"Good Work, Coeur"

You lose again, Coeur.

Musashi, you've got to learn to let girls win once in a while.

They're cute.

-They play fetch and everything, too? -Yes.

"Eisuke Tsutsumi (35)" -Golden Retrievers and Irish Setters

are originally improved breeds of hunting dogs

that were made to accompany hunters who shoot down birds.

"Hiroshi Yanagisawa (34)" -That's why they're good

at searching for and retrieving prey.

"Manami Yanagisawa (30)" -They usually play in the yard of the Tsutsumi's,

but we came since we heard that a dog-run was built in Beika Park.

"Misato Tsutsumi (33)" -It's our first time here,

but it's more spacious than we thought it would be.

Musashi and Coeur are delighted, too.

You're right.

It's spacious and feels great.

Are you the Tsutsumi couple with the big house in 4-chome?

Yes.

He's the president of a company that lives in that big house.

We just happened to get to know each other when we met walking the dog.

That was five months ago.

Musashi and Coeur are childhood friends.

Is that right?

Childhood friends.

I wonder where my "Musashi" is wandering around.

Hey, when did I become a dog?

Coeur, what are you eating?

She's always doing things like that.

Musashi does, too.

He eats grass, leaves, and even soil.

When we brushed his teeth some time ago, we found clay on his teeth.

Yes.

You mean dogs brush teeth, too?

Yes, after every meal.

After every meal?

They're even better than Pops.

Coeur! Musashi!

Okay, go for another run!

"Musashi (2)"

"Coeur (2)"

It was really fun, wasn't it?

Next time, we should take dad with us too, right?

But Pops prefers horse, doesn't he?

That's true. The ones wearing number bibs.

Yeah!

Hey, be quiet!

We have a guest.

I'm sorry.

The dog next door.

What was its name?

"Yoriko Nakatani (41)" -Musashi.

An Irish Setter named Musashi.

Musashi?

That dog Musashi barks and growls when he sees you?

Yes. He is a very big dog.

I can't help being afraid thinking

that I may be attacked by him one of these days.

Please help me, Mr. Mouri.

I'd like to help you if I could.

I moved into the house together with my husband who works in an office

at about the same time that the couple living next door did.

Both houses were originally owned by the same person.

The owner's parents used to live in the house that I live in now.

The only thing that separates our house with theirs

is a yard with a low hedge.

That's why even when I'm out in the yard,

I can't help thinking that Musashi's going to jump over the hedge

one of these days and attack me.

Then why don't you change that low hedge to a high fence?

I'd like to!

But my husband says he likes it the way it is now.

Even my mother-in-law who doesn't live with us says so.

Musashi is the dog owned by the Tsutsumi couple, right?

What? Do you know him?

Yes, just a bit.

It's true that Musashi is a big dog,

but he's very friendly

and I don't think he would ever bark or growl at people for no reason

much less, attack people.

Maybe you did something to Musashi that he didn't want you to do?

I didn't do anything!

How rude.

Never mind. I won't ask for your help anymore!

If anything ever happens to me,

Mr. Mouri, it's all your fault!

Huh? Well...

Look at what you did.

I'm sorry,

but Musashi would never do something like that, right?

Yeah.

But a little while afterwards, something terrible happens.

Are you all right?

Yes. I'll go inside the house.

Yeah.

What was that?

Dear, it's Musashi!

Yeah.

Stay away! Stay away!

Dear, it's the woman next door!

Musashi! Stop it, Musashi!

Are you all right, Mrs. Nakatani?

My mother-in-law...

It can't be...

Dear!

Yeah.

This is Mouri.

What did you just say? Musashi did?

Okay.

Yes, right away.

What about Musashi, dad?

He seems to have attacked Mrs. Nakatani's mother-in-law

and killed her.

What?

All done.

How many days will it take until I'll be able to walk?

Well...

Since you sprained in pretty badly,

I think it'll take at least four or five days.

Four or five days...

Take care.

Thank you.

Okay, please give me the details.

Yes. Yesterday at sundown,

my mother-in-law came over while my husband was out.

When I served my mother-in-law coffee,

I mistakenly spilled the coffee on her clothes,

so I had her wear my cardigan.

After that, I remembered that I hadn't taken in the laundry yet,

so I went to get them.

But I was careless and ended up

dropping one of my husband's shirts in the yard next door.

Unfortunately, the people next door seemed to be out.

