Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

In a blink, the whole truth is understood.

Once begun, the process will not stop.

The stage today is the ring-like tram line

The incident and the electric tram both have no terminal point.

Revealing the only truth.

Outwardly a boy, but his brain is that of an adult.

His name is... the Famous Detective Conan.

Even having read all the magazines won't do.

Just makes people sigh.

There's simply nothing suitable for me to wear.

Colours that are end-of-century trendy ones,

basically fail to measure up to your expectation.

I am sorry to have let this displease you.

It's like reaching the edge of a cliff,

Swaying and swinging, what's so bad about it.

Even so, one still has to go forward.

To me, it's not a problem.

If it wasn't until the final moment, it won't do.

Please. Don't look at me so coldly.

Let me do as I like,

or else I would soon collapse.

It's like reaching the edge of a cliff,

Swaying and swinging, what's so bad about it.

Even so, one still has to go forward.

To me, it's not a problem.

Episode 158 The silent ring-like line Encoded by LeonMcNichol

The electric tram has gone.

Yes.

Hey, wait for me.

Really.

Uncle is really a troublesome fellow.

I've just finished a job.

At least let me have a beer first.

What do you mean finishing a job.

You only came to bring back the data left behind the last time.

And it is Sunday. No one comes to work.

The drink's great.

But Conan. The people today are really scarce.

Yes. Perhaps it's because this is a Sunday night.

Office building blocks are in this neighbourheed.

Normally people come to work here in relatively large numbers.

It's been hard work today.

I'm sorry to have give you quite a bit of trouble.

You are quite a muddled person.

Ching Mei who came here one year earlier than you

is much smarter.

That's right. That fellow Ching Mei is in quite a big hurry.

Is there something urgent?

Shouldn't be going to a date, I suppose?

Because it's Sunday today.

Really. It's all the fault of someone who made errors,

with the result that we have to do over-time on a Sunday.

I'm really sorry.

Next time I'll make it all up to you people.

She said that every time.

Don't blame her like that.

Yau Gei Ji also didn't do it on purpose.

So you are protective of new comers again.

Because of this, you have turned me into the role a bad guy.

Don't talk like that.

No more rows, the two fo you.

Oh?

Electric tram arriving at No. 2 platform.

Oh, I am going to buy a can of fruit juice.

Hey, the tram is already here.

No problem. You board it first.

Really.

Conan, hurry and get in.

I know.

Wonder whether Yau Gei Ji managed to get on this tram?

That girl likes to go slow all the time.

Let's go and look.

We pretend not to know papa.

Mr. Jing Yi.

Made it just in time.

But the fruit juice has spilled out.

How careless.

Eh?

Yau Gei Ji, is that really you.

Eh, isn't that Ching Mei?

Oh? Really.

Hasn't Miss Ching Mei gone back quite some time ago?

Why...

She is in a deep sleep.

She must have travelled on this ring-like tram line one full circle.

It looks as if she's very tired.

Hello, Ching Mei.

Get up.

Ching Mei, Hey.

Oh!

Wh... What is it now?

Please make way.

No pulse. She is dead.

I'm sorry. Do you know her?

Yes, we are...

Who are you after all?

Me? My profession is that of a detective.

My name is Moli.

Moli... that famous person?

Right. I'm that famous person.

Her ear lobe looks like having been pierced by something.

And this ear

has a greenish bruise mark.

Uncle, this person's ear...

Don't you interrupt.

The colour of this ear...

seems to show reaction to poisoning.

This may be a case of murder.

Murder...

Siu Lan. Get the operator of this tram, and the police.

Yes.

Eh? What is this trace of a line?

Please stand back.

Before the police arrives please don't come over here.

You are also

Ching Mei...

Please don't touch the deceased.

I'm sorry.

MuMu Police Chief, I have got the psssengers on the tram

to leave a record of their names, phone numbers and addresses.

Time of death is assessed to be about half past six.

Is that so?

Body was discovered after half past seven.

Going once round this ring-like tram line

takes about one hour and ten minutes.

Looks like death occured in the carriage of the electric tram.

In other words, the victim died after getting on the tram.

She then stayed on the seat and made a full circle on the line,

and was found at the same station where she boarded the tarm.

Yes? Then how about the cause of death?

Probably from what has been laced with lethal poison

something like a poisoned pin

pierced into a ear.

Otherwise there is no sign of any struggle

or any trace of a fight.

This is the victim's leather bag.

What are you doing?

Sor... Sorry.

Uncle, that leather bag,

looks as if it was in its opened condition all along?

You just don't be so talkative...

Eh? Wait a moment.

This means, the criminal could have, from the leather bag,

taken away something.

Police Chief. The victim's leather bag is still here

and its contents don't seem to have been moved.

What remains to be done is to ask those three people.

Perhaps they may know something. Yes.

Mr. Go Muk.

There also, over there.

Oh? Really so.

Thank you, Conan.

Let us identify what the victim has left behind.

Eh? There should be one more person, where?

That girl upon seeing this incident

seemed to have been scared out of her wits.

Can't really blame her.

Now the two of you, let me ask you first to help with investigations.

Conan, don't stay here.

We go over there.

But I... Don't fool around any more.

You... are all right?

Yes. I am all right.

The things on China Mei.

How should I know.

But perhaps Jing Yi may know.

Didn't you want very much to make friends with her

and even gave her presents.

Present?

You were dating the victim, were you not?

No, every time she declined.

So you have a motive to take revenge.

I... How would I.

Jing Heung, how can you say that?

No more rows.

We got on quite well normally.

Because that incident happened today,

On account of your work, you all went to the company.

Then later just Miss Kiu Bun Ching Mei

who went back first, alone. Is that right?

Yes.

It's Sunday today. Was there work to be done?

We design advertisements.

Because I made a mistake yesterday,

with the result that everybody had to come to work today.

You were the last to see Miss Ching Mei,

what time was it?

It was at the Yi Fan Street station.

We accompanied her to the station.

Was there anything unusual about Miss Ching Mei at the time?

We parted company at the Goi Jat entrance.

There was nothing unusual.

That was about half past six.

Thereafter, and before the deceased was found again,

were you all three together all the time?

Yes.

Any grudges between Miss Ching Mei and any other people?

Mr. Jing Yi.

From the conversation just now,

the one ignored by Miss Ching Mei all the time has been you...
