Detective Conan Episode 959 "The Poodle and the Shotgun (Part Two)"
Ran, the old man, and I were invited to the birthday party
of dog food company president Hinomiya Anna-san and arrived at a yacht harbor.
Hinomiya Anna (24) Happywow President
But then...
Right in front of us, Anna-san was shot by a masked man, who then fled the scene.
Anna-san's ex-boyfriend Hyodo Makoto emerged as a suspect.
Hyodo Makoto (38) Anna's Former Boyfriend
But Hyodo had an alibi. When the shooting took place,
he was robbing Anna-san's apartment, which was ten kilometers away.
However, that night...
Right now at this moment, light pierces the darkness!
Overcome all limits with your cool reasoning skills!
The suspect dies in a shocking development!
The truth is unclear in this shooting case!
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
The Poodle and the Shotgun (Part Two)
"The Poodle and the Shotgun, Part Two!"
If Hyodo was killed, too,
does that mean he wasn't the murderer?
That's ridiculous!
Then who's the culprit?
Calm down, Mori-kun.
There's no guarantee the same person killed Anna-san and Hyodo.
It was definitely Hyodo who killed Anna-san.
The question is who killed Hyodo?
Look, Detective Takagi.
What's that?
Excuse me, forensics!
Aren't those the clothes worn by the culprit who shot Anna-san?
You're right. It was definitely those.
Maybe they used that black towel as a mask.
What's this stain?
Maybe it's from the cake that was on the boat.
It probably stuck to them when they fled.
Which means the culprit, Hyodo,
hid his clothes and gun here after shooting Anna-san.
But why did he come back?
Clothes and guns are evidence that tie a culprit directly to their crime.
He probably intended to come back for them from the start.
Which means someone who learned of Hyodo's plan
waited here for him and killed him.
Inamura?
What is it?
The name Inamura is embroidered onto the towel.
Inamura?
Does it belong to VP Inamura?
Most likely.
Inspector Megure.
Maybe you should have Inamura-san, Enami-san, and Morishima-san come back.
I'm sure one of them knows the truth.
Thank you. We already asked the three of them to come back here.
Takagi, make sure they've arrived.
Yes, sir.
Hey!
You idiot, the police already know to do that!
Right...
You sure do eat a lot.
Anna-san must have made her dog food taste like something you love.
MPD
Inamura Koshiro (45) Happywow Vice President
Inspector, does this mean it wasn't Hyodo who killed the president?
Enami Machiko (31) Happywow Director
No, we still believe he's a suspect.
Morishima Sota (22) Happywow Secretary
Hyodo probably came to collect the gun and clothes he hid.
He was attacked by someone when he did.
Someone?
Who was it?
Inamura-san, you're certain that this is your gun?
Please be careful!
That's an important piece of evidence.
That's definitely mine.
Was this the weapon used to kill Hyodo?
Yes. One blow to the head.
Look. The wood is cracked.
They must have hit him pretty hard.
Inamura-san, do you recognize this towel?
What?
It's embroidered with the name Inamura.
What?
Inamura-san asked me to order this for him.
Yes.
I had it made to commemorate a hole in one I made while golfing.
Wasn't a similar towel used to wrap the champagne?
Yes. I was also thinking about giving the towel to the president as a present.
The culprit who shot Anna-san used this as a mask.
What? That's impossible.
I haven't given out any towels yet.
You haven't?
Then how did the culprit get one?
I know. The towel was in my car when it was stolen.
They must have taken it from there.
Which means Hyodo stole not only your gun from your car,
but also your towel, and used both in the crime.
It's the only explanation.
Inamura-san.
I can only imagine that you must have helped Hyodo.
You can't be serious! You think I'm his accomplice?
Once Anna-san was dead, you'd become the president.
And by killing off Hyodo, no one else would know the truth.
Am I wrong?
You're delusional!
And Hyodo was robbing the president's apartment when she was killed!
He has an alibi!
You can't even prove Hyodo did it!
How can you accuse me of being his accomplice?!
When you put it that way, you're right...
Keep it together, old man.
I've got it!
Inspector, I've broken down Hyodo's alibi.
Really, Mori-kun?
Morishima-san.
You said you awoke inside the locker and saw the culprit hiding in the cabin.
Y-Yes.
But what if you were lying?
What?
What if the culprit wasn't in the cabin in the whole time, but left to rob the apartment?
I'm not lying!
But if your testimony is false, then Hyodo's alibi is undone.
And by killing off Hyodo, you've committed the perfect crime.
Are you saying I'm Hyodo's accomplice?
Hyodo conned Anna-san out of a large sum of money.
Perhaps he promised to give you a share.
I owe the president everything!
I could never betray her!
Morishima-kun used to be a host.
Anna's favorite.
A host?
Anna dragged him out of there and offered him an especially high salary.
Perhaps you intended to get engaged someday.
Please don't!
I've never even considered that!
But maybe you were unsettled when you heard Anna was secretly seeing Hyodo.
I thought Hyodo and Anna-san broke up.
They were forced to.
But they secretly began meeting again.
Recently I saw Anna walking around town in a leopard-print dress.
A leopard-print dress?
I remember seeing a leopard-print dress in Anna-san's apartment.
Hyodo liked those kinds of clothes.
So when I saw that dress, I knew immediately.
Sally-chan, wait!
Sally-chan!
Sally-chan.
I'm sorry.
I was taking her for a walk, and she picked up some garbage.
Garbage?
It's a towel,
embroidered with the name Inamura.
What?
It's all clear now.
Two towels.
What's the meaning of this?
I don't know either.
Mori-kun, what does this mean?
What? Well...
Dad!
