Director
Mitsumasa SAITO

Aokigahara Forest
at the base of Mt. Fuji.

What's the matter?

What are you doing?

You better try, too.
You're gaining weight.

You know him?

He was in the paper quite
a bit recently

as a suspect in the
Tengin-do murder case.

An ex-baron.

Viscount Tsubaki.

Viscount?

He committed suicide after
his innocence was proven.

Why did he do it?

How much do you know
about the incident?

Just what I read
in the newspaper.

I see.
You need to know more.

You have something up
your sleeve. What is it?

Listen. On the morning
of October 15th last year,

Iguchi visited the Tengin-do
jewelry store in the Ginza.

The store manager believed Iguchi

since he was from the
Imperial Household Office.

Certainly, Sir.

The girls brought tea
when they were talking.

He showed some medicine
saying that

he got it from the military
as a vitamin supplement.

About 20 minutes after,
a clerk came to call the manager.

Potassium cyanide.

Do you believe in resurrection?

Mr. Tsubaki's widow went
to the theater three days ago.

She saw her dead husband
at the theater.

She must have been mistaken.

The widow and other people
who were with her saw him.

She was so frightened, that she's
going to see a fortune-teller today.

I'm Mineko.

Well, hello.

Without telling my family,
I asked Capt. Todoroki

to introduce a private
investigator to me.

We're all nervous.

About a year ago, my father...

He died, didn't he?

Yes.

When he was found in
Aokigahara Forest,

he had been dead
for about three months.

Ten days ago,
I laid him to rest with my uncle.

But...

I found a note left
by my father only recently.

Look at this.

This was put between
leaves of my book.

Devil
Flute

"Mineko, I can't take any more
of this insult. That's devil!"

I read it over and over again.

Devil...
Such a word is rarely used.

I think he meant the one
who squealed to the police.

Squealed?

He told me the night he was
released from the police.

Someone reported that there
was a culprit in this case.

Mr. Kindaichi, what does that
letter mean?

Shino.

You said you saw
my father at the theater, too.

Shino has been attending
to Mom since her childhood.

Forty years.

It's been forty years since
I started serving her.

She's a nice woman... really.

Dinner is ready.

This is Otane.

You also saw my father
at the theater, didn't you?

Who noticed him first?

Kikue did.

After the play was over,

the madam, Shino, Kikue
and I came out to the corridor.

Kikue was shocked to see
him coming down the stairs.

When she was about to call him,
he slipped away in the crowd.

Didn't you chase him?

No.

Why not?

Because the madam fainted.

The madam is here.

Mother!

This is Mr. Kindaichi.

How do you do?

How do you do?
I'm Kindaichi.

I'm Akiko.
Nice to meet you.

My Lady, take your time.

Thank you.

Stop smoking, Brother.

That's a strange smell.

Don't drink sake.

No, I won't.

I mean it. Got it?

Hasn't Mega arrived yet?

He'll be here soon.

You must be Mr. Kindaichi.

Yes.

Mineko told me about you.

I'm Akiko's uncle, Tamamushi.

It's a worthless gathering,
but it may ease her mind.

I want you to keep
company with us.

How about a drink?

No, thank you.
I don't drink at all.

That's strange for a young
man like you.

Shall we?

Shino, what do you think?

Is Mr. Tsubaki still alive?

Mr. Mega is here.
Gather in the atelier.

The electricity is cut off
from 6:30PM to 7:00PM.

He said it'd be better.

Otane!

Did you find it?

Yes, I did.

Good.

Kikue, let's join them, shall we?

No! No!

My Lady!

My husband has returned.
No! No!

Upstairs!

This room?

This is the late
Mr. Tsubaki's room.

Where's the switch?

On the left inside.

It's some mischief.
Tell them not to worry.

Yes.

Was it mischief?

Someone must have plugged
it in when the power was out.

May I ask you something?

Yes. About me?
I'm Tamamushi's mistress.

No...

What I want to ask you
is about the flame drum.

Why were they so frightened
when they saw it?

Do you know something?

I don't know.

Mother suddenly felt ill.
Will you come again?

Oh...

What's wrong?

My hat...

Where has it gone?

Otane... Otane...

Did you see Mr. Kindaichi's hat?

My hat is gone.

