File 9: The tragedy of Gomera

Page 2
Megure: is that true, Conan?
Megure: you say that someone dressed up as Gomera killed the productor?
Conan: yes
Conan: we went after him�
Conan: �as soon as he left the scenery, we went up the stairs heading to the roof�
Conan: we thought he hid there, but�
Conan: there wasn�t anyone

Page 3
Conan: and when we looked doen, we saw the costume�
Megure: and there wasn�t anybody inside�
Megure: although we found the weapon next to the costume all stained with the victim�s blood�
Megure: �the murderer can�t have disappeared�
Megure: �did you really go after him?
Conan: if you don�t believe me, go see it yourself� its prints are all over the corridor and the stairs.
Megure: prints?
Conan: yeah, he had its feet painted because he dropped some paint
Conan: �and we weren�t the only ones to see him!
Conan: Tomomi crashed with him in the corridor
Conan: and before killing the productor, he tried to kill Matsui in a store room
Megure: a store room?
Conan: yeah! Right, boys?

Page 4
Conan: eh?
Ayumi : snif�
Conan: but �
Ayumi: �Gomera died, didn�t he?
Genta: I thought he was immortal�
Conan: �but, kids, that was only a costume!
Mitsuhiko: it�s the same, now they won�t be able to make more movies of Gomera�
Conan: �fool! They only have to use another costume!
Mikami: we can�t, we only had one
Conan: eh? Really?
Mikami: yes, it was the only one and we used it very carefully as not to increase the amount of money we spent
Megure: eh? Who are you?
Mikami: I�m the director of Gomera, my name is Mikami.

Page 5
Megure: excuse me, but� where were you at 11:30?
Mikami: I was checking the last scene� we had to film it at the evening
Megure: do you have any witnesses?
Mikami: �no
Conan: eh?
Conan: (�is that sweat?)
Conan: wow, Mr Mikami, you are sweating�
Conan: Mikami: yes, I use to sweat a lot.
Mikami: also, my window�s office was closed and the air-conditioned shut down. That�s how I like to work.
Mikami: I concentrate better and finish before
Conan: �I see�
Mikami: It�s a pity we can�t film that scene now� the productor died and�
Mikami: all my work has been for nothing
Mikami: whatever, let�s go to the scenery and listen to the two witnesses� declarations�
Conan: �

Page 6
Megure: I see
Megure: so when you entered this room, the murderer, dressed up as Gomera, was already here
Matsui: yes
Matsui: I thought that someone wanted to meke a joke, and I approached him normally�
Matsui: �and, suddenly, he attacked me with a knife
Megure: and the children came as soon as they heard you cry from the room next to this one
Matsui: yes
Matsui: ugh
Megure: are you ok?
Policeman: it�s a quite big wound
Policeman: I could stop the haemorrhage, but he needs to go to the hospital the sooner the better
Megure: mmm, it could be difficult to kill someone with a wound like that�
Conan: �

Page 7
Megure: �ah, was it you�
Megure: �the one who found the corpse and called the police?
Tomomi: yes� the boys went out of the scenery very upset, so I went in
Tomomi: �and I found the productor among those small buidings, all covered in blood
Tomomi: ...I called the police right then
Megure: is it true that you crashed with the murderer in the corridor?
Tomomi: yeah� and then I crashed with the kids
Megure: what were you doing here?
Tomomi: �I wanted the productor to see the records from yesterday. I went to look for him to the restaurant, but they said he was in the scenery
Megure: �the records?
Tomomi: yes� we were watching them in the screen room and I liked it so much that I wanted the productor to watch it, to see if he changed his opinion of the series

Page 8
Tomomi: �but I couldn�t imagine that this would happen
Conan: tomomi, you saw Gomera, didn�t you?
Tomomi: yes.
Conan: and didn�t you see who was inside it? The costume was open from behind�
Tomomi: yes, I also saw that it wasn�t closed, but it was too dark to see anything
Tomomi: but the way it was running�
Megure: how was it?
Tomomi: yeah, he went fast� but didn�t run as usual�
Tomomi: as if he weren�t used to it�
Mikami: of course, the only one used to that costume is Matsui, any other person couldn�t move easily inside it�
Megure: so, the murderer stabbed Mr Matsui in the store room�
Megure: miss Tomomi came to the scenery to call the productor�
Megure: �Mikami was in his office. The other people were in the screen room

Page 9
Agasa: yes, they were with me watching the records
Megure: eh? Who are you?
Agasa: I�m Shinichi�s neighbour, Agasa, a famous and fantastic scientific�
Megure: yes, I heard Shinichi talk about you�
Megure: �he said you invented funny things�
Agasa: ha, ha, ha!yes, yes
Agasa: damn you�
Conan: calm�
Megure: so the others were in the screen room�
Agasa: yes, only miss Tomomi went out before the others
Agasa: oh, now I remember, there was another person who went out for a moment
Megure: �eh?
Agasa: mmm�it was�
Adachi: �I already told you I don�t have anything to do with that painting�
Adachi: it shouldn�t have been here, we had to film this evening, who would leave paint in the scenery?
Agasa: �ohh, I remember, it was him

