Detective Conan will be going into its 10th year.

One down and more to come!

Today's story is the climax of the Butsumetsu mystery.

Ran's casual remark helps clear-up the mystery!

It rings a bell to something that was almost overlooked!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We were invited to a wealthy person's residence in Shizuoka prefecture.

At that residence,

for the past few years,

on the 4th of Butsumetsu, a phenomenon was always said to occur.

And on October 4th,

there were two victims in the house.

What? Fingerprints were detected from the rope and medicine bottle?

And? Whose fingerprints did it match?

Well...

It doesn't match anyone who works in this house.

It's an unknown fingerprint.

"The Evil Spirit that Appears on Butsumetsu (Solution)"

Then we know it's an outsider who did it.

Can we go back to our rooms and rest?

Yes. A policeman will be right outside each of your rooms,

but please get some rest.

Hey, where does Mr. Sekiguchi live and what does he do?

His company is...

Mr. Watabiki?

Yes.

It's Sekiguchi Securities at Umeki City, Nishi-ku, Yokohama.

Detailed, aren't you?

I go to pick Mr. Sekiguchi up whenever he comes here.

He's memo crazy.

Memo crazy?

By the way, wasn't it in Yokohama that...

Yes, my brother.

What is it, brother? At this time of night!

Toshimichi Sekiguchi? Yes, I know him.

I met him a few times when he was still a newcomer.

I remember him well because I didn't like him.

So what's with him?

He was found hanging from a rope at Kunitomo's residence.

What? He committed suicide?

He might have been murdered.

After that, it seems like someone also killed the owner of the residence.

Well, I met the guy when the company president's family

filed a missing person report.

Missing person report?

Yes. The president suddenly disappeared!

He still hasn't returned after 13 years.

13 years?

It was the end of September 13 years ago.

It was on mother's birthday.

Which means that 13 years ago on September 26th,

the president disappeared?

If I'm not mistaken, the ship sunk at Suruga Bay

13 years ago on September 29th.

3 days before...

And that Sekiguchi stepped in to take his place.

Inspector!

Let's go for a few drinks after work.

Okay, but let's split the bill!

Hey, why don't you treat him once in a while?

You're so stingy.

Call me an economical person! See you!

Stingy people living here must also have some peculiar habits or symptoms.

You all look tired so why don't all of you get some rest, Mr. Mouri?

Yes, I think we'll do that.

Hey, before you go to sleep,

let's check up on the people in their bedrooms.

Let's check if the habits and symptoms they were talking about

are real or not!

You want to know why I have belonephobia?

When I was a child, I took my mother's sewing box,

it fell and a needle poked onto my forehead.

That must have hurt.

Huh?

Is that why the calendar is stuck on the wall with tape?

Yes.

There are some marks on the calendar.

It's the birthdays of myself, my daughter, Mr. Akatsuka and Mr. Watabiki.

My husband, Mr. Watabiki's father, and Mr. Akatsugi's wife

who died in the ship accident were all classmates from grade school

and we always celebrated our birthdays together.

Before Mr. Watabiki's mother passed away, there were eight marks.

It has become half of that now.

If you want to know about my fear for heights,

you'd better ask Mr. Akatsuka and Mr. Watabiki.

You fell from a high place because of them?

It's the opposite!

When I was in 4th grade,

when I fell from a tree, Watabiki saved me from the fall.

And that time, the left hand...

Then you must have been hurt real bad?

No.

Actually, it was Watabiki who got hurt.

A year or two ago,

I had completely forgotten until I saw the scar on his hand.

He's obsessed with cleanliness and always wears gloves.

I always thought it was his younger brother that saved me.

The room is so clean.

Of course! Chefs are supposed to be clean.

I guess that's right.

Hey! Don't come into girl's room without permission!

Excuse me!

This is the scar from back then.

So what's the problem?

You wear gloves inside your room, too.

Yes. Except during bath time and when I had my fingerprints taken.

And I also take them off when I drive and write.

These are the gloves your younger brother used.

But my brother used them when he was a kid.

I don't see the older brother's gloves.

Unlike my younger brother, I am not a sportsman.

Really?

Huh?

Your calendar also has a lot of marks.

Yes.

I once forgot my master's business.

Ever since then, I write things down.

What? How did I became a perfectionist?

Do I need to have a reason?

You're absolutely right.

It seems like your tidiness is for real.

Everything in this room is straight and tidy.

I can't settle down until I do so.

Hey, is there someone who is just the opposite?

Not really sloppy, but...

Shigeko seems to be a little sloppy.

The way she piles the plates up is always three millimetres off.

Watabiki and Namika are always precise.

What's this?

Is this compass yours?

Yes, I like to hike to the mountains.

Hey, did you notice the letters engraved in Mr. Sekiguchi's watch?

What?

Right, wasn't it "E" and "N"?

But isn't it weird? If it's the same as this compass,

the position of the "N" and "E" was wrong, wasn't it?

I wonder why?

I don't know!

Well, we went around the four rooms.

We didn't find anything suspicious, did we?

This kid just took us for a ride!

