What lies in one's heart is a mystery to us all.

Star and snow glitter on the two.

Snow falls silently at night.

A frightening suit of armor looms up from the darkness.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

In the warring era,

military commander Hidetomo Okikatsu advised

his lord Genbu Ohara, who was a tyrant,

to stop oppressing the people.

But this angered Genbu

and he ordered the Okikatsu clan to be disbanded.

Filled with despair,

Hidetomo put on his suit of armor

and killed Genbu,

then he committed suicide by stabbing himself in the throat.

Hidetomo's ghost still wanders about

and it is said that whoever sees it will die an untimely death.

This Okikatsu Festival is held

to appease the spirit of Hidetomo Okikatsu

For your information, the rainwear of straw worn in the dance

symbolizes the suit of armor worn by Hidetomo

when he killed himself.

Good grief.

The hot springs just ever that mountain,

why do we have to sit through this boring festival?

But this is so surreal.

Good grief.

This is the 500th anniversary of Hidetomo's death.

Please relax and enjoy the evening.

Thanks.

Are you satisfied now, Ran?

We'd better start heading for the hot spring already.

Excuse me.

I just heard that the road to the hot springs

have been closed due to heavy snow.

Are you sure?

What're we going to do, dad?

Don't ask me.

I guess we'll just have to find some place

around here to spend the night.

But I didn't see any inns around here.

Excuse me. Maybe I can help,

there's a house up ahead owned by the Daimon family.

I'm heading there now.

You can come with me if you want.

Thanks.

"Frightening Legend On A Snowy Night (Part 1)"

Are you sure it'll be all right for us to go along?

Yes. In fact, I'd prefer you come with me.

Huh?

The head of the Daimon family

is the president of Daimon Industries.

That company's well known.

The president is a man who'd do anything for money.

He's even a tyrant in his own home, he and his oldest son,

who is next in line to be president, are always arguing.

And that son's wife prefers partying to helping in the home.

I've heard rumors that a divorce is imminent.

You sure know a lot.

I'm the second son. My name's Yoshiro Daimon.

I haven't been home for quite awhile now.

This is quite a mansion.

They must get a lot taken.

-Huh? -In taxes.

Kazuki, I'm home.

You're looking good.

Yoshiro. Why'd you come back now after all this time?

Is that any way to greet your younger brother?

We haven't seen each other for five years.

Young master, please come inside.

Hatsuho, you keep out of this.

Yoshiro, who are these people?

I met them at the Hidetomo Festival.

It was snowing heavily and they didn't have a place to stay.

You come back out of the blue

and you bring strangers with you on top of that!

Forgive me.

I forgot to introduce myself. I'm from Tokyo and I...

What's all the commotion?

Father.

Yoshiro, you've finally come home, I'm so happy.

Good evening, father.

You over there,

aren't you the famous private detective, Kogoro Mouri?

That's right.

Private detective?

Kogoro Mouri...

I'm one of your greatest fans.

This must be destiny. Please do spend the night.

Hatsuho.

Prepare the guest rooms for Mr. Mouri's party and Yoshiro.

Yes, sir.

Please follow me.

Mr. Mouri, you and your party can stay in this room.

Master Yoshiro, your room will be down the hall.

You can enter the garden through this back door.

It is very pretty. Everything is white with snow.

Please walk through it.

Thank you. We will.

Please forgive my brother and his wife.

They behaved terribly back there.

You don't have to apologize.

We're the ones who barged in unexpectedly.

Excuse me, madam. Where's the toilet?

It's right down the hall, there, at the far end.

The light switch is hard to find, so I'll go with you.

Thank you, I'd appreciate that.

I'll prepare some tea so please relax.

You needn't bother.

But I'd sure appreciate some.

I'll join you later.

This.

Thanks.

For goodness sakes, dad.

Here it is, the toilet.

Thank you. This sure is a huge house.

It certainly is.

What's down that way?

Everyone else's rooms.

Master Kazuki's audio room is down the hall

and the kitchen is in front of it.

Next to the kitchen,

we have a door that leads into the garden.

You can go in now.

We wouldn't want you to have an accident.

Right!

This is a very impressive home you have.

