In the church's secret chamber, laid a snow white wedding dress soaked in blood, a headless corpse.

In the cross-shaped area of Ijikan village, people are continuously murdered.

Who is it? For what reason are they killing them?

Is it these mutilated mummies?

Or...?

The Case Files of Young Kindaichi Western-style Residence Village Murder Case

My name is Kindaichi Hajime

The famous Kindaichi Kousuke

is my grandfather.

However, I don't have enough confidence to go to a private high school.

That's why, I'm attending grade 10 in a public high school.

Good, a lot of progress so far.

Now, let's have Nanase read.

Yes.

Hajime-chan,

what are you doing?

It really stinks.

Of course, it's natto (a traditional Japanese dish made of fermented soybeans).

Then you should eat it at home.

I had no choice, I was running late.

Ah, do you want some?

Definitely not!

With this type of guy sitting beside me,

I'll start crying soon.

Really?

Does it taste good, Kindaichi?

Teacher, if you don't mind, please have some.

That natto is really tasty.

Where is it?

What?

Over there.

What are you doing?

Wakaba.

Father?

You have return with me immediately to the village,

in order to get married!

Why?

Why is that so?

I don't know who enthusiastically sent this to me.

You're doing this sort of thing in Tokyo?

Shame on you!

No! I don't want to return to the village.

You always doing the marriage decision on your own!

You'll understand later on.

How come...

Please wait.

Please listen to me.

Teacher!

Miss.

Let me go!

Hajime-chan, help stopping it.

Aren't you the grandson of Kindaichi Kousuke?

That's right, go!

Hey, you guys stop making trouble.

If you guys are going to take her, I, Kindaichi Hajime...

No, let me go!

Hajime-chan!

Kindaichi-kun!

Hajime-chan!

Miyuki?

You really know how to sleep.

Ah, teacher?

So what's going on?

We have to go rescue Wakaba.

Huh?

If we don't do anything,

Wakaba would be marrying a man she has never seen before.

That's very pitiful. However...

Sorry, Kindaichi.

Please help me.

She's in trouble because of me.

If only I had paid attention...

Anyway, I really do love her.

Ah.

If you don't want to, then just say so.

Oy, if you let me out here, how am I going to make it back?

Well in that case, then just be quiet and follow us.

Ah, this really is a cross shaped village.

Excuse me, do you know where Tokita Wakaba's house is?

That building with a clock.

This cross-shaped area has four Western-style residences.

Tokita Zyuuzou's house has a clock as a emblem.

Kazamatsuri Atsuya's home is adorned by a weather vane.

Fuyuki Mitsuko's home is a white building.

My father, Kabuto Reiji's home has a suit of armor as the emblem.

These four families in this cross-shaped area are the reason for its prosperity.

Oh, so Wakaba is the eldest daughter from a prominent family.

It is for that reason that she cannot refuse to marry.

Huh?

Oi,

This isn't a good idea, right?

The wedding ceremony is tomorrow.

We must make a move before then.

That's true, but..

That's the owner of the weather vane building, Kazamatsuri Atsuya.

The white building's Fuyuki Mitsuko.

That's the armor building's Kabuto Reiji.

How did you know?

Look at the badges on them.

They resemble the symbols in the village.

Oh, so it's like that.

Welcome everyone!

Thank you for interrupting your busy schedules for my daughter, Wakaba.

Thank you so much.

No problem, no problem.

Very happy to receive your invitation, very grateful.

Congratulations on your daughter's wedding.

Thank you.

The preparations are almost done.

This way please.

Shoot, let's go!

God, that hurts.

Don't shout!

Over here!

There's no head!

Who's there?

What are you doing here?

We were going to...

Mr. Tokita, I beg of you,

stop Miss Wakaba's wedding.

What nonsense are you saying?

You are here to celebrate our wedding.

Wakaba!

Father,

I won't run away,

as promised, let's have to ceremony tonight.

Wakaba,

does it really okay?

Yes.

Everyone, please enjoy the wedding banquet.

Wakaba!

Today, we have gathered here so many distinguished guests.

Let's follow the traditional rituals and

go to the church for the wedding ceremony

Everyone, please enjoy yourselves.

Cheers!

Cheers! Cheers!

