Title: File 733 Washing
Text: Showdown!!!

02

Nakamori: Investigators guarding the museum entrance!
SFX: Rain

Nakamori: How are things there?
Investigator: No guests have panicked upon noticing the gates!!

Nakamori: Has there been any problem at the metal-detector gates!?
Investigator: No! No one has had the pistol on them...

Nakamori: How are things in the Ryoma Exhibit!?
SFX: Chatter
Investigator: So far no one that that seems like they could be Kid has shown up...

Investigator: And is Kid even going to show up!?
Nakamori: Don't be stupid!! Kid has never once not come once he announced he would!!

Right margin: Only a few minutes until the time Kid announced!

03

Suzuki: But Inspector Nakamori... As I've said before, he's not coming to steal something like normal; he's here to return those 3 items that were stolen 20 years ago.

Suzuki: And not only does that include Ryoma's final letter and the sake cup with his blood on it...
Suzuki: but it includes the gun he had in his pocket when he was assassinated!

Suzuki: No matter how elusive and phantom-like he is, he can't get through the metal-detector gates with a pistol.
Nakamori: I-I agree, but...
Nakamori: This is Kid.

Hanamura: Even if he does make it through the gate, there's a possibility...
Hanamura: that the pistol is a fake he made, right?

Tarumi: Of course, when the 3 items are returned you can appraise them.
Hanamura: Yes...
Hanamura: I truly hope he returns the real ones.

Tarumi: But more importantly, will the gunbelt be okay? They say he's going to take it in exchange for returning the other items.
Hanamura: Just to make sure, we did a last minute check of the display case before the exhibit opened, but...
Nakamori: It'll be fine. We're keeping an eye on it.

Nakamori: And if you're that worried, why don't you go see for yourself?
Tarumi: I will. The possibility of having the 3 returned items be fakes and having the gunbelt stolen on top of that...
Tarumi: would be simply unbearable.

04

Sonoko: Kid-sama should be here in...
Sonoko: another 4 minutes.
On cell: 19:56:04

Sonoko: How about we head on in?
SFX: Chatter
SFX: Close
Ran: But there are so many people in there we might not be able to see Kid even if he appeared!

Ran: Oh! Inspector Nakamori!
Announcement: We have reached the admission limit!
Announcement: We can no longer let anyone in. Please be understanding...

SFX: Swarming in
Sonoko: And Uncle Jirokichi..

SFX: Chatter
Sonoko: C'mon, let's go in, too!
Ran: Okay!

Conan: I don't think you should!

05

Conan: Gasp
Ran: C-Conan-kun!?

Sonoko: Why shouldn't we go in?
Conan: You don't want to get wet, do you?

Conan: It seems Kid is actually...
Conan: planning on washing this place!

Nakamori: Damn it! There are too many people here!!
Nakamori: We can't guard anything like this!!
SFX: Woosh

Woman: Ah!
SFX: Twirl twirl

SFX: Twirl...

SFX: Land
Nakamori: K-

06

Nakamori: Kaitou Kid!!

Ran: He's standing on the gunbelt case...
Sonoko: Kid-sama's so wonderful!

Nakamori: He came through the metal-detector gates, so he's unarmed!!
Nakamori: Capture him!!
Men: Yes, sir!!

Suzuki: What's this washing nonsense! You're the one who's going to be caught and then you'll be washed to the bone!!
Kid: Yes. In order to wash something, you need water.

Kid: So watch as I...
Kid: make it rain in this room.

Nakamori: R-rain!?
SFX: Light

07

SFX: Roar

SFX: Beep beep
SFX: Roar

SFX: Pshhhh

SFX: Pouring
Man: Wah!
Woman: Kyah!

Nakamori: That bastard...
Nakamori: He activated the fire sprinklers with that flame!!

Kid: And with that, I'll be going...
Nakamori: Hey, wait!
Nakamori: Are you not returning those 3 items?

08

Kid: This shower will clear all of that up.
Kid: Just like rain washing away mud.

Nakamori: I can't see him through the mist...
SFX: Pouring
Suzuki: Damn him! He messed with the sprinkler's water pressure!!

Nakamori: D...
SFX: Pouring
Suzuki: Damn it...

SFX: Stop

Nakamori: He's...
Nakamori: He's gone!?

Nakamori: Damn you, Kid.
Nakamori: You're planning on mixing in with the crowd to get away, aren't you!?
SFX: Chatter

Nakamori: Hey! Did anyone leave through the gate area just now!?
Investigator: T-two or three people did...

09

Nakamori: Go after and capture the one who's soaking wet!! That's Kid!!
Nakamori: If he changed into his disguise in that shower, he should be wet!!

Investigator: Oh, but...it's pouring rain outside, so most of the guests' clothes are wet...
Nakamori: Then use his footprints!! Follow the wet footprints leaving the gate!!

Investigator: B-but...
Investigator: as you would expect, the floor is covered in wet footprints.

Nakamori: Wh-what!?
Suzuki: I see...
Suzuki: That's why he waited for a rainy day...

Nakamori: Then what about the 3 items he said he'd return?
Hanamura: They're on top of the gunbelt case...

Hanamura: Oh, no...
Hanamura: I got my blood on the sake cup...

Hanamura: But, well, the 3 items seem to be fakes.
Hanamura: So it isn't a problem.

Tarumi: Speaking of problems, we need to check on the gunbelt.
SFX: Lift

10

Tarumi: Th-the security system inside is broken!?
Tarumi: Then is the gunbelt in here a fake Kid switched the real one out for!?

