Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji came to invite us

to see the holiday lights everyone's talking about.

While waiting for Ran and Kazuha to finish making dinner,

Hattori and I went to kill time at Poirot,

the café below the agency.

That's when Beika University drama club members

Ozumi Meisuke (21) Beika University Third-Year

Ozumi Meisuke-san,

Yamashita Yui (21) Beika University Third-Year

Yamashita Yui-san,

Anzai Tengo (20) Beika University Third-Year

Anzai Tengo-san,

Nagatsuka Minoru (20) Beika University Third-Year

and Nagatsuka Minoru-san arrived.

Have a seat.

Let's watch Yui's birthday video together.

You finished filming your part, right?

Yeah. I just sent it to your laptop.

Oh, yeah?

But Ozumi's not here yet.

He's in the bathroom.

Oh, we're going to make some noise.

Don't mind us.

Huh?

It's not turning on.

Is the battery dead?

Hey, miss.

Could we borrow an outlet?

Sure.

Here you go.

Thanks.

No way. A blackout?

I-I just saw a spark.

Y-Yeah, from the outlet.

Azusa-san, check the breaker.

O-Okay.

What?

Azusa-san, hurry.

Okay.

What's all this noise about?

Coffee Poirot

There's no need to call the police.

When he was stabbed, some blood flew onto my face.

And onto my glasses, too.

His blood must've gotten on

the culprit's hands or sleeves.

You can't be serious.

Why isn't there blood on anyone?

Listen, detectives, you seem to think we did it.

Couldn't it have been an outsider?

Maybe someone was waiting outside the store

for the blackout and came inside to stab him with night vision goggles?

That seems unlikely.

Why do you say that?

Immediately after that man was stabbed and screamed,

I stood in front of the entrance

so no one could get out.

Really?

That's why you were standing next to the door when the lights came on.

Yes.

You must have pretty good night vision.

No. I just happened to be using my phone to—

Listen to music.

I used that faint light.

Music?

Come to think of it, you haven't told us your name yet.

My name?

I'm Wada Shinichi.

I work in medicine.

Wada Shinichi?

Curtains rise as the headliner appears!

He beautifully dances his mystery-solving steps!

A case at the Poirot Café is tackled by Heiji, Amuro,

and the mysterious Wada Shinichi.

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Solving Mysteries at the Poirot Café

"Solving Mysteries at the Poirot Café, Part Two!"

He's got the same name as you.

Huh?

Conan-kun, isn't your name Conan?

H-He meant to say "your favorite Shinichi-niichan."

Heiji-niichan can be unclear sometimes.

Sorry.

I-I see...

Anyway, Kudo, do you know who did it?

No, not yet.

I thought of a trick to avoid getting blood on yourself, though.

You, too?

But the person who could've used the trick...

...couldn't have committed the crime.

Damn.

I gotta solve this quick so we can go to Kinza.

Hey.

Yamashita Yui-san.

What is it?

You said you and Anzai-san are just childhood friends,

but that's not true, is it?

If there's something going on, could you tell me?

It might help us solve the case.

Sorry, but I can't say.

What? But...

It's...

a secret I have to keep to protect someone.

When I was your age, I didn't think I had any secrets either.

R-Really?

Honestly, I have way too many secrets at the moment.

Hey, Kudo.

You know how late the Kinza lights are staying on?

No.

"From between long clouds blown by the fall wind,

the moonlight shining through is beautiful indeed."

One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets?

I see.

So that's how it is.

I know exactly what happened.

Hey, detectives.

Can't we go now?

I'm sorry that Anzai got stabbed,

but none of us did it.

There's no blood on anyone.

I don't think we could've stabbed anyone in the pitch blackness of the blackout.

You'd need night vision goggles.

I was in the bathroom since before the blackout,

so I couldn't have stabbed him.

The peep hole in the bathroom door is made with frosted glass.

I couldn't have known who was sitting where.

"From between long clouds..."

"From between long clouds blown by the fall wind,

the moonlight shining through is beautiful indeed."

Wh-Where did that come from?

O-One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets?

It's a poem by Sakyo no Daibu Akisuke.

It means the moon seen through clouds blown

by the fall wind is super pretty.

And the culprit also saw who was sitting where through a gap.

What are you doing?

Uh, nothing. Don't mind me.

Right?

The man who was hiding in the bathroom and secretly watching through the peep hole...

I'm asking you, Ozumi Meisuke-san.

What?

H-Hey, Ozumi...

Is this true, Ozumi-kun?

Wh-What are you talking about?!

Didn't you hear me?!

The peep hole's made of frosted glass!

Hey, Azusa-san.

Do you have any tape?

Yes.

But what do you need this for?

My science teacher told me that if you put tape

on the rough side of frosted glass, it's like normal glass.

What? Really?

Try putting some tape on the peep hole and look through it.

Okay...

You're right.

I can see through the spot covered by the tape.

Can you see me?

You're right.

I wouldn't call it totally transparent,

but you can see who's sitting where.

B-But why?

It's difficult to see through frosted glass because tiny scratches

on its surface reflect light, making it appear cloudy.

By putting tape over it,

the adhesive on the tape fills the scratches in the glass,

flattening the surface and making it transparent.

B-But I don't have any tape on me.

There was tape on the birthday present you got for Yui-san.

After looking through the frosted glass,

you could've put it back on the present.

E-Even if I could see the others through the peep hole,

I couldn't have stabbed anyone in the darkness.

So you practiced, didn't you?

You arranged chairs and tables in your room

in the same layout at this café so you could stab someone in the dark.

If you built a set identical to this café for your play last year,

those measurements must still be in your drama club room somewhere.

E-Even if I knew the exact layout, it'd still be hard to stab someone.

Yes.

From the front, their hands would get in the way, making it difficult to stab them.

But from their blindside, as long as you knew where they were sitting, it would be possible.

That's why you came first and put your bag on the booth seat,

knowing your girlfriend Yui-san would sit next to it.
