Original subtitles

Even destiny serves as a clue to deduction.

And the light of truth pierces through the most mysterious case.

Another travel mystery for our fans.

The puzzle is hidden in the beautiful scenery.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Goodness. Dad, it's still morning and you're already drinking.

What's wrong with that?

After all, I did win our trip ticket at the shopping arcade lottery.

I know, "We were able to go on a trip because I won the lottery."

Isn't that what you want to say?

We've heard it so many times already.

Isn't that right, Conan?

That's right.

Pops, you're a real genius at lotteries.

Not just at lotteries, at everything!

You think it'll go all right?

I mean he's the one who made all the arrangements.

Don't worry, Conan is very mature for his age.

As for you, dad, you're drinking too much.

All right...

"The Linked Poetry Incident At Tamatsukuri In Matsue (Part 1)"

This Matsue City is famous for its castle.

And for Lake Shinji.

I hear the Lake Shinji Shitchin's are worth trying.

"Jouzan Inari Shrine" -What is Shitchin?

It refers to the sea bass,

Japanese ice fish, pond smelt, fresh water clam,

moroge shrimp, carp and eel,

the seven delicacies caught in this lake.

Collectively, they're called Shitchin.

Matsue City also boasts Lafcadio Hearn known as Yakumo Koizumi.

Yakumo Koizumi, you mean the author of "Kwaidan"?

Yes, most people are familiar with "Mimi nashi Yoichi" (Earless Yoichi)

and "Yuki Onna" (Snow Woman).

And there's a spooky story based in Matsue City.

Do you want to hear it, Ran?

-Well, maybe another time. -You're scared.

"Matsue Lake Hotel"

Mr. Kogoro Mouri.

One of our staff will show you to your room,

please wait over there for a while.

We serve all our guest green tea and sweets.

Oh, thanks.

It's the lake!

How wonderful, they have such a great view of the lake from here.

We'll be able to see them digging for clams tomorrow morning.

Speaking of clam digging,

I believe Basho composed a poem about it.

Parting at Futami, dividing like Shijimi,

we go along with the autumn.

Or something like that.

Mr. Shiina, that's rude.

But, Ms. Reiko...

I hate to correct you.

But I believe it was clam and shells, not Shijimi.

Clam and shells?

Yes. Actually, the poem reads,

Parting at Futami, dividing like clam and shells,

we go along with the autumn.

In this connection, there's a lot of shops at Hasamichi

are called "Ogaki".

You do know your literature.

Matsue ranks high alongside Kyoto and Kanazawa

for its Japanese sweets.

Our hometown Osaka got to work harder at it.

He's Takumi Yagisawa.

He runs a Japanese confectionery shop in Osaka.

"Takumi Yagisawa (32)" -Oh, it's no big deal.

I just took over the business from my father.

So, you're a young master.

They sure look good.

I'm helping myself!

Me, too.

But don't forget...

to brush your teeth after you eat them.

Yes, of course...

He's Ryosuke Shiina.

"Ryosuke Shiina (38)" -A superb dentist.

Nice to meet you.

And over there is...

"Mizuki Kawaguchi (27)" -Mizuki Kawaguchi

one of my students, she also works in the library.

Hello.

Did you say student? Then, you must be...

Forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself.

"Reiko Ando (43)" -My name is Reiko Ando.

I do research at a junior college

in Osaka in the Japanese Literature Department.

For goodness sakes, you're an expert!

We're members of a linked verses group from Osaka,

we came to Matsue on a poetry composing trip.

You don t say...

Our other member is over there talking.

That's Gozo Ushikubo, he's an investor.

"Gozo Ushikubo (51)" -Which means the price of this stock...

will keep rising.

My name is Kogoro Mouri,

I'm a private investigator from Tokyo.

Kogoro Mouri?

Kogoro Mouri, you mean you're that...

Famous private detective?

Oh, yes.

Does that mean

that famous private detectives make a lot of money?

Well, not exactly.

Anyway, you...

Excuse me, my name is Tomonaga.

I work for Naniwa Securities at their Okayama branch.

Previously on another job, Mr. Ushikubo and...

Hey, you.

Isn't it time for you to leave?

You're right.

I enjoy poetry and I sometimes compose my own poetry.

I'd like to join you one day.

Mr. Mouri, I hope you have a nice visit.

Excuse me, Ms. Reiko, what is that big book?

Oh, you mean this?

This is called "Dictionary of What Things are Called".

We use it when we're composing poetry.

Would you like to look through it?

