Today's stage is also Okinawa!

An alibi trick that goes through the sky.

See through the case with deduction from a different angle.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

A TV program is to be aired with

professional baseball player, Toshizou Nose,

sports reporter, Masaharu Motoyama and Pops in a talk show,

so we all head off to Okinawa.

We join Mr. Motoyama at Naha Airport,

and go to see Mr. Nose,

however, on the way...

That is...

The uniform of the Jaguars.

-Hey! Isn't that Mr. Nose? -No way.

Hurry and contact the police and get an ambulance!

The police?

At any rate, please arrest the murderer as soon as possible.

The devil who got in the way of my best friend

making his Japan record of saves.

No, not right.

He's the killer.

What the...

"The Silent Route (Part 2)"

Conan...

What's the matter?

Are you all right?

What a frightening look you have on your face.

It's nothing.

Really?

Yeah. I was surprised too.

-Well, I'll tell you the details again later. -What was that just now?

Oh, right! Mr. Teranishi, please lend me the car key.

I forgot something in the car.

Excuse me!

May I ask you something?

What is it, sonny?

The key of the hotel of Miyazaki that you just had

isn't disposable, is it?

Why didn't you return it to the front desk

when you checked out?

I haven't checked out yet.

I've got another interview in Miyazaki day after tomorrow.

But, you were planning to have an interview tomorrow too, right?

Going back to the hotel in Miyazaki, then coming back again,

isn't that a waste of plane fare?

You couldn't have known before hand

that the interview tomorrow was going to be cancelled, did you?

This brat.

Did you find what you forgot?

No.

It must've been my mistake.

Thanks for this.

By the way, why are you all here?

Well, they say they're doing another circumstantial investigation,

where Mr. Nose was found dead.

Well... It's just to be sure.

Excuse me.

Are you left handed?

No.

But you caught the key with your left hand just a while ago.

It's a habit!

I used to be an ace number 4 player of the baseball club

until high school.

And...

Why did you use such a back street to go to Mr. Nose's hotel?

The main roads around that area are crowded just about that time of day.

That's why although it's the long way around,

we can get to our destination faster using the back road.

Wait a second.

If I remember correctly...

I'm sure that...

This is it!

I get it.

So, that's what it was.

It's not that he didn't check-out of the hotel.

He couldn't.

No doubt about it.

The killer is Mr. Motoyama.

He's the one who killed Mr. Nose.

He used the back road of the sky to his advantage.

Inspector!

I've finished asking around!

And, did you find any witnesses?

Well...

there was no one who passed by here

just about the time Mr. Nose was killed around 9:30 am.

No witness, weapon nor evidence?

Let's take it easy and take our time, Inspector!

There's still a lot of time

before it's time for us to board our plane for Tokyo,

If you think carefully,

you may come up with evidence

that the killer inadvertently forgot to get rid of!

You brat, cut out your irresponsible comments.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry...

but could I be excused to get something to eat?

I haven't had a bite since I've come here.

True.

No problem.

I'll wait here.

So go ahead.

Would you like to come along too?

I guess so.

Let's take my car and go all together then!

Thank you.

This is a restaurant that I come to often,

and it's quite delicious!

Let's eat and return as soon as we can then!

It's from the producer of the TV station.

We'll wait for you inside the restaurant then.

So when you're done could you lock the car and come.

We'll go on ahead.

Conan!

-Okay. -Hello, Motoyama here.

What's up?

I got a call on my cell from you that rang once and hung up,

that's why I'm returning your call.

I thought that maybe something new came up

regarding Nose's case.

Oh, sorry,

I think I may have mistakenly pushed the button.

I'll contact you if anything comes up.

Goodbye.

What are you doing, Conan?

Oh, well.

I was just thinking what a great detective Mr. Motoyama is.

Idiot!

You're talking about him sensing that Mr. Nose was killed

just as soon as he saw him lying on the ground, right?

