Detective Conan Episode 985 "The Two Faces (Part One)"

Mori Detective Agency

I'm so bored.

When detectives are bored, doesn't that mean the world is at peace?

Well, yeah.

Yes?

Come in.

Is this the Mori Detective Agency?

Yes.

She's beautiful!

Here you go.

Thank you.

So, what did you want to discuss?

Well...

I hadn't introduced myself yet.

My name is Muto Masako.

Muto Masako (36) Housewife

Masako-san. That's a beautiful name.

Anyway, I'd like you to find someone for me.

My husband Muto Issei.

You want me to find your husband?

Your husband, huh?

Find the question that solves the mystery!

Apply miraculous detective skills to the secrets of the heart!

An odd request from a beautiful wife,

and the suspicious behavior of her beloved husband!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Two Faces

"The Two Faces, Part One!"

I don't know what to do.

I see.

Mister, talk to her.

Uh, right.

Could you describe the events leading up to your husband's disappearance?

In as much detail as possible, please.

All right.

My husband Muto Issei runs a trading company that imports and sells goods from overseas.

Muto Issei (45) Self-employed

We got married six months ago.

I believed our relationship was nothing short of perfect.

Until that happened...

What happened?

Last week, I went to a restaurant to have lunch with some friends.

As I was heading home after finishing lunch and parting ways with my friends,

I spotted my husband.

I thought he was there for a meeting and tried to call out to him...

But I saw him speaking intimately with a woman I didn't recognize.

I was curious about what their relationship was and followed them.

Happens all the time.

But they parted ways without doing anything in particular,

so I decided to say hello to him.

Issei-san!

Huh?

Issei-san, what are you doing here?

He ran?

Yes.

At full speed.

I did my best to chase after my fleeing husband.

But by the time I reached the river,

I had lost sight of him.

I wasn't sure if I should,

but I ended up calling the police.

But I doubt they understood even half of what I had to say.

I waited at home for a while to hear from them,

but it seemed like they weren't making any progress,

so I decided to visit you.

I see.

A wise decision.

Please. I can't sleep at night like this.

Could you please find my husband?

You can count on me.

I swear on my good name that I will find your husband.

Thank you.

By the way, do you have any idea why your husband might have disappeared?

No, I have no idea.

Like I said before, I didn't think we had any problems until now.

I see.

Did you notice anything odd when you lost track of your husband?

Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!

Come to think of it, I don't know if it's related to the case,

but I think a vehicle drove away just as I arrived.

First, I'd like to investigate your husband's office.

Very well.

What are you doing here?

Ran-neechan told me to go with you since she's worried about you.

Jeez.

This is it.

Why do I feel like something's not right?

Boy.

This way.

Okay!

This is my husband's office.

Is it all right if I investigate the room?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

What the heck is going on?

There's nothing suspicious among the documents in his desk.

There's nothing odd inside his closet either.

This room doesn't feel lived in.

Yeah.

There's hardly anything personal in here.

I have no idea where we're supposed to begin.

Then how about this?

What's this?

A starting point.

Let's see...

This is it.

No matter how you look at it, this is clearly a first-rate corporation.

Muto Trading Company, Muto Trading Company...

It's not here.

What's going on here?

Excuse me. I'm Mori Kogoro, a detective.

I'd like to meet with Muto-san of the Muto Trading Company.

Very well. Do you have an appointment?

No.

One moment, please.

Hello? There's a detective here at reception named Mori Kogoro.

He says he'd like to speak with Muto-san.

Yes.

No, he doesn't.

Yes.

Yes.

Understood.

I'm sorry. Muto is currently out of the office.

I'd be happy to meet with another employee.

But without an appointment—

Mister, over here.

I don't think we'll find any employees here.

After all, this place is a virtual office.

A what?

A virtual office is an imaginary office young companies use to reduce costs.

It allows them to acquire a prestigious address like this one for cheap.

It may be imaginary, but there must be someone receiving phone calls and mail.

Those are set up to be forwarded, too.

What's going on here?

Why was the husband renting an imaginary office here?

So this is where Masako-san lost sight of her husband.

The question is what happened here?

If he fled the moment he saw Masako-san's face,

we can assume he chose to disappear.

But why did he flee when he saw his wife?

Why did he flee to this river?

There must be some reason he came here.

That means...

Was he attacked by someone, or did he fall into the river?

Was it an accident, or was there foul play?

There should be some evidence around here backing up Masako-san's story.

Why won't her husband contact her?

Mister, over here!

Did you find something?

Look at this.

Those are tire tracks.

These might be from the vehicle Masako-san said she saw driving away.

Judging by the width of the tracks, it might be a microcar.

You're saying the president of a trading company ran off in a microcar?

I don't know that, but...

Hello?

Ah, Masako-san.

Yes.

Yes.

What?

Understood. I'll head there immediately.

Beika Police Station

Mori-san, thank you for coming.

What's this about a wallet they found?

This is it.
