DCTP CBOX ZENTHISOROR'S EPIC TRANSLATION POWERS! Title: "A Meeting at Columbo" Ran, Kogoro and Conan are watching news about a three bank robbers in the office. Kogoro: "This has been the only piece of news the whole morning..." Ran: "Well, it's only been one week from the robbery, and one of the bankers was apparently shot..." Kogoro: "Yeah...was that because he tried to go against them?" Conan: "I don't think so...apparently he put both his hands up and said. "Okay, please stop!" and tried to cool the situation." Amuro: "Well, the won't be able to do anything with the money. The 2 hundred million yen they took (~2.5 million USD) were all new notes and there are records of the codes on them." Kogoro: "Yeah...it's only a matter of time then before they're caught...and what the hell are you doing here?" Amuro had brought up sandwiches for them. Conan: This guy's got too much spare time on his hands. Amuro: "And so, do you know what kind of case your client will be bringing today? (Kogoro: How the hell do you know about that?) Well, usually Sunday lunchtime Master Mouri reserves time for reading the Racing Post...Today, he's shaved...and right now it's supposed to be Okino Yoko's..." Kogoro hurriedly changes the channel. Ran: "He shifted the time for meeting the client because he wanted to see this show live." Conan: This guy's got too much spare time too. A message comes to Kogoro's phone from Kashizuka Kei, saying she wants to change the meeting place to Columbo. Kogoro says he can't be bothered to go but Ran says that isn't even lunch time yet and pushes him to get up. She tells him off for dropping cigarette ash on the table. Amuro: "Do you mind if I sit down with you?" Kogoro: "So long as you pay your tuition fees..." When Kogoro and Co. leave the agency, there's a mysterious shadow watching them go. At the Columbo, Kogoro explains the case: A coin locker key was found amongst the belongings of the client's deceased brother and she wants Kogoro to identify which locker it belongs to. Kogoro: "Generally when it comes to keys you can use the serial number and the manufacturing company's name to find things out...and I get 300000yen (~$3838 USD) for this!" They wait for the client and start muttering about how she's late and hasn't turned up. Kogoro notices that the previous mail address of the e-mail from the client is different from the one just received. Ran: "Maybe her phone's charging and she's had to use a friend's to send the message?" Amuro: "And then her friend switched off the phone?" Kogoro: "I sent back an OK message to the second address!" Conan: "So maybe she's waiting back at the office, not knowing that you'd replied?" They send a message to the first e-mail address, saying that they were going to go back to the office. When they get back to the office, Kogoro is about to go to the loo when another message arrives, "I've just arrived at Columbo. Could you come as quickly as possible?" Conan is about to go to the loo too when another message comes in, "Hurry and bring everybody with you." Conan and Amuro: "Alright, let's go." They leave the room Amuro: "Clearly there was somebody who didn't want the client to meet with Master Mouri...he sent the message to get the Master out of the office and then met with the client himself, pretending to be an employee at the office. As evidence of that, note the traces of the door having been forced open, there's a damp cup in the cutlery cupboard...knowing Miss Ran, I doubt that she'd put away a damp mug." Conan: "And the ash on the table has been wiped off." Amuro: "So somebody invited in the client whilst we were out and put out some tea." Ran: "But...but...why would somebody...she only came because she wanted to have a coin locker found..." Kogoro: "Maybe there's something tremendously valuable in the locker..." Amuro: "Hmm...in which case, shall we ask the person himself? It was when the Master... and then when Conan...tried to go to the toilet that..." Conan: "And there are traces of something having been dragged up to the toilet door..." Amuro: "That's right. Somebody, for some reason, grabbed the client and is still hiding inside the toilet." Suddenly there's a loud bang. Conan runs to the toilet, where they find a woman with her mouth and body bound up with tape. Beside her is a dead man pointing a gun at himself. He's sat down on the toilet seat, holding the gun in both hands, and between his knees... Conan and Amuro: "What?!" The police arrive. Megure: "Kashizuka Kei, you came here to ask Mouri to look for a coin locker but she were knocked out by a man calling himself Mouri's apprentice with a stungun. When you came to, you were bound and in the toilet..." Kashizuka: "Yes...he'd taken away my boots to stop me running away...and pulled out all of the shoestrings..." Megure: "Then Mouri came home, and this man panicked and put the gun in his own mouth and shot himself. But why did he put you in the toilet?" Kashizuka: "He was asking me over and over again where the coin locker for the key was...and that if I didn't tell him, he'd shoot me." Takagi: "Inspector! Apparently we couldn't find much trace of the shooting on her clothes..." Megure: "In which case it would be correct to assume that the man shot himself...and that she is telling the truth...Right, well, now it's time to find this coin locker and find out why this man committed suicide. Amuro and Conan silently observe the weeping Kashizuka. Done

