[00:00] Conan
    Invited by Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha,
[00:03] Conan
    Ran and I came to Yadori
    Village in Shizuoka Prefecture
[00:06] Conan
    to help unearth the buried
    treasure of Tokugawa.
[00:11] Conan
    However, that night...
[00:13] Heiji
    It's light outside.
[00:16] Heiji
    What's going on?
[00:19] Heiji
    There's a fire in front of the hotel!
[00:21] Both
    What?
[00:25] Heiji
    Who could've done this?
[00:27] Hajime
    I-It's the nue...
[00:30] Hajime
    The nue came in a cloud of black smoke.
[00:33] Heiji
    You idiot! There's no way
    anything like that—
[00:36] Kazuha
    H-Heiji! Look...
[00:51] Conan
    After pursuing the monster, we found...
[00:56] Conan
    Blood?
[01:03] Heiji
    That's Someji-san!
[01:05] Heiji
    Is he unconscious?
[01:07] Conan
    No, he's already dead.
[01:10] Conan
    With scratches on his back as though
    he was attacked by a wild beast.
[01:20] Conan
    Curtains rise as the headliner appears!
[01:22] Conan
    He beautifully dances his
    mystery-solving steps!
[01:25] Conan
    Is it the Nue or something else?
[01:26] Conan
    The giant scratches spur the mystery
    of the buried treasure onward.
[01:29] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:31] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:33] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend
    (Scratch Arc)
[03:16] Conan
    "Conan and Heiji's Nue
    Legend, Scratch Arc!"
[03:26] Ran
    H-He's dead?
[03:27] Ran
    Someji-san is dead?
[03:29] Kazuha
    R-Really?
[03:30] Heiji
    Yeah.
[03:32] Heiji
    We found him in the trees by
    the lake next to the hotel.
[03:36] Heiji
    He was murdered, with huge
    scratch marks on his back.
[03:40] Fumie
    What?
SIGN    Masuko Fumie (46)
    Author
[03:40] Fumie
    Th-They didn't look like
    tiger claw marks, did they?
[03:46] Conan
    No, they were bigger.
[03:50] Conan
    There were four scratches
    about ten centimeters apart.
[03:54] Fumie
    Y-You must be joking.
[03:56] Hajime
    This is no joke.
[03:59] Hajime
    It's the nue.
SIGN    Tsurumi Hajime (22)
    Documentary Writer
[04:00] Hajime
    That giant monster got him.
[04:03] Hajime
    They say the nue has the legs of a tiger.
SIGN    Tanzawa Michiki (62)
    Archaeologist
[04:07] Michiki
    I thought it was the jars, but
    the monster really does exist.
[04:11] Heiji
    What?
[04:12] Michiki
    Nothing. I was talking to myself.
[04:15] Heiji
    He thought it was...
[04:16] Conan
    ...the jars?
[04:18] Heiji
    So, did you call the police?
[04:21] Ran
    Yeah, we did.
[04:23] Kazuha
    Since we're in the mountains, they
    said they couldn't make it right away.
[04:27] Kazuha
    But I don't think the police
    can handle a monster like that.
[04:31] Conan
    Don't worry.
[04:33] Conan
    There's no way the monster's real.
[04:37] Heiji
    It must've been some kind of trick.
[04:39] Heiji
    I smell kerosene in these burns, too.
[04:42] Hajime
    But you found giant scratches
    on the body, right?
[04:46] Heiji
    Someji-san probably fled from his attacker
    after he was stabbed in the back,
[04:51] Heiji
    but he collapsed from exhaustion,
[04:53] Heiji
    and the culprit made a long
    cut over the initial wound.
[04:57] Heiji
    Then they added three more to make it
    look like he'd been attacked by the nue.
[05:02] Heiji
    The mayor who invited Someji-san here is
    probably the only one who could've done it.
[05:07] Densuke
    Oh, no.
SIGN    Takekuma Densuke (58)
    Yadori Village Mayor
[05:08] Densuke
    The truth is I was asked to
    invite everyone by a stranger.