I am honored to be staying in a place like this.

No, this is just an old place.

We're always having to repair things.

Sir, madam says she isn't feeling well.

She's resting.

What, again! And just when Mr. Mouri is visiting.

Please don't get upset on my account.

I don't think mother can be bothered with dinner either tonight.

Kayoko!

Don't be like that. I think it'd be better if they knew.

Every year on the anniversary of Hidetomo's death,

at 12 midnight, my mother-in-law sits

in front of the altar in her room praying.

Supposedly, that's the time he killed himself.

I heard her once and it sounded so eerie.

Ever since then, whenever this day comes,

I climb into bed and cover my head with the blanket.

Mother really is quite frail.

I wish you'd be more considerate.

Kazuki!

You needn't worry about your mother.

Rather than spending your time worrying about her,

you should worry about your job!

Is the food to your liking?

It's delicious. The rice is good, too.

It is customary in this household

to cook the rice over a "kamado".

Really? I've never had kamado cooked rice before.

The burnt part was delicious!

By the way, father.

About the appointment of the next president...

We're in the middle of dinner.

We'll discuss that later.

Yoshiro, what are you doing now?

I'm a guitarist.

What? Such foolishness, quit that immediately

and come back home.

I think it's about time you started

considering helping my business.

Yoshiro.

What kind of music do you play?

Flamenco.

Really? I'd like to hear you play.

Mr. Mouri. Excuse me.

May I have your autograph?

The truth is, I'm a big fan of yours too.

You are, are you? It'd be my pleasure then!

-I'm so thrilled! -Yippee!

What a happy go lucky pair.

It seems the atmosphere in this house

has also brightened up thanks to Hatsuho.

Oh, it's just that I don't let things upset me.

Hatsuho, how long have you been working here?

Just over a year.

Your family's a very old family

and there's so much to remember, I'm having a hard time.

Oh, I see you have another one.

Yes, this is for Master Yoshiro.

Huh? You want my autograph too?

Of course. After all,

you're going to be a very famous guitarist someday!

I hope so.

If you become famous,

signing autographs will be the least of your worries,

Look at me!

I'll remember that.

Huh? You're left handed.

-Yes. -What are these figures?

I gave you the benefit of the doubt

and waited until the very last minute

but I guess it was a waste of time.

I can't relinquish my position to you at this rate!

Well, dad, your methods are rather high handed themselves.

I didn't ask you for your opinion!

Then, who are you going to name as president instead of me?

You're both two of a kind.

I came back here today

because I wanted to settle things with my dad once and for all.

Settle things?

Dad wants me to become one of the company's executives.

But everything is money, money, money.

He doesn't even try to understand how other people feel.

I left five years ago because I hated how pushy he was.

Well, he does look very overbearing.

The truth is, I'm going to Spain next month.

I don't intend on coming back to Japan

until I've become a first rate guitarist,

I may never see my father again.

That's why I thought I'd better come back

and try to make him accept the way I choose to live my life.

That's what you'd like us to believe. Isn't it, Yoshiro?

But the truth is you came back

to seize control of the company, didn't you?

You're out of your mind!

I'd never have left in the first place if I intended to do that!

I wonder about that.

Madam.

What's all the fuss?

Gosh, everybody makes me so mad!

I'm going back to my place!

I almost forgot. Mr. Mouri.

I'd like to show you something interesting. It'll lift your spirits.

That's where I live.

I see. This is very nice!

It's always so noisy at the main house

so I spend most of my time here relaxing.

Look at that.

That suit of armor looks so imposing.

You're right.

What do you think? Impressive, isn't it?

That's my pride and joy.

It's Hidetomo Okikatsu's suit of armor.

What?

So this belongs to the festival's hero.

So it's in your possession.

That suit of armor is cursed.

Tatsuko!

What are you doing here?

Hidetomo's spirit still roams this earth.

Those who see it are said to die untimely deaths.

These are so Hidetomo's feet don't get cold.

Please use these socks.

Stop that! I don't approve!

How dare you say that to me?

I pray to Hidetomo on the anniversary of his death every year

and give offerings in penance of the horrible way you do business!

So don't you ever say anything like that to me again!

