**[00:07] Jumonji**
What did you say?
**[00:08] Jumonji**
The police won't arrive
until tomorrow morning or later?
**[00:15] Toto**
There really is only one way in or out.
**[00:18] Toto**
I thought maybe there'd be something
like a hidden door behind the lights,
**[00:22] Toto**
but I guess that was too much to hope for.
**[00:26] Toto**
A bullet hole!
**[00:28] Toto**
There's one in this light, too!
**[00:31] Toto**
The room lights have all
been shot out with a gun.
**[00:34] Toto**
All of them have been hit dead center.
**[00:37] Toto**
This isn't something that Ron could've done!
**[00:39] Toto**
The culprit was in the dome here,
shooting bullet after bullet...
**[00:44] Toto**
Huh? But we only heard the one gunshot.
**[00:49] Toto**
Whatever the case, I have to make sure
the local police investigate thoroughly.
**[01:02] Toto**
Now, then...
**[01:04] Toto**
Excuse me.
**[01:08] Toto**
It's no good! I can't do it like Ron does!
**[01:12] Toto**
If only there were security cameras in here.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Jumonji**
It automatically tracks
the position and records...
**[01:19] Toto**
That's it.
**[01:21] Toto**
There's one thing that was
recording during the crime.
**[01:24] Toto**
And I've found it!
**[01:25] Toto**
Maybe it's recorded an important clue!
**[01:30] Toto**
I just know I'll be able to
prove Ron's innocence!
**[01:42] Toto**
This is...

**[03:26] John**
Isshiki-kun? I mistook you for an intruder.
**[03:29] Toto**
Grizzly-san?
**[03:30] Toto**
Why do you have a ladder?
**[03:32] John**
I came to inspect the inside of this dome,
but it looks like you beat me to it.
**[03:36] Toto**
Is there something more you need to look into?
**[03:38] John**
I'm gathering evidence to incontrovertibly
prove Kamonohashi Ron's guilt.
**[03:43] John**
This time, he must be sentenced to death.
**[03:47] Toto; internal**
*We've got one heck of an enemy here.*
**[03:50] John**
I'm sure you've come for the opposite reason.
**[03:54] Toto**
What?
**[03:56] John**
I've already interviewed everyone.
Would you like the results?
**[03:58] Toto**
Huh? Yes.
**[04:00] Toto; internal**
*And he's ahead of me!*
**[04:03] John**
According to several people's testimonies,
the last time Onodera-san was seen was 11 PM.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Onodera**
I'm going back to my room to pick up
some photography equipment.
**[04:12] John**
That is what she is reported to have said.
**[04:14] John**
Thinking back on it now, the weather
was set to deteriorate during the night,
**[04:18] John**
so it seems odd that she wouldn't
have set up her equipment earlier.
**[04:22] Toto**
That's true.
**[04:23] John**
Given the state of the body,
**[04:25] John**
it's clear that the shot heard at 1 AM
is the one which killed her.
**[04:29] John**
I've asked everyone for
their alibis up to that time.
**[04:33] John**
Jumonji-shi headed briefly
to his office at 11:30 PM,
**[04:37] John**
but he had returned to the roof by midnight.
**[04:40] (Flashback) Jumonji**
I'd forgotten my stargazing notebook.
**[04:43] John**
Donzawa-shi was on the roof the whole time,
besides one trip to the restroom at midnight.
**[04:48] John**
When the gunshot was heard at 1 AM,
**[04:50] John**
both he and Jumonji-shi were
on the roof. I saw them, too.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Donzawa**
Going to the restroom is a
biological imperative, is it not?
**[04:58] John**
Unno-san was in the kitchen
from 11 PM to 1 AM.
**[05:03] John**
When the gunshot was heard,
she was talking with Orihime-san,
**[05:07] John**
who had gone to fetch drinks.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Unno**
I was simmering stew the whole time.
**[05:13] John**
Orihime-san started livestreaming
from within the observatory at midnight.
**[05:18] John**
When the stream ended at around 12:40 AM,
she went to the kitchen.
