Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Yumi-san!

Yumi-san, wait!

Ch-Chiba-kun?!

I just checked with the traffic department.

They said you were patrolling Haido City on October 4th.

October 4th?

Oh, right.

That weirdly hot day.

Did you see anything while you were on patrol?

Like what?

Are you still investigating that weird case?

Well, yeah...

Only the victim and that man were at the scene, right?

Go bring him in and get a confession out of him.

I can't just do that.

Chiba Kazunobu.

He has an exceptionally strong sense of justice.

He's my childhood friend,

and my first love.

Even heaven is watching the labyrinths of the world!

Full throttle reasoning skills penetrate all mysteries!

Here's another fretful couple.

Will this strange case bring them closer together?

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

Chiba's UFO Case

"Chiba's UFO Case, Part One!"

Chiba Kazunobu.

So, did you see anything?

He has an exceptionally strong sense of justice.

No, nothing suspicious.

He's my childhood friend,

and my first love.

I'm going home.

There's a show I want to watch.

You can't cross!

What?

The signal's red.

Who cares?

There aren't any cars.

And nobody's watching.

I'm watching.

And you're watching, too.

If you go easy on yourself and break the rules once,

it can turn into a habit.

And habits aren't easy to fix.

Don't you understand that?

His only faults are that he's a little too strict about rules,

and still hasn't remembered me.

How about you?

What?

You were riding with Yumi-san, right?

Do you remember seeing anything strange that day?

I know it was three days ago,

but if you think about it, you could still remember something.

Jeez.

You're the one who needs to remember!

What?

Oh, uh...

What kind of strange things?

Well, for example...

An alien?

What?

An a-alien?

Of course you didn't see one.

I'll ask someone else.

He's so dense.

Anyway, did Chiba-kun gain weight again?

Y-You think so?

He does look a little rounder.

He's more than round.

He's obese.

He'll die young.

I wouldn't want him for a boyfriend.

I know what you mean.

Even if he were the last man in the universe,

I wouldn't be with Chiba-kun.

Hey!

Quit chatting and go on patrol!

Yes, ma'am!

H-Hey, you're making a scary face.

Coming.

Oh, hello, Manager.

A package arrived for you.

I accepted it for you.

Thank you.

Be careful when you open it, though.

There was something strange written in the sender field.

"Your biggest fan in the universe?"

An alien?

You want me to find an alien?

Yeah!

Me, the great detective Mori Kogoro?

It's written right here on your website.

Wada Hina (17) Haido High School Second-Year

"We travel to the edge of the universe to find missing persons

at the Mori Detective Agency."

It's supposed to mean that I'll work that hard.

She's not asking you to go into space to find it.

Right, Hina-chan?

Yeah.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

An unidentified flying object.

An unidentified flying object?

A UFO?

Wh-What was it shaped like?

It was a long, skinny cylinder.

A cigar-shaped UFO?

You saw it near Haido Park, right?

Yeah, while jogging with my club.

Are you sure it wasn't a blimp?

Their shapes are similar.

Similar...

Come to think of it, the Sister From Another Domain

that Sera's hiding in her hotel room looked a lot like Haibara.

If they're related,

then that would mean Sera's brother Akai-san

and Haibara are related, too.

Wait, wait.

Haibara's sister Miyano Akemi and Akai-san used to be...

Conan-kun.

What are you doing, Conan-kun?

Aren't you coming?

Where are we going?

To the place where Hina-chan saw the UFO.

Yoko-chan played an extraterrestrial investigator on TV the other day,

so Dad's really into UFOs right now.

Really?

Hina-neechan's in the karate club, too?

So that's why you know each other even though you attend different schools.

That's right.

We usually run into each other at the semi-finals of karate tournaments.

I've never beaten Ran-chan, though.

No wonder I thought I recognized her.

Anyway, I saw the UFO

during our summer training camp.

I told the other club members and my friends,

but they didn't believe me.

That's when I remembered Ran-chan's dad is the Sleeping Kogoro.

If there was a UFO,

then there must be an alien,

so I sent Ran-chan an e-mail to ask for help finding it.

What are you going to do if there really is an alien?

I'll ask it why it came to Earth,

and about the planet it's from,

and if I can ride its UFO.

I have so many questions I want to ask it.

But it could be a terrifying alien.

Of course.

Then we'll have a conversation with our fists.

That's why I practice karate.

Uh, really?

This is it.

I saw the UFO flying between these two trees.

It entered Haido Park,

so I rushed up the stairs and looked for it,

but I didn't find anything.

Since I was jogging, I didn't have my phone,

so I couldn't take a picture.

But if you were jogging as part of your training camp,

someone else must've seen it.

W-Well, actually...

I was so eager to "overthrow Ranmaru" that I made my muscles sore,

so I was running slower than everyone else.

R-Ranmaru?

Oh, you know. Mori Ran sounds a lot like Mori Ranmaru,

so I started calling you that.

Like, "Overthrow Nobunaga's sycophant!"

R-Really?

Wait, isn't this...?

How is Natsuko?

She dented her skull.

She made it through surgery,

but she's still unconscious.

I see...

How did you know she was a teacher?

Oh.

There were a bunch of answer sheets

inside her bag.

Wait, Conan-kun?

What are you doing here?

W-We were just on a drive together.

Were those answer sheets blank without anything written on them?

Huh?

Actually, they were all filled in and graded.

I don't think she was attacked here, then.

What?

These are the stairs Jodie-sensei's friend,

Shibuya-sensei, was pushed down, right?

What? Really?

Th-That's what Jodie-sensei told me.

Oh, right.

Ran didn't know.

Shibuya-sensei is a teacher at Haido Elementary School.

She walks through this park on her way home,

so the school must be nearby.

I see.

You could've mistaken a flying grade school science experiment

for a UFO.
