Stars are for some reason attractive.

They can be the culprit or an actor.

Today's story's stage is set on a village shrine.

Another meaning to the letters we've been seeing

is hiding an unexpected secret!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

"Stag beetles..."

"Hercules beetles..."

It must be around here.

Why do I have to look for insects...

on a hot day like this?

Hey. Mitsuhiko, are you sure they're around here?

Wait a second.

Moreover, there's garbage everywhere in this mountain.

It can't help it.

The people from the village usually take turns cleaning up,

but yesterday there was a festival

and a lot of people seem to have come here.

A festival?

It's called the Tento Festival

where people walk through town

with a float decorated with eight million Gods.

Look, that's the shrine over there.

That shrine gate is the starting point.

Behind the float that is lit up with colourful lights,

and fireworks are shot up in the air.

It is indeed a magnificent sight!

Doc, you were here last night?

Well, that's...

What...

Why didn't you bring us with you?

That's not fair!

We wanted to see the fireworks, too!

"Shrine Torii Gate Surprising Code (Part 1)"

We had our reasons, too.

Isn't it right, Ai?

Right, I'm sleepy because of it.

You're always sleepy.

What were the two of you doing here?

Did you two came here to catch insects?

Well, something like that.

What?

But we didn't see any unicorn beetles or stag beetles.

You can't find any of it just by groping around here and there.

I'm not just groping around!

I'm selecting trees like saw tooth oak that the unicorn beetles like.

Mitsuhiko, touch the ground of the root.

Hard, isn't it?

Yes.

And there's garbage, but no fallen leaves.

And we don't see any withered trees either, right?

The larva of the unicorn beetle

grows where fallen leaves have rot and the ground is soft.

The stag beetle grows by withered trees.

So there aren't much of them in groves like these where the ground is hard

and routine cleaning is carried out.

You sure know a lot.

If we were to look,

it would be in the woods on the other side of our tents.

And I think dawn would be best time to start.

Then let's eat dinner and hit the sack!

But don't expect too much.

The collecting season is from after June until around the middle of August.

These days the nights are a bit chilly

so there's not much tree sap around that the insects favour.

Don't be too disappointed.

I have a little treasure for you instead.

A treasure...

Yes. Something you will like!

Where is it?

To find it, you must...

You will have to solve this code.

Marumushi (pill bug)?

Ni (and)?

Tent?

What is that?

Pill bug is the insect that curls up into a round ball

when it's poked at like a roly-poly, right?

Are we going to set a tent up over him?

Or maybe it's the ladybug?

I don't get it.

At times like this...

It's...

-That's right. -Right.

It's up to Conan.

What?

No. Don't depend on Edogawa's wits.

Why not, Haibara?

I'm just saying it's not good to depend on others so easily.

You might be able to figure it out if you lie down and think carefully.

And if you still don't get it,

wash your face and start anew.

Start anew.

It's easy to say but...

Doc and Ai are so mean!

-What makes you say that, Ai? -Shinichi.

I have something I want to discuss with you.

Can you go to the place of the code and secretly check things out?

Okay.

If Ai or I go,

they'll probably find out where the coded location is through us.

Don't tell me that you can't decipher my code?

Leave me alone.

Is that right?

This is all because Ai thought it through real hard!

Don't let him get you, Doc.

Huh?

He's just trying to make you happy by making you think you beat him.

Is that right?

It's unthinkable that he can't solve a super simple code like this.

Isn't it right, Mr. Holmes of the age of Heisei?

She's really making me mad.

Conan, you don't get it, too?

Hey, you're just like us!

I'm really glad.

You're just an ordinary first grader after all!

No.

I almost have the answer.

The pill bug is not an insect.

Like the crab and shrimp, it has a hard shell.

Just like a person who protects himself with hard frame work or cloth

when sleeping in a tent in the mountains, so does the pill bug.

They can both curl up into a ball.

And...

And so...

Even if I run the common points together, I still can't solve it.

I've got mail.

Let's talk about the code later.

Conan.

It's from Sonoko.

It's a picture.

What's this?

What on earth is this?

