Abduction and ransom.

Money is usually the objective,

but something is strange about today's incident.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

2:30 is the time that I get sleepy.

What happened?

-Call the police! -Ambulance! Call an ambulance.

There's no need to call an ambulance.

He died on the spot.

He was going at tremendous speed.

He couldn't possibly have controlled the wheels at the speed he was going.

What's with this load of cash?

Unreal.

Huh? There seems to be a letter inside.

Give it to me!

"Here is 30,000,000 yen. I haven't contact the police.

Please return my father right away. Domoto."

Which means that this money is...

Ransom that was prepared to get back a hostage.

"A Mock Kidnap... Case"

The name of the man who died is Takeshi Hirano.

He has a record of being arrested for threatening and taking cash.

He's on the kidnappers side for sure.

I wonder if he was on his way back after taking the ransom money?

If Hirano alone committed this crime,

we've got trouble.

Nobody knows where the kidnapped person is being confined.

On top of that, we don't have time.

"My father has kidney ailment.

He needs medication every six hours.

I've enclose it, so please administer it to him."

It means that the hostage will not get this medication.

Unless we hurry and find the hostage.

But where is he being confined?

First, we've got to find out who the hostage is.

We know his last name is Domoto but Domoto of where?

Maybe he was visiting a hospital

to get his medicine.

This is Beika Electric Company.

We've come to deliver the TV set you ordered.

I haven't ordered it.

Maybe it's some mistake?

No. It's no mistake.

Please verify the order form.

We did not order any TV set.

We're the police.

Dear.

The police?

Hey, long time no see!

Remember I was an upperclassman at the same university?

It's me, me.

And I'm his son!

How do you do?

How come you're here, too?

You'll look less suspicious with a child, right?

This is a kidnap case, isn't it?

Yes.

Our father...

We matched the "Domotos"

that live within Tokyo and visit the hospital for kidney ailment,

and came up with your father.

Mr. Shozo Domoto, who goes to the Beika Central Hospital.

But why?

We were told that if we report this to the police, father would be killed.

The situation has changed.

Why does the police have this?

We left it where we were told to leave it.

That culprit passed away of a traffic accident while on his motorbike.

The culprit?

Please don't give up.

We are tracing the friends of this man.

We're hoping to find the place

where your father is being confined from the hints we may get from them.

To think that this did not reach father.

It says every six hours,

but when is the last time your father was injected?

At 9:00 this morning.

Which means the next shot...

has to be given to him at 3:00 in the afternoon.

It's way past time!

Inspector.

It's not that he's going to fall into serious condition right away,

but if there is a time span of more than eight hours...

The limit is eight hours, which means...

The time limit is 5:00 in the afternoon.

There's only an hour and a half left.

Please tell us when and in what way your father was kidnapped,

as well as how you coped with the situation.

The more in detail the better.

There are four of us living here.

Shosaburo Domoto, my father who runs a metal processing company,

his only daughter, me,

my husband Akinori

and our housekeeper, Masayo.

Today is the company's establishment day, so it was closed.

That's why everyone was at home from morning.

I'm also working at father's company.

You have married into your wife's family.

And will eventually become the heir.

I injected father at 9:00 in the morning,

and went to visit a friend of mine.

I had promised to go see her from sometime before.

After that, father went out for a walk.

He always does on his days off.

And at about 10:00, I went into my study

because I had some documents I had to get together.

At about 11:00, when I was cleaning the bath tub, the phone rang.

It was the voice of a young man.

Get one of the family members on the phone.

This is Domoto speaking.

What? Kidnap?

In other words, Mr. Shosaburo Domoto was kidnapped

while taking a walk between the hours of 09:00 to 11:00.

When he takes a walk, does he always walk the same course?

Yes, it's almost always the same.

Can you tell me about where it is?

There could be a hint leading to the place of confinement.

I'll go look.

I called and told her to come home right away.

I'll do everything I can to get together the ransom of 30,000,000 yen

that is being demanded, so don't worry.

