Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

You can rest assured, Junko-san.

I, Mori Kogoro,

will catch the thief who broke into your home.

I hope you're right.

Miyoshi Junko (26) Client

Thank you, Mori-san.

The jewelry shop by the station was robbed the other day.

I'm so scared.

In that case, Junko-san, perhaps I should stay at your house tonight.

That's all right.

My boyfriend's supposed to come over.

Your boyfriend, huh?

That's a relief.

So I was hoping you could catch the thief as soon as possible.

Gladly!

Rejected.

Ow!

There was a bug on your head.

Did he hear that?

Thank you so much for walking me home.

No problem.

It's dangerous to walk alone at night.

What was that?

It sounded like it came from the apartment parking lot.

Is something wrong?

O-Over there...

M-Mori-san, what in the world happened?

Junko-san, stay back.

And call the police.

O-Okay.

Kitagami-san?

What?

You knew him?

Y-Yes. He lived next door.

Mori-san, is Kitagami-san...?

Judging by his condition, he's probably dead.

Even heaven is watching the labyrinths of the world!

Full throttle reasoning skills penetrate all mysteries!

While discussing theft prevention, a neighbor experiences a strange fall.

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Security System's Pitfall

"The Security System's Pitfall!"

Kitagami Naotsugu (32) Office Worker

The deceased is Kitagami Naotsugu-san, thirty-two years old.

He was an office worker who lived in room 704 of this apartment building.

The cause of death was most likely

a cerebral contusion caused by a strong blow to the head.

Due to the numerous scratches on the front of the body,

he likely...

He likely fell by accident.

M-Mori-san?

The body stinks of alcohol.

After getting drunk, he probably slipped and fell from his apartment's balcony.

Hey, mister.

There's a weird smell mixed in with the smell of alcohol.

Kind of like peppers.

You just stay with Junko-san.

Okay.

By the way, who's the woman who was with you?

Oh, no.

There's nothing suspicious about our relationship.

Nobody said anything like that.

She's a victim of the burglaries that have been occurring in this neighborhood lately.

When I came to this apartment to discuss the matter,

I happened upon this incident.

Coincidentally, she lives in the room next door to the victim Kitagami-san.

I see.

Inspector, we should head up to the victim's room.

You're right.

Call the apartment manager.

Yes, sir.

Chiba-kun!

We're heading up to the victim's room!

Got it.

This is it.

He had his own security cameras, huh?

And he hired a security company, too.

Seems like he was a watchful person.

Yes.

Huh?

What is it?

The door's unlocked.

What?

It looks like he just forgot to lock his front door.

Home

The security system's off,

and his house key is hanging right here.

Inspector, the victim seems to have been drinking.

Quite a bit, too.

Inspector Megure.

What?

There's a bottle on the balcony, too.

Looks like I was right.

But why did the victim come out on the balcony?

He was probably drunk and trying to cool down.

Then he lost his balance

when he tripped on the bottle, fell over the railing,

and plunged straight down toward the ground.

I see.

Takagi-kun, Chiba-kun.

Split up and question the neighbors just in case.

Yes, sir!

Thank you for your help.

Sawada

Yes?

Excuse me, but I'm with the police.

Could I ask you a few questions?

Give me a minute.

Sorry to bother you when you're so busy.

Sawada Ryosuke (30)

It's awfully noisy in the parking lot.

Did something happen?

Did you know Kitagami Naotsugu-san in room 704?

Yeah, I'd seen him around.

Kitagami-san was found dead in the parking lot.

What?!

Seriously?!

Do you know anything about that?

I was at home all day,

but I didn't notice anything in particular.

I see.

Hey, was your apartment burglarized?

What?! C-Conan-kun?!

Wh-Who's the kid?

What?

Oh, well...

There are scratches around your keyhole,

so I thought you might have been.

What? Really?

You're right.

It's probably just some mischief.

I didn't have anything taken from me.

Could you check again?

If you notice anything suspicious...

In that case, could you let us see your balcony?

Could we see your balcony?

Did you find anything?

No, not in particular.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Conan-kun, let's go.

What's wrong?

I need to use the bathroom.

I've been holding it for a while.

What?

I'm sorry, but could we borrow your bathroom?

Go ahead. It's located...

That's okay. I can find it myself.

Conan-kun, we're here.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking.

Inspector Megure, I'm back.

D-Did something happen?

We know who did it.

What? Who did it?

I thought it was an accident.

We're not talking about that.

Apparently, this necklace belongs to Miyoshi-san.

My boyfriend bought it for me overseas.

That's definitely it.

Uh, what about it?

We found that necklace in this room.

What? Then...

That's right.

The thief behind the string of burglaries

in the neighborhood

was the resident of this room who got drunk and fell from his balcony,

Kitagami Naotsugu.

How did your questioning go, Takagi-kun?

I didn't find any particularly useful information.

I see.

Then he probably got drunk,

and accidentally fell like Mori-kun said.

That's it! So that's how it is!

This wasn't just an accident.

I'll have Section Three contact you immediately

regarding the stolen goods and burglary.

Okay.

Thank you.

Excuse us.

Anyway, that was an unexpected conclusion.

I can't believe the man who fell happened to be the thief.

I know.

The question is how do I prove that?

Mori-kun, what are you doing?

Oh, I just...

While looking at myself reflected on the wall,

I became concerned with my appearance.

Anyway, this wall sure is glossy like a mirror.

That's because it has a UV coating.

Since it's quick-drying and glossy, it's often used in elevators.

Huh...

Huh?

What's wrong, Conan-kun?

The detective badge that was in my pocket is missing.

I must have dropped it.

Do you have any idea where you might've dropped it?

Well...

Oh!

It's probably in Sawada-san's room.
