Title: File 706 Kobayashi-sensei's Misunderstanding

02

Ayumi: C'mon, Sensei...
Sign: Police Headquarters

Ayumi: Don't be so nervous!
Kobayashi: But this is my first time here...

Mitsuhiko: You were called here as the witness of a murder, right?
Ai: It's not like you're being questioned about a crime you committed, so relax, okay?
Kobayashi: Th-that's right...

Genta: I come here a lot, so I've eaten everything on the cafeteria's menu!
Kobayashi: Oh...
Conan: Isn't that because you eat too much...?

Text in right margin: As the witness of a murder, Kobayashi-sensei is being questioned by the police...

03

Yumi: Hey, Miwako!
Yumi: The kids came along for the questioning?
Kobayashi: Eh?

Yumi: Huh, what's with your outfit...You even have glasses on...
Yumi: You going for an image change?
Kobayashi: Ah...
Kobayashi: No...

Yumi: Pull it together! Are you half-asleep?
Kobayashi: Kyah!

Yumi: "Kyah"...?
Yumi: Did you just say that?
Kobayashi: Wh-what are you doing!?

Conan: No, Yumi-san. She's...
Guy: Ah, Satou-san!
Guy: Oh, the kids are here!

Guy: Huh? Wasn't their teacher supposed to be with them...?
Conan: Like I said, this is...

Shiratori: Teitan Elementary First Grade Class B Homeroom Teacher.

04

Shiratori: And the primary witness of the murder from the other day, Kobayashi Sumiko-sensei!
Shiratori: Make no mistake...
Kobayashi: I-Inspector Shiratori...

Guy: Ehh!?
Yumi: No way!?
Shiratori: Now, I'd like to hear the whole story in the room over here...
Kobayashi: Ah...
Kobayashi: Yes...

Kobayashi: Umm...Is there someone here who looks like me?
Shiratori: Yes...I don't think she looks that much like you, though...

Shiratori: W-well...
Shiratori: There is some similarity...

Yumi: Then...is that the girl that Shiratori-kun has been so enthralled by?
Guy: I-I'd heard about it, but I didn't think they would be that similar...

Takagi: I was really surprised when I first met her, too...
Yumi: I know, I know!

Takagi: But her personality and manner of speaking...
Takagi: are the exact opposite of Satou-san's...

05

Takagi: Ow ow ow...
Satou: Who exactly is the exact opposite of me?

Takagi: Uh, well...
Yumi: Miwako, you're much more policeman-like and handsome!
Satou: Huh? What do you mean by that!?

Satou: Well, whatever! The 3 suspects from that murder have been brought in, so we need to question them!
Takagi: O-okay!

Guy: Now that their greatest obstacle, Shiratori-san, is out of the way, it feels like they have a straight path to the goal!
Yumi: Yeah...but without Shiratori-kun there to stir things up, I can't tease them.
Yumi: So I feel a bit lonely...

Shiratori: I see...

06

Shiratori: You brought these kids to see the fireworks, got separated from them, and were looking for them...
Shiratori: You heard two people arguing and went into the alley to check on it...

Shiratori: There you witnessed the criminal running away!
Shiratori: And...when you saw the body, you screamed, and, hearing that scream, Conan-kun came running to the scene?
Kobayashi: Y-yes...

Shiratori: I'll check just to be sure.
Shiratori: Was the body you saw...

Shiratori: the person in this picture...
Shiratori: Sumida Akira?

Kobayashi: Y-yes, I think it was.
Kobayashi: There was a lot of blood...
Shiratori: The death appears to have been caused by a strike from a blade...
Shiratori: We haven't found the weapon yet, though...

Shiratori: And? Do you remember what the argument between the criminal and Sumida-san was?
Kobayashi: Y-yes...I heard some of it, but with the sound of the fireworks, I couldn't hear all of it...

07

Kobayashi: But I clearly remember what the woman who was the criminal yelled!!
Kobayashi: She yelled, "Just hand it over!! I'll kill you"!!

Kobayashi: So...I thought it was the woman purse snatcher that had been appearing in the area...
Shiratori: No...That criminal was caught that evening...

