All language subtitles for Detective Conan 0392 [NetflixJP] [1080p]

Today's case involves Officer Takagi.

An unimaginable alibi trick.

Will the police be able to outwit the killer?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

I've to a lot of things to buy today, so be prepared, okay?

Yes.

She sure is in a good mood.

It sure feels good today!

Yes. True.

-Conan? -I'll be right back!

I'm sorry to bother you many times.

I'd like to confirm the time and situation of

when the body was found again.

The time was yesterday at 8 am.

The president didn't show up for the morning assembly before work

so you went to call him.

Yes, sir!

This way, please.

The president's room is in another building?

Yes, it's beyond the office.

You found President Katsugoro Kitamura lying there on the floor.

Yes, sir. That's right.

President.

Excuse me.

President, is there going to be no morning assembly today?

President!

President?

President!

"Mysterious 20 cm Height Discrepancy"

Did you notice anything at that time?

Not that I can remember.

The culprit was already arrested, right?

Why are you investigating things again?

You don't have concrete evidence?

Yeah. Rather we found out something totally absurd.

Hey, what's that absurd thing that you found out about?

Conan?

Conan!

Conan, you can't just run off like that.

Ran?

I'm so sorry!

And what's that absurd thing that you were talking about?

Yes. Well...

The victim is Mr. Katsugoro Kitamura, age 47.

He is the president of this factory.

The estimated time of death is

between 4 pm to 10 pm.

Soon after the body was found,

a cordon was set up.

The following day, which is yesterday,

the suspect was taken custody at the police.

However...

The suspect is Yuichi Minamida, age 47.

He is an owner chef of a small western food restaurant

and...

I was a classmate of the victim in high school.

"Yuichi Minamida (47)" -It's true that I went

to Kitamura's place yesterday.

But, I didn't do it.

You had a debt of three million yen that you owed Mr. Kitamura.

He refused to extend the deadline for your repayment,

so you were cornered and stabbed him.

-That's the story, isn't it? -Do you have evidence?

Are my prints on the knife that is the murder weapon?

They didn't detected any fingerprints

but the knife was discovered in his home.

In other words, the fingerprints were wiped off completely

after the murder was committed.

Inspector.

Beside owing Mr. Kitamura money,

you have another strong motive to kill him, don't you?

Mr. Kitamura was after your shop and your land.

He spread rumors about the sanitation standards at your shop,

which sent you into a financial rut.

Three months ago, he lent you three million yen.

"Katsugoro Kitamura (47), Factory President"

Minamida, after finding out what Mr. Kitamura was actually after,

was enraged and told the people around him how vexed he was.

On the day of payment,

which is also the day the murder was committed, at 1 pm,

Minamida appeared at this office to see Mr. Kitamura.

It's already 3 pm, just how long do you intend to stay here?

Please! Just another three days...

No, two days will do.

I lent you the cash because of the good old times.

If you don't have the cash, give me the deed to the land.

Kitamura!

What the...

Excuse me, president!

We're having some problems with the machine.

Okay! Go on ahead!

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Geez! I guess I have no choice.

What do you think you're doing?

I know just what you're after!

Let go of me!

You schemed it from the very start!

-Let go! -You were after my land to begin with!

So what?

Leave your deed here and get lost.

You darn loser!

I think those words made Minamida make up his mind.

He waited for Mr. Kitamura to return.

But Minamida...

Yes, he did come back after about 30 minutes.

I started to negotiate with him once again,

and stayed there until around 6 pm in the evening,

but was eventually kicked out of the room.

What? A person who can testify to that?

I don't know.

I see! You've got all the circumstantial evidence,

but no concrete evidence.

I'm sure this is what Pops would say.

You haven't told me about the absurd thing yet!

The absurd thing is

the height difference between the suspect and Minamida.

Height difference?

What do you mean by that?

He's pretty tough to handle.

Besides...

The strange confidence I sense from him bothers me too.

Inspector!

I got an absurd report from the forensic officer.

The height of the victim Kitamura is 166 cm

and Minamida is 186 cm.

Minamida is 20 cm taller.

If so, then what?

In the case that a tall person stabs a person shorter than he is,

the angle of the knife would usually be from diagonally above.

On the other hand, if a short person stabs someone taller than himself,

it would be from diagonally below.

The knife that was stabbed into Kitamura's chest was

from diagonally below. In other words...

It's impossible for Minamida who is 20 cm taller

to have committed the crime.

No way.

So, I had the forensic officers use the angle of the knife

to calculate backwards

and come up with the height of the killer.

-And? -Yes, sir!

The results came out to be that the person is 110 cm.

-What? -What?

110 cm?

Isn't that the height of a child?

I get it!

