Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Haido Central Hospital

I can't believe she poisoned her own guest.

I wonder if this hospital is cursed.

What?

There were rumors announcer Mizunashi Rena was a patient here.

An injured man caused a panic trying to force his way into a room.

There was a bomb scare, too.

D-Detective Takagi!

Shouldn't you go back to the station?

Oh, no!

You don't know anything about a man named Kusuda Rikumichi, do you?

Kusuda Rikumichi?

Come to think of it, we found a damaged vehicle a few days before the bomb scare.

It belonged to a Kusuda Rikumichi.

What?

It was a mysterious case.

There was blood all over the inside of the damaged vehicle.

Some of the bloodstains were less than a millimeter across.

Bloodstains less than a millimeter across from a high speed blood spray...

According to forensics...

A gun.

Propelled forward by the years spent together.

Charging full speed ahead without slowing the pace.

A mysterious case at Haido Park.

A scarlet secret begins to unravel.

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Haido Elementary School

Hello?

Oh, Jodie. What's wrong?

Did we say we'd go drinking today?

Have you gotten used to your elementary school teaching job?

Yeah. Everyone loves their beautiful teacher who returned from abroad

Shibuya Natsuko (28) Elementary School Teacher

is what I'd like to say.

But it's a lot of hard work.

I'm supposed to meet some parents after this.

I see.

I guess you can't go drinking tonight.

Yeah, sorry.

Anyway, why are you still in Japan?

Your undercover investigation is over, right?

Hey, I invited you out for drinks.

I've got my own reasons.

Official secrets, right?

That's right.

I'll call you later.

Was that your friend?

Yes. She got involved in a case while studying abroad in America.

And I saved her.

We've known each other since.

Really?

She also taught me Japanese and helped me go undercover as an English teacher.

I guess we're teacher friends.

I see.

So who are we waiting for?

Shibuya Natsuko, twenty-eight years old.

Elementary school teacher.

Who is she?

My client and someone who might help me fill in the last piece I'm looking for.

And what piece is that?

Did someone fall down the stairs?

Let's go.

We can't draw attention to—

This woman...

Yes.

I think I'll complete the puzzle soon.

The Scarlet Prologue

"The Scarlet Prologue!"

Teitan Elementary School

Hey, Conan!

Let's play soccer on the way home!

Huh?

He's not here!

He rushed out when the bell rang.

Over there!

Is someone picking him up?

It must be the man from the detective agency.

No.

What?

That's an expensive foreign car.

That old man wouldn't rent that kind of car.

Oh, right.

Could it be Jodie-sensei's car, then?

It wouldn't be strange for a foreigner to drive a foreign car.

Come on.

Forget about that mystery nut.

Let's go home.

The professor said he was buying cake.

It looks like Edogawa-kun doesn't want any.

Let's enjoy it without him.

Let's go!

Yes...

That's the FBI car I saw before.

Your priority is retrieving the transmitter and bug.

If you hesitate out of curiosity or some sense of righteousness,

you'll lose everything!

Yeah, I know.

But since he didn't tell me anything,

something must be happening.

Something is happening out of my sight.

Ai-chan!

What are you doing?

I'm hungry! Hurry up!

I'll be right there.

What kind of cake is it?

Let's eat it together.

Yes.

Kusuda Rikumichi? Oh.

The organization spy who infiltrated Mizunashi Rena's hospital.

He ran when his cover was blown.

Once Shu cornered him, he shot himself in the head.

Right?

Yeah.

What about him?

Tell the FBI to keep it a secret.

The organization's man Bourbon...

Amuro Toru is conducting an investigation.

Of course!

Did you make me pick you up just to tell me that?

Yeah. Cell phones are easily tapped.

Besides, there's something else.

Maybe...

Maybe Amuro is...

Three, two, one...

Zero!

Ah, sorry.

I'm going to pull over so I can answer this.

What? Natsuko's gravely injured?

She fell down the stairs at Haido Park?

Which hospital?

I'll head right there.

Actually, we'd like you to come to the crime scene.

What? The crime scene?

Yes. We're at the scene where she fell.

The history on her phone we found in the park

showed she spoke with you before eight last night.

That's right.

I called her then.

Wait. Did she not fall by accident?

No.

According to the person who reported it from a nearby public phone,

someone pushed her.

Hello? Jodie-san?

A-Anyway, I'll be right there.

I'll meet you at the stairs at Haido Park.

Jodie-san.

Camel! What are you doing here?

You called her from my phone last night, right?

Yours was dead.

That's why the police contacted me first.

Her history showed you called one hour before it was reported.

What?

One hour before?

Natsuko didn't fall today?

It happened at nine last night.

She didn't have her wallet or phone on her.

We couldn't identify her until this afternoon.

But we knew she was a teacher.

We followed that lead and discovered the victim was Shibuya Natsuko-san.

Later, we found her phone abandoned inside the park and asked you to come.

How is Natsuko?

She dented her skull.

She made it through surgery, but she's still unconscious.

I see...

Natsuko-san was probably attacked for her money

on her way home from work, and was pushed down the stairs.

Yes. We're investigating that possibility.

Hey.

How did you know she was a teacher?

Oh.

There were a bunch of answer sheets inside her bag.

Wait, Conan-kun? What are you doing here?

W-We were just on a drive together.

Were those answer sheets blank without anything written on them?

Huh?

Actually, they were all filled in and graded.

I think some had even scored 100 points and had flower circles on them.

I don't think she was attacked here, then.

What?

Kobayashi-sensei said you're not supposed to take home completed answer sheets.
