    A 60-minute Detective Conan Special!
[00:04] ---
    Today's case is a bit startling!
[00:06] ---
    An impossible and illogical murder
    in a secluded mountain temple!
[00:10] ---
    The eerie legend of the Kiri Tengu...
[00:12] ---
    No matter how it's hidden,
    there's always only one truth!

[01:53] ---
    Mountain cherry blossoms
    are so pretty!
[01:55] ---
    Look, there are some
    on that mountain too!
[01:57] ---
    The Someiyoshi cherry blossoms
    they have in the city aren't bad,
[02:01] ---
    but the cherry blossom's true beauty
    is only found here in the wild,
[02:06] ---
    secluded away from civilization.
[02:09] ---
    What a wet blanket...
[02:13] ---
    You say something?!
[02:15] ---
    It was worth renting a car and
    coming all the way here, huh?!
[02:19] ---
    For sure.
[02:20] ---
    What do you say we take a picture?
[02:22] ---
    Here, you two stand over there!
[02:25] ---
    Let's go, Conan-kun!
[02:26] ---
    Yeah!
[02:30] ---
    Use the timer so
    you can get in the picture too!
[02:33] ---
    Sure! Just a sec!
[02:35] ---
    My name is Conan Edogawa.
[02:38] ---
    This is the would-be famous
    detective, Kogoro Mori.
[02:41] ---
    And this is my childhood
    friend and classmate, Ran Mori.
[02:45] ---
    Eh? How can she be my classmate?
[02:49] ---
    The truth is, I'm actually high
    school detective Shinichi Kudo.
[02:53] ---
    Yes. It all began on that day...
[02:57] ---
    I went to Tropical Land with Ran,
[03:00] ---
    and there I witnessed a mysterious
    organization blackmailing someone.
[03:04] ---
    I watched Vodka,
    a man dressed in black,
[03:08] ---
    while Gin, another man
    in black, snuck up behind me.
[03:13] ---
    I was knocked to the ground
[03:15] ---
    and forced to take a poison
    the organization had developed.
[03:29] ---
    M-My body's burning up!
[03:32] ---
    It's like my bones are melting!
[03:36] ---
    I can't hold on!
[03:42] ---
    When a police officer woke me up--
[03:45] ---
    my body had shrunk!
[03:46] ---
    So all we need to
    do is find those guys
[03:50] ---
    and get some of those pills!
[03:51] ---
    Listen, Shinichi!
[03:53] ---
    If they find out you're still alive,
[03:55] ---
    they'll come back to
    take care of you for good!
[03:58] ---
    This must stay a secret
    between just the two of us!
[04:00] ---
    You mustn't tell anyone at all!
[04:02] ---
    That means not even Ran-kun!
[04:04] ---
    This old man is Professor
    Agasa, an inventor.
[04:09] ---
    In my shrunken state,
    I became Conan Edogawa
[04:13] ---
    and wound up living with
    Ran and her detective father,
[04:17] ---
    in the hopes of obtaining
    information about the men in black.
[04:20] ---
    But he's a horrible detective,
[04:24] ---
    so I used the Professor's Anesthetic
    Watch Gun to put him to sleep
[04:29] ---
    and my Voice-Altering Bow Tie
    to solve all sorts of difficult cases.
[04:37] ---
    And that's my life as Conan so far.
[04:40] ---
    When will I be able
    to turn back to normal?
[04:44] ---
    Oh well. It'll happen when it happens!
[04:47] ---
    Cheese!
[04:50] ---
    Well, we should head back.
[04:52] ---
    It looks like there's a shortcut
    up ahead, so let's take it.
[04:56] ---
    Are you sure about this, Dad?
    We're not going to get lost, are we?
[05:00] ---
    We'll be fine, don't worry!
[05:03] ---
    Let's get going.
[05:09] ---
    See, I told you!
[05:14] ---
    Now we're not only lost,
    but we have a flat tire too!
[05:17] ---
    Our fun trip's ruined now!
[05:20] ---
    Shut up!
[05:24] ---
    Just what we need-- rain.
[05:26] ---
    What now?!
[05:27] ---
    It's twenty or thirty kilometers to
    the bottom of the mountain!
[05:30] ---
    We have no other choice.
[05:31] ---
    It doesn't look like
    anyone lives around here,
[05:34] ---
    so we'll have to spend
    the night in the car.
[05:38] ---
    I don't want to camp out
    in a place like this!
[05:40] ---
    Can't you fix the flat tire?!
[05:43] ---
    No spare.
[05:46] ---
    Two flat tires in one day--
    talk about bad luck...
[05:50] ---
    Huh? Where'd he go?
[05:53] ---
    Eh?
[05:54] ---
    Conan-kun?
[05:56] ---
    Where are you, Conan-kun?
[06:02] ---
    What're you so worked up about?
[06:03] ---
    It was just a bird.
[06:08] ---
    What is it, Ran?
    What was that scream?
[06:11] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:13] ---
    Anyway, where were you?!
[06:16] ---
    You shouldn't wander
    off on your own like that!
[06:18] ---
    I found a temple up ahead.
[06:21] ---
    I bet someone lives there!
[06:31] ---
    You're right,
    there is a temple there.
[06:35] ---
    We're saved!
[06:37] ---
    Okay! Let's go check it out!
[06:39] ---
    Yeah!
[06:45] ---
    That's a really impressive place.
[06:50] ---
    Sandei Temple...
[06:52] ---
    It looks like our only option is
    to ask to stay the night...
[06:57] ---
    Hello? Pardon the intrusion!
[07:00] ---
    Is anyone here?
[07:03] ---
    What do you want?
[07:09] ---
    I asked you what you want here!
[07:12] ---
    I take it you're from a
    newspaper or television station?