[05:12] Densuke
    In addition to the notebook
    I showed you at dinner,
[05:14] Densuke
    I was also sent some money and a message
    stating that inviting the four of them
[05:18] Densuke
    would rekindle the legend of the buried
    treasure and revitalize the village.
[05:22] Densuke
    Also included were four
    letters addressed to them.
[05:25] Densuke
    They were guaranteed to come if I sent them.
[05:28] Densuke
    Remember the extra envelope
    in the letters I sent to you?
[05:32] Michiki
    Yeah.
[05:33] Hajime
    A letter about the cave-in sixteen years ago.
[05:37] Fumie
    You could be lying.
[05:42] Densuke
    I'm not lying.
[05:43] Densuke
    The letter even specified which
    hotel and rooms you should stay in.
[05:48] Heiji
    In any case...
[05:50] Heiji
    We'll talk once the police arrive.
[05:53] Heiji
    Until then, you'll be staying in your rooms.
[05:58] Heiji
    And I'll take anything you have that
    can make noise like your phones.
[06:02] Heiji
    Someone may have produced that eerie cry
[06:05] Heiji
    using some kind of device.
[06:08] Ran
    W-Wait a minute.
[06:10] Ran
    If everyone's rooms were specified
    like the mayor said...
[06:16] Kazuha
    Maybe there's something in the rooms.
[06:18] Ran
    Our room was used by the foreigner
[06:22] Ran
    who died in the cave-in.
[06:25] Kazuha
    I wish someone would switch rooms with us.
[06:27] Fumie
    Is that true?
[06:30] Ran
    Yes. The notebook he used to practice
    hiragana was in the desk drawer.
[06:36] Kazuha
    There were other notebooks in there, too.
[06:39] Fumie
    How interesting.
[06:41] Fumie
    I'd be willing to swap rooms with you.
[06:44] Michiki
    No.
[06:45] Michiki
    I'll stay in the room.
[06:48] Michiki
    I can't allow the women to be frightened.
[06:53] Hajime
    Then can I move to a room on the third floor?
[06:56] Heiji
    I don't mind, but don't set one
    foot outside of your rooms.
[07:00] Heiji
    If you do, I'll assume you're the murderer.
[07:05] Densuke
    I see, I see.
[07:07] Densuke
    We can see all their rooms from here.
[07:10] Densuke
    And if the monster appears again,
    we'll be able to chase it off.
[07:14] Heiji
    Why are you here, anyway?
[07:17] Heiji
    You should be staying in your room.
[07:19] Conan
    You can let us handle this.
[07:22] Densuke
    Absolutely not. I may
    have been told to do it,
[07:25] Densuke
    but I'm the one who invited everyone here.
[07:28] Densuke
    As the mayor, I must
    ensure everyone's safety.
[07:30] Heiji
    Whatever. As long as you're
    here, why don't you tell us?
[07:34] Densuke
    Tell you what?
[07:36] Heiji
    Why you invited each of them.
[07:39] Heiji
    Wasn't it written in the
    letter from the stranger?
[07:42] Densuke
    Yes.
[07:44] Densuke
    The archaeologist Tanzawa
    Michiki-san is knowledgeable
[07:47] Densuke
    about the geology of Shizuoka,
[07:50] Densuke
    and once examined this area in the past.
[07:54] Densuke
    He's excavated ruins not just in
    Shizuoka but all over the country.
[07:59] Densuke
    Until a few years ago,
[08:01] Densuke
    he was famous as a commentator
    on TV programs on ruins.
[08:05] Densuke
    Although he disappeared
    completely after some pottery
[08:08] Densuke
    he unearthed was suspected of being fake.
[08:12] Heiji
    What about the author woman?
[08:14] Densuke
    You mean you don't know who Masuko Fumie is?
[08:18] Densuke
    She's famous for her mysterious
    stories featuring monsters.
[08:22] Densuke
    As an author of such books, naturally she's
    knowledgeable about Japanese monsters.
