Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Inside "Mokujin," a trick box made by Samizu Kichiemon,

is the big jewel and Kaito Kid's target "Luna Memoria."

And the instructions to open the box

can be found in one of ten thousand books donated to the Suzuki Library.

It's worth finding, don't you think?

This is way too many...

Is it possible your husband hid the page somewhere else?

No.

Tomoyose Kimika Widow

My husband died last month in an unfortunate traffic accident.

He couldn't have foreseen that and hidden the page elsewhere.

Then maybe it's in a book you wouldn't normally read.

You're right.

I tend not to read

murder mysteries or monster stories.

Huh? Sonoko, did you put on some makeup?

While we were in the bathroom.

After all, Kid-sama is coming.

I need to dress up for him.

Even if he does come, the anti-theft mechanisms

and trick box will probably prevent him from taking the moonstone.

Not even that pretentious thief could manage that.

I wouldn't be so sure.

This presence...

It's him.

He's nearby.

Who?

Who is he disguised as?

Feel that bright morning sunlight!

Saturday is when the love and cases start!

I'll see through the disguise of the thief coming after the trick box full of memories!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Kaito Kid and the Trick Box

"Kaito Kid and the Trick Box, Part Two!"

Suzuki Library

The old man hasn't been coughing

since he came back from the bathroom.

Akai-san seems more interested in his surroundings than his book.

The professor spent too long in the bathroom.

The only ones who aren't suspicious are Jirokichi and the old woman.

With the remote for the security devices,

he'd have plenty of opportunities to swap out the box.

And Kid wouldn't get so upset over the box getting wet.

What about Ran and Sonoko?

Kid's disguised himself as them before, hasn't he?

What's wrong?

There's a book up there that I'm interested in,

but I can't reach it.

I could probably get it if I used a ladder,

but they're both being used.

I'll hold your chair for you.

Thanks.

I'll use their heights to identify them.

Since they're both about as tall as the professor...

Huh?

I can almost see her underwear...

No, wait. It could be Kid disguised as her.

But these thighs are definitely...

What a nice view.

Oh, uh...

You may look like a child, but you're a dirty old man on the inside.

Pervert.

It's no use. I can't reach it.

I was just observing her to see if it was Kid in disguise.

We'll have to wait for one of the ladders to open up.

So you're a huge pervert.

Yeah, sorry I'm such a pervert!

Anyway, can't you sense his presence, too?

Who knows? I don't feel anything.

Aside from him, couldn't he be anybody?

He's the only one who's been in this room the whole time.

No.

It's possible he's been disguised as Okiya Subaru all along and snuck in that way.

Damn it.

Everyone's starting to look suspicious...

Here. Isn't this the book you wanted?

Thanks!

What's this?

"13 Conditions For Dating a Detective?"

Don't look!

I'm not sure if it will help,

but embarrassingly enough,

my husband and I kept an exchange diary when we were students.

Exchange Diary

It was a very strange diary.

Strange how?

We agreed that my husband would write on the left,

and I would write on the right.

But I couldn't fit all the day's events

or how I felt about my husband on a single page.

So I'd fill three whole pages

so my husband could write on the left.

But my husband only ever wrote a few sentences.

Maybe he just wasn't much of a writer.

That's what I though at the time.

But just after we got married,

I found the exchange diary on my husband's desk.

As I was reading the awkward writing of my younger self

with feelings of embarrassment and nostalgia,

I suddenly came across two full pages

of my husband's writing

that I didn't recognize

from our days as students.

My husband took it from me immediately after that.

You can't read that. It's secret.

I haven't seen the exchange diary since.

I wonder what that was.

Perhaps it's related to the piece of paper we can't find.

Maybe the pages were glued together.

Your husband may have been eating rice balls while reading that page.

A grain of rice could've fallen between the pages.

My husband was a very shy man.

I had his mother teach me.

If any water got inside...

It was a very strange diary.

If you're able to find that paper,

you should be able to find the true contents of the box.

Ah, that face.

Looks like you've figured it out, too, Detective.

Both where that paper is and the true contents of the box.

What?

You figured out where the written instructions to open the box are?

Yeah.

And why we haven't been able to find it.

Conan-kun, what do you mean?

You're not just making things up, are you?

Could I borrow a notebook and pen?

Will these work?

Thanks.

First, we'll tear out a single page.

And tear that page in half again.

On the front and back of the torn page, we'll draw a circle.

There. Now study it carefully and remember what it looks like.

Okay.

It's just a circle, right?

Once you've memorized it, can you put it back inside the notebook?

Here.

Thanks.

Abracadabra.

I command this paper to disappear!

Here.

Now you can't find it.

Don't be ridiculous!

By flipping through it, it should instantly...

Huh?

This can't be possible.

It must be in here somewhere.

Huh?

I-It disappeared?

Wow!

You didn't secretly take it out, did you?

I wouldn't do that.

After all...

See? It's still in here.

No way!

How?

The trick is in the edge of the page.

See how the bottom edge of the page is slightly torn where the paper is?

Let me see that.

That makes it so it doesn't get caught on your finger

when you flip through it so you skip over that page.

You're right.

If you flip through the pages while holding them from the top,

you'll find the paper.

You're right.

It's like a magic trick.

I tore the edge of the page while you were all looking at the paper.

The old woman's husband probably used

the same trick in the exchange diary she mentioned.

Her husband was a shy man,

so he made it so the pages

he wrote on would be skipped over.

The old woman was able to find them because she was carefully

turning each page while reading the sections she wrote.

But, boy,

unless we know which of these ten thousand books uses the same trick...

I figured that out, too.

What?

Even if you make the instructions hard to find,

you'd eventually find them if you turned each page like the old woman did.

Yes.

But your husband said you'd never find them, right?

Y-Yes.

So it's between some pages you'd never turn.

But Subaru-san and Ai-chan examined the mystery novels