[07:18] ---
    Leave!
[07:19] ---
    This place is not meant for
    uncouth vermin such as yourselves!
[07:23] ---
    No, we were just passing by
    when we got a flat tire.
[07:27] ---
    We were wondering if we could
    stay here for the night...
[07:31] ---
    What? You want to stay here?!
[07:34] ---
    Yes...
[07:35] ---
    But if that's a problem,
    we'll leave right away--
[07:39] ---
    Oh! Why didn't you say so sooner?!
[07:43] ---
    I had you pegged as reporters
    who came here about the incident...
[07:48] ---
    "The incident"?
[07:50] ---
    Oh, nothing of importance.
[07:52] ---
    One night plus vegetarian
    meals is 10,000 yen per adult
[07:57] ---
    and 8,000 yen per child.
[07:59] ---
    This temple also
    serves as a small inn...
[08:03] ---
    10,000 yen?!
[08:05] ---
    Take it or leave it.
[08:07] ---
    It's six hours to the
    bottom of the mountain.
[08:09] ---
    Walk if you'd like.
[08:11] ---
    I haven't said no yet...
[08:13] ---
    I see.
[08:14] ---
    Hey, we have our
    first guests in a long time!
[08:18] ---
    Wait!
[08:19] ---
    I haven't said yes yet, either...
[08:22] ---
    Take my advice. Stay the night.
[08:26] ---
    On rainy nights such as tonight,
[08:28] ---
    there's no way to know
    where it may be lurking...
[08:31] ---
    "It"?
[08:32] ---
    Is there a bear out there?
[08:34] ---
    A bear?
[08:36] ---
    It's not nearly as
    adorable, I'm afraid...
[08:40] ---
    No, I refer to an ancient beast
    that prefers rain and darkness
[08:44] ---
    and devours people's souls...
[08:47] ---
    The Kiri Tengu!
[08:49] ---
    The Kiri Tengu?!
[08:55] ---
    What am I thinking?!
    That name is taboo here!
[08:59] ---
    Forget what I just said!
[09:01] ---
    Huh?
[09:05] ---
    Oh, here you are.
[09:07] ---
    Allow me to introduce you to the
    four priests-in-training at this temple.
[09:12] ---
    This is Kannen. He has been here the longest
    and is like an older brother to the others.
[09:19] ---
    Pleased to meet you!
[09:21] ---
    This is Tonnen. He may eat a lot,
    but he's a great cook and strong, too.
[09:26] ---
    This is Mokunen. We leave all the carpentry
    work to him and his dexterous fingers.
[09:31] ---
    It's nice to meet you!
[09:32] ---
    This here is Shunen.
    He came to our temple just this year
[09:35] ---
    and although he's a bit timid,
    his passion for studying is unrivaled.
[09:39] ---
    Hello.
[09:40] ---
    And I'm Tenei--
    the head priest of this temple.
[09:45] ---
    Tonnen and Mokunen,
    prepare our dinner.
[09:48] ---
    Kannen and Shunen,
    show our guests around the temple.
[09:54] ---
    Understood!
[09:55] ---
    Looks like we're staying.
[09:57] ---
    Darn it!
[09:59] ---
    With the late fee on the rental
    car and the cost to stay here,
[10:01] ---
    I won't have any
    money for booze this month!
[10:04] ---
    This is Sandei Temple's main hall.
[10:07] ---
    It certainly is impressive.
[10:10] ---
    What do you say to having
    your own funeral services here?
[10:14] ---
    Just kidding!
[10:16] ---
    Lousy priest...
[10:19] ---
    This way, if you would...
[10:28] ---
    Huh? Why does
    that room have a lock on it?
[10:34] ---
    Empty...
[10:36] ---
    Wait, little boy! That's--
[10:39] ---
    It's just a small room...
[10:42] ---
    Little boy!
[10:43] ---
    Little boy!
[10:46] ---
    That's one tall ceiling!
[10:48] ---
    What is this room?
[10:51] ---
    What is it?
[10:54] ---
    Our meditation room.
[10:57] ---
    They used to lock priests in
    here who broke religious precepts
[11:00] ---
    to make them
    reflect on their mistakes.
[11:02] ---
    No wonder it's built so solidly...
[11:05] ---
    And they covered the room
    with lacquer to prevent climbing out...
[11:09] ---
    Say, why does this part
    of the wall have a different color?
[11:13] ---
    Mokunen-san fixed that after
    it was broken during the incident.
[11:19] ---
    Isn't that right, Kannen-san?
[11:22] ---
    What incident?
[11:24] ---
    It happened before
    I came to this temple,
[11:28] ---
    so I don't know the details.
[11:30] ---
    --But apparently the Kiri Tengu--
    --That's enough, Shunen!
[11:32] ---
    Our visitors don't
    need to hear about it!
[11:36] ---
    Sorry...
[11:38] ---
    Huh? What's that sound?
[11:41] ---
    The waterfall.
[11:42] ---
    Would you like to see it?
[11:44] ---
    It's right next to this room!
[11:49] ---
    Conan-kun! Hurry up!
[11:51] ---
    Okay!
[11:55] ---
    Wow! The waterfall's so close!
[11:59] ---
    Amazing!
[12:02] ---
    Look! Some of the water's
    even flowing over the handrail!
[12:07] ---
    Careful, now.
[12:08] ---
    While there is a drainboard there,
[12:10] ---
    you don't want to slip and fall.
[12:12] ---
    Oh! Cherry blossom petals!
[12:16] ---
    Yes. They fall down
    from the cherry trees above.
[12:21] ---
    Elegant, isn't it?
[12:23] ---
    Let's go back.
[12:25] ---
    Dinner should be ready by now.
