Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

An uninhabited island and the bottom of the sea,

Conan and Heiji's theories explode.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

A television program pitting the best detectives from the East and West

brings us along with Heiji Hattori here to Okinawa.

We accompany the filming crew to an uninhabited island

where an unidentified body and a mysterious message is found.

Then a female member of the film crew, Yoshie Taira,

is murdered and a mysterious message is found near her body

then the boat we came on

and the captain disappeared.

"Princess of the Island and the Dragon King's Palace (Part 2)"

What? An anchor

on the bottom of the sea where Miss Taira was diving?

Are you sure about that?

Yeah.

The chain was cut and it was rusty

but it was a ship's anchor.

Maybe it was from that man's ship,

the man who was found dead here a year ago.

Yes, I bet you're right!

He probably got to this island on it

and he decided to wait out the storm in here

but the chain broke and the boat drifted away.

No!

There was a lot of mollusks and sea weed on the anchor,

it must've been down there for at least four or five years.

Four or five years.

It's been about that long, right?

Several incidents happened at the mayor's house around that time.

-Yeah. -What do you mean incidents?

"Noburou Ikema (24), Crew" -The first time was five years ago.

The mayor's only daughter,

Miss Miyako, was kidnapped.

A year later, a gang of robbers broke into the mayor's home,

they took a gold screen which was a family heirloom.

According to the mayor and his butler who took the call from the robbers,

the kidnappers and the robbers were the same group.

So, what happened to them?

The mayor refused to pay the ranso and the money for the screen

so they were never caught, and both Miss Miyako

and the screen were never seen again, or so I've heard.

It was a terrible blow to the mayor

his daughter was kidnapped short! After his wife passed away

and one of his maids was killed by the robbers.

The butler was so scared, he quit.

People started to bad mouth the mayor

saying he was a heartless money monger

and on top of that, the corpse of a man who starved to death

was found on this island the mayor owns,

along with that mysterious message.

And now this...

I'm beginning to think the "guso's messenger" really exists.

Hey listen. The words carved on the pillar

didn't they say "The princess lies in A not B",

am I right?

You're right.

Don't you think that the princess might mean the mayor's daughter?

Are you saying she's been killed

and is buried somewhere on this island?

That's right.

She came back as a messenger from the other world

and killed Miss Taira.

If you're afraid of ghosts, you can use that knife.

There's an old legend that women kept a dagger in their mouth

so that that their souls wouldn't be sucked out through their mouth.

And it could be used for self protection.

This is very interesting.

Take a look at this tea cup!

It looks like somebody used it as an ashtray.

There are more than one kind of cigarettes

and the water on the bottom isn't completely dry yet.

Which means that just before we got to this island,

there was another group of people here.

That's right, and there wasn't just one or two of them

they killed a woman

and now they're hiding somewhere on this island.

I'm talking about the messengers of death.

Come on, you're kidding, right?

Are you saying there's a group of killers

on this island?

I'm just saying that it's possible.

They could be watching us from somewhere...

waiting to steal our souls.

I don't believe it.

Then they might already be inside this house.

That's not possible!

We all checked to make sure nobody was inside, right?

But there're a lot of broken windows in this place.

It'd have been easy to sneak in while we were busy talking.

Then I think we should split up into groups

and search the place one more time.

I agree, it won't help to stay here and panic.

Then Mr. Kume, you and Mr. Ikema and Mr. Daito check the second floor.

Okay.

Mr. Taketomi and we will check the first floor.

Yes, alright.

I mean, you'd be at a disadvantage if you got attacked

since you'd be the only male with two girls to protect.

Huh? You've got to be kidding!

You're the one that they'll be protecting.

No kidding. Really?

-Karate? -Yes.

I took first place in the city competition

I hold a second rank in aikido.

Impressive, I feel very safe...

Yes. Thank you.

If we come across any bad guys, you can ave them to us!

We made the right decision making him join us.

Yeah, he looked the weakest.

Okay, Heiji.

This is the last room.

Don't keep us in suspense, open it up!

Aybe it wasn't a good idea after all...

Is anybody in here?

Hey...

No body...

seems to be inside.

I think you're right.

This room's not like the others, it's really big.

I think the mayor's wife used this room,

see, there's a picture of them together.

It's really corroded...

Now, look what you did, Heiji.

There's two pictures in here.

What is this? There's a picture taken with a young girl.

Do you think the mayor was having an affair with her?

No, you're wrong.

That's Miss Miyako, the mayor's only daughter.