Tarumi: Damn it!!
Hanamura: He got us good...
SFX: Slam

Nakamori: Hm? There's something dripping from the case's description plate.
Tarumi & Hanamura: Eh?
Nakamori: Is it paint?

Nakamori: I see! He put a plate over the original one that had the exact same text on it in watercolor paint.
Nakamori: That way, when it got wet, the text below the paint would appear.
SFX: Take off

Sonoko: I see! This was because my sleeve was wet from the rain.
Ran: You got the text from the gunbelt's description plate on it in reverse.

Suzuki: Well? What does it say!?
Nakamori: Let's see...
Nakamori: The gunbelt was a complete fake from the beginning. This is because...

Conan: they made a large number of the items they assumed would be stolen.

11

Conan: Right?
Kid: Eh?

Conan: What was important was having the general public find out they had been stolen via the news.
Conan: And they would have had a bunch of fakes made beforehand so that a 3rd party could sell them to rich Ryoma fans...
Conan: saying they were the items stolen the other day!
Headline: Items that belonged to Ryoma were stolen!!

Conan: That way, when the people who bought them realized they were fakes, they couldn't do anything about it.
Conan: Since they had bought what they believed to be stolen items, they couldn't sue them or charge them with anything...

Conan: That's also why, after stealing those items, Phantom Lady's crimes weren't made public.
Conan: Because she was only targeting the people who bought those 3 items.

Conan: And after she had gathered a bunch of the fakes, she gave them to you. Lady asked you to expose their crimes, didn't she?
Conan: This crime could only be pulled off with a sponsor who opens an exhibit knowing the items were fakes teaming up with an appraiser who certifies the fakes as real.
Conan: Isn't that right?

12

Conan: Mr. Phantom Thief pretending to be like Ryoma!

Nakamori: Hey! Is what this card says true?
Tarumi: N-no! It's a bunch of nonsense!!
Hanamura: First of all, where are all these fakes it mentions!?

Hanamura: All I can see is this cheap plastic pistol...
Hanamura: and the fake sake cup and letter.
Men: I-Inspector!!

Men: At some point, someone put this gunbelt and pistol on me!!
Men: S-same here...
Men: The belts have cards on them saying "Borrowed from Mr. Tarumi's storehouse".

Nakamori: Damn you, Kid...
Nakamori: You used the large crowd to get these on us!!

Suzuki: I see. You broke the security system ahead of time to make it look like it was stolen.
Suzuki: And this time you were planning on making money buy selling the gunbelts.
Tarumi: N-no...

13

Investigator: Inspector! There's writing on the description plates to the other display items when you remove some paint!!
Nakamori: What!?
Investigator: It explains in detail how the item is a fake!

Investigator: And at the end is says in English-
Nakamori: In English!?

Investigator: Pull...
On plate: And, for those reasons, one can determine that this hanging scroll did not exist in the time of the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. Kaitou Kid

Nakamori: Pull...
Nakamori: It's telling us to pull on this hanging scroll!!

SFX: Pull

SFX: Roll roll

Nakamori: Wh...
Nakamori: What's this!?

14

Nakamori: Ryoma's letter!?
Nakamori: And there's a whole bunch of the same one!?

Suzuki: It looks exactly the same as the one left on the gunbelt case.
Tarumi: I-it's a trap!

Tarumi: It's a trap left by Kid!
Hanamura: Indeed...
Hanamura: There's no proof that we made or sold those.
SFX: Crash

Tarumi: Eh?
Ran: What are you doing, Sonoko?
Ran: Kid's plate told me to!

Sonoko: It said to break it.
Plate: The colorant used is new and the method used to make it is a modern one. And, for those reasons, one can determine that this vase did not exist in the time of the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. Kaitou Kid

Nakamori: Hey, there's a whole bunch of sake cups inside.
Suzuki: And each and every one has blood on it.

15

Suzuki: If we have the DNA of this blood checked, we'll know for sure who fabricated these sake cups.
Suzuki: Or do you want to trick us like you did before by touching all of them with your injured finger...
Suzuki: getting your blood on all of them.

Suzuki: But, well, we'll still know when we check your storehouse...
Suzuki: and find mountains of unsold fakes.

Kid: Well done figuring out I'm Kid.
Kid: I'm just the kind of man you'd see anywhere, right?

Conan: It was simple! Even fake plastic pistols can be quite bulky when you have to carry in a whole bunch of them.
Conan: All the more when you have a bunch of letters and sake cups, too!

Conan: So I looked for someone in the crowd who was amazingly skinny below the waist for their body type!
Conan: I knew that would be you pretending to be fat in order to sneak in all that.

Conan: Also, you were in disguise, so you wouldn't be sweating!

Conan: And I put this button-type homing sticker...
Conan: on that person's skinny ankle.

16

Conan: Then I found out where you were with my tracking glasses and started talking to you!
Kid: I see...

Kid: Well? Are you going to point me out to the police?
Conan: No, this time I'll let you go in deference to Ryoma.

Kid: Hm? You're a Ryoma fan?
Conan: No, my mother is. She was born in Tosa and she's played the part of the daughter of Ryoma's older sister.

Conan: But, well, she was famous for being too cute for the part of the daughter.
Conan: Apparently, that's when her popularity really started to spread.

Kid: Well then...
Kid: I guess neither of us are a match for our mothers.

Kid: See you.
Conan: Neither of us?
Conan: Wait. Don't tell me Phantom Lady is...

Right margin: Wait for another time for the story of Kid and Phantom Lady.