Well, let's continue with the investigation after a little rest.

Yes, let's do that.

I wonder what it is. Something's not right.

I feel like I must've overlooked something.

It doesn't feel right. What is it?

Hey, Conan.

I bought you new pyjamas, do you want to wear it tonight?

It's a matching outfit with mine.

Huh?

Matching outfit?

I see. I must have overlooked this possibility.

If that is the truth, the factitive method of Sekiguchi's murder,

the method used to go through the fingerprint identification machine,

the mystery of the killer's disappearance from the third floor,

the reason why the master was surprised enough to have a fit,

this will explain it all!

-Well done. -Hey!

Mr. Kogoro asked to have the four people and the wife

to assemble on the third floor.

What? Does Mr. Mouri know who the culprit is?

Yes, I think so.

He said the culprit is still here,

so please don't let him escape.

That's great! He's going to start the deduction show!

Not right now, but in about three hours later.

What? Three hours later?

Yes, of course.

Only if Inspector Yokomizo listens and does what he says.

Yes, certainly.

What is it? It's so early in the morning.

Let me explain the truth of the two murders that took place here.

And that the culprit is among you.

First of all, the murder of Mr. Sekiguchi which is the first case.

But didn't you say that it was an outsiders doing?

Yes, that's right.

That's true.

Namika who is afraid of heights couldn't have hung anybody

on the third floor's veranda.

Shigeko who has belonephobia

would have avoided places where sharp points such as the iron fencing.

The words that were written on the card

that the culprit is thought to have slipped into Sekiguchi's pocket.

The lettering was slanted.

A tidy and perfectionist Akatsuka would not have done that.

At the time of the crime, Watabiki and the master's wife

who went to the hospital with the master,

could not have committed the crime.

Then who did it?

You're not really saying that someone among us is faking it, are you?

No. Namika's room is clean,

but the area around the window was not.

This proves that you are afraid of heights

because you cannot come close to the window.

Shigeko who has belonephobia uses tape to hang her calendar.

Even when we intruded Akatsuka's room unexpectedly,

the things in the room were tidy.

I think it is safe to say that no one is lying.

Let's investigate the second crime.

A person enters this bedroom on the third floor

by opening the door of the fingerprint identification machine

and slips through.

This person sets things up to cause the master to have a heart attack

that results in death

and disappears without leaving any traces of having run away.

The plausible explanation here

is the getaway rope tied to the veranda.

The culprit notices Conan climbing up the rope,

so the culprit withdrew from the room

and hide behind the fingerprint identification machine door.

And managed to blend in with us without anyone noticing it.

This is possible.

But wasn't that proven innocent

by the fingerprints on the medicine bottle and rope?

That is probably the fingerprints of the accomplice.

-Accomplice? -Accomplice?

Yes, there are two culprits!

Does that mean that someone amongst us brought someone suspicious with us?

But the master said that he wasn't planning on meeting anyone today.

After all,

we all looked in every room on the third floor and we didn't find anyone!

Well, no one suspicious turned up

and there was no trace of escape from the veranda nor the window.

Then where's the accomplice?

Yes, so...

I wanted to re-enact this with everyone

and that is why I asked you all to come here.

I might have overlooked something.

Okay, everyone!

We are going to search the rooms one by one.

Unlike then, I will enter the room last

in order to watch if anyone makes a suspicious move.

So would Watabiki play my role by entering first

and inspecting the window and veranda?

-Okay? -Sure!

So let's start with the library next to the bedroom.

And of course, if you see something or notice something,

please let me know!

You don't have to shout. I can hear you clearly.

I'm sorry. I shout whenever I get excited.

Mr. Watabiki, please go in.

Yes.

The window is locked.

No one's on the veranda.

May we also go in?

Yes, of course!

Do you think we'll find something out this way?

Yes.

Then, let's go to the next room.

Everyone, please hurry.

No one suspicious came to the hallway.

Thank you, Conan!

Darn it.

Nothing turned up!

So if we're done, I'd like to get back to work!

Stop babbling and answer my questions.

Are you really sure there was no one suspicious?

Was someone there or not? Which is it?

No one was there...

No, there was someone there in the room that you just searched.

I just told you that no one was there!

Yes, there is. There's one more person behind Inspector Yokomizo.

Twins...

Yes. He's my brother who works for the Kanagawa Prefectural Police.

Hi.

I'll be off then.

Don't tell my boss that I was in on this investigation.

Right. Thanks.

But why is twin the answer?

In other words, it's like this...

When we were searching the room, the culprit stayed in the back,

making sure to do so when entering and leaving the room.

He acted as though he was leaving the room

right before the one the accomplice was in,

but he stayed there in the room right before the accomplice was hiding.

When Inspector Yokomizo finished searching the window

and you guys were waiting in order to enter the room,

the accomplice that was hiding behind the door joined everyone.

If the accomplice is a twin wearing the same clothes,

switching places like Inspector Yokomizo did

no one would have noticed

nor would have been suspicious that somebody else was hiding.

But...

Where are they?

There are no twins here!

Right. When Shigeko mentioned the story about everyone's birthdays,

something bothered me.