[08:27] Densuke
    When filming TV adaptations of her work,
    she's had shooting locations changed
[08:31] Densuke
    and sets repainted because
    they didn't match her vision.
[08:35] Densuke
    Apparently she graduated from art school,
    so I can see why it's so important to her.
[08:41] Heiji
    That has nothing to do with
    Tokugawa's buried treasure.
[08:44] Densuke
    Th-The letters suggested using
    the nue to revitalize the town,
[08:48] Densuke
    if the buried treasure wouldn't work.
[08:50] Heiji
    What?
[08:51] Conan
    Yeah, but...
[08:53] Conan
    The documentary reporter isn't famous, is he?
[08:57] Densuke
    That's right.
[08:59] Densuke
    The murdered Someji Yasukatsu-san
[09:01] Densuke
    was a historian knowledgeable about
    Tokugawa's buried treasure, though.
[09:08] Densuke
    The letter simply stated
    that Tsurumi Hajime-san
[09:11] Densuke
    is a fledgling reporter who travels
    across the country for monster stories.
[09:15] Densuke
    I don't know why he was invited either.
[09:20] Heiji
    But why weren't the survivors
[09:23] Heiji
    of the cave-in invited?
[09:27] Heiji
    We would've been able to ask
    them more about the incident.
[09:30] Densuke
    A-Apparently, they all disappeared
    after the accident.
[09:36] Densuke
    We don't even know their names.
[09:38] Conan
    Then why did you invite Heiji-niichan?
[09:42] Densuke
    The letter actually requested that I invite
[09:44] Densuke
    the great detective Mori Kogoro-san,
[09:48] Densuke
    but I used some of the
    money to repair the hotel.
[09:52] Densuke
    At first I thought about inviting
    Kudo Shinichi-sama of Tokyo,
[09:56] Densuke
    but I couldn't get in touch with him, so
    I invited Hattori-sama of Osaka instead.
[10:01] Heiji
    So I'm here because the old
    man and you couldn't make it?
[10:05] Conan
    Sorry.
[10:07] Heiji
    Your letter said I could
    bring my female friends.
[10:13] Heiji
    Was that in the letter
    from the stranger, too?
[10:16] Densuke
    Yes.
[10:17] Densuke
    The letter said to invite Detective
    Mori's daughter as well.
[10:23] Densuke
    It would be better for the village's
    promotional video to have a young girl in it.
[10:28] Heiji
    That worked out, I guess.
[10:31] Conan
    Then there're the trees in front of the hotel.
[10:35] Conan
    Why is only the tree on the left
    edge different from the others?
[10:37] Densuke
    What?
[10:38] Conan
    Look. The other trees in front of
    the hotel all have pointed tops,
[10:44] Conan
    but just one of them is different.
[10:46] Densuke
    Who knows?
[10:47] Densuke
    I haven't been here in a while.
[10:53] Heiji
    What is this?
[10:55] Heiji
    There's something that looks like
    cloth on the end of this burnt stick.
[11:00] Conan
    Was this always in front of the hotel?
[11:03] Densuke
    Who knows?
[11:04] Fumie
    Hey!
[11:05] Fumie
    Keep it down.
[11:07] Densuke
    S-Sorry.
[11:09] Fumie
    I was going to take a nap
    before the police arrived,
[11:12] Fumie
    but I can't sleep through
    all the noise you're making!
[11:16] Hajime
    I don't mind.
[11:19] Hajime
    After all, I'm a talent-less reporter,
[11:22] Hajime
    who was invited along with
    all you famous people.
[11:24] Hajime
    I won't be able to write a good
    article unless I sacrifice sleep
[11:27] Hajime
    to keep my eyes and ears open.
[11:29] Hajime
    Besides, there's no telling
    when the monster will appear.
[11:39] Heiji
    It's that cry again.
[11:41] Conan
    Where's it coming from?
[11:43] Conan
    What?
[11:44] Heiji
    Where'd that fire come from?
