The body of magazine editor Nakatsu Kyogo-san
was found pressed face-first into concrete on Haido High School grounds.
Nakatsu Kyogo (42) Magazine Editor
The suspect is Kuchiki Yusuke-san,
Kuchiki Yusuke (38) Unemployed
who was found face-up in the concrete next to Nakatsu-san.
However, Kuchiki-san is claiming an alien descended in a UFO,
murdered Nakatsu-san while floating in midair,
and flew away in its UFO.
See?
Aliens do exist.
Y-Yeah...
No, it wasn't an alien.
This was a murder committed by a human.

Chiba's UFO Case (Part Two)
"Chiba's UFO Case, Part Two!"
Chiba-kun, what's going on?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about the concrete murder
that happened on October 4th.
Everyone's talking about it online right now.
They're saying the murder was committed by an alien,
and the police are hiding the existence of aliens.
The article contained a lot of information
we hadn't made public yet and says it came from a famous detective.
Oh, that must be Mori-san.
I ran into him at the crime scene the other day.
Then head to his place immediately and ask him what's going on!
Y-Yes, sir!
Sheesh.
Chiba-kun has changed, hasn't he?
He hasn't changed a bit.
He still seems to be obsessed with anime and manga.
I meant his build.
Y-You think so?
Chiba-kun.
I heard you got in trouble.
For leaking secret information.
You shouldn't do that.
You have to be careful when talking to Mori-san.
But you two talk to him all the time.
I always tell him not to tell anyone.
You shouldn't boast about that.
You can't blame me for wanting Mori-san's help.
I wasn't making any progress no matter how many people I questioned.
Come to think of it, Yumi told me something.
If you want to know what happened three months ago,
you should've come three months ago.
I couldn't help it.
The man we found at the crime scene suddenly changed his story.
At first he said he lost consciousness
when he was bathed in a bright light.
But now he's saying the murderer
was an alien who flew away in a UFO.
I'm exhausted from being made to canvas the area
around the crime scene every day.
You do look a little haggard.
Have you lost weight?
About ten kilos.
The dieting methods in the package I received have been really effective.
Since I'm losing a little bit every day,
I look forward to getting on the scale.
I should try the memory diet
and eating order diet next.
Maybe I'll send him the eight hour diet, too.
Mori Detective Agency
Sorry.
I told my drinking buddies about it half-jokingly the other day.
Sheesh.
Tell them to take down that blog post right way.
But is it true that the man at the crime scene recently
and suddenly started claiming it was an alien?
Yeah, he said he suddenly remembered after three months.
Naturally, that's a secret, too.
But that man keeps a blog, so I took at look.
He's casually written about getting arrested for trespassing in a person's yard
while trying to get a photo of a UFO,
and being stopped for speeding
while chasing after a UFO in his car.
He said it's the police's fault the UFO got away,
and that maybe they're deliberately blocking him so information about aliens
won't get out to the public.
R-Really?
Isn't this guy a UFO fanatic?
I would've expected him to brag on his blog
about seeing an alien fly down in a UFO to commit a murder\
before telling the police about it.
Y-You're right.
If he wanted to insist it wasn't him, he would've written about it.
Anyway, did anyone else see the UFO?
Didn't it fly towards Haido Park?
Yes,
but everyone was at the Haido Festival that day.
Hardly anyone was in the park.
Then what about the summer break when Ran's friend saw the UFO?
Since a grade school teacher
was pushed down the stairs at Haido Park before summer break,
everyone had been avoiding the park out of fear.
People started returning to the park after security cameras
were placed at the end of August, though.
Why don't we try going to that man's house now?
N-Now?
If the Great Detective Kogoro solves the case after talking to him,
it might get you off the hook.
Kuchiki-san.
Kuchiki Yusuke-san?
Yes, what is it?
I'm Chiba with the MPD.
Could we come inside to talk to you for a minute?
W-Wait a minute.
I-It's a little messy.
Okay, please come in.
Excuse the intrusion.
I don't have any tea to offer you.
Don't worry about it.
Did he really clean?
Please don't touch anything.
And who's this kid?
Wow!
There are lots of photos of UFOs.
