The eldest son, Hideomi-san, appeared on the balcony with a knife in his mouth! We rushed to the room below but were too late Mitsuaki-san had been impaled on the fence below! Two days later, Hideomi-san's body was found in the pond, along with his will! It seemed certain that he had done it There's something unnatural about that will! In other words, Hideomi-san had been murdered before it happened!

Nobody left?! None of them left the premises.
Miyuki Hyuga (26) Mr.
Nagato's Secretary They went inside before evening Yasue Nagato (32) Second Daughter of Nagato Family Hideomi Nagato (36) Eldest Son of Nagato Family Your father told us to be especially alert, too Nobuko Nagato (39) Eldest Daughter of Nagato Family Kuranosuke Take (72) Nagato Family Butler There's no mistake.
After all, we only left the front door for 1 or 2 minutes when we discovered the body with you.
Hideomi-san must've used that chance to enter the pond from the other direction.
The late Mitsuaki-san was the only one who went outside.
Mitsuaki-san did?! When was this?! I'd say about 9:30 He said he was looking for Hideomi-san He was searching all over.
Between trees, around the pond Anything strange about Hideomi-san lately? Nagato Family Kitchen Yeah! Anything at all! Like, was anything bothering him? Not sure.
He didn't talk much.
Oh, yeah! His meals! His meals? He ate much more than usual the day of the murder and the day before! Yeah! He even ate dessert for once! It was surprising because he rarely even ate breakfast! Say, did Hideomi-san always wear the same bandages? No, Yasue-san changed them every three days.
I think they were last changed 2 days before the incident Wait, there was something weird! One of his sheets disappeared 3 days ago! Did you count right?! Yeah Hey, Kudo! Come with me! Over here! Check it out.
The bottom of Mitsuaki-san's and Yasue-san's balcony.
What's that mark? lt's like something hit it And that's the balcony Mitsuaki-san was pushed off of Hey! There's some here, too! But, there's a lot more on this one.
Whose room is that? Nobuko-san's.
Seems mighty fishy Alright! Let's check it out! You sure about this, Kudo?! Nobuko's Room This makes us no different than thieves! It's fine! No, it's not fine It's the phone! What do we do?! This is Nobuko.
He's got some guts So, what is it you want? Remember those drunken messages you left me two days ago? What time two days ago? You mean you forgot? You left a bunch of half-hour messages before 10:00 at night Oh, I did? You don't remember, so never mind.
Bye! Yeah.
That at least means the bandaged man on the balcony wasn't Nobuko-san.
That means only Hideomi-san coulda done it! Let's look around his room for now! Hideomi's Room All these books! He was a writer, all right! Just look who's trashing the place up An answering machine! We got some messages here! Really?! Let's listen! Hi! This is Yamada from Literature Era! I'll be at the usual place at 1:00 tomorrow to discuss your next manuscript! October 31st, 1:28 PM.
October 31st? That's the day before the incident This is Yamada.
I'm at the usual coffee shop.
November 1st, 3:04 PM.
This is Yamada.
I waited for 6 hours.
I guess you can't come, so I'll be going.
Hey! Don't tell me Hideomi-san was actually— Yeah, right! His estimated time of death was There was a way after all! Yeah! And only that person could've done it! Which means it should be here! Mitsuaki's and Yasue's Room If our theory is correct, it's probably in here Bingo! A muddy sheet! Oh, and a swimming cap! Found what I was looking for, too! Here you are, Hattori-kun! Give Miyuki-san her pen back now! Sorry! I forgot! We're leaving now, Conan-kun.
It's already dark out What time is it? Great! The store's still open! Ran-neechan! Could you buy these for us? Oh, and do you know who used the room above Nobuko-san's? I am for now Then, please have everyone come there in one hour! I'll watch this runt until then! Wait! Tell old man Kogoro to come right away! What's with them?! We put the old man to sleep with the tranquilizer gun Miyuki's Room We had them buy everything we need for our theory And our logic is flawless! But, we forgot something important Yeah.
The proof.
We have no proof! We were so focused on our theory that we completely forgot Hey.