[11:45] Conan
    I don't know. It suddenly ignited.
[11:56] Hajime
    It's the nue.
[11:57] Hajime
    The monster is back!
[12:11] Hajime
    It's the nue.
[12:12] Hajime
    The monster is back!
[12:19] Conan
    Wh-What was that scream?
[12:22] Fumie
    It sounded like Tanzawa-san
    from the room upstairs.
[12:25] Heiji
    That's the room we were
    originally staying in.
[12:28] Conan
    The left end of the third floor.
[12:30] Densuke
    Hey, wait.
[12:31] Densuke
    You won't be able to get
    in without the spare key.
[12:43] Heiji
    Hey, Tanzawa-san! What happened?
[12:45] Heiji
    Hey, Tanzawa-san!
[12:47] Densuke
    Move, please.
[12:49] Densuke
    I-I'll unlock the door.
[12:52] Heiji
    Tanzawa-san, we're coming in.
[13:00] Heiji
    It's no use. He's already dead.
[13:06] Conan
    Two red spots under his chin.
[13:10] Conan
    Was he bitten by a snake?
[13:11] Heiji
    Is that the only spare key to this room?
[13:14] Densuke
    Y-Yes.
[13:16] Conan
    Which means this is a locked room.
[13:19] Heiji
    Hey, don't tell me
[13:23] Heiji
    the nue really exists.
[13:32] Yokomizo
    Thank you for waiting, everyone.
[13:35] Yokomizo
    I'm Yokomizo Sango of the Shizuoka Police.
[13:39] Yokomizo
    According to the call we received,
    apparently you saw a giant monster.
[13:43] Yokomizo
    But now that I'm here, it's all right.
[13:45] Yokomizo
    I'll protect you from said monster.
[13:49] Heiji
    Two people are already dead, though.
[13:53] Yokomizo
    I'm sure it's some kind of trick,
[13:56] Yokomizo
    but why don't you tell us what you
    saw when you witnessed the monster?
[14:02] Kazuha
    We heard an eerie cry,
[14:06] Kazuha
    and the grass in front
    of the hotel caught fire.
[14:09] Ran
    When we went outside, from behind the wall...
[14:13] Kazuha
    ...a four-legged monster appeared.
[14:14] Ran
    It was so big, it reached
    the second-story windows.
[14:19] Yokomizo
    I see. And?
[14:21] Yokomizo
    Did you see a thin string above the monster?
[14:25] Kazuha
    We didn't see anything like that.
[14:27] Ran
    Yeah.
[14:28] Yokomizo
    I see.
[14:29] Kazuha
    Not only that, but it bit
    the sign in front of it,
[14:32] Ran
    pulled it out of the ground,
    and walked away with it.
[14:35] Yokomizo
    It pulled out the sign
    and walked away with it?
[14:38] Yokomizo
    Was that sign about thirty centimeters tall?
[14:41] Heiji
    This is the sign.
[14:42] Yokomizo
    What?
[14:43] Conan
    See? There are teeth marks on it.
[14:47] Yokomizo
    Th-They're rather large.
[14:50] Heiji
    We found this sign on the
    ground where the monster went.
[14:54] Conan
    Next to the sign was a trail
    of blood leading to the lake.
[14:58] Conan
    When we followed it,
[15:01] Heiji
    we found the body of the
    historian Someji-san.
[15:04] Conan
    With scratches on his back.
[15:08] Yokomizo
    S-Scratches? Like from a cat?
[15:12] Heiji
    These are the pictures we took of the body.
[15:15] Heiji
    See how the scratches are spaced
    about ten centimeters apart?
[15:18] Conan
    It wasn't a cat.
[15:20] Yokomizo
    Y-You're right.
[15:23] Heiji
    We told everyone to stay in their rooms
[15:25] Heiji
    until the police arrived.
[15:29] Heiji
    We took their phones so they couldn't
    produce any sounds, just in case.
[15:33] Conan
    We were keeping watch over the area
[15:37] Conan
    with the mayor where the monster appeared.
