Everyone, if you find any large pieces of garbage,
Flower Road Experience
don't touch it and let me know instead.
Jeez.
Why do we have to clean up the shopping center?
This is part of our class, too.
It's an activity for getting to know our local community.
It may be part of class,
but that doesn't mean picking up trash isn't a pain in the butt.
If we pick up their garbage, it'll make it harder for adults to litter.
Yeah, but...
No matter how much we pick up, people will never stop littering.
Then what about the garbage right here?
Ayumi-chan, stop playing with that stray cat and help us over here.
It's not a stray.
See?
You're right.
What's going on here? Oh.
That's Isojima-san's cat.
Isojima-san?
Yeah.
She always cleans up around this area.
Isojima Chiemi
But recently Isojima-san hasn't been feeling well.
She's in the hospital right now.
Maybe that cat thought they'd get to see their owner if they came here.
Hey, what the heck is this?
I thought adults weren't supposed to litter while kids are cleaning up.
This is pretty awful.
Notice Please do not dispose of household garbage or dog poop in this bin Beika City Shopping Center
Looks like there used to be a garbage bin here.
There definitely was, right?
Then where did it go?
What is it?
I feel someone watching me.
What is it? Who is it?

The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery
"The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery!"
The World Sports Games.
It's an international sports festival held once every four years,
and this year, it's being held in Tokyo.
That's right. Tokyo is hosting the WSG.
So we're asking students of all years and classes to submit ideas
for entertaining the guests coming to Japan.
The best ideas will be implemented here at Teitan High School!
Oh, they were originally a stray cat,
so they get outside sometimes.
But it's okay. They always come home when it's time to eat.
Yaiba Punch! Yaiba Kick!
Hey, it's Kamen Yaiba.

I was looking forward to watching WSG Tokyo with my cat.
But in my current condition, I can barely get around in a wheelchair.
I can't go home yet.
But you were well enough to clean the shopping center until recently.
That's true.
Oh, right.
Do you know why the garbage bin that was here is gone now?
Oh, that garbage bin?
Whenever I cleaned this area, I'd dispose of my garbage in this bin.
The bin is probably gone because there's a feud going on at the nearby store association.
Thank you!
Hey, you.
Are you sure...
...you didn't...
...drop something?
We're sorry!
Good grief.
They ran off without picking up their trash.
This is all the fault of you eateries!
Now, now.
That's why the shopping center is overflowing with trash!
Deli
Japanese-style Cafe
You're wrong. It's because there are more tourists.
It's a problem for us, too.
Bicycle Shop
Clothing Shop
Bookstore
That's because you eateries recommend that people walk and eat at the same time.
That's why there's garbage all over town.
Florist
Now, now.
In any case, it sounds like the eateries should install garbage bins.
Why should we be the only ones to pay for garbage bins?
That's what the store association budget is for.
Most of the litter around town comes from people walking and eating.
Mister, you're part of the store association?
I'm here representing Poirot.
Now, now.
We're currently experiencing problems because of you eateries.
But that's no reason for you to remove the garbage bin in the empty lot.
Now there's trash all over the empty lot.
That garbage bin was paid for using the store association budget.
But recently, most of the litter around town comes from people walking and eating.
And it was constantly overflowing. It wasn't very sanitary.
You eateries should've been frequently collecting the trash.
Why are we the only ones responsible for collecting it?
Now, now.
Because most of it comes from people walking and eating.
This isn't going anywhere.
That's because there aren't enough garbage bins.
Who's there? Who's watching me?
Huh? It's gone.
Come to think of it, I feel like the number of garbage bins around town has decreased.
Apparently it's because people throw their trash into garbage bins,
even if they're overflowing.
And installing bins and collecting trash costs money.
Come to think of it, the store association was arguing about that today.
What? We're playing games at the professor's house again?
Same old, same old.
Then what do you want to do?
Again.
What's wrong with people? We worked so hard to clean this up yesterday.
Seriously. It's unforgivable.
All right, guys.
Indeed.
Yeah.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Me, too.
The Detective Boys will find the culprit!
Yeah!
I knew it.
What? Who dumped their trash?
