Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Regarding the request you made the other day,

Mori Detective Agency

a thorough investigation revealed, Kanzaki-san,

that not a single person hates you.

Kanzaki Yukio (23) Supermarket Beikado Employee

B-But someone called to say they'd kill me.

You mentioned a couple calls like that, but I think it was a joke played by your friends.

A-A joke?

Everyone I asked had only good things to say about you.

They were just teasing you.

That doesn't surprise me.

Udagawa Katsumi (41) Supermarket Beikado Floor Manager

So no one is trying to kill Kanzaki-kun?

You're Udagawa-san, right?

I understand your concern for your employee.

But if they really meant to harm him, they wouldn't send a warning.

It only puts him on his guard.

And it doesn't help the culprit at all.

What?

Supermarket Beikado

But several days later...

Die, Kanzaki!

Conan's detective skills solve the most unsolvable of crimes.

Times may change, but the starting point remains the same.

The culprit's goal behind stabbing a store's marketing character is a mystery.

Always determining the one truth with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

Bekapon's Bleeding Service

Bekapon's Bleeding Service!

Supermarket Beikado

I'm sorry for asking the same question over and over.

Mori-san...

Inspector Megure, who was stabbed?

Employee Shimomura Gyosuke-san, twenty-five years old.

Like Kanzaki-kun, he's one of my employees.

An ambulance took him to the hospital.

Is it true the culprit mistook him for Kanzaki-san?

Yeah.

It's because he was inside Bekapon.

Bekapon?

That's Beikado's mascot, right?

Fujii Hiroshi (50) Supermarket Beikado Store Manager

I'm Fujii, the store manager.

Every Sunday at Supermarket Beikado,

Bekapon distributes fliers and balloons to customers.

Normally we have Kanzaki-kun wear the costume.

You do?

Yes. I was supposed to today, but I had a stomachache this morning.

After talking to floor manager Shimomura-kun...

What? You want me to wear the Bekapon costume instead?

Shimomura Gyosuke (25) Supermarket Beikado Employee

You're the youngest employee after Kanzaki-kun.

Please, Shimomura-san.

The kids are looking forward to seeing Bekapon.

Oh, no! My stomach...

The medicine I gave you is strong.

Go rest in the break room after you visit the bathroom.

S-Sorry.

It's an emergency. We're counting on you.

Be in front of the store at 11.

If those are your orders, I don't have a choice.

Right, Bekapon?

10:50. I should get going.

Sheesh. I know it's my job, but I don't want to do it.

Akaiwa Teruko (62) Cleaner

Die, Kanzaki!

I see. The culprit said, “Die, Kanzaki.”

Yes, he did.

The culprit knew Kanzaki-san normally wears the costume.

But not realizing someone else happened to be filling in today,

he attacked Shimomura-san thinking it was Kanzaki-san and fled.

He mistakenly assaulted the wrong target.

He attacked the wrong man.

That threat wasn't a joke, Mori-san.

And Shimomura-san got caught up in the crossfire.

I didn't investigate thoroughly enough.

I wonder why the culprit attacked him while he was wearing the costume, though.

He won't get blood on himself through the costume.

Maybe, but...

He attacked the wrong man because of that plan.

But he'll realize soon enough that he attacked the wrong man.

Th-Then he'll attack me next?

Yeah, but don't worry.

I'll find him before then.

I swear on my job that I will.

M-Mori-kun?

M-Mori-san?!

Whoa, there.

How are you going to find him, old man?

Inspector Megure.

I didn't see anyone dressed like the witness described on the security camera footage.

But... But I know I saw him.

He had a yellow jacket and red pants.

He probably took off his ski mask and got out of those conspicuous clothes.

Either the culprit took them with him, or if it was the work of a store employee,

then they could still be hidden in the store somewhere.

You think one of my employees did it?

Your employees knew Kanzaki-san normally wears the costume.

I-I suppose...

Sir, let them investigate us thoroughly.

Both to see if we're hiding the clothes and to clear our names.

All right.

I understand. Our employees will cooperate.

Examine everything including our personal belongings.

Thank you.

Takagi-kun, Chiba-kun.

Yes, sir.

I'll start by questioning you, Kanzaki-san.

All right.

This attack on the wrong man doesn't make any sense.

I have no idea who did it.

That's why I hired Mori-san.

You must have some idea, though.

First there's the warning.

Why did the culprit bother to send one?

A yellow jacket and red pants.

Do you suppose the culprit is a young guy?

He may have deliberately dressed conspicuously to make us think that.

Since the security cameras didn't catch him,

he must have changed into the conspicuous clothes to attack,

and then back into his original clothes.

Why would he go through the trouble?

Normally wouldn't you attack in the street at night?

Looks like it's not here.

We'll have to examine their personal belongings.

Okay.

Sorry for asking a floor manager to move stuff.

We're missing two young men.

We don't have a choice.

There.

So hot.

Udagawa-kun, you're drenched in sweat.

Why don't you take off your jacket?

You could at least roll up your sleeves.

I have a bit of a cold.

Anyway, the police are awful.

I can't believe they suspect us.

You're right.

Bekapon is taking the day off.

I'm sorry. Bekapon took the day off.

What?

And most suspicious of all is someone else happened to wear the costume

the day the culprit carried out his threat.

Wait a minute.

What if it wasn't a coincidence?

That would explain everything.

Izumi Tenko (24) Supermarket Beikado Employee

What? Are Kanzaki-kun and Shimomura-san friends?

Yeah. I was told to ask.

Kanzaki-kun is a kind optimist.

And Shimomura-san is the exact opposite.

So they didn't get along.

I suppose not.

What are you doing?

He's running errands for Mori-san.

What did Mori-san say?

I'm not sure exactly.

Thanks, lady.

You're still here?

Where were you when Shimomura-san was attacked?

Why?

The old man told me to ask.

Mori-san did?

Mori-san suspects the employees, too.

But Kanzaki-kun was resting in the break room when it happened.

What?

After 11AM, Izumi-kun...

There you are, sir!

I came to check on Kanzaki-kun since I'm worried about him.

He's fast asleep.

More importantly, sir...

Shimomura-san was stabbed!

What?!

I can prove his alibi.

Make sure you tell Mori-san.

Okay.

How's your stomach?

Thanks to your medicine, I'm all better.