What time is it? Why didn't you realize it! Aren't you the great eastern detective! Shut up! You're the western Wait! Why did that person Now I see! So that was it! OK! We'll begin in 10 minutes, as scheduled! What's wrong? Say, Hattori.
Have you ever killed someone? We're here, Hattori-kun.
What's this about? Huh? Where's Hattori-kun? It was I who called you here.
You did? What's going on? I finally figured out who killed Mitsuaki-san and threw Hideomi-san into the pond! Hey, now.
It was Hideomi-san who killed Mitsuaki-san! Then he poisoned himself in the pond! Even the handwriting on the will matched up with— The phone Now, then, Inspector.
Please pick it up.
Do so and the tragic night Mitsuaki-san died on the fence will play out once more! Hello? Heya! It's me! Oh, it's just you What the hell're you doing?! Hey! What's going on?! Someone cut the lights and attacked— Where are you?! The room below! Take a look! What the What is going on?! I don't know! But we have to save him! Stop right there.
This was how the killer drove everyone from the room to hide the terrifying truth that happened in here afterward.
W-Who are you?! It's me.
Hattori-kun?! The alarming phone call and the knife and bandaged face were all an act by Mitsuaki-san to frame Hideomi-san! That's absurd! The killer was covered in Mitsuaki-san's blood! And there were cuts on Mitsuaki-san's body! Those cuts he made himself.
The blood was applied to the bandaged face with a syringe.
The bandages and hat likely belonged to Hideomi-san.
So he wore a swimming cap to keep his own hairs out.
We found the syringe and cap in Mitsuaki-san's room! But, Mitsuaki-san was the one murdered! Why would he do all that? Most likely to murder President Nagato.
The president?! Yes.
The same president his accomplice drugged.
Accomplice?! That's right.
The plan was probably for Mitsuaki-san to kill the president and return below while his accomplice kept everyone downstairs.
But, he was killed by his accomplice instead.
Killed by the person who stayed behind you, Miyuki Hyuga-san! Miyuki-san did it? No way Mitsuaki-san musta been shocked to see you on the balcony of the supposedly-empty room.
So much so that he fell off! But, then he should've fallen with the knife on him! He likely tossed his knife, bandages, and hat outside before his climb.
Mitsuaki-san planned to strangle the president with the grappling hook in his jacket pocket! Naturally, Miyuki-san's only target was Mitsuaki-san.
Nobody would suspect a dead man had used a trick! Then what was that grappling hook? That's simple.
She pulled his rope in, grabbed the weight on the opposite end, then lowered it onto the railing below.
When she tossed the other end over the weight hit the bottom of the balcony and it stopped on its own! As proof, there are marks on the bottom of the balconies in the president's room and Mitsuaki-san's room.
And, on Nobuko-san's balcony below us.
Miyuki-san probably tested it the day before to see if it was possible.
The day before? Yes.
The president had heard it.
He did Yes.
And the sound of someone running through the hall.
Those footsteps belonged to Miyuki-san, who was calculating the time to run from Mitsuaki-san's room to the spare key and back.
In other words, she had planned this murder the day before! Are you saying she killed Hideomi-san, too? And what about the will?! I already told you, Inspector.
Her only target was Mitsuaki-san.
What?! The will was written by Hideomi-san, who committed suicide the day before.
The day before?! Yes.
Miyuki-san most likely found him dead in his room and then devised this murder! But, Mouri-kun.
The coroner calculated his time of death— The ground.
Eh? If you put a body in the ground and deprive it of air, it will decay at 1/8 the normal rate.
She probably had Mitsuaki-san help her wrap him in a sheet, and then they secretly buried him by the pond in the morning! There were already lots of holes for trees to be planted in, so nobody would notice an extra one.
So, who threw him in the pond? Mitsuaki-san.
He dug him up and threw him in there just before the murder While pretending to look for him, of course But, we saw Hideomi-sama the day of the murder Nope.
What you saw was a disguised Miyuki-san or Mitsuaki-san.
It was clear once we checked his answering machine that he was dead the day before the murder! But, why did Mitsuaki-san go along with Miyuki-san's plan? She probably told him this, "I have a good way for you to take the title of president" "and place all the blame on Hideomi-san.