Page 10
Adachi: yeah, I went out for a moment�
Adachi: I saw something wrong in the records and went to the scenery to check it
Megure: so you came to repair something?
Adachi: when something is not in order, I need to repair it
Megure: how long were you outside the screen room?
Adachi: hey, are you making me a suspect?
Man: I don�t think he was out more that 4 or 5 minutes
Conan: (in that time it�s nearly impossible to put on the costume, kill the productor, go to the terrace and go back to the screen room�
Adachi: thanks to this paint, the murderer left prints.
Adachi: who left it here?
Tomomi: but weren�t you the one who left it?
Adachi: eh?

Page 11
Tomomi: when the morning rehearsal finished, you left it here�
Tomomi: �don�t you remember?
Adachi: �
Adachi: �ah, that�s right! I forgot it!
Megure: I see�
Policeman: Sir, in reception they say only this team was in the studies today�
Megure: �I see
Conan: hey�
Conan: why wasn�t Mr Matsui watching the records?
Conan: if he was the one wearing Gomera�s costume, he should like to watch it�
Adachi: don�t know, lately he didn�t want to see any records
Mikami: that�s because he was fed up with Gomera and wanted to leave�
Conan: really?
Mikami: �.yes, he told the productor that he didn�t want to be Gomera anymore�
Mikami: and that decided the productor to end the series
Tomomi: that doesn�t matter now�
Adachi: you�re right
Conan: �

Page 12
Conan: (the murderer wasn�t in the screen room at crime time�)
Conan: (so it has to be Mr Adachi, Mr Matsui , Tomomi or director Mikami)
Conan: (only Mikami could be the assassin�)
Conan: (�but I can�t understand how could the murderer vanish so suddenly)
Conan: (we saw it)
Conan: (we saw how Gomera passed that corner�)
Conan: (�and then we followed the prints and went up the stairs�)
Ayumi: hey, Conan, let�s go bury Gomera
Conan: (�and then we went to the terrace through that door�)
Ayumi: let�s go, Conan�
Conan: �SHUT UP!!!
Conan: I can�t do that now!!!
Genta: don�t shout like Gomera!
Conan: like Gomera?
Genta: look at this!

Page 13
Genta: from here on, there aren�t tail prints�
Conan: eh?
Genta: thatmeans Gomera got angry and raised its tail while going up the stairs
Mitsuhiko: I understand! When Gomera gets angry, he raises its tail
Conan: (�wait a moment)
Conan: (maybe�)
Genta: Conan!
G: what�s happening, Conan?
[door: chas]
Genta: Conan!

Page 14
Conan: !?
Mitsuhiko: what�s happening?
Genta: hey, Conan�
Ayumi: did you see anything?
Conan: ha!
Conan: (I know how he did it!)
Conan: (let�s go to the scenery to talk with the suspects)
Ayumi: Conan�
Genta: what�s up with him?
Mitsuhiko: he gets angry and then he laughs�
Ayumi: I can�t understand him

Page 15
Conan: why can�t we go into the scenery?
Policeman: it�s not a place for children to play�
Conan: (shit. Let�s look for another entrance)
Conan: (oh, this one is also shut�)
Conan: eh?
Conan: (I think I can go into the scenery through that store room.)
Policeman: kids!
Conan: I forgot something
Conan: oh�

Page 16
Megure: oh, Conan
Conan: what are you all doing here?
Mikami: we�re taking Matsui to the hospital
Megure: with this wound he can�t play Gomera�s role
Adachi: he can�t play anything
Tomomi: now the series is really over
Mikami: I would like all to end well� what a pity
Conan: �
Conan: Mr Matsui!
Conan: before, you showed us parts of Gomera
Conan: are there also feet?
Matsui: yeah� of course
Matsui: why do you want to know?
Conan: oh, for nothing

Page 17
Mikami: let�s go to the hospital
Megure: hey�
Conan: �eh?
Megure: did you solve the case, Shinichi?
Conan: no, I still don�t know who is the murderer
Conan: and I also don�t understand�
Conan: �why the murderer had to attack Matsui in this store room
Megure: maybe he wanted to take a knife and found Matsui�
Conan: but all these knives are false, I think�
Conan: none of them cut�
Conan: ..ouch!!

Page 18
Conan: ehh??
Conan:  ( wait a moment�)
Conan: (then, the murderer�)
Conan: !?
Conan: (�can only be that person!!)