**[05:21] John**
At 1 AM, she and Unno-san were together when
they noticed the commotion over the gunshot.
**[05:26] (Flashback) Orihime**
We heard everyone screaming, so we
thought something must have happened.
**[05:30] John**
You were on the roof with me
the whole time, weren't you?
**[05:33] Toto**
Yes.
**[05:34] John**
However, Kamonohashi Ron returned
to his room to sleep at 10:30 PM,
**[05:39] John**
and was not seen after that.
**[05:43] John**
Which means, at the moment
the gunshot was heard,
**[05:46] John**
everyone but Kamonohashi Ron has an alibi.
**[05:56] Toto**
Even so, I believe in Ron.
**[05:59] Toto**
The real culprit must be someone else!
**[06:03] John**
Why have you never once suspected
that Kamonohashi Ron could be the culprit?
**[06:08] Toto**
Because he isn't the kind of guy
who would do this!
**[06:11] John**
That isn't logical.
**[06:13] Toto**
I'm not the logical one. That's Ron's field!
**[06:18] John**
The way you speak of Kamonohashi Ron
from such a close perspective...
**[06:23] John**
I've never seen it before.
**[06:25] John**
Who exactly are you to him?
**[06:28] Toto**
He's...
**[06:31] Toto**
Ron is... my friend.
**[06:36] John**
It seems he's changed a lot.
**[06:38] John**
Not just on the outside,
but on the inside, too.
**[06:41] Toto**
What?
**[06:42] John**
In the past, Kamonohashi Ron
showed no weakness,
**[06:45] John**
and no one could get close to him.
**[06:47] John**
A friend who would trust him against all logic
**[06:50] John**
is one thing I thought he'd never have.
**[06:53] Toto**
I see.
**[06:54] Toto; internal**
*That's what Ron was like?*
**[06:57] John**
That aside, have you discovered anything?
**[07:01] Toto**
Huh? Oh. Yes!
**[07:03] Toto**
All the lights in this room
have been shot out and destroyed.
**[07:06] Toto**
I found bullet holes in the walls
where they were installed.
**[07:10] Toto**
And I was looking to see if the telescope
had recorded anything of the incident.
**[07:15] John**
The telescope wouldn't record
what was going on inside the dome.
**[07:18] John**
Was there anything in the footage?
**[07:20] Toto**
Well, it turned on at 11 PM,
but it was completely black until 1 AM.
**[07:26] Toto**
And from 1 AM, the only thing
recorded is the North Star.
**[07:29] Toto**
That corresponds with the time of the dome
opening and the gunshot being heard.
**[07:34] Toto**
It doesn't look like it's recorded
anything relevant to the crime.
**[07:38] John**
The room lights were destroyed using a gun,
**[07:40] John**
and from 11 PM to 1 AM,
the dome was completely dark...
**[07:46] John**
Of course! So that was it!
**[07:48] John**
How could I have been so careless?
**[07:51] Toto**
Grizzly-san?
**[07:54] John**
Give this to Kamonohashi-kun!
**[07:56] John**
And tell him everything you told me just now!
**[07:59] Toto**
This is... the key to Ron's handcuffs?
**[08:02] Toto**
That means...
**[08:03] John**
Kamonohashi-kun isn't the culprit!
**[08:06] Toto**
R-Really?
**[08:08] John**
There's no time to celebrate.
**[08:09] John**
We must catch the true culprit
as quickly as possible!
**[08:12] Toto**
Huh? Right! Yes, sir!
**[08:13] John**
Keep your guard up. No help is coming.
**[08:16] John**
The police are currently
delayed by the typhoon.
**[08:18] John**
Which means this island has become
a closed circle situation.
**[08:22] Toto**
What?
**[08:23] John**
If this is connected to the
incident from ten years ago,
**[08:27] John**
then we can't eliminate the possibility
that further killings will happen.
**[08:33] Ron**
You've done very well, Toto.
**[08:34] Ron**
Thanks to you, my innocence has been proven.
**[08:38] Toto**
But how? Explain it to me.
**[08:41] Ron**
Oh, sure.
