Detective Conan Episode 1006 "Who Poisoned the Victim"
[OP]
Allow me to propose a toast to the continued growth of Sasano Finance.
Sasano Shuji (36) Sasano Finance 2nd President
Cheers!
Toki Shintaro (65) Toki Credit Union Chief Director
That's good. Truly marvelous.
Hanaoka Terumi (51) Terumi Beauty Salon Chain Delegate
Truly delicious. It's an excellent wine.
Enoshima Akira (48) Enoshima Hospital Director
I'm impressed that he was able to acquire a wine of this caliber.
President Sasano is truly exceptional.
Indeed.
There's no one quite like President Sasano.
Tachikawa Kimiyuki (30) Chef
Oizumi Nanase (23) Housekeeper
Good grief. I'll be working until dawn again.
You did have a busy week, Kimiyuki-san.
It looks like tonight won't be any easier.
Yeah.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step!
Solve 1,000 mysteries and enter a new world!
Everyone's a suspect at this problematic party!
Eliminate the impossible and close in on the truth!
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
Who Poisoned the Victim?
"Who Poisoned the Victim?"
With all this wine available, I'm on cloud wine!
You must be bored.
Huh?
Would you like some more juice?
Thanks.
Ugh, Dad's drinking enough wine for three people all by himself.
He's completely forgotten why he came here.
Unbelievable.
Mori Detective Agency
I'm Kobayakawa, the secretary for Sasano Finance.
Kobayakawa Rokuro (44) Sasano Finance Secretary
The reason I came to hire your services is because this was sent to our office.
Let me see. Allow me to take a look.
Is this a death threat?
I'll kill Sasano Prepare yourself
Yes.
Do you have any idea who might have sent this?
Yes.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
I'm asking you to identify the culprit.
I have three potential suspects in mind,
and I want you to determine who sent this death threat.
Apparently all three of the guests invited to this party have a grudge against the president.
I don't know the specifics,
but I've heard there were a lot of problems between them
since the first president ran the company.
That guy with the mustache must be the second president, then.
Yeah.
The first President Sasano is that man in the photo.
That mustache looks just like the current president's.
You're right.
Anyway, I'm terribly sorry about the car accident that killed the first president.
Thank you.
The first president truly was—whoops.
Hey, Oizumi-kun. Bring us something to clean this up.
Yes, sir.
Don't worry about it.
I've got a handkerchief.
You all right?
Yeah, it's fine.
They say it was his own maintenance error.
Truly unfortunate.
My father's hobby was his car.
I can't believe he ended up falling off a cliff due to a defective brake.
It grieves me most deeply.
I appreciate everything he did for me while he was alive.
I wish he could've seen Enoshima Hospital prosper even more.
It doesn't look like anyone's attempting anything for now.
Yeah.
I'm going to get more juice.
Okay.
Hello? This is Enoshima.
More juice, please.
You're quite the drinker.
What?
You didn't send me a message? What do you mean?
Did something happen?
I don't know.
I see. I understand.
Thanks for handling the rest.
Thanks for waiting, Teshigawara-kun.
Tachikawa-san, it's Oizumi now.
Sorry, sorry.
Unbelievable. Be careful.
That's absolutely marvelous.
Would you like one?
Thank you.
Go ahead.
Delicious!
What's wrong, Sasano-san?
Sasano-san! Sir!
Hang in there.
Sir...
Excuse me.
It's too late.
He's already dead.
N-No...
Everyone, stay where you are.
This is a murder.
Damn it.
After the first president died in an accident,
I never thought the second would be poisoned today.
If the first had lived longer, the second would've been disowned a long time ago.
Though their relationship was terrible, they conducted their business exactly the same way.
Their methods were greedy and callous.
That's right.
Like father, like son. People resented them.
Tachikawa-san, I'm scared.
I understand how you feel, but it's better if you feign indifference for now.
Until the police arrive,
I, Mori Kogoro, shall manage the situation.
The truth is that the victim, Sasano Shuji, had received a death threat.
What?
I apologize that we're requesting your approval after the fact,
but we fully utilized this structure's security cameras.
What do you mean, Mori-san?
Everyone, take a look at these images we recorded.
What's this?
Mister, you're picking up something that looks like medicine.
That's medicine for my blood pressure.
Here's the next image.
Hey, what is this?
You don't have poison hidden inside that ring of yours, do you?
Hey, don't go falsely accusing me!
I had nothing to do with this!
Next image.
That's...!
It's a syringe.
S-So what? What's wrong with a doctor carrying a syringe?
Besides, when the president collapsed, I was standing on the other side of the room.