[12:33] ---
    Priests have an image of being stiff,
[12:35] ---
    but you actually
    have lots of time to have fun!
[12:37] ---
    Yeah! Sometimes we even
    go to the beach during our breaks!
[12:42] ---
    We take out the temple's
    inflatable boat and beach ball...
[12:46] ---
    And the head priest is
    quite fond of girls in bikinis!
[12:50] ---
    That's enough.
[12:53] ---
    Say, I've been wondering
    about it for a while,
[12:56] ---
    but what's the Kiri Tengu?
[12:58] ---
    Where did you hear that name?!
[13:00] ---
    Forgive me. I allowed my
    mouth to get ahead of myself.
[13:05] ---
    Head Priest!
[13:06] ---
    It's just an absurd old tale.
[13:10] ---
    On rainy nights, the ancient
    Tengu creeps into the village
[13:14] ---
    and uses its tremendous
    strength to smash into houses
[13:18] ---
    and kidnap their inhabitants.
[13:19] ---
    It soars to the top of tall trees,
[13:22] ---
    hangs the corpses,
    and devours their flesh!
[13:29] ---
    He kidnaps only young
    girls who have tender meat!
[13:35] ---
    Yes, girls just like you...
[13:41] ---
    But it's just a legend,
    don't take it seriously!
[13:46] ---
    You heard him.
[13:47] ---
    But...
[13:49] ---
    But it's not just a story...
[13:53] ---
    There was an eerie incident
    just like that, two years ago...
[13:58] ---
    Mokunen!
[13:59] ---
    Say, why don't you ask them
    the details about that incident!
[14:04] ---
    After all, you are
    Kogoro Mori, Great Detective!
[14:08] ---
    You might find something out!
[14:10] ---
    The great detective?!
[14:11] ---
    --Mori?!
    - -Mori?!
[14:13] ---
    --Kogoro?!
    - -Kogoro?!
[14:14] ---
    You're famous!
[14:16] ---
    Only you could ever solve
    that difficult case!
[14:19] ---
    Please listen, Detective!
[14:21] ---
    Two years ago, a young priest--
[14:24] ---
    Silence!
[14:27] ---
    Have you forgotten our promise to
    never speak of that incident again?!
[14:31] ---
    But Head Priest!
[14:33] ---
    Dinner is over!
[14:35] ---
    Return to your rooms
    and get ready to sleep!
[14:44] ---
    Detective.
    I will let you stay the night,
[14:47] ---
    but I want you to leave the
    temple early tomorrow morning.
[14:49] ---
    Don't take it personally.
[14:52] ---
    Okay...
[15:31] ---
    Dad.
[15:33] ---
    Tengus aren't real, are they?
[15:35] ---
    Obviously not.
[15:37] ---
    Do you really think
    kappa and oni really exist?
[15:40] ---
    Tengus are the same--
    imaginary creatures invented by people.
[15:47] ---
    I guess you're right...
[15:48] ---
    Actually, the ancient Chinese
[15:49] ---
    referred to shooting stars that
    made loud, thunder-like sounds
[15:53] ---
    as "Heavenly Dogs,"
    or Tengu, thus the name.
[15:59] ---
    In China, such shooting stars
    were considered unlucky omens.
[16:04] ---
    Those beliefs came to Japan,
[16:06] ---
    and Tengus changed from strange
    phenomenon to strange monsters!
[16:13] ---
    For a little runt you sure
    know lots of weird things.
[16:18] ---
    I, uh, saw it on a
    TV show the other day...
[16:23] ---
    So there's nothing to be afraid of, Ran!
[16:29] ---
    Don't be silly,
    I'm not afraid of anything!
[16:33] ---
    Well, let's get some sleep.
[16:41] ---
    Conan-kun.
[16:42] ---
    If you get scared during the night,
    you can come sleep with me!
[16:47] ---
    Nighty night!
[16:49] ---
    Hey, now.
[16:51] ---
    Listen, Conan-kun.
[16:53] ---
    If you get scared during the night,
    you can come sleep with me!
[17:22] ---
    He kidnaps only young
    girls who have tender meat!
[17:27] ---
    Yes, girls just like you...
[17:40] ---
    Stupid Ran, waking us up in
    the middle of the night!
[17:44] ---
    What's the big deal?! I can't
    help that I'm a scaredy-cat!
[17:48] ---
    Hey, what do you
    think that incident was?
[17:50] ---
    Heck if I know.
[17:52] ---
    He doesn't want to talk about
    it, so it's best not to ask.
[17:56] ---
    As if the Kiri Tengu
    would actually appear...
[17:59] ---
    Oh?
[18:00] ---
    What is this about me?
[18:07] ---
    See! You're a scaredy-cat too!
[18:10] ---
    Ran! Where'd you get that mask?!
[18:13] ---
    It was hanging in the bathroom.
[18:15] ---
    Why you...
[18:17] ---
    What happened?!
[18:19] ---
    Nothing...
[18:22] ---
    Good night, Kannen-san!
[18:24] ---
    Pleasant dreams!
[18:27] ---
    I shouldn't have brought this!
    Now what do I do?
[18:30] ---
    You shouldn't have
    put it on in the first place!
[18:33] ---
    Now I'm wide awake.
[18:43] ---
    Breakfast is ready.
[18:46] ---
    Okay! We'll be there soon!
[18:50] ---
    You look pretty tired, Shunen-san...
[18:53] ---
    Yes. I was up late last night reading...
[18:56] ---
    Please excuse me.
[19:05] ---
    You didn't get much
    sleep either, Mokunen-san?
[19:08] ---
    No thanks to your screaming!
[19:11] ---
    I couldn't get any sleep after that!
[19:13] ---
    Sorry...