Th-The Sleeping Kogoro!
Inspector, first we must prove
that it was Hyodo who killed Anna-san.
Detective Takagi.
Yes?
Could you bring those shoes over here?
Yes.
These are the shoes Hyodo was wearing.
Yesterday night, Sally-chan jumped on Hyodo's legs.
That proves the culprit was Hyodo.
There was dog food scattered all over the cabin in which the culprit hid.
And the culprit, in other words, Hyodo, stepped on the dog food with those shoes.
Sally-chan reacted to that smell.
That's it. Because I fell in dog food on the boat
Sally-chan bit my butt.
Inamura-san, that dog food is an original product, isn't it?
Yes.
It's a new product that uses a special fragrance not used by any other company.
If you analyze the fragments stuck to the bottom of these shoes,
you'll find Hyodo was in the cabin before shooting Anna-san.
In other words, it proves he shot Anna-san.
Mori-kun, then who was robbing Anna-san's apartment at the same time?
Hyodo's accomplice, of course.
His accomplice?
Unfortunately, they're already dead.
Dead?
C-Could it be?
Anna-san herself?
That's right. Hyodo's accomplice was the murdered Anna-san.
Morishima-san, before coming to the party, did Anna-san go to a nail salon?
Yes. She always does.
She loved wearing differently colored nails every day.
But there were thin scratches on the nails of Anna-san's body.
I found it strange that she showed up to a party with scratched nails,
but the truth was revealed by the pet camera footage.
Her nails were scratched when Sally-chan jumped on her.
If you examine Sally-chan's nails, you'll find nail polish matching Anna-san's nails.
But why would the victim Anna-san be his accomplice?
Naturally, Anna-san didn't believe she would be killed either.
What Anna-san wanted was to kill her vice president Inamura-san.
What?
Why Inamura-san?
Anna-san feared that Inamura-san would take over her company.
Take over?
It's true that Anna feared Inamura-san.
Since she was new to management,
when the veteran Inamura-san interjected, she couldn't protest.
Honestly, I heard her complain about it more than once.
She thought Inamura-san only thought of her as an advertisement.
She's wrong!
I intended to support her for as long as I could!
I've never even thought of taking over the company!
Inamura-san, I believe you.
But Hyodo was a dyed-in-the-wool conman.
It was easy for him to talk her into a murder plot.
But isn't that just your deduction—your imagination?
No.
Didn't you know that Hyodo used his silver tongue
to talk Anna-san into being his accomplice, Enami-san?
Why me?
Detective Takagi, show Enami-san the pet camera footage.
Got it.
You lied about Anna-san wearing the leopard-print dress
after seeing the pet camera footage.
I wasn't lying!
I really did see her walking around town in this dress!
That's odd.
Hey, Conan!
Here.
She just bought that dress and hadn't worn it outside yet.
After all, when I looked under the hem yesterday,
the price tag was still on it.
You were probably lying about her walking around in it.
So, what?
You're accusing me of being an accomplice just because I made a mistake?
Hold on.
The president and Hyodo were planning to kill me, weren't they?
That's right.
But that was a fake plot intended to have Anna-san fabricate Hyodo's alibi.
Hyodo's real aim was to kill Anna-san from the start.
And Enami-san knew about it.
You're still saying that?
It's the only explanation.
Before I explain why,
you must know about another major trick.
A major trick?
Enami-san, you were working with Hyodo from the start.
You're lying!
Then how do you explain the watch on your wrist?
Morishima-san, isn't that the watch
you bought for Anna-san at Enami-san's request?
Yes. I noticed when I saw it.
I thought she bought herself the same thing.
That's right. I already owned this one.
I gave Anna her present.
But since she was shot immediately, I don't know what happened to it.
No.
You knew Anna-san would be shot.
That's why you brought an empty box.
You must've thought it would be a waste to break such an expensive watch.
That doesn't prove I was working with Hyodo!
Then why did you kill Hyodo?
When Detective Takagi showed Inamura-san the shotgun, you said something.
Look. The wood is cracked.
They must have hit him pretty hard.
None of us said he was bludgeoned to death.
That...
That detective said he took one shot to the head.
Normally a person would assume one blow to the head with a gun meant the victim was shot.
They wouldn't think he was bludgeoned.
Not only that, but you accurately identified the section used to strike him.
When Hyodo came to the boat where the gun and clothes were hidden,
you swung the shotgun down on Hyodo, killing him.
You saw Hyodo remove his mask as he was fleeing.
He probably removed it unconsciously because he had trouble breathing.
But you needed that towel to convince us
that Inamura-san killed Hyodo.
That's why you picked up the fallen towel from the deck and hid it with the culprit's clothes.
You're the only one who could've done it.
The towel you picked up should smell like champagne.
But because Hyodo used his cake-coated hand
to remove the real towel from his face, it had to have cake on it.
And that's the towel Sally-chan brought us.
With Anna-san and Hyodo killed, if Inamura-san was arrested,
the company would be yours and yours alone.
Enami-san, you're the culprit!
Stop, Enami-san!
You're lying! You're making it up!
Stop!
Don't!
Sally-chan!
We emptied it. This is the end.
It's okay, Sally-chan.
I can't believe my plans were ruined by a poodle.
Why did you choose to work with Hyodo?
You didn't have to kill Anna-san.
That company is mine.
I should've been president!
Even if I hadn't worked with Hyodo, I still would've killed Anna!
Mori Detective Agency
They found a new owner for Sally-chan.
That's great news.
Yeah. We were this close to having to look after her.
I would've been okay with that.
You idiot, dogs are too much trouble to take care of.
Besides—
What? Isn't this dog food?!