20 years ago, there were Watabiki, his parents and his younger brother,

Shigeko and her husband and Namika as well as Akatsuka and his wife.

There were supposed to be a total of nine birthdays,

but she said there were only eight.

Which means someone had the same birthday.

After hearing Namika fell off a tree when she was in fourth grade,

I was convinced.

She could just vaguely remember who saved her at that age

is because there were two people that were alike.

In other words,

Watabiki, you conspired with your twin brother and committed this crime.

What are you talking about?

His brother died in that accident 13 years ago!

What if he didn't die in that accident?

What?

What if he swam to shore and survived?

To prove that, there is a scar on the palm of his left hand,

which he got when he saved Namika from her fall.

When he drove us here,

there was no scar on his left hand.

The mark at the head of the words on the calendar in his room

were different depending on the date.

They probably switched places once in a while,

noting everything down and by using the same organizer,

they could become one and the same person.

They did it in preparation for today.

In order to murder Mr. Sekiguchi and the master!

The younger brother took the two of them to the hospital

to establish an alibi.

After that, the older brother who was hiding in the mansion

enters the third floor by making Sekiguchi open the door.

He choked Sekiguchi and hung him from the veranda railing.

And after a few hours, he goes to the third floor again

and murdered the master.

But master said he wasn't going to meet anyone.

The master will meet him

especially if he was with the master when Sekiguchi was killed.

Since he would be the most unsuspicious person.

The master must have been surprised.

A man wearing the same clothes with the same face appears.

Furthermore, that is the same person who supposedly

was said to have died 13 years ago.

You deliberately left your younger brother's fingerprints

on the medicine bottle and rope

to make us believe it was of an unknown person is the culprit.

This is to exclude the people inside the premise

from the suspect list.

But where is the other one?

He didn't turn up in the search, right?

That is why I asked Mr. Watabiki to search the window

and gave you instructions in a loud voice.

So that the accomplice who is hiding on the third floor can hear.

I dropped him hints telling him that he'll be safe on the veranda!

The police has surrounded the premise!

Please bring him in.

That won't be necessary.

Brother.

-Then you will admit to the crimes? -Yes.

Wait a minute! If you're alive...

What about my father?

What about my wife?

They probably died

because they were abandoned by you-know-who.

What is it?

What happened 13 years ago?

Something suddenly went wrong with the ship while cruising,

so I dived to check it out.

Someone's bag was tangled in the screw and helm.

And inside it was somebody's hand.

A human hand?

It was most probably the hand of the missing former president

of Sekiguchi's company who disappeared 13 years ago.

He suddenly participated in the cruise to dump the body into the sea.

In other words, the fifth soul written on the first card

was referred to him.

Did you know that he was going to dump the dead body?

No, I didn't know!

When I told everyone on the ship,

Sekiguchi suddenly shoved father away and speed the ship up.

Speeding without having control of the helm,

the ship turned over and everyone was tossed into the sea.

Only the master and his wife escaped

with the only rubber raft that had air in it.

No! I was going to return to call for help.

But Sekiguchi...

They won't survive anyway!

Just keep quiet about this,

both of you are also an accomplice and abandoned them!

That's what he told me.

We were all holding on to a small float,

but thought that we would all die like this.

So the person with the most physical strength, me,

went to call for help.

But I felt consciousness slipping away.

When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed

and I lost my memory.

I sneaked out of the hospital and wandered around.

Then in summer two years ago,

I coincidently met my brother

and at the same time, my memory came back to me.

I met my brother on the day

after I almost had a car accident with the master's car.

The accident was my fault,

but master was the one who kept on apologizing,

so I thought it a little weird.

That night, when I heard my brother's tale, I understood why.

Then the master's nightmare and the car accident

on the 4th of Butsumetsu was a coincidence?

Yes.

That's where we got the idea of taking revenge.

There was no evidence left for the police anyway.

But if we can find the sunken ship...

That's impossible!

It actually sank within the Suruga Bay,

but he told the police it sank way out at sea.

34 degrees north latitude 45 minutes,

138 degrees east longitude 30 minutes.

Don't you guys remember? The "N" and "E" engraved on Mr. Sekiguchi's watch.

"N" is north latitude 45 minutes,

"E" is east longitude 30 minutes!

If it's within Suruga Bay,

then it's approximately 34 degrees north latitude

and 138 degrees east longitude.

That's probably where the ship sank.

So that's what it means.

But why on the 4th, the unlucky day?

The ship accident was on September 29, a lucky day.

That's because 13 years ago this day,

October 4th was Butsumetsu.

It was when the master went to the police

to ask them to stop the investigation.

After that, although the tide drifted it a little,

the ship was somehow found

with the bag in question still tangled in the screw.

Talking about a problem,

ever since that day, there's a problem that's been on my mind.

Hey, Conan!

Let's at least wear it once and take a picture!

It's cute!

A junior in high school wearing stuffed animal pyjamas.

What's more, it's a panda.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Nameplate"

In the next episode, those two who we haven't seen in a while...

-Those two? -The surprise is for next week!
