Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Nichiuri TV radio production unit producer,

Manda Teruomi, is a superficial man who's been living off his glibness alone.

Manda Teruomi (40) Nichiuri TV & Radio Production Unit Producer

And Manda secretly murdered his estranged wife Towako

because she wouldn't agree to a divorce.

Manda Towako (31) Housewife

Furthermore, he used the radio show he produces

Now the whole world's laughing at you.

to frame Towako's upstairs neighbor, Kijima Kumi.

Kijima Kumi (38) Housewife

However, he couldn't deceive the eyes of the police.

Isn't this a premeditated murder?

Could Manda-san really have come up with this if he's all talk?

He was just that desperate to divorce his wife.

Hey, Yashiro-san.

Huh?

Those two seem to really hate Manda-san.

What?

Are you saying one of them did it and is trying to frame Manda-san?

I just thought it might be a possibility.

Even if the boy suspects something, it's too late

Everything has gone according to plan

You underestimate me.

I'll definitely expose the truth.

Right now at this moment, light pierces the darkness!

Overcome all limits with your cool reasoning skills!

A strange case takes place at a radio station!

The grinning culprit stands above the law!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Radio Questions and Concerns Show

"The Radio Questions and Concerns Show, Solution Arc!"

You still think they did it?

They really seemed to hate Manda-san.

Inuyama Ninosuke (38) Nichiuri TV Presenter

I know all about you, Manda-san.

You're secretly scheming to prevent me from becoming independent.

Kujirai Mamoru (35) Nichiuri TV & Radio Production Unit Director

You don't love radio!

You never have.

You only think of your programs as tools to make yourself rich.

You misappropriate them for your personal use!

I suppose. It's clear that they found him disagreeable.

But remember what Yashiro Kaede-san said?

Yashiro Kaede (32) Broadcast Writer

It's true that they don't get along with Manda-san,

but I can't believe they'd kill his wife just to get at Manda-san.

Yeah, but...

Hurry up and eat your food. Then we're leaving.

Hey, wasn't that Okino Yoko-san?

What?! Yoko-chan's here?!

Where? Where?

This way? That way?

Miss!

Abe Rie (24) Nichiuri TV & Radio Production Unit AD

It's true that Manda-san was trying to prevent Inuyama-san from becoming independent.

But I doubt he'd be able to stop Inuyama-san

if he really wanted to quit working for the station.

Right?

Kujirai-san didn't get along with Manda-san either, right?

Kujirai-san's such a serious person.

He'd never get along with the slick Manda-san.

Honestly, he was disgusted with him.

That incompetent fool shouldn't be working in radio.

Incompetent?

It's apparently about a drama Manda-san put on while he was a director.

But it's an old story, so I don't know much about it.

Oh, I remember now.

Huh?

I think that old drama was Yashiro-san's debut work.

What?

You can read it in this reception area.

I'll be right over there.

Thanks.

Radio Drama He Disappeared Without Saying Goodbye Script Yashiro Kaede Director Manda Teruomi Production Nichiuri TV & Radio Production Unit

This single drama made Yashiro-san think she owed Manda-san everything,

while also making Kujirai-san think he was incompetent.

How can that be?

She's not here either.

Okino Yoko-chan, where are you?!

Okino Yoko-chan, where are you?!

Isn't this...?

Radio Drama He Disappeared Without Saying Goodbye Script Yashiro Kaede Director Manda Teruomi Production Nichiuri TV & Radio Production Unit

Miss.

What is it?

Kogoro-no-ojisan said he'd like to hear a recording of this drama.

Sure. I'll submit a request to the records department.

Yoko-chan!

So that's how it is. Anyway...

Cast Isaka Kiko – Adachi Towako

This name, Adachi Towako...

No, that's not possible.

They wouldn't have said that.

Producer Kamio Yoshitaka

I see. So that's how it is.

No, that's all I need to know.

Goodbye.

Which means...

Oh, so that's why?

That's why he drank even though he was about to go on the air.

And someone said during the post show meeting

that they wished Manda-san's wife's upstairs neighbor could've heard the show, right?

Yes.

Do you know who said that?

I think it was...

I knew it.

They used the concern that was submitted by coincidence in their plan.

Where are you?!

Why can't I find you, Yoko-chan?!

Coincidence?

It can't be coincidence that such a convenient concern was submitted.

The listener TM-san isn't the victim Manda Towako-san.

Morikawa Tsugumi

It's someone completely different named Morikawa Tsugumi-san.

Could it be?

Hello?

Yes, I'm Morikawa Tsugumi.

Morikawa Tsugumi (32) Housewife

What? The famous detective?

What does the famous Mori Kogoro-san want with me?

Thank you.

Once I get the results of the investigation I requested...

You damn brat!

Take a look.

Yoko in Hawaii

Yoko-chan couldn't possibly be here.

She's in Hawaii, huh?

We're leaving.

I need to use the bathroom first.

Hey, wait!

That damn brat.

Hello? Ah, Inspector.

What?

I see. I'm actually still at Nichiuri TV.

What?

But why?

Hello? Hello? Hello, Inspector?

I feel better now. Should we go?

We can't leave.

What?

I don't know why, but the inspector told me to wait because he was on his way.

And he told me to gather all the staff again.

I wonder why.

What do the police want now?

The situation's become complicated

since they found out the victim was Manda-san's wife, right?

Inspector.

What is it, Mori-kun?

I heard you asked my detectives to bring Manda here.

What? You told me to wait—

Told me to wait for you here...

Is this the rumored Sleeping Kogoro?

Inspector,

in the case of Manda Towako-san's murder by her husband

and suspect Manda Teruomi-san...

The plot lurking behind it most likely began a month ago,

when Manda-san was brought here as the new producer.

When Manda-san was assigned to be the new producer of the show,

Inuyama-san, he told you about his wife then, correct?

Yes.

At the welcoming party we were socially obligated to throw.

I wish my awful wife would just disappear.

I met her the other day about the divorce, and she wouldn't stop complaining.

Something about her obnoxious upstairs neighbor at her apartment.

That's not my problem, you know?

Right?

When they heard that, the culprit came up with their plan.

They'd murder Manda-san's wife and frame him for it.

Isn't that right, Yashiro Kaede-san?

What?

Why would I frame Manda-san when I owe him everything?

Mori-san!