[15:41] Conan
    When we heard the cry again,
[15:44] Conan
    the grass we'd extinguished
    earlier suddenly caught fire,
[15:48] Conan
    and it kept spreading and spreading.
[15:50] Heiji
    While we were standing
    in shock, we heard the dying cry
[15:53] Heiji
    of archaeologist Tanzawa-san from
    the room on the end of the third floor.
[15:58] Heiji
    When we went to his room,
[15:59] Heiji
    we found him poisoned to
    death in a locked room.
[16:03] Conan
    This time with marks under his chin
    as though he'd been bitten by a snake.
[16:07] Kazuha
    C-Come to think of it,
[16:09] Kazuha
    we saw the monster's tail when it left.
[16:12] Ran
    Yeah.
[16:14] Ran
    It looked like a snake, right?
[16:15] Kazuha
    Yeah.
[16:17] Yokomizo
    Its tail was a snake?
[16:18] Fumie
    Officer, you've heard
    of the nue, haven't you?
[16:21] Fumie
    It has the head of a monkey,
    the body of a raccoon dog,
[16:25] Fumie
    the legs of a tiger, and its tail is a snake.
[16:28] Yokomizo
    Th-The nue?
[16:30] Hajime
    It's a legendary monster that appears with
    an eerie cry and a cloud of black smoke.
[16:35] Yokomizo
    L-Legendary?
[16:37] Hajime
    You haven't heard of it?
[16:38] Yokomizo
    Calm down, everyone.
[16:41] Yokomizo
    You make it sound as though
    the monster was resurrected.
[16:46] Yokomizo
    But there was once a monster known as the nue
[16:50] Yokomizo
    that existed in the Kurogane Forest.
[16:52] Both
    What?
[16:54] Yokomizo
    There was an eyewitness report of a nue
[16:58] Yokomizo
    sixteen years ago.
[17:00] Densuke
    Y-Yes...
[17:02] Densuke
    The foreigner on the excavation
    team was caught in a cave-in
[17:08] Densuke
    and wrote the word "nue" before he died.
[17:12] Densuke
    I've already told them about—
[17:14] Yokomizo
    See? It does exist.
[17:16] Yokomizo
    The nue's been hiding in the
    forest for sixteen years.
[17:22] Heiji
    Kudo, this guy's no different
    from that incompetent Gunma cop.
[17:27] Conan
    Yeah.
[17:28] Yokomizo
    In any case, the police will protect you.
[17:34] Yokomizo
    You should gather in a
    single room and wait there.
[17:38] Yokomizo
    I will contact my superiors to ask
[17:42] Yokomizo
    if we can mobilize the self-defense force.
[17:44] Heiji
    Seriously?!
[17:46] Densuke
    Anyway, I thought it was going
    to rain, but it hasn't yet.
[17:50] Conan
    What? Why?
[17:52] Densuke
    The second time the grass caught
    fire, a raindrop fell on my cheek.
[17:58] Densuke
    I thought I heard
[18:00] Densuke
    the sound of a carbonated
    beverage being opened, too.
[18:05] Heiji
    A carbonated beverage?
[18:06] Fumie
    It wasn't me.
[18:09] Fumie
    I did request white wine and soda water
[18:12] Fumie
    so I could mix them,
[18:15] Fumie
    but if I'd poured it from my window,
[18:18] Fumie
    the mayor wouldn't have been
    the only one who got wet.
[18:22] Fumie
    Besides, unlike him, I have more class
    than to drink on the window sill.
[18:27] Hajime
    Sorry I'm so low-class.
[18:29] Hajime
    I was abandoned by my
    parents when I was a kid.
[18:32] Hajime
    I wasn't raised properly.
[18:35] Hajime
    The water wasn't mine either.
[18:38] Hajime
    Even if I shook my cola as hard as I could,
[18:41] Hajime
    it wouldn't have reached the mayor.
[18:44] Conan
    Heiji-niichan.
[18:45] Heiji
    Huh?
