Welcome! MeitanteiBunshou here with some thoughts on today’s Detective Conan.

This Week’s Translation

古民家宿の改築で古い金庫が見つかったら女将さん宛てに「お宝が狙われる」ってメールが来て、小五郎のおじさんに警護の依頼が来たみたい。 小五郎のおじさんとボク、蘭姉ちゃんや専門家の人たちが見守ってる中で、金庫を買い取った実業家の人が開けると、中には古い硬貨や金貨が! そしたら一人で鑑定するからって実業家の人にみんな部屋から追い出されちゃったんだ。 でも夜、その人の部屋から火の手が!!

　When a hostess found a safe during reconstruction of the inn, she got an email about someone being after what is in it, so she hired Kogoro as a bodyguard. While Kogoro, Ran, antique specialists and I were keeping watch over the safe, the entrepreneur opened it to find old gold coins! Afterwards, he drove everyone out of the room to test the authenticity of the coins. But that night, the room he was in went up in flames!

Anime Original “The Counting Song Heard in the Dark” coming up!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

財前　一平（65）実業家
Zaizen Ippei (65) Entrepeneur

容疑者　ー　Suspects

川端　誠司 （53）骨董鑑定者
Seiji Kawabata (53) Antique Appraiser

門倉　伸弥　（46）古物商
Shinya Kadokura (46) Antique Dealer

富永　京子　（32）古民家宿の女将
Kyoko Tominaga (32) Traditional House Inn Hostess

This episode felt like a classic Detective Conan episode. They even had Kogoro conking out after food and drink and waking up when things start popping off. The trick also felt as if it came from Aoyama himself with how science based it was. Kind of missed this pattern in the anime lately.

Kadokura’s habit of checking his watch is what did him in when it came to stealing the coin. I’ll give him props for the calculated trick but the way he killed the guy seemed rather rash. Would have liked to see what went down. Surely, they were arguing about the coins or something of that nature.

The motive: another swindler situation. A bit understandable to have resentment against the guy who took everything from you, but I still would like to see someone stick to getting revenge another way.

Next Episode is…❓

After the punny end credit scene, it looks we are going back to remasters in Japan. It’s the “Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene” Case so hopefully this is a refresher and a hint that we are getting more canon anime cases coming soon in June.

Until next time 👋
