Nichiuri TV New Building Completion Commemorative Movie

The Legendary Kaiju

Yaiba Kick!

Or the Invincible Superhero

Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba

Production Announced!!

Isn't it amazing?

It's Gomera VS Yaiba!

It's a dream team-up!

I wanna see it now!

But since they're announcing production, they're probably starting filming now.

It won't be released for a while.

What? But I wanna see it now.

Anyway, I can't believe they're making a kaiju movie

to commemorate the construction of their new building.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Well, yeah.

But because of that, because of our strange connection to Gomera and Yaiba,

all of us were invited.

So good!

So, were you invited through your dad?

Nah, her.

Kaiju or superhero? Who will you support?!

Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba

Gomera is so cool!

Uh, yeah...

Kazuha-chan, I didn't know you like kaiju.

Gomera is special.

When I was a kid, I watched his movies at the theater with Heiji.

I was so moved!

Really?

But starting in "Forever," after "Final Battle," the actor inside the costume changed.

His movies have been kind of off for a while, but now we're getting this.

I'm so excited!

You sure know a lot about him.

I thought I knew everything about Kazuha, but there's still so much I don't know.

It'll be an instant classic.

Let's watch it together.

Heiji!

What?

Let's take a picture with Gomera!

Sheesh.

Give me a break.

He's still going, though.

I'm taking the picture.

Say cheese.

Gomera!

The rhythm on my lips is footloose!

The rhythm of my detective skills is perfect!

Taking a photo with Gomera!

A murder occurs at the grand opening of a new building!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba

"Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba, Prologue!"

New Nichiuri TV Building

Hello, everyone.

Thank you for coming to the Nichiuri TV New Building Completion Commemorative Movie

6th Floor Grand Hall

Nichiuri TV New Building Completion Commemorative Movie "Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba" Announcement Event

"Kaiju Gomera VS Kamen Yaiba" Announcement Event.

Yonekura Isato (43) Nichiuri TV Movie Production Department Chief Producer

I recognize that producer.

After this we'll be putting on a Kamen Yaiba show,

Yeah. They call him the hit maker of Nichiuri TV.

as well as announcing new kaiju, so don't miss it.

He even appears on TV sometimes.

He started making movies in the past few years.

We have preparations to make for the next event, so please talk amongst yourselves.

From TV to movies, huh?

Sorry to interrupt your dinner.

You're the great detective Mori Kogoro-san, aren't you?

Yes.

I'm Yonekura's subordinate.

Kosugi Hiromasa (32) Nichiuri TV Movie Production Department Producer

My name is Kosugi.

Nice to meet you.

I look forward to working with you at tomorrow's film shoot.

What? Film shoot?

Dad, it was written on the invitation!

W-Was it?

Yeah, mister.

They're filming a crowd scene at Osaka Castle Park tomorrow.

Crowd scene?

They're filming a scene in which people flee from the kaiju that appears at Osaka Castle!

Et... cetera?

Extras.

We're playing those extras, right?

We get to be in the movie, too, right?

Yes, of course.

Yes!

But since it's a crowd scene, there will be a lot of people there.

Then let's dress so we really stand out.

Like Kaito Kid?

Good idea!

Yonekura-san?

What's wrong? You were scowling.

Nothing. Just thinking.

See you later.

See you later.

Scenery Warehouse B Always Close the Door

Hey, Kosugi.

Where are you, Kosugi?

Jeez. You scared me.

Damn it. Why'd Onda have to do that?

They're giving us a rather long time to chat.

Yeah.

What's going on?

They seem flustered.

Yeah.

Hey, kid!

What's going on?

Wait...

What is that?

Excuse us!

Let us through!

Hey, you kids!

You can't go in there!

What's going on here?

W-Well...

Wh-What's this?!

Have you called the police?

Yes, just now.

Hey, don't touch the body!

Otaki Goro Osaka Police Division One Inspector

What an awful way to go.

Stabbed right in the stomach with a fang.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

The victim is Yonekura Isato.

He worked here as a producer.

I see. Anyway, it sure is dark in here.

Can't we make it any brighter?

I'm sorry.

The electrical system's having problems, so it doesn't get any brighter.

Jeez. In that case...

Hey, you there!

Yes?

Open the door. That'll make it a little brighter.

Well, actually...

This door closes unless it's propped open.

Are you stupid?

Then keep it open with a doorstop or something.

Now, now.

Either way, it doesn't look like this was foul play.

It shouldn't be a problem.

I guess...

You guys okay with that?

Are we okay? No matter how you look at it...

Look at the victim's right hand.

What about his right hand?

What's going on here?

The blood's been wiped off of just his pointer finger.

Yeah.

And look at the phone next to him.

The phone?

What's this?

I see. The fingerprint ID button...

The victim was probably conscious for a while after he was stabbed in the stomach.

He took out his phone and unlocked it.

And wiped the blood from his pointer finger so it would recognize his fingerprint.

Got it. I'll have the data on the phone analyzed immediately.

Yeah.

Inspector Otaki!

What?

Take a look at this rope.

I see. It's frayed, but this didn't break naturally.

Yeah.

It looks like a pretty tough rope, so they must've had some trouble cutting it.

Hey, there's some kind of scratch right here.

Yeah. That cut must have been made by the end of a knife or something.

A knife cut on the top of the shelf?

In other words, the culprit dropped the knife while cutting the rope, and cut the shelf there.

Yes.

But the cut is too small. I'm not sure we'll be able to identify the weapon.

Yeah, but now it's clear.

This wasn't an accident.

It's a murder.

Meeting Room 601

In Use

I can't believe what happened to Yonekura-san.

I don't know what's going on anymore.

So, how's the security of the warehouse that is the crime scene?

It's unlocked using these key cards.

Who had a key card?

Including Yonekura-san, I believe it was about fifteen people.

The new kaiju in there were being kept confidential

until they were announced at today's event,

so only a few people were allowed to enter the room.

I see.

That narrows down the suspects quite a bit.

Yeah.

Excuse me.