**[08:43] Ron**
But do you mind if I mix in some singing?
**[08:45] Ron**
Kamo, kamo, kamo...
**[08:45] Toto**
I'd prefer it unmixed!
**[08:47] Ron**
Very well.
**[08:48] Toto**
Lift the corners of your mouth!
**[08:52] Ron**
First, the telescope recording showed that
the dome was dark from 11 PM to 1 AM, right?
**[09:01] Ron**
Accurately shooting multiple lights
in a darkened dome is impossible.
***SIGN*** Pitch black
***SIGN*** Shooting impossible
**[09:08] Ron**
Which means that the lights must have been
shot either before 11 PM, or after 1 AM.
**[09:14] Ron**
There are seven lights, but at 1 AM
only one shot was heard,
**[09:18] Ron**
so it must have happened before 11 PM.
**[09:21] Ron**
Which means that there were already shards
from the lights on the dome floor at 11 PM.
**[09:28] Ron**
Now, I was found bare-footed.
**[09:31] Ron**
If I had walked in there like that,
in the darkness, unable to see anything,
**[09:34] Ron**
the soles of my feet would be...
**[09:37] Toto**
Covered in blood and cuts from those shards!
**[09:40] Ron**
But they were completely unscathed.
**[09:42] Ron**
Which means that after 11 PM,
when the lights went out,
**[09:44] Ron**
I couldn't have taken even a
single step from where I was.
**[09:47] Ron**
Now, it's easy to assume that Onodera-kun
was killed by the shot heard at 1 AM,
**[09:54] Ron**
but between myself and her
stood a huge telescope
**[09:58] Ron**
large enough to hide us from each other.
**[10:00] Ron**
How could I have shot her from
the far side of that telescope
**[10:04] Ron**
when I couldn't move one step
at the time of the crime?
**[10:07] Toto**
I get it! From that position,
you couldn't have shot her!
**[10:11] Ron**
Thank you again, Toto.
**[10:13] Ron**
Thanks to your stunning investigation,
my brain is now working at two percent!
**[10:19] Toto**
Still only two percent?!
**[10:21] Ron**
Now, then...
**[10:23] Ron**
Here comes the fun part!
**[10:24] Toto**
Um, what part?
**[10:26] Ron**
The severe sleepiness that came
over me after dinner...
**[10:29] Ron**
That was due to sleeping medication
in my black sugar syrup meal.
**[10:32] Toto**
Then the culprit is the chef, Unno-san?
**[10:35] Ron**
No. There was ample opportunity
for any of them to drug my meal.
**[10:39] Toto**
Then who did it?
**[10:41] Ron**
Let's set that aside for the moment.
My fun comes first.
**[10:44] Toto**
What's this "fun" you keep talking about?
**[10:47] Ron**
I'm going to go drink some
sleeping-medicine-less syrup!
**[10:50] Toto**
Are those sparkles where your eyes are?
**[10:52] Ron**
Black sugar syrup, syrup!
**[10:54] Toto**
Don't you have more
important things to be doing?
**[10:56] Ron**
And I'll do them, of course!
**[11:03] John; internal**
* If Kamonohashi Ron isn't the culprit,*
* then who did it? And how?*
**[11:11] John**
This is fishing line.
**[11:23] Ron**
I'm so glad I bought ten kilos of syrup
and set it aside just in case!
**[11:26] Toto**
That's not an amount you buy "just in case"!
**[11:29] Ron**
Thanks to this, my brain is back
to one hundred percent.
**[11:32] Toto**
Ninety-eight percent of your brain
is powered by syrup?!
**[11:35] Toto**
Syrup aside, we need
to be catching the real killer!
**[11:38] Ron**
That's why we've come back
to my room, isn't it?
**[11:41] Toto**
What?
**[11:42] Ron**
While I was drugged, the culprit must
have carried me from this room to the dome.
**[11:46] Ron**
So I thought there might have been
some evidence of that left here.
**[11:50] Toto**
I see. And did you find anything?
**[11:53] Ron**
No. Everything's been completely wiped clean.