Your hat?

I know.

Where is it?

Right here.

How does that happen?

Let me try.

It's hooked.

Let me try.

I'm sorry.

How terrible...
How could you...?

You can't find this hat anywhere.

Be quiet!

Sorry, Papa. I shouldn't
have left you alone.

I better go now.

Your shoes...

Don't bother.

Good night.

Hi, Mr. Detective!

Cut it out.

Why? You're the best
private investigator I know.

Look at this sashimi.
It's a rare thing.

This came from Choshi.

You didn't get caught
by the police...

I'm smart...
anyway, eat this.

Sorry. I just had French
cuisine. I'm full.

French cuisine?

Yes.

Where did you eat it at?

At ex-nobleman Tamamushi's place.

Kimimaru Tamamushi?

Do you know him?

I heard his name before.
I'm just a black marketer.

Tell me anything you know
about him.

Wise guy. That's why I'm
one of your fans.

I like your facetious way.

He was a viscount,

an advisor of the privy
council, during the war.

He was quite a boss.

Legally speaking, he was
a war criminal suspect,

but he's as smart as I am.

He must be in the money.

I don't think he is.

He may be in debt, but may
also have a lot of jewels.

Jewels...

He has a lot of jewels.

The Tsubakis.

Strange people.

Father...

Mr. Kindaichi.

Mr. Kindaichi!

Phone call for you.

Tell them I'm not here.

From the police, OK?

From the police?

You should say so first.

This way.
Wake up!

Hello. Mr. Todoroki?
What's going on?

Murder?

Is this the weapon?

No.

Strangulation with a scarf
was the direct cause.

Look at this.

The victim was apparently
hit with a Buddhist statue.

There's an indication
that he had a bloody nose.

But the victim's face is clean.

The blood was wiped up with this.

Who did it?
The criminal?

Did he wipe the blood from
the face and strangled him?

Don't be angry at me.

Did Tamamushi wipe it up by himself?

Nonsense!

He could have called his
family instead.

The room isn't damaged.

The criminal couldn't get out here.

What?

This murder was done
behind a closed door.

A closed door?

I'm going to your alibis
after Mr. Kindaichi left

here last night until the time
the body was found.

Mr. Shingu?

Ask my wife.

He was playing cards with Kikue
and drank some sake.

The trouble occurred when
he was going to bed.

Mr. Mega, you were with
your wife, weren't you?

Exactly. I was in her room.

Would you like some?

No, thank you.

Miss, you were reading
a book in your room.

Yes.

And you?

I finished cleaning
the kitchen at 11:30 PM.

then went to my room.

I did the same.

I finished putting things
away right at about 11PM.

I was chatting with
my sister in the room.

Just a minute.

Didn't you clean up the atelier?

It was lit.
I thought he was there.

You didn't call him.

Why not?

Well...
That is...

When he was in a bad
mood it had to be me.

It'd have been horrible
if anyone else did.

After Mr. Kindaichi left,
it was bad.

I should have taken him out.
He kept on drinking.

After playing cards, I had
a drink and dozed off.

When I woke up, he wasn't
there, so I was startled.

It's 1AM already.

You might catch a cold.

Open the door.

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

It's bolted.

It's bolted?

What's the matter?

What are you doing?

Mr. Tamamushi is lying in the room.

What's the racket?

What about him?

He's laid down inside.

The door is bolted.
Help me.

What a fuss!

What?
I'll be right over.

The door wasn't opened
when I got there.

I recognized he was dead
at first glance.

I told everyone not to touch
him and I called the police.

What do you say, Captain?

Are you treating us as suspects?

If the crime is done by us,

we should have planned
this together.

That's unthinkable even
for you, isn't it?

Captain!

In the dug-out?

It was shoved in the far
end of it. It might be...

Check up on the Tengin-do.

I lied that I was reading a book.

In fact...

I know. I know.

You didn't want to say...

It had nothing to do
with this case, right?

Darling!

What a face.

Detectives' movements
are somewhat unusual.

Was it this one?

It looks different from
the one I saw last night.

That can't be.
That's the only one left.

You had another...?

It was paired with the
"Wind God statue,"

but it's been missing.

It was probably the sneaky
thief's doing.

When did it disappear?