If the killer stabbed from below where there are stairs,

even with Mr. Minamida's height,

he'd be able to stab from below.

The scene of the murder was a one-story building, with no stairs,

and there were no traces of the body being moved.

Then! He probably attacked the victim when he was off his guard?

Oh! Just what do you think you're doing?

He sank down low on the spur of the moment and stabbed?

Takagi. You just stabbed me, didn't you?

I'm sorry.

Inspector! I think that the killer is Minamida too.

But, the victim was stabbed from the front.

So, it's hard to believe that he was attacked when he was off his guard.

Moreover, a week before the incident,

Minamida sprained his ankle.

I wonder if he can make a surprise attack with his leg in a cast.

He would never be able to do something like that.

He may have been threatened with the knife

and forced to go up somewhere, and stabbed from below.

That's not possible.

The victim, Mr. Kitamura is a ranking judo belt owner,

so he wouldn't be intimidated by Minamida sticking a knife at him.

Everyone around him says Mr. Kitamura was probably strong

enough to attack Minamida instead.

True, no matter how you look at it.

Does that mean the difference in height is what's protecting Minamida?

What? You've got another picture!

No, Conan!

What? This man's wearing glasses?

He's not wearing them in the other picture.

Oh, these are reading glasses.

Reading glasses are something you wear when reading something, right?

Does that mean that Mr. Kitamura was attacked

when he was reading something?

But there's nothing like that in this room.

Right, the thing that Mr. Kitamura was supposedly reading back then

is nowhere in sight.

The problem is that something is gone

and Minamida took it with him.

Oh! You're right on, Officer Takagi!

What on earth could it be?

We still don't know why he took it with him.

Hey, are these slippers the president's?

Yeah, that's right.

What about when Mr. Minamida came the day before yesterday?

Of course he was wearing them.

Mr. Minamida was barefoot though.

But, why are the slippers over here like this?

They probably came off from the impact when he was stabbed!

Impact?

But isn't it strange that they came off from the impact

when he was stabbed?

What?

Because they're nicely in place

just as if someone had put them in place, right?

I haven't touched them!

The slippers have been this way since the body was found.

They came off.

If not so, Mr. Minamida took them off after he killed the victim?

Why would he go out of his way to do something like that?

You think so, don't you?

Or maybe Mr. Kitamura took them off himself?

That's it!

But, why would he do something like that?

I can't figure it out!

Stabbed from the front diagonally below.

Height difference.

A ladder?

What?

What did he do?

President Kitamura.

What did he do?

With the ladder?

This is it!

But wait, why did Minamida think up something like this?

Why would an ordinary chef think up the trick of disguising his height

by doing something like this?

Why?

What were you waiting for?

At first, we thought it was a crime committed on the spur of the moment.

But after watching you, we've come to understand

that it was a carefully thought out murder.

If so, there's got to be a reason why you stayed in the president's room

from 1 pm to 6 pm.

You had another purpose other than asking him

to extend the time of repayment of the debt.

Five hours in the president's office.

Just what were you waiting for?

A miracle.

I guess.

Officer Takagi.

I've found out something absurd!

But, this is only a deduction.

I need evidence that will lead him to confess. Evidence.

What?

Something absurd?

Another absurd thing.

I hope it's not bad news.

Ten years ago, there was a series of random killings

within the Minato Police Station.

The person who was arrested back then

was Yuichi Minamida who was a company employee!

Although Minamida denied this,

the prosecutor had confidence and indicted him.

But the evidence that his lawyers submitted saved Minamida.

That proof was the angle of the stab wound

that the random killer left behind.

It was proven that with his height,

Minamida wouldn't have been able to stab anyone at that angle.

Moreover, during his hearing a new killer was arrested.

And the case was solved.

Which means that Minamida knew from the start

that the height difference between him

and the victim would serve as evidence in court?

I see! That's why he thought up this trick.

Right. In this case,

a trick involving height difference was used!

A trick using height difference is involved.

And what kind of trick is that, Officer Sato?

I haven't figured it out yet.

I'll go report this to Inspector Megure.

Officer Takagi, go back to headquarters right away too!

I'm going back to headquarters then.

Thank you so very much!

No problem.

Hey, you said Mr. Kitamura's height is 166 cm.

It that really tall for an adult or too short?

I want to become an adult quickly too,

because it's inconvenient being a child.

When things are in high places, I've got to use a ladder.

Adults are lucky at that point

because they don't have to use a ladder.

A ladder.

That's not really true.

When cleaning the air conditioner and changing light bulbs,

even Dad uses a ladder.

Light bulbs?

If the light bulbs were out at that time...

No way.

You mean the lights so conveniently went out back then?

Conan!

My mother used to always say, "Turn on the lights when it gets dark."

Conan!

