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

This Week’s Translation

宅配便の置き配泥棒が多発してるっていうマンションに住む人からの依頼で、小五郎おじさん、蘭姉ちゃんとボクも一緒に張り込みすることになったんだ。

でも一瞬のスキを突かれて、荷物を盗られちゃった!
ボク達があわててその後を追って、犯人が逃げ込んだ部屋に入ってみると、そこには倒れた男の姿が…!?

TVオリジナル「置き配泥棒多発中」このあとすぐ!

A person living in an apartment complex hired Kogoro to catch a porch pirate, so Ran and I tagged on the stakeout.

But as soon as we dropped our guard, a package was stolen!
We ran after the culprit in a panic. However, when we looked into their apartment they ducked into, we found a man on the ground!

Anime original “The Porch Pirate Epidemic” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

被害者　ー　Victim

谷中　信宏（45）403号室住人　WEBデザイナー
Taninaka Nobuhiro (45) Toom 403 Resident & Web Designer

容疑者　ー　Suspects

伊藤　住吉（32）402号室住人　飲食店勤務
Ito Sumiyoshi (32) Room 402 Resident & Restaurant Employee

坂口　麻里子（50）301号室住人 代理店勤務
Sakaguchi Mariko (50) Room 301 Resident & Agency Employee

Another good anime original episode. I thought the nurse would be the one who ended up doing it since she called Kogoro in for the job. Plus with her background in the sciences, I would have thought the chlorine gas would be an easy task for her to pull off and somehow get a hold of it.

Figured it was pepper spray or something. Surely there could have been a better way to pull the prank and catch him. Like one of those glitter bombs or something. Kinda like this:

Shame that Mariko lost her late husband’s watch to this guy selling it off. Get the motive but dang what an interesting way to commit murder. I would think she would at least make sure it didn’t have traces after setting up something so intricate. And get rid of the pants. Why are you still wearing something that could link you to the murder?

Next Episode is…

I think we’ve seen something similar a long time ago. It was a case where three people hit some hard headed guy and they had to piece together who actually killed him.

As for the Conan Hint: 相関図 – Relationship Chart

I really like this chart. It’s nice to see the Aoyama’s design for himself on his characters. Find it interesting that the ladies all have a normal smile while the guys have this mischievous grin.

Last but not least Happy Birthday to Conan!

Until next time 👋