I'm not sure when.

You don't know when?

I want to borrow him
for a minute, OK?

You're a famous private
investigator, aren't you?

No... I'm not like that.

You don't have to hide...

I'm very sad that Tamamushi died.

I've been taking care of
him for four years.

It'd be miserable if
I got nothing for it.

Why don't you talk to his
family about that?

Shingu is mean. The
madam acts very naive... so

Do you see what I mean?

Is she Mr. Mega's date?

You're a great private investigator.

Everyone knows about
their relationship.

Really?

Yes.

From the time Mr. Tsubaki
was still alive...

Oh, you're all here!

I was told a man
who looks like Tsubaki

was in the garden just before
Tamamushi was killed.

Did anyone see the man?

This is a serious question.

False testimony would be
an infringement of criminal law.

I saw him.

Just a minute before
the trouble occurred...

I happened to come out
of the restroom.

I was washing my hands.

She lost consciousness.

Tsubaki is alive.

I'm Akiko.
How do you do?

Very strange.

How could they...?

Akiko's brother and his
wife... Mishima...

I've been taking care of
them for forty years.

Mr. Kindaichi.

How are you?
In good condition?

Yes, Ma'am.

By the way...

Yes?

Your guest...
Please come in.

Hello. Thanks for coming.
Please...

It's nice of you to come here.
It's dusty. Just wait.

I haven't cleaned here
for about two years.

Is something wrong?

I guessed wrong about
my father's suicide note.

I found this book when I
was cleaning in the library.

The note was between
leaves like this.

It occurred to me that...

Yes...?

My dairy says...

on October 13th, I finished reading...

"Wilhelm Meistel" this morning.

I put the book back
in the library room at night.

It's strange, isn't it?

Why?

The Tengin-do incident
occurred on Oct. 15th.

Was it Oct. 15th for sure?

I put this book back on Oct. 13th.

Two days before...

Why should he leave his
note in the library?

Your father could have put
it between the leaves

before you put the book
back in the library on 13th.

But then... this book
was left lying on my desk.

You made a great
discovery indeed.

What does this all mean?

The Tengin-do incident was thought
to be the cause of Mr. Tsubaki's death.

However, his note was written
two days before his death.

His suicide has no connection
to Tengin-do incident.

What was the cause?

I don't know...

Devil.

The devil's crest.

Hello. Huh?

I got it.

More evidence in the shop there?
Go to Nakaya.

You, too. Ishii.

Tamura! Nevermind.
Get going.

Did you check up on the note?

Tsubaki's suicide note.
That's a camouflaged paper.

You think Tsubaki's alive.

Some material evidence
was revealed.

The shop owners testified that
Tsubaki was the pawnbroker.

Someone squealed to you
about Tsubaki, right?

A man phoned us.

He didn't give his name, did he?

No, he didn't.

One more thing...

What kind of alibi did
Tsubaki have anyway?

That's what I don't
understand exactly.

Tsubaki was at Suma on Oct. 15th.

Suma?

Suma is in Hyogo.

What for?

He went there for his own
personal reasons.

He confessed about it after
being cross-examined.

There might be a woman behind it.

It may possibly be another man.

I'll have someone check on it.

You will?

By the way...

Miss Tsubaki asked me to investigate
on this case formally.

What's wrong?

That floor is closed so not
everyone can get in here.

Please come in.

Beautiful plants...
Who collects them?

The late Mr. Tsubaki
started this as a hobby.

It's profitable now.

The wives of the US
military buy them.

They have money and
pay the full price.

Are you a relative of Mr. Tsubaki?

No, I'm not.

I'm from Manchuria.

My late father was under
Mr. Tsubaki during the war.

We were repatriated.

My sister and I became
resident helpers here.

What are you reading?

Wilhelm Meistel.
It's a difficult book.

Miss Tsubaki praises you.

Her family couldn't have
made it without your help.

Sweet potatoes are
her favorite, right?

She doesn't look like
she likes such a thing...

Do you go to buy them
for her often?

You went into Chiba for
shopping on Oct. 15th.

She wrote it in her dairy, so...

She expected you to bring
some potatoes home,

but you didn't.

She has attractive eyes.
Her eyes...

Where in Chiba did you go?

