Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target 名探偵コナン 14番目の標的

The Fourteenth Target is the second Conan movie, which was released in 1998 and is also one of my favorite Conan movies. And I am going to introduce this story briefly.








People who related to 毛利小五郎 are attacked by someone and  a playing card is left at the scene after every raid. The murderer uses playing card's number to symbol who's going to be killed. From the clue they all think that the murderer must be 村上丈, who was arrested by 小五郎 before and he might want to revenge.

辻弘樹

They follow the sequence backward to save people from being killed. The first one is 辻弘樹, whose name has a ten. The murderer replaces 辻弘樹's eye drops with mydriatic medicine to make him be blinded by sun and tried to kill him when he drives his helicopter. Fortunately, he is saved by Conan. 

The reason why the murderer wants to kill him is that the murderer was insulted by 辻弘樹 about his job at a party.

After they visit a person named 澤木公平, whose name has a eight, they follow him to go to a meeting with the owner of Aqua crystal, named 旭勝義, whose name has a nine, about the restaurant over there. At there, they meet 小山內奈奈,whose name has a seven, 宍戸永明, whose name has a six, 仁科稔, with two, and Peter Ford, whose name has a four. They also realize that 白鳥警部, whose name is 任三郎, has a three in his name. Almost every one except 工藤新一 are the victims who have the chance to be killed.














At Aqua crystal, 旭勝義 is killed first and is drowned in the aquarium. The reason why he is killed is that he owns tens of thousands of wine; however, he doesn't take good care of them, After him is 小山內奈奈, who is killed when the light turns off by an explosion. 小山內奈奈 hit the murderer as she driving so fast then caused the murderer to gained Dysgeuisa and also influence his ability to do his job as a wine steward, so the murderer wants to revenge on it. The last the murderer's target is 仁科稔. Because 仁科稔 can't swim so the murderer causes the restaurant to flood and try to drown 仁科稔. 仁科稔 is a food critic; however, he is totally not good at this area and he even wrote the wrong information in his books and misled his readers.

In the end, Conan reveals that the murderer was not 村上丈 due to the fact that 村上丈 is left-handed, but the murderer was right-handed. He reveals that 澤木公平 is the murderer.

村上丈

My favorite scene is that when the restaurant is full of water, everyone all comes to the surface but only 蘭 doesn't make it. When Conan tries to save Ran, he ends up getting his leg stuck and running out of oxygen. However, Ran gives the oxygen that Conan had given to her in the form of a kiss. Conan then quickly uses the elastic suspenders to move the car, and save 蘭. I think this scene is very romantic.

 

I really like the author using playing cards as an idea to symbol who to kill. Hope you will like this movie! 

Detective Conan: The Lost ship in the Sky 名探偵コナン 天空の難破船

This time I am going to introduce another Conan movie, which was released in 2010: The Lost ship in the Sky. This movie is the 14th Conan movie and is one of my favorite movies. The reason that I love this movie is not only the whole story is set on the airship but also one of the famous character named 怪盗キッド appear in this movie.




The movie begins with the scene that a terrorist group invades a laboratory containing a deadly bacteria and destroys the lab with an explosion. They later announce via the internet that they have gained possession of the bacteria and declare themselves to be the Red Siamese Cats, a terrorist group that was eradicated a decade ago.

Lady Sky

One day, Conan, 毛利蘭, 毛利小五郎, 阿笠博士 and Detective Boys are invited by 鈴木園子's uncle, 鈴木次吉郎 to fly in his airship to witness his attempt at capturing 怪盗キッド by baiting him with the jewel called Lady Sky. 怪盗キッド replies to 鈴木次吉郎's challenge with a letter announcing that he will steal Lady Sky when the airship approaches Osaka. On the airship, besides 鈴木次吉郎's employees and the police, there are also four people who works for the media.

At first, their main mission is to capture 怪盗キッド; however, thing starts to change when a waitress finds an ampule with the logo of the Red Siamese Cats under the sofa in the smoking room. Two people have been found having rash over their body. To prevent them from passing the disease to others, the two people are quarantined in a separate room. When Conan try to find Detective Boys, who are looking around in the airship, to warn them about the disease, he also witness someone unlock the roof to allow Red Siamese Cats to enter and hijack the ship.Their leader announces that they plan to get revenge on 次吉郎 and that they will detonate the bombs on the ships, or release a second ampule containing the bacteria, if they resist.






Because Conan disarms the bomb and tries to disturb their plan, he is thrown out through the window by the leader and is saved by 怪盗キッド. After that, Conan and 怪盗キッド use a police helicopter to re-board the airship. Meanwhile, with the help of his friend 服部平次, Conan know the Red Siamese Cats' true motive: using the airship to evacuate the city in order to steal the priceless Buddha statues. Therefore, he asks 服部平次 to 奈良 to protect the Buddha statues.

怪盗キッド disguises as 工藤新一

In the end, Conan discover the truth that the Red Siamese Cats have never released a bacteria and the real mastermind behind the heist is the man who gets a rash first. Also, they using the terrorist name Red Siamese Cats as a cover up.




In this movie, the funniest part is the time when Conan is thrown out from the airship and he stays with 怪盗キッド.

When Conan is asking for help from 服部平次,
怪盗キッド is feeding the goat.

I really like this movie that I not only watched this movie in the theater but also buy the DVD of it, so I can watch it again and again. :)