Yes, where the garbage bin used to be in the empty lot.
Probably someone walking and eating again.
But there was other trash, too.
Well... no, wait.
Maybe the guys who run the eateries did it.
What? Why would the store owners dump garbage there?
So we'll put back the garbage bin we removed.
You said there was trash besides food-related garbage, right?
I wonder why?
Why would someone dump all their trash in a place
where there used to be a garbage bin?
That was probably the work of the bicycle shop
and the other stores opposed to installing garbage bins.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Why would the other stores dump garbage there?
To force the eateries to install a garbage bin.
They claim most of the litter comes from people walking and eating.
A little more to the right.
Right?
That's your left.
This way?
Yes, attach it around there.
Okay.
Professor.
Hey. How does it look, Ai-kun?
Looks good. Now walk sideways.
All right. Can you see me?
Yes, I can see you clearly.
Well, Haibara?
All right. Now we should get a great look at the culprit.
I see. So that's how it is.
How about maps of phone charging locations
and WiFi hotspots for foreigners that are written in English?
That seems cliché, too.
Then... I know.
How about a map showing the foreign cuisine restaurants in Beika City
for when the foreigners are feeling homesick?
Are there any restaurants like that around here?
Seriously? You come up with some ideas, Ran.
Sorry.
I feel like I'm right on the verge of an epiphany.
Ran-neechan.
Hey, brat.
Isn't it a little late for you to be walking home from school?
Yeah, I took a little detour.
You were playing games at the professor's house again, weren't you?
No, not that.
Soccer, then?
Yeah.
Subaru-san.
Hey. Are you all on your way home from school?
Yes. Are you coming back from your college classes as well?
You dummy, Subaru-san is a grad student.
You're a grad student at the Toto University Engineering School, right?
I'm surprised you remember, Conan-kun.
This tote bag sure is cool.
What do you keep in here?
Hey, Sonoko.
What's this?
It's a circuit board for measuring electronic noise.
I use it in my grad school classes.
I bet it's the receiver for a listening device.
How about this?
It's called a tester. It's for measuring voltage.
That's probably a bug detector.
I'm sorry, Subaru-san. Jeez, Sonoko.
Yeah, but doesn't this bag look so cool that you wouldn't
expect to find such lame stuff inside of it?
You're right.
The inside is divided.
Yes.
Since I use it to transport precision instruments, it has cushioned partitions.
Huh.
If you're walking around with that stuff, does that mean you're doing something for the FBI?
That's right.
The man who outwardly presents himself as grad student Okiya Subaru
is actually FBI agent Akai Shuichi.
But that's a story for another time.
I know!
What the?
What? We're playing games at the professor's house again?
Same old, same old.
Then what do you want to do?
You guys are always having the same conversation.
Again.
What's wrong with people? We just cleaned this up yesterday.
Haibara.
Nobody's showing up.
Someone came.
He's acting suspiciously.
Hey, isn't he...?
I know him.
Handmade Side Dishes
I buy croquettes at his store all the time.
Here you are.
That's one tuna corn dog and one cod roe croquette rice ball.
Thanks.
I told you, I just went to check it out because I noticed the camera.
I'm impressed you noticed from so far away.
Despite how I look, I've got a keen eye.
But mister, it looked like you were carefully observing your surroundings
as you approached the camera.
That's because I was wondering what the camera was filming.
Really?
Yes, really.
Come on, you're interfering with my business.
Get out of here.
Welcome.
That guy is definitely suspicious.
Yeah. He's the only one caught on camera.
Hold on.
What's this?
What is that? I'll rewind the video a little bit.
Something came down.
Could you play that again in slow motion?
Got it.
It's a crow.
Just a crow?
No, it's possible that the crow is the culprit.
What?
I have heard that crows will gather food or trash.
Then is this crow the culprit?
Haibara, can you tell if this crow has any trash in its beak?
Give me one minute.
Apply high-speed digital signal processing,
reduce noise, and adjust contrast.
That's probably the best I can do.
It doesn't look like this crow has anything in its beak.
Our theory about the crow being the culprit has fallen apart.
Then was it that man after all?
