He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

Ran, Pops and I

were helped by Mr. Michiyoshi Majima, the president of Kiyama Furniture,

when we ran out of gas and got stuck on a mountain pass in Izu.

And the President, Mr. Majima invited us to stay at his house.

The house had a Rock Garden.

It was so constructed that water began to flow

and fill the garden at certain times of the day.

Meanwhile, as it happened to be the day of the

opening of the first store of Kiyama Furniture,

other guests also gathered there for a dinner party.

Mr. Masayuki Hashimoto, Secretary assigned to Mr. Majima,

Mr. Nobuaki Endo, the president of Kiyama Interior,

and Mr. Tomonori Kiyama, freelance writer

were the three guests there.

Though the party goes on,

Mr. Majima leaves in the middle of the party.

Mr. Kiyama also goes back to his room.

Then, a quarrel begins and the party soon takes on an ugly mood.

After that, Mr. Hashimoto leaves the dining hall,

saying that he is going back to his office.

Mr. Endo and Pops who stays, continues drinking.

The following morning...

Ma... President Majima.

President.

Keep out! This is a homicide!

Don't enter the garden! We've got to preserve the crime scene!

Don't you think there's something strange about his corpse?

Something strange? What's strange?

Around the body...

There are no footsteps at all.

True.

So, how did the murderer carry Mr. Majima up there?

"Mystery of the Japanese Water Flowing Rock Garden"

"(Part 2)"

What?

It looks like something was dragged.

Mr. Mouri.

There you are, Mr. Mouri.

Oh, you're Officer Yokomizo.

It's been a while.

But it's kind of funny

how I always run into you in a place like this.

The renowned detective should be where puzzling cases are.

Maybe I should just resign myself to my fate.

Anyway, this time again we're counting on your cooperation.

Officer Yokomizo, I've got a report from the coroner.

He died of asphyxiation from strangulation.

Approximate time of death,

last night, between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m.

His body was moved shortly after his death.

Considering that only parts of the dead body,

which were touching the ground, were wet,

his body was most likely carried here after 9 p.m. or later.

That is, the time of the crime

would've been somewhere between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.

I see. I thought so.

Don't tell me that you've already found the murderer.

There's no such word as unsolved in my dictionary.

Are you for real...

Have you found the murderer?

Who? Who killed the president?

Oh, please ease up.

So, let's hear his explanation first.

Could you explain, Mr. Mouri?

Well, let me get your alibis straight.

First, Mr. Kiyama,

you got back to your room after the dinner party at 8 p.m.

and watched the video which you borrowed from Mr. Endo.

You went for a drive with Ran and Conan at 11.15 p.m.

and came back here at 1 a.m. after midnight.

Yes.

Mr. Hashimoto, after Mr. Kiyama left,

you went out the hall at about 8.10 p.m.

and went directly back to your office.

And this morning, you picked up my car and came back here.

That's right.

Mr. Endo, you stayed and drank with me until 9.30 p.m.

and after that you stayed in your room until this morning.

There's no doubt about that.

What is important here is what Ayaka said.

Ayaka finished putting things away

and got back to the staff room at 8.45 p.m.

She was stationed in the staff room until two o'clock.

During this time, Mr. Kiyama was the only person

who went in and out of the western style house,

to go view the night scenery.

Is that right, Ayaka?

Yes.

Looking around the house,

there was no sign that anyone had gone in or out through windows.

And it's impossible for anyone to go out of the house

without being seen by Ayaka.

That is, the crime occurred between 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

those who spent their night here,

Mr. Endo, Ayaka and Mr. Kiyama who were with Ran and Conan,

have established alibis.

Which means...

That's right.

So I'll tell you straight that

the murderer is Mr. Hashimoto. You.

Me?

Mr. Majima bitterly urged you to repay your debt, right?

So, that doesn't...

You left the western style house,

saying that you'd be going back to your office.

You then broke into Mr. Majima's room

and killed him there.

Then you carried his body into this room.

Carried his body into this room?

He used the you-know-what.

What's this?

It's a catching pole for picking up objects

that have fallen into the garden.

Oh, you must be joking.

Mr. Hashimoto carried Mr. Majima here

tied him up atop the pole like this.

