Hey! Coming your way, Haibara!
Huh?
What are you doing?
It's your fault for kicking it someplace weird!
Who, me?
Yes!
Ai-chan, I'll go get it.
Thanks, Yoshida-san.
Yoshida-san.
What's the matter?
That woman...
She seems sort of sad.
Yeah.
Hey, someone's coming.
I see. She's been waiting for him.
Doesn't look that way.
Is she waiting for someone?
Does it matter?
I'm curious.
A beautiful woman is drinking alone in a park.
There must be some reason for it.
Let's ask her what she's doing.
I agree!
Guys!
Jeez. Sticking their noses where they don't belong again...
Komori Tomoko (35) Widow
Hey.
What are you doing?
Who, me?
Why are you drinking alone in the park?
Oh, you saw me. How embarrassing.
Why do you have two glasses when you're alone in—
I-I didn't mean anything by it.
Don't cry.
Ma'am, are you okay?
I'm sorry.
The tears came when I remembered.
What did you remember?
My beloved...
He died...
What are we supposed to do about this?
Right now at this moment, light pierces the darkness!
Overcome all limits with your cool reasoning skills!
A woman drinking alone...
What drama awaits behind those tears?
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
Miss Lonely and the Detective Boys

Sasagokita Botanical Garden
How pretty.
There are all kinds of flowers blooming.
I'm impressed.
Let's go over there.
Okay.
Hey, wait!
Guys!
How nice. They have so much energy.
By the way, Tomoko-san, are you sure this is okay?
You brought us to this botanical garden.
It's fine. Spending the weekend alone was boring anyway.
Tomoko-san, come here!
Wait! I'll be right there!
But is this really for the best?
Well, I doubt she has time to be sad while handling those kids.
Maybe it's good for her.
Yeah.
I wasn't sure what would happen when she started crying in the park,
but maybe it turned out all right.
Yeah.
It's an emergency!
We can't find Ayumi-chan!
What?
There is a lost child in the park.
The friends of Yoshida Ayumi-chan, a girl dressed in red, are looking for her.
Please come to the information center if you have any information.
Information Sasagokita Botanical Garden
She'll be found right away.
Thank you.
It's okay. I'm sure she's fine.
Excuse me.
I think this is the lost girl from the announcement just now.
Ayumi-chan!
Conan-kun, Ai-chan!
Ayumi-chan!
Ai-chan, I was so scared!
There, there.
Kajiki Kohei (45) Men's Cosmetics Company President
Excuse me.
Thank you so much.
It's fine. I'm just glad your daughter is all right.
Oh, she's not mine.
What?
They're friends. I don't have any children.
Oh, excuse me.
It's fine.
You must like kids.
Yes.
So do I.
Well, goodbye.
Goodbye.
Now that I'm relieved, I'm hungry.
Perfect timing.
Why don't we have lunch together?
I'd like to thank you.
I'm terribly sorry, but I don't think I can.
Come on.
Let's go.
Um...
Is this okay?
Why wouldn't it be?
Come on. Let's go, everyone!
Okay!
Kajiki Kohei-san, you're a company president?
I manufacture and sell men's cosmetics.
I see.
What are mech prosthetics?
It's men's cosmetics, Genta-kun.
It's makeup for men.
In this day and age, men need to take proper care of their appearance, too.
Kajiki-san, do you often come to botanical gardens?
Yes.
I said the same thing in a magazine interview the other day,
but I love the outdoors and frequently go on walks alone.
I love exercise, too. I even play soccer.
Really? We're good at soccer, too.
Should we play a game sometime?
Bring it on!
By the way, Kajiki-san, do you have a girlfriend?
What? Oh, um...
Well, I...
I'm curious, too.
Do you?
Embarrassingly, not at this time.
Oh, my. In that case, what kind of women do you like?
Aw, jeez.
Several Days Later
Hey, mister! Coming your way!
Yeah, sure.
Hey, quit spacing out!
Oh, sorry.
Hey! Ball's coming your way, mister!
Okay.
Does Tomoko-san seem totally different to you?
She's pursuing him in her own way.
Huh? What does that mean?
What? I mean Tomoko-san is trying to match Kajiki-san's tastes.
But why?
Idiot.
Wow!
That looks delicious!
What a broad variety!
It's good!
Really? That's great.
You've got food on your face.
Thanks.
Um, Kajiki-san, do you like it?
Oh, yes. Very much.
Really? That's good.
I'm delighted there are meatballs in this lunch. They're my favorite.
I was thinking how happy I would be if I could eat like this every day.
Oh, uh...
Is that a proposal?
No, I didn't mean it like that.
I mean, not entirely, but, uh...
Several Days Later
What are we doing today? Soccer again?
Since she invited us to her house, I doubt that.
I want to play cards.
Why are you coming with us, Professor?
Since she's been looking after you kids, I thought I should thank her.
Are you sure you didn't come because you heard Tomoko-san is beautiful?
That might be a factor.
Anyway, this place is huge.
Does she live here alone?
Before her husband passed away, it was probably the two of them.
Who is it?
Oh, uh...
It's Professor Agasa.
I'm something like a guardian to these kids.
Oh, is that right?
Please come in.
Excuse the intrusion!
Kajiki-san's here, too.
Yes. Kohei-san is waiting inside for all of you.
I invited you here today because I have something to tell you.
Didn't I tell you? She's not single anymore.
By the way, where is Kajiki-san?
On the third floor terrace.
We were eating and chatting together just now.
Afterwards we had a drink, and he began to feel tired.
He having a bit of a nap at the moment.
Your phone is ringing.
It's not mine.
It's not mine either.
We're here.
Then whose phone is—
What?!
