The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Codes and tricks are unraveled.

The seven steps of decorative Hina dolls.

The mystery of the burglar that is hidden in the red steps.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Look, look at that Hina doll!

How beautiful!

Yes.

Oh, so Girls' Day Festival is right around the corner.

I really like that Hina doll.

But, you've already got a nice one at home, Ayumi.

Hey, did you forget?

Last year you dropped the girl Hina doll

and its hands and neck broke off, right?

Oh, that's right!

I'm sorry, Ayumi.

But, I guess you can have it repaired.

Of course she did.

But while the craftsman was repairing the doll,

he got hurt and blood splattered on the face of the doll.

When the doll was finally repaired,

Peach the dog next door

came up to Ayumi holding the doll's neck in its jaw.

The paint that was used to cover the blood on the face

was peeled off,

its hair was disheveled

and it was wearing a dreadful facial expression.

Hey.

Seriously, that doll is cursed!

Yes. Ever since then, the doll set

was securely packed away in a box by Ayumi's father

who was worried that the dolls may bring upon misfortune.

Hey!

I hear that it is still way deep inside the closet...

It's not cursed.

Peach brought the doll to me wanting to show it to me as soon as possible.

And, the neck of the doll just happened to fall off then.

-Hey. -Hey, Ayumi.

Don't cry.

Just playing.

Peach's owner asked an acquaintance of his for me,

so that person is going to give me a set of Girls' Festival dolls

that she isn't using anymore!

It has seven rows of dolls and is larger than the one I had!

She says I could have the doll set if I can line them up correctly

without looking at anything for reference!

But you'd have to line up quite a number of dolls

if the set has seven rows to it.

Can you handle it alone?

I'll be just fine,

because I memorized how the dolls are line up over and over!

And besides, I'm not going to do it alone.

"Girls' Festival Dolls in the Sunset (Part 1)"

Hi, Ayumi!

So, did you memorize how the dolls are to be lined up?

You didn't look too confident when you came last time so...

Yep, no problem!

Okay, then I guess I'll have you line them up right now.

Are these all boxes with dolls in them?

Why do you have to memorize how the dolls

are supposed to be lined up, though?

Because she thinks that Ayumi's going to make a mistake.

The fact is, she doesn't want to give it away.

That's not exactly it.

We're just checking to see

if she's a girl that will take good care of the dolls.

Learning to line the dolls up correctly

will give rise to more affection towards the dolls, no?

After all, they are very precious dolls

that were bought for me.

I wish you luck then, little lady!

Thank you!

There.

Oh, Genta, that's not right.

The man with the bow and arrow belongs more to the top!

Yeah, but the more the merrier!

No! You've got to line them up correctly.

And, while you're at it, that old man is the minister of the left

and belongs on the fourth step to the very right.

The young one that looks a lot like him is the minister of the right

and belongs on the same step to the very left,

so don't get them wrong!

The left belongs to the right and the right belongs to the left...

You know so much despite being a boy.

I helped Ran a lot when I was a kid.

You used to line them up when you were a kid too, didn't you?

Oh, didn't I tell you?

I was sent off to the States to study as early as I can remember

so this is the first time I'm even touching these dolls.

It seems my parents got my older sister Girls' Festival dolls

but my parents died soon after I was born too, so...

Besides, my sister never took the dolls out

because they brought back sad memories.

How did your parents die?

Well, it seems that my sister was told that

they died of an accident during some research they were doing.

Come to think of it, I remember that

Pisco once mentioned that your parents were scientists.

Yes, although my mother was not all that well known.

My father, Atsushi Miyano

seems to have been pretty well-known in the field

as a mad scientist who was ousted from academic circles.

As a mad scientist?

Hey, what the heck are you talking about?

You developed that drug because you took over

what your parents were doing, didn't you?

Just what kind of drug was it?

A secret drug...

A secret drug that's used to revive the dead.

Will this answer satisfy you?

Then, don't tell me

the stuff that was written in the diary was...

Just as I thought.

The thing you were looking at on the computer the other day

was a clue to those people, wasn't it?

And after you traced the clue,

you found out where they stopped by

but aside from what you expected, while you were waiting for them,

you overslept.

I guess the story went something like this.

Yeah, well, sort of.

Well, you don't have to worry.

The goal of my research

has nothing to do with making a dream-like drug like that.

Most of the people here on earth

would find no value in the stuff I'm involved in now.

That's right.

It's like the Girl's Festival dolls that are important

only for the girls of this small country.

Let's go from the top. The Emperor, the Empress.