As a matter of fact, you
didn't go there that day.

I didn't go to Chiba.

Where did you go?

Promise me not to tell
anyone about this.

I promise.

I went to Suma with
Mr. Tsubaki that day.

You were there, too.

Why did he go there?

I don't know.

You don't know?

He's like a child in every way.
He needs a partner for his trip.

He insisted on my company.

Were you with him all the way?

No, after I made the
arrangement for his ticket,

I returned to Tokyo alone.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry. I was forbidden to
mention it by Mr. Tsubaki.

You should have told us
if that was the case.

I'm sorry.

Now I understand your
circumstances. See you later.

Mr. Kindaichi.

I want to go to Suma.

Take me there.

You got them already?

I'll get you some more if you want.

All of us don't need to go there...

All right. Should any
trouble occur, contact me.

This room is so dirty.

No problem.

What's this?

My drawers.

They stink.

I washed them.
That's an important book.

A chance likeness.

What?

I know a guy who closely
resembles this one.

What's his name?

He's a stranger
in the black market.

I want to know his name
and whereabouts.

I'll be back in a few days.
Check up on him by then.

Suma

Mr. Tsubaki stayed here.

As he intended?

No, but he took fancy
in this inn's feature.

It's a good inn, really.

Welcome, gentlemen!

Please come in.

You were unable to
get a seat in the train?

That must have been tiring
for you. Please relax.

We'll get a fire going.
The bath is ready.

The bath?

Let's take a bath anyway.

This looks good on you.
Shall we?

I won't.

Why not?

I'm a little feverish.

That's too bad.
My drawers are in it.

Say you're sorry or something.

Mr. Kindaichi!

You are...?

I'm Yamashita from
the criminal section.

Now I get it.

Mr. Todoroki sent you
here for a check-up.

Did I splash water?

What?!

Why didn't you say
he was here first?

You made us waste time and labor.

Be more lenient.
I'll explain to Mr. Todoroki.

Don't be so angry.

I'm not angry.

Did you find out where
he went after he left here?

He left here in the morning
of the 16th

and came back at night.

What he did during the day
is still unknown.

Didn't he go to the late
Tsubaki's villa?

Villa?

It was completely burned down.

Let's go see anyway.

He seems to have lived
in a grand style.

I never thought it would
fall into ruins like this.

He used to take me here
when I was a child.

I always waited for the
summer vacation to come.

Cherry flowers bloomed
beautifully right here.

Mr. Kindaichi.

Here. Here.

My father's writing.

The devil was born here.

He left early on the 15th...
Early morning...

Mr. Kindaichi.

I'm sorry.
You're still up?

I have a bad habit of
speaking to myself.

May I go home with that
detective tomorrow?

The 1st Buddhist mass
for the dead is to be held.

You're a busy man.
Do as you will.

What's your schedule?

I want to locate Tatsugoro,
the father of the pregnant woman

that the landlady mentioned.

I see.

I'm glad to have met you.

Let's go to bed anyway.

Father, what had really happened?

In 1926?

Our workman
Tatsugoro's daughter had

gotten pregnant at
the Tamamushi Villa.

Pregnant?

His daughter, Taeko, was
a good-natured girl.

She gave birth to a boy.

Tatsugoro has been better
off since then.

He was boasting that he
found a supplier of funds.

He said that he could get as
much money as he wanted

with just a phone call.

Do you know
Tatsugoro's whereabouts?

He was killed in an air-raid.

What about Taeko and her child?

I don't know.

She'd be 40 if she was alive today.

Her son would be 24 or so.

I wonder where they are now.

The family broke up
because of the war.

Otama may know something.

Otama?

Tatsugoro had a mistress in Kobe.

She was a hopeless woman.

They had a girl and
named her Sayoko.

They may know something.

Someone ran into Otama at Fukuhara.

Who told you?

Mineko.

I understand how you feel.

It was a depressing story.

I want to go see Otama, but
Fukuhara is a dubious place.

I'll go with you no matter
where it may be.

Take me there.

I want to find out the truth from her.

Tatsugoro's money source
was Sayoko, not Haruo.

Sayoko is your child
by Tatsugoro, right?

No. Tatsugoro adopted
her from Tamamushi.

Tamamushi?

That's right.

