Search a mark of hip! Is hip a clue?
Mitsuhiko: Now, give us an answer, Genta-kun! Where on the earth did you put the mark on your hip!?
Mitsuhiko: The phantom killer¡¦s mark, which is on you hip!
Takagi: But, is this really the phantom killer¡¦s mark?
Ayumi: Yup. Its mark is identical with a thing that the criminal dropped, when he ran against Ayumi!!
Ayumi: Ayumi coincidentally pressed against the thing with my hand. After the criminal was in a hurry to get it back from me, there was the same mark on the plam of my hand.
Ai: So, Kojima-kun happened to contact the criminal or the criminal¡¦s stuff in somewhere. The criminal was in a crowd of the crime scene. And he was hurried to escape, when Kojima-kun chased the criminal, who was wearing a raincoat.
3rd page Genta: It is easier to say. But I happened to stumble over someone¡¦s bag in a crowd and toppled to collide against a bicycle. But none of them were the criminal.
-Genta Looking momentarily at Sato Genta: B, beside... Sato: What?
-Genta looking Sato With fake Smile - Genta: No, nothing. Sato: ? Ai: It is possible that the bag and the bicycle had an identical mark which the criminal had on his stuff. Mitsuhiko: It could be a kind of brand name item.
Takagi!: Anyway, let go back to the crime scene and listen what the crowd¡¦s got to say. Maybe an owner of the bag and the bicycle rider might be still there...
Takagi: Sa, Sato-san. Sato: Ah, yes. Ayumi: Hey, Conan-kun. Let go! Conan: Yeah!
Conan: (wondering). It¡¦s so strange. The mark on Genta¡¦s hip....
Sato: (also wondering.) I probably have seen it...
pg 4 Genta: Oh, I see him.
Genta: I stumbled over this old man¡¦s bag.
Mitsuhiko: But there is not any sort of marks on it. Ayumi: And this bag is not dirty. Therefore, this is not the one. The mark which was on Genta-kun¡¦s hip seems to be the stain of mud.
Ai: Speaking of the dirting with mud, the bicycle is more suspectful than the bag. Genta: The bicycle, where is the... well...
Genta: That, that one! That old women¡¦s bicycle.
Takagi: Well, her bicycle is dirted with mud. The mark does not seem to be attached.
Mitsunari: (to Genta) Where did you really put the mark on? That, sort of ¡§5¡¨ or ¡§S¡¨. Conan: It is neither ¡§5¡¨ or ¡§S¡¨...
pg 5 Conan: The mark on Ayumi-chan¡¦s palm of the hand and on Genta¡¦s hip is the reversed mirror image of the actual image. Thus, the actual image is must be the reverse image of ¡§5¡¨ or ¡§S¡¨!
Genta: Oh, I see. Conan: (Looking at the mark on Genta¡¦s hip) Besides, look at the size of the mark. I think that I might find out if such a big mark were on Ayumi-Chan¡¦s palm of the hand...
Ayumi: No... Ayumi¡¦s mark was far smaller than the Genta¡¦s. (Pointing at her left hand) A size of a ¡§1 yen¡¨ coin on my left hand. Conan: Which means, two marks were same kinds of thing which attached on two different items.
Conan: If the mark was very small... It could be an accessary of same brand name item... Sato: (in her mind) A mirror imgae... An accessary...
Conan: Huh... That statin on (Ayumi-chan¡¦s) cuff...
Conan&Sato: (thinking) Could, it be?
-Conan& Sato ran toward Sato¡¦s car. Takagi: What?
pg 6 Sato: This! Anfini¡¦s mark.
Takagi: What! Sato: I did not wash my car after I drove on muddy road. That¡¦s why there is such a stain...
Mitsunari: Speaking of that car, Genta-kun, you sat on the bonnet (the hood, ¡§British English.¡¨ didn¡¦t you? Genta: Y, yeah.
Ayumi: Why didn¡¦t you tell us about it? Genta: Honestly, I remembered about it from the beginning, but I kept silence... I never expected.
Genta: I never thought that Sato detective was a phantom killer! Sato: No, I am not!
Sato: Maybe, the criminal has an Anfini¡¦s car. Ayumi: Then the mark on Ayumi¡¦s palm is...
