第1041話: 正体不明の男の調査とアリバイ

1041

An old lady was pushed down the stone steps of a temple in Yonehana-cho. She says that a young woman down pushed her, but there is no other information. Among the onlookers, she spots a man staring at the old woman. She calls out to him, but he acts suspiciously and leaves the scene, saying he knows nothing about it. Apparently, he had seen the crime scene, but has a reason he cannot tell. Conan and the Detective Boys split into two groups and begin investigating the man. Conan and Haibara learn from a waitress at a coffee shop that he is a man named Kanieda who lives in the town of Shikabane. The town is more than an hour away and they have never been to the coffee shop before, but the waitress remembers a phone call to the coffee shop that was addressed to Kanieida and how he looked at that time. Conan and the others attempt to contact Kanieida, who entrusted them with a lighter that he had left behind at the time. 　Meanwhile, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, who had been tracking Kanieida, saw him wandering around Yonehana for about an hour, minding his watch, and then getting on a train from Yonehana Station while talking on his cell phone. Why did he use the phone at the coffee shop even though he had a cell phone?　Conan is distrustful of Kanieida's appearance. Conan and the others identify the station where Kanieida is headed and chase after him. There, they see him and Detective Takagi and the others together. Conan and his friends interview him and find out that his name is "Eiichi Usui," which they thought was Kanieida. (Source: Wikipedia)