If only the camera had caught him dumping trash.
We did set up the camera at an angle that would capture the person's face.
In other words, this camera has a blind spot.
That is what that means.
Then couldn't we determine the range of that blind spot?
Based on our calculations,
we've determined that the camera captures an adult
from the knees up no matter where they approach from.
However, once they're right in front of the camera,
we can't see what's below it.
That height is roughly 115 centimeters.
In other words, a culprit shorter than 115 centimeters wouldn't be caught on camera.
But even if there were a culprit like that,
in order to avoid being caught on camera,
they'd have to approach from the fence side.
Not Visible
Visible
Is there anybody that small?
Does that mean a tiny child is the culprit?
Huh?
Now that I look closely, there's a hole here, like something passed through the bushes.
You're right.
Yeah.
What made this hole?
Conan-kun, did you figure it out?
Yeah.
The culprit is probably...
Isojima-san.
There something we'd like to ask you today.
Beika City Store Association Office
Really?
You figured out who's been dumping trash?
Yes.
You mean they were captured on that camera?
Yeah, they were.
First, take a look at this image.
Doesn't the camera seem a bit low?
We won't be able to see the culprit's face.
Hey, isn't that...
...Isojima-san's cat?
So the creature who was gathering garbage in that place every day...
...was the cat.
Isojima-san would clean that area every day.
She said she'd dispose of the trash she collected in the garbage bin at that empty lot.
We asked Isojima-san about it yesterday.
Now that you mention it...
You might be right.
That's why this cat has continued to collect trash in this place
where the bin used to be.
I see.
That's why you snuck out of the house every day.
Everyone, I'm terribly sorry for the trouble my cat has caused.
Oh, no.
That's okay.
I'll get better soon so I can get back to cleaning with this cat.
You don't have to do that.
Maybe we should reinstall the garbage bin.
We should install some in areas where people are likely to walk and eat, too.
Then we'll be reinstalling the garbage bin at the lot
as well as several more in other locations.
But the store association budget isn't enough to cover that, is it?
You're right.
Then what are we going to do?
Uh, um...
Why don't you use this?
Ran, what are you doing here?
Our class' idea is being turned into a product.
It was mostly Ran-kun's idea.
This is it.
A tote bag?
Not just any ordinary tote bag.
I call it the "garbage takeout bag."
Garbage Takeout Bag
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary tote bag with a Japanese-style pattern,
but when you hang a garbage bag off of the clips inside the bag,
it turns into a partition that allows you to separate out your trash.
You can put dirty things inside the trash bag.
In other words,
it's a bag that lets you take home whatever garbage you produce.
But because of its attractive appearance,
it doesn't look like you're carrying trash around with you.
So if you use it without attaching a garbage bag,
it functions as a reusable shopping bag.
And since it folds up so small,
it makes a great souvenir for foreigners.
I hope they take home both the idea of bringing their trash home with them
and a piece of Japanese culture as a souvenir.
How nice.
I'd love to sell those at my store.
We'd love to have you sell them in the shopping center.
Why don't you use the profits to install more garbage bins?
What a wonderful idea!
We'll use those bags and garbage bins to clean up the town.
How marvelous.
Is everyone okay with proceeding with this plan?
Yes.
Your Ran-neechan did a good job.
What?
An invitation to a party?
Yeah.
Only WSG Tokyo sponsors can attend the party.
Apparently several of Sonoko's dad's companies are sponsors.
So why are you inviting us?
Sonoko said it was a reward for finding the culprit who was dumping the trash.
You kids had better be on your best behavior.
I don't really get it, but it sounds like we'll be treated to great food.
I know this hotel.
It's the newly constructed big hotel by the Toto Railway Station.
Really?
I bet they have tons of tasty food.
Like eel, and eel, and eel...
And that's how we ended up attending the WSG Tokyo party.
WSG Tokyo Sponsor Company Rally
However, we had no idea that would be the start of that horrifying case...

Ah, it's a chapel.
Who invited you?
We received a letter from someone named Nichihara Taisei.
Someone gathered all of us here while concealing their identity.
This situation is the most cliché of all mystery clichés.
