Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Haido Central Hospital

Camel!

Jodie-san.

Is everything okay?

What do you mean?

Amuro's a member of the Organization.

He didn't sweet talk any secrets out of you, did he?

N-No.

Didn't you just say that?

What do you mean?

So, how'd it go?

You were right about your man Kusuda.

He shot himself.

Inside his own car.

I knew it.

What? Vermouth?

The Jodie-san I saw earlier was her disguised as you?

When Kusuda disappeared,

there was another man who was shot in the head and burned.

Yes.

FBI investigator

Akai Shuichi.

Impossible!

You're saying he's alive?

Yes, if I'm right.

Kudo

Yes?

Delivery.

Good evening.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Amuro Toru.

I see...

But this isn't the first time we've met, is it?

Propelled forward by the years spent together.

Charging full speed ahead without slowing the pace.

We've never seen a battle like this.

Amuro and Okiya go one-on-one.

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Next up is the award for Production Design.

Presenting the award is Mr. David Carpenter.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

David, the work you've done this year has been fantastic.

Your performance in your latest film was incredible.

Your voice was trembling when you received the award last year.

Thank you for waiting.

You ended up with the nickname "Trembling David."

Do you like mysteries?

Yes, I suppose.

Let's start there, then.

It's a simple corpse swap trick.

Really? That's a standard trick.

The Scarlet Return

"The Scarlet Return!"

A man was shot in the head at Raiha Pass.

He was burned along with his car.

The fingerprints taken from his right hand, which barely escaped the fire,

matched the fingerprints on a boy's phone he had picked up while he was still alive,

verifying the dead man's identity.

But it's strange.

What's strange?

The fingerprints on the phone.

The man was a lefty,

but for some reason his right hand's fingerprints were on the phone.

Don't you find that odd?

Maybe he had something in his dominant hand when picked up the phone.

Or he was forced to pick it up with his right hand.

Why would that be?

Because another man had picked up the phone before he did.

And that man was right handed.

Another man?

Yes.

Though, in reality, they meant to make three men pick up the phone.

Now, I have a question.

The first man was a fat, greasy fellow.

The second was a skinny man with a neck brace.

The third was an old man with a pacemaker.

Of these three men, only one of their fingerprints were on the phone.

Whose do you think they were?

The second thin man.

The fat man's fingerprints were wiped off.

They didn't want to make the other two pick up a greasy phone.

The old man would worry that the phone's radio waves

could cause problems with his pacemaker,

so he likely didn't pick it up at all.

That's right.

But the dead man touched that phone after the thin man, right?

Shouldn't his fingerprints be on it, too?

What if he made sure that wouldn't happen?

The man anticipated this would happen, so he coated his fingertips...

...with a film.

That's right. Shu must have coated his fingertips with a clear adhesive.

To be safe, on both his hands.

What do you mean?

When he grabbed Conan-kun's phone.

The coating on his fingers prevented his fingerprints from getting on the phone.

That's why Shu dropped that can of coffee.

The coating on his fingers made them slippery.

Then whose fingerprints were on the phone?

Not Shu's.

Kusuda Rikumichi's, the man who touched the phone before him.

Which means the corpse shot in the head and burned at Raiha Pass...

Yes. It was Kusuda Rikumichi's body.

I'm not exactly sure, but Shu must've had the body dressed like himself in his car,

pretended to get shot by Mizunashi Rena, and switched places with the body.

I see.

That's a very interesting mystery.

But how did the man who pretended to be shot leave?

Before I answer that, could you turn off the TV?

This is an important conversation we're having.

Can't we leave it on?

I'm interested in the results of the Macademy Awards.

So how did the man leave?

He was probably working with the woman who shot him,

so he sneaked into her car and escaped,

out of sight of the men watching them from a distance.

So they were being watched.

Yes, and the men watching them were fooled.

After all, the man was bleeding from his head.

Bleeding from his head?

But that was fake as well.

The man who was shot always wore a black knit hat.

Your neighbor invents devices that could put MI6 so shame.

He could easily create a device that would shoot blood out when a blank was fired.

So he asked the woman working with him to shoot him in the head.

No, one of the observers told her to shoot him in the head.

He knew he would.

The observer always finished people off that way.

I don't believe it.

Akai-san touched that phone before we allowed them to recover Mizunashi Rena.

Did Akai-san already know she would be ordered to kill him?

Yes.

Shu knew that much.

He's quite the clever man.

He sounds like the protagonist of a spy novel.

But someone else came up with this plan.

Using the phone covered in his fingerprints...

You can borrow my phone for a while.

No, it wasn't Shu.

Yes.

Someone else.

Could it be?

Jodie-sensei.

Uh, you know...

Do your best.

What the man said before he was shot proves it.

To think you went this far...

So he said.

"To think you went this far?"