This time it's a phone call.

It's from Ran.

Voice changer, voice changer.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Ran? What's up?

Sorry, Shinichi.

Sonoko just sent you a picture, right?

Erase it right now!

Don't erase it!

I took Ran's special sexy shot.

Hey, Sonoko! What are you saying?

Special sexy shot?

Then this is...

Ran's...

It's bleeding.

Right, Ran and Sonoko were saying they were going to the beach.

Hey. Who are you talking to, Conan?

What? Conan?

-Is Conan nearby? -Oh, no!

Kona coffee.

It's the kona coffee I'm drinking right now.

Don't drink too much.

Okay.

I'm going to hang up if that's all you have to say.

The picture...

I know! I'll erase it.

See you!

Save, save.

She'll find out sooner or later.

Hey! I've found the pill bug!

Where did you find it?

I bet you just turned over a rock or something, right?

No! No!

I found it! On the other side of the woods.

You found it?

Is it true, Genta?

See, we're here.

There, over there.

Look there!

It's "marumushi", right?

Marumushi Hot Spring?

I've heard of a Asamushi Hot Spring, but...

It's such a lonely hot spring inn.

The sign is coming off.

There's probably a tent inside that inn, right?

There must be a key to the code in that tent!

Then, let's go!

Let's go!

I don't see the point...

of saying that so enthusiastically.

How strange.

I thought there was something at Marumushi Hot Spring.

That inn is closed down, and there is no tent in there.

Yes. There was no one there, too.

So what do you say? Give up?

I guess so.

Unfortunately...

So show us the treasure.

Actually this code is...

Doc, wait!

There's one person who still hasn't given up.

Hey.

Conan?

Why don't you just give up?

There are times like this.

But it's so odd.

Conan love codes so much and are able to solve them easily.

Maybe you're suffering from the summer heat?

Shut up.

It's just that I can't really get into it.

Especially when it's not connected to a case.

A phone call.

It's Ran again.

What can it be this time?

Yes, hello?

Shinichi? Please help me!

Someone's been killed.

Sonoko and I were also attacked and we're in trouble!

What? Are you in the middle of running away from the killer?

No, we're alright now.

We're not hurt.

We're with the police right now.

And? Who was killed?

A man called Miyama who was staying in the same hotel as us!

Then were you attacked because you saw the killer?

No, we didn't see him.

We found out that the man was killed only after the police informed us.

What? You were attacked despite the police being there?

No, we were attacked on our way back from the police!

It was too dark to see who it was though.

Is the one who attacked you is the killer?

I don't know.

That person ran off with Sonoko's bag,

-so maybe it was just a purse-snatcher. -Hey!

What are you doing?

Give it back!

Why did you go to the police at night?

Sonoko remembered that there was something written on the window

of the hotel room where the man was killed.

So we went to the police to tell them about it.

What kind of writing?

Something like a code.

A code?

What are you so happy about?

Someone died, you know.

Sorry.

And what was written?

According to Sonoko,

it was written in red by something similar to lipstick.

There were four alphabets written in small letters,

"t, e, i, u".

"Teiu?"

Yes. So Sonoko thinks the victim probably left a message.

It's not probably!

That is definitely a dying message!

The victim probably wanted to say "teiuka".

Sonoko.

It is so-called...

"The Teiuka Homicide"

What? The teiuka homicide?

Sonoko, quit fooling around.

I'm not fooling around!

A man called Miyama was killed

and on his window were the letters "teiu"!

"T, e, i, u".

With the letters "teiu", then it must be "teiuka"

that he wanted to leave as a message, right?

When we met Mr. Miyama on the beach,

he kept using the word "teiuka".

So whatever you say, it's the teiuka homicide.

Was the "I" in "teiu" is the alphabet "L"?

"L"? Well, maybe.

So what if it is?

And the fourth letter "u",

wasn't the length of the right side is a little shorter than the left?

What?

So I'm asking if it is the "shi" character in hiragana!

Now that you mentioned it,

it might have been that.

Think of the "shi" coming right after the alphabets "tel".

Tel... tel shi?

I get it!