[19:15] ---
    But that's nothing compared
    to Tonnen, he hasn't slept at all.
[19:23] ---
    Where are the head
    priest and Kannen-san?
[19:26] ---
    We haven't seen the head priest,
    so Kannen went to look for him...
[19:31] ---
    He's probably in a room
    somewhere downing some sake--
[19:37] ---
    That was Kannen's voice!
[19:40] ---
    It sounded like it came
    from the meditation room!
[19:48] ---
    What is it?!
[19:49] ---
    Up there!
[19:54] ---
    Head Priest Tenei!
[20:03] ---
    The victim was this
    temple's head priest, Tenei.
[20:08] ---
    He died approximately between
    10:00 pm and 12:00 am last night.
[20:12] ---
    And you were the
    one who found his body.
[20:16] ---
    Correct, Kannen-san?
[20:18] ---
    Yes.
[20:19] ---
    We didn't see him this morning,
    so I went to look for him.
[20:23] ---
    And then I found him
    in this meditation room...
[20:27] ---
    And by yet another
    strange coincidence,
[20:29] ---
    the person who rushed
    here after the scream was--
[20:33] ---
    I, Kogoro Mori, Inspector Megure!
[20:39] ---
    But that was one extraordinary
    scream, Kannen-san!
[20:43] ---
    Not nearly as extraordinary as yours!
[20:45] ---
    You have really keen senses,
    don't you, Kannen-san?
[20:49] ---
    After all, the head priest
    was hanging all the way up there.
[20:54] ---
    If it were me, I probably wouldn't
    have seen him right away...
[21:00] ---
    That is strange, Kannen-san.
[21:03] ---
    You didn't happen to already know
[21:05] ---
    that he was hanging
    from the roof, did you?
[21:09] ---
    Nothing of the sort! I just--
[21:13] ---
    It was only natural for him to find it.
[21:16] ---
    Mokunen...
[21:17] ---
    The exact same thing happened
    in this room two years ago...
[21:22] ---
    Two years ago?!
[21:24] ---
    Yes. I was in charge of that case too.
[21:27] ---
    I believe the one who died was
    a priest-in-training named Chunen.
[21:31] ---
    And it was Kannen-san and
    Mokunen-san who found the body, right?
[21:37] ---
    Yes.
[21:38] ---
    It happened during
    the rainy season...
[21:43] ---
    After coming into
    this room to meditate,
[21:47] ---
    Chunen tore a big hole
    in the wall and disappeared.
[21:50] ---
    We looked for three days
    and three nights,
[21:52] ---
    but he was nowhere to be found.
[21:54] ---
    We assumed he had fled the temple,
[21:55] ---
    and on the morning of the 4th day,
[21:58] ---
    I came into this room
    with Kannen to fix the wall.
[22:01] ---
    When we happened to glance upward...
[22:13] ---
    ...there was Chunen-san,
    hanging from the ceiling!
[22:16] ---
    Is this hole the same
    place that was broken last time?
[22:20] ---
    Yes.
[22:21] ---
    At first, we thought that
    Chunen-san made it to escape,
[22:26] ---
    but the door to
    this room wasn't locked,
[22:29] ---
    and a local carpenter
    who came to fix the outer wall
[22:35] ---
    said it would take an entire day
    for a person to make a hole that big!
[22:41] ---
    He said the only
    thing that could have done it
[22:43] ---
    was that powerful and ancient beast...
[22:46] ---
    ...the Kiri Tengu!
[22:48] ---
    The Kiri Tengu?!
[22:59] ---
    Ridiculous. There's no such thing.
[23:02] ---
    Inspector!
[23:04] ---
    It really is exactly
    like two years ago.
[23:07] ---
    The two side beams
    are covered in dust,
[23:09] ---
    and there are no signs of
    anything touching them.
[23:12] ---
    A bit of dust has been
    knocked off the middle beam,
[23:15] ---
    but that's because of
    the rope tied to it.
[23:17] ---
    There are no rub marks to
    indicate he was hoisted up.
[23:20] ---
    Do you suppose
    this was a suicide too?
[23:23] ---
    Suicide?
[23:24] ---
    Yeah, you can manage
    to get up there
[23:26] ---
    if you climb across the beams
    and use rope like that officer,
[23:31] ---
    but it's a different story if you're
    trying to carry someone up there.
[23:34] ---
    The late priest Chunen and the
    head priest weren't all that small.
[23:39] ---
    Scaling the rope with them tied to
    your back would be nigh impossible.
[23:43] ---
    If you tied the noose around
    their necks and hoisted them up,
[23:46] ---
    it would leave marks on the beam.
[23:49] ---
    Someone could have climbed
    up first and then pulled them up,
[23:53] ---
    but that narrow beam is
    the only place to stand,
[23:56] ---
    so it's extremely unlikely.
[23:59] ---
    Which means they must have
    climbed the ropes themselves,
[24:02] ---
    made a noose while on the beam,
[24:05] ---
    and then jumped off with
    the noose around their necks.
[24:11] ---
    Some leftover rope and an axe
    probably used to cut it
[24:15] ---
    were found on the ground,
[24:16] ---
    so it would seem that was the case.
[24:19] ---
    But what has me wondering
    is that hole in the wall...
[24:22] ---
    ...it's exactly like last time!
[24:24] ---
    I don't know how
    they broke the wall,
[24:27] ---
    but they probably broke it and
    hanged themselves from a tall ceiling
[24:31] ---
    to make it look like that old legend.
[24:35] ---
    Almost as if to suggest to us
[24:37] ---
    that they were attacked
    by the flying Kiri Tengu.
[24:42] ---
    That ridiculous tale sends
    everyone in a panic...
[24:46] ---
    But doesn't this broken
    wall seem strange?
