Original subtitles

The love story of two police officers.

The Youth Detective Squad plays a part.

And the case takes a surprising turn!

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

Sorry...

Officer Sato?

What is it you want to talk to me about?

What do I do?

Officer Takagi, just get inside!

Oh, okay!

What it is? What in the world is it?

I wonder if I did something wrong again?

Officer Sato's birthday is in April.

I kept her company at karaoke too.

Don't tell me that...

She's going to ask me to break up with her?

Wait...

No way.

What?

I got you! You fell for it.

What?

How'd you like it?

Just great, isn't it, Officer Takagi?

This toy!

I'm going to try it on Officer Yumi next!

Officer Sato!

Don't tell me you brought me all the way here just to try that on me?

Exactly.

Is there anything wrong?

We're finished work and ready to go home anyway.

Come on.

Or are you saying that

I can't ask you to come with me unless I have something important to do?

Police Sergeant Takagi?

No.

They sure are in love.

No. They're no way close to being in love yet...

Well... They're probably going to make it soon.

No! Not for sometime yet.

Stop it, will you, Officer Sato?

"Love Story at Police Headquarters 6 (Part 1)"

Request for dispatch from the Tottori Prefectural Police?

Yeah.

You know of them, don't you, Megure?

The band of thieves that started raiding that area

and are now stealing nationwide.

Okay. See you.

A joint investigation headquarters was set up in Tottori

and they're asking for people from the First Investigation Division here.

But, Sergeant!

Isn't it supposed to be taken care of by the Third Division?

Have you forgotten, Megure?

They've also committed attempted murder in Tokyo too.

Oh, that's right.

Of course, they're sending one person from the third division

but they'll also be sending one from the first division.

Who would you recommend?

Well...

Someone who's single, brilliant and has robust enough

to tolerate the hard work in a different prefecture.

If that person is familiar with the area it's even better.

That's right.

Hey, Megure! Wasn't his hometown somewhere in Tottori?

Who?

What? Who do you mean?

Him. Takagi! Officer Takagi!

What? Takagi?

Oh, no!

I think he's a good candidate, don't you?

Yes, I guess so.

Although his appearance doesn't show it,

he's pretty sharp and I hear he's solved a lot of cases too.

Okay then, Sergeant.

I'll notify him tomorrow morning.

Thanks. That'll be a great help.

It's sad to think that he's going to go far away.

Hide's really going abroad.

We still don't know for sure, do we?

England is the place where soccer originated, right?

If you're a fan,

wouldn't you like to see him play at the original location?

That's true but...

Well, as far as I'm concerned,

I feel that it's a good idea to go abroad and get tough,

more so, for the World Cup.

That's right.

The World Cup.

The World Cup?

It seems like it's stopped raining.

Oh, true.

I see.

That man was heaving hard

and he seemed to be having a hard time.

Of course! Because he's jogging.

Come on, we'd better hurry or we'll be late for school!

She's right!

Let's go!

What?

That's what I heard. And...

Hey! Are you listening?

Miwako?

Oh. Yeah.

Oh, no! I'm barely going to make it.

Good morning!

Sorry...

Is there anything on my face?

Officer Yumi?

Officer Takagi.

Yes?

Goodbye...

Wait...

Just what do you mean?

What?

I'm going to be dispatched

to the joint investigation headquarters in Tottori?

Maybe you got the wrong person.

Stupid! You're the only Takagi here!

Don't play dumb!

According to Yumi, you should've gotten a call from Inspector Megure.

What? Come to think of it,

I did get a call from the inspector this morning.

I was still drowsy, so I didn't really follow what he was saying.

See. It's that phone call.

What?

But I get to come back after the case is solved anyway so...

You don't understand anything, do you?

The headquarters is pursuing the robbers

that are committing the serial robberies nationwide, you know?

In most cases like these, who knows how many incidents there are.

And besides, if there are several members involved,

who knows when the case'll be solved.

Well, things'll work out.

With his ability...

Three years will probably enough to solve the case.

Three years...

Three years?

Three years. 1,095 days. 26,280 hours.

The Heavens have not forsaken me.

I'm happy for you!

The air is clean in Tottori

and you can eat all you want of Matsuba crab!

You can ride camels at the sand dunes of Tottori too!

-No, I will not! -Officer Takagi.

Officer Sato.

Don't forget to send me 20th Century Japanese Pears, okay?

They're my favorite.

What?

That's the word!

That's my favorite.

Matsuba Crab is our favorite.

Don't forget the camels while you're at it, okay?

What's with all this noise?

We've got a case!

The scene of the crime is

on the third floor of a skyscraper located on Beikacho Yonchome!

A man was found stabbed to death.

According to report by investigators,

the one who found the corpse seems to be a woman.

