Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

The victim is Amagi Tatsuya-san, a resident of a nearby apartment building.

Fukuda Tameo-san, who discovered the body,

Fukuda Tameo (33) Office Worker

found it when he happened to pass through this area.

Th-That's right.

I was shocked and called the police.

Based on the body's condition,

we believe he was killed around 9 PM last night.

He seems to have been stabbed in the torso

several times by a sharp awl-like object.

Since the wallet full of money was left on the body,

and due to the relentless nature of the murder, it's likely...

Amagi Tatsuya (24)

...a murder motivated by hatred.

Conan-kun!

I saw some police cars and followed them here.

What kind of hatred would drive a person to do something like this?

Mori-kun!

I saw some police cars.

You're unbelievable.

Anyway...

Inspector.

The victim Amagi-san seems to have been disliked by his neighbors.

Looks that way.

Even heaven is watching the labyrinths of the world!

Full throttle reasoning skills penetrate all mysteries!

The rubberneckers respond in a curious way.

A chain reaction of cases starts in the neighborhood.

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

The Shifting Mystery of Beika City

"The Shifting Mystery of Beika City, Part One!"

Amagi Tatsuya-san, who was living off his inheritance from his parents,

moved to this town about three months ago.

He rode his motorcycle at all hours.

Its deafening roar bothered all the residents

of this quiet neighborhood.

They should've asked him to keep it down.

We tried, but...

Excuse me.

What?

Do you need something?

Oh, well...

Why did all of you come to see me?!

Ouch...

You're pathetic.

Why did you even come here?

He was horrifyingly crude.

In other words, the victim Amagi Tatsuya-san was a massive nuisance.

And including you, Fukuda Tameo-san, who discovered the body...

Everyone in the neighborhood had motive to kill him.

Why do they think we killed him?

It's no surprise he was killed.

It was divine retribution.

We're the victims here.

We wouldn't kill someone over that.

We asked the neighborhood association president,

Bando-san, to make him stop.

Are you referring to Bando Hikoichi-san?

Yes.

You know him?

Yeah, we found Bando-san's medical examination card

next to the body.

Maybe neighborhood association president Bando Hikoichi-san

invited Amagi Tatsuya-san out last night so he could tell him to stop, but...

Amagi-san wouldn't listen so,

he stabbed him in a rage.

Let's visit Bando-san next.

The local authorities can handle things here.

Yes, sir.

You can count on us.

Hey, mister.

Don't you think it's too sloppy to leave

personally identifying evidence at a crime scene?

Let's go see the face of that sloppy man.

He got what was coming.

Amagi got what was coming to him.

Bando Hikoichi (35) Neighborhood Association President

Bando-san!

Bando-san!

Are you all right?!

Bando-san!

It's no use.

He's dead.

Judging by his condition, he must've died last night.

He poisoned himself with alcohol and pesticides.

This is blood, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's probably the weapon used to kill Amagi Tatsuya-san.

So it ends with the murderer's suicide.

Does this mean our suspect's dead?

No.

But...

Get forensics down here.

Yes, sir.

Bando Hikoichi-san seems to have been a pleasant but unreliable man.

He was forced into becoming the neighborhood association president.

Apparently more than half the neighborhood's property belongs to the Bando family.

So he couldn't refuse.

But if the residents were pestering him,

he couldn't have avoided talking to Amagi-san.

Of course he couldn't!

Ezaki Hiro (20) College Student

We were paying dues to the neighborhood association.

Apparently that woman, Ezaki Hiro-san, was pestering him the most.

She seems like a strong-willed person.

Since he was so unreliable,

he may have brought the awl with him for self-defense.

What'd you want to talk about?

Um...

Huh?

Spit it out!

What did you want to discuss?

And the panicked Bando-san ended up stabbing him.

But believing he couldn't escape his crime...

He killed himself.

That's one painful case closed.

Don't rush to conclusions.

Well, that works out.

That useless man

finally did something useful for the neighborhood.

How convenient that he stabbed that awful nuisance.

I don't think that's what happened, detectives.

Bando-san couldn't have committed a crime.

Really?

If that's not what happened, then...

Bando-san wasn't that worried about Amagi-san either.

He was laughing just yesterday.

Could you tell us more, uh...?

My name is Kanemitsu Toyoko.

You can't cross that line.

Kanemitsu Toyoko (68) Café Manager

Then why don't we go to my place to talk?

There's no need for us to go anywhere.

Yeah.

You're the great detective Mori-san, aren't you?

You should come with us.

I run a small café just over there.

Really? In that case...

Seriously?

Here you are.

Thank you.

Here you are.

Thank you.

When did Bando-san stop by yesterday?

Gamo Koyuki (23) Waitress

I think it was past noon.

That's right.

He came with his friend Chino Yosuke-sensei,

who teaches Japanese history at Haido College.

I had it appraised.

This one's not worth much either.

That's a shame, Bando-san.

I wasn't expecting much.

Didn't you spend days examining the contents of the storehouse, Chino-sensei?

Chino Yosuke (35) College Professor

Yeah, I was hoping we'd find something valuable.

But the storehouse was full of old worthless junk.

Is it possible for such a historic old mansion not to have any treasures?

I know.

But Chino's an expert.

Yup, not a single treasure.

I shouldn't be laughing.

The neighborhood association has been pestering me about that nuisance.

You still haven't gone to talk to him?

That's not something I'm good at.

I'm waiting for the right moment.

That was yesterday afternoon?

So it's hard to imagine Bando-san went to talk to Amagi-san last night.

You're right.

It's hard to imagine he did.

Bu...

But...

Did Bando Hikoichi-san really kill himself?

There was something strange about the lock on his front door.

It was unlocked when we arrived.

Normally you'd lock it if you meant to kill yourself.

So no one can interfere.

I don't know...

...what's going on anymore.

This is Megure.

Yeah. Got it.

It's forensics.

He was indeed poisoned with pesticide,

but it was mixed into the alcohol in the bottle.

If he killed himself, he would've poured it into a glass.

Putting in the bottle would've diluted it.

Sounds like a murder disguised as a suicide.

But that means...

The culprit must be absent-minded.

The method they used is easily discovered,

and they didn't even lock the front door.

If Bando-san didn't commit suicide,

then what about Amagi-san's murder?

I told you, Bando-san didn't do it.

After all, I heard Amagi-san was stabbed to death with an awl.

What?

That's impossible, since...

Bando-san had a fear of needles.