Tonight is the 500th anniversary of Hidetomo's death.

Something might happen tonight.

Here in this very house.

Mr. Mouri.

I've decided to postpone talking to my father until tomorrow.

I see.

Why don't we drink more of that local sake

since we have the time?

Sounds good to me!

Yoshiro!

Mother. I thought you were asleep.

Yoshiro, Hidetomo must have brought you here tonight.

You're the only one who can protect this family.

Take this.

My mother was keeping articles like these.

Allow me.

December 10th 1996, Kenichi Saegusa,

president of Saegusa Industries commits suicide.

Daimon Industries used dirty methods

to deliberately drive the company into bankruptcy.

This was behind the suicide!

That's the way father always does business.

But you don't know for sure that this article was completely right.

I understand you saw the suit of armor in father's room.

Yes.

The man who committed suicide...

He was the original owner.

The day that man committed suicide, December 10th, that's today.

His factory was left untouched, it's falling apart.

Some people have seen his ghost there.

Spooky, isn't it?

Hidetomo Okikatsu and the owner of his suit of armor,

the anniversary of both their death is December 10th, unbelievable.

Could it be the curse of the suit of armor?

It's mere coincidence. That's all!

Besides, time's a wasting.

Let's enjoy our drinks and take in the beautiful snowy scenery.

It's stopped snowing.

It's so beautiful.

If only the snow could fall in our hearts

and cover everything up like this, it would be so nice.

I nearly forgot.

Your beddings been laid out so you can turn in.

Thank you, Hatsuho.

Come on, dad. You must be tired after all that driving.

You'd better get some rest.

Hey!

-I'm going to go get a drink. -What?

I meant water.

You'll get the inheritance money if your father dies, won't you?

But I don't think he's going to die very soon.

You're right.

What I don't understand is

why did that Yoshiro come back so suddenly.

He's not leaving Japan, that's a lie!

I'll bet he's going to try and make good with your father.

There wouldn't be any trouble

if only you could automatically become president.

And what about you? You married me for the money, didn't you?

How dare you!

If you get a hangover and we have to spend another night here,

-I'll be very angry! -Hey, Conan!

Ran here's in a real bad mood,

we'd better get to bed and fast!

Dad, you're talking too loud!

Pops, let's go to bed!

Are you sleeping in the audio room again tonight?

You love music more than me.

Hatsuho. I'd like a cup of my usual coffee.

Could you bring it to the audio room?

Yes, sir.

Nanmandabu...

Master Daimon is...

What on earth's the matter?

Master Daimon is dead in his room!

Are you sure?

You kids, stay here!

Conan!

Is something wrong?

Master Yoshiro.

Your father, in his room...

Father?

Father!

Don't go inside!

It looks like he was stabbed once

in the chest with a sharp object.

He died instantaneously.

Pops, look!

The suit of armor is gone!

And so is the sword.

It appears Mr. Daimon was killed

while he was having a glass of brandy.

Who did this?

Even the socks...

This is the only entrance to this place

and on top of that, there were no footprints leading here.

What's that?

I get it.

That door hid the footprints.

And on the way here,

the man made hill and hedges cast a shadow over the footprints,

that's why we didn't see them.

Sheet?

Gosh!

Why are you always wandering around like this?

There's a huge footprint over there!

It doesn't look like a human one.

What in the world is this?

I told you.

What huge footprints.

Hidetomo.

It's Hidetomo! I saw him!

I saw him walking around in his suit of armor last night.

But the curse didn't fall on me although I saw him,

it fell on Genichiro instead.

At any rate,

these footprints seem to lead to the back door of the main house.

We'll go back to the main house the way we came

but make sure you don't erase any of those footprints,

let's see where those footprints lead.

The killer came this way?

Kazuki!

He said he was coming here to listen to music

-but he never returned. -What?

Kazuki...

There another way in?

No, there isn't.

Gosh! I guess we'll have to break it down!

Mr. Mouri...

Kazuki...

Don't go in there!

Hidetomo was angry after all.

I don't believe it.

Kazuki!

It's Hidetomo's curse. The curse!

No, this is not curse.

But who in the world did this and how?