[24:52] ---
    There was a sliding panel here, right?
[24:54] ---
    Yeah...
[24:56] ---
    For such a big hole in the wall,
    there's almost no debris left.
[25:03] ---
    That's true...
[25:06] ---
    They probably threw them over.
[25:09] ---
    After all, these people
    did make their suicides
[25:11] ---
    look like the Kiri Tengu's doing.
[25:13] ---
    Who knows what they were thinking.
[25:16] ---
    Grandpa!
[25:18] ---
    Grandpa! Grandpa!
[25:22] ---
    Oh? Isn't she--
[25:24] ---
    The head priest's
    granddaughter, Kikuno-san.
[25:27] ---
    Grandpa! Why did this happen?!
[25:32] ---
    She cried two years ago too,
    when she saw Priest Chunen's body...
[25:38] ---
    Yes. She used to visit on
    occasion back then,
[25:43] ---
    but she suddenly stopped
    coming after the incident...
[25:46] ---
    Grandpa! Grandpa!
[25:49] ---
    Who's he?
[25:51] ---
    Kikuno-san's husband.
[25:54] ---
    They married only a few days ago.
[25:57] ---
    I hear he's the
    successor to a big temple
[26:00] ---
    and the two of them were arranged
    to be married since they were little.
[26:04] ---
    I was really shocked when I heard
    that from the head priest two years ago.
[26:09] ---
    I had always thought that she
    and Chunen-san were to be together.
[26:13] ---
    The late Chunen-san?
[26:16] ---
    Yes.
[26:17] ---
    The two were so close they
    seemed like real brother and sister.
[26:21] ---
    It must have been a
    real shock to Chunen-san
[26:23] ---
    when he heard she
    was going to be married.
[26:26] ---
    That's probably why
    he did that foolish thing...
[26:29] ---
    Maybe the head priest had been
    worrying about that this whole time--
[26:33] ---
    ...and killed himself like Chunen-san
[26:35] ---
    mere days after Kikuno-san's wedding!
[26:38] ---
    That is a possibility...
[26:40] ---
    If so, then there should be
    a will somewhere.
[26:44] ---
    Then let's all split up
    and look for it!
[26:50] ---
    Suicide?!
[26:52] ---
    Are you so sure?
[26:54] ---
    No matter how much
    it looks like the old legend,
[26:56] ---
    would anybody really hang
    themselves from a place like that?!
[27:00] ---
    And would they really
    make such a big hole on purpose?!
[27:04] ---
    What if it wasn't a suicide
[27:06] ---
    and this big hole was
    used for some sort of trick...
[27:10] ---
    This incident and the one two years
    ago were pulled off the same way.
[27:14] ---
    Meaning Chunen and the head priest
    were murdered by the same person.
[27:20] ---
    What are you doing, little boy?
[27:24] ---
    Shunen-san!
[27:26] ---
    Come to think of it, this guy said
    he came to this temple one year ago.
[27:34] ---
    I doubt he could've made that
    big hole with these scrawny arms...
[27:38] ---
    Say, you said you were up
    late last night reading a book, right?
[27:43] ---
    Yeah. I was awake
    until a little past 3:00.
[27:46] ---
    Did you notice anything
    strange during that time?
[27:50] ---
    Like anyone sneaking
    out of their room,
[27:54] ---
    or an eerie sound
    from something breaking,
[27:56] ---
    or anyone screaming?!
[27:58] ---
    No, I didn't hear anything.
[28:01] ---
    Last night was a quiet night.
[28:04] ---
    You really heard nothing?
[28:05] ---
    Nope.
[28:06] ---
    The head priest's
    room is a little ways away,
[28:08] ---
    but everyone's sleeping
    quarters are next to each other,
[28:11] ---
    so we'd know right
    away if anything happened.
[28:13] ---
    Don't tell me you're
    suspicious of everyone?
[28:17] ---
    Not really...
[28:18] ---
    Hey, Shunen!
[28:20] ---
    Stop lounging
    around and help us look!
[28:23] ---
    Oh, right!
[28:37] ---
    Alright, just a little more!
[28:40] ---
    You freaked me out when
    you started to lose your grip there!
[28:43] ---
    Sorry 'bout that!
[28:44] ---
    Hey, officers!
[28:46] ---
    That's the window
    at the top of the room
[28:48] ---
    where the head priest died, right?
[28:50] ---
    Yeah...
[28:52] ---
    You can't carry someone
    through here onto the middle beam?
[28:57] ---
    No, it'd be impossible without
    leaving marks on the beam...
[29:01] ---
    Besides, it'd be crazy
    to carry someone in there
[29:04] ---
    and try to do things on
    top of something so narrow.
[29:13] ---
    What's with this drainboard?
[29:17] ---
    The cut is warped!
[29:19] ---
    The rest are just fine, though...
[29:24] ---
    Hey, little boy!
[29:26] ---
    But the cut is old.
[29:27] ---
    It was made quite a long time ago.
[29:31] ---
    There are cherry blossom
    petals stuck to the underside...
[29:34] ---
    How?
[29:36] ---
    Conan-kun!
[29:39] ---
    Conan-kun! Where are you?
[29:43] ---
    Conan-kun!
[29:44] ---
    If you're looking for that boy,
[29:45] ---
    he asked how to get to
    the woods below the temple
[29:47] ---
    and then left.
[30:01] ---
    The only things
    missing from the scene
[30:04] ---
    were the fragments
    from that broken wall!
[30:07] ---
    If the killer threw
    them over the side,
[30:11] ---
    they would have landed
    around here somewhere!
[30:13] ---
    If I can find them,
[30:16] ---
    I might figure out the reason
    the killer had to get rid of them!
[30:19] ---
    And then the mystery
    behind the killer's trick!