She looked just like her mother, they were both

fair skinned and good natured, everyone liked her

when she was kidnapped five years ago

while still attending junior college and then never found.

Everyone was shocked.

Didn't you say you work for a television station in Kyushu?

How do you know so much then?

Yoshiko Matsumoto the maid that worked for the mayor is my cousin.

She used to talk about them all the time.

That maid, is she the one...

Who was killed during the robbery.

Yes, one of the robbers killed her during the robbery four years ago.

Speaking of family, Ikema told me

his mother and the mayor's wife were sisters

so that makes him and Miyako cousins.

This castle in the back ground of the picture,

I've never seen it before, which castle is it?

Oh, that's not a castle, that's the mayor's house.

It's a huge mansion.

According to my cousin, when the house was first built,

Miss Miyako was still little and she was so happy.

She said she felt like a princess in a castle.

A princess...

In a castle.

That settles it, the princess carved on that pillar really is...

Miss Miyako?

Speaking of strange messages, there's some here, too.

What?

I think they were written by Miyako.

What?

See, there's three.

You're right, it looks it was written with crayons.

The top one says "Chiyoni",

20 centimeters below that it says "Kachan",

and on the very bottom, it says "me".

Judging by all the lines near the word "me",

I'd say she was comparing heights with someone when she was little.

That's a relief, you had me scared there for awhile.

I know "Kachan" means mother,

but for a well bred young lady, she certainly uses common language.

No. I don't think she meant mother...

What?

Take a look!

They're very faint but you can still make out some words

on this door written with the same crayon.

It says "Mama's Room".

You're right!

Then who'd she mean?

Who are these people, "Kachan" and "Chiyoni"?

Beats me.

Maybe they were her friends from school.

I don't think so!

She was still very young when she wrote this,

her friends wouldn't be that tall!

Yes, I see your point...

Those words are written on this door too!

The room over there's Chiyoni's room and this is Kachan's room.

And that's not all, there're strange drawing by the words, too.

Kachan's drawing is a bird.

Chiyoni's drawing looks like an eel.

You know, looking at a little girl's drawings in this dark is kind of...

Creepy.

Well,

seeing as how these two have rooms here on this uninhabited island,

they must've come here with her often.

When the rescue boat comes to take us back to the main island,

I guess we'll just have to go ask the mayor personally about these two.

They may be involved in this murder.

What was that sound?

I think it was Kume...

It came from upstairs, what happened?

It couldn't be the killers.

Darn.

Hey, what's the matter?

Did you find the killer?

No, it's not that.

That guy let out a scream and he fell back inla panic

he saw what was behind the curtain,

this painting.

Look, isn't the model in that painting Miyako?

You're right, it looks just like the girl in the photo.

It was probably done by her mother,

Yoshiko told me she was quite an artist.

Yoshiko?

Yes, she's my cousin

and she worked as a maid in the mayor's household.

I see.

That means that there's four people here who are connected to the mayor.

Did you say four?

Yes, my mother was the mayor's wife's sister,

the director's cousin was the maid,

Kume was Miyako's classmate in elementary, junior high and high school.

And Mr. Daito over there was a childhood friend of the mayor's wife.

Childhood friends?

Yes, when I went to visit Mrs. Kaneshiro's grave last year with my mother,

he was there, too.

My mother asked and he told her they were childhood friends.

But my mother said she didn't remember him,

so he could've been lying.

I don't blame her.

Their ages were far apart, that's why she didn't remember.

If your mother and Mrs. Kaneshiro were sisters,

then you must've come to this island before, too.

No. I never came to this island, in fact,

I rarely went to the mayor's house to visit.

The reason was, he was a very wealthy man and we felt uncomfortable.

I only saw Miyako a few times when she was very young.

I wonder why Mr. Kume panicked like that

when he saw her painting though?

Beats me.

Maybe he thought he was seeing her ghost?

There's been gossip that she was killed.

Well, anyway

it doesn't look like anybody suspicious is hiding out in this house,

so let's all just stay together in one room

and wait for the rescue boat.

Don't you think it's taking a little too long?

Yeah.

But you know old Kogoro.

You can bet he's found himself a girl and they've gone out drinking.

The old good for nothing.

What was that?

Maybe it's...

Yes, I knew it! It's the rescue boat!

We're saved!

Hey, there!

Here, we're over here!

Hey!

Something's wrong with that boat.

Yeah, there're no lights on

and it's not docked right.

"I'm the 'guso's messenger'."

What a horrible way to die.

