Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Huh?

Eimi-chan!

Oh, sorry! Wrong person!

She fences, too.

Wow. That's cool.

Now where is she?

Wouldn't it be faster to ask?

Don't be stupid.

They'll know we snuck in, then.

Whoa, there...

Sonoko, we can't just come in here.

Yeah, this is bad. We're going to be late.

Sonoko-chan!

Chikada Eimi (17) Kuwanoki High Third Year Student

What?

Eimi-chan!

Club Orihime

This is it!

Are you okay, Eimi-chan?!

Your hair... How cruel.

Who did this to you?

They came up behind me.

I didn't see their face.

They're not getting away with this.

Watch out, you two.

In the end, we couldn't find the culprit.

Propelled forward by the years spent together.

Charging full speed ahead without slowing the pace.

A romantic advice club receives warnings about incidents to come.

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Welcome to Club Orihime

"Welcome to Club Orihime!"

The incidents had already occurred three days prior and the day before.

Three Days Earlier

Godai Megumi (16) Kuwanoki High Second Year Student

Yesterday

Furthermore, they'd been warned about the incidents.

Tamai Chie (18) Kuwanoki High Third Year Student

7/8 MG will suffer my wrath!

They were dated with the days they occurred.

7/10 CT will face retribution!

The letters were the victims' initials.

The letters were sent to "Club Orihime,"

a romantic advice club opened at the school by Eimi-san and her classmates.

Named after Italy's "Juliet Club,"

the club's policy of accepting letters instead of e-mails

was popular among the female students.

And this morning, they received another...

7/11 EC will be brought to justice!

It was dated with today's date.

Believing the initials EC referred to herself, Chikada Eimi,

she asked her new friend Sonoko who she met at her job for help.

They won't get away with this!

Pranks with hot peppers and toy spiders are innocent enough.

You should be fine now.

But cutting a girl's hair is a real crime! It's assault!

Thank you.

She's right.

We should call the police.

Wait!

I'll handle this!

What?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just noticed this was here.

Did the culprit leave it behind?

Let me see.

TB dies at sundown tonight!

What?

At sundown?

That's about two hours from now.

What are we going to do, Sonoko?

We can't wait for the police!

I'll catch the culprit and save TB!

What's wrong, Conan-kun?

Um, nothing.

Anyway, let's get started.

Based on the escalating threats and time limit, it didn't seem like a prank.

But we didn't have access to personal information like the student roster.

We had to split up and look for clues.

If the T stood for her given name,

there were countless possibilities like Tae, Takako, Tamami, and Toshiko.

Tae

Takao

Tamami

Toshiko

But not many family names start with B.

Baba

Bando

Bito

We found girls named Baba, Bando, and Bito immediately.

But none of them felt threatened or even knew about Club Orihime.

It's no use!

There's less than an hour before sunset!

Eimi-san...

Sonoko, it's not too late to call the police.

This could turn into a disaster.

Yeah, but...

Okay.

I'll start over.

There was something I found odd about this, and that was...

First, the hair stuck to the window sill.

Could it be?

I found it!

I knew it.

And the other thing is that.

I found it.

Tamai Chie Godai Megumi

The first and second victims.

What is this?

Dear Romeo

Hey! What are you doing, kid?

Uh-oh.

You shouldn't read people's letters, Conan-kun.

S-Sorry... I just wanted to help.

Eimi-san, who's Romeo?

Huh?

Kariya Yuto (17) Kuwanoki High Third Year Student

Oh, Romeo.

Wherefore art thou Romeo?

He ignored me.

Kariya Yuto-kun, valedictorian and hottest guy at school.

They received countless letters from girls madly in love with you.

But it's only natural, right?

What?

Where were you an hour ago?

You cut that girl's hair with a utility knife in Club Orihime's room, didn't you?

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

An hour ago, I...

I found your utility knife. Meet me behind the gym so I can return it to you.

That's the same handwriting as the warning letters.

Did you go?

It's true that I lost my knife.

And buying a new one's too much of a hassle.

And?

I waited about five minutes, but no one came, so I came back here.

That's all.

You expect me to believe that?

You made up this story so you'd have an alibi.

Think what you want.

I don't care if you believe me.

Are we finished? I don't have time for games.

You're applying to a state school, right?

What? Yeah.

And you're wasting my time.

Honestly, you're a nuisance.

Will you go away? You're annoying me.

I just know it. He did it.

Really?

He really pissed me off!

What's with the attitude?!

That's why?

What a terrible personality! It must be him!

Calm down, Sonoko.

Eimi-san, did you write any letters about Romeo?

What?

Oh, right. All the victims have Romeo in common.

No, I... give advice.

Besides...

There's no way you'd fall in love with that guy.

There's no time.

We need to find proof that he did it.

I never...

Sonoko, I thought we were looking for TB.

But we can't find them.

Besides, wouldn't it be quicker to catch the culprit?

Yeah, but...

I've been wondering...

Are TB really the victim's initials?

What did you say?

What do you mean, Conan-kun?

Well, "Club Orihime" is named after Italy's "Juliet Club," right?