Shiratori: But why do you say the criminal was a woman?
Kobayashi: From the running criminal's silhouette!

Kobayashi: She had fairly large breasts...
Kobayashi: And I think her long hair was tied up in the back and covered with a hat!

Shiratori: But you never saw the criminal's face?
Kobayashi: N-no! It was dark...
Conan: But the criminal might remember your face, right!?

Shiratori: Eh?
Shiratori: How?
Conan: I wasn't the only one who came running when she screamed!

Conan: Right, sensei!?
Kobayashi: Y-yes...

08

Kobayashi: It looked like...the criminal was watching me from a distance...
Kobayashi: But she disappeared once Conan-kun arrived...

Shiratori: This could be dangerous...
Shiratori: The criminal might attack you to keep you from talking...
Kobayashi: Ehh!?
Ayumi: It'll be okay!

Genta: The Detective Squad will stay at your place...
Mitsuhiko: We won't let anyone touch you!
Ayumi: Don't worry!
Kobayashi: Y-you all...

Shiratori: No, that won't be necessary...
Genta & Mitsuhiko: Eh?

Shiratori: I, Shiratori Ninzaburou, will protect you...
Shiratori: Even if it costs me my life...

Kobayashi: Y...
Kobayashi: Yes...

09

Ai: I know this is a bad time to ask...
Ai: But do you not need to ask us any questions? We did come running to the scene shortly after Edogawa-kun.

Shiratori: Um, well...Did any of you happen to see someone suspicious fleeing the scene?
Genta: No, we didn't...
Mitsuhiko: You don't sound like you have any serious questions for us...

Shiratori: Ah, well...Did Agasa-san see anything? He was with you, right?
Ayumi: He was helping a friend move, so he didn't come!
Kobayashi: Move?

Kobayashi: C-come to think of it, before those two were arguing...
Kobayashi: I saw what looked like a moving truck fleeing from the alley!

Shiratori: I-is that true?
Kobayashi: Yes...I couldn't tell what kind of truck it was because of the wall...
Kobayashi: but there was a big "09" on the side!

Genta: Why would movers have a truck with numbers on it!?
Conan: Moving trucks and transport trucks usually have the company's phone number on them!

Shiratori: If that truck was stopped there for a bit, they might have seen those two...
Shiratori: We'll check that out right away...

Ai: Then can we leave?
Shiratori: You all can, but I'd like for Kobayashi-sensei to stick around...
Kobayashi: Eh?

10

Shiratori: The three suspects who had a grudge against the victim and didn't have an alibi for that day are here...
Shiratori: If you remember the criminal's voice, could you check that for us?
Kobayashi: Y-yes...

Kobayashi: Ah, but before that...
Kobayashi: Um...

Ayumi: If you need to use the bathroom, I'll go with you.
Ayumi: I know where it is!
Kobayashi: O-okay...
Ai: Then I'll go, too...

Conan: Well?
Conan: What did the woman who was killed do...?

Shiratori: She ran a pawn shop...
Mitsuhiko: W-wait a second!!
Genta: That's a woman?
Conan: Yeah...

Conan: You can tell from where the buttons are that that's a woman's shirt...
Conan: And Akira can be a guy's or girl's name.

Shiratori: Well, it seems she would get mistaken for a man a lot, which made her mad...
Shiratori: But there were a lot of people mad at her for the way she ran her store...

11

Kikuna: Come on...
Kikuna: I already told you!!

Kikuna: When that woman was killed, I was at home watching TV!
Kikuna: There was a soccer game on that there's no way I'd miss!

Kikuna: But if it wasn't for that...
Kikuna: I would've liked to have gone and killed her myself!!
Box: Kagitani Kikuna (25) Suspect

Megure: You hated her that much?
Kikuna: Yes...I went in tears to pawn my mother's ring when I needed money...
Kikuna: I continued to do poorly financially, so I asked her to hold on to it for a bit longer...