Who the hell are you?
Oh, he's just a kid I'm taking care of who likes UFOs.
What?
Wait...
Hey!
What are you...?
Plastic Bag (Black) 70L 10 Count

You little brat!
Sorry about that.
He's a naughty little kid.
You wait outside.
Conan-kun?
What?
You want me to tell you Hina-chan's number?
Yeah, I had a question for her.
Hold on.
Hina-chan's right here.
What? Why?
Our karate clubs had a joint practice session today.
We just finished.
I'll put her on.
Hina-chan, Conan-kun called for you.
He said he wanted to talk to you.
Oh, that smart kid?
Wada Hina (17) Haido High School Second-Year
What is it?
Did you find the alien?
Not yet.
I was just wondering what color
the cigar-shaped UFO you saw was.
It was black.
It was a little shiny, but it was solid black.
Got it.
Thanks.
Hey, wait.
I see.
So that's how it is.
That's why
he didn't blog about seeing a UFO.
So no one would identify his unidentified flying object.
Coming.
Sorry I'm late.
It was just the right distance, so I jogged here from home.
Um...
Who are you?
I'm Chiba from the MPD.
Try not to forget.
Detective Chiba, we've been waiting for you.
That's right.
Conan-kun asked me to come.
You solved the concrete murder case, didn't you?
What?
Remember that thing we made last night?
It was the trick the culprit used.
Oh, right.
You mean that long skinny bag we made by taping black plastic bags together?
So that wasn't your science homework.
In any case, let's get everyone together and test it out.
After all,
there isn't a cloud in the sky today.
What do you want?
We already talked in my apartment the other day.
So you're still insisting it was an alien
and not you?
It had to be.
Nakatsu-kun was found in the concrete,
having been suffocated with a bag, right?
I may have been collapsed in the concrete next to him,
but I didn't have a bag on me.
There weren't any footprints leaving the concrete either.
And there wasn't much wind that day,
so the bag couldn't have been blown away.
Couldn't you have walked backwards out of the concrete,
while retracing the steps you took in?
You idiot,
then those footprints would be deeper.
What were you doing inside our school's grounds,
when you're not even a student, anyway?
Hina-chan.
I saw a UFO around here the day before.
So I brought Nakatsu-san since he's the editor of a UFO magazine.
You can see the whole area from the roof of the school.
Who is that girl, anyway?
She says she saw
a cigar-shaped UFO flying over Haido Park
over summer break, too.
See!
It does exist.
I must've seen the same one.
I was blinded by a bright light as it left,
and lost consciousness.
Was that UFO
this color?
N-No,
the one I saw was more gray.
But you can make this thing
fly through the sky like a UFO.
And suffocate someone, of course.
What are you talking about?
Even if you covered them with this giant bag,
you couldn't kill someone.
Then try putting it on.
See?
Even if you hold the opening shut, you can still breathe.
Detective Chiba,
could you try tightening the bag from behind?
L-Like this?
That's it.
Better too big than too small.
You could suffocate someone like this.
I can't breathe!
D-Dad...
B-But I wasn't carrying that giant bag
in the security camera footage.
Y-Yeah.
You probably hid it in the shrubbery.
Even if I did,
nobody found a huge bag at the crime scene.
Yeah, because it flew away like a UFO
after you filled the bag with air.
A-Air?
How?
It seems like you could inflate it by running around with the bag open.
There weren't any footprints like that in the concrete.
Try waving it in a sideways figure eight motion.
Like this?
Wow!
It's...
...filling with air!
Once it's inflated,
you'll be ready to go after tying the bag shut.
O-Okay.
See?
You can inflate the bag that way without running around.
You're right.
But if you wave the bag around like that,
your footprints would be deeper there.
That's right.
All these footprints are about the same depth.
He really is just a kid.
You could hide the footprints if a giant monster stepped on them, though.
A monster?
Th-That's it.
He fell on top of those deep footprints.
The imprint of his body hid them.
But that giant air-filled bag
wasn't found at the crime scene.
It probably would've blown in a strong wind,
but there wasn't any blowing that day.
Don't worry.
Once enough time passes,
the black bag will become a UFO.
What?