[30:32] ---
    Bingo! A piece of the wood!
[30:34] ---
    This was part of that sliding panel...
[30:38] ---
    There's tape on it... What for?
[30:43] ---
    What are you doing down here?!
[30:45] ---
    Ran!
[30:47] ---
    What's with that dirty piece of wood?!
[30:49] ---
    Get rid of it!
[30:50] ---
    I can't!
[30:57] ---
    Alright! Let's call it a day!
[31:01] ---
    Yes, sir!
[31:03] ---
    Say, where's Kikuno-san?
[31:05] ---
    She went with the body
    to the police headquarters.
[31:09] ---
    But we can't seem to find his will.
[31:12] ---
    That's okay. At least
    we know it was a suicide...
[31:16] ---
    No! It was a murder!
[31:20] ---
    Something happened
    in this room last night!
[31:22] ---
    Something beyond imagination!
[31:26] ---
    The wall which was destroyed
    by an immense strength...
[31:29] ---
    The warped cut on the drainboard...
[31:31] ---
    And the dumped
    piece of wood from the wall
[31:35] ---
    and the tape that was stuck to it...
[31:38] ---
    What is the key
    that connects them all?
[31:49] ---
    A cherry blossom?
[31:53] ---
    That's it! I've figured
    out the killer's trick!
[31:57] ---
    If that's the case, then the killer must've
    spent the entire night in this room...
[32:04] ---
    Ah! So that's why he said that!
[32:08] ---
    He's the killer, no question about it!
[32:32] ---
    The impossible crime...
[32:33] ---
    ...a work of foul art created at
    the scene of the crime by a murderer.
[32:38] ---
    The piece of art exhibited this time
[32:41] ---
    was a room in a mountain temple
    where the cherry blossoms fall.
[32:43] ---
    Someone murdered
    the temple's head priest
[32:46] ---
    by tying him to an elevated
    beam and then hanging him!
[32:49] ---
    Naturally, there were no
    marks of him being pulled up.
[32:52] ---
    It seems utterly impossible for
    a human to commit this crime...
[32:55] ---
    Yes, the killer utilized a certain
    technique to float in the air!
[33:00] ---
    Just like the adroit flying Kiri Tengu!
[33:05] ---
    Some unused rope
    and an axe lay on the floor
[33:07] ---
    of the room where
    the head priest was killed.
[33:09] ---
    But the strangest thing of all
[33:11] ---
    was that although there
    was a huge hole in the wall,
[33:14] ---
    there was no debris from it.
[33:17] ---
    Then there was the
    drainboard with the warped cut,
[33:20] ---
    and the piece of
    wood from the sliding panel
[33:23] ---
    and the tape that was on it...
[33:25] ---
    What is the key
    that connects them all?
[33:33] ---
    A cherry blossom?
[33:34] ---
    That's it! I've figured
    out the killer's trick!
[33:38] ---
    If that's the case,
[33:40] ---
    then the killer must've spent
    the entire night in this room!
[33:43] ---
    Ah! So that's why he said that!
[33:47] ---
    He's the killer, no question about it!
[33:52] ---
    Please, Inspector Megure?
[33:55] ---
    Alright, alright.
[33:56] ---
    I'll take you
    home in my patrol car.
[33:59] ---
    I have to make them
    notice before everyone leaves...
[34:03] ---
    Hand over the
    keys to the rental car
[34:06] ---
    that just happened to
    get a flat tire in the forest!
[34:08] ---
    I'll have one of my
    men return it for you.
[34:11] ---
    We owe a great deal
    to your detective skills, after all.
[34:15] ---
    Thanks a bunch!
[34:18] ---
    I got the keys!
[34:20] ---
    Get back here, kid!
[34:23] ---
    Damn it, where'd that brat go?!
[34:27] ---
    No drainboards!
[34:32] ---
    Oops, he slipped
    and knocked himself out...
[34:36] ---
    Oh well.
[34:37] ---
    Now I don't have to use the
    Anesthetic Watch Gun on him!
[34:42] ---
    This button acts as
    a tiny wireless speaker.
[34:45] ---
    Whatever you say into
    your bow tie will come out of this.
[34:50] ---
    I'll just stick this here...
[34:52] ---
    Hey, little boy!
[34:54] ---
    Officer!
[34:55] ---
    You shouldn't come in
    here without permission.
[34:57] ---
    Perfect timing!
[34:58] ---
    Mori-san said he wants
    everyone to gather in the room
[35:01] ---
    where the incident happened!
[35:03] ---
    And do you have any tape?
[35:07] ---
    Tape?
[35:09] ---
    What? You know who did it?!
[35:12] ---
    Yes.
[35:13] ---
    I know who killed the head
    priest and made it look like a suicide.
[35:16] ---
    Hey, now.
[35:17] ---
    The head priest died after
    he was tied to an elevated beam
[35:21] ---
    and hanged!
[35:23] ---
    If you're saying someone set that up,
[35:26] ---
    how in the world did they do it?!
[35:29] ---
    There were no marks on the beam
    of him being pulled up, you know!
[35:34] ---
    Of course there aren't any marks.
[35:36] ---
    The killer floated directly up to
    the beam along with the head priest
[35:41] ---
    and then tied him to it!
[35:45] ---
    Floated up?!
[35:47] ---
    Don't tell me it
    was the Kiri Tengu...
[35:49] ---
    No human could
    do anything like that...
[35:52] ---
    Hear that sound?
[35:54] ---
    Yes, it's the waterfall.
[35:56] ---
    Yes. The waterfall that flows
    directly next to the top window...
[36:01] ---
    Wouldn't it be possible
    to float to the ceiling
[36:05] ---
    if you diverted the waterfall
    through the window
[36:08] ---
    and filled the entire room with water?
