Detective Conan will be going into its 10th year.

One down and more to come!

The unlucky day calendar is a point of concern.

An apparition is created from a nightmare.

Homicide despite tight security.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Evil spirit?

You're asking me to get rid of the curse of an evil spirit?

Yes. Well, to put it straightforwardly...

You see, a detective solves cases.

Of course,

we've asked priests and clairvoyants to try and perform exorcisms,

but nothing seems to be working so far.

So we have gone for the last resort, the Mouri Detective Agency

in hopes that you may be able

to solve this paranormal phenomena scientifically.

And? Just what is that paranormal phenomenon?

It all started with a nightmare

that the master of the house had seen two years ago.

A nightmare?

He jumped up from bed

screaming in a chilling voice that wasn't from this world.

And when I opened the door,

he said, "It's a curse. I'm going to be killed."

He keeps on repeating those words again and again.

But that was only a dream, right?

Of course, that's not the only thing!

Six months after that, the brakes of this car that the master was riding

went out of control and he barely escaped a big accident.

Isn't it right, Mr. Watabiki? You remember it, don't you?

Yes. I didn't realize that the brake oil was leaking.

I'm sorry.

Because of that accident, the master came down with a heart ailment.

His eye became sunken and his hair turned completely white.

But it can also be considered a mere accident.

In what way is an evil spirit involved?

We can't help but think it's the doings of an evil spirit.

With this kind of card being sent to us.

Card?

"Atone your sins before I shall awaken. I am the fifth soul."

"The Evil Spirit that Appears on Butsumetsu (The Case)"

And when did you get this card?

Around a little after New Year's Day last year.

It was in the mailbox.

At first, we thought it was just a prank,

but when I showed it to the master, his wife was also very surprised.

-His wife was also surprised? -Yes.

Then six months later, the dish cabinet suddenly toppled over.

Furthermore in April of this year,

a strange sound was heard from inside the house

where only the master and his wife were supposed to be.

Was there something in common about the days when strange things happened?

Like things always happened on Friday the 13th or something like that.

No.

The days were at random,

but the date was always on the 4th.

Then maybe something happened on the 4th previously?

But no one has any idea.

Today is October 3rd,

so tomorrow is the problem date, the 4th.

That's true.

It seems that strange things happened five times so far.

Do you remember what year and what month it was?

No, I don't.

I do!

At first,

two years ago on February 4th, the master had a nightmare.

Then he got into an accident in the same year on July 4th.

A year ago, on February 4th, a strange card was found in the mailbox

and on July 4th the same year, the dish cabinet fell.

On April 4th this year, a strange sound was heard from inside the house.

You've taken notes of everything!

Yes. I have to write things down because I'm so forgetful.

He's just like you, Conan.

Right.

Maybe the sender of this card is up to something.

By the way, don't you sense anything about this card?

Sense something? You mean like something spiritual?

Well, you know...

Well, if you don't sense anything...

I heard differently!

I thought we were going to have just one guest?

I'm sorry. My daughter insisted on coming so.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not angry at you people!

I'm angry at this old man here who didn't bother to contact me!

Old man...

Namika.

I've got to go and shop for more stuff then.

You sure have a perky daughter.

No. She's the chef.

Chef?

Her father used to be the chef for the Kunitomo family.

But he died of an accident and she succeeded him.

She's still so young.

Come to think of it, he also took after his father.

That's right, Mr. Watabiki!

The master will be going to the University Hospital at 20:00 tonight.

Yes, sir.

Huh?

Out of ink?

Here!

Use this.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Please don't be offended.

I experienced food poisoning when I was a child.

And since then I've become a neat paranoiac.

Here you go. Thank you.

Okay.

Conan?

We're going to leave you behind.

Leave him! Leave him!

The master and his wife?

I saw them a while ago in the third floor bedroom.

Okay.

Huh?

What is it?

You sure look like the chef we saw a while ago.

It hurts!

Dad!

Of course we look alike!

Namika is my daughter.

No wonder.

And please don't point your finger at me, okay?

I have belonephobia.

I see.

Belonephobia?

Dad.

If you have a message for the master, shall I go relay it for you?

No. I'll go see him myself.

By the way, Shigeko. That picture...

Will you please fix it in place?

I think it is about five millimetres tilted to the right.

Huh?

Five millimetres?

Yes, sir!

Thank you.

Shall we go, then?

What a strange place for a door to be.

