Sensei.
Sensei, if you don't leave soon, you'll be late.
Sensei, I'm coming in.
What?
Sensei!
O-Oh, no...
Strangled, huh?
Using rope.
The victim is the owner of the home, Baba Sadako-san, 62 years old.
She was a medium and fortune teller.
A fortune teller?
Yes.
Ogu Masaya (26) Barbara Sadako's Secretary
She ran a fortune telling shop near Shibahama Station under the name Barbara Sadako.
This is Sadako-san's secretary Ogu Masaya-san.
He was the first to discover the body.
We're waiting on the autopsy for details, but it seems she was killed last night.
Last night?
Is there a problem?
Then the detective Mori Kogoro might know something.
Mori-kun?
He called yesterday.
Barbara Sadako's Fortune Telling
This is Barbara Sadako's fortune telling shop.
One moment, please.
Sensei, it's Mori Kogoro-san.
The famous detective?
Baba Sadako (Barbara Sadako) (62) Medium and Fortune Teller
This is Babara Sadako.
Mori-kun invited the victim out?
In my eyes are maximum creation!
My detective skills are tomorrow's reaction!
The old man called the victim on the phone?
I'm curious what his fortune was.
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
The Fortune Teller and the Three Customers
"The Fortune Teller and the Three Customers!"
I didn't call her.
But—
Don't "but" me.
Besides, I don't know anything about the victim.
And you were at home all night last night.
That's right.
Wait, this brat followed me again?
I verified your alibi.
It's possible the secretary did it and he's trying to frame me.
He discovered the body.
Naturally, we checked his alibi.
He's totally innocent.
I see.
The culprit probably used Mori-kun's name
to invite Sadako-san out to the scene of the murder.
Yes.
She wasn't killed here?
No.
After being killed somewhere else, she was transported to this house.
Why did the culprit bother to move the body?
To delay its discovery, of course.
Then wouldn't they take it into the mountains?
And why did they use your name?
Maybe because he's famous.
But if someone used your name, wouldn't you be determined to find the culprit?
Of course.
So why would they get a detective involved?
I don't understand what this culprit is doing.
About the criminal profile...
Huh?
What's this?
"I was nearly killed again."
"Which one of those three did it?"
I was nearly killed again. Which one of those three did it? Is it K? Is it E? Is it S?
"Is it K? Is it E? Is it S?"
Does she mean those three?
After appearing on a live TV broadcast about a week ago...
You three...
I'm Kanawa. You told my fortune last month.
Kanawa Shinsuke (37) Barbara Sadako's Client
I ran into these two on the way here.
According to them, they experienced tragedies because of your fortunes, too.
We came running when we saw you on TV!
Endo Fukami (29) Barbara Sadako's Client
Take responsibility for your fortune telling!
I'll never forgive you!
Sazanami Ryoichi (33) Barbara Sadako's Client
Take responsibility!
Now, now. Please calm down.
What's wrong?
This place is too public.
We should leave for now and come up with a plan later.
You'll pay for this, Barbara Sadako!
I don't know what fortunes she told them.
But if anyone hated her,
then it must have been Kanawa Shinsuke, Endo Fukami, or Sazanami Ryoichi.
Kanawa, Endo, Sazanami.
One of them must be the culprit.
But to be sure, check to see if there was anyone else who hated the victim.
Yes, sir.
Three suspicious persons.
One was a woman.
We found this next to the body.
That brooch.
It belongs to Endo-san.
So they accidentally dropped it when they transported the body here.
If that's true, then they're unbelievably careless.
Excuse me.
Hello? What?
Something suspicious was just discovered at Shibahama Park.
Shibahama Park
That's Sadako-sensei's business card case.
Could this rope be the weapon?
This must be where she was killed.
I'm surprised you found them.
We received an anonymous tip this morning.
They saw a suspicious figure packing something large
into a car in this park last night.
When I came to investigate,
I found signs of a struggle and those objects.
So Endo Fukami strangled Sadako-san here,
drove her to that mansion, and left the body there.
I found this here as well.
S. Kanawa?
Could it belong to Kanawa Shinsuke?
Hello?
A car was abandoned near the mansion?
What?
It belongs to Sazanami Ryoichi?
I was curious, so I looked up the license plate number.
I learned it had already been reported stolen.
It was stolen two days ago.
But what's my car doing here?
That's hair. Compare it to the victim's.
That's my lighter.
But I lost it a few days ago.
Me, too. I lost this brooch.
I've figured out who the killer is.
While these three are suspicious, the culprit isn't one of them.
The three of them attacked the victim.
That's when Kanawa-san dropped his lighter.
Then they loaded the body into the car of the trunk
and transported it to the study in Sadako-san's mansion.
That's when Fukami-san dropped her brooch and left without realizing she'd lost it.
It's all three of them.
What?
That does explain all their belongings.
Yes.
But...
Inspector, these three are the only ones who hated the victim.
Wait, we didn't do it!
Yeah!
Yeah!
The hair belonged to the victim.
Sazanami-san, your car was used to transport the body.
N-No way.
And all three of them hated Sadako-sensei.
Of course we did.
I was thinking of buying a house, so I had her tell me my lucky direction.
Your lucky direction is north-northeast.
The moment I trusted her and bought a house,
the construction company I was working for shut down, and my wife left me.
I asked her to tell me my romantic fortune.
The man right before your eyes is the love of your life.
But when I trusted her and married him, he swindled me.
I had a business I wanted to start,
so I had her tell me when I should start.
Now. Your luck is at its peak.
But when I rushed to quit my job and open shop, it failed, and now I'm drowning in debt.
All three of you suffered serious blows.
They could definitely be motives.
And none of you have alibis for last night, right?
I told you, someone called me.
It was a man.
We received the same call, too.
He was making sure we wouldn't have alibis.
The culprit set us up.
You expect us to believe your convenient story?
Hello?
What?
The results of the autopsy
show the victim died between 8PM and 9PM last night.
She was killed by 9PM at the latest?
Then...
Kid, where are you going?
I knew it.
This document was created after 10PM last night.
Which means...
The victim didn't write this.
The culprit wrote it when they brought the body here
to cast suspicion on these three.
In other words, they really were framed.
See?
If one of them killed her, they'd never write this.
If they tried to frame them,
the culprit must've known they hated the victim.
Did you tell anyone else?
I haven't told anyone.
Me, neither.