Kikuna: "Oh...I sold that cheap ring right away...
Kikuna: This one looks similar, but it's a different one...It costs about 20 times as much."
Kikuna: Was how she responded while wearing my mother's ring!!

Kikuna: Well!? Don't you want to kill her now!?
Megure: I...
Megure: I guess...

12

Ryouko: Umm, Inspector...

Ryouko: You don't really think I killed her, do you?
Megure: Uh, no...
Megure: But... you said that, on the day she was killed, you took the day off of work and slept at home by yourself...

Ryouko: I couldn't help that...
Ryouko: My cold had gotten worse...
Box: Takimoto Ryouko (31) Suspect

Satou: And? What was your relationship with the victim?
Takagi: We heard you had a grudge against her, but...
Ryouko: I didn't really have a grudge...

Ryouko: But the antique plate I bought at that pawn shop...
Ryouko: had a funny smell, so I brought it to an expert.

Ryouko: He said it was just a well-made replica worth about 300 yen...
Ryouko: And the smell was from cat food. It was the plate she had used to feed her cat...
Ryouko: But I don't hold a grudge at all!!

Ryouko: Oh ho ho ho...
Megure: Ha ha ha...

13

Ryuusuke: Yeah...I borrowed money from her...

Ryuusuke: It was about 5 million yen...
Ryuusuke: When I finally got the money to repay her, I heard she was dead so I couldn't...

Ryuusuke: The proof of that is, when she was killed...
Ryuusuke: I was at home drunk off my ass from drinking a bottle of expensive champagne!
Box: Kodama Ryuusuke (27) Suspect

Megure: But we heard that the day before the suspect was killed, she had come storming to your apartment asking for her money...
Ryuusuke: She was just pretending!
Ryuusuke: She was just using that as an excuse to come see me!

Ryuusuke: I used to be a hero at Koshien!
Ryuusuke: But before I got drafted, I ruined my left shoulder and didn't get to go to the pros, so no one remembers me...

Ryuusuke: What I mean is, that woman had fallen in love with me!
Ryuusuke: Okay?
SFX: *press*

14

Ryuusuke: What I mean is, that woman had fallen in love with me!
Ryuusuke: Okay?

Satou: Just to be sure, we recorded the three suspects' voices...
Takagi: Now we just have to check with Kobayashi-sensei about which one was the criminal. This is perfect!

Takagi: Although, since the criminal was a woman, that man doesn't seem to have been involved...
Satou: Hey...who is this Kobayashi-sensei person?
Satou: I heard from Yumi that Shiratori-kun is quite enthusiastic about her, but...

Takagi: She's Conan-kun's elementary school teacher...
Takagi: Apparently, they met by accident a while ago...
Satou: Oh...

Satou: I was sure that Shiratori-kun liked someone here in the police headquarters but I guess I was mistaken...
Takagi: You! That was you!

Satou: Anyway, do you think I could meet her?
Takagi: I think it would be better if you didn't...

Satou: Why?
Takagi: Oh, a lot of reasons...

15

Satou: That doesn't really answer my question, does it?

Kobayashi: Wow! There really is...
Kobayashi: someone who looks just like me...!!

Kobayashi: I think her name was...
Kobayashi: Satou Miwako-san...

Kobayashi: That must be nice...
Kobayashi: I wanted to be a police officer, too...

Guy: Geez. Takagi's flirting with her again...
Guy2: Our Miwako-san is...

Guy3: Now that Shiratori's out of the running, they're getting carried away!
Kobayashi: Eh?
Guy: Yeah...That guy...

16

Guy: And he was the leader of the Satou Miwako Absolute Protection Line!

Guy: But Shiratori really has done pretty good for himself....
Guy3: Yeah. I didn't think she'd look that much like Satou...

Guy2: Is the other one around here anywhere?
Guy3: That teacher is already taken!

Ayumi: Kobayashi-sensei!
Ayumi: Sorry for making you wait!

Ai: Eh?

Ayumi: What is it, sensei?
Ayumi: Sensei?

Text in right margin: Kobayashi-sensei is heartbroken over her misunderstanding of the jealousy she overheard. What will become of her love!?