Oh, that's the door

that a friend of Mrs. Kunitomo installed

after they received that weird card.

It's quite some door.

You push the passcode like so and place your index finger here.

Who is it?

I'm Akatsuka, the steward.

I've brought Detective Mouri with me.

I'll open the door right away.

Like so.

Fantastic!

It's made so that the bell doesn't ring inside

unless it's the registered fingerprints of a family member.

It's just like some science fiction movie.

It's not science fiction at all.

There are condos equipped with fingerprint recognition machines nowadays.

Although it's not that all widespread yet.

Right.

This is Mrs. Yasue Kunitomo, and the person to the left

is the person who made the door, Mrs. Kunitomo's friend, Mr. Sekiguchi.

It seems that someone who was inside opened this door a while ago,

but what if nobody is on the third floor either?

No one can open the door.

Except for my husband whose fingerprints

are set inside the fingerprint recognition machine.

Anyone in this house can go out

by placing his finger on the machine though.

I'd like to give it a try.

Don't touch it!

When someone from outside places his finger on the machine,

the alarm within the house will go off

and the people from the security office will rush over here!

It hurts.

I also thought that we should put up surveillance cameras too, but...

I told him not to do it.

A camera at the front entrance is okay,

but I'm setting up such exaggerated security precautions

in this fine house that my father had built.

I think it has enough exaggerated security precautions already.

You're Mr. Mouri, the renown detective!

Yes.

I'm Kunitomo, the one who asked for you.

It hurts...

I'm counting on you as far as the investigation is concerned.

Yes, sir.

I shall give you a quick tour of the house then.

Thank you.

Kid, hurry up!

Okay!

Are you sure it's okay calling a detective over?

If he finds out about the, you know what...

He won't. There's no evidence of it anywhere anymore.

But from what was written on that card...

That's why we hired a detective.

To have him catch the one who is blackmailing us

and find out how far he knows, right?

Wait! I'll go get your medicine right away.

Here, your medicine!

Hey, are you okay?

At the rate you're going,

you're going to drop dead before we catch the culprit.

Watch your mouth!

You're the one to blame for what happened to begin with, you know!

That's why I'm here, aren't I?

Tomorrow's the X Day in question, right?

Yes.

The day that this mansion's mouse begins to move.

And?

How is it?

How?

It's good of course.

Oh, no. I'm not talking about the food,

but the investigation.

I can't say yet, for now.

Even if someone were to set it up,

so that the dish cabinet would fall or queer sounds would be made,

I'm sure the gadgets would've been retrieved by now.

Not again!

Wearing gloves when eating.

Everything's washed clean. How rude!

I'm sorry.

It's about time I take the master to the hospital.

Why don't you at least drink your coffee before you go?

Those two get along well, don't they?

Yes. Their parents were best friends and they're childhood friends.

Excuse me. Could I have some coffee, too?

Here.

Huh?

Here, give it to me.

I'm sorry, mother.

She's acrophobic,

so she can't go near a window that's more than second floors high.

By the way, that steward is a meticulous perfectionist

and hates things that are crooked.

Even if it's a tablecloth, if he finds that it's crooked...

See!

What is wrong with this house?

Neat paranoiac, onephobia, acrophobe, and a meticulous perfectionist.

I took the job only because

I thought we could spend the night at the mansion of a tycoon in Shizuoka.

Conan, we should've stayed home

if this kind of spook story was going to come up, right?

What're you looking at?

Oh, well...

The dates of the five incidents that happened here.

The first one was two years ago on February 4th.

The next one was on July 4th.

Last year, it also happened on February 4th and July 4th.

And this year, it's April the 4th, right?

I wonder why it's April 4th only this year?

Beats me. If it's the 5th,

Dad was out on February 5th and July 5th last year and two years ago.

Huh?

Don't you remember? You went to a wedding, helped people move

and went on a trip with the community committee.

Come to think of it,

I went to a wedding on the 5th of April this year, too.

A lucky day is usually chosen for weddings, trips and moving, right?

Yes.

Right.

Which means the day before those days are all Butsumetsu?

Butsumetsu?

Wait!

If I remember correctly, the supermarket

will be having a grand opening on October 5th, the day after tomorrow.

So what does that mean?

Does that mean that tomorrow, October the 4th is Butsumetsu

and something's going to happen?

To be exact, it's already today.

What was that?

What was that sound?

A shoe?

