Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Found a heron.

That's a sandpiper, isn't it?

Those are mallards. There're a bunch of them!

Look! There's a kingfisher.

What? Where? Where is it?!

Huh? What?

Let's see...

Now this is a rare find.

That's a thrush.

A woodpecker, maybe?

And... a turtle dove.

Just kidding.

Hey, Conan-kun!

Huh?

Conan-kun, what are you doing?

P-People watching...

The rhythm on my lips is footloose!

The rhythm of my detective skills is perfect!

A case breaks out in a pair of binoculars!

Use your powers of observation to catch the culprit!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Case On the Opposite Shore

"The Case On the Opposite Shore!"

Didn't we agree to go bird watching together today?

Why are you looking at people when we came to look at birds?

Sorry. I couldn't help it.

Please, Conan-kun.

But this seems pretty interesting, too.

People watching.

Oh? Looks like they're arguing.

What?

You're right. It looks like that woman is mad at that man.

"I'm sorry. Please cheer up."

"Tell me. What's more important, me or your job?"

"I don't know what to say."

"I don't like men who don't communicate clearly. Hmph!"

"Hey, wait!"

That's not what this is about.

What is it about, then?

Basically, for example...

See that man in the white polo shirt playing with the child by the slide?

What about him?

You observe him and guess his profession.

What?

How?

That's impossible.

It's not impossible.

Huh?

First, that watch on his left arm is a luxury watch that costs several million yen.

All the clothes he's wearing are simple, but they're designer brands.

Based on that, we can reason that he works a high-paying job.

And more than anything, there's the red strap hanging from his neck.

At the end of it is...

A cell phone for medical use.

In other words, this man is...

This man is?

A doctor.

That's right.

A cell phone for medical use?

Because the waves they transmit are weak,

they're widely used for internal communication systems within hospitals.

Really? Is that right?

You know those signs in hospitals and trains telling you to turn off your phone?

No Cell Phones

They're warnings intended to prevent adverse effects

on people with pacemakers and hospital equipment.

Additionally, that red strap indicates that he's a healthcare worker.

Medical Use PHS

Conan-kun, that's amazing!

I can't believe you figured that out just by looking at him.

You guys could do it, too.

What?

Really?

Yeah. When you observe carefully, you can figure out all kinds of things.

Let's all try it to improve our detective skills.

Yeah!

Okay, then...

Let's look at that woman in the light blue dress carrying that big bag.

She's a singer-songwriter!

A makeup artist!

No, she sells eels!

You're all wrong.

Any hints?

You should focus on her unique way of walking and her large bag.

She's slender but muscular overall.

You're right.

That's a bold way of walking.

But what's inside that bag?

Perhaps a stage costume, like a tutu.

What's a tutu?

I've got it! She's a ballerina.

Correct, Ayumi-chan.

Yes!

The basic position of ballet is called "en dehors."

It means turning your feet outwards.

So even while walking, she points her toes outwards and maintains a straight posture.

Not only does ballet use a lot of costumes and equipment,

but most people have to carry their own things,

so they tend to carry large bags.

Really?

See?

When you observe carefully, you can figure out all kinds of things, right?

Yes, you're right.

All right! I'll guess the next one.

Hey, Edogawa-kun.

Look at the hedges to the right of the water fountain.

Huh? Isn't that...?

I-Is that Detective Takagi?

Yes.

And look at the cardboard box behind the fountain.

Huh?

Behind the fountain?

Let's see...

That's Detective Chiba.

Why is he dressed like that?

Maybe they're on a stakeout.

A stakeout?

If we follow their gaze, we'll find their target.

Let's see...

There! In front of the fountain!

He looks the part.

What does that mean?

He's delivering the ransom in a kidnapping case.

What?!

All officers, report.

Nothing strange here.

Nothing strange.

Nothing strange.

Nothing strange.

What should we do?

Is there anything we can do to help?

Are we going to the other shore?

But in order to cross the river,

whether we go upstream or downstream,

it would take a lot of time.

We can't go over there and cause confusion.

Let's watch from here.

You're right.

Yeah.

Two guys are coming down the stairs in the middle.

They're probably construction workers building houses in the area.

They're unrelated to the case.

One person is coming from the left.

It's hard to imagine a kidnapper dressed in a sailor uniform.

Huh? What's that?

It's a boat.

Now we can't see the opposite shore.

Hurry up and move!

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hurry up!

All right.

That running woman is heading towards the fountain.

No, it's not her.

She's meeting the man by the river.

Edogawa-kun, what about the man next to the swings?

Huh?

He looks the part.

He's clearly watching his surroundings and acting suspiciously.

Is that man the kidnapper?

Bingo. It's him.

Excuse me.

Yes?

I represent Iwabe-san.

Could you hand over the money?

What?

Arrest him!

No, wait!

You're under arrest for the kidnapping of Shibata Mika-chan!

They got him!
