Detective Conan Episode 988 "The Feuding Girls"

Are we really doing this?

Yeah. After all, she's bad news.

If we're doing this, now's our chance.

But if someone finds out, we'll both be arrested.

Nah. Our alibis are perfect, and I'll be the one to finish her off.

Got it. Let's do it, then.

Let's shop!

We're here for products available today only.

Clothes and accessories.

Let's get pumped!

Yeah...

Yeah!

Go, go! Go, go! Go, go!

Happy Seal, go, go!

Go, go! Go, go! Go, go!

Huh, so it's a seal toy.

Ow...

I'm really sorry suddenly asking you to take some time off for us.

Yasuda

Yasuda Kazuo (43) Manager

It's fine. We're much obliged to your father.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Sonoko-san, if you'd only asked, we would have set aside some limited products for you.

That's not good enough.

I have to get it myself in order to—

Ayaka-chan, hurry up and move some stuff.

What? But I just painted my nails.

See?

It's those girls from earlier.

Find the question that solves the mystery!

Apply miraculous detective skills to the secrets of the heart!

A secret battle between a group of girls!

A case breaks out backstage!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Feuding Girls

"The Feuding Girls!"

You knew from the start that we'd be carrying stuff.

Sorry, but I won an audition for a commercial.

I need to look pretty.

Mai, you were rejected, weren't you?

That's too bad.

Ayaka-chan!

Oh, please. You're both scowling.

Mai?

I'll leave this stuff here.

Ayaka-san, help carry something.

Mina-san, can I take tomorrow off?

I'd like to practice for my commercial.

Hold on. You can't suddenly ask for the day off.

Right, Yuko-chan?

She's right.

And besides, if you work hard on this job,

you might get an even better offer next time.

That's right.

But wouldn't trying hard on the commercial get me an even better job than this one?

Ayaka, are you making fun of this job?

Mina-san!

Yeah, yeah.

I get it.

Ayaka-san, you're acting a little strange today.

Try to be more considerate of the others.

Just ignore her.

She doesn't want to do this tough low-paying job anymore.

But...

What are you doing?

Jeez, you're clumsy.

Ayaka! You did that on purpose, didn't you?

What? On purpose?

How could you say that?

Don't be ridiculous!

Ow! What was that for?

Please stop, both of you!

Let's try to get along while we're working on this campaign, okay?

God, you're so annoying!

I-I'm sorry!

Did we get any on you?

I'm fine.

I'm really sorry.

The limited products go on sale soon, Sonoko.

Yeah. It was worth standing in line for thirty minutes.

What are you spacing out for?

Ow!

What was that?

What's wrong?

A-Ayaka is...

She's gone.

No way. Ayaka?

Did she fall from there?

What is it, kid?

Conan-kun?

Call the police, Ran-neechan.

Okay.

What's this?

The estimated time of death is around 2:30PM.

This storage room within a shopping mall where the crime took place

happens to be under construction.

The victim Saijo Ayaka-san seems to have fallen from the construction scaffolding.

I see.

Which means this was an accident.

Actually, about that...

There were signs that the scaffolding the victim fell from had been tampered with.

What? Which means this could be a murder?

Yes, sir.

And? Who are these three?

They're colleagues of the late Ayaka-san.

Fukamoto Mai-san discovered the body.

I see. Could you describe the circumstances under which you found her?

Come to think of it, everyone was arguing with Ayaka-san.

Hey, Conan-kun!

Is that true, Ran-san?

Yes, I suppose.

I see.

Please don't do this.

It's true that we argued with Ayaka.

But it's not possible.

We wouldn't kill Ayaka.

Th-That's right.

Then where were you around 2:30PM when Ayaka-san died?

Well...

I was...

I was here preparing for the sale this afternoon along with the staff.

And? What about you two?

I was actually skipping work to watch the concert going on in the event space.

Mina-san...

Sorry.

I see.

What about you?

Actually, we found this in the garbage can in the hallway.

"Dear Mai, sorry about earlier. I got carried away."

"I'd like to apologize, so please come to floor 2, section 3 of the storage room around 3PM."

"From Ayaka."

Th-That's...

Also, we also found this at the crime scene.

That's Mai-san's...

Are you certain this is yours?

Y-Yes, b-but...

Is this what happened, then?

Mai-san received a letter from Ayaka-san saying she wanted to apologize.

She secretly went to the storage room and broke the scaffolding.

Then she feigned innocence and met Ayaka-san on the second floor of the storage room.

But she dropped her brooch then.

You're wrong!

I didn't do that!

It's true that I went to the storage room.

Ayaka said she wanted to apologize...

But I didn't do it!

By the time I went, Ayaka was already dead!

You have to believe me!

Don't do that, Conan-kun.

You shouldn't wander around the crime scene.

Sorry.

Ran-neechan, doesn't this seem the other way around?

The other way around?

Yeah. It was Ayaka-san who asked Mai-san to come here.

But Mai-san is thought to have tampered with the scaffolding.

Normally wouldn't the person who did the tampering invite their victim here?

Now that you mention it, you're right.

But that would mean...

That marks where Mai-san's brooch fell, right?

Yeah, probably.

But if it's the other way around, then...

Watch out!

Are you okay, Ran-neechan?

Yeah. Thanks, Conan-kun.

That was close.

The belt holding it in place is loose.

What's this?

That's Ayaka-san's...

Did you find something?

Yeah.

Hey, you!

You can't come in here! It's off limits!

Sorry.
