Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Huh. Even in Tokyo, there are places like this.

I know. It was worth coming, right?

The air's clear and the view's excellent.

What a great place to drink sake.

This way, please.

Hey, miss. That watermill isn't working.

That's right.

It used to deliver water to the wasabi farms.

Now we use it as an icehouse.

An icehouse?

That's like a natural refrigerator, right?

Yes.

It's where we keep the natural ice we serve here.

Excuse me.

Are you Mori Kogoro-san?

Matsui Juri (21) Teito University Philosophy Student

Suzumoto Maria (21) Teito University English Student

Akiba Yuko (21) Teito University Education Student

Yes, that's me.

Could I take a photo with you?

Of course. I don't mind.

Why don't I take it?

No, thank you.

Over here. Line up in front of the river.

Mori-san, everyone, please.

Come on, Maria.

Here.

Move.

Yuko.

Here we go.

Say cheese.

Cheese!

When the countdown reaches zero, use your detective skills to produce an answer!

Taking a commemorate photo by a cool riverbed!

Do these three women even like each other?

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Friendship Washed Away In The Riverbed

"Friendship Washed Away In The Riverbed!"

Ow! I have a blister.

I'm exhausted from walking so far.

But, you said you wanted to come here.

Isn't that because you suggested the three of us go somewhere together?

Now, now.

We came here to make up.

Maria, do you have any band-aids?

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Here is your appetizer.

This looks delicious!

I'll take one, too.

What are they doing?

Dad, don't you know?

It's popular among girls these days to upload photos made to look cute to the internet.

See? I do it, too.

Cute, huh?

Is there a problem?

I hear some birds singing.

I can't get the right angle.

Look.

That's cute.

You're trying too hard to act cute.

You never change.

How about mine?

Maria showed me a new app.

It's all right.

But using an app for photo correction feels wrong.

How about yours, then?

What do you think?

Getting these shadows was really hard work.

Feels cold.

Did you say something?

No.

Let's have the great detective judge them.

I agree!

Excuse me.

Could you take a look at our photos?

S-Sure.

We're thinking of submitting them to a publishing company's photo contest.

I know the one.

The winner gets a book published of their photos.

Yeah.

Could you give us some advice?

But I don't know anything about photography.

Unbelievable.

You think that's good enough to win?

Don't make me laugh.

I'll be back.

Oh, no. My battery's dead.

Uh, oh. I'm out of storage, too.

Should we go now?

Yeah.

Sorry. The judging will have to wait.

What was that about?

Oh, Dad...

Anyway, those girls sure are taking a long time.

It's been a while since they left.

Their food's getting cold.

She really should try it.

I know. Apps are so nice.

Huh? Yuko's still not back.

She was probably busy taking photos and forgot about the time.

You're right.

Let's start without her.

Wow, this fish is transparent.

It's almost too pretty to eat.

Thank you for waiting.

This is our special natural shaved ice.

How cute!

Let me take a picture first.

What is that?

What's wrong?

Over there.

Y-Yuko?

Huh?

What?

It's an emergency!

Wait, Conan-kun!

Get a life preserver!

Dad!

Stand back, kid!

Dad!

Mister!

Hey, are you okay?

She's gone.

Ran, call the police.

Got it.

What are these?

Hey, kid!

Ow!

How many millions of times do I have to tell you to stay out of crime scenes?

Go away!

Okay.

Yuko.

Keep it together.

Here.

Mori-kun, did you just happen to be at the scene of the crime once again?

I am ashamed.

It's a detective's fate.

In any case, why don't you explain what was happening when the body came down the river?

W-Well...

Don't tell me you don't remember because you were passed out drunk in the middle of the day.

A-As if, Inspector. You must be joking.

We came here to take photos.

But Yuko got a text from someone and left.

She hadn't coming back yet, so we were worried.

Then suddenly some blood red water came flowing down the river.

And we saw Yuko in the red river.

That's right.

Awakened by the scream, I leapt into the river, and pulled her out.

I see.

So he was asleep.

Hey, miss.

What is it?

Earlier you said you came here to make up.

What did that mean?

Oh.

Well, you know...

Huh...

Inspector!

I have the results of the inspection.

The cause of death was a cerebral contusion from a blow to the back of the head.

Do we know what the red stuff in the water was?

Yes, sir.

It's a fern called Azolla japonica

that grows in lakes, right?

Conan-kun, you sure are knowledgeable.

I saw it on TV the other day.

Because the plant is small, buoyant, and red, in large quantities,

they look like pools of blood.

I see.

We also discovered what we believe to be the victim's belongings near the watermill.

You two. Do you recognize this?

That's Yuko's.

There's a label on it.

On the phone—excuse me...

We found this photo.

It's possible the victim accidentally fell here while trying to take a photo.

Let me see that.

Hey!

This is...

Don't do that, Conan-kun.

Sorry.

Huh? What's wrong, mister?

I wanted to go to the watermill,

but they won't let me in because of an investigation or something.

You mean the watermill converted into an icehouse, right?

Yeah. What about—