"Please tel" it means "please call",

and he was trying to call for help.

I knew you could do it, Shinichi!

Yes, yes.

Your hubby is great. Very great.

He's not my hubby!

What are you saying, Sonoko?

Ran, your face are red!

In what situation was the man killed?

Oh, right.

According to the police,

he was lying on the floor bleeding from his head

near the window of the hotel.

He was hit by something hard from the back.

If he was trying to write "tel shite",

that guy probably wrote it with his own blood.

What?

The letters written in red, right?

And who found the body?

The three friends of Mr. Miyama who was killed.

If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Kano the classmate of Mr. Miyama,

Ms. Yanuma, Mr. Miyama's girlfriend,

and Mr. Bito, a colleague at a part-time job they both worked for.

Mr. Miyama and the three of them were planning to have dinner together.

So they went to his room to get him because he didn't come.

They found the door was unlocked and the window was broken.

Mr. Miyama was found on the floor near the window.

This is what they testified to the police.

The window was broken?

That's why the police say that the killer broke in from the window.

When Sonoko went to the police

to tell them about the letters that were written on the window,

they didn't find anything of that sort among the broken pieces of glass.

The letters "teiu" were not understandable so wouldn't believe us either.

So I told the police

that I'd bring the evidence to them!

Hey, Sonoko.

Do you really have the evidence?

Don't you remember that I sent it to you, Kudo?

What?

The special sexy shot of Ran that I took with my cell phone!

I noticed the red letters before I took the picture,

so it should be in the background of Ran's picture!

What do you mean by "should be"?

You haven't checked?

No. I thought I left my cell phone back at the hotel,

so we headed back from the police station to go get it.

But half way back, I realize that it was in my bag.

So we were heading back to the police station again

when I was unfortunately mugged

and my bag was taken.

I didn't want to be called a liar

so I told Ran to call you and ask you to send me back that picture!

Huh?

I told her that you probably erased it,

and that it would be no use to call you.

You erased it, right?

Yes, of course.

You see!

Really?

Anyway,

you know the meaning of the letters now,

so go tell the police about it.

Okay! I'll call if something comes up.

Okay.

That sexy shot... Did he really erased it?

Picture, picture.

Found it.

There's the red letters.

There's something written on the window just like Sonoko said.

The curtain is closed so it's not possible to look inside the room.

Only the letter "t" which is hidden behind Ran's hips is in view.

There's something written in red besides the "t".

Could it be a comma or a slip of the pen?

What a weird killer

if the dying message were to be "tel shite".

Some time after committing the murder,

he must've noticed the writing

and broke the window to retrieve the pieces with writings on them.

Even if it were to be an attempt to delay the discovery of the body,

breaking the window would risk attracting more attention

and hastening the discovery.

What are you looking at, Conan?

What?

What is it?

Hey! That's... It's a woman's nude, isn't it?

Conan, it might be against the law

if a grade schooler looks at a picture like that!

It's not.

It's just a spam mail.

When I accessed the site to the mail,

I just happened to get this picture.

By the way, were you guys able to decipher Doc's code?

No. Not at all.

No way!

If even you can't, how could we?

We borrowed the paper with the code "pill bug and a tent".

Pill bug...

I wonder if we'll really be able to find the site of the treasure

after deciphering this code?

If I were to choose,

I would rather have come here for the festival Dr. Agasa went to.

Festival?

Wasn't that festival called the Tento Festival?

What?

What did you just say?

You can see the shrine gate that lit up, right?

Doc said that it's a village festival and the float starts from there.

Then, is the "tent" in the code points to the Tento festival?

Even so, I still don't understand the pill bug part.

I still think it has something to do with the Marumushi Hot Spring.

But that place was closed down.

The entrance was closed

and no one answered our calls.

What is it?

Hey, look! Something's getting bright.

That's where...

Marumushi Hot Spring is located.

"Pill bug and tent..."

Does that mean to light it up?

That's it! That must be it!

I'm getting it.

Okay!

Let's go!

Next Conan's Hint:

"Back and front"

Words that can be read from right to left!

Deed.

-Great! -Ear.