Well, I was just adjusting my ring.
There's no way I could've killed the president.
I was just picking up the medicine I dropped.
It has nothing to do with the case.
More importantly, how can you treat our personal information like this?
That's right! I'm going to sue for defamation!
In any case, I'm leaving!
Quiet, please. This isn't a matter of personal information.
A man has been murdered.
I suppose you're right.
I'm sorry.
What is it, Kobayakawa-san?
That's not me.
My name isn't Kobayakawa, nor am I a secretary.
What?
I'm actually the president Sasano Shuji.
Kobayakawa Rokuro (44) Sasano Finance Secretary
Sasano Shuji (36) Sasano Finance 2nd President
A-A fake mustache? But...
I shaved my own mustache off.
At Kobayakawa's suggestion, I lived in disguise and traded places with him for a while.
I'm sorry for the confusion.
In other words, this is what happened.
The two of you planned to swap places and see what would happen.
Yes.
Kobayakawa said that if the death threat were real,
I would be safe this way.
I'd also be able to observe the reactions of the other three from an impartial perspective.
I agreed to the plan because I believed that, but I never thought this would happen.
What do you mean by that, sir?
Observe our reactions from an impartial perspective?
You mean you treated us like suspects from the very start?
That's why you used security cameras to film us?
Was this party a farce to begin with?
How incredibly rude!
So what?
President Sasano received a death threat,
and Kobayakawa-san was murdered while acting as his stand-in.
The police will arrive eventually.
They'll asking you to turn over the possessions you have on you, so keep that in mind.
It's true that there wasn't a single image of anyone poisoning the glass.
But a murder did occur.
How did the culprit poison him?
Excuse me.
I brought coffee.
Thank you, Teshigawara-san.
You're welcome.
I knew it was you, Teshigawara Nanase.
Teshigawara? You mean that Teshigawara?
I've heard that name before.
I know. It's the name of that distinguished man who committed suicide.
Is there something the matter with that girl?
This woman was using a fake name.
Wait a minute!
My name changed because I was adopted by the Oizumi family.
But your name before that was Teshigawara.
Am I wrong?
No, that's correct.
So you are the daughter of that family.
The family that was Sasano Finance's first victim.
I heard the head of the family killed himself
over Sasano Finance's aggressive collection methods.
It's true that my father killed himself several years ago.
Does that mean the glass was poisoned by...?
It must've been this girl.
I don't know anything about that!
I was just handing out glasses!
That's right. She's the one who handed out the glasses.
But from among several glasses,
Kobayakawa-san himself selected the poisoned glass.
Isn't that right, Mori-sensei?
Huh? Uh, yeah.
For the time being, let's review the security camera images again.
I hear magicians can make it look like audience members have selected a card
while making them draw a card of their choosing.
Hold on. Nanase isn't a magician!
I see.
You're her boyfriend, huh?
In other words, you were working together.
I just happened to invite Nanase here today!
This is the first time I've heard about her history with Sasano Finance!
If you two were accomplices, then it makes things simple.
First, you poison the glass.
Then your beloved Teshigawara-chan simply hands it to him.
Hey!
Tachikawa-san, don't.
Now, now. Let's not lose our tempers.
You said at the start that you'd let me handle this.
The police are already on their way, too.
Excuse me.
In any case, let's review the moment the wine was handed off again.
Hey.
I'd like to see what happened after he was handed the wine, too.
I'm always telling you not to butt into my conversations.
But if that lady is the culprit, then I want to see what kind of magic trick she used.
Sasano-san, could I ask you to replay the video?
Yes, very well.
Take a look.
Haven't we seen enough?
Didn't Kobayakawa-san take a different glass from the one he initially reached for?
You're right. It's like he changed his mind.
They're right.
Regardless of any attempt to influence him,
it was the victim himself who selected the glass.
That's right.
What does that mean?
The culprit couldn't have predicted that the victim would select a different glass on a whim.
You're right.
She didn't do it.
Wait a minute.
There were several glasses left on the tray.
What if the chef or that woman had poisoned all of them?
Am I wrong, Detective Mori?
Huh?
I drank it.
This means all of the glasses weren't poisoned.
That would mean the victim chose the poisoned glass himself.
You mean an invisible culprit poisoned the glass just before he drank from it?
Don't be ridiculous.
Hey, mister.
A little while before the murder, I heard a message notification sound.
That would've been this.
Wow, that's a cool phone.
Can I see?
Sure.
Hooray. Wow, so cool.
You think so?
Don't play with it too much.
Okay.
I don't really understand how to use it.