She used to say that we'll ruin our eyes if we read in dark places.

In dark places. A book?

Reading glasses and...

light bulbs.

Slippers!

I see!

You guys get going home too! Okay?

All that I need now is proof to make him confess what he did.

Officer Takagi! He seems to have hit upon an idea!

Mr. Yuichi Minamida.

The thing that you waited for five hours

in Mr. Kitamura's president's room

was sundown, right?

Sundown?

Why would I have to wait for sundown?

Because that's when Mr. Kitamura turns on the lights of the office.

But the chandelier did not turn on that day.

Mr. Kitamura, who wanted to check out what was wrong, climbed a ladder.

You took this opportunity

to stab Mr. Kitamura who is 20 cm shorter than you from below.

Ridiculous.

Are you saying that the bulbs just happened to go out on that day?

Are you saying that I knew the bulbs were going to go out?

The bulbs didn't go out.

You loosened them!

What do you think you're doing?

I know just what you're after!

Let go of me!

You schemed it from the very start!

-Let go! -You were after my land to begin with!

Eating, going to the restroom,

if you stick it out for five hours,

you had all the opportunity in the world to wait for Mr. Kitamura

to leave the office.

You probably loosened the bulbs

when he left to go check on machine trouble.

Mr. Kitamura left the room for 30 minutes.

How can you be sure that

Kitamura would check the bulbs of the chandelier himself?

He's so haughty, it's more likely that he'd call one of his employees.

In order for him not to do so,

you handed over some important documents

after it started getting dark.

His reading glasses told us so.

What? Reading glasses?

The dead body was wearing reading glasses.

He was reading something,

no rather, it's evidence that he was trying to read something.

That something was also very important to the killer.

It was the deed for the land,

where your shop is that Mr. Kitamura wanted, wasn't it?

So, you've finally decided to give this to me.

It's not a black out.

Darn it! Not again.

Why at a time like this?

You set it up so that he checked the light himself

because he would find calling one of his employee is a waste of time.

What's this?

They're just loose.

You admit to your crime, don't you?

His reading glasses and slippers will probably serve as evidence

that Mr. Kitamura climbed the ladder.

But that's not proof that I loosened the bulbs.

Takagi.

Officer Takagi.

Hey, hey.

Oh, yes!

It's me, Mouri.

Mr. Mouri!

I heard about the case from Ran.

Did Minamida confess?

A little bit more.

He demanded that I show him proof that he rigged the chandelier.

Not having proof is the proof.

What? Just what do you mean?

Yes...

I see! I understand, I'll do so right away!

Inspector! I'm going to check with the forensic officers!

Hey, Takagi! Takagi!

What on earth is on his mind, anyway?

Okay! This is it for now!

-For now? -Yes.

Mr. Minamida, all culprits make mistakes.

There was one more thing besides the glasses and the slippers.

After committing the murder,

you wiped off your fingerprints from the knife, the murder weapon.

At the same time, you naturally wiped off your fingerprints

from the bulbs that you loosened.

Yes, the fact that it's not there may sometimes serves as proof.

I checked again with the forensic officer

whether any fingerprints were found on the chandelier.

No fingerprints were found whatsoever.

Mr. Kitamura's fingerprints that were supposed to be there weren't either.

I confirmed with his bereaved family too.

The bulbs of the chandelier also went out a month ago,

and it seems Mr. Kitamura himself changed the bulbs.

And yet, no one's fingerprints were found.

This is proof that someone obviously rigged the bulbs.

The trick that you used of making Mr. Kitamura climb the ladder

and stabbing him from below

is the same trick of height difference and angle of the stab wound

that served as proof to your innocence 10 years ago, Mr. Minamida.

On the contrary, this time lead to accusing you as the killer.

Ten years ago, I was innocent.

But my company fired me as soon as I was arrested.

My father was the only one who believed me.

The shop was the dream of my father who died a year ago.

It's his dream that I had to take over and protect.

Kitamura tried to take that away from me!

He's the real criminal!

But, no matter what reasons you may have,

what value is there to a dream that you must protect

at the expense of someone's life?

-At Sanchome! -At Sanchome!

There's a black demon!

What did he just say?

-I don't know! -Yes!

This is the Mouri Detective Agency.

Officer Takagi, what's up?

Yes! Thanks to you, he confessed!

What? Confessed?

-We're back! -What?

Minamida? What?

Thank you so very much!

Goodbye.

What is he talking about?

Hey, what's the matter, Pops?

He said Minamida confessed and thank you.

All right.

Don't tell me something happened again without my knowing?

It's pretty interesting being a detective!

I agree with you, Pops!

Next Conan's Hint:

"Oil"

I received cookies today.

-What? From who? -You want some?

-That's not what I mean. -I'm not giving you any.