" That can't be! He saved her life! She couldn't possibly frame him! Besides, you don't even have proof! Do you have the time, Miyuki-san? What's that have to do with anything, Dad? Oh? What happened to your watch? Um, I just forgot to— No, you didn't forget to put it on.
You can't put it on.
Because its strap broke.
When you pushed Mitsuaki-san off the balcony, he caught on to your watch strap.
If he tore it off, your watch would land with his body.
Flustered, you used something on you to stab his right hand! Something? Don't tell me it was her pen?! Yes.
She removed the cap with her mouth and stabbed him with her father's keepsake pen! But, how did you find that out? I took the cap off to write some notes and saw the tip was bent! Not even a fire could bend something like that! But, why would Miyuki-san do that?! The fire was probably the cause.
If our theory is correct, the ones who started that fire 20 years ago were Hideomi-san and Mitsuaki-san! What?! Assuming Hideomi-san didn't fix his burn scars to atone for his sin And if there was more to his will in which he confessed everything everything would fit.
Now I see.
It was revenge for her parents who died in the fire But one thing doesn't make sense.
Why did you make Nobuko-san angry so we'd find Hideomi-san? You did that on purpose, right? The police would've found him soon enough I didn't want to leave him in that cold water any more Miyuki-san! Stay away! There's gasoline inside here! Hey, now! Don't do anything foolish— I'm serious! Miyuki-san The detective's right! His will explained everything about the fire! They had to pay The carefree Mitsuaki and Hideomi-san, who never said a word about it But, I couldn't help but fall in love with him! He risked his life to save me! He always came to cheer me up after I lost my family! And he accepted my proposal! But Hideomi-san is gone now I'm all alone again I have to hurry to him No! That's pointless.
There's only water inside.
Why? Why?! Why?! Why?! Why?! His fire lit so easily! Why won't mine?! Y'know, Kudo.
Maybe we shoulda let her die after all Don't be dumb.
A detective who corners someone with logic, but lets them commit suicide, is no different from a murderer.
Pains me to hear that.
Only the "perfect" you could say such a line! There's no such thing as a perfect person.
Even I'm just one person Just one person Besides, I'm sure "he'll" save Miyuki-san.
"He"? That's enough, Hyuga-kun.
No more foolish talk about following Hideomi Sir! Your mother wasn't that sort of person.
What would you know?! You never knew her! But I did! After all, that pen of yours is a present I gave your mother when she transferred to my grade school! It seems you thought it was your father's, though.
I won't ask you to forgive what Hideomi did, but you're still young! Your life's just begun! Live strongly for Hideomi, too! I'm certain your mother wishes that as well! Kimi ga inai natsu tsurai asa wa unzari suru ne I'm weary of bad mornings Even if I stumble, I'll live my life in happiness tsumadzuite mo tanoshiku ikite-yuku yo Let's sally forth, toward that distant dream kuridasou oikakete haruka na yume o However far apart we are, I still know don'na ni hanarete-ite mo wakaru azayakasugiru kimi ga inai natsu In this overly vivid summer without you ano koe ano shigusa ga hirogatteku That voice, those mannerisms, they spread on out kotoba ni nanka dekinakute mo ii It doesn't matter if it can't be put into words My heart is blurred out by the overflowing sunshine koboreta hizashi ni kokoro ga nijinda Ahh, I pray slightly for a time that can never return ahh mou modorenai toki o chiisaku inotte-iru ahh mou modorenai toki o chiisaku inotte-iru Ahh, I pray slightly for a time that can never return Shin-Yokohama Station What?! His first love was Miyuki-san's mother?! Yeah, probably.
So he made up that lie to cover for her.
I thought he lied and said, "Miyuki-san was with me the whole time," as atonement for his son, but I guess it had another meaning! I bet he wanted to see his first love because he saw her image in Miyuki-san's face! Alright, Kudo.
Don't tell me you knew that the whole time! You said "Kudo" again! Don't tell me "Kudo" means— No, I said, "Kudoi (annoying)!" This runt wanted details about the incident, more so I called him annoying! You're from Osaka, all right! I'm the Japanese king of comedy!
