Detective Conan Episode 406 ✅
Yukie discovered the truth about the locket one year ago. She found the old photo and recognized her sister. She realized her husband was the man who killed her sister. She pretended not to know, but she began planning her revenge.
Ran, watching, has tears in her eyes. Conan, however, remains stoic but somber. He concludes: "The locket was supposed to be a memento of atonement, but it became a motive for murder. A coincidence of timing and hidden truths."
However, the locket Keisuke always wore did not contain a picture of a childhood sweetheart—it contained a picture of , the girl he killed. He wore it as a constant reminder of his guilt, a promise to himself to never forget the life he took and to live honorably. Detective Conan Episode 406
This episode is an anime-original story (filler) that aired on June 13, 2005. It is a single-episode case featuring Conan, Ran, and Kogoro Mouri. Opening Scene: The Afternoon at the Mouri Detective Agency
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan drive to the area where Keisuke’s car signal was last detected. It is a narrow, winding mountain road surrounded by dense forest. After searching for a while, they spot a dark blue sedan crashed into a ditch off the side of the road. The car is empty, but the doors are unlocked. Yukie discovered the truth about the locket one year ago
He explains: Ten years ago, Keisuke Sonoda caused an accident that killed Miyuki, Yukie’s sister. Keisuke was never criminally charged due to a lack of evidence that he was driving, but civilly, he paid a large settlement. He later met Yukie, who apparently did not know his connection to her sister’s death. They married.
The main suspect becomes Yukie Sonoda herself. But she has a solid alibi: she was at a friend’s house for tea from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM that day, and then at a supermarket (recorded by security cameras) from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. She couldn’t have driven to the mountain, killed him, and returned in that timeframe. She pretended not to know, but she began
Yukie explains the circumstances of her husband’s disappearance. Three days ago, Keisuke left their home in the morning saying he was going to visit a construction site in the neighboring city. He took his car. He never returned, and his phone has been turned off since that afternoon. The police tracked his car’s GPS, but the signal was lost in a remote mountainous area on the outskirts of town.
Initially, it looks like an accident or suicide. But Conan notices the critical contradiction: Keisuke’s watch is broken, showing the time of 2:15 PM, and the date on the watch is the day he disappeared. However, the pathologist later confirms that the time of death was around 8:00 PM that evening. If he fell at 2:15 PM, he couldn’t have died at 8:00 PM. Therefore, the watch was smashed deliberately to mislead investigators.
The episode begins on a peaceful, rainy afternoon. Ran Mouri is cleaning the agency when she notices Conan Edogawa staring out the window, deep in thought. Kogoro Mouri is, as usual, sitting at his desk with a can of beer and a horse racing newspaper, grumbling about his losses. Ran scolds him for being lazy and not having any clients.
Kogoro inspects the car. There are no signs of a struggle—no blood, no torn fabric. The keys are still in the ignition. In the back seat, they find a briefcase containing architectural blueprints and a lunchbox that has begun to spoil. However, something is missing: the silver locket. Yukie had specifically mentioned it, but it’s not in the car or on the ground around it.
