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.
