Detective Conan 734

File 734
Demon Dog
Caption: Speaking of the owner of this hat...

2
Sidetext: A new case! Visitors arrive as Kogorou and the others are in the office focused on the TV...
TV: Grrrr.....

Dog: Grrrr...

Mouri: H-Hey! Why's that dog glowing!?
TV Man: Aaah!
Ran: It's...

Ran: a demon dog!!
--A real demon dog!!

3
Conan: It's phosphorus!

Ran/Mouri: Eh?
TV Man: Aaah!
Conan: The dog was painted with phosphorus to make it glow and scare people...

Conan: Holmes explains it at the end!
Mouri: Oh great! You spoiled the ending!

Conan: But I thought you knew it because Holmes' "Hound of the Baskervilles" is so famous...
Ran: But...
--we're not Holmes geeks like you and Shinichi...

Mouri: Hmph! Well, there's no point now that we know the demon dog is fake!
--Let's watch something else!
Conan: Eh!?

Heiji: If that's the case why don't we try exterminating a real demon dog?

4
Conan: Eh?
Ran: Ha, Hattori-ku and Kazuha-chan!!

Heiji: At first we rang the bell...
Kazuha: There was no answer so we tried yelling...

Kazuha: We were concerned so we came in...
Heiji: The TV was on too loud...
Mouri: Which is why you shouldn't have come in uninvited...

Ran: So what was that about the demon dog?
Kazuha: Heiji heard about it and came here, but it's just a piece of fiction!
Heiji: That has yet to be determined!

Heiji: Have you heard the story? About 5 years ago a rich, old guy named Inubushi Tsunechika died...
Mouri: Yes...as I recall he was Chairman of the Inubushi Group...

5
Ran: Y-You mean the Chairman was killed by a demon dog!?
Heiji: No, no! He died of natural causes! Cancer, I hear...

Kazuha:　That said, when the Chairman was young and virile he was apparently a terrible womanizer, and shortly after he died there were a lot of visitors!
--They were saying, "I'm a child linked by blood to the Chairman!"

Ran: Illegitimate children?
Kazuha: Yeah! They all had pictures of him with their mothers...
Mouri: I bet they were just saying that cause they were after his fortune!

Heiji:　That's what I thought...Even though I'd like to verify them, the man is dead and, according to the claimants, the mothers as well. So I can't question them about the affairs...
--Ordinarily they'd just be turned away...

Heiji: but the Chairman's wife, Satomi, took them in as her own adopted children!
--All eight of them!
Mouri: E-eight!?

Heiji: And this case has come up now that the wife is sick and bedridden!
Conan: The inheritance...

Heiji: Yes...After the wife dies, the vast fortune she inherited from her husband is to be divided amongst those 8 adoptees...However 2 of them have died mysteriously...

Heiji: One of them fell off a cliff, and in his last moments he said he was pushed off by...

6
Heiji: A monstrous apparition draped in scarlet flames which suddenly expanded and attacked...
--The apparition looked just like a dog!!

Ran: Huh!?

Mouri: Hmph! He was just chased by a burning vinyl puppet...
Heiji: However...they said the dog chased him on his bicycle for more than 1 km. Ordinarily you'd think he'd realize that, wouldn't you?

Conan: And so Heiji-nichan was invited here by the Inubushi family?
Heiji: No, one of the adoptees is an acquaintance of Kazuha's mother...
Kazuha: They were in the same grade in elementary school when they lived in Kansai...

Kazuha: Anyway, that person is apparently saying the 2 who died were killed because of a curse...
Ran: A-A curse?

7
Kazuha:Rumor has it that one of the 8 adoptees is a phony and holds a grudge against the Inubushi family...
--And by using the demon dog's curse he intends eradicate the Inubushi blood from this world...

Ran: E-Eradicate?
Kazuha: Actually, he wanted to consult with my father, the Chief of the Osaka Police Department, but he couldn't leave Osaka...

Kazuha: So he asked us if he could just come listen to his story...
Heiji: And that's why I was given the task!

Mouri: Then in the end you really are going to see the Inubushi Family!
Heiji: No, once this person realized what was heppening he renounced his claim to the fortune and left the Inubushi Family.

Heiji: Currently he's living in Tokyo under his mother's last name. I'm going to question him tomorrow...
--Want to come along?
Ran: Eh!