Pg 7 Conan: That is an Anfini¡¦s car key! The Anfini¡¦s master key has a plastic cover, which Anfini¡¦s mark was inscribed on!
Sato: (showing her car key) See this! Ayumi: He is right! Conan: In evidence of the key, look at Ayumi chan¡¦s cuff!
Conan: (while holding Ayumi¡¦s hand) There seemed to be sort of a stain of notched stick, which attached on your cuff. Maybe the tip of the car key contained mud. And when you pressed against the key with you hand, the mad was attached on your cuff...
Conan: (in his mind) No it is not mud... It discolored and being blackish, this is... Sato: (in her mind) Blood!?
Takagi: (to Sato) M, maybe, a reason why the criminal came back to the crime scene was... Sato: (replying to Takagi) Yes, he probably wanted to make sure whether the Anfini¡¦s mark was seen by Ayumi-Chan or not...
Sato: (Looking at her Anfini) Then he thought that it is the matter of time, the mark will be identified by us... Mitsunari: Then you must hurry up to catch him, or he is going to run away!
Sato: Takagi-kun! Contact Captain (inspector, BriEng) Megure, and ask him to draw a cordon!! And check every owners of Anfini's car, which attempt to exit the outskirts of this area!! Takagi: Y, yes!!
Sato: Also, check through the nearby residents who own Anfini¡¦s car. If the criminal did return to the crime scene regardless of the risk, just because to make sure whether the type of his car was identified by us or not. It is high possibility that the criminal has a car garage or parking. (it is obligated that a driver must have own parking space to own the car.)
Ayumi: But, what if there are too many Anfini¡¦s cars... Ai: It might be tough to find? Conan: No, it could not be too many.
Conan: The car key with plastic cover of Anfini's mark and the car body with the Anfini¡¦s logo mark have been discontinued since the 8th year of Heisei. So the car we are looking for is rather old. Moreover, it was raining at the moment of the crime. So we can squeeze the number of the car down by following reasons whether the car is wet, the suspect did not have alibi, and the suspect lost his or her own master key.
Mitsuhiko: Why does not the criminal have the master key? Genta: He dropped it while holding it! Conan: The blood stain was attached to Ayumi-chan¡¦s cuff...
Conan: It is evident that the criminal held his own car key with the bloodstained hand, the victim¡¦s blood! He held the car key in order to quickly ride his car and drive far away from this area. It is no way that the criminal would show his car key, which surely reacts to the luminor.
pg 9 -The Beika Police Station- Sato: What? Only three cars?
Sato: (on the telephone) Is it true? Captain! Megure: (from the phone) Yes... One car was caught on the check point. And the two other cars which were wandering around the area.
Megure: (speaking on the phone) Those three owners, who were neighboring residents, said that they lost their own master key... Anyway, I will send those three drivers with their cars to the station... If you did see the phantom killer for an instant moment, I ask you to confirm.
Sato: Those three suspects are driving down to this station. -gacha- (as Sato hanging up the receiver.) Genta: Oh! Mitsuhiko: It is crystal clear for us to know which one is the criminal.
Mitsuhiko: Ayumi-chan heard the criminal¡¦s scream. Genta: When he sees you, he will be frightened and his face might turn pale!! Ayumi: Yes, that is right!!
Ayumi: Ayumi will do my best!! Ai: I disagree...
pg 10: Ayumi: (looking at Ai) What? Ai: Suppose there is the criminal among three suspects. It would be great that the criminal is caught when you face him directly... But suppose there is no evidence to accuse him. What do you think you are going to do if he will be released due to the acquittal.
Ai: The criminal will avenge you because you drove him into a corner. He had grudge against you and would seek your life...
Mitsuhiko: You have a wild thought, Haibara-san... Ai: That is why I stopped her not to bet against reckless odds without firm evidences!
Ayumi: But I was the only one who saw the criminal at close distance. If we let those three people wear a raincoat, might we know who is the criminal? Ai: We can confirm it by using pictures.
Ai: Voice can be identified by recording to a tape... It is not necessary for you to present yourself to the criminal by facing him directly.
Conan: What Haibara said is certainly right. It is too risky... On the other hand, it is exasperating for us to let them go home by only inquiring them. It cannot be ####ured that there will not be another victim...
Conan: In this case, we take an interval, and quietly peek them, shall we?
pg: 11 Sato: (guiding) All right, this way, this way!