Even if I wanted to go get it myself,

I was afraid of Musashi that I couldn't go.

Then my mother-in-law offered to go pick it up for me.

I stopped her saying that it's dangerous,

but she said she'd be fine because she knew him since he was a puppy.

Musashi,

you're such a good boy.

Mother!

Mother!

Stay away! Stay away!

Just then, Tsutsumi came to my rescue.

Yes.

We were supposed to come home late tonight because of a party,

but my wife didn't feel too well,

so we ended up coming home earlier than expected.

But thanks to that, I've been saved.

May I ask you something?

Why do you have that cane?

This is a spare cane that I bought for my mother-in-law

who always uses a cane.

What about those firecrackers?

I usually have them on me just in case Musashi attacks.

I heard that dogs don't like the sound of firecrackers.

I'll take those.

Inspector, my mother-in-law was wearing my cardigan

and was mistakenly attacked in my place!

That's why I went to seek help from you back then!

But even so...

Kinue was attacked here.

Yoriko fell

just about there.

Blood.

Yoriko wasn't hurt to the point where she was bleeding.

Which means that this is Kinue's blood?

But why in a place like this?

The results of the autopsy

shows that Mrs. Kinue Nakatani died of shock from excessive bleeding.

She died of shock.

The teeth marks found on her throat matched those of Musashi, too.

Musashi's saliva was also detected from the wound.

Why did Musashi attack Kinue?

He mistook her for Yoriko

because Kinue was wearing Yoriko's cardigan.

She said so yesterday, didn't she?

The dog's sense of smell, although it depends of what kind,

is said to be a billion times keener than that of humans.

So to tell the smell of Yoriko from the cardigan is...

If so, he would've also smelled Kinue, right?

If his sense of smell is so keen.

Right.

He may have been confused by the smell,

but it's unthinkable to think

that he would completely mistake Kinue for Yoriko.

Besides, why did Musashi suddenly bite at Kinue's throat?

He would usually most likely bite the hands or the feet, right?

And the blood is strange, too.

The blood?

There were a few drops of blood

from where Yoriko was on the ground towards the hedge.

The forensic officers have verified that the blood was Kinue's.

It's most likely that when Yoriko tried to carry Kinue up,

blood dripped on her hand

and when she shook the cane with her blood stained hand, it splattered.

But then, isn't it weird that none of that blood came off near Musashi?

Now that he mentioned it, that's true.

It's just all child talk of this brat.

Don't let him confuse you.

Hey, aren't there other points that concern you?

Yeah, right.

First of all, we've found out that Yoriko and Kinue

are usually on bad terms with each other.

The one who testified is Yoriko's sister-in-law.

She explained that the reason for this is despite being 40 years old,

Yoriko's husband is still very dependent on his mother.

It seems that the shirt Yoriko dropped

was something that Kinue had bought for him.

So that's why Kinue went to get it herself.

Secondly, we found out that Kinue had a weak heart.

Her heart was weak?

Thirdly, the Tsutsumi couple living next door told us

that when they first moved here, Yoriko was very nice and friendly,

they can't remember when,

but she stopped talking to them even if she saw them.

Musashi himself used to like Yoriko at the start.

But from some time ago,

he began barking whenever he sensed Yoriko's presence.

By the way, it seems that Yoriko used to be an art teacher

at a junior high school.

The couple has no children.

But no matter how we look at it,

the circumstances point at Musashi having done it.

No way!

Conan, it isn't Musashi, is it?

Speaking of dogs attacking people,

remember John's case some time ago?

Listen, it's from your master.

The owner of the dog form a combination of certain words,

trained his dog to attack people.

However, in this case,

it's hard to believe that the Tsutsumi couple or Yoriko,

trained Musashi to attack people.

I got it! I've figured it out, Inspector Megure!

This is a thoroughly planned case of homicide!

Homicide?

The murderer is none other than Yoriko Nakatani.

She must've been looking for an opportunity to kill her mother-in-law

since she had been on bad terms with all this time.

Moreover, she hated the Tsutsumi couple as well as their pet dog, Musashi.

The couple, too?

The reason is most likely envy,

even though the couple is much younger than her and her husband,

they'd succeeded in business, have a spacious yard and a large house.

I see.

So she thought up a way to kill Kinue.

First, she buys the same kind of cane that Kinue usually uses.