[36:12] ---
    Fill this entire room with water?
[36:16] ---
    You have to be kidding me.
[36:18] ---
    Both the killer and the
    victim would be sopping wet,
[36:21] ---
    but there were no signs
    of wetness on the body at all!
[36:24] ---
    An inflatable raft, Inspector.
[36:26] ---
    An inflatable raft?
[36:28] ---
    Kannen-san.
[36:29] ---
    You said there was an inflatable
    raft in the temple, correct?
[36:34] ---
    Yes.
[36:35] ---
    If the body was in the raft and covered
    with a plastic sheet or something,
[36:40] ---
    then it could have made it
    to the top without getting wet.
[36:43] ---
    But the waterfall and
    the window are too far apart!
[36:47] ---
    No matter how well things might fit,
[36:49] ---
    nobody could divert
    the water into the room...
[36:55] ---
    The drainboard.
[36:57] ---
    The killer covered the gaps in
    the drainboard with tape, flipped it over,
[37:00] ---
    and then redirected the
    waterfall through the window.
[37:03] ---
    As proof of this, the cut
    on the drainboard is warped.
[37:07] ---
    It was cut to make
    it short enough to fit...
[37:11] ---
    And there are cherry blossom
    petals stuck to the board
[37:14] ---
    in the spots where
    the tape would have been...
[37:18] ---
    The same petals that
    are carried down the waterfall
[37:21] ---
    from the trees at
    the top of the mountain.
[37:29] ---
    And it wasn't just the drainboard
    that had flower petals stuck to it.
[37:34] ---
    They should fall down
    to your feet soon, Inspector.
[37:40] ---
    The petals that got
    stuck to the side of the wall
[37:42] ---
    when the killer removed
    the water, that is!
[37:47] ---
    In other words,
    after killing the head priest,
[37:49] ---
    the killer carried
    the body into this room,
[37:51] ---
    put it into the inflatable raft,
[37:52] ---
    covered the inner doorframe with tape,
[37:56] ---
    and temporarily left the
    room through the sliding panel.
[38:01] ---
    Then the killer began
    filling the room with water
[38:03] ---
    from the 2nd floor window
    using the method I just illustrated,
[38:05] ---
    quickly returned to the 1st floor,
[38:06] ---
    entered through the sliding panel,
[38:08] ---
    and then covered it with tape too.
[38:10] ---
    Otherwise, the water
    would leak out through the panel.
[38:15] ---
    After that, while taking
    great care not to get the body wet,
[38:19] ---
    all the killer had to do
    was wait for the room to fill up.
[38:22] ---
    After the room filled up enough,
    the killer arrived at the beam,
[38:26] ---
    tied the corpse to it,
[38:28] ---
    and then escaped out the top window.
[38:32] ---
    But how did the
    killer get rid of the water?
[38:35] ---
    By breaking the
    sliding panel with the axe
[38:37] ---
    that was left at the scene of the crime.
[38:39] ---
    Yes. This room's floor
    is about 4.5 tatami in area
[38:44] ---
    and the walls are
    about 10 meters high,
[38:46] ---
    so its volume is 2.7 meters
    by 2.7 meters by 10 meters,
[38:50] ---
    or 72.9 meters cubed.
[38:53] ---
    The specific gravity of water is 1,
[38:56] ---
    so the weight of all the water in
    the filled room would be 72.9 tons.
[39:01] ---
    If you used an axe to break
    a panel at the bottom of a room
[39:04] ---
    with that much water,
[39:05] ---
    you know what would happen.
[39:08] ---
    The cracked panel would fly out under
    9.8 x 10 to the 4th Pascals of pressure!
[39:16] ---
    Under the immense
    strength of the water,
[39:18] ---
    more and more of the wall would
    erode off, creating a gaping hole!
[39:22] ---
    9.8 x 10 to the 4th Pascals?
[39:26] ---
    A huge amount of power--
    like getting run over by a truck.
[39:31] ---
    I see!
[39:32] ---
    So that's why there's no debris
    even though the hole is so big!
[39:38] ---
    Conan found a fragment of the
    wall in the woods below the temple.
[39:43] ---
    He did?
[39:45] ---
    Here you go, Inspector!
[39:49] ---
    I see.
[39:50] ---
    A piece of the sliding
    panel with tape on it.
[39:54] ---
    But who in the world
    would do such a thing?!
[39:57] ---
    It would take less than ten seconds
    for the water to exit the room,
[40:00] ---
    but filling the room,
    that's a whole different story.
[40:03] ---
    The amount of water
    entering from the drainboard
[40:05] ---
    is five to six times as
    much as through a faucet.
[40:07] ---
    If we estimate that it filled
    up 10 cubic meters per hour,
[40:11] ---
    it would take seven hours
    to completely fill this room!
[40:18] ---
    The head priest's
    estimated time of death
[40:20] ---
    was between 10:00 pm
    and 12:00 am last night.
[40:23] ---
    And it was 8:00 am when
    his body was discovered.
[40:28] ---
    Even if you deduct the
    time to set up the trick
[40:31] ---
    and the time needed to release
    the water and dry the room
[40:35] ---
    the killer must have been in this
    room between midnight and 6:00 am!
[40:42] ---
    What does that have
    to do with the killer?
[40:46] ---
    Shunen-san.
[40:48] ---
    You said you were
    reading a book in your room
[40:51] ---
    until 3:00 am last night, correct?
[40:54] ---
    If so, then you too should've
    heard a certain someone scream
[41:01] ---
    when they saw the
    Tengu mask from the bathroom!
[41:04] ---
    Who screamed?!
[41:06] ---
    Answer me!
[41:09] ---
    Shunen...