[18:47] Conan
    Look.
[18:50] Conan
    There are small round white
    objects all over the grass.
[18:54] Heiji
    If this is what I think it is,
[18:58] Heiji
    then even without matches or a lighter...
[19:01] Conan
    ...they could've started a fire.
[19:03] Heiji
    Which leaves the trick
    behind the giant monster...
[19:08] Conan
    ...and poisoning in the locked room.
[19:13] Heiji
    Let's start with the locked room.
[19:15] Heiji
    The victim Tanzawa-san moved
    into the third floor room
[19:19] Heiji
    we were originally staying in, right?
[19:22] Conan
    Yeah.
[19:23] Conan
    Based on the positions of their rooms,
[19:26] Conan
    Masuko-san in the room directly
    below his is the most suspicious.
[19:28] Conan
    When Tanzawa-san was surprised by the fire
    and stuck his head out of the window,
[19:32] Conan
    she could've thrust a long stick with
    poisoned needles on the end upwards.
[19:37] Conan
    For some reason only one side of
    the window in that room would open,
[19:41] Conan
    so she could've predicted
    where he'd stick his head out.
[19:45] Heiji
    But when we collected Masuko-san's phone,
[19:49] Heiji
    we examined the room
[19:52] Heiji
    and didn't find any sticks.
[19:55] Conan
    Yeah.
[19:56] Conan
    The only objects of interest in the room
[19:59] Conan
    were the two one liter bottles of soda water,
[20:03] Conan
    one bottle of white wine, one glass, and the
    sommelier knife she requested from the mayor.
[20:08] Conan
    Inside Masuko-san's bag were writing
    implements like ball point pens,
[20:12] Conan
    paper tape, a sewing set, and a notebook.
[20:17] Heiji
    What about the documentary writer?
[20:20] Heiji
    When Tanzawa-san moved into our room,
[20:23] Heiji
    he moved right next door to the
    third floor room on the end.
[20:27] Heiji
    Maybe only one side of
    Tanzawa-san's window opened
[20:31] Heiji
    so it wouldn't block him from shooting
    a poisoned blow dart at him.
[20:37] Conan
    But Tsurumi-san and Tanzawa-san's
    windows were ten meters apart
[20:42] Conan
    with one window between them.
[20:46] Conan
    Plus he couldn't pierce the
    bottom of his chin from the side.
[20:49] Conan
    And Tsurumi-san didn't have blow darts.
[20:53] Heiji
    Yeah.
[20:54] Heiji
    In his room we found
[20:57] Heiji
    three 500 milliliter bottles of cola,
[21:01] Heiji
    two bags of potato chips,
[21:03] Heiji
    a folding knife, a selfie stick,
    cigarettes and a lighter,
[21:08] Heiji
    and the plastic model he said
    he bought to pass the time.
[21:12] Heiji
    He even bought glue.
[21:16] Conan
    He didn't have anything that he
    could've used to poison someone.
[21:21] Heiji
    Which leaves the mayor.
[21:24] Conan
    All he had was a deck brush.
[21:30] Heiji
    What are you doing over there?
[21:32] Heiji
    The police told you to stay inside the room.
[21:35] Kazuha
    Yeah, but we're worried about the dog.
[21:39] Ran
    When the nue's cry sounded earlier,
[21:42] Ran
    we heard him barking and
    scratching at the wall.
[21:46] Kazuha
    We thought he was hungry
    and wanted to get out,
[21:50] Kazuha
    so we made him dinner in the
    kitchen and brought it to him.
[21:53] Ran
    But he won't eat.
[21:56] Conan
    Come to think of it, when we
    first heard the nue's cry...
[22:00] Heiji
    He was barking then, too.
[22:03] Conan
    But when the monster appeared...
[22:06] Heiji
    ...he wasn't barking.
[22:09] Conan
    I see.
[22:11] Heiji
    So that's how it is.
[22:14] Conan
    And the only one who could've done it...
[22:17] Heiji
    ...was that person.