It's definitely just like Mr. Tokita,

to let his lovely only daughter,

marry the son of a prominent family in the village.

The Tokita Family's prosperity is related to the whole village's prosperity.

That's totally a forced marriage

Don't you think it's too much, Hajime-chan...?

Hey...!

What? Don't be shy, just eat quickly.

You don't get these opportunities often.

Oh wow, there's roasted chicken!

It's going to burn, the church is going to burn.

The church is going to burn?

It hurts, it hurts!

Let's go

Where are we going?

To save Wakaba!

Huh?

How?

Er, excuse me but, why must the bride has stay overnight at the church?

That's because when the church was built, that old practice was established.

The night before the marriage, the new bride must cleanse her previous sins.

There will be a young girl who stands guard outside the church.

The bride will be locked in the church for the entire night alone.

She'll lay upon a previously prepared bed and close her eyes,

Continuously praying for the cleansing of her soul.

Is that part of ceremony?

No,

in this village,

the only rings,

during a funeral.

This doesn't look right.

Where's the girl that's supposed to stand guard?

Kiriko, Kiriko?

wakaba, open the door.

Kiriko?

That's strange.

Oh god, there's blood, there's blood!

Kiriko, Kiriko!

Think of something!

It's not possible, it's locked from the inside, we can't get in.

Damn!

Wakaba, open the door!

Wakaba!!

Everyone, move away!

Come on!

Wakaba!

There's no head.

NO!

Wakaba!

"The Bride's head, the fifth mummy took it away."

Wakaba!

Sir, sir, be strong!

Sir! Sir!

Wakaba!

Isn't this the crow feather that adorned Kiriko's head?

That's right. it IS Kiriko's!

How is Kiriko? How is Kiriko?

Everyone's looking for Miss Kiriko.

Constable, over there.

Mukai, what is that?

Ah, who's going to save me?

Oh? It's that idiot Kindaichi.

Right, it's him.

What are you doing? Come down quickly.

I can't move, can't move.

Mukai, what's the estimated time of the crime?

Approximately between the hours of 10.00pm to 12:00am.

By looking at how the blood is flowing,

it appears the victim was killed first then beheaded later.

Is that so?

Officer, I beg you, find the suspect.

Please, you must find Wakaba's murderer.

Right, Of course we'll try our best.

Officer, there's no doubt the victim is Wakaba, right?

Fingerprints, blood type, DNA all prove that without a doubt.

You should have more faith in the Japanese Police, you rascal.

Ah, forget it.

Everyone, were all of you with the victim's father, Tokita Zyuuzou,

at the wedding banquet when the murder took place?

Yes, that's right.

Then, that means everyone has an alibi.

Right.

And also, the fifth mummy mentioned on the card,

does anyone know what that's about?

Officer, forget about that.

Isn't Kabuto Kiriko worthy of suspicion?

What did you say?

Kabuto Kiriko?

It's the girl who was guarding her.

She's been missing since last night, isn't that strange?

You're saying my daughter is a suspect?

The crow feather beside the bed IS the proof.

What is this?

That's her ornament.

Oh I see.

She dropped it while killing Tokita Wakaba.

Constable, the suspect is known, it's Kabuto Kiriko!

I'm telling you, Mukai...

It must be her!

Before we arrived, this church was totally locked up, right?

So what?

You're wondering how the suspect is able to escape?

That's right.

We should contemplate this discrepancy first.

You're absolutely right.

The police will figure out this problem.

Kindaichi-kun, you don't have to worry about it.

Mr. Kazamatsuri, do you know Wakaba's house has a headless mummy?

Huh? Yes, of course I know.

Since ancient times, that mummy has been the guardian of this village.

Guardian?

In this village, including my own, the four families each have one, the church also has one.

In total, there's five mummies.

Five mummies?

Each mummy has either a head, arm, or other body part missing.

The right shoulder and left arm are missing.

Ah, it's you.

What's up?

You can't enter.

Rascal, don't come in here.

"Revenge isn't over yet." The fifth mummy.

Again?

Heroin, is it...

Officer, I think there should be a mummy in this house.

Please let me see it.

This one's missing the right arm.

so it IS related to the mummies.

Who would do such a thing?

