Victory, sincerity, charging for the truth.

Endless impulse to aim for the best!

The locked door mystery of a car

that is sealed tightly with masking tape from the inside,

won't even let a tangled love affair through.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

After the battle with the Black Organization,

we are leading a peaceful everyday life.

Then, a new student who looks just like Kir

of the Black Organization comes to Ran's class.

His name is Eisuke Hondo.

Well, he turns out to be a great fan of Pops

and an ordinary high school klutz.

Just then, a client comes in asking Pops to look for a runaway girl.

And?

Did you two really meet on this freezing mountain?

On the other side of that tree!

That's my car!

Ami? Ami?

The door is sealed tight from the inside of the car with masking tape.

There is a portable charcoal stove by the passenger's seat

with burned remains of solid fuel.

In other words, this is carbon monoxide poisoning,

that was carried out by burning solid fuel in a sealed car.

There's no doubt that she committed suicide.

No.

This is cleverly schemed homicide that was set up to look as suicide.

Moreover, the culprit is probably...

that man.

"The Point of No Return (Part 2)"

So it's suicide.

I guess it can't be helped then.

We will have you come in for interrogation at a later date,

so we'll call it a...

Hey, are you all right?

Yeah, I just tripped over uneven ground.

What is this hollow part?

From the size of it,

looks like a car was parked here.

Strange. I wonder who parked here?

It looks to be just about the size the rental car

of the man with the mustache that we drove here in.

By the way, when did you borrow the rental car?

From last night.

After the fight last night,

she said she needed to use the car very badly today,

so I rushed to rent a car

because I needed to use the car today, too.

I had no idea that she was going to use the car

for something like this though.

You must be a super scatterbrain, sir.

If you knew that she was going to take the car,

why did you leave your important company papers inside?

I was thinking of taking it out in the morning.

What is it? The important papers of the company?

Some documents that he has to submit to the company tomorrow.

He hired me to find his girlfriend who disappeared

because he needed those papers back.

But did you find them?

No. I was more concerned about her, so...

Now that you mentioned it, the documents...

Excuse me, did you find any documents in the car?

Yeah, there was an envelope in the backseat of the car.

Yes. That's it, that's it.

So you found it. I'm glad.

Come to think of it,

a bag that is thought to be the woman's was also in the car.

This was in her bag, too.

This is a cigarette lighter.

Why would something like that be in her bag?

Who knows?

We can tell that she put it in her bag today,

because there was a burnt trace of the cigarette lighter

on the novel that went on sale today inside her bag, too.

But for some reason,

there are no fingerprints whatsoever on that novel.

This is getting weirder by the minute.

She hated cigarettes

and used to always hide it to keep me, who is a heavy smoker

from smoking in the car.

Maybe she just did it out of habit.

You're a heavy smoker?

Yes.

May I go take a puff in the rented car?

I was refraining from smoking because of the circumstances.

Yeah.

Cigarettes.

Wait a second.

Maybe...

Hey!

Just as I thought.

The killer is Mr. Misumi. There's no doubt about it.

Hey.

All I need to figure out now is the trick.

It hurts...

Are you all right, Eisuke?

See.

The first one to slip and fall at times like this is me.

Hey, your finger is bleeding!

It's probably from a shard that came from the front glass.

Wait. I have a bandage.

Show me your finger.

Okay.

It'll heal right away if you put spit on it!

But I think bandage should be used, just in case.

Put it on yourself.

Bandage is really something, isn't it?

Why?

It helps the wound that is cut open close up in an instant.

Look. It's like there was never a wound to begin with.

Wait a second.

Don't tell me that the masking tape...

Forensic officer.

Not you again.

I seemed to have forgotten something in the car

when I went in a while ago.

May I go get it?

Hey, kid!

I see.

So that's the story.

Suicide.

It was suicide.

But...

The car that Ami was in

was sealed tightly from the inside with masking tape.

And on the floor of the passenger's seat

were the burnt remains of solid fuel inside a portable charcoal stove.

That's why a deduction show by the Sleeping Kogoro

is not necessary in this case!

I guess so.

Too bad.

What do you mean?

You should be glad that this wasn't a homicide.

But everyone at the station is looking forward

to watch the video of the Sleeping Kogoro!

Can't anything be done about it?

What do you mean by that?

Pops!

What is it?