Mr. Akatsuka? This is Yasue.

We got a flat tire so we were a bit stalled.

We're late, but we should be arriving there soon.

What? Mr. Sekiguchi?

Yes. On the veranda where your bedroom is.

We called the ambulance and the police right away,

but the only person who can enter the third floor is Mr. Kunitomo,

so no one has gone in yet.

Please hurry back!

What on earth is going on?

It's a curse. It's an evil spirit after all.

Dear?

Here is your medicine!

Mr. Watabiki, please hurry!

Yes! I'll try my best.

The victim is Mr. Toshimichi Sekiguchi, age 43.

The estimated time of death is 4 hours ago between 20:30 to 21:00.

Mr. Sekiguchi was your friend, Mrs. Yasue Kunitomo.

Yes. We were classmates in high school.

He is the president of a security company now.

Which means that the fingerprint recognition device installed

at the entrance of the third floor was put there by Mr. Sekiguchi, right?

Yes.

Would you please tell me where you were between 20:30 and 21:00?

I was in the car. On my way to the hospital with my husband.

My husband has a heart ailment so on the 3rd of every month,

we go to doctor acquaintance of ours to have him checked.

What time did you leave the house?

I think it was just about 20:00.

Are you suspecting us?

I'm sure that Mr. and Mrs. Kunitomo left here at 20:00!

I see.

I came here to the 3rd floor

at 5 minutes to 20:00 in order to take the two to the car.

Besides, at that time, Mr. Sekiguchi was alive.

I see.

Could Mr. Sekiguchi have committed suicide?

Well, there are some queer points as to his death.

The position of the rope that he put his neck through

is much too close to the railing of the veranda!

Well, he could've done so even if he was close.

But he would've had an extremely difficult time doing so.

So this may be homicide made to look like a suicide.

Well, we can't tell whether it's suicide or homicide yet, but...

This card that reads, "I atone my sins of 13 years ago"

is sure to be the key to solving the case.

Mr. Mouri, where did you get that?

I found it in Mr. Sekiguchi's clothes before the police got here.

You shouldn't do stuff like that on your own.

Right, that's why I gave him a good licking.

Huh?

Isn't that right, kid?

What is this card anyway?

A sin of 13 years ago?

Beats me.

It kind of looks to be a dying message, too.

But I guess we can ask the three who went pale

when they saw this card for the details?

What seems to be the matter?

Does something 13 years ago come to mind?

It was just about 13 years ago.

The master's cruiser had a marine accident.

Marine accident?

Yes. Back then, every year, just about this time,

it was usual practice for all of us here to go cruising on master's boat,

but it got stranded off shore the Suruga Bay.

Mr. and Mrs. Kunitomo

and Mr. Sekiguchi who just happened to be sailing that day

somehow made it to safety.

And what about the others?

The whereabouts of everyone else is unknown.

The ship that sunk hasn't been found yet either.

Could it be that Mr. Sekuguchi caused the ship to sink

so someone had a grudge against him?

Well, I hate the sea.

So I never went with them.

Since you two were saved, you know what happened, don't you?

The reason why the ship sank.

No. Because I was sleeping

when Mr. Sekiguchi suddenly shouted to run for it.

We were desperate to flee that we didn't know what was going on.

Is there anybody here that is the bereaved family of a victim

of that accident and working here?

Yes.

Which means that this case may also be connected

in some way to the five others incidents that happened here.

Five incidents?

It happened.

Mr. Kunitomo had nightmares.

The car brakes didn't function.

The dish cabinet falls down in the middle of the night

And strange sounds are heard

at a place where no one is supposed to be there.

And to top things off is this card that was found directly in the mailbox.

Please wait a minute.

It looks exactly like the card that was found in on Mr. Sekiguchi.

Moreover, if all the incidents are happening on "Butsumetsu the 4th",

it's natural to think that someone in this house

is up to something, isn't it?

I see. Someone who is still working here

and is a bereaved family member of the victim of the accident.

That person may have thought

that Mr. Sekiguchi was responsible for the accident and killed him.

So please call the people who fit in to this category here.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Sekiguchi's wristwatch...

Something's engraved on it.

"E" and "N"?

"E" and "N" would usually mean...

Huh? Maybe not...

Which means...

Next Conan's Hint:

"Fingerprint"

-Conan, show me your fingerprint. -Okay.

Your fingerprint is just like Shinichi's.

Surprised?