[41:10] ---
    Of course I heard Ran-san scream!
[41:16] ---
    It caught me by surprise!
[41:18] ---
    I can't blame her
    for being scared, though...
[41:21] ---
    Shunen! Did you--
[41:24] ---
    Shunen-san.
[41:25] ---
    It wasn't Ran who screamed.
[41:29] ---
    It was me!
[41:33] ---
    But it's not your
    fault you didn't hear me.
[41:37] ---
    You were in here all night,
[41:39] ---
    surrounded by the thunderous
    roar of the water, after all.
[41:42] ---
    But his testimony won't
    hold as evidence, Mori-kun!
[41:45] ---
    If it's undeniable
    proof that you want,
[41:47] ---
    then you're holding
    it right now, Inspector.
[41:50] ---
    This piece of wood?
[41:51] ---
    By wiping the room off later,
    the killer could destroy the evidence,
[41:56] ---
    but he couldn't do
    that with that piece of wood
[41:58] ---
    since it went flying off.
[42:00] ---
    Yes.
[42:01] ---
    That is the only thing
    the killer failed to recover!
[42:07] ---
    I would bet my life as a detective
[42:10] ---
    that they're still on
    the tape stuck to that board...
[42:15] ---
    Shunen-san.
    I'm referring to your fingerprints!
[42:20] ---
    But Shunen came to
    this temple a year ago!
[42:24] ---
    If this is the same trick
    as the one two years ago,
[42:26] ---
    then the same person did it!
[42:27] ---
    Shunen couldn't have done it!
[42:29] ---
    The incident two years ago
    was probably the head priest's doing,
[42:34] ---
    using the exact same trick as this time.
[42:36] ---
    The cut on the drainboard was old,
[42:39] ---
    and he was the one most
    afraid to talk about the incident.
[42:44] ---
    And if my instincts are correct,
[42:48] ---
    the late Chunen-san and
    Shunen-san were probably brothers!
[42:54] ---
    It's true.
[42:56] ---
    Chunen was my genuine blood brother.
[43:01] ---
    It was only natural
    that no one realized it...
[43:04] ---
    To hide my origin,
    I came as a priest-in-training
[43:07] ---
    after studying at a
    distantly-related temple first.
[43:11] ---
    Naturally, my purpose
    for coming to this temple
[43:13] ---
    was to find out the truth
    behind my brother's death
[43:16] ---
    and find the real culprit!
[43:19] ---
    I scoured the temple for half a year.
[43:22] ---
    I had the trick figured out,
    but I didn't know who did it.
[43:27] ---
    Nobody wanted to talk about
    the incident, you see.
[43:30] ---
    But I realized it when you
    came yesterday, Detective.
[43:35] ---
    I knew once I saw the
    head priest's strange attitude!
[43:38] ---
    Afterwards, I went to his room
    and found him drinking his night sake.
[43:44] ---
    When I pressed the issue,
    he told me about all sorts of things!
[43:46] ---
    He had no idea I was actually
    Chunen's younger brother!
[43:49] ---
    The reason he killed my brother
[43:51] ---
    was because he didn't want him
    to take his granddaughter Kikuno-san,
[43:56] ---
    who was to marry a
    successor to a big temple.
[43:59] ---
    Kikuno-san and my brother supposedly
    even agreed to elope together,
[44:04] ---
    but that doesn't matter now...
[44:07] ---
    Anyway, when I asked the head
    priest to give himself up, he--
[44:12] ---
    There's no evidence left from what
    happened two years ago anyway!
[44:18] ---
    Besides, this temple has gained
    prestige thanks to that incident!
[44:24] ---
    It's known as the temple
    where the Kiri Tengu appears!
[44:30] ---
    When he said that,
    I lost control of myself
[44:33] ---
    and strangled him to
    death with a belt in the room!
[44:38] ---
    Yes. Just like he strangled my
    brother two years ago...
[44:43] ---
    ...with him on my back,
[44:45] ---
    to leave marks to make
    it look like a hanging suicide...
[44:47] ---
    With his corpse at my feet,
    I had no other choice.
[44:52] ---
    I would have to use the
    same trick he used two years ago
[44:55] ---
    to hide the truth...
[44:59] ---
    It's too bad you didn't visit this
    temple two years ago, Detective.
[45:07] ---
    If you had, I would probably be...
[46:43] ---
    You surprise me
    every single time, Mori-kun!
[46:48] ---
    I had no idea you knew
    that much about physics!
[46:53] ---
    Yeah, like when you talked
    about Pascals or something...
[46:56] ---
    "Pascals"?
[46:58] ---
    What they mean is--
[47:00] ---
    "Paical" is Chinese alcohol...
[47:03] ---
    "Oscar" is from Takarazuka...
[47:05] ---
    "Rascal" is a kind of raccoon...
[47:07] ---
    What's a Pascal?!
[47:09] ---
    Oh, you mean that TV magazine!
[47:15] ---
    You dummy, that's "Telepal"!
[47:18] ---
    And you only got the "al" right!
[47:24] ---
    The weapon was a potted plant.
[47:27] ---
    You're always getting into trouble.
[47:29] ---
    Stop interfering with the investigation.
[47:32] ---
    The issue is
[47:34] ---
    first, Kobayashi-san, and you, ma'am.
[47:40] ---
    Looks like something hard struck it from below.
[47:44] ---
    They must be the culprit.
[47:47] ---
    The next episode of Conan is
[47:48] ---
    "The Mystery Weapon Murder!"
[47:53] ---
    Next Conan's hint!
[47:55] ---
    Bird!
[47:58] ---
    The new school term starts next episode! [I checked when this episode originally aired, and the date makes sense. It was April 7.]
[48:00] ---
    Don't be late!
[48:01] ---