Sato: Stop! -Sound of Break-
Sato: Ok, get off the car and say the name and occupation, one by one. Also, would you tell us what you did at the moment of the crime, today at 4 PM?
Sato: First, you on the left side! Suspect 1: --Dame, I came here by voluntary. But I am treated like the criminal. Takagi: Calm down...
-Enomoto, Tsuyoshi (21) Part-time worker at Sushi restrung-
Enomoto: I am college student, who worked part-tim at Sushi restrung on 3 cyome.
Sato: Did you buy this car by just doing part-time? Enomoto: No... I sponged on my parent. (I begged my parent to buy) Is there any problem with that? Sato: I see...
pg 12 Ai: Through the smoke glass, people from the outside cannot see us. Mitsuhiko: So? Do you recognize that man¡¦s voice? Ayumi: Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
Enomoto: Because I am off duty today and my chief got angry at me last night, I felt so frustrated. So I went to a pass to refresh myself, then I was caught at your check point! Sato: Refreshing at the pass?
Enomoto: N, no! The scence around the pass is a quite view. That is what I mean refreshing. Sato: (in her mind, while looking at Enomoto¡¦s car) That is why there are full of mud and scratch on the hood.
Sato: Ok, next! Person in the middle! Suspect 2: Ah, yes...
Suspect 2: (while opening the car door) Ah... -sound that the opening door weakly bumping Enomoto¡¦s car-
Enomoto: Hey!! No Goddamn bumping, hey!!
Enomoto: Damn, This is the worst parking. Suspect 2: I, I am sorry! I am not good at driving...
pg. 13 Suspect 2: I am good at reparing cars. Sato: So your occupation must be...
-Hukuchi Naokazu (36) Auto Repair Worker- Hukuchi: Ah, yes... I am Naokazu Hukuchi who work at the auto repair factory.
Hukuchi: The factory is closed today. But I tried to repair my own car, which was in bad condition. Takagi: But I got a report that you are wondering in the town.
Hukuchi: I, I only test-drove my car in the shopping district because I wanted to make sure! Is it a problem!? Takagi: Ah, I mean...
Sato: Ok, the last. You on the right side... Suspect 3: Yes...
-Degawa Toshiaki (43) A Locksmith Manager- Toshiaki: My name is Degawa Toshiaki! I am managing a locksmith at 1 chome.
Toshiaki: It is a great mistake of my life for me, the locksmith manager, to loose the master key of my own car. Takagi: But comparing with the other two cars, your car is shiny clean.
pg14 Toshiaki: Oh, yes... Every time I drive outside, I washed my car. This car is only things left in my life. Sato: So, you went to somewhere in this evening?
Toshiaki: A person called me asking me to open a door because she lost a house key. I was driving only circle without reaching to her house because her explanation was terrible...
Toshiaki: But I did not mee her. Her boyfriend, who had a spare key, came down to her house, and she called me that I don¡¦t have to come over. Sato: I see. Takagi: ....
Takagi: Did you notice something? Ayumi: I absolutely have no clue. They have not shoulted yet. Genta: Those three have similar height and figure.
Enomoto: Hey you! What the hell are you sneaking over there? Takagai: Ah, nothing..
Conan: hey detective Takagi... I want to ask you a favor
pg 15 -Conan whispering Takagi¡¦s ear- Genta & Mitsuhiko: What is it? Ayumi: ....
Ayumi: As I expect I am going to come to meet them. Ai: What?
Ayumi: If I see them at close distance, I may find out which one is the criminal! Ai: No way! I told you before, didn¡¦t I? It is possible to cause further problem if your attempt might fail to catch the criminal.
Ayumi: B, but... Ai: Not only you... But also everyone who supported you will be avenged by the criminal.
Ayumi: .... Ai: I understand the feeling that you want to punish the bad person, but you must be patient for now. Tolerate and reatreat oneself is one type of courage.
Ai: (in her mind) Yes... this is a correct answer. For me, for everybody...
pg 16 Takagi: Huh? You wanted me to call a crime labortory worker and bring a philips driver? Conan: Yeah!
Conan: Everything outght to be straightened up...
Conan: That person who tring to conceal the crime by playing peculiar petty trick...
Conan: Is the phantom killer of the biggest liar...