Didn't I tell you that Mr. Motoyama sensed it

because he knew that somebody had been threatening Mr. Nose!

No!

Remember what Mr. Motoyama told me at the airport?

What?

He said, let's go, sonny!

Hey! Let's go, sonny!

So why does that make him a great detective?

Because I was away from you and Ran back then

and I was talking to the security guard.

But you still could tell that I was supposed to be with you.

That's what you call super deduction, right?

Come to think of it...

That's strange because this is the first time we ever met.

Well, I guess we can talk it over having a meal.

The place is packed!

I wonder if there are any empty seats?

Everyone!

This way! Over here!

He's found us seats but it's hard to get straight over there.

Okay, then...

The back road!

There, I'm already here!

Taking the longer way, got me here faster!

This is it.

As long as I get rid of this...

Nobody will ever be able to see through the crime that I...

I'm sorry,

but will you please get the timetable from my bag?

I forgot what time our flight is.

-Is this it? -Thank you.

Oh, that's right!

An acquaintance asked me to get him a souvenir from Okinawa.

Will you tell everyone

to go ahead and finish the meal without me,

because I want to go get the souvenir first?

Well, after I'm done,

I'll buy some bread or something and join you all.

Oh, all right!

"Naha Airport Parking Lot"

My...

You seem to be enjoying yourself a lot.

Your best friend passed away

and you look to be quite over the grief already.

Well, I guess it's only natural.

Because you're the one who killed him.

What? Don't be ridiculous.

You even said I have an alibi.

Nose was killed

if I remember correctly at about 9:30 this morning.

I arrived on the 9:50 am,

flight from Miyazaki to Okinawa, you know?

Moreover, that is the only flight from Miyazaki,

and I was on the program that was aired live in Miyazaki, wasn't I?

So, how could I have killed Nose?

It's true that you couldn't come directly from Miyazaki but...

But if you take the long way around via Tokyo.

It's possible for you to set foot on Okinawa before 9:30 am!

Yes, you avoided the crowded main road

and took the back road which got you faster to your destination.

You took the 8:35 pm flight from Miyazaki to Tokyo

and headed for Okinawa on the 6:55 am morning flight from Tokyo.

This would allow you to arrive here at 9:20 am!

Then you went with that rental car

from the airport to Mr. Nose's jogging route,

ambushed and killed him.

You returned to the airport by 9:50 am

and pretended that you just arrived in Okinawa,

then, came to see us!

Wait!

I came out of the Naha Airport arrival gate

this morning at 09:50 am, right?

Let's say I did come in on the 09:20 am flight

and left the gate going outside once,

how was I supposed to enter the arrival lobby again?

-Well... -Well...

That's true.

-See. -Hey.

Mr. Mouri.

We came here because you said you figured out who the killer was.

Oh, well.

-Talk about hopeless. -Right, that's right.

Why were the people in the store a while ago giving us strange looks?

Of course!

We went into the store,

sat down and left without ordering anything.

I'll bet you're hungry.

Would you like my juice?

Oh, yes, please!

You went into the store and left without ordering anything?

Hey!

Come to think of it, the embarkation and arrival floors of Naha Airport

are connected on the inside?

Yes, that's right.

Which means...

you could've just bought any ticket

and go inside from the embarkation gate

and come out from the arrival gate without boarding the plane.

That's right, exactly!

Which means you still not being checked out

from the hotel in Miyazaki suspicious too.

If you came from Miyazaki to Okinawa on this morning's flight,

you would've checked out from the hotel in Miyazaki.

If you also have an interview scheduled in Okinawa tomorrow,

it's only natural for you to spend the night here.

But you couldn't do so

because you were already away from Miyazaki at that time.

Isn't it because you're on a flight last night and already in Tokyo?

Any evidence?

Of course we've got evidence!

Right, Mr. Mouri?

What?

Now, what was it?

Let's leave the rest up to the famous detective!

Pops!

You want juice, don't you?

