Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

We accompanied the old man to Kokura, Fukuoka,

for the Japanese Detective League's award ceremony

so he could accept his Best Detective Award.

We've arrived in Kokura.

Kokura Station

The award ceremony starts at seven, so we have plenty of time.

I know. I should give him a call.

Conan-kun, let's visit Munakata first.

Munakata?

I've always wanted to visit Munakata Taisha and Miyajidake Shrine.

He's not answering.

And, and...

Who are you calling?

This camphor tree is huge. I'd love to see it.

My senior from the MPD runs a company in Kokura.

There's even a roadside station.

That might be a good place to shop for souvenirs for Mom.

Your senior from the MPD?

Fukamachi Torazo.

Also, also...

I'm sure Mojiko Retro is photogenic.

They called him the Tiger of Sakuradamon.

The Tiger of Sakuradamon?

I need to buy souvenirs for Mom, Sonoko, Sera-chan,

He's not answering.

Let's head over to his office and surprise him.

Shinichi...

What? Hey!

You promised we'd go sightseeing this afternoon!

We came all the way to Kokura.

We can afford to stop by.

Then you should go by yourself.

B-But...

I'd like to meet the Tiger of Sakuradamon, too.

What?

But, Conan-kun...

And I'd be worried about leaving him alone.

Let's meet back here around lunch.

Okay!

But I wanted to go sightseeing together...

This is Northern Kyushu

In my eyes are maximum creation!

My detective skills are tomorrow's reaction!

The old man's been given a detective award?

Something's happening in Northern Kyushu!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Northern Kyushu Mystery Tour

"The Northern Kyushu Mystery Tour, Kokura Arc!"

Wakato Bridge

Old Furukawa Mining Wakamatsu Building

Tiger Trading

He was hospitalized for an injury?

Yes.

Kiriyama Eisaku (45) Tiger Trading Managing Director

A week ago, he hit his head when he fell.

He's still unconscious.

He's unconscious?

How did he fall?

Tell us exactly what happened.

Izumi-kun, tell them.

Yes, sir.

The president injured his knee several years ago.

Izumi Noriko (28) President's Secretary

As part of his rehabilitation, every morning he takes a walk around the office.

Fukamachi Torazo (63) Tiger Trading President

That day, he tripped on a parking block.

I found him on the ground and called an ambulance immediately.

Which hospital is he staying at?

If you're hoping to visit him, don't.

You'd be hindering his treatment.

But...

Mister, don't be unreasonable.

Shut up.

By the way, Mori-san, I heard you're a great detective.

Well, I don't mean to brag,

but I was chosen for the Best Detective Award.

In that case, could you catch a culprit for us?

A culprit?

You mean his injury wasn't an accident?

No, that's not what I mean.

Someone vandalized our office.

Vandalized?

Tiger

Tiger?

Who found this?

I did.

Who are you?

I'm the president's driver. My name is Ukaji.

Ukaji Makoto (42) President's Driver

Three days ago, this was here when I arrived for work in the morning.

This isn't the only place.

Tiger

It's also on the office parking lot, the wall of the warehouse,

and even on the front door of my home.

Your front door?

Yes. It's clearly meant to threaten me.

Threaten you how?

The truth is, the stockholders' meeting scheduled for this afternoon at three

will decide that if President Fukamachi is unable to return to work,

I will become the next president.

Torahiko-kun must have heard about it.

Torahiko?

President Fukamachi's son.

He attends a university in Tokyo,

but we haven't been able to get in touch with him

since he heard about the accident and came home.

Torahiko was lazy and a handful.

In high school, he was suspended for writing similar graffiti.

He also caused an uproar by using fireworks to build a bomb.

He's gotten in trouble with the police more than a couple of times.

He probably assumed he'd take over his father's position.

So he's threatening you so you won't become the company president?

If we don't do something, it's possible he'll hurt the director.

Have you told the police?

We did, but they said the graffiti alone

would only allow them to investigate it as a case of vandalism and trespassing.

Do you have proof that Torahiko-san did it?

I told you to shut up.

There's a witness.

A witness?

Iwata-san the security guard saw the culprit fleeing.

Where is he now?

He should be at the warehouse on the opposite side of the river.

It takes five minutes by boat. I'll take you there.

Thank you.

Mister, I want to go, too.

You'd be in the way. Wait here.

Your necktie is crooked.

Shall we go?

Yes.

Be careful.

Tiger Trading

Miyajidake Shrine

President's Office

What?

Dad's doing what?

Yeah.

He went to gather information with the secretary, Izumi-san,

in order to find the person who graffitied the buildings.

Should he have accepted that job?

Where are you right now?

Miyajidake Shrine. It's famous for its path of light.

Path of light?

The shrine approach stretches straight to the ocean.

Twice a year, the sun sets right over it. It's supposed to be breathtaking.

I went to Munakata Taisha, too.

Munakata Taisha

It's mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki.

It's one of Japan's oldest shrines.

It's famous for its Miare Festival held in the fall.

The Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region

are inscribed on the World Heritage List.

World Heritage List, huh? That's amazing.

Anyway, let's meet somewhere for lunch.

Okay.

So this is President Fukamachi and his son Torahiko-san.

Son, this is the president's office.

You shouldn't be in here.

Sorry.

And don't tell anyone I was sitting in his chair.

Where's Director Kiriyama?

He's visiting the president in the hospital.

But isn't he still unconscious?

Today is a special day.

A special day?

You might be too young to understand,

but today at three,

the next president will be appointed in a shareholders' meeting.

He wants to report it to the president, even if it's only as a formality.

But he asked Kogoro-no-ojisan not to visit him.

That's why I said today's a special day.

Today, the director will be taking the president's car to the shareholders' meeting.

I haven't driven his car in a week.

It's a very important day for the company.

Where's the parking lot where the president tripped?

Beneath that window.