And while the Tsutsumi couple are out,

she probably poked Musashi through the hedge or something

and implanted enmity for her within him.

And when she did so, she also popped firecrackers and scared him.

Last night, after making sure that the Tsutsumi couple were out,

she called her mother-in-law, deliberately spilled coffee on her,

as an excuse to make Kinue wear the cardigan that had her smell on.

And for some reason, she decides to take in the laundry at night,

drops her husband's favourite shirt

and make it so that Kinue goes out to get it.

Musashi realizes that Kinue had entered his territory

and sees the cane that he hates.

On top of that, he smells someone that he hates,

so he must've growled threatening them not to come any closer.

Then Yoriko came up from behind.

Yoriko took advantage of the sense of sight, smell and sound of the dog

to commit a cleverly schemed and daring crime.

Kinue who had a weak heart, could've had a heart attack,

just by being frightened at Musashi attacking her.

But Musashi bit her in the throat,

causing excessive bleeding causing death by shock.

It turned out better than you expected.

Is it true, Yoriko?

Famed detective, my foot.

I hope you have proof for saying all you did.

I will show you proof now.

But before that, could you please lend me the clothes you're wearing now?

That cane, too.

Listen.

Pull the leash and stop Musashi

the instant Officer Sato pops the firecracker

and when he's about to pounce onto her.

Yes, sir. I understand.

Officer Takagi, I'll leave it to you.

Officer Sato, even if I have to risk my own life, I will.

If Musashi gets excited at the sound of the firecracker,

then he's the one that did it.

Or it could be that...

Okay! Let him go!

Okay, come.

Good boy, good boy.

It can't be!

See? It's just as I said, isn't it?

I see.

I heard about the case on the news and was worried.

Is Musashi still at the police station?

Yes. Kinue trespassed on private property,

so I don't think the Tsutsumi couple or Musashi will be held responsible.

I'll have to gather more info to get to the truth.

Why don't we go to the Tsutsumi's residence from now?

Okay. Sounds good.

Huh? You're going to move?

Yeah.

Although we won't be punished by law,

the fact that Musashi attacked Kinue and killed her will not disappear.

We can't live here anymore.

Is that so?

What did you find this time?

What's this?

That's...

Musashi's toothbrush.

Toothbrush?

When we brushed his teeth some time ago, we found clay on his teeth.

By the way, it seems that Yoriko used to be an art teacher

at a junior high school.

Don't tell me that...

Clay. If so...

Our deduction that you lured Musashi into attacking Kinue was wrong.

Musashi didn't do anything.

You're the one who killed Kinue.

Just what do you mean by "I'm the one", Inspector Megure?

You made Musashi bite clay and took the mold of his teeth

and made a mold of his teeth using plaster.

You used the experience you had when you used to be an art teacher.

That night, you pushed Kinue who went out to the yard next door

to pick up the shirt that you deliberately dropped.

Musashi was severely agitated by the violence he'd witnessed

and began to bark loudly.

You made Musashi pull away using the firecrackers

and meant to go back into the house during that time,

but you sprained your ankle.

After that, you told the Tsutsumi couple that Kinue was attacked.

And while the Tsutsumi couple

were distracted with their attention on Kinue,

you threw the mold of Musashi's teeth towards the yard of your house.

This teeth mold made of plaster solved everything.

Conan is the one who found it.

That's not true.

Coeur's the one who found it.

Musashi's saliva was on Kinue's wound

because dogs have a habit of licking themselves and others of their pack

in order to heal the wound, right?

She took advantage of this.

Do you have anything to say to it?

That woman...

She used to look next door and always sigh and say each time she came here,

that one should choose a bride carefully.

Just because of something like that?

Yes, just something like that!

Since you forever clung to your mother despite your age,

you would probably never understand!

If only I didn't sprain my leg...

Your leg will heal in time!

But before that,

I think you have something that you should fix, isn't there?

Hey, I've been wondering from before.

The name Coeur doesn't sound too feminine.

Could it be that it's not English?

Yes. It's Coeur in French.

I had no idea.

It means "heart" in French.

Heart.

I'm sure she had the heart of wanting to save her childhood friend.

I wonder if my Musashi feels that way about me?

I'm sure he does.

Nope, he doesn't.

Because when there's a case, his heart's nowhere near here.

You've got me there.

Conan, did you say something?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Hay fever"

Officer Sato, do you have hay fever?

Yes.

Then, so do I.