The killer used something like a hard pipe and hit him so many times,

even after he died.

How awful.

Then the killer tied his body to the side of the boat

and wrote those words

"I Death's messenger".

Whoever did this really hated him.

Who would do such a thing?

So there is somebody else here.

Somebody besides us is here on the island or in the ocean.

Somebody who enjoys killing is hiding out somewhere!

You're right.

When the boat rammed into the landing,

we were all inside the house.

Whoever piloted this boat is still around here, I'm sure of that.

Yes, that would be the so called "Death's messenger".

No, that's not necessarily true.

Conan.

I just looked around inside,

there's a teeny tiny thing

that looks like a television by the steering wheel.

I checked the screen and it looks Iike this boat

just went from this landing to the ocean and then came back again!

Oh, I see, it was on auto pilot!

That way, no one has to be steering.

But kid, there're currents in the ocean,

you wouldn't be able to control

how the boat crashed into the landing by auto pilot.

That's where you're wrong, it doesn't have to be exactly right.

The flow of the current would affect the boat

by about 50 to 100 meters.

To have the boat come to this side of the island,

all you'd have to do is set the auto pilot to move along the shoreline,

then the boat would move along the reef and crash into the landing.

Look at that. You can see the side of the bottom's scraped.

That proves the boat moved along the reef scraping it.

By using the auto pilot,

anyone would've been able to commit the crime.

No matter what time the boat was set to leave this landing.

So you see, any one of us could have done it.

Are you trying to tell us that...

That the killer is one of us?

That's right.

When the four of us left the boat to look for Miss Taira,

you said you all left the boat right after us, didn't you?

Well, it would've been possible

for the man who left last to commit the crime.

So who was it?

Not me!

It wasn't me either.

I was the last one to get off the boat.

Then that means you did it...

But any one of you could've come back after I'd gone, right?

And another thing you shouldn't forget, young detective.

When that woman Miss Taira was killed...

That's right, I remember what you said!

About the words in the sand where her body was found,

you said it'd be impossible for us to do it,

since we were on the opposite side of the island.

Yeah, you definitely said that

since the words were written where the last wave of the high tide receded,

they must've been written shortly before we found her

when the tide was low, otherwise, they would've been washed away.

Besides, the words on both scenes were the exact same,

so they were written by the same person, right?

Then the killer couldn't possibly be one of us.

If there was more than one killer,

they might have talked it over and decided to do it the same way.

It may have been part of their plan

to make us suspect each other of the crime.

Well the boat's back now anyway.

That's right. Don't you think it'd be better if we discussed this

after we get back to the main island?

Thing is, while we were taking the captain down,

I looked around the boat and saw that the fuel tank's pretty much empty.

And that's not all.

The radio's been broken and all our things are gone,

which means the killer wants to keep us on this island

and is planning to do something.

What do you mean...

You mean another murder?

Yes.

If you don't want to get killed, we better all go back to the house

and wait for the rescue boat to arrive, that's the only thing we can do.

Good grief, how long do we have to wait for that rescue boat?

Who knows.

Alright Heiji.

We'll see you back there later.

-Alright. -Be careful!

Don't worry.

Listen, Kudo, something about this isn't right.

I know.

With the first victim Miss Taira,

the killer took the time to fold her arms neatly over her chest

and close her eyes.

But the second victim, the captain, was beaten to death.

Their killers might've been different but still,

the methods are drastically different.

Another thing bothers me,

the way Miss Taira and the captain behaved before they were killed.

Yeah, she deliberately chose to dive

where the current was fast, knowing how dangerous it was.

And the captain circled around the island until the very last minute.

And there was seabed exploratory equipment on board too,

he must've been searching for something.

And it was probably attached to that anchor I found.

But what was it?

But besides that, Kudo.

Remember the words written on the back of the chairs

in the room we were all in?

Yes, the ones written by a child in crayon.

The one I was sitting on, had "Me" written on it,

and Ran's had "Mama".

But on the back of the one I was sitting on was...

"Mr. Kaneshiro".

The little girl wrote it, didn't she?

Then Mr. Kaneshiro would be her father then, wouldn't he?

I wonder why she didn't write Papa?

And those were the only chairs with names on them.

Another thing bothers me, there weren't any chairs

for Kachan and Chiyoni who she compared heights with.

I know.

It seems strange that they'd have their own rooms but no chairs.

Kachan and Chiyoni.

What's that mean?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Castle"

The next episode will conclude this case.

-You are the killer. -You are the killer.
