Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Detective Conan Episode 972 "Target: MPD Transportation Department (Part Two)"

After finishing her shift, Sergeant Miike Naeko sang away her troubles

over Detective Chiba at a karaoke box with two senior female officers.

On the way home...

Are you okay? Can you handle her?

Yagi Shiori (28) Transportation Department

Momosaki Toko (28) Transportation Department

I'll be fine.

Chiba-kun... You big dummy...

Excuse me.

I've been hearing the sound of a small girl crying in the park bathroom for a while.

Could you go check it out?

Is someone there?

I knew it. I'd sensed an odd presence recently.

I'm a cop.

Looks like you chose the wrong target for your trap.

I didn't choose wrong.

I didn't choose the wrong target!

The body of Sergeant Momosaki was discovered in the park.

Next to it was a bent 100 yen coin.

There was also a mark that led us to believe the body had been pointing at something.

And in the direction she was pointing was...

The rhythm on my lips is footloose!

The rhythm of my detective skills is perfect!

Risking her life to send a message!

Stop the chain of assault cases!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Target: MPD Transportation Department

"Target: MPD Transportation Department, Part Two!"

Please stand back.

Yes.

Not yet.

Were the victim Sergeant Momosaki and Lieutenant Yagi close?

Yeah, apparently they were high school classmates.

Weren't you, too, Yumi-san?

You called them a bunch of times while we were at the karaoke box.

You again, Yumi?

If you have time to call, come sing with us.

It'll be just like high school.

Yeah, that's right. You should join us, Yumi-san.

Oh, that.

That's someone different.

That was their classmate Yumiko.

Yumiko-san?

I think she works as a hostess in Ginza these days.

And they called that friend Yumi?

I told them to call her something else since it's confusing.

So, you really have no idea if anyone resented Sergeant Momosaki?

I can think of way too many people who might have resented her, justified or not.

Oh, but three of the traffic violators

they fined made a bunch of complaints.

When was that? Where did the incidents occur?

It was a week ago.

I think all three were at an intersection on Fifth Street in Beika City.

Fifth Street is right next to the Mori Detective Agency.

Do you remember those three?

Yeah.

Miike and I helped question them.

I wrote their names down.

The first was Aono Kengo-san, who was not only using his phone while driving,

Aono Kengo

but didn't have a driver's license.

The second, who was driving a motorcycle against traffic without a helmet on,

Akamine Manji

was Akamine Manji-san.

The third was Shiroyama Yuzo-san,

who was driving a vehicle with an expired inspection without a seat belt on.

Shiroyama Yuzo

All three seemed to be in a big hurry.

Since they tried to flee before they were issued tickets,

they were forced to arrest them for interference of public duties.

Those three sound suspicious.

According to what we heard earlier,

Sergeant Momosaki felt someone had been following her since about a week ago, too.

Damn.

I thought the old man might have seen something,

but a week ago he was off on a trip with the neighborhood association.

But wait.

Maybe Poirot's Amuro-san saw something.

Hey, Conan!

We're going to school!

O-Okay!

How did it go?

The victim was a female police officer with the transportation department.

What? A policewoman was killed?

This is a serious case.

That's so scary.

Right, Ai-chan?

Yeah...

I find a kid who barges into a crime scene far scarier, Kudo-kun.

Is something wrong?

Not really.

Sounds like we'll have to share what we have on those three traffic violators.

I'll pass the word on.

I'll also see if I can find anything else.

Please do.

Well, we're heading back to our post.

Let us know if there are any developments.

Okay.

Miike!

Incorrect passcode has been entered ten times Reformatting device

Damn!

I'm impressed you found this place.

I asked one of your colleagues from work.

They said you'd be here if you weren't at home.

Japan's police truly are exceptional.

I knew it!

You're the one who killed Toko!

Well? What do the exceptional police want with me?

Have you come to get revenge on me?

Turn yourself in.

It's not too late.

Turn yourself in immediately.

You'll follow the established rules and accept the judgment of the law.

Exceptional and rigidly follows the rules.

You truly are an insect.

Hold on!

Just one more.

MPD to all stations.

A woman bleeding from the head

has been discovered in an alleyway off Third Street in Haido City.

All officers and patrols in the neighborhood, please head to the location.

That's nearby, Chiba-kun.

Let's check it out.

C-Commissioner Kuroda.

What are you doing here?

I happened to be in the area, so I came to the scene.

But now it's clear.

What? What is it?

One of the officers who arrived knew her.

The victim is Lieutenant Yagi Shiori of the MPD Transportation Department.

And next to her body is a 100 yen coin stuck inside her phone.

Just like the one found next to the body of the officer

discovered in the park this morning, it was deliberately bent.

100 yen coins are engraved with a cherry blossom.

It goes without saying that the cherry blossom is the emblem of the Japanese police.

Th-Then this is...

Yes, without a doubt.

This case is a serial murder of female police officers.

What? Seriously?

Someone died at the bottom of an apartment building.

No way.

Where? Nearby?

There's a ton of police here... Apparently someone fell from the building... Crap, someone's dead I happened to be there Someone died...

Apartment Incident

Crap, someone's dead I happened to be there Someone died... Someone's dead in Haido City on Third Street

All these cops Something serious is going on

The victim was MPD Transportation Department Lieutenant Yagi Shiori,

twenty-eight years old.

Judging by the body's condition, she died from the fall.

She was probably pushed from this apartment building's external stairs.

Not only that, but like the body of Sergeant Momosaki that was discovered this morning,

a bent 100 yen coin was left at the scene.

Because 100 yen coins are engraved with a cherry blossom,

the emblem of the police,

it's extremely likely that these crimes were committed by an individual who resents the police.

Naturally, all female officers like the victims,

as well as all other officers, should be on their guard.

Don't overlook any illegal activity when you arrest the suspect.

Yes, sir!

Let's canvas the area first.

Yeah. We'll start with this apartment building.

Let's split up and ask around.

Commissioner Kuroda, we'll see you later at the investigation meeting.

Yeah.

What is it, Sato?

Something on your mind?

Nothing. It's just Lieutenant Yagi's face...

We believe the wound on her right temporal region

was inflicted when she fell to the ground.

In that case, it would be more natural for the wound to be facing the ground,

but it's currently facing upwards, in the opposite direction, instead.

Then there's this. The victim's hand is reaching towards her phone.

It's not standard for a person to use a touchscreen without looking at it.

If the victim was trying to place a call,

her head would be facing left, towards her phone.
