Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Fire safety!

This feels so nostalgic.

It's like a historical drama.

No, this is what you call Showa.

I can't believe grade school kids are talking about nostalgia and the Showa era.

Anyway, it's been bothering me.

There's been a string of them, right?

You mean the arson cases.

There was one four days ago, and another two days ago.

And once every two days means...

Yeah. Tonight—

What's going on?

Is that...

Seriously?

Hello? There's a fire!

Yes! Something's on fire!

Was that man we saw earlier...?

He could be the arsonist.

No way.

Huh?

I know that guy.

What?!

Solving crimes with sharp detective skills.

Love and cases never change.

The hand of an arsonist sneaks up on a children's park free of fire hazards.

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Pitfall of Fire Precautions

"The Pitfall of Fire Precautions!"

Is it true, Genta-kun?

I'm sure of it.

When I go to buy an eel lunch, he always buys an extra large seaweed lunch.

That's not what I meant.

You're sure he's the arsonist from yesterday, right?

If he's someone else, we could get in trouble.

Found it.

Series of Fires at Children's Park

Culprit on the Run

Fourth Incident Produces Casualty!

That's last year's case.

It's been bothering me, too.

It's been happening at the same places, including yesterday's location.

Yeah. They're children's parks in a three by three kilometer area.

The fires started over the course of two weeks.

Though the fourth case produced a casualty,

and the suspect was never arrested, the incidents stopped.

And one year later, in the same places using the same methods, it's started again.

It could be a copycat.

Yeah, but it could also be that last year's arsonist is back.

Him! That's him!

Shh! Not so loud, Genta-kun!

That's definitely the man from yesterday!

Kamaishi Suguru (25) Job-hopper

The usual, please.

Sure thing. Your usual extra large seaweed lunch, coming right up.

Yatabe Harue (48) Part-time Employee

Your kinpira is the best.

No, I'm not just saying that.

Seriously? You're giving me that much extra?

Aw, shucks!

Is it because we're both left-handed?

Here's your change.

Thank you, ma'am!

You're hopeless.

You should eat a salad sometime.

Whoa! Have I set a flame in your heart?

Am I the arsonist of forbidden love?

What?

Just kidding!

See you later.

He's goofing around.

He's definitely suspicious.

Let's expose his true identity.

The Detective Boys are on the case!

Yeah!

What are you going to do?

Shouldn't we let the police handle this?

What? Yeah, I guess...

But he was only near the scene of the crime yesterday.

Then we'll have to make sure.

Yeah.

I'm hungry.

You just had three pork buns from the convenience store!

I should've had an eel lunch, too.

Yeah, yeah.

What are we going to do if he goes to bed?

So far the fires have been happening every other day,

so there might not be one tonight.

Uh, oh.

He went to bed.

Oh, well.

Okay, let's go.

We lost him.

Damn.

Where did he go?

Through the third incident yesterday, the fires have been starting in the same places.

If the fourth is about to occur, then...

It'll be in the same place as the fourth fire.

Hey, wait!

Let's go, Genta-kun!

But I'm hungry...

This is where the fourth fire started.

Last year, the first victim was found here.

A drunk office worker sleeping while wrapped up in a construction tarp died.

Parks are creepy at night.

They should add more lights.

It's still pretty bright since there's a high-rise apartment.

But with all these people living here, were there really no witnesses?

It is on the side of the north-facing alley.

It's out.

That was close...

We escaped by a hair.

We're saved.

Are you okay?

The arsonist!

Hey, I just saved you. Don't call me that.

Wait, damn. He got away again.

Again?

Is that what happened yesterday, too?

Yeah. I was so close.

Why?

What?

Did you think this could be related to last years fires, too?

Is that why you've been on the lookout?

Uh, yeah.

So why would you do that?

Because...

It's only natural.

If it is the same person as last year, I need to catch him myself.

And who are you kids, anyway?

We're...

The Detective Boys!

The Detective Boys?

Thank you for rescuing us from danger.

Sorry for mistaking you for the arsonist.

You should've said something sooner, mister!

We're on the same side!

The same side?

Yeah, that's right!

I'm a one-man detective squad who rose up to protect this city from the evil arsonist!

A one-man detective squad?

I don't think you need "squad" if there's only one of you.

I see.

That's all for today.

I'd better be going, then.

What?

You're leaving?

What about the arsonist?

Leave it to the one-man detective squad!

It's too dangerous for just you kids!

We should work together.

We're protecting the city.

Don't be so standoffish, mister!

Is there some reason that wouldn't be good for you?

O-Of course not.

Then it's decided!

Our new detective team has been formed!

All right!

Sheesh. I don't have time for kids—

What?

Good morning!

Yeah...

Sumire Park

This is the scene of the first fire.

Last year that swing was set on fire.

And this year it was this seesaw.

So, what are we doing here?

We're reviewing the case.

For example, how did the fire start?

And we'll find witnesses to question.

If there were witnesses,

wouldn't the police have arrested the arsonist a long time ago?

Right, mister?

Well, yeah.

Anyway, I haven't had breakfast yet.

Me, neither!

You had your breakfast!

I did, but I'm already hungry again!

Damn.

What are we going to do?

The police would have already conducted a general investigation.

Yeah, you're right.

Tsutsuji Park

Last year, these monkey bars were set on fire.

And that arched bridge was the second fire.

Indeed.

Man, I'm hungry.

Maybe I'll have some ramen.

Me, too!

Toward Beika

It's not time for lunch yet, Genta-kun!

The investigation comes first!

You, too, mister!

Sorry, sorry.

Himawari Park

This is the third and the day before yesterday's crime scene.

The jungle gym was set on fire.

Last year it was that horse.

Aw, I'm hungry.