It's just an inflated bag.
No matter how long we wait,
it won't...
It's floating!
Wow.
That's it.
The UFO I saw was like that, too.
It's called a solar balloon.
When the air inside the bag is heated by the sun and inflates,
the density of the air inside decreases, so it floats.
The bag is black so it gets hotter in the sun,
and it's long and thin,
so the air heats up quicker all the way through.
I saw it on an experiment program on TV.
Really?
I see.
In other words, you took the following steps:
Knowing concrete would be poured
on this section of Haido High grounds,
you called Nakatsu-san here.
You covered his head from behind,
using the skinny black plastic bag you hid in the shrubbery beforehand.
Then you suffocated him inside the concrete,
and pressed his dead body into the concrete.
You filled the bag with air using the method we just demonstrated and tied it off,
fell onto the deep footprints you left,
and raised the bag above you.
Then you waited
for the sun to heat the air
inside the bag so it would float away.
As expected, the construction crew found you
when they came to check on the concrete.
Then the long skinny shadow on the security camera footage...
It was the shadow of the solar balloon he used to commit his crime.
What about the UFO I saw during summer break?
It was probably him testing
to see if the black bag would actually float.
Y-You've been talking like I'm the one who did it,
but do you have any proof?
Do you have any proof that I released the floating black bag?
I'd been holding back until now,
but if this is how the police are going to treat me,
I'll post it all over the internet.
That the murderer was an alien,
and the police are trying to hide it.
The proof's probably caught in the trees at Haido Park.
What?
You were able to collect the bag you tested with,
but security cameras were installed in the park at the end of summer break.
I see.
He originally planned to say it was an alien
after collecting the bag.
But since he couldn't retrieve the bag because of the cameras,
he couldn't say it anymore.
If you weren't careful,
the police might gather eyewitness accounts of a flying black bag,
and the bag would be found stuck in a tree inside the park.
Since there weren't any accounts after three months,
you went with your original plan,
and started saying an alien in a UFO did it.
Once the bag is found,
Nakatsu-san's saliva and the culprit's fingerprints will be on it.
There's no proof more decisive than that.
What an idiot, though.
I can't believe you were willing to get stuck in concrete
to make it look like an alien did it.
I-I just did what he wanted.
Nakatsu looked at the UFO photos
I worked so hard to take and said...
This one's no good. It's out of focus.
And it's too small to tell what it is.
Bring me some more impactful photos.
I don't care if you have to use tricks.
It's not like UFOs exist anyway.
He said that even though he's the editor of a UFO magazine!
Then you should've put him to shame
by sticking to your guns and taken better photos of real UFOs.
But you tried to get away with murder
by framing the aliens you believe in.
You're the one that looks like
an unidentified alien to me.
Kuchiki Yusuke,
let's go.
Detective Chiba's so cool.
Kyogoku-senpai would've kicked his butt.
Oh, right.
Kyogoku-san was in the Haido High karate club.
Yeah.
He's studying abroad right now,
but apparently some rich girl has been following him around.
Anyway, I'm surprised you figured out the trick he used.
There were science books, black plastic bags,
and tape stuffed in a cupboard at his apartment.
But how did you know he was hiding them there?
His hands.
When he let us in after cleaning up his apartment,
his right hand was paler than the rest of him.
That's how I knew he'd been raising his right hand
above his heart to hide something important.
But I'm sure you noticed, too.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Of course I noticed.
Chiba-kun, I heard the news.
They say you caught the alien.
Really?
No,
I arrested a suspect who tried to pin his crime on an alien.
Although I have Conan-kun to thank for most of it.
Chiba's gotten a little handsome.
Not just a little.
He's pretty hot.
So he hadn't been trying until now.
I know.
He's like the protagonist of a police drama.
Maybe I'll go for him.
No, me first.
What?
Several Days Later
Chiba-kun.
You're back to normal.
R-Really?
I was sent a bunch of early Valentine's Day chocolate.
They were so good, I couldn't stop eating them.
You shouldn't overeat.
A police officer needs to be fit.
The same goes for you, sir.
You're right.
He's rebounded completely.
I'd never go for Chiba-kun.
No way.
Okay!