Who are Sayoko's real parents?

How should I know?

He was some guy.

He wanted to keep
the money to himself.

Where is Sayoko?

I don't know. She left us
and went to Taeko's.

Taeko has a son named Haruo, right?

She left us and didn't come back.

The war started... and
we hadn't heard from her.

Now I remember...

I ran into Taeko
about 6 months ago.

I was surprised.
She shaved her head.

Was she a nun?

Yes. She said she named
herself Myokai or something.

Do you know her address?

I don't know.

She's an outsider.

Don't you really know?

No, I don't.
No, I don't.

Another glass.

The suicide note was put
between these papers.

Haruo's mother is Myokai.
Who is his father?

Sayoko isn't Otama's real child.

Who could be her parents?

Hello.

May I come in?

Why not? Please.

Detective Yamashita
returned to Tokyo already.

He told me you're not
a detective.

No, I'm not.
Is anything the matter?

I can tell you something I know.

We buy rice, sugar, and etc.
on the black market...

so the police are taboo.

I know.

Do you know something
about Tsubaki?

Please tell me. I'll promise
not to trouble you.

OK then, Mr. Tsubaki was a
queer guy from the beginning.

He was cast down all through.

He looked like a person
some shadowy past.

He suddenly called me one night.

He held out a lot of money
and asked me

to take him to Awajishima Island.

A lot of money?
Awajishima Island?

Did he go there?

Yes. I asked a fisherman
to take him to the island.

May I see him?

Sure.
He is a nice young man.

Is he your date?

I'm too old.

Ask him to take me to
the island, will you?

Don't tell the young lady
in the next room about this.

She went out a minute ago.

She did?

Take me somewhere.
Any place will do.

Some far away place
where nobody goes.

Please...

Calm down.
Calm down.

I hate men.

They make women have babies
and settle it with money.

They're dirty.

They're all dirty!

Dirty blood runs in my veins.

You're wrong.

Dirty blood runs in my veins, too.

Do me a favor.

Please go back to Tokyo.

Tokyo?

And you?

I will...
But...

You'll go somewhere else first?

Where are you going?

I can't tell you.

Where?

I'm sorry.

What would you do if
I said I wouldn't go back?

I'll quit this job.

Please do as I tell you.

I beg you.
Go back to Tokyo.

Please do so.

Alright.

I'm glad.

Shall I scrape this off?

Thank you.

What did he say?

Please pick me up
when it gets dark.

I said I would.
He said nothing more.

I was singing a song.
I'm good at singing...

I hear you.
You sing well...

but work properly.

You're a coward.

What was he like when
you went to meet him?

He was really gloomy.

He was waiting.

He was deadly pale...
as if he saw a ghost.

He smelled like burning incense.

Just a minute.

He was deadly pale...
He was a queer guy...

He made my blood run cold.

Awajishima Island

Tokyo

Nice hodgepodge!

Hearsay from the PX.
75 yen for 10 dozen.

8,000 in all.

Nonsense!
8,200 yen.

It's a bargain.

OK. I'll buy them.

Hey, Mister!

Who is he?

He's Iio.

He wanted to sell me some
platinum a minute ago.

I want to know his address.

He's still digging.
What's the big idea?

Does he think he'll
dig up some diamonds?

You do nothing but read books.

Wilhelm Meister?

Sorry, sorry.

I'm in the dumps.

How can you bear this?

I have no place to go.

Why not become a geisha?
I'll train you.

You'll be popular with your beauty.

Welcome home.

Hello.
What do you have?

Potatoes again?

It's been two years since
Myokai settled in here.

She got sick while making
a pilgrimage through this island.

I took her over and gave
her a grave keeper job.

She always says she is
a sinful woman.

She recites a sutra all day.

Myokai must have a son named Haruo.

You know about her past life?

Rumor says that Tamamushi
got Myokai pregnant

and Haruo was born.

But I'm not convinced.

Haruo's real father is
Tamamushi's nephew...

Shingu?

That's the name.
Shingu is the father.

Ask Myokai if you want
to know more about that.

I want to warn you...
don't stimulate her nerves.

It was four or five days ago...

My son Haruo is a murderer.

How could he do such a thing?

I shouldn't have told him the truth.