Wasn't that...?
Could it be?
The deceased is Kajiki Kohei-san, forty-five years old.
He was the president of a men's cosmetics company.
What's the cause of death?
A cerebral contusion resulting from a fall.
He seems to have fallen from there.
Are you the owner of the house?
Yes.
Forgive me, but what was your relationship with Kajiki-san?
He and I were in a romantic relationship.
You were dating?
Yes.
We met and began dating quite recently.
He proposed to me today.
Today?
He'd asked me before,
but I had just lost my husband.
Judging by the situation, foul play seems unlikely.
We can't be sure yet.
Excuse me.
This was an accident.
We saw it happen.
What?
We're not lying.
When we came to the terrace, Kajiki-san tripped and fell.
He fell from here?
It seems that way.
You and Kajiki-san were drinking here?
Yes.
How much did you drink?
I didn't have that much.
But he had enough to get drunk and fall asleep.
Look at this.
A phone?
That must be Kohei-san's.
What's the victim's phone doing here?
I figured it out.
Figured out what?
Why Kohei-san fell.
Seriously?
Yes. Kohei-san received a call after getting drunk and falling sleep.
Woken by his ringtone, he hurriedly tried to answer his phone.
However, his hand slipped, and he dropped his phone.
He got up to collect his phone from around the edge,
but because he was drunk, he tripped.
Because the railing he grabbed onto was rotten,
he unfortunately fell from the terrace.
Based on the victim's blood alcohol concentration, we know he was drunk.
It's possible he tripped on this step, too.
It's my fault for leaving him alone.
It's not your fault, Tomoko-san.
That's right. It was an accident.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
What's this?
Looks like a contact lens.
It must've been the victim's.
The body only had a contact in one eye.
Maybe he dropped it when he rubbed his eyes.
Probably.
Since we haven't found anything suspicious,
it seems likely that his death was accidental.
What are you doing, Genta-kun?
Sorry. I was thirsty.
Don't worry about it.
I'll get something to wipe it up.
I see. So that's how it is.
Hey, Professor.
What is it?
We'll be leaving now.
Wait one minute.
What is it, Agasa-san?
This wasn't an accident.
Kajiki-san didn't fall by accident.
He was made to do so.
You're saying he was murdered?
That's right.
Look closely at his phone.
There isn't a scratch on it even though it was dropped on the ground.
There aren't any dents or scratches.
Isn't it possible that Kajiki-san's phone was on the ground near the railing
not because he dropped it, but because someone put it there?
Someone?
Who do you mean?
There's only one person who had full access to this house.
Even if she left his phone by the railing,
surely that wasn't enough to make him fall.
That's not the only thing she did.
She used an illusion to make Kajiki-san trip and fall.
An illusion? What illusion?
She made his phone appear to be floating in front of the step.
His phone?
Is that possible?
I'll recreate it for you using this spray bottle that was in the hallway.
A-A spray bottle?
First, place the phone on the step near the edge.
Then use this to wet the floor away from the phone.
You're right. It looks like the phone is floating.
I see.
When the drunk victim saw this, even if he thought it seemed strange...
He might accept it as the truth without thinking too hard about it.
Right?
But the key to this illusion isn't that the phone appeared to be floating,
but that the phone appeared to be in front of the step.
What do you mean?
In other words, woken by his phone's ringtone,
because of the illusion,
Kohei-san thought he could reach his phone before he hit the step.
Believing he was safe, he went to pick up his phone without much care.
But his phone was actually on top of the step.
He misjudged the situation and tripped on the step before he could reach his phone
and fell from the terrace.
Because this illusion vanishes once the ground dries,
it also has the benefit of leaving no trace.
I see.
The railing was probably rotted beforehand
and made to break at the slightest touch.
Do you have any proof?
Of course.
What proof is there?
Kajiki-san used foundation to cover his wrinkles, didn't he?
A contact was missing from the body,
but there were no signs that he rubbed around his eyes.
However, there was something that looked like fingerprints on his upper and lower eyelids.
We did find those.
No one would open their eyes to remove just one of their contacts.
It's only natural to assume someone opened them for him and removed one.
And when Genta-kun spilled the water earlier,
you changed your mind about removing your handkerchief from your pocket.
Perhaps the foundation you wiped from your fingers is still on that handkerchief.
But why would she do that?
Because a large difference in acuity between your two eyes disrupts your depth perception,
increasing your risk of falling.
When combined with the illusion,
it became extremely likely that Kohei-san would trip over the step.
There's most likely foundation on Komori-san's handkerchief
and the phone used to call Kajiki-san's somewhere in this house.
Komori-san, do you have anything to say?
And could we examine your handkerchief and the inside of your house?
It was going so well, too.
Tomoko-san?
Stay away from me!
Tomoko-san, what's gotten into you?
You've ruined my masterful performance.
I hate little kids like you!
So you were using the children from the start.
That's right.
He said in a magazine interview that he liked kids.
In order to catch a big fish, you need to catch some little ones first.
Hey, check this out!
I-I-In this room...
What is all this?
Surely not all of them, right?
My plans were ruined because of you.
Komori Tomoko-san, you can tell us the rest at the station.
I'll tell you,
but I doubt you'll understand.
What an unpleasant case.
It seems like she was committing the same crime over and over.
She was an insane criminal.
I suppose you can't judge a person by their looks.
Hey, I wonder what she's doing.
Maybe she's rescuing a cat.
But I don't see any sign of a cat.
Let's go ask her what she's doing.
You're right.
There must be some reason a woman is climbing a tree alone.
Don't.
But aren't you curious?
I am!
Let's go check it out!
Hey!
They're already gone.
They sure are.