I noticed something,

so will you come with me for a second?

What is it?

Pops! The door of this car.

Don't you think it's strange?

Not really.

The masking tape is cut, that's all.

Is something the matter?

That all absorbing attitude as if to despise everyone is indeed

the Sleeping Kogoro!

"As if to despise everyone" is a needless remark.

But you're posing like that means...

You are...

Yeah.

I'm going to show you the deduction of the Sleeping Kogoro right now.

-All right! -All right!

But before that,

bring the most important person involved in this case,

Misumi, the boyfriend of the victim here.

What? Detective Mouri's deduction show?

Ridiculous.

Ami committed suicide, didn't she?

What on earth is he going to deduce?

I agree with you.

I've got a whole lot to deduce.

After all, this is a homicide made to look like a suicide.

Homicide?

What?

Yeah. Moreover, the killer

is the one who cracked the glass and went into the car to rescue Ami.

He cut the masking tape off and opened the car up.

Mr. Atsushi Misumi,

I'm talking about you!

Is that so?

What an unexpected deduction!

Look. That's the Sleeping Kogoro.

He's just looking down and talking

and there's no God descended on him, is there?

Yes, but...

Doesn't it bother you?

What?

Next to Mr. Mouri...

That boy who is behind the car.

Oh, you mean Conan?

He often helps dad out during his deduction,

so he's probably standing by.

Please stop kidding, Mr. Mouri.

But I'm the very one who asked you to look for her, you know?

Then why would I...

Because you had your reasons for needing to do so.

You had to in order to make it look like she sealed herself in the car.

To make it look like?

With all due respect, Mr. Mouri,

I think that this car was sealed from the inside.

Even the forensic officers said that the masking tape

was sealed on tightly that it was difficult to tear them off.

That's definitely true.

But that only goes for the masking tape on the driver's seat side.

Nobody even thought that a slit had been made to begin with

in the masking tape on the passenger's seat side.

What the...

But you were watching him cut the masking tape of the door

with a cutter knife, weren't you?

Yeah, I was.

I saw him undo the tape on the door by pressing on it,

and very skilfully cut the tape by pressing down on the tape.

Tape that was very lightly sealed?

First, Mr. Misumi brings his girlfriend here with his car.

On his way here, he put her to sleep

with the sleeping drug that was inserted in the canned coffee.

Then, he carried her up and made her sit on the driver's seat

and seals all the doors of the car with masking tape from the inside.

Then he cuts the masking tape on the passenger's seat side

following the line that joins the body of the car and the door.

He opens the door and seals vertically cut masking tape

over the masking tape on the body of the car.

He then burns solid fuel in the portable charcoal stove

that is placed under the passenger's seat,

goes out and closes the door to complete his task.

He finally goes to the car that he had brought here beforehand

and leaves here for a while.

He brings someone here so that they can see

that the masking tape on the driver's seat side is sealed on tightly.

After that, he cracks the windshield and goes into the car

to cut the lightly sealed masking tape

by pressing it along with his hand.

The locked room homicide is completed.

I see!

If you want to save someone on the driver's seat side,

it's most natural to try and open the door on the driver's seat side.

Even from the driver's side,

you could see that there was tape on each side of the door.

If the masking tape is cut by pressing down on it,

it will adhere

and even if it is checked later,

it would go unnoticed that only the tape there was sealed on lightly.

Yeah.

Please take a look at the cut part of the masking tape

that is sealed onto the passenger's seat side.

The cut part?

The cut part of the masking tape sealed horizontally and vertically

is out of place, isn't it?

After cutting the horizontally sealed masking tape once,

another masking tape was vertically sealed on over it.

That's evidence that he cut it twice.

That's true.

Which means that the driver's seat was pulled back

and the crease in the top of her clothes were...

Yeah, it proves that Mr. Misumi is the one who drove here

and moved her over to the driver's seat.

Please wait a minute.

All I was trying to do

was get my girlfriend out of the car as soon as possible.

How offending that my actions would be interpreted that way.

You don't even have proof that I did it either.

Proof?

There is a very concrete proof.

The ashtray inside the car.

Huh?

Remember that cigarette lighter in her bag?

It was not only to keep Mr. Misumi from smoking inside this car,

but also to keep something else from his view until she got off the car.

That is, the message of farewell

that she hid in the ashtray.

Let's see.

