Original subtitles

Even a gigantic wall that seems to block the path.

Turns out to be a large door if viewed from a different angle.

The Youth Detective Squad goes clam digging.

The "younger brother" (Yokomizo) makes his appearance!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Not yet?

Just a little bit more.

That's why we should've left the house earlier!

It can't be helped because the roads were jammed with traffic.

We did it!

Finished!

How about it, Doc? Don't you think it's really something?

Wow!

What a magnificent sand castle!

Yes! I think we did a good job.

I worked on it too!

Although I didn't do much, I helped too!

I see. You all cooperated.

Hey, you guys.

I thought we came here to dig clams?

Come on, you guys!

But...

To be honest, I'm bored!

No matter how much I dig, all I get is sand, sand, sand!

Well, no big deal.

No need to get desperate looking for clams here

because there doesn't seem to be many here.

Oh?

I don't think so.

Wow! There are so many clams!

A lot.

There are at least 20 to 30 of them.

I hope you didn't go buy them at the fish shop.

There are a lot of guys like you around.

Idiot!

Why would I do something like that?

You need technique, a knack for digging them!

A knack for it?

Tell me how, then.

Listen, scrape the water's edge with the rake and make the sand soft.

Then, after a while when the waves come...

See?

Clams that are lighter than sand come floating.

Wow!

You're pretty good, Conan!

Where did you learn something like that?

It's like magic!

Which means that you can find clams only at the water's edge?

No, that's not it.

When clams stick out their siphons,

the clams make little holes called "eye of the clam".

Moreover, clams are most times huddled together, so...

Where there are a lot of those holes...

If you dig gently about 10 to 15cm below

without hurting the shell of the clams...

See?

There are quite a lot of them!

"Clam Digging-Sigh (Part 1)"

See? Huh?

Where'd they...

If you're wondering where they are...

They're over there.

Wow, super! They're coming out one after the other!

Talk about great catch! Genta!

I found the "eye of the clam"!

If we had a bigger rake, we could probably pick enough to sell.

We could open a fish shop!

We could make big cash! Good idea!

Yes!

No!

It's manners to use a rake that is within 15cm in width

and only up to about 2kg per person.

I mean they're short-necked clams, so it's better to be "short"!

But, is everybody following the rule?

The important thing is that each one of us keep that in mind!

Do you understand?

Genta, you wouldn't like it either if too many eels are caught

and wouldn't be able to eat eels over rice anymore, would you?

That would be a problem!

I don't ever want that to happen!

Genta.

See, nobody else is in a rush to take a whole lot for himself, right?

The real purpose of clam digging

is to enjoy looking for the shells that are buried under the sand.

I see!

Yes! I understand, yes!

It seems that there are people who aren't enjoying themselves here too.

See.

I'll bet he can't find any clams.

Should we tell him how to look for clams?

Yeah!

Hey, hey!

Do you know about the "eye of the clam"?

Yeah.

If you dig below that hole...

There'll be a lot of clams.

"Tsuguo Ushigome (21)" -I dug up a lot of clams already.

"College Student" -See.

Then what are you sighing for?

Why, why?

I've got a lot of things on my mind.

Hey, Ushigome!

We bought lunches.

And snacks too!

Who're these kids?

Do you know them?

I just happened to meet them now.

Who're you guys?

We're...

Members of the same university circle, called...

Aiko-kai!

So, what are you all devotees of?

All four of you are wearing matching parkers.

Are you guys planning to be comedians?

No, it's written on the back of the parker, isn't it?

"Clam Devotees Club!"

Clam Devotees Club?

In others words, we love to dig for and eat clams.

All four of us!

Well, this parker was made only today,

and this is the first time we're wearing it!

I see, the name of their club

uses a play on words with the word clam.

Well, let's start eating, Ushigome!

Yeah, let's do that.

See!

I bought your favorite, Ushigome.

Hey, Ushigome!

Huh?

Green tea!

Here!

Oh, thanks.

Well...

This one?

A salmon, codfish roe and pickled apricot rice ball!

Thank you!

And...

Potato chips as a snack.

Here you go!

Oh, thank you, thank you!

And? How're you doing digging clams?

Oh, I got quite a lot!

Wow, fantastic!

Let me see.

Just as expected of you, Ushigome!

I'm getting kind of hungry.