I guess it was a little difficult for you.
Yeah, thanks.
In any case, you two are suspicious!
I'm turning you over to the police!
Dad?
When did I poison the glass?
We couldn't have done it.
You must've plotted something where the security cameras couldn't see you.
Hold on, please.
Once again, I believe you asked me to handle this case.
It's the Sleeping Kogoro.
It's the real thing.
Medically speaking, it's rather mysterious, but he does appear to be speaking.
This is quite the puzzling case, but at the very least, Tachikawa-san and Oizumi-san did not do it.
I was wondering what you were going to say.
Are you saying someone else could've done it?
Indeed, yes.
It was someone else who poisoned the glass.
Naturally, they're here right now.
I swear it wasn't me.
It wasn't me either.
Now, now. Please calm down.
I know that Sasano Finance's practically fraudulent practices put each of you in crisis.
Therefore, all three of you have a motive for murder.
However, as was made clear by the security cameras,
you never had the opportunity to poison the glass.
The same goes for Tachikawa-san and Oizumi-san.
But wouldn't that mean the culprit isn't here?
Not so.
There's just one more person remaining.
Which means...
Could it be?
Surely you're not referring to me.
Enough of this!
An attempt was made on my life!
Why would I be the culprit?
Once you eliminate the impossible,
whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
In other words, this murder is possible if and only if you are the culprit.
But Kobayakawa-san chose which glass to take himself.
That's right.
He deliberately chose the poisoned glass.
It was impossible for the culprit to poison that glass.
Wasn't that the conclusion we reached?
But didn't he collapse because the glass was poisoned?
Are you sure about that?
We're assuming there was poison in the glass the victim drank from just before he collapsed.
But what if it was all an act?
An act?
Precisely.
The culprit's plan began with the death threat.
If you assume that, then you can figure it out.
Suppose that the secretary believed the death threat was real
and that it was the president himself who suggested that they swap places.
The similarities in their appearance make it possible.
They conspired to disguise themselves as each other and swapped places.
Someone who'd never met them directly wouldn't notice.
Kobayakawa-san, while disguised as the president,
would pretend to be poisoned in order to unsettle three people who had motive.
Then Sasano-san, while disguised as Kobayakawa-san,
would intervene and uncover who sent the death threat.
What if the idea were proposed to the victim in this manner?
But Kobayakawa-san's death wasn't an act.
That's right. He died, right before our eyes.
Indeed. It's true that a line had been drawn between acting and reality.
Try to recall what happened after Kobayakawa-san pretended to be poisoned.
Sir, hang in there.
Could it be?
It was the water?
The poison was in the water.
Immediately after I confirmed the victim's death,
Sasano-san dropped the cup directly on top of the glass dropped by the victim.
The poisoned water scattered and mixed with the wine that had fallen earlier.
It was an attempt to make it appear as though the poison had been in the wine
when forensics examined it later.
This case was actually a plot to murder the secretary
disguised as a death threat against the president.
Wait a minute!
What motive do I have?
The conversation between the other three gave me some idea.
If the previous president hadn't died in an accident,
you wouldn't have taken over the company.
And maintaining his car just happened to be his hobby.
You probably worked with Kobayakawa-san the secretary
to make the previous president's accident look like it was caused by a maintenance error.
Which means your accomplice Kobayakawa-san was a thorn in your side.
What evidence is there that I did it?
If you have any, show me!
I thought you might say that.
The greatest weakness of this plan is that one of your guests is a doctor.
It would be fatal if he saw through the act of pretending to be poisoned.
So you sent Enoshima-san a fake urgent message
so he'd move away from the scene.
If you wrote the message beforehand,
From: Enoshima Hospital Subject: Emergency Please contact us immediately.
you could wait for the opportunity to send it in an instant.
But you needed to erase the sent message history that would be left on your phone.
Amidst the confusion, you didn't appear to have the time to do that.
Which means I'd like to take a look at your phone history.
I don't have my phone.
I don't bring my phone with me to parties.
I thought it would ruin the mood if I suddenly received a call.
When I asked to see Enoshima-san's phone earlier,
I memorized your number from his contacts.
Sounds like you do have your phone on you.
Let us see it.
It would seem that the police have arrived.
Mister, lunch is ready.
Tada! What do you think, kid?
Looks pretty good on me, doesn't it?
Uh, yeah...
If you don't hurry up, your food will get cold.
Coming!
I'm gonna go, Mister.
Hey! Hey, kid!
Say something before you go. Hey!
Huh? What? My mustache. My mustache!
That might've actually been a good look for him.