The people who were present that day will all be killed.

Stop uttering nonsense!

You'll be killed too!

Who? Who?

Who in the world is it?

What is the fifth mummy?

Kindaichi-kun,

I'm counting on your strength. You must find a way...

For Wakaba's sake.

The small window on the roof is only big enough to fit a head.

The locks were all bolted.

Hmm, how did the suspect escape?

Danger!

"Stop meddling in affairs that don't concern you. If you don't heed these words, your lives will be at stake." The fifth mummy.

Just give up.

I can't have you guys risking danger any longer.

This is quite intriguing.

I will accept this challenge,

upon Grandfather's name!

The bottom half is missing.

What are you thinking, Hajime-chan?

Mr. Kazamatsuri said these mummies have been the village's guardians since ancient times.

Yes.

Hey, over there.

Where is he going?

Stop, Mr. Tokita.

This is the workshop where drugs are made.

I was interested in what you said, therefore, I researched anything I could find on this village.

That includes the mummies in your village.

There's a few mummies that have evidence of fillings in their teeth.

That's really strange.

These people from ancient times, why would they have fillings?

Can you explain that?

It was roughly about 10 years ago,

there was a foreign couple in the village.

They were churchmen.

They were very poor when they arrived.

They had some followers who got along with them quite well.

However, they could no longer handle poverty,

so they started to manufacture heroin and secretly sold it.

The business included four villagers.

Those were the owners of the four Western-style buildings.

That's right.

However, twenty seven years ago the pastor suddenly suggested drug production be stopped.

At that time, the couple adopted five daugthers.

As a result, the couple didn't want to pass the sins onto their children.

The couple also said, if we don't agree, they would go inform the police.

Afterwards, one day...

No, stop, stop! That's enough, no more!

The couple were murdered by us.

Then we locked and bound the remaining five daughters in the church.

It was thus that I used these hands to burn those helpless girls to death.

Are you okay?

Take a look at me.

This scar is from the fire.

Hearing the pitiful cries of the girls, I suddenly couldn't move.

In the church where we repented our sins,

five girls were burned to death and became mummies.

However, the mummies looked like each of them were missing a part,

as if it was the curse of a demon.

At that time, the mummy's bodies were missing parts?

We all took one mummy each back to our homes.

Why would you do that?

So we wouldn't betray each other.

As well, these innocent mummies will protect us.

Afterwards, we repaired the church as if nothing happened and continued to live out our days.

We all still wanted to continue with the workshop.

We still wanted to use it.

However...

Are you okay? Hang in there!

Wakaba....

please forgive me....

I understand, the truth behind the fifth mummy.

Really?

We all didn't see the missing body part of the fifth mummy inside the church.

I surmise, the mummy inside the church, is made up of the missing body parts of the other four mummies.

Huh?

So are you trying to say, there should be one less mummy

Out of the five girls, one of them was able to escape?

Correct.

Then, that girl is the fifth mummy?

She's taking revenge against the people who murdered her family.

Should be the neck or arm that'll show evidence of being cut.

There isn't.

How can that be?

There isn't a cut anywhere.

Then my hypothesis is wrong?

Kiriko, where did you go?

Are you really capable of murder?

Kiriko?!

Kiriko!

"This is the second one, there isn't enough blood." The fifth mummy.

Kabuto Kiriko's estimated time of death should be two days before between 10pm to 12am?

Right

It's very close to the time as Tokita Wakaba met her demise.

According to the message, after the suspect murdered Tokita Wakaba,

he immediately killed the second person, Kabuto Kiriko.

Could it be the same as the mummy in this house that the bottom half of the body was cut off?

No.

There's a cut right across from the right shoulder to the left armpit.

Therefore, the head has been also removed.

What?

Isn't it strange?

Until now, the mutilations have been similar to the mummies, but how come this time, it's different?

If you say it that way, it certainly is strange.

Could it be that the suspect cut the wrong part?

That could be an possibility.

Ow, that really hurts.

It's okay, wait a minute...

What is it?

Officer, there's something I would like you to look into.

Rascal, the police don't have time to play your silly games.

That's right.

Go away, go away.

Let's hear it.

Come in.

You aren't asleep yet?

Yah.

This house is really stuffy, let's open the window.