Here he goes again!

We already ate a while ago, Genta.

Let's go to the convenience store then.

Shall we go get some snacks?

Yes! I'll go buy some then!

Mitsuhiko,

I'll bet you're planning to buy Yaiba chocolate in secret.

Come on, Genta...

I'll go too!

Here.

Then, why don't all three of you go together?

Don't buy too many things you don't need now!

Okay?

And, be careful of cars!

Okay!

There seems to have been a hit-and-run accident near here the other day.

So, be really careful!

Okay!

Yes, sir!

I wonder if they'll be okay.

Shall we start heading home?

I guess so.

We got a lot of clams too.

Let's have a clam party and Ushigome's house!

Okay then, Ushigome.

We'll clean this place up

so will you load the clams and make them spit out the sand?

Hey, Ushigome?

Oh, that's right!

I found this restaurant that serves good clam dishes the other day.

So why don't we all go there?

Oh, sounds great!

Let's go! Let's go!

Then let's have a drink at that restaurant tonight.

And spend the night at Ushigome's house.

We can put the clams that we got today in miso soup,

for breakfast tomorrow.

Right? What do you think?

Ushigome?

Ushigome?

Yeah.

Let's do that.

Is something wrong with him?

He seems a little depressed.

-Not really. -It's nothing much.

Clean up time, clean up time.

Right.

So...

Make sure you separate the trash.

Yes, yes.

This bag is for the plastic bottles.

Say...

Yes?

Just a while ago...

There seemed to be a change in atmosphere.

Yeah.

Yaiba chocolates.

Yaiba gummies.

And, Yaiba snacks!

What's this?

They're all snacks that involve freebies for Masked Yaiba.

So what?

Genta insisted, so...

No fair, Mitsuhiko!

But, they're all good.

By the way, the four people who were here a while ago...

did they go home?

Yeah. Just a while ago.

They cleaned up all their trash nicely and left.

They're pretty well-mannered for young people nowadays!

No.

It seems they forgot something important.

-The rake? -But, how do you know it's theirs?

There is no name on it.

See, there's a brand new blackish stain on the wooden handle.

This is probably a bloodstain.

Blood?

I see.

The man that sighed.

When we first met him, he had his index finger in his mouth.

He may have cut his finger

when he was trying to dig out a clam or something.

You want to say that the handle of the rake go stained then, right?

Well, sort of.

Then, they could be looking for it now.

Hey, Doc! When did the four leave?

Like I said, just a while ago!

They might still be at the parking lot then!

Let's take it to them then!

Yeah.

Let's all go.

Yeah!

Give it to me, Conan!

Hey! It may have been just a while ago, but it was 4 or 5 minutes ago.

I'm sure they already left!

The parking lot is huge.

I'm sure they're still here!

Where are they? Where?

There they are!

There!

You forgot something.

Hey!

Clam digging?

Which means that...

After finishing digging clams,

while you three were cleaning up the trash, he...

Mr. Ushigome, came back to the car before all of you

with the buckets of clams that you took.

And when you all came back to the car, you found him like this.

Yes, that's right.

The mouth of the victim smells of almond

and judging from this bottle of green tea

that was found on the ground beside him...

It seems that Mr. Ushigome died of poisoning by cyanic acid

that was mixed into his green tea.

Which means...

Just as I thought...

Is it suicide?

Oh! What do you mean by just as I thought?

Do you have something in mind?

It's not that.

He seems to have been troubled over something lately.

He wasn't all that cheerful.

I don't know what he was troubled over though.

Shoko, do you have any idea?

No, I don't.

But, judging from the way he was acting...

Suicide is possible.

I guess so.

Or taking advantage of Mr. Ushigome acting as he was,

someone poisoned his green tea.

Someone among you inserted poison.

It's one or the other!

What are you insinuating?

We didn't do such a thing.

And?

Who's the one that bought this tea?

All three of us bought it at the convenience store.

He said that he hadn't eaten anything for breakfast so...

We bought rice balls and snacks along with it too.

Then, did Mr. Ushigome take the green tea out of the plastic bag himself?

-No. -Huh?

I handed it over to him.

But, he looked just fine for a while and was gulping down the tea.

What about that?

Did anybody touch the PET bottle while he was drinking from it?

The only time we touched it is when we bought it.