Yes!

It looks very interesting.

Hey, look at these shoes!

See, they look just like Mr. Shiina's shoes.

They're trekking shoes.

But then, those are for professionals,

while mine's are just an imitation.

Those shoes of yours are so fancy, they look pretty expensive.

Even though you're broke.

By the way, Mr. Mouri,

why don't you join us for dinner?

That's a great idea!

We'll get to hear stories from Japan's greatest detective,

what a rare opportunity!

Japan's greatest?

I'll accept your invitation, then.

Don't you just love these hot springs?

Yes.

Me, too.

It feels so good,

my body feels like it's turning into melted chocolate.

Exactly.

Excuse me, Mr. Yagisawa.

Yes?

What is that linked verses you were talking about back there?

How can I explain...

Simply put,

it's a kind of game where several people compose poems

and link them together.

For example, Conan, you compose a 5-7-5 haiku.

The next person would add another 7-7 poem to it.

Then another person would add another 5-7-5 poem to it.

And so forth, linking one poem to the other.

Is it different from haiku?

The first 5-7-5 is called hokku.

I suppose you could consider it haiku.

After all, It would contain the season word.

I see.

What kind of poem do you like, Mr. Yagisawa?

I like poems that are humorous.

What about you, Mr. Shiina?

Huh? Me?

Let's see...

My favorite poems are those with feelings,

like how a father feels for his daughter.

Pardon me for asking but do you have children, Mr. Shiina?

I have a daughter,

but my wife took her when she left me.

Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't blame her though, it was all my fault.

I was over my head in debt.

Thank you for listening.

That was wonderful, Mr. Yagisawa!

Here you go Mr. Mouri, drink up.

Well, that's nice of you.

By the way, have you made plans for tomorrow?

Oh, that's right.

I was meaning to ask.

Conan, have you ever heard of Yaegaki Shrine?

Ms. Reiko told me about it while we were in the bath,

why don't we go there tomorrow?

We're going to the Tiffany Garden Museum of Art tomorrow morning.

Then in the afternoon...

Yaegaki Shrine...

I believe it houses the God of marriage.

It's famous for it's Mirror Lake fortune telling, right?

Yes.

Well then, we'll have to go there.

All of four of us except Mr. Ushikubo are all single.

But Ran already has someone special.

Isn't that right?

I'm sure there's a bus that goes to Yaegaki Shrine

from the Matsue Onsen station in the morning.

You can go to the art museum in the afternoon.

All right, then. That's what we'll do.

Good grief. Look at those two, acting like you're in love.

Now, now.

Ms. Reiko, listen.

Yes?

Don't you think it's about time we picked the location

where we're going to compose our first poem?

You're right.

On that note, Mr. Shiina.

Yes.

The first place for the poem composition?

We're going to pick

where we're to go to compose the hokku portion of the poem.

I remember hokku is the 5-7-5 haiku that starts the linked poem.

Yes, the rule is to compose the poem

by describing the scene in front of you.

Oh, I nearly forgot.

This is for you, Mr. Mouri.

It's an introduction to linked poetry that I wrote.

There's a picture of us inside, too.

I see, you're all here.

There, I'm finished.

Mizuki, can you get me my hat over there?

Okay.

Here you are.

Thank you.

All right. Mr. Ushikubo, you first.

Okay.

Since we're taking turns according to age,

so the next one is me.

Let's see...

The closest one is...

Which one is it?

All right, please open it.

Matsue Castle.

Mine is Gessho Temple.

Shiominawate.

Which means...

I'm at the art museum.

All right, then. We'll leave the hotel at 9 tomorrow morning.

And return by 11:30.

When everyone gets back, we'll move to Tamatsukuri Spa

and link the poems...

Is something the matter?

No, it's just that I wear contact lenses

and my eyes dry very easily.

So I always need my prescription eye drops.

Oh, here they are.

I'm such a scatter brain,

I forget where I leave it all the time.

If it's so important,

you should always carry a spare!

I always carry an extra one in my bag...

Oh, that's right. I have to make a phone call!

Isn't he a busy fellow?

He's probably just found another victim.

His motive for joining our group

was partially to get our money.

He's really a louse!

Listen up, Yagisawa!

You're the one who can't afford to lose your business!

That...

Get it all ready by next week

or else you'll lose your business, understand?

Yes, I know.

"Yaegaki Shrine"

It says that if the paper doesn't sink within fifteen minutes,

"Mirror Lake" It says that if the paper doesn't sink within fifteen minutes,

you'll find the love of your life. "Mirror Lake"

you'll find the love of your life.