Mr. Mouri?

Just watch.

And Mr. Hashimoto carried the body like this.

Look at you.

Just a bit more.

Mr. Mouri.

No good, after all.

My only clue

is the trail that looks like something was dragged.

There seems to be no signs of tricks

built into the rocks in the garden.

Darn, how did the murderer carry Mr. Majima up there?

Excuse me, officer,

can we go now?

Mr. Kiyama and I are innocent

because we were in the western style house

at the time of the killing, you know.

That's true but...

I say, Mr. Mouri.

Shut up! I'm thinking now, just be quiet.

Officer Yokomizo.

I found something in the trash can in the dining hall.

This is... Mr. Mouri!

It says, if you want me to keep quiet about the accounting gimmick,

come up to the rooftop of the western style house

with this paper at eleven o'clock.

What?

Mr. Mouri.

Mr. Majima was killed not in the main house,

but maybe at the western style house.

But...

Ayaka, did you see Mr. Majima coming up to the western style house?

No.

Don't tell me you killed Mr. Majima.

No, I didn't.

Ayaka.

Please tell us the truth.

To tell the truth, I'm...

Tanuma's daughter.

Tanuma. So you are the daughter of the driver

who died in the accident with the former president?

Yes, the only reason I started working here

was because I wanted to confirm a rumor I heard about

Majima having rigged the car to make it look like an accident.

Mr. Endo knew about it.

And it was, I think, around 10.40 p.m.

Mr. Endo?

And he said, 'Give me money if you don't want Mr. Majima

to know who you are'.

I see.

At that time, she was looking at the picture of her father.

Is what she said true, Mr. Endo?

So, can you tell me what time Mr. Endo left?

I think it was a little past 11.

So, you might not have noticed Mr. Majima

coming to the western style house.

Maybe not.

It all sounds too perfect to be real.

I didn't kill him, I swear.

It will be clear before long.

Now, let's go to the rooftop.

Yes.

Mr. Mouri.

Oh, I can see the garden very well from up here.

I got it. I know who the murderer is.

So, after all, the criminal is...

The murderer is Mr. Endo. You.

You went over to Ayaka and closed the curtains,

so that Mr. Majima wouldn't be noticed going up to the roof.

You then, went to the roof where Mr. Majima was waiting,

and strangled him.

You used what you had set up beforehand,

then moved Mr. Majima over to the stone garden.

I see.

And, just what did he set up?

Archery.

Huh? Hey.

You got ready an arrow with a ring on its rear.

You pulled a long rope through the ring.

Then, you left both ends of the rope with you.

You then shot the arrow into the big tree

on the other side of the stone garden.

For you, who were a contestant on the national team,

it must've been an easy feat.

You hung Mr. Majima to that rope

and slid him over to the stone garden that way.

But Mr. Mouri,

if so, wouldn't the rope be left in the garden?

Oh, that's easy.

He tied one end of the rope which he kept at hand to the arrow

and shot the arrow into the grove over the rock garden.

Then the rope would be pulled by the arrow and fly off somewhere.

I'm willing to bet my career as a private detective on it.

The bow and the arrow that is tied to the rope

must be somewhere!

I'm not sure if you should've said that.

We found them!

We found the bow in Mr. Endo's room

and the arrow in the grove over the rock garden.

I'm proud of you, Dad.

That's impossible.

Strange.

If Pop is right, how can the dead body be lying in that way?

But, if he is wrong,

then how can I explain the bow and the arrow with the rope?

This is...

a ticket to Mr. Kiyama's photograph exhibition.

Why is it in a place like this?

I see. So, that's the story.

If my deduction is correct,

the killer is still supposed to have the stuff hidden somewhere.

Because that stuff's not so easy to get rid of.

I've found it.

Just as I thought.

All that's left now is the evidence.

What's this stain?

I see.

I've found conclusive evidence.

I was just about to put on a grand show.

I tell you that, Conan.

What could be so important?

I'll take care of things from here, Pops.

I can tell you that. I didn't kill him.

-Okay. -I didn't kill him.

-I'll hear you out at the police station. -I'm not the killer.

Officer Yokomizo.

What's up?

Mr. Mouri said he wanted all of us to gather at the rock garden room.

