Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

There.

Hey.

Genta-kun, you're supposed to kick it into the goal.

Sorry. I'll go get it.

Are you okay?

I can't keep going...

Huh? Is no one home?

Professor, you're a mess.

We're going to resume playing as soon as Genta-kun comes back.

Don't you think he's taking a while to get the ball?

He's probably having trouble finding it.

That voice...

Was that Genta-kun?!

Genta, you okay?

What happened?

Th-That...

This is...

Is he...

Hey!

Boys.

Oh, good. You're all right.

Hold on.

Professor, call an ambulance.

Someone inside has collapsed.

What?

I don't think anyone's there.

I rang the doorbell earlier.

Then we'll have to break a window.

What's all this noise?

What?

Wait, son.

Son.

What?!

Well?

Professor, call the police, not an ambulance.

Y-You mean...

Yeah.

They're both probably dead.

Both?

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

The police are called to a wealthy man's study!

What happened to the two collapsed figures?

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Result of the Draw

"Result of the Draw!"

There are two victims.

The large man is Kawai Shinzo-san, the resident of this home.

Kawai Shinzo (55) Real Estate Company President

He was stabbed in the stomach,

but the cause of death is blood loss from the ice pick in his chest.

The weapon was an object kept in this room.

The smaller man on the floor is Shibata Kensuke-san.

His cause of death is a head injury.

Shibata Kensuke (38) Former Real Estate Company Employee

There's not much blood,

but he most likely struck his head on the armrest of the sofa.

Also, the blood on Shibata-san's sweater matched Kawai-san's.

The blood must've gotten on him when he stabbed him.

When did they die?

About two hours ago.

The bodies were discovered about an hour ago.

I see.

And they're the ones who found the body.

Also, they're the president and former employee of a real estate company.

Several months ago,

Shibata-san was fired for embezzling company funds.

Money troubles, huh?

Who is she?

Kawai-san's wife Yuko-san.

She was sleeping in the second floor bedroom when the incident occurred.

Kawai Yuko (48) Shinzo's Wife

Sleeping?

This room shows signs of a struggle.

It must've made a lot of noise.

Yes. I asked her about that.

She said she'd been looking after her mother all morning,

and was too exhausted to notice.

The bedroom's far away from this room.

Ma'am, I'm sorry to question you when your husband's dead.

Yes?

Had your husband arranged to meet Shibata-san here?

Yes. Today was his repayment date.

Repayment date?

Shibata-san was using the money he embezzled

to pay for his sick family's hospital bills.

My husband agreed to rehire him

if he returned the money by today.

I see. So that's why Shibata-san came.

By the way, do you know how much he owed?

I believe it was about a million yen.

Conan-kun, you can't just enter the crime scene.

Oh, sorry.

Unbelievable.

Oh? You have a foot injury.

Oh, this?

I sprained it the other day.

You went to care for your mother with an injury?

That must've been difficult.

My mother's in far worse shape than I am.

This is nothing.

She seems tired.

Maybe she's not getting much sleep.

Her foot's injured, and her husband's dead.

I feel bad for her.

Caring for her mother must be hard.

If I'd been awake...

If I'd noticed something was wrong, this wouldn't have happened to my husband.

It's my fault.

By the way, you weren't answering the door even though we kept calling.

Did the sound of the intercom wake you?

No, that large boy's scream woke me.

Large boy?

The biggest boy.

Oh, Genta.

And the intercom's not working right now.

It doesn't always work.

Sorry.

Um, Conan-kun?

Let's step outside.

Let's go, Conan-kun.

Shibata didn't embezzle the money to pay for hospital bills.

How do you know that?

The sweater he was wearing was from a pretty high-end brand.

If he was strapped for cash, he couldn't have bought that.

Really? It didn't look expensive to me.

You don't know much about fashion, Mr. Detective.

Sorry about that.

This bag was on the sofa.

There was money inside.

She said he owed a million yen.

That looks like the right amount.

So he raised the money.

In that case, why did they get into a fight?

Hello?

I see.

Yeah, got it.

What is it?

According to the employees of Kawai Real Estate,

Kawai-san said he didn't intend to rehire Shibata-san.

It was just an excuse to make him return the money.

So he failed to fulfill his promise after the money was returned.

If that was the reason,

then Shibata-san became hostile,

grabbed a weapon from the desk...

...and murdered Shinzo-san.

Looks like she wasn't lying about the intercom not working.

Yeah.

There you are.

Let's go back to the park and keep playing.

Genta-kun, make sure you aim for the goal this time.

I know!

Well? What do you think?

About what?

The case.

At first glance,

it seems like one man was stabbed and immediately pushed the other.

The other suffered fatal injuries

and died.

Doesn't that explain it?

Well, yeah.

You don't sound like you believe it.

What, then? Did you notice anything strange?

No, not really.

Like you said, I think that's probably what happened.

Then why not let the police handle the rest?

Conan-kun!

Let's go!

Genta-kun, do you have a cold?

No. I think I hurt my throat when I screamed earlier.

I was so surprised.

We suddenly heard a weird voice.

Was my scream that weird?

Based on the direction it came from,

we knew immediately that it was you.

The direction of the scream?

Based on the circumstances, it could only have been Genta...

Wait a minute.

Sorry. You guys go on without me.

What? Why?

The professor has something he hasn't told the police.

Right, Professor?

What? I don't remember saying that...

Uh...

Oh, that's right.

I completely forgot to tell them that.

Come on. Let's go.

What is it, Shinichi?

Is there something bothering you?

Yeah. I don't think this case is as simple as we think.