As long as we give them the money, father will be all right.

Leave it to me.

I'm counting on you, Akinari!

Now, everything will be okay.

Thank you, Akinari.

Hello.

Yes, the ransom...

"I'll return the hostage as soon as I confirm the cash, so wait at home."

I believed what he told me.

I even enclosed the medicine just in case, too.

5:00. Only one more hour to go before the time limit.

Don't cry. I know father's going to come back safely.

Yes, we'd like to pray that he's okay,

regardless of how we usually feel about him.

Uncle Kogoro told me to ask you.

What did you mean when you said,

"regardless of how we usually feel about him" a while ago?

Well...

Akinari always had it tough with Mr. Domoto.

Had it tough?

Of all things,

I feel no ambition or spirit from you at all.

I'm trying the best I can for the company, too.

You're just not cut out to take after me.

Just looking at you makes me lose my appetite.

Father!

Mr. Domoto is strict to the point

that it makes you wonder why he's so hard on Akinari.

But his wife protects him at times like these, right?

When they first got married, they really got along well.

But recently, even Mrs. Domoto...

Aren't you vexed?

Making him talk that way about you. Be a man!

Mitsuko, why are you acting like this?

I wonder if it's her father's influence?

But him being kidnapped is another story.

Even Akinari will worry about him and hope that he is safe.

That's why he gathered the ransom with all his might.

I guess so.

This has nothing to do with the kidnapping.

It's me.

According to a friend who goes around with Takeshi Hirano,

he says that Hirano seemed to have a lot of money on him since a week ago.

Which means that Hirano was hired and paid by someone.

Probably.

But I haven't got info on who hired him yet.

So, you don't know who it is yet.

Continue asking around his friends and acquaintances.

If only we can find who it is,

we may get a hint on where Mr. Domoto is being confined.

There's another mastermind behind this.

But if so, something is odd.

Something's strange, isn't it, Inspector?

What is?

The mastermind.

The guy who went to get the ransom hasn't come back for a while.

Therefore, wouldn't he normally call to demand

what happened to the money, saying,

"What happened to the money? Are going to leave the hostage to die?"

I see. Now that you mentioned it.

Exactly.

Why does the mastermind seem quite indifferent to the money

after having demanded it?

Father!

Mitsuko.

Maybe the real purpose of this kidnapping is...

I see.

If so...

Oh, my. What is it now, kid?

Mr. Akinari Domoto was in his study all morning today, right?

Yes, he had work to do.

Did he say something to you back then?

Something?

Well...

Masayo, I'm going to concentrate on work for a while.

So you don't have to bring me tea or anything.

Just as I thought.

If so...

Machine oil.

No doubt about it.

I figured out who the real culprit of this kidnapping case is.

But I know that the person will play dumb

even if I try to pressure him for a confession.

And the time limit will eventually come.

That's the real purpose behind all this, not the ransom.

It's 4:30, only 30 minutes more to go.

Where is the place the hostage is confined?

Hey, kid. What're you doing staring at a map?

I was just wondering where the motorbike was headed for.

Where? The hideout where the hostage is confined.

That's why from the place he picked up the ransom in Beika Park,

to the scene of the accident, over here.

If you draw a line beyond it is...

Most likely.

But Conan...

But you can't tell if it's 10 or 100 kilometres away.

Huh? There's a place with the same name as this house.

Huh?

Domoto Metal Processing?

That's our factory.

But since we moved and built a new one in East Beika six months ago,

it's closed down now.

Which means it's not in use anymore.

So nobody is there or will come there anymore.

Inspector, it's the ideal place for confining someone.

Very probable.

Conan, give me the map.

Yes, sir!

Then, father is in that factory?

There's a possibility he is.

There's only 15 more minutes left.

Mrs. Domoto, please don't give up until the end.

Pops, great phrase.

Please hold up for another 15 minutes.

Stop. Time, please stop.

Father.

Give it to me, I'll open it.

Father!

-Mr. Domoto! -Mr. Domoto!