Eh! Close it, close it.

Ah, now I don't know which one is which.

Sorry.

Hold on.

That one is with that one.

Huh?

Right, it's this one.

We're left with only the church's secret chamber.

But, hasn't this place been searched a couple of times already?

And also, the police have already wrapped it up.

What's this?

It's Kiriko's feather.

So this is it.

All the mysteries have been solved.

Kindaichi-kun, it's just like you said

Really?

Officer, please assemble all the related parties.

Everyone, I'm going to reveal the facts about these serial killings and the truth behind the fifth mummy.

First of all, twenty seven years ago, the girls who were killed in the church weren't five people.

It's been proven to be four people.

How can that be possible?

There really are five mummies!

It's five mummies formed from four.

But the mummies don't look like they've been mix and matched.

The mummies don't seem to be, but they've been changed.

Just listen to me carefully.

First, take the first person's head, that's makes one headless corpse.

Next, take away the top half of the second mummy along with the head and left arm together.

Then place the first person's head onto the second mummy. That makes a corpse without a left arm.

In the same manner, remove the third mummy's upper body and take the second mummy's body plus the left arm.

That creates a corpse without a right arm.

Finally, cut the fourth mummy at the waist and then attach the third mummy's upper body.

That makes corpse without a mid-section.

We have here remaining, a corpse without a lower body.

Four mummies now become five mummies.

It was I who created five mummies out of four.

You've found me out.

For what reason did you do that?

To save a life.

It was to save Shiori that I did that.

When I secretly entered the church without the other three people knowing,

the other four were already burnt to death except for Shiori.

I rescued her and brought her to the hospital in the city.

However, the news that she'd escaped the church would be revealed. I was afraid the others would find out.

That's why I thought of this method.

Afterwards, did you see Shiori again?

No.

Not long after, she disappeared from the hospital.

And I've never seen her since.

Could it be that Mr. Kazamatsuri...

Kazamatsuri, you are...

Kindaichi-kun, continue.

Yes.

Before I explain about the fifth mummy,

let me talk about the mystery behind the church's secret chamber.

That day, we saw the headless corpse wasn't Wakaba,

it was Kiriko.

The first to be murdered wasn't Wakaba, it was Kiriko.

When Kiriko's corpse was found, the message was about the second person.

Therefore, we all believed that Kiriko was killed after Wakaba.

We all fell into the suspect's trap.

Then who killed Kiriko?

It was Tokita Wakaba.

Before Wakaba was locked in the church,

she fooled Kiriko into exchanging places with herself.

There was someone she probably wanted to see.

Therefore, Wakaba cleverly exchanged places with Kiriko.

After Kiriko entered, she locked all the doors.

Kiriko replaced Wakaba on the bed.

After Wakaba saw Kiriko close her eyes,

she lowered a handkerchief soaked in chloroform through the skylight

and covered her face with it.

Thus, Kiriko won't awaken soon.

However, even if she makes her sleep continuously

to kill Kiriko in the secret chamber would be impossible.

The bed was raised.

Ha ha, do you realize how much the bed frame weighs?

Lower a rope from over there, and hook the bed.

Then use a crane to pull, then one can lift the frame up.

That's how bed was lifted up close to the skylight.

Then Kiriko was strangled and her head cut off.

This was how Kiriko's head was taken.

How did you figure that out?

It was this.

This feather was under the bed's leg.

If the bed wasn't lifted, then it would be impossible to put it there.

Right.

However, it's true that corpse was wakaba's.

That was a corpse exchanging trick.

Corpse exchanging trick?

After Wakaba killed Kiriko, she was immediately killed by a new suspect.

When we were searching for Kiriko, the new suspect met up with Wakaba somewhere.

Waited for an opportunity to kill her, then moved her corpse to the church.

Then cut off Wakaba's head, put on the white wedding dress and exchanged the bodies.

Therefore, even if the police ran tests, they would conclude that the body was Wakaba.

The part of the body that Kiriko was missing isn't the same as the mummy

It wasn't a mistake.

Cutting off the head was necessary in order to exchange the bodies.

Isn't that right, Teacher Odagiri?

No,

Kanzaki-san?

What are u saying Kindaichi-kun?