**[11:56] Ron**
But from the manner of their work,
I'm beginning to see.
**[12:00] Ron**
The culprit prepared
very carefully for this murder.
**[12:04] Ron**
It wasn't a haphazard crime of opportunity.
**[12:07] Toto**
Then you mean you were targeted
from the very beginning?
**[12:10] Ron**
It's certainly possible.
**[12:12] Ron**
Did Grizzly-sensei say anything else?
**[12:15] Toto**
Anything else?
**[12:17] Toto**
Oh, he said he wanted to give you
a proper apology later.
**[12:20] Ron**
That's the kind of person he is.
**[12:23] Ron**
You can see why I acknowledge him, can't you?
**[12:25] Toto**
He's got a scary face,
but he's a good person.
**[12:28] Toto**
Oh, right. He said he wants to reinvestigate
your Bloody Training Incident, Ron.
**[12:34] Toto**
Hey!
**[12:35] Ron**
That's something you should have told me
while my brain was still frozen.
**[12:38] Ron**
The excitement is too much for me right now!
**[12:40] Toto**
Okay, I get it! Please stop that!
**[12:42] Ron**
I wish I *could* stop!
**[12:47] Toto**
Huh?
**[12:54] Toto**
Ron...
**[12:55] Ron**
Yes. I saw.
**[13:01] Ron**
Hurry, Toto!
**[13:14] John**
K-Kamonohashi Ron...
**[13:19] John**
I-It's a trap...
**[13:23] Ron**
Grizzly-sensei!
**[13:25] Ron**
Sensei!
**[13:36] Ron**
He's dead.
**[13:39] Toto**
No way...
**[13:50] Ron**
Grizzly-sensei...
**[13:55] Toto; internal**
*Ron...*
**[13:57] Ron**
An instructor from BLUE has been killed.
**[14:00] Ron**
Do you understand what this means?
**[14:02] Toto**
Huh?
**[14:03] Ron**
BLUE is the world's
foremost detective agency.
**[14:07] Ron**
For their star
closed circle theory instructor,
**[14:09] Ron**
Grizzly-sensei, to meet such a fate...
**[14:13] Ron**
Our adversary must be formidable indeed.
**[14:17] Ron**
Excuse me.
**[14:20] Ron**
Sensei, I promise I will avenge you.
**[14:24] Toto**
Yes. That's right. That's right, Ron.
**[14:27] Toto**
The two of us will catch the culprit!
**[14:31] Ron**
I'm going to start my deductions now, Sensei.
**[14:35] Ron**
He's only just passed away.
**[14:36] Ron**
His clothes show no sign of a struggle,
so he was shot from a distance,
**[14:39] Ron**
or perhaps taken unawares,
and fell immediately following that.
**[14:50] Ron**
Fishing line.
**[14:51] Toto**
Fishing line?
**[14:52] Jumonji**
Isshiki-san!
**[14:55] Donzawa**
We heard a gunshot!
**[14:57] Donzawa**
Grizzly-san?
**[14:59] Donzawa**
Don't tell me he's...
**[15:00] Toto**
Yes. He has passed away.
**[15:02] Jumonji**
B-But that's...
**[15:05] Jumonji**
Kamonohashi-san?
**[15:06] Donzawa**
But you're supposed to be
handcuffed and locked up!
**[15:08] Donzawa**
I see! He must have...
**[15:10] Toto**
You have it wrong! And it wasn't Ron
who shot Onodera-san either!
**[15:14] Toto**
It will take a long time to explain, but...
**[15:17] Ron**
Stand back, Toto.
**[15:18] Ron**
I'll explain it in thirty seconds.
**[15:20] Toto**
That quickly?
**[15:24] Toto; internal**
*He's just talking really fast?!*
**[15:30] Toto**
A gun, assumed to have been the same one used
to shoot Onodera-san, was found on the roof.
**[15:35] Toto**
The culprit seems to have taken it from
Grizzly-san, who had taken custody of it.
**[15:39] Unno**
This isn't funny! Another murder?
**[15:42] Orihime**
Grizzly-san, too?