Sato and Takagi, go to the scene of the crime on the double!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

And Megure you take care of giving orders at the scene.

Oh, no, well...

Please have Mr. Chosuke take care of things this time, Sergeant!

Mr. Chosuke!

Okay.

On the double!

Yes, sir!

Officer Chosuke!

This is the first time I'm teaming with you, isn't it, Officer Chosuke?

Yeah, let's get to work.

Officer Takagi.

Yes, sir!

Mr. Chosuke is a veteran that's two years older than me.

Learn a lot from him, will you?

Yes, sir! Of course!

And...

This may be the last time he'll be teaming with you.

What?

Officer Takagi. Goodbye!

Are you serious?

Hide's press conference was from noon, right?

Oh, no!

We'd better hurry or we'll miss it!

We'll make it!

Hide's press conference will be the top news of today!

It'll probably be aired several times all night.

Something seems to have happened.

Yeah.

The name of the man that was stabbed is Mr. Hirotoshi Nakamoto,

age 27, an office worker.

The murder weapon is an 18 cm knife.

The estimated time of death is

between 7 am to 7:30 am today.

You, his colleague at work, came here at 1 pm and found him dead.

Yes, sir.

I took a day off from work today

and was supposed to go with him to reserve our wedding hall.

How could something like this happen?

And...

Do you know of anyone who may have had a grudge against him?

"Yui Shimura" -He was the type to make enemies.

It seems the killer is an acquaintance of his.

Yes, the door was locked.

Then, will you pick out the person that you think

may have had a grudge against him from the album?

I'll go check the person out.

Can you see something?

It's Officer Takagi and Officer Sato!

So take care of it, okay?

Yes.

Did something happen?

I'll bet it's a homicide case?

Yeah, well...

Didn't it happen around a little after 7 am this morning?

Officer Sato.

How do you know about it?

We saw a suspicious looking person on our way to school.

On the street near this condominium!

Come on, Conan!

That man was just jogging and...

Remember! Just before we passed that man,

it stopped raining, right?

Yes. It was a rain shower that lasted about 10 minutes.

But that guy's clothes was hardly wet at all.

Why do you think it wasn't wet?

Maybe he was taking shelter from the rain somewhere?

Because it started raining while he was jogging.

And he started running again because it stopped raining!

Idiot! If he rested 10 minutes, he wouldn't be heaving like that!

In other words, he wasn't out of breath because he was jogging.

But because he was hyper from having stabbed someone in a room near here.

That's what you wanted to say, right, Sonny?

Is that man here?

What?

I think...

This man!

This man sort of looks like him!

That man... He's Mr. Kato, a colleague of his at work!

If I remember correctly, I heard that he was freeloading

at his friend's place.

Do you know where that house is?

Oh, yes.

What? A little after 7 am this morning?

"Akira Kato" -I was here right through.

No! You're the one who stabbed Hirotoshi, aren't you?

What? Me? Commit murder?

Just what are you talking about? Out of the blue like that.

What's going on? Cut out the noise.

I told you to get rid of door-to-door sales, didn't I?

Oh, well... The thing is...

So, what's the problem?

What?

-What? -Officer Chiba?

Yeah.

This is interesting.

What? Suspect of a homicide case?

You mean Kato?

Yes, that's right.

His colleague at work, Mr. Hirotoshi Nakamoto, was murdered.

The murder weapon was a knife.

It was found on the floor beside the body.

And the estimated time of death was?

Between 7 am to 7:30 am this morning.

Then, he couldn't have committed the crime.

Because he woke me up at 7 am,

and we were here together watching TV until 8 pm.

Right?

Yeah.

Is it true?

Yes. We were watching Nichiuri TV's live morning broadcast

"Morning Live Seven", a news variety program.

But, Officer Chiba, he woke you up, didn't he?

Then it could be that he showed you something that

he had video taped some time ago, right?

No way!

I've got proof too.

By the way, why am I suspected in the first place?

Because you're my ex-boyfriend!

There's an eye-witness

that says he saw you a little past 7 am near the condominium!

Are you sure that guy wasn't half asleep and mistook me for someone else?

We weren't half asleep!

I saw it clearly!

It was him!

He was wearing a gray parka top.

You were running with a black knapsack on your back!

Just as if you were jogging.

Let's have Officer Chiba show us in!

And show us proof that he was watching TV with that man

from 7 am to 8 am in the morning.

Wait... What's this?

What a mess!

I can see why you're always late for work.

I'm doing the best I can!

I'm recently not as tardy as I used to be, right?

Come to think of it, that's true.

How come?

Oh, well, I sort of did something to give me initiative to get up.

What's with these toys here?

Don't tell me that you're some special effects freak or something?

Who cares?