Heiji: Truth is, this person...
--has a really funny name...

Sign: Kudou Shinichi [TN: Same pronunciation but different kanji as the main character]
Conan: Ku...
--Kudou Shinichi?

Conan: Are you kidding?
Heiji: See, isn't it funny?

Intercom: May I ask who's calling?
Heiji: I'm the detective Shinichi-san invited...

Conan: Isn't that a woman's voice?
--Doesn't he live alone?
Heiji: He has a bad back so a nurse stops by 2 or 3 times a week...

Heiji: He lived with his mother in this house before being adopted into the Inubushi Family...
--His own company was going bankrupt so he sold it...But with the aid of Mrs. Inubushi the company recovered and he bought it back...

Heiji: Well, in his current condition due to his back it seems he won't even be able to run the company...

9
Nurse: Um...
--Shinichi-san is currently sleeping...
Box: Abukawa Funae (39) Home Helper

Abukawa: Shinichi-san?
--You have visitors!

Heiji: He's sound asleep...
Conan: But isn't the room too warm?
Abukawa: Yes...I understand he's getting over a cold...

Abukawa: And he says he was up late last night thinking about things and was unable to fall asleep...
Box: Kudou Shinichi (43) Inubushi Family Adoptee

Abukawa: I think it's almost time for him to get up...
Heiji: Then I hope you'll let us wait for him...

Abukawa: You listen closely to what he says!
--I can't deal with it anymore...
Conan/Heiji: Huh?

10
Heiji: He wants to die so he'll be at ease?

Heiji: The old man
-- really said that?
Abukawa: Yes...

Abukawa: If he's going to be eaten up by the cursed demon dog...
Conan: It's possible he's seen the dog...
Heiji: Yeah!

Abukawa: Well, I'm going out to buy dinner,　so would you mind keeping an eye on things here?
Heiji: Sure, no problem!

Heiji: A cursed demon dog...
Conan: Well, it's good Ran and her dad aren't here...

Heiji: But at least the old detective guy should have come!
Conan: He can't miss Okino Youko's daytime drama!

Heiji: Just waiting around is boring, though...

Conan: Hey, have you heard anything else about the case?
Heiji: If you mean the names of the 8 adoptees...

11
Heiji: Let's see...Their first names are: Shinichi, Takako, Saki,Tomoaki...
--Miwako, Yoshiya, Keiji, and Miyuki...

Heiji: I hear the names were all chosen by that Chairman Inubushi who died 5 years ago!
Conan: Oh...

Conan: Then which are the two that are dead?
Heiji: Um..I think they're...

Heiji: What's that sound?
Conan: I guess instead of an alarm clock he used a timer to play music.

Heiji: Hey, old man! It's really loud!

Heiji: Huh?

Heiji: T-The door...
--It's taped shut with packing tape...

12
Conan: The window, too...

Heiji: There's a charcoal stove in the center of the room...

Conan: Carbon monoxide poisoning!!
Heiji: A charcoal suicide?

13
Heiji: Alright! I'll peel off the tape and open the window...
Conan: And I'll take out the stove!

Conan/Heiji: HAAA [Sound of inhaling]

Heiji: Dammit! They'll stuck on tight!
--Didn't he have a bad back?

Heiji: I'll use these books as a stool...

Heiji: Huh?

Conan: What?
--This stove...

Abukawa: Wha...

14
Abukawa: What is this?
--What's the meaning of all this?

Heiji: Carbon monoxide poisoning!!

Conan: Stay there!!
--You can't come in!

Abukawa: Eh?
Conan/Heiji: Phew

Heiji: We were here about 30 minutes ago, right?
Abukawa: Y-Yes...

15
Conan: The jaw's begun to stiffen...

Heiji: The back is showing slight signs of postmortem lividity...

Heiji: In addition, the pile of books made into a stool...

Conan:　This charcoal stove...

Conan: It's unmistakable...
Heiji: Right...

Abukawa: Anyway, I'll go...
--contact the police
Heiji: Before you do that...

Heiji: There's a little something we'd like to ask you...
Abukawa: Eh?

16
Conan: Why'd you kill the old man?

Abukawa: Huh?
--What?

Abukawa: H-How!?
Heiji: That's our line...

Conan: Don't say that it was because of the...
Heiji: Demon dog's curse!!
Sidetext:　What's their basis for determining her to be the culprit!?