Right!

That's right!

Please check the flight from Tokyo to Okinawa

that Mr. Motoyama used to carry out his trick

because we were on board that flight too.

My daughter happened to spill tennis balls on board this flight.

And the passenger in the next seat helped pick up the balls.

He was among the passengers,

a suspicious man that caught the tennis ball

with his left hand.

Was that Mr. Motoyama?

But, isn't he right-handed?

A habit since he caught so many balls with his left hand.

Moreover, his job required him to protect is right hand.

That's why he used his left hand

without thinking.

So, please give it to me.

The stuff that you took out from Ran's bag and hid in your pocket.

Mr. Masaharu Motoyama,

the baseball player who in the past,

was awarded the King of rookie and save.

Just what are you talking about?

You're sweating! You must be hot?

How about some juice?

Yes.

Your fingerprints on the tennis ball that you picked up back then

is evidence that you are the killer.

That is what I'd like to say

but that's not how it is.

The surface of a hard tennis ball is fluffy making it difficult

for fingerprints to remain.

And, even if it were found on the ball,

it would only serve as proof that you were on the same flight as we were.

It won't serve as proof that you killed Mr. Nose.

That's why we deliberately made you steal the can of tennis balls

and made you swim.

Because we figured you would undoubtedly lead us

to the weapon you used for the murder

and the place you hid the clothes splotched

with blood when you killed the victim!

This is unmistakably immovable evidence!

But, how amazing that you saw through everything

just by watching him catch the can with his left hand!

Well...

I happened to remember that Mr. Motoyama,

though we met for the first time,

called out to this boy knowing that

he was with us and everything fell in place!

I figured that maybe Mr. Motoyama saw us all together somewhere

before seeing us at the airport.

Well, even a snotty kid like him can be of use at times.

I should've put him to sleep with the tranquilizer gun after all.

Talk about ironic.

To think that my habit ended my baseball career,

and again with this habit of mine, I dug my own grave.

Nose told me that I got a habit when pitching on my first season off

after I received the King of Rookie and King of Save.

I checked myself over and over.

To the point of going neurotic.

But I couldn't find any habit.

Not only that, I damaged my shoulder

because of over pitching during the off season.

I thought that it was strange that after I resigned,

Nose suddenly became very friendly

and introduced me to TV jobs and such.

Then last month,

after coincidentally seeing the VTR

of a sports variety program before editing,

I finally understood why he did so.

Are there any other interesting stories?

Mr. Nose, please tell us!

Well, it's easy to get rid of a young pitcher.

All I did was whisper that he had a habit

and he self-destructed.

-What? -What?

Cut the part out!

I don't want trouble.

Are you serious?

No, it's something I heard from somebody else!

Yes, I never had a habit to begin with.

But I felt obligated to him and swayed between joy and sorrow

because he became the guardian of the Jaguars after me.

I supported him as if he was myself.

That's why I'm so vexed and wretched.

Is that why you killed him?

Yes. I kept him from making his Japan save record.

Using Hideyoshi's "great revenge" trick.

Because the real person to break the national record

and have worldwide fame should have been me.

I wanted to make him realize that!

No.

You would've never made the Japan record.

What?

I feel sorry for the fact that you were deceived

but a stopper is the last stockade for the team.

Even if you're beaten and battered,

no mattered if you're jeered at or what,

if your turn to play comes up in the next game,

you've got to stand on the mound as if nothing happened!

I don't think a guy who loses himself

and commits murder can shoulder the fate of a team.

Pops.

Dad.

I'm the one who wants to cry!

Thanks to you doing something like this.

After I went all out to...

No, forget it.

Do the rest of your repenting behind bars.

What were you going to say, dad?

It's nothing.

Darn it.

I went out of my way to get it and then.

Now, I can't give to her even if I wanted to.

No, wait a second.

If this is going to be his final autograph,

this is be a super rare item.

Dad?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Telephone"