I mean after all, it's just a hobby.

It's Gomera! Gomera!

Masked Yaiba is here too!

-That's a rare object made of tin! -Hey! Don't get rough with them.

I told you all to wait in the car

with Mr. Kato and Ms. Shimura, didn't I?

And, where is it?

The proof you mentioned that both of you were watching TV together.

Oh, yes, sir! It's this video tape.

Hi! This is "Yoko Okino's Four-minute Cooking"!

It's February 25th, Friday.

I video tape this corner of "Morning Live Seven" each time.

Last night, I watched rental videos with Kato while drinking

and fell asleep here.

I forgot to pre-set the program to record it

so I recorded it myself today.

That's why he couldn't have shown me something he recorded beforehand.

Besides that, there is only one video tape deck is being used.

But, there's another deck here.

That's one that we only use sometimes for dubbing!

If he used that deck,

the cord would show in front of the TV,

and I would notice it no matter how drowsy I may be.

If you think it's a lie, call the TV station and confirm it!

It's the corner after Nichiruri TV's "Morning Live Seven"'s

weather forecast of today, February 25th, Friday.

Gosh. You have many marks in other places too.

Even the cable TV programs are marked.

There are so many programs I want to watch.

I see.

That's why you've got so many memo pads stuck all over the TV.

And? After watching the program until 8 pm, what did you do?

I watched videos from 8 pm.

What video?

Oh, well... That's...

Chiba! Hey!

Don't tell me?

X-rated videos?

What? No!

"Masked Yaiba" -It's this video...

This.

"Masked Yaiba"

-It's "Masked Yaiba"! -It's "Masked Yaiba"!

Amazing!

Yaiba kick!

This is first episode of the first Yaiba!

The mask of the first Yaiba was really gross

but that was one of the good points!

And how long were you watching this children's program?

I watched one 120 minute tape.

You mean you watched it for two hours?

No, it's taped on triple the regular speed

and the commercials aren't cut so...

-Six hours? -Six hours?

Did you video tape all the tapes, Officer Chiba?

No, Kato gave me the ones he taped before.

And were you with him right through?

No, after watching half the program I went to take a shower,

for about 30 minutes.

Then, I started watching again.

I watched all the way to episode 12 and stopped the video.

Then professional baseball was being aired so.

You know, the game from 2 pm the Falcons versus the Jaguars!

Officer Chosuke and the others came along

while I was watching that game.

I see.

From here to the victim's condominium,

it would take at least an hour by car.

If after watching TV for an hour,

they watched the video for approximately six hours together,

his alibi is established.

Just to be sure, let's look for the gray parka top

and black knapsack the man had on him.

What? Is that for real?

What? What is it?

Did you find something?

No.

Nothing really.

Gosh. If there's nothing, don't shout!

-Sorry. -Sorry.

And how long is the dispatch to Tottori going to be?

The guys at the first division says it'll be about three years.

And what did Officer Sato say?

She wants me to get her some 20th Century Japanese Pears.

Is that it?

That's it.

Strange.

It's more natural that she would get more upset.

Well...

although I'll be dispatched, it seems I get to take off once a month,

and I can call her frequently too.

I hope you don't end up like Kato.

What?

He was abroad on a business trip till last month,

but as soon as he got back,

he called me and asked me to put him up here.

He said that while he was away, the woman he was living with

started going out with another man,

so he was left without a place to stay.

And...

He used to call her everyday, and yet,

he complained he could never understand women.

If you're serious about her,

I think you should let her know, don't you?

About how you feel and what your plans are for the future.

And, you never know what'll happen to you either, right?

Me?

Maybe...

Maybe end up finding a lover over there!

-What? -That's right.

If that happens, he won't be coming home for a while.

No way.

Yes. It is said that the hearts of people proportionately pull apart,

the more time passes.

Although there rarely seems to be exceptions at times.

Hey.

I will never go with a woman other than her!

Never!

What do you mean?

Just who are we talking about?

Who?

What?

We were talking about Hide.

Because he may be going abroad.

Oh, Hide.

It seems that Hide decided to remain in Japan.

-What? -Really?

You saw the press conference they had in the afternoon?

No, right after "Morning Live Seven" started,

there was a flash news report subtitle displayed on the screen.

It said, "Player Akagi Hideo of the Tokyo Spirits

have announced that he will remain!

A press conference will be held at 12 noon."

Did the newscaster mention anything about that news later?

No, not in particular.

Wait a second.

Maybe...

I see, so that's the story!

But, it's not possible.

Even if this trick were to be used, there are still...

There are still some parts I cannot explain.

How was it done?

How was the time rigged?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Clock"

-The next episode... -Will be about...

-The two police officers... -Finally...

Breaking up.
