This Week’s Translation

チェスの大会に参加する白鳥警部を応援するためにボクたちが会場に行ったら、参加者が遺体となって発見されたんだ!

ボクはダイイング・メッセージと、犯人が使ったトリックに気付いて事件は解決したんだけど、そのあと黒田管理官はボクに1枚の写真を見せてくれたんだ。

それで17年前の羽田浩司さんやアマンダ・ヒューズさんが殺害された事件の謎を解いてくれって言うんだ。
そしてチェス大会の会場近くにラムの姿が…!?

「17年前の真相 遠見の角行」このあとすぐ!

When we went to go cheer on Shiratori at a chess tournament, a participant’s corpse was found!

I solved the case with the dying message and figured out how the murderer did the trick but, Commissioner Kuroda showed me a photo afterwards.

He asked me to mystery behind the deaths of Koji Haneda and Amanda Hughes.

And the person lurking in the shadows near the chess tournament’s venue – Rum!

“The 17-Year-Old Truth: The Far-Sighted Bishop” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

So exciting to see what happened back then. At first, I thought he was going to shrink given the steam coming off of him. Considering this was 17 years ago perhaps the APTX 4869 wasn’t perfected just yet.

I get time is a weird thing in Detective Conan. It’s just strange to see them have smartphones in a flashback from 17 years ago. At least give them flip phones to fit the times. Given the iphone came out around 17 years ago, I guess it fits but oh well. Typical “when the heck are we” time happens a lot in Detective Conan.

Learning more about Rum and his abilities were interesting, too. Wonder how he lost that ability in his other eye and I guess were about to find out what happens to his left one. And the fact that these codenames can be passed down makes me wonder how long Karasuma has been alive. Or perhaps, that name has been passed down as well.

Next Episode is…

As for the Conan Hint: Umbrella – 傘

Until next time 👋