"I guess you want to take me to the place where we first met

to get back how we felt for each other before,

but I've changed.

I'm sorry.

Ami."

Which means that she's the one who changed.

And you're the one who brought her to the place you both first met.

If the one who wrote this is the victim,

this would serve as proof.

It's a trap! This is a trap that Ami set up!

She made it look like I killed her and committed suicide!

Even for the slit in the masking tape,

if she assumed that I would use the cutter knife,

she could've put it into the dashboard beforehand.

And as for that message, she could've written it to frame me.

The message is not proof.

The point is the book cover with the message written on it.

As you can see,

that is a paper cover that the bookshop covers the book with.

It was probably from the book that was released today

that was found inside her bag.

No fingerprints were found on that book because you wiped them off.

You did this because your fingerprints

would be on it after giving it to her.

However, it seems you absentmindedly forgot and didn't wipe everything off.

That is, the fingerprints on the book cover that she wrote the message on

and secretly hid in the ashtray.

Now, I'd like to ask you.

If you woke up this morning

and found that she had left along with the car,

how can there be your fingerprints

on the book cover that was released today?

But you can't tell if the cover came from that book that was in her bag.

Books are all different sizes, even if they belong to the same series.

A cover that matches the exact size is very rare.

If you want, shall we go together to the book store,

which address is written on the cover?

I'm sure they'll testify

that the man who bought the book this morning had bloodshot eyes,

haunted by the crime he was planning to commit.

In other words, you.

Bloodshot eyes?

Wrong, Mr. Detective.

I must've looked sad and wretched.

Because I figured that it was the last wish from the woman I loved.

So you did get the novel that she asked you for.

Yes.

Just as you expect, my fingerprints are on the book cover.

I've always done as she asked.

Yes, I granted her every wish just as she wanted me to.

If she told me she wanted to go on a trip,

I would take time off from work and take her.

If she told me she wanted to see a popular concert,

I would stand in line all night and get her a premier ticket.

The same with this car.

She said that she wanted to drive it,

so I bought it despite having to borrow money.

Yes. I felt as if I were her prince.

But I finally realized that I had made a mistake.

She didn't consider me her prince.

I was no more than a servant to her.

A servant?

I found a cigarette in the car.

It was a brand that I don't use.

She never let me smoke one cigarette when I rode with her.

Don't tell me that she was cheating on you?

Yes.

When I pressed her for an answer,

she confessed that she used to often go driving with that guy in this car.

She even laughed about it!

I felt really stupid

thinking that I kept paying back the loan for the car

for a guy I didn't even know.

Is that why you committed the crime?

Yes.

But please believe me!

Officer, I really loved her!

I didn't come here just to commit the crime!

It was for her as well.

I was full of regret.

I wished that she were still alive.

That's why I cracked the windshield with the metal bat with all my might.

Okay, that's enough.

I don't know what went on between you and her,

but one thing for sure is that, the "love" between you both was gone.

What?

If you really wanted to save her,

you would've intuitively carefully cracked the rear window

or the side window on the passenger's seat side from behind.

But you broke through the front window,

because you knew that the glass shards would cut her.

You already knew that she was dead.

You wanted to crush everything, didn't you?

The memories together with her along with this car.

Well, just as expected of the Sleeping Kogoro!

The great deduction that echoed throughout the snowy mountains of Gunma!

I'm going back to the station and watch the video right away.

Suit yourself.

I don't remember a thing.

This is how I land up after all.

What?

Only the first part is taken.

I see!

I was shooting the film using pause to save tape.

So he forgot to turn pause off.

Mr. Mouri, why don't we go back for a retake?

What an idiot.

But this case was solved thanks to Eisuke.

Because you mentioned about the bandage.

Then, Conan noticed that the masking tape on the car was strange

and went to tell dad about it, right?

Sort of.

You were outdone in your own forte, weren't you?

Huh?

In his own forte?

It's usually this boy's role.

He mentions something that seemingly has nothing to do with the case,

but it coincidentally turns out to be the key to solving the case.

Don't tell me...

He does?

Don't tell me...

Don't tell me that he...

Well, if you want to see the Sleeping Kogoro again,

you can come over anytime you like.

Really?

I did it!

Ouch...

I guess not.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Rare card"

Give me that card, Mitsuhiko.

-No way. -I want it, too!

Here you go.