At the rock garden room?

He seems to have figured out who the criminal is.

What?

Mr. Mouri. What's this supposed to mean?

Mr. Endo is the criminal, isn't he?

That pose is...

Detective,

just as you said, I was going to kill Majima.

What? There you are!

But he didn't come.

-Believe me. -Stop lying!

I know, Mr. Endo.

The real murderer is someone else.

The true criminal is the person who knew in advance

about your murderous feelings towards Mr. Endo

and took advantage of it.

Don't you think it strange?

If Mr. Endo were the murderer,

why would he throw away only the subpoena,

in a separate place from his bow?

True.

The murderer took the subpoena from Mr. Majima's room

and threw it away on purpose, to publicize Mr. Endo's plan.

And if the dead body were carried from the roof,

in the manner that I just deduced a while ago,

no matter how you had him hanging by the rope

it would be impossible for him to be found the way he was,

on his stomach,

with his hands and feet in place as they were.

That's totally impossible.

Then, in what way was he carried?

Officer, will you please go and get that?

Yes.

Officer Yokomizo, here is.

An air mattress.

Now, what might that mean, Mr. Mouri?

Perhaps the time of the crime was about 8.30 p.m.

That's the time when water begins to flow into the garden.

Exactly.

After water filled with the garden, the murderer

tied the string to the air mattress

and set it afloat in the water

after putting the dead body of Mr. Majima on it.

Before long, the water began to drain away,

the water level went down

and just before the air mattress touched the sand,

the murderer held Mr. Majima's body

with the top end of the caching pole

and pulled the air mattress out full force.

That was the way the murderer put the dead body

in the middle of the rock garden

without leaving no marks on the sand.

Incidentally, the murderer left a mark on the stone

which was placed on the edge of the rock garden

when they pulled the air mattress out of the water.

The ticket probably fell out of his pocket

into the water at that time.

According to the forensics,

this scratch was made by the decorative button of his trousers.

So, who is the murderer?

I'm sure the murderer panicked

when we decided suddenly to spend the night here.

If Mr. Endo cancelled his plan,

everything would go down the drain.

So, the murderer tried to take us outside

at the time Mr. Endo called Mr. Majima.

Don't tell me...

The murderer is the one who took Ran and the others out

and made Mr. Endo carry out the murder plan.

It's you, Mr. Kiyama.

After he left the dining hall,

Mr. Kiyama didn't go back to his room

but went to the main house and killed Mr. Majima.

As Ayaka was still in the dining hall,

he didn't have to worry about being observed.

After he put the dead body in the rock garden,

Mr. Kiyama patiently waited for

Mr. Endo to close the curtains in the staff room where Ayaka was.

That is, Mr. Endo tried to hide Mr. Majima from view

but, in fact, in doing so, he helped Mr. Kiyama

carry out the crime.

I see.

Then the mattress...

Yes. We've found in Mr. Kiyama's room.

Wait a minute.

This is a setup.

And the criminal put the air mattress in my room

in order to put the blame on me.

Are you sure it doesn't look familiar?

Of course not.

I've never see an air mattress like this.

It sounds odd to me.

Mr. Kiyama, could you take a closer look at the mattress again?

This...

Yeah. This is the ink of your father's keepsake fountain pen

that you always carry on you.

I didn't expect that the ink splattered even over the mattress.

I thought I wiped off all the ink.

But how come...

Majima would've been killed anyway by Mr. Endo

even if you didn't do it.

I just happened to overheard

the guy proudly telling his story in a very amusing way.

Majima rigged the brakes

and made my father fall to his death.

While I was away, took the seat as president

and took over my father's corporation.

When I found out about it, I swore.

I was gonna kill that jerk someday.

So, Mr. Endo provided a wonderful opportunity for me to kill him.

You know, it created a perfect opportunity to offer

the dead body as a sacrifice

to the rock garden my father loved.

Oh, out of gas again.

Dad, I've heard enough about your 'Oh, out of gas'.

What're we gonna to do now, on a mountain path like this?

Hey, easy does it!

Perhaps a president may happen to pass us again

and invite us to his office.

I have a feeling that I'm gonna be able to drink tonight again.

You never learn.
