Time is the y-axis, and I'm the x-axis!

Inscribing love and cases with deductive reasoning!

The Detective Boys were at the crime scene,

but Conan doesn't seem to be around!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

A Day Without Conan

"A Day Without Conan!"

The victim is a serial blackmailer named Unmo Sadakazu-san.

Unmo Sadakazu (30)

There's no weapon at the crime scene,

but he most likely died instantly when he was hit over the head with a metal pipe.

But, Mitsuhiko...

They're finished. I'll call you back.

These hot springs are great!

Compared to how cold it is in Tokyo, this place is paradise!

Come on, kid!

Let's stuff ourselves!

The old man got free hotel vouchers somewhere.

Gift Mori Kogoro-sama Congratulations on being selected This invitation entitles you to free lodging

Ran was unable to come, so he made me come with him.

So the estimated time of death is today between 3:30 to 4:30.

It's four.

That's when the tall man wearing sunglasses and a mask came out.

And you kids were watching this construction site from across the street then?

Yes. We saw a woman in trouble.

It was regarding her grandson who lives with her.

Kubo Hisae (73) Housewife

Not only can he not hold down a job,

but lately he's being going out in the evening and staying out until morning.

That idiot is out gallivanting around when he doesn't even have a job.

We should catch him while he's out fooling around and advise him to stop.

Yeah!

It's not like we're meddling.

I feel bad for that woman.

I didn't say anything.

He should be going out soon.

Hide!

That's a huge dude...

The suspicious man...

...came running out after about five minutes.

He ran away.

Did something happen?

We were curious about what happened, but then...

Kubo

the grandson in question came out.

Kubo Yukihide (19) Hisae's Grandson

When we followed him,

we discovered he was actually working.

He was working nights.

He's still a trainee.

He planned to tell her once he became an employee.

By the way, who was that man?

The man you kids saw certainly sounds suspicious,

but without knowing his appearance or age...

But he was really tall.

There are lots of men like that.

Unmo-san himself looks to be almost two meters tall.

Inspector Megure, is it safe to assume the suspect was being blackmailed by Unmo-san?

It seems Unmo-san had no relationship with his neighbors.

The culprit was being blackmailed by that Unmo guy, too.

So they lied about paying him, asked to meet him here, and killed him.

Most likely, yes.

Huh?

Incoming Call Edogawa Conan

Conan-kun.

Hello?

There's something bothering me.

There was no weapon at the crime scene, right?

Right. We believe the culprit took it with them.

But the man who fled wasn't carrying a metal pipe, right?

You're right.

Perhaps he was hiding it under his coat.

Got it. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon.

Let's find the culprit then.

All You Can Eat All You Can Drink

Experience the flavors of winter with our hot pot and seafood dishes

Got it.

Ow!

Mister!

We apologize for the inconvenience We are working as safely as possible We appreciate your cooperation No Authorized Access

What?!

You can't come back now?

Hospital

Yeah, sorry. Stick with the police and tell me everything you learn.

Got it.

Unmo

Found it.

Client List

It's a list of the people he was blackmailing.

Ten men and one woman, huh?

Let's split up.

We'll join you.

We can't let you do that.

We saw the culprit.

If we encounter the suspect, we may be able to recall something.

It doesn't make sense.

What happened to the metal pipe?

Perhaps he was hiding it under his coat.

If that's true, then they would've noticed him running unnaturally.

Which means the weapon disappeared later.

Did someone take it?

We're sorry to have bothered you on your day off.

Sadabetsu Kenji Daimonji Iwao Samei Rika

That just leaves Samei Rika-san, the woman.

Maybe that person was actually a masculine woman.

It's not her.

Someone who makes such cute drawings couldn't kill a person.

And she's hardly a masculine woman.

Samei Rika (28) Illustrator

She's frail and small.

Samei Rika-san, where were you at four yesterday?

I was...

Oh, Kuniko-san.

Yes?

I was in my apartment yesterday afternoon, right?

Tago Kuniko (36) Rika's Neighbor

What? You started working at around 3.

Did something happen?

No, thank you.

I see.

Well, see you later.

Samei Rika-san 28 Illustrator According to neighbor Kuniko-san (housewife) started working around three

We didn't get any hits.

Then let's try calling the other group.

We're on the phone with them right now.

What? I see. Got it.

Everyone they spoke with had an alibi, too.

What?!

All the suspects are innocent?

We're stuck.

Then who killed that guy with the dumb face?

Dumb face?

The victim Unmo Sadakazu-san didn't have a particularly dumb face.

That's because you didn't see the body, Conan-kun.

Hold on.

Hello, this is Mori.

What? Are you feeling better?

Yeah. Could you put Detective Takagi on the phone?

Very well. I can't refuse a request from you, Mori-san.

I see.

Were his front teeth knocked out when he was hit?

No, they weren't.

Yamamoto Dental Clinic Unmo Sadakazu

They're dentures. We found them in his apartment.

He was going to have them put back in at the start of the week.

So they were out since before he arrived at the crime scene.

I was just curious. Sorry to have bothered you.

Anyway, the real problem is all the suspects are innocent.

Why can't we find the man who killed this person and fled?

He was wearing a button-down shirt.

Could it be?

But...

Unmo

They're making a new list of suspects?

So we're back to square one.

The estimated time of death?

I told you, it was around four.

That's when you guys saw the tall man running away, right?

What time did the police determine it was?

Between 3:30 and 4:30.

Hospital

Until 4:30, right?

Yes. What about it?

So that's how it is.

He was wearing a button-down shirt.

Could it be?

But...

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko In Call

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko Call Ended

That explains everything.

Hospital

Why we can't find the tall man,

why the weapon is missing,

and the victim Unmo-san.

I even have some idea of why the culprit did that.

The problem is...

Who is that?

Hospital

According to Mitsuhiko, all the suspects have alibis.

No, are we sure that's true?

Mitsuhiko, sorry. I want you guys to split up and do something for me.

The first is to confirm her alibi with the witness.

The second is a treasure hunt.
