Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Detective Conan Episode 970 "The Young Kaga Lady's Mystery Tour (Part Two)"

Ran won travel vouchers in a lottery, so we came to Kanazawa for sightseeing.

Kanazawa

While there, we ran into Hayashi Mari-san,

who was transporting ransom money for a kidnapping case.

Hayashi Mari (23)

The hostage Saikawa Manabu-san was released,

and we were initially relieved, but...

Saikawa Manabu (55)

It became clear that the kidnapping was an act put on by Manabu-san, and he fled.

The police are pursuing him, and it's only a matter of time before the case is solved.

Hayashi Soichi (52) Hayashi Draper President

At least, it should have been...

You think you'll get away with this?

The rhythm on my lips is footloose!

The rhythm of my detective skills is perfect!

Too many mysteries for one kidnapping case!

Don't let the silks become stained with malice!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Kayatamatsu Hot Spring Geisha Call Office "Hanayakata"

Whoops.

It's Mari-san.

What happened?

I'm not sure.

Kaede Yuko (40) Hayashi Draper Accountant

When I came to clean before we open, I found the president on the ground.

Dad, how's Soichi-san?

He's unconscious, but he'll live.

Good.

Hey, where's Rintaro-san?

I tried calling him, but he won't answer.

He's probably still asleep.

Why does he have to be asleep now?

Mari!

Are you okay?

Kondo Takumi (24) Mari's Boyfriend

My father... My father...

Mister, what did the police say?

Since he still had his wallet, it's unlikely he was attacked by a robber.

And they found footprints belonging to three individuals at the crime scene.

One set belongs to the president, but they still don't know whose the other two are.

Does that mean he was attacked by two people?

Probably.

Where did President Hayashi go after we parted ways last night?

He went to put the money away in the safe in his office.

What time was that?

I believe it was around 11 PM.

I see. And after that?

I don't know. I went straight to my room.

Mister, what's that?

That's gold dust.

What's it doing here?

Come to think of it, I saw gold dust on Soichi-san when he was being carried away.

Maybe Takumi-san works with gold dust at his job.

Look at Takumi-san's hands.

They have a rash on them.

It's probably because of lacquer.

And look at his bracelet.

It's to prevent static electricity, right?

Kanazawa is famous for its gold foil.

Lacquer is used as an adhesive for gold foil,

and static electricity makes gold foil stick to things,

so the bracelet is meant to prevent that, right?

Well?

That's right.

I'm an apprentice in traditional Kanazawa gold foil crafts.

So, what?

If your gold dust was stuck to the president, that means you met with him last night.

Am I wrong?

You think I did it?

I didn't do it!

Then why don't you explain why there was gold dust stuck to the president?

Takumi-san, answer him.

Fine.

Last night, I went to the president's office to steal some money.

If he had 30 million yen, I thought he wouldn't notice if a little bit went missing.

But he caught me and grabbed me by the collar.

That must've been when the gold dust stuck to—

Why did you do that?

Because I don't have enough money.

What?

I burn through all my money trying to keep up with your spending habits.

Why would you put it like that?

Now, now. Let's calm down.

Instead of that, for now let's focus on the attack on the president.

I told you, I didn't do it!

Really? You didn't attack him to keep him quiet?

I said I didn't do it!

Hey, mister.

What? I'm on a roll right now.

Isn't this sawdust?

Do you use sawdust at your job, too?

I don't use that stuff.

Then what is this?

Maybe it's hikiko.

It's a kind of sawdust passed through a sieve.

Printed silk makers use it to prevent dyeing.

Right?

That's right. You're well informed.

I've seen it on TV before.

If that hikiko stuff was on the weapon,

then it's likely one of the printed silk makers Hagino Rintaro

or Saikawa Manabu touched the weapon.

Mari-san, is something wrong?

I-It's nothing.

Really?

Hiding it won't do you any good.

Very well. I'll tell you.

I saw Manabu-san running off last night from my window.

Why didn't you mention something so important?

Because...

I knew Manabu-san would be suspected if I did.

Of course he would be!

He resents your father because he failed to steal the money once.

It's possible he returned last night to try to steal the money again,

ran into the president, and struck him without thinking.

I can't imagine Manabu-san hurting my father!

But he did in fact try to trick him out of his money with a fake kidnapping.

We were at fault in that as well!

Hey...

Why is Mari-san so desperate to defend Manabu-san?

Because to Mari-chan, Manabu-san is like a foster parent to her.

A foster parent?

When President Hayashi was busy with work,

Manabu-san would play with Mari-chan instead.

Really?

In any case, he has motive, and he was witnessed at the crime scene.

A withheld number?

Hello?

Put my phone on speaker?

Very well.

Listen closely!

I have Rintaro!

If you want him returned safely, give me back my 30 million!

What do you mean, you have Rintaro?

I'll send you the time and place for the drop off later!

I'm serious this time!

Hey, cut out this nonsense!

What?

R-Rintaro-san!

Damn that Manabu.

Is he determined not to give up?

Mori-san, what should we do?

To be safe, you should prepare the ransom money.

Very well.

Mari-san, could you show me that photo again?

Thank you.

I don't see any clues that will help us identify where he's being held.

What's this?

Hey, Yuko-san.

I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

Manabu-san and Rintaro-san are master and apprentice, right?

Did they get along?

Those two?

Well, between the two of us,

I don't think Rintaro-kun thought very highly of Manabu-san.

What? Really?

I secretly follow Rintaro-kun's social media accounts.

Go to hell

I wish the master would die already
