Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Anyway, their donuts are made with soy pulp,

so they're low sugar.

Not only that, but they look amazing.

But aren't they fried in oil?

Won't it make us fat?

They've got holes in the middle. We'll be fine.

They said they're low calorie since they're low sugar.

Eat too much of anything, and you'll still get fat.

We've arrived.

Well? Pretty tasteful, right?

Always determining the one truth

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

Murder at the Townhouse Café

"Murder at the Townhouse Café!"

Wow.

What a pretty yard.

Seriously.

It's beautiful.

Yeah.

A place like this is sure to look amazing!

I know, right?

Our staff member Sakai takes great care of our yard.

Tomita Satoshi (37) Manager

It's truly impressive. I'm proud of it.

Yes, it really is wonderful.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Mister, do you work here?

Ah, my apologies.

I'm Tomita, the manager.

I'll show you to your seats.

This way, please.

What should we get?

Didn't we come here to eat donuts?

Of course we'll eat donuts as well.

What can I get you?

What do you recommend?

Our soy pulp donuts are our number one item.

They're low sugar and made to order, so you can enjoy them fresh.

But judging by the state of things, this place's popularity suddenly spiked and waned.

Sir.

I brought the soy pulp out of the storage room.

Sakai Chitose (19) Part-time Employee

Thank you.

All right. I've decided.

I'd like a hot Darjeeling tea.

Also, one shibazuke and cream donut, two matcha and mayo donuts,

two chocolate dream donuts, one plain donut, and one molasses crepe parfait.

How about you, Ran?

I'll have the same thing.

What? The same thing?

Conan-kun, you'll have orange juice, right?

Uh, yeah.

Thank you for waiting.

Wow, they're beautiful!

They look delicious.

Don't you agree, Ran?

Yeah, but we may have ordered too much.

Let's dig in!

Sakai, I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

Understood.

Conan-kun?

Is something wrong?

No. I'm not sure which to eat.

Then how about this one?

I had a bite, but it's good.

Isn't that the donut you just ate?

Say, "Ah."

An indirect kiss...

Right? Good, isn't it?

Yeah.

These are lighter than expected, don't you think?

Yeah. I could eat these forever.

There's sourness and saltiness behind the sweetness, too.

Yeah.

The sound of frying donuts really whets the appetite, doesn't it?

Hey.

What is it, Sonoko?

Ran, doesn't he seem kind of suspicious?

You're right.

He keeps looking around everywhere. He seems restless.

And doesn't that customer seem odd, too?

It's more like he's observing donuts, not eating them.

There isn't a single decent customer in this place.

What was that beeping sound?

I heard it, too.

I'll take your empty plates.

I'm stuffed.

I can't eat anymore.

You ate too much, Sonoko.

Speaking of eating too much, it looks like he did, too.

He's having a pretty rough time.

I wonder if he'll make it to the bathroom.

Anyway, those were pretty good.

They seemed pretty high-level for low sugar donuts.

But they're still fried.

Should we have eaten that much?

We'll be fine. That's why they're low sugar, right?

What was that?

Conan-kun?

What's wrong?

I-It's an emergency.

The manager...

Are you all right?

Sir?

Kid, what's going on?

The manager collapsed in the bathroom.

What?

Was he struck?

The weapon was probably that mop.

The culprit used those gloves on the ground to avoiding leaving fingerprints behind.

Or could it be...?

In any case, let's call an ambulance and the police.

You're right.

The victim is Tomita Satoshi-san, the owner of this café.

He was struck on the back of the head with a blunt object while in the café's bathroom.

At that time, these people were inside the café.

You girls again?

Sorry.

Could you tell us your names?

Yes.

My name is Sakai Chitose. I'm a student.

As you can see, I work here part-time.

Furukawa Yoshihisa (34) Customer

My name is Furukawa Yoshihisa.

I happened to be having tea here.

There's nothing suspicious about me.

Nonaka Kenji (42) Café Manager

My name is Nonaka Kenji.

I operate a café in this neighborhood.

That's right. Come to think of it,

you always come to scout out our café and steal our recipes, don't you?

What are you talking about?

My recipes are the product of my own creativity.

No one cares about that.

You gathered us here because you think one of us is the culprit, don't you?

We haven't said that yet.

We just thought we'd ask you some questions.

For someone to attack the manager in the bathroom,

they would've had to pass through this café where you could have seen them, correct?

Yes.

The only person who left this room while the manager was in the bathroom was...

Nonaka-san, I think.

H-Hold on.

I didn't do it.

But you're the only one who left his seat.

I just happened to go the bathroom then.

More importantly, Furukawa is way more suspicious than me.

He seemed nervous and had been behaving oddly since he entered the café.

I-I'm not nervous.

Now, now. Calm down.

Tell us one at a time.

What you did after the manager went to the bathroom.

I was frying donuts in the kitchen.

I never visited the tables during that time.

Come to think of it, we heard the donuts frying.

I-I was at my table the whole time.

Everyone here should've seen me.

Is that true?

Yes, we saw him.

Nonaka-san, how about you?

Me?

I certainly went to the bathroom,

but by the time I entered, the manager was already on the ground.

In other words, you're the only one who left his seat

to go to the bathroom when the crime took place.

So, what? That doesn't mean I did it.

But aren't you the manager of a rival café?

No.

This place sells donuts.

I sell waffles.

They're totally different genres of food.

Are they?

I guess they are.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Got it.

I'm sorry, but we'd like you to wait elsewhere.

We appreciate your understanding.

Based on the circumstances and testimony so far,

Nonaka-san seems suspicious.

But should we trust that?

Inspector Megure, we finished questioning the suspects.

First, sales have declined at the café Nonaka-san operates recently.

At this rate, he's not sure if his café will survive beyond a few more months.