Viscount Tamamushi is killed

She's been chanting the sutra
like mad all day.

It was only yesterday when
she cooled off.

She is late.
What happened to her?

Reverend!

A prisoner is here.

Please go.
I'll wait for her.

What about the Suma line?

The line is busy.

Do something.

Hurry up.

20 years ago? Did he want
to dig up such old facts?

Yes, Suma.

Captain!

Who?
Kindaichi Kosuke.

He went back to Tokyo?

That's enough.

I'm home.

Isn't anyone here?

Otane.

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

You came home early.

Is anything the matter here?

No. Why?

I'm glad.

I gave up checking in halfway.

It's very strange.

Not my class affairs.
Bow then...

Someone telegraphed Mega
Kikue Shino, and me.

Something is fishy.

Isn't it unusual?

Yes.

I shouldn't have come home so early.

Now that I'm relieved, I got hungry.

What are these?

I got them a minute ago.
They look nice.

May I have some?

What are you doing?

I want to have some melon
with my mother.

Now.
Go away.

Now.
Go away.
Why?

Why?

That's better.
I insist...

You sound strange.

What would you say?
I'm better than Mega.

I love you. I wouldn't let
Mega devour your flesh.

Your ripe, your pretty flesh
is too good for him.

Get rid of him.
To hell with this land.

He was killed yesterday.

He resembles Tsubaki.

Captain.

As we suspected...

Damn it.
Don't just stand there.

This beats me all together.

The Tengin-do incident's
culprit must be...

Mineko. Mineko.
Where are you?

You scared me.

Did you receive a phony
telegram, too?

Where is Mrs. Tsubaki?

Please get out.

I haven't been here for many years.

Please get out.

Mineko. You may
not understand, but...

There are worms in my body.

Some thousands of them...

They're always moving around.

I asked Papa to get rid of them.

But he couldn't..

He was a fine man but too gentle.

He was weak in every way.

Stop that.

Stop that!

I've been trying to like you,
but you're disappointing me.

Stop that.

Mineko.
I wanted to talk to you...

But you liked Papa
more than me. Much more.

I'll be at the Kamakura villa from today.

That'll be better for you.

I'm here to say good-bye.

Good luck.

Shino, when did you come here?

Papa has come back.
Look there.

Notes of flute, you see?
Papa has come back.

What's that?

Hello!

Did you hear about the Tengin-do case?

Yes, on the radio.

Look here.
His crest has fallen.

Mr. Kindaichi is here.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

I should've caught the guy.
I'm sorry.

Forget it.

What's the remedy?

Your work went well, didn't it?

It went well.
Everything is over.

Are you OK?

I can't help drinking.

Hello.

Yes, he's just returned.

He is here.
Yes.

It's Mr. Todoroki.

Hello.
The rain delayed the train.

Murder again?
Who was killed?

Shingu or Tsubaki?

This portable phonograph
was in the corner.

The record was playing when
the switch was turned on.

The offender should have
been among those

who were in the wing.

who were in the wing.
Maybe... Maybe not...

Maybe... Maybe not...

This is controlled
independently by this switch,

when the main needle is
on the mark.

This is Capt. Todoroki.

You were in charge this morning?

You can identify the person
who sent this, can't you?

I thought it was strange,
because he sent telegrams

to four different people
at one address.

Among these people?

This man. No doubt.

This man...

Right.

Just a moment.
OK.

You're late.
That's a Suma inn's...

Where are his relatives?

In the wing.

Mrs. Tsubaki?

She's staying in her Kamakura villa.

Kamakura?

She went into hysterics so
Todoroki permitted her.

Yes? I'm sorry.

It's raining so hard.

Mishima and his sister
accompanied her.

Yes. Mrs. Tsubaki complained that

she'd be lonely without
them, so they followed her.

I see.

Anything?

Nothing.

Look here!

This is the weapon.
The bottom is cut off.

What was the culprit's intention?

Now I got it.
That's what happened.

Tell Mr. Todoroki to
come to the atelier.

They gathered in the atelier.
The crime is solved...

Aren't you glad?

What for?

The crime is solved.

I'm glad... because
my husband was killed.

Does this look the same
as the scene that day?

Isn't this rather elaborated?
What's going on?

This is it.
I didn't see through.