**[15:44] Toto**
To get a clear picture of the situation,
I'd like to go over everyone's alibis.
**[15:49] Toto**
Jumonji-san was resting in his office.
**[15:51] Toto**
When he heard the gunshot,
he rushed out in a panic.
**[15:55] Toto**
Donzawa-san was in the first-floor restroom
when he heard the gunshot
**[15:59] Toto**
and joined up with Jumonji-san in the lobby.
**[16:02] Toto**
Unno-san was asleep with earplugs in.
**[16:05] Toto**
Orihime-san was using earphones
to check the sound on her livestream,
**[16:09] Toto**
so she didn't notice.
**[16:11] Toto**
Which means that no one has an alibi,
and anyone could have killed Grizzly-san.
**[16:17] Unno**
So someone here could be a heartless murderer.
**[16:21] Orihime**
I'm scared!
**[16:22] Unno**
You're a suspect, too!
**[16:24] Donzawa**
To be cut off from the police
in such a perilous situation...
**[16:29] Donzawa**
The way things are going, the tragedy
of ten years ago will repeat itself!
**[16:35] Donzawa**
This island really is cursed!
**[16:38] Donzawa**
All of us are going to be found as corpses!
**[16:41] Ron**
That won't happen.
**[16:44] Ron**
Despite how he appears,
Detective Isshiki is enraged.
**[16:48] Ron**
He loves mysteries more than anyone,
and he's good at solving them.
**[16:52] Ron**
But he fell into this trap, and two people
have been killed right in front of him—
**[16:56] Ron**
one of them a great sleuth
worthy of his utmost respect.
**[17:00] Ron**
The culprit is here, blending in
with you in your fright.
**[17:03] Ron**
Beneath their mask, twisted with false fear,
they must be smiling with triumph.
**[17:09] Ron**
But they'll regret that.
**[17:13] Ron**
You have angered someone
whom you never should have.
**[17:22] Ron**
Let's reinvestigate, starting with
the initial locked-room murder.
**[17:25] Toto**
Yeah. We came here after hearing a gunshot.
**[17:29] Toto**
But the doors were locked.
**[17:31] Toto**
Then Grizzly-san, Jumonji-san,
and I all slammed our bodies into it.
**[17:35] Toto**
We broke the lock and went inside.
**[17:43] Ron**
Toto, how do you think the culprit
turned this dome into a locked room?
**[17:47] Ron**
The only master key was in my pocket,
and I was locked inside.
**[17:52] Ron**
How could the culprit have locked the door?
**[17:57] Toto**
Maybe using some kind of tool?
**[18:00] Toto**
The fishing line!
**[18:01] Ron**
How would they use it?
**[18:03] Toto**
By running it down from the gap
at the top of the door,
**[18:06] Toto**
attaching it to the key,
and turning it from outside!
**[18:09] Ron**
Wrong!
**[18:10] Toto**
Wrong?
**[18:11] Toto**
Really? But I hardly ever
get to make deductions.
**[18:15] Ron**
You did your best, Toto.
**[18:17] Ron**
But look closely at the door.
**[18:19] Ron**
How would the fishing line fit through?
**[18:21] Toto**
Huh?
**[18:25] Toto**
There's adhesive on the side of the door!
**[18:28] Toto**
With that there, not even the thinnest
fishing line could get through.
**[18:31] Toto**
With the lock and the glue,
it's a doubly locked room!
**[18:34] Toto**
But why would they glue it
on top of locking it?
**[18:38] Ron**
This is getting interesting.
**[18:40] Ron**
Our adversary truly is formidable.
**[18:43] Ron**
But if they weren't this resilient,
then they wouldn't be worth defeating.
**[18:47] Toto; internal**
*He looks happy. This is the usual Ron.*
**[18:50] Toto; internal**
*This is Kamonohashi Ron!*
**[18:52] Ron**
Don't just stand there. What happened
after you broke down the door?
**[18:56] Toto**
R-Right.
**[18:58] Toto**
When the three of us entered
the dome, it was pitch black.