Here's a new Shinichi & Ran AMV for you all to enjoy! It's probably one of the most dramatic ShinRan music video out there! Tell me what you think of it. Copy URL and paste to the address bar to watch video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X868YiWzG1U

It's a bit big (okay, a lot big) but the smaller version is all pixelly and crappy. Hopefully DCW shrinks it. Please leave comments! (because I'm proud of this!)

Spoiler for file 796 is out. Conan 48:69 has posted it on DCTP. FOR TRANSLATION, SEE CHEK'S POST BELOW. EDIT: Don't question me about the tittle. I was blackmailed. I only follow the order :V

The fangirl book I think...

He isn't. Being in a child's body forces him to put his HUGE ego away.

i am bad in ENGLISH but i can tell you that I LOVE YOU.. i can tell you that you LIVE in my HEART i am bad in HISTORY but i can tell WHATS the REACTION when you SMILE i am BAD in PHYSICS but i can tell the INTENSITY of SPARK of my EYES when they SEE you.. I am BAD in every SUBJECT but i can TELL ALL I will PASS all SUBJECTS if the TOPIC is you. <3 so sweet...

my friend who studies jap tried the translation in romaji but he is not sure

nananawagan din ako na sana po kapag may nakakita kay MM at ate Say ay agad pong ipagbigay alam sa aming himpilan... Ilang araw na po silang nawawala at ang mga nagmamahal sa kanila ay lubos na pong nag-aalala... salamat po...

I agree... P.S. Nananawagan po ako kina harrieth.dc at angelranchan na magparamdam naman kayo! D:

I wish you all happiness.

Awesome! XD I was just KIDding. It's always the time to have close friends!

I smiled because of sonoci's awesome story telling skills. And because Jd- is awesome.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

"The only thing constant in this world is change." "Seeing people change isn't what hurts. What hurts is remembering who they used to be."

Everyone knows that will happen... However, the question posed is who is better off with Shinichi, not who will eventually end up with Shinichi.

Something like these ?

I'm pairing everyonexeveryone. Good. Now we don't need a 237 page thread about fictional pairings that is nothing more than another excuse to spam. Thread locked.

"Happiness doesn't seem to have a place in this world." "I'm not hurt that you lied to me, I'm hurt that from now on, I can't trust you."

I AM THE GREATEST CRIMINAL. *STEALS ALL THE PIE IN THE WORLD*

This couple is strange because it appears at first to be the very competent woman lawyer and the incompetent man detective, while in fact Kogoro is far from being a bad detective. Kogoro is not as intelligent as Shinichi, Heiji or Masumi but, when he acts seriously, his reasonings are clearly superior to those of the police. He's able to make reasonings that even the police (especially Megure) aren't able to follow, even though he needs Conan's help to dodge the "tricks" of the culprits. And, even though he makes mistakes in his reasonings, he's still one of the most determined investigators of the series: he always investigates thoroughly a case until he honestly thinks he has solved it and he's more interested to see the culprit being exposed than he is to be paid (he never turned down money when he's offered but, when a crime happens randomly nearby, he never asks for it and investigates for free). When we consider it, it's a quality that few characters of the series possess in fact (mainly the high-school detectives). I think, if Kogoro was more often serious, their couple would have been the most dangerous of the whole series, the perfect combination of the investigation and the law.

this goes back to the timeline issue, I think... even though not much story-time has passed during all of this real-world-time, Aoyama-sensei has been quoted saying that he draws whatever season is outside his window... I'm fairly certain this extends to technology as well, so even if her cell phone plan didn't say it was time for an update, Aoyama-sensei would have given her better technology anyway (hence why Conan's bento box/ fax machine only showed up once in the entire series)
