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

This Week’s Translation

少年探偵団の3人が昨日、逃げちゃった猫探しを引き受けたんだって。でも猫の足あとが途中で消えちゃって見つからなかったみたいで、今日はボクと灰原も一緒に探す事になったんだ。

そしたら取調べ中の重要参考人のアリバイ確認に来た高木刑事たちと会ったんだけど、高木刑事たちの言う作業着の大きな男の人は昨日、探偵団の3人は見てなかったみたいで…?

TVオリジナル「幻の大男を探せ」このあとすぐ!

Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were looking for a cat yesterday, but the trail went cold when the cat’s paw prints disappeared. So, Haibara and I decided to help out with the investigation.

While looking for the cat, we ran into Takagi and Chiba who were checking a suspect’s alibi. Supposedly the suspect saw a tall man in work clothes yesterday, but Mitsuhiko and the others didn’t see anyone like that. What’s going on here?

Anime original “The Phantom Giant” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

條島　史緒里（34）的井の元交際相手
Jojima Shiori (34) Matoi’s Ex-girlfriend

容疑者　ー　Suspects

的井　高宏 （35）建設会社員
Matoi Takahiro (35) Construction Company Employee

條島　円加 （30）史緒里の妹
Jojima Madoka (30) Shiori’s Little Sister

湯村　翔平　（28）的井の後輩
Yumura Shohei (28) Matoi’s Junior

夏原　茂樹　（49）的井の上司
Natsuhara Shigeki (49) Matoi’s Boss

This was a fun little mystery. The Phantom Giant ending up being Mitsuhiko on Genta’s shoulders, finding the true culprit, the black mail that did Shiori in and even finding the cat at the end. Everything wrapped up nicely. Ironic how the cat is found after they stop looking for the little guy. He was even trolling his owner in one scene.

I get people have different sides to them, but I’m surprised that Madoka didn’t know how greedy her sister was. Unfortunately, all that greed is what did her in. You would think that blackmailing someone is a bad idea given that if you push them too far, they’ll take any chance to get rid of the person causing it.

Yumura could have brushed her deduction off with a “it was just a guess” instead of caving in. Nonetheless, pretty crappy thing to embezzle funds and even crappier to blackmail someone over it.

Unfortunately for Yumura he’s not that bright. Conan yelling about the bag from a distance was a clear way to lure out the culprit. Then he tries to defend himself when they pin him as the true culprit…

while he is breaking into Matoi’s apartment…

with a similar bag to do a switcheroo and take down Matoi’s alibi…

On that note, I’ll leave this photo of how ridiculous his plan was to me.
And I’m with Genta. Question marks… question marks everywhere.

Next Episode is…???

No new episode next week.

Looks like there will be a remastered episode of the The Meguro Sanma Case instead.

Until next time 👋
