I've decided.
I don't intend to turn back.
The result of all my worrying…
I won't regret it!
I must see it through!
Hello? Yes, I saw your flyer advertising for a part-time job opening.
Yes, I thought I would love to work--
Yes, so I called… Yes!
"THE PART-TIME WORKERS' REQUIEM"
Call finished.
Opening staff…
Everyone's on the same start line.
No senior staff to tread lightly around.
As fellow newbies, we can overlook mistakes!
-No worries! -I did the same thing.
It's perfect for me!
Here, in Beika Town, I'll kill that guy.
However…
I still don't know where exactly he is.
All I need is murderous intent, tenacity,
and lastly…
a stable income!
And your desired work time?
Daytime, if possible! But nighttime is okay too!
Five days a week!
Hm.
Yes!
In three days, all opening staff have training.
-Yes, yes! -The time will be…
I got a job!
Huh? Hanzawa, you look happy!
Did you get a job?
Yay! Today we party!
RENTAL VIDEOS TRITON
I wonder what the other staff are like?
The same age?
Can we get along?
Maybe I will even meet…
my soulmate!
MANAGER
CONTINUED IN PART B
Manager…
The culprit that killed the manager…
is among the opening staff!
Whaaat?!
Th-The first time I've seen a body! My first crime scene!
This is the smell of blood!
Jeez, is this Japan's idea of job training?
As part-timers, we should consider all the possibilities.
Luminol? As expected of a former coroner. That's good to have.
Stabbed in the heart. This is a murder.
Am I the only one who's shocked? Why are they so used to this?
At the time of the manager's death, we were all blah blah.
The culprit surprised him and blah blah.
Ah, us opening staff were blah blah blah.
Which of course means blah blah blah. The door key was blah blah.
Could it be, blah blah blah?
The topic is so advanced, I have no clue what they're saying!
That means, the culprit is…
The culprit? Me?!
You're wrong! It's not me! Not yet at least, I'm still innocent!
Yes, the culprit is…
the one currently disposing of the weapon!
It's you, Mr. Hanma!
First, with the clock needle, you blah blah blah blah blah.
You secured an alibi…
Wow, I'm clueless, but I think he's breaking it down!
Sorry about the fake-out.
The poison called lies is very effective against criminals.
What a brilliant deduction…
To solve a case before the police even arrive…
It's as if they're…
detectives!
It's a secret that I'm a detective!
We're undercover, investigating this company's dark rumors!
Don't tell anyone.
Well spotted!
Are you a detective too?
These are my coworkers?
I've heard of this. Detectives have…
shrewd insight, unparalleled memory, concentration, judgement,
and the physical strength to catch the culprits!
How very… very reliable!
I'm Hanzawa! I look forward to working together!
-Same here. -Same here.
Opening day.
Welcome!
There's so many people!
Because there was a murder.
To celebrate the opening, one DVD is ten yen.
The new manager said so.
Such precision on the register!
Excuse me, where is Explosion Cowboy?
The sixth shelf, second from the top, 32 disks from the right.
He's already memorized it?!
A drop off.
Let's go.
It's opening day, that's not possible!
Do you have Fantastic Animal?
Oh! Yes, uh…
Rather than fantasy, can I interest you in the far deeper entertainment, mystery?
Allow me to guide you.
My top ten recommendations are…
-What? -Mogi!
Ah, they're lining up!
Hakuba is the only decent one.
I received word of a troublesome case, so I left early.
I'll leave Watson in my place.
Hakuba!
A hawk is working the register!
So cool!
How cute!
-What the heck? -Awesome!
How rare!
I want to see!
Attention, staff! The register, please!
Attention, staff! Urgent! The register, please!
You detectives! Do your jooob!
-Hello? -Hello. Part-time leader?
Yes? Wait, no, I'm not--
I'm wrapped up in an incident.
Sorry, but could you take my shift?
No, that's a bit…
I worked five days, so today is my day off…
Please, part-time leader! A girl was kidnapped and needs my help!
The kidnappers will only talk to me!
I understand. Please save that girl.
Of course! I owe you, part-time leader!
No, I'm not the leader--
Those damn detectives!
Until next time!
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
Good grief, quit messing around!
As if I'd let some detectives look down on me!
And so, next time,
I'll show them that a parody of a popular mystery anime can make it
if we put our heart into it!
The title is "Next Conan's Hint: Hairball."
Sure to surpass a certain cat robot and yellow electric mouse,
the secret weapon for explosive popularity is finally here!
Those detectives that pushed me around!
Watch your back! And wash it, and your hands,
with soap, and gargle and keep your distance and wait!
Get with the times!