Ushigome had it with him right through.

I don't think anybody touched it.

All I did was throw the rice balls at him and give it to him.

A salmon, codfish roe and pickled apricot rice ball!

Thank you!

I opened a bag of potato chips and put it near him.

But, didn't touch the green tea even once.

Here! For you!

Oh, thanks!

But somebody could've done something in a really short span of time.

Oh, no.

They're telling the truth!

I was watching all the time.

After Mr. Ushigome opened the bottle,

nobody besides Mr. Ushigome touched it!

Brat. You're the one that's with Smokey Kogoro all the time.

Smokey? It's Sleeping!

Then, don't tell me that the detective with the flimsy mustache

is also here?

-Where is he? -He's not here!

Really?

But, my friends are here with me today!

Conan!

I brought Doc!

Please tell him too, Doc,

that Mr. Ushigome was holding his bottle of green tea all the while.

Oh, okay.

He didn't give the bottle of tea to anyone while he was drinking it.

Are you sure you were watching closely?

I'm sure.

I met him together with the children

for the first time today at the beach.

But, since he was sighing all the while, I was a bit worried.

Sighing?

Inspector!

This bottle was found by the feet of the body!

Is that so?

Let me see.

Not pills but powder seems to have been inside.

There seems have cyanic poisoning in the bottle.

That's...

That bottle is what Ushigome used to put supplement capsules inside.

I hope you're telling the truth.

No mistake about it.

I used to see him use it all the time.

I see.

-Forensic officer! -Yes, sir!

Please check this bottle together with the PET bottle and the cap!

Yes, sir!

Then, I'm counting on you.

But at that time...

What is it, brats?

Did you recall something that bothers you?

Oh, no. It's just...

Will you try smiling a bit?

What did you just say?

Because you look so much like him.

The coral headed police officer that we know!

Hi!

Hope you're all well!

Of course they look alike!

He's Officer Yokomizo's younger brother.

For real?

Come to think of it, my older brother told me that.

The boy staying with Smokey Kogoro.

It's Sleeping.

The one wearing glasses...

One wearing glasses?

...is hanging around some kids who think they're detectives!

What? We don't think!

We are the Youth Detective Squad!

Right!

His face and voice resemble his brother

but the way he talks and his personality

seems to be the opposite of his brother's.

Yeah. It seems so.

Unfortunately, I guess you, the Detective Squad's

not needed for this case.

Huh?

What do you mean?

The situation is, that no one has touched the PET bottle,

and a container which seems to have had poison in it

was found in the car.

Moreover, the victim was troubled enough to let out a sigh.

So, this is undoubtedly suicide!

So, go! You kids go on home!

You're getting in the way!

What's the big deal, younger brother of Yokomizo?

Let's not get stingy!

Is this cap really the cap for that PET bottle?

Yeah.

This was the only cap found in the car.

Moreover, the tea on the inside of the cap is not dried yet.

And the brand is a match.

But, isn't that strange?

There's blood on the rim of the bottle where you drink from

but there's nothing on the cap.

True.

What? Hey, hey, how come there was blood on it?

I wonder.

Oh, that's probably because...

Ushigome...

Ushigome hurt his finger.

Hurt?

If so, maybe he cut his finger with a cracked shell or something

when he was digging clams.

I think he was digging clams with thinking of something, so...

It's probably true that he was hurt.

When we first met him, Mr. Ushigome had his finger in his mouth.

That's how we figured out the blood-stained rake

that was left behind on the beach belonged to that chubby mister.

And, came to return it to him.

And, ended up seeing this!

I see.

It's true that he has a cut on the index finger of his right hand.

Although the blood looks dry.

In other words, when he first opened the cap,

his wound wasn't closed up yet and the cap was stained with blood.

But, when he brought the bottle here and opened it again,

he noticed the blood on it

so he wiped off the blood first and then opened it again.

But would a person who is about to commit suicide do such a thing?

I think he wanted to leave without leaving any bad traces behind.

He might want to die nice and clean.

At any rate, let's wait from results from the forensic officer.

Until then, I'll have to have you all wait.

Yeah, okay.

I guess we have no choice.

Yeah.

Next Conan's Hint:

"The cap of the PET bottle"

Say "clam digging-sigh" three times.

Clam dig in sigh.
