Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Detective Conan Episode 986 "The Two Faces (Part Two)"

Muto Masako-san came to the agency to hire the old man

Muto Masako (36) Housewife

to find her missing husband Muto Issei, the president of a trading company.

Muto Issei (45) Self-employed

After accepting the job,

the old man and I followed the trail of clues and found Muto.

Muto was actually the president of a second-hand shop and not a trading company.

And?

What are you going to do now?

Muto-san.

What should I do?

I don't know what to do, so I haven't been able to do anything.

If you think it's not too late, then shouldn't you go back to her?

What?

You don't seem like a bad person.

Can't you and your wife get along even after all this happened?

Besides, I believe that's what she wants.

We do have quite a few problems,

but we've decided to start over together.

I see. That's good.

I really have no idea how to thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Goodbye.

"The Two Faces, Part Two!"

Mori Detective Agency

What? What did you say?

Muto-san is dead?!

Understood. I'll head there immediately.

Hey, Mister.

What do you think happened?

Didn't they make up?

Yeah.

Then why?

How should I know?

All we can do is head to the crime scene.

Inspector Megure!

The victim is Muto Issei-san.

He was the president of this second-hand shop.

The estimated time of death is between 2 AM and 6 AM this morning.

We won't know the cause of death until after the autopsy,

but the body was burnt to a crisp.

Furthermore, all the teeth were removed,

perhaps to delay the body's identification.

We didn't find any fingerprints on the stun gun

or gas container left at the crime scene.

Inspector!

Mori-kun.

What are you doing here?

I was actually hired by Muto-san's wife.

Hired?

My husband went missing for a few days.

But Mori-san found him last night, and he returned home safely.

But he ended up like that this morning.

Masako-san, does this mean your husband left the house

and came here after talking to you?

Yes.

He said he needed to do something for work and left around 1 AM.

We're checking the security camera footage right now.

Hey.

How did you know the victim was your husband?

He looked the same from behind.

More than anything, those were his clothes.

But the culprit tried to conceal his identity, right?

I see.

When you think of it that way, it is odd that they didn't change his clothes.

I can tell. That's my husband.

I'm sure of it.

If his wife says so, then it must be true.

Mori-san, thank for everything you've done so far.

Now that things have ended up like this, I don't know what to say.

You have my sympathies, ma'am.

I'll deposit your pay in your bank account.

Goodbye.

Hey, Mister. Was it really her husband that died?

Huh?

If she made a mistake, wouldn't she be really happy to hear that?

You're right!

Thank you, Mori-san.

I'll never forget what you did for me.

Call me Kogoro, ma'am.

Maybe that could happen.

Let's start by questioning the shop employees.

What?

Someone who's been missing since this morning?

Yes. Is there anyone like that?

Well, there is one.

Who is it?

The president.

Why did he have to die?

What's going to happen to this company?

That's not what I meant...

Anyway, I wonder where he went.

Yeah.

He's not the type of guy to take the day off without notice.

Hey, wait.

What's his name and address?

Excuse me. Nonaka-san.

Are you home?

It's not locked.

Nonaka-san.

Nonaka Sadahiko-san.

The employee who's been missing since this morning.

The place is a mess, but it doesn't look like there was a scuffle.

Did he go out without his wallet?

Nonaka Sadahiko Employee

Hey, mister.

What is it?

This is weird.

There's a cup and toothpaste, but I don't see a toothbrush.

I bet I know why.

He probably left the house while brushing his teeth.

Seriously?

It has nothing to do with the case.

Let's go to the next place.

Wait, Mister.

President's Office

Hello.

Well, Inspector?

Judging by the room's state, it looks like he was in a hurry to go somewhere.

I see.

It certainly does look like he was in a hurry.

Inspector Megure, what's this?

Inside this garbage can.

Looks like something was burned.

Documents...

No, it looks like an insurance certificate or something.

Inspector Megure.

There's no security camera footage of the last three days.

It seems to have been deliberately erased.

We also got the DNA results.

And?

The DNA on the provided toothbrush and body were a match.

Then...

The victim really was Muto-san.

Masako-san's testimony...

The DNA and circumstantial evidence...

They all point to Muto Issei-san being the victim.

However, not only were there signs that the culprit

tried to conceal the victim's identity and the security camera footage was erased,

the employee Nonaka-san is also missing.

If that burnt body isn't Muto Issei-san's,

then where is he now?

And what about Nonaka-san?

Huh?

Three utility poles...

Two utility poles...

This is the odd feeling I got when we first came here.

When standing inside the fence, only two of the three poles are visible.

In other words...

It must be here.
