Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Wow.

Isn't it wonderful, Conan-kun?

It really is!

Guess we're not the only ones here...

Shinjuku

Huh?

I thought there were other people here.

They're probably not in the bathroom

all together, are they?

This is kind of like

what happened to that ship.

You mean the Mystery of the Mary Celeste?

Oh, yeah! That's the one!

The Mystery of the Mary Celeste?

Yeah.

It's a famous unsolved case from the 19th Century.

If I remember right, a crew of ten people disappeared into thin air,

and then the boat was found adrift.

There was hot soup and silverware left out,

making you thinking they were still eating.

The situation is similar.

What was that?

Kuchiishi-san!

Kuchiishi Eigo (28) Chef

You're Kuchiishi-san the chef, right?

Y-Yes...

Get it together! Can you tell me what happened?

Dad...

Curse

Ran, get an ambulance and call the police!

Got it!

Look, mister!

Footprints?

Curse

Feel that bright morning sunlight!

Saturday is when the love and cases start!

The word "Curse" and five sets of footprints.

What happened during this meal?!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Mystery of the Michelin Starred Restaurant

"The Mystery of the Michelin Starred Restaurant!"

Thankfully, that head wound isn't very severe.

Can we ask you a few questions, Kuchiishi-san?

Sure.

Now, there were five guests at that table? You're certain?

Right.

They made their reservations a week ago.

It was a group from a company called Onda Trading.

I see.

Inspector!

It's about the identities of the missing group.

Sitting where those glasses are...

That was Kano Kozo, forty years old.

Kano Kozo (40) Employee at Onda Trading

We confirmed his ID from his driver's license, which was left behind.

We confirmed the guy next to him from the employee ID in his jacket,

which was still on the chair.

Iketani Kazuki (28) Onda Trading Employee

Iketani Kazuki-san, twenty-eight years old.

Next to him was a floral handkerchief and a bag containing an employee ID

Ekuni Mitsuyo (38) Onda Trading Employee

for Ekuni Mitsuyo-san, aged thirty-eight.

The seat with the ash tray next to her belonged to Sahara Takuro-san,

thirty-five years old.

Sahara Takuro (35) Onda Trading Employee

We gathered that from the cigarettes and employee ID in his coat pocket.

The last one we put together from the smart phone that was left behind.

Manaka Kaori (25) Onda Trading Employee

Manaka Kaori-san, twenty-five years old.

Onda Trading

Director and President Onda Teruaki

Employees Kano Kazuki Sahara Takuro Iketani Kazuki Ekuni Mitsuyo Manaka Kaori

They all work at Onda Trading.

The company homepage confirms as much.

Kuchiishi-san, can you confirm they're who you saw?

Onda Trading...

Where have I heard that?

Yes, that's definitely them.

We haven't been able to contact President Onda,

so we had local police check on his home to be safe.

Hey, Detective Takagi...

When we came in, there was a picture on the phone...

Those are the same people, right?

Yeah, that's right.

I don't know how close they were,

but apparently the five of them would go out a lot together,

because there were pictures of them partying in various locations.

I bet they planned on taking one here, too...

So, all five of them came here?

Right.

They came in about an hour ago, in a car.

That'd be twenty minutes before we showed up.

Wait, back then...

What happened next?

They made a toast,

and I went into the kitchen to continue cooking.

I served the appetizers and soups.

And then after about fifteen minutes, I was struck from out of nowhere.

You didn't see who hit you, then?

Right.

It certainly sounds like someone from that group was the one to strike you...

Ei

Isn't this...?

A mis-written receipt?

Hey, Kuchiishi-san...

This is that cake called tiramisu, right?

That's right.

Everyone else was eating dinner.

How come one had cake?

You get people like that sometimes,

who want to start with dessert.

I bet the lady who sat here sure loved sweets.

That might be the case.

That should be obvious!

Quit screwing with the crime scene.

Sorry!

In that case, get out of the—

One more thing!

Did someone break their glass when they did the toast?

I... don't think so.

I would've noticed if they did, not to mention having to clean up.

That's what I thought...

The trash can in the kitchen was empty, too.

One other thing, the car outside—

That's enough out of you!

Ow!

You can't just run around on your own, you know?

Sorry...

Let's wait out here together.

Okay...

Isn't that...?

What did you say?!

Understood!

Inspector!

It's about Onda Trading...

Three years ago,

the company was under suspicion for smuggling industrial metals,

and there was an investigation.

But one of the other managers left a note claiming they were responsible for all of it,

and committed suicide.

Huh, hell of a case.

Then the five employees from this incident might've been involved?

Also,

the manager who killed himself was named Kuchiishi Keigo.

What?!

That's the same family name as the chef!

Inspector Megure!

Look what's on Kuchiishi-san's blog!

Curse

"What happened to my customers?"

What?

Sir, you really shouldn't do this sort of thing...

Kuchiishi-san is gone!

Where'd he go?

Is that...

Curse

Kuchiishi-san!

Don't tell me...

Did he walk into the lake, like the five customers?

Th-That's impossible!

Takagi, Chiba!

I want this lake checked out ASAP!

We can't afford to wait until dawn!

Yes, sir!

I figured as much.

Is it really okay that I'm the only one not searching the lake?

It's okay!

Inspector Megure told me that Detective Chiba

was going to check out the lake with the local police.

Still...

Did Mori-san really tell us to look around here?

Yep!

Curse Curse

See?

Look close...

D-Don't do that, Conan-kun!

You can't just grab evidence!

Lake

Restaurant

Warehouse

See?

That's a map!

Yep!

If the lake is over here,

then this is the restaurant.

And our goal is here!

We're almost there.

Ei

Isn't this...?

Yep. Just like that chef, Eigo-san.

Maybe it's like his signature?

So this is a warehouse that Kuchiishi-san owns.

Did you hear that?!

Open it up, Detective Takagi!

Got it!

These people...

The five missing guests.

They're not wearing their shoes...