And if it sinks close to you,

it means that the person you're looking for is close by.

Let's try it.

That's why I didn't want to bring her here.

Ran.

I don't know how it's going to turn out,

but...

Sorry to keep you waiting, Conan!

What a cute puppy.

Ran.

Shall we go?

Hello.

Oh, dad.

What?

What? Mr. Ushikubo's dead?

What?

"Karamete Park"

It's Mr. Ushikubo.

I'm certain of it.

I see, so it is.

By the looks of it, he's been beaten to death.

He was hit on the back of the head several times

with a hard, blunt object.

"Officer Hirose"

Are you by any chance...

My name's Mouri, I'm a private detective.

It looks like Mr. Ushikubo tried to protect his head

with his left hand when he was attacked.

That's how his watch was cracked.

10:05 am.

I'm pretty sure we can assume that's the time of the attack.

Yes. And about the victim's right hand...

His index finger is extended Iike he was pointing to something.

Bamboo...

It could be a dying message.

There's blood on the tip of his finger.

And it looks like he touched something with it.

There's no blood here.

One of the pages has been ripped out!

"Autumn surges, there's no sorrow in my life."

-You little... -That hurts!

Don't touch the evidence!

"Matsue Police Station"

Sorry to keep you waiting.

"Officer Yasugi" -I'm Yasugi from Shimane Prefectural Police.

"Officer Tsubaki" -And this is my assistant, Officer Tsubaki.

-Hey, where's that kid? -And beside him is Officer Hirose...

of the Matsue Police Station.

Well, he was asking everybody questions

and then he ran off somewhere.

Good grief.

The reason I asked all of you to come here

is I need to know where you were when Mr. Ushikubo was killed,

which is approximately 10:05.

What are you insinuating?

From what Mr. Mouri tells me,

you all had a motive for killing Mr. Ushikubo.

Everything's bound to come out sooner or later,

so I think it's better for everyone to just tell the truth.

I was at the Tiffany Garden Museum of Art.

I went there to write a poem.

"Tiffany Garden Museum of Art" -There's a piece called Deer's Window.

I wrote a poem while I was looking at it.

Even Gods will gather and gaze upon Deer's Window.

Yes, I do remember him.

He dropped some coins and leaned over the pond

near the fountain in the English Garden over there.

Do you remember the time?

I'm sure it was a little past 11.

Thank you!

What are these marks?

I was at Gessho Temple at that time.

You probably know there's huge statue of a turtle there, right?

Yes.

"Gessho Temple" -I spotted a praying mantis by that statue.

To the huge turtle, a mantis does raise its ax in reverence forsooth,

is what I wrote.

The time was almost 10:05 am.

Yes, I remember.

He stood in front of that statue for a long time thinking.

Do you remember what time it was?

I'm sure it was 11:00 am.

11:00 am.

I was looking at the samurai residences at Shiominawate.

I was there from about 10 am until 11 am.

"Samurai residences at Shiominawate" -I don't have any witnesses,

but I sat in the rest area thinking up a poem.

And did you come up with something?

Yes.

Soft and gently where the sun shines upon

the dancing autumn leaves.

This is it.

Huh?

From the rest area,

these plants would hide the autumn leaves from view.

I went for a stroll along the lake

and then went to the Prefectural Art Museum.

But I didn't write a poem.

Why not?

Because on this outing,

I had each of them write a poem

I was going to select which one to use

for the start of the linked poem.

No one remembers seeing Ms. Reiko.

That's right, that memo pad...

There was stock information written in it.

The page that was torn out,

something must've been written on it

while that person was talking to that person.

"Hisatoshi Tomonaga" -Yes, Mr. Ushikubo seemed quite happy.

He jotted it down in his notebook.

I see, thank you very much!

All right. Now, I have all the information!

It seems like none of you has a solid alibi.

By the way, have you found the murder weapon?

We're still searching the area.

And we'll also search the places you all went to,

so please don't leave Matsue until I say you can.

All right.

I'd like to continue our linked poem session

as a tribute to the late Mr. Ushikubo.

That's a good idea. Let's do it.

The linked poetry session...

What? You want me to join their group?

Yes! You're sharp,

So you'd be able to figure out who the killer is

just by watching them.

Well, sure. But...

That's a great idea!

Please do it!

I'm absolutely positive one of those four killed him

and we're going to find out at that poetry session!

Next Conan's Hint:

"Hokku"