Father!

Father.

Father!

He's still breathing!

This is Takagi.

Please send an ambulance over.

The location is...

Mr. Domoto, get a hold of yourself!

Your wife will head for the hospital.

You go, too.

Yes, sir.

Please wait, Mr. Domoto.

Why?

He's transformed into the Sleeping Koori!

Mr. Mouri?

I believe that Mr. Domoto will be all right,

regardless of whether you hope otherwise, Akinari.

Hope otherwise?

Just what do you mean?

The minute I found out

that this kidnapping was not after ransom, I realized something.

According to what Conan heard from Masayo, the housekeeper,

you and Mitsuko really got along, and got married loving each other.

But after you entered the Domoto family as her wedded husband...

tough days of being criticized by Mr. Domoto for not being ambitious

or not being fit for being an heir continued everyday.

You most naturally hated Mr. Domoto

and thought you'd like to erase him from this world.

Don't tell me...

But you didn't have the courage to do so.

Therefore, you thought up this scheme.

Scheme?

Don't be ridiculous. Just what're you talking about?

I know nothing of it.

No! The culprit is Akinari, Inspector Megure.

What?

It can't be.

Mr. Domoto was kidnapped while taking a walk.

At that time Akinari was...

I was doing my work in the study!

I wonder if that's true?

When going into the study, you...

Masayo, I'm going to concentrate on work for a while.

So you don't have to bring me tea or anything.

And after saying so to Masayo,

you wore the shoes that you prepared beforehand.

You caught up with Mr. Domoto who was taking a walk

and got him to get in the car.

What on earth do you want to talk to me about

after bringing me to a place like this?

I tell you, what kind of man are you.

If you have something you want to say, just get to the point.

Oh, no.

Akinari, take me home quickly.

I don't have my medicine with me.

Akinari, there's a phone call for you.

What? Kidnap?

And you acted out the role of the victim.

Of course there is evidence, too.

The same kind of machine oil

that is smeared over the floor of this factory,

should be found on the frame of the window frame of your study,

showing that you went out and came back in from the window.

I'm sure that the tissue paper that you used to wipe it off

can also be found somewhere in the room.

And above all,

your footprints when you went in and out of your study.

From the Domoto residence to here, it takes an hour to go and come back.

It was possible for you to commit the crime

between 10:00 to 11:00, the time you were confined to your study.

It is possible,

but he didn't have to do it himself.

He could've made the guy Hirano that he hired do it, couldn't he?

That man was probably not told

that he was lending a hand to kidnapping.

He lent a hand without knowing?

Akinari asked Hirano to do just two things.

Call me at 11:00 in the morning and 2:00 in the afternoon,

then pick up a trunk at Beika Park.

It's for your benefit not to know what's inside the trunk or who I am.

Because if he tells of his scheme, Hirano would hold his weak point.

And aware that his wife was going out,

he decided to carry out his scheme today.

What? Kidnapped father?

Ransom...

Beika Park...

In other words, he was acting the conversation out alone.

Yes. Only if Hirano didn't get into an accident,

The money could be retrieved later,

and the scheme would've worked out fine,

with neither the police nor the detective showing up.

All he had to do was pretend to be worried about Shosaburo and wait.

Exactly.

But the motive is not correct, Mr. Mouri.

It's true that I hated him.

I did want him to disappear.

But that's not all.

I wanted to show my wife

how hard I tried to get the money together.

I thought that if she saw that,

her love for me would return once again.

It's me, Mitsuko!

I'm glad. Father's life has been saved.

When he regains consciousness, I'll tell him

how desperately you went around to gather money for him,

as well as how worried you were.

I'm sure that father

will stop deliberately taking his anger out on you from now on.

Deliberately?

In order to make you a fine heir,

father deliberately took on the hated role and acted it out.

Because father actually likes you.

He always says, "He's never seen someone as diligent as you."

I began putting on an act just like father recently.

But I didn't like doing it. I'm sorry.

Hello?

Hello? Akinari?

Hello?
