Detective Conan Episode 1056 "I Want My Husband Back"

9AM Metropolitan Area Kasuba City

Mori Fusae (76)

Is he dead?

He's not breathing.

Inukai Hajime (35)

No way.

I'm sure he'll be fine once he's treated at a hospital.

Name: Butsumaru Daijiro DOB: February 20th Address: Tokyo Beika City Haido 1056-9-10 Issued February 12th Expires March 20th Driver's License

This must be his.

I should report this to the police.

You don't know the license plate number or vehicle model?

I've got bad news.

Butsumaru Daijiro hasn't been taken to a hospital.

He hasn't been taken to a hospital?

Then where did he go?

Scene of Accident

Neither the company he manages nor his home have received any word.

The Kasuba police are searching for Butsumaru-san's whereabouts,

Missing Person Butsumaru Daijiro-san (51)

A traffic accident victim just vanished, huh?

and are asking any witnesses to contact the police.

When he was hit by the car...

He probably died.

The culprit thought they could get away with it as long the body wasn't found,

so they pretended to take him to a hospital and hid the body somewhere.

Yes, this is Detective Mori.

Who am I speaking to?

You're the wife of the missing victim Butsumaru?

Mysterious clouds block your field of view!

Clear them away with deductive reasoning and the sky sparkles!

A missing victim, an unexpected demand,

and the truth that appears on the far side of negotiations!

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

I Want My Husband Back

"I Want My Husband Back!"

Butsumaru

Butsumaru Emiko (46) Daijiro's Wife

I'm Butsumaru Emiko, the woman who called earlier.

And this is...

I'm President Butsumaru's secretary Kadokura.

Kadokura Shinya (32) Daijiro's Secretary

I'd like you to find my husband and bring him back safe and sound.

The police are looking for him,

but I have no idea what he was doing in Kasuba in the first place.

He doesn't know anyone there.

More importantly, I doubt your husband is still with us.

It's my husband.

You want me to buy his body?

I told you, I want you to buy the body of your husband I hit with my car.

You need it, don't you?

You can't hold a funeral without it.

I'll sell it to you for 10 million yen, so get the money.

If you tell the police,

I'll dump the body in a faraway ocean where it'll never be found again.

No! Please don't do that!

I'll call your cell phone later.

The two of them seemed somewhat prepared to hear the news,

but what kind of monster kills a person and demands money from their relatives?

We should report this to the police!

No.

If I can get my husband's body back for 10 million yen, then I don't mind paying!

Even if we don't tell the police, there's no need for you to comply with their demands.

The great Mori Kogoro shall take back your husband's body from the culprit.

If that's possible, Mori-san, then of course I'd prefer that.

The question is how we'll find the culprit.

We might find some clues if we go to the scene of the accident in Kasuba.

We'll join you.

I was worried, but they don't seem to have figured it out.

That's right. I was so surprised.

He came speeding down the street while I was walking here.

Could it be?

Stop resisting.

That's him.

He's the culprit?

I finally found a new job.

I was afraid of that going down the drain, so...

But I never demanded any money.

You don't know when to give up, do you?

Quit stalling and return the body.

Of course.

That's odd.

This is where I buried it, but it's not here.

What?

What's going on?

The president's body disappeared.

I don't understand.

Wh-Which means...

Incoming Call Incoming call from withheld number Withheld Number Settings Reject Answer

Hello?

Your husband's body is crying about wanting to go home.

This wasn't an accident.

You just stole the body.

Ding ding ding.

It was quicker to say I killed him.

Only one old woman witnessed the accident, so I figured I could pretend I did it.

More importantly,

I've decided to raise the price of the body to 30 million yen.

30 million?

30 million is fine, just give me back my husband.

That's the spirit.

30 million is fine?

This person is weirdly obsessed with her husband's body.

Um, what's this about the body being stolen?

They're probably an urban explorer or something,

and saw you hiding the body when they happened to come here.

Missing: Butsumaru Daijiro-san Please contact the police with any eyewitness information.

They got the idea when they saw the news,

dug up the body and took it with them,

and demanded money in exchange for it.

Damn that body thief X.

But they didn't need to move the body.

What if you turned yourself in?

The police would've dug it up.

So that's why they needed to move it.

Anyway, 30 million is an outrageous price.

It's a small price to pay for the return of my husband's body.

Of course, it'd be best if the great detective got it back for free.

I don't understand the ransomer either.

Why would they think she'd be willing to pay that much?

It's Butsumaru-san's study.

What's that?

I see. So that's how it is.

Don't wander into rooms.

Hey, mister. What's this thing stuck on the safe?

It's an authentication device.

No Match

Could it be?

Looks like you figured it out.

Only my husband can open that.

Inside that safe are our treasures, tokens of our memories.

That's right.

After all, you can buy memories with money.

Maybe there's actually money in there.

Since she said she's willing to pay 30 million yen,

there could be several times that in the safe.

Either way, we have to find the body.

This has nothing to do with X.

Are you sure about that? Doesn't this narrow down who X could be?

What does that mean?

Who knows about that safe?

Yeah, I was wondering who knows.

Just the three of us. Me, my husband, and Kadokura.

What? But...

There must be someone else, and that person is X.

How do you know that?

When you consider X demanded the high price of 30 million yen

and knows they need the body no matter what...

Are you saying someone who knows about their situation

just happened to be there when Butsumaru's body was being buried?

That's too much of a coincidence.

Yeah, but...

Didn't X say something strange?

Only one old woman witnessed the accident, so I figured I could pretend I did it.

Not even the news mentioned that an old woman witnessed the accident.

If they knew that, then maybe X was there when the accident happened, too.

What would X be doing there?

We have to assume they were, or else—

Well, don't assume.

Someone who happened to get their hands on the body is just blackmailing them.

I don't think this case is that simple. I think there's more to this.

I have guests over right now.

Did you notice anything strange?

No, not particularly.

Inspector?

Mori-kun? What are you two doing here?

I see.

So that's what he's doing here.

Yes. He's the one who hid Butsumaru's body.

My name is Inukai Hajime.

You found the culprit and captured him?

I guess there was no point in looking into Butsumaru's connections to Kasuba.

Mori-kun, why didn't you let us know right away when you captured the culprit?

I thought I'd question him for clues first.

What are you talking about?

Uh, actually...

The truth is, Inspector,

there's currently another ongoing case stemming from the accident he caused.

A second case?

I get the picture.

What were the president's connections to Kasuba you mentioned earlier?

Butsumaru was renting an apartment in Kasuba.

An apartment?

The manager contacted us after seeing the news.

The name on the agreement is different, but they said he might be his resident.