**[19:02] Toto**
Unno-san brought out flashlights
almost immediately,
**[19:04] Toto**
and when we used them to light the way,
you and Onodera-san were...
**[19:09] Ron**
Excuse me.
**[19:10] Toto**
See? You're not listening!
**[19:12] Ron**
Onodera-kun,
**[19:14] Ron**
as I thought, in this location,
you were blocked by the telescope.
**[19:17] Ron**
You couldn't see me, could you?
**[19:20] Ron**
The only thing in line of sight is the vent,
**[19:22] Ron**
but no one could have entered
or exited through there.
**[19:25] Ron**
Toto, please turn out all the lights.
**[19:27] Toto**
It'll be pitch black.
**[19:29] Ron**
That's fine.
**[19:30] Toto**
I'm turning them off!
**[19:42] Toto; internal**
*My eyes are adjusting.*
**[19:44] Toto; internal**
*That's...*
**[19:46] Toto; internal**
*the switch for the room lights, maybe?*
**[19:49] Toto; internal**
* And that's... the switch to*
* open and close the dome.*
**[19:54] Toto**
So Onodera-san collapsed in front
of the switch to open the dome?
**[20:01] Toto**
That's right! Right before we heard
the shot, the dome opened.
**[20:06] Toto**
Did Onodera-san hit the switch
and then get shot right after?
**[20:10] Toto**
But even if the dome was open, the culprit
couldn't have escaped through the ceiling!
**[20:14] Toto**
Plus, everyone had alibis for that time!
**[20:18] Toto**
The dome was a perfect locked room!
No one could have killed her in there!
**[20:22] Toto**
Maybe this one is too tough
even for you, Ron!
**[20:27] Toto**
Ron? I'm turning the lights back on.
**[20:29] Ron**
Wait!
**[20:31] Ron**
That was the perfect difficulty level for me.
**[20:34] Toto**
A pitch-black hula hooping challenge?!
**[20:36] Toto**
So even you've thrown in the towel on this
and have nothing left to do but spin a ring?
**[20:42] Ron**
What are you talking about, Toto?
Look more closely.
**[20:46] Ron**
As I was setting up my hula hoop,
the fishing line got caught on it.
**[20:51] Toto**
That's an important clue!
Don't spin it along with your hoop!
**[20:53] Ron**
Haven't you realized yet, Toto?
This is the key to solving the mystery.
**[20:57] Toto**
What?
**[20:58] Ron**
I've solved the mystery of the locked room.
**[21:01] Toto**
What?
**[21:02] Ron**
All that's left is to find the culprit.
**[21:04] Toto**
The culpr—
**[21:08] Orihime**
So you were in here after all,
Detective Isshiki!
**[21:11] Toto**
Orihime-san.
**[21:12] Orihime**
I got worried that the typhoon
might cause a power outage.
**[21:16] Orihime**
So I thought I'd ask and see if there
were any flashlights you weren't using.
**[21:20] Toto**
Wouldn't Unno-san know?
**[21:22] Orihime**
Yes, I asked Unno-san just now, star,
**[21:27] Orihime**
but she seems very sensitive at the moment.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Unno**
Everyone's making me take
flashlights all over the place!
**[21:32] (Flashback) Unno**
This is the third time now!
Find one yourself!
**[21:35] Toto**
I see. I can picture her being angry.
**[21:39] Ron**
Flashlights?
**[21:42] Ron**
It's no wonder you're the idol
of the Orion constellation.
**[21:46] Ron**
It represents a great hunter
in Greek mythology.
**[21:48] Ron**
And just like Orion,
**[21:50] Ron**
you've hunted down this mystery for us.
**[21:53] Orihime**
Pardon?
**[21:54] Toto**
You're not making sense, Ron.
**[21:56] Ron**
We have all the pieces now,
thanks to Orihime-kun.
**[21:59] Toto**
Does that mean you know who did it?
**[22:02] Ron**
Sorry to have kept you waiting,
Detective Isshiki.
**[22:05] Ron**
It's your turn now.
**[22:07] Ron**
Let's launch our counterattack.