This Wind God statue was
in this room that night.

It was a carved one that night.

When the electric power
was cut off, the offender

performed the lighting trick this way.

I see. The outer frame
fits just right.

This statue was then said to
have been missing.

Where was it then?

That night I put my hat here
and forgot it.

The statue was hidden
already in this vase.

Anyhow...

The offender had to replace
this statue with the other one.

Nobody was supposed to be in.

Who is it?

Tamamushi saw the Thunder
God statue in his hand.

He learned the whole trick.

It was you who committed the murder.

But... He didn't kill Tamamushi.

He felt the danger of being
caught if he did it then.

What's more...
he had to kill Shingu later.

The offender suspected that
the old man would be there.

But the victim was beaten
and bled from the nose.

He didn't call for help.

He couldn't.

Why?

He should have held his
breath at the offender's words.

What?

Why you... Why you...

I got you.

I think the victim was staring...

The offender changed the Thunder God
with the Wind God quietly.

He heard the noise of the bar
and he thought he had to kill the man.

Otherwise, he'd be killed later.

Oh yeah?

Come over here.
This is important.

Important?

What is it?

Anyway, come on.

You actually approached me this way.

The offender must have
talked to Tamamushi...

Having been shocked by
the words, the victim...

What do you want?

The victim happened to wear
a scarf. The game was over.

The offender thrust him
away forcefully.

The victim got hit
on the back of his head.

Who did that...?

Mr. Kindaichi.

Who is it?

Can't you tell us?

Mr. Kindaichi.

Please tell them.

Mineko.

Please tell them.
I read the book again.

I know why my father
told me to read it.

Tell the police how sinful
my family is.

Stop it.

It's too late to hide...

Mineko.

I heard about the Tengin-do
incident on the radio.

How did you see it was all
done by Mishima?

How?

Because I saw...

That's better.

Otane didn't want me to
see my mother's plight.

She is my sister.

Please help me.

My sister, Mishima...

I think we know...
We'll go to Kamakura.

Come with us.

I grasped the real situation...

I read this book, "Wilhelm Meister."

Wilhelm Meister?

Brother and sister...
Love each other and

become unhappy.

Brother and sister?

Totaro and Otane are the same way.

Why?

Why should I die?

Because...

You gave birth to me.

Are you my daughter?

In 1926, you got pregnant
when you were 16.

Who is my father?

Why can't you tell me?

I'll tell you...

It's Shingu.

He is your brother.

I almost went mad when
I learned about it.

Haruo saved me.

He was in love with me.

But... we can't...

Shingu was my father, too.

You don't understand...

Love is strong.

We're not suppose to
love each other...

You don't know...

It's a lie.

It's the proof.
I didn't know, either.

I knew Sayoko was Tsubaki's daughter.

Shingu was unthinkable.

If I knew this, before you
loved Sayoko, I would...

No! No!

Sayoko is my girl.
I won't let her go.

I was all wrong.
I'm guilty.

Blame me...

Please break up...

I don't want to be away from you.

Sayoko.

No! No!

Sayoko.

It's cruel that we can't love.

We tried to separate many
times, but we couldn't...

I was pregnant.

But I couldn't bear a child.

I want a child.
But it's no use.

Let me die.
Let me die.

We've got to live.
Live through.

We'll take revenge.

We'll take revenge on those who
planted the devil's crest on our bodies.

I feel like I've been waiting
for this day since I was born.

Captain!

Get in the house.

Nobody's in this room.

Not in here, either.

I'm sorry I have done
the Tsubaki's wrong.

Please give this flute to Miss Tsubaki.

Certainly.

I wonder what my mother
is doing on Awajishima Island.

I met her.
She's doing fine.

Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me
who the real killer is?

I'm not the police.

There are things that can't
be judged by the laws alone

in the working of the human
world, aren't there?

Why are you so worried about me?

I'm OK.

I'm not so weak.

I'm glad to hear that.

You are young, pretty and smart.

You're a flatterer.

Good. You're smiling.
I've never seen you smile.

Hurry, Mr. Kindaichi,
or you'll miss your boat.

Are you going to Kyushu?

I was?

Thanks for warning me.

You can go back alone?

Of course, I can.

Great.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.
Good-bye.
