Detective Conan Live Action (Kudo Shinichi he no Chosenjo)

"Thursday Mystery Theater"

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: Great Detective Conan Challenge to Kudo Shin'ichi

Ran!

"Unknown Caller"

"Ran's cell phone?"

This date is...

"September 17th, 2010"

"Beika Center Building"

Hey, will you be okay?

It's expensive here.

I'll be fine. Don't worry.

"Beika Center Building 38th Floor Restaurant"

You profligate son.

Fool!

I'm more the neglected son of parents whose hobby it is to go off to foreign countries.

"Shin'ichi's Childhood Friend Mori Ran"

And? What did you want to talk about?

It's gotta be for some incredible favor, isn't it?

"High School Student Detective Kudo Shin'ichi"

Eh?

You made reservations at a restaurant like this one...

That's... because I got discounted tickets.

What I wanted to tell you was...

"For The Exclusive Use of Authorized Personnel Only Elevator"

"Beika Center Building 38th Floor Office Area"

I'll ask you to take care of the rest.

Eh? President, aren't you going to the company's Founding Party?

Ah, I'm not feeling well.

"Games Company President - Tatsumi Taiji" I'll just stop by the company for a bit then head home.

"Games Executive President - Miki Yoshihisa Games Managing Director - Hashimoto Kyoshi"

But you said you wanted to announce our company's long-awaited new character.

Well, please tell everyone to do their utmost for our company. Okay?

Still, it's awfully dark in here.

"Games Director - Ooba Satoru" As part of the production, I asked them to overdo diming the lights.

Ahh... I see, I see.

So long. I'm counting on all of you.

- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks for your hard work.

I'm sorry.

"President's Daughter Tatsumi Sakurako"

Do you know which restaurant the meeting is being held in?

Ah, it's you, Miss!

The meeting place is in the back room of our usual Italian restaurant.

The lady and I are to give the congratulatory speech at the party in a little while...

...so could you head over there for now?

Since the party is about to start, don't be late.

Yes.

Ooba-san!

Aren't you late?

You promised to meet here at half past 8, didn't you?

Sorry, I got delayed.

The preparations look longer than expected.

More importantly...

...did you have that talk with Papa about us?

Of course.

He gave us the OK right off.

Then we can be together, can't we?

Yeah.

Shouldn't my courage be rewarded with a prize?

One of your hot kisses will do.

"Beika Center Building - 38th Floor Party Hall" What a magnificent ceremony! Thank you very much!

Please enjoy yourselves to your heart's content, today!

Ah, seems the party's started.

At 8:30 sharp.

Before the party...

Here, a present.

Eh? What is it?

It's a pink pearl necklace that should perfectly match the earrings you have on right now.

Thank you!

It's only natural.

Well, let's go to the party; everyone's waiting.

And?

What did you want to talk about?

Eh? Ah!

That's...

Let's see...

For pete's sake.

I know it must be hard to say it...

...but a man has to say these things like a man!

That you've forgotten your wallet.

Huh?

Eh? I'm wrong?

After all, you've been sweating and fidgeting for quite a while now...

Truth is, you're right.

It was tough telling you.

I knew it!

It couldn't be that, now could it?

Eh?

Well then...

...here's an introduction to our company's newest character, Kumakki-chan!

"Kumakki"

Kumakki-chan is winking at you!

Because there was something I wanted to tell you...

...that's why I intentionally asked you to dinner...

That is...

That's to say...

Kyaa!

What was that scream just now?

Most likely someone found a cockroach, isn't it?

Nothing to worry about.

Oi! Someone was found dead in the elevator.

So, what I wanted to say was...

Have they called the police?

It's a gun! A gun!

The President of Games was shot through the head!

That is, well...

Don't force yourself.

Eh?

Can't be helped if you're interested in that case.

No...

Hurry and get going, Detective-san.

Sorry.

I'll be right back!

This was a showy one, wasn't it?

Most likely done at close range, wasn't it?

And? What's the victim's ID?

Tatsumi Taiji-san, 58 years old.

He's said to be the President of the gaming company, Games, here in this building.

He was discovered by these two.

The corpse was found when they realized they had forgotten...

...the flowers to be used at the company's party and were going back by this elevator.

"MPD Investigation Unit One - Sato Miwako" "Exclusive Use Elevator"

This elevator is for the exclusive use of Games, isn't it?

That's right.

Perhaps someone came into the building and was hiding out on a lower floor...

His clothes are in disarray...

...so the criminal waited for the party to clear so they could target someone rich...

Huh?

I heard from Inspector Megure about a similar case as this one that happened here before...

Eh?

I'm very sorry. I don't think this crime had money as its target.

Eh?!

If the criminal's goal was money and they possessed a gun...

...they would have taken this guy out to some lonely area.

If after killing him they intended to search him for things of value...

...the inside of a moving elevator makes for the worst place to do that.

Moreover...

...even if you said the criminal was checking through his clothes...

...they wouldn't have bothered to unbutton his shirt sleeve...

Don't you think so?

Kudo-kun?!

Ran and I are having dinner here.

Can two high school students go on a date at a building...

...with such an expensive restaurant in it?

Well... There's a reason why we chose here.

Papa!

Papa! Papa! Papa!

Kyaa!!

You were the last ones to see President Tatsumi, weren't you?

The three of us came with him to see him off at this elevator.

After that, his daughter came along...

...and after the two of us briefly went over the congratulatory speech, we went on to the party...

Do you know around what time that was?

Let's see... That was...

Half past 8!

The party crackers had started popping...

...and because the clock hand said so, there's no mistake about it.

"Clock hand"?

You're not wearing a wristwatch, are you?

I saw the dial on Ooba-san's watch.

When he was touching my earrings.

He touched your earrings?

He gave me a present here.

"Here, a present."

He said it was a pink pearl necklace, the same as my earrings.

It was for the anniversary of the two of us being together...

For such a thing to happen to Papa...

Here, some water.

Thank you.

Um... There's something strange about what you said earlier.

Is it true you looked at his watch dial?

How rude. I did look at it.

Ah...

Because it was so dim there when she arrived, she couldn't have seen it, right?

But the hands of my watch have a luminous paint on them so they're visible even in the dark.

The Hall was dimmed on the President's orders.

It was one of the details I heard was done for the sake of the production...

In that case, this is strange.

Wait. What on earth is so strange about it?

Because, look...

If you were touching her earrings with your watch hand, she couldn't have seen the dial.

You're a fool.

When touching her ear from this side, she could see it, couldn't she?

Ehh...

To her ear on your right, huh?

When she saw that, she'd know.

I could see her earring on the ear to my right.

That's why I...

What were you doing with your right hand?

It would have been easier to touch her with your right hand.

Well, if your right hand was occupied with something else...

...it would have been impossible to do that.

Then what is it?

Do you mean I had a gun in my right hand?

A gun?

I didn't say a single word about that.

"What's so important that Shin'ichi wanted to talk to me about?"

"What is it? What could it be?!"

Have you...

...gained weight recently?

Ah...