I've already researched through our department

Your real name is Kanzaki Ryuuichi.

You're the son of Kanzaki Shiori, the girl who escaped twenty seven years ago.

For the sake of avenging a twenty seven year old injustice, you spent many years researching the events in this village.

The affairs of the mummies, the wedding ritual of locking the bride in the church.

So you used Wakaba's wedding ceremony as a stage to plan these murder events.

This...

You change to Odagiri Susumu,

become a school teacher to get close to Mr. Tokita's only daughter, Wakaba and became lovers with her.

This photo is of you two, right?

When I saw this photo, I became suspicious of you.

From the way Wakaba isn't paying any attention to the camera,

you know it's a photo taken from a hidden camera.

However, how come you're looking straight in the direction of the camera lens?

You took them yourself.

You probably used a remote control. You knew where the shutter would be so that's why you unconsciously looked in that direction.

Because you wanted quicker results for this murder plan, you sent these pictures to Wakaba's home.

Thus, Wakaba would be brought home.

You hoped this would accelerate her marriage.

Probably you and Wakaba had also worked out what to do if she she was brought back to the village?

Wakaba then did as you instructed because she wanted to run away with you.

It was you who pushed the cross from the top of the church.

We were all fooled by you.

Kanzaki Ryuuichi,

you are being arrested as a suspect.

No!

Don't move!

I'll kill this girl if you move!

Don't do anything stupid.

No!

My mother was pregnant with me before these events.

Afterwards, she gave birth to me.

I came here to the village to seek revenge.

My mother who had lost all her closest relatives, couldn't find any decent jobs so she brought me up with much hardship.

Every day as my mother toiled bitterly, she showed me her burn scars and said,

"You have to seek revenge on my behalf".

You were born to kill them.

I would pay them back a thousand times for the pain my mother and I endured.

Let certain people of this village feel it too.

I was born for this,

I'll finish my job!

Wait.

Shiori?

How is your mother?

Dead.

I killed her.

Mother taught me a multitude of ways to kill people.

To complete the last step, she allowed me to kill her.

From then on, I could kill anyone without remorse.

The next villager I want to kill was supposed to be you, Mr, Kazamatsuri.

It was mother who didn't want me to kill you, so I let you live.

So finally, the person I want to shoot,

is you, Mr. Kabuto.

Stop! spare me!

Stop, Kanzaki

- Hajime-chan, Hajime-chan! -Kindaichi-kun!

Miyuki, move out of the way.

Hajime!

I can't forgive this guy.

What did you say?

The villagers you wanted to kill had past sins,

but even if you kill them, that doesn't resolve the hatred you and your mother have.

But wakaba didn't know anything,

she was just in love with you.

You took Wakaba's pure heart and used it for your revenge before killing her.

She laid her trust in you,

didn't you know?

She sacrificed so much for you.

The true love that Wakaba gave you,

you're totally unmoved?

I know, she was an imbecile.

She didn't know she was being deceived

and totally fell in love with me,

sincerely gambled her life away.

She fell in love with a useless man like me.

Someone, seize him!

Forgive me, my son.

I once had a promise with Shiori.

If, we had a son, we would name him, Ryuuichi.

Both of us would be one happy family.

We both made an commitment.

Impossible...that's a lie!

Ryuuichi!

Everything is over.

No, it hasn't ended yet.

This never ending suffering

can now be resolved.

Mr. Kazamatsuri!

Ahhh!

-Hajime-chan! -Kindaichi-kun!

Hajime-chan! Hajime-chan!

Quickly, call an ambulance!

Yes!

Is that how it was?

When Wakaba was killed by Mr. Kanzaki, she didn't defend herself?

No matter how much we examined her, we didn't find any evidence of self-defense.

She probably knew everything ahead of time.

Alright well, take care.

I don't know if that's heaven or hell.

However, they must be really happy

Hajime-chan...

It seems that I've given you a lot of trouble, sorry.

But I feel safe because I have Hajime-chan at my side.

This feeling...

could it be...

What?

Could you please write down your name and phone number here?

I could give you a call.

-Hajime-chan? -Huh?

-Idiot. That's hurt! What're you doing?

Miyuki, wait for me.

Hey Miyuki, wait for me!