Three Court Ladies, the Five Musicians,

the two "guardians", the Minister of the Left and Minister of the Right.

And on the fifth step are the Three Pages,

expressing the human emotions of laughter, worry and anger!

You've passed with flying colors!

Then, are you going to give me this doll set?

Yes! I'll have it delivered to you by courier right away!

-All right! -Make sure you thank grandma later, okay?

Okay!

Shall we start cleaning up, then?

We went out of our way to line them up,

and we're going to put them away already?

It can't be helped, because it has to be packed to send out.

Oh, wait! Let's all take a picture in front of it first!

I brought daddy's digital camera with me!

Okay, here goes.

Say cheese!

My, I wonder who it is.

Oh, Mr. Tsumagari of Room 503.

Hello.

If it's about that thing, I'm sure my husband already refused.

Yes, but I just can't give it up.

I brought an appraiser with me today,

and I thought I'd ask him one more time.

How do you do?

This way, please.

This is really something.

This is a fine Hina doll set.

A famous doll craftsman in Kyoto seems to have made it.

And? How much will you sell it to me for?

Are you buying these dolls?

Too late, mister!

They were already given to Ayumi!

No, I don't have a daughter so I'm not interested in dolls!

What I want her to sell me

is the hanging scroll behind all of you.

That's the Thunder God that was drawn

by an artist of the Edo era named Tetsuyama.

I have the Wind God which is the other half of this hanging scroll,

and I really want to make it a complete set.

But, my husband says he has no intention of selling it,

and besides, it doesn't look to be something so valuable.

Huh? Don't you know?

How valuable that hanging scroll is!

Do you have any idea how much insurance

your husband's late father placed on it?

Well, no.

20,000,000 yen! It's 20,000,000 yen!

That much?

I told your husband that I would pay him double that.

Besides, I feel sorry for this hanging scroll.

If kept in this manner, the value of this scroll will go down.

I think it'd be wiser to sell it

to a professional collector like Mr. Tsumagari.

But my husband...

We will not sell it.

No matter how much money you dish out for it.

Mother...

Okay, I'll be back again tonight

just about the time your husband comes home.

I'm sure he'll agree to sell it.

If I mention the story about him making a great loss in stocks...

Let's put away the dolls and hurry on home too, then.

How nostalgic.

It's already been 10 years since we last decorated them.

The dolls look happy that they were taken out of the box

after such a long time too.

Mother.

Ayumi, would it be okay to decorate these dolls here

until Girls' Day Festival this year?

I guess mother wants to say goodbye to them.

Sure!

But, can I stay here a while longer then?

Because I have one more picture I want to take.

Why don't you have mother serve you some sweet sake then?

I thought we were out of the ingredients to make it from scratch.

Oh, no.

I have to go out soon too.

I'll go buy it then! The supermarket is right there!

Thank you very much!

Ayumi, isn't it about time you tell us?

Just what do you want to take a picture of?

A picture of all of us having a good time!

We just took one like that a while ago!

Something even better.

Which way was it?

This way.

Okay, just a little while more to go!

Come on, let's go.

Oh, okay!

I think it was just around this corner.

Isn't that the appraiser?

I thought you went home.

Well, I forgot my cell phone.

I called my cell phone, then the lady answered

and told me that it's in the living room.

She told me I could get it when I go over tonight,

but I may get important phone calls so...

I decided to pick it up now.

But, it seems that no one's home.

You mean grandma isn't home?

Oh, he's right. Nobody's home.

No one is here...

Hey, the door's not locked!

Grandma, are you sleeping?

What is this sound?

I think it's the sound of the fax machine.

It's coming from this room.

What the heck is going on?

The room is super messed up!

The fax seems to be from her husband.

Hey.

That doesn't seem to be the only place.

Burglary. A burglar broke in after we left.

By the looks of it, maybe the other rooms are messed up too.

Ayumi!

I'm glad. The dolls seem okay.

This room looks untouched.

I wonder where grandma is, though.

It seems that grandma's not the only one who disappeared!

Look!

The hanging scroll of the Thunder God is gone too.

Let's call the police! Please call the police!

Okay!

Grandma?

Oh, so I did miss you, after all.

Where were you, grandma?

Well, when I looked, I found out that I had also run out of sugar,

so I went to buy some.

By the way, why are you all looking pale-faced about?

Well, the thing is...

Setsuko, I thought you went out.

I forgot my wallet so I came back to get it.

The bedroom's...

Oh, my.

Oh, so we were just about to call the police...

Mr. Tsumagari!

What's up? I heard somebody scream.

Oh, well, the thing is...

A burglar, a burglar broke in!

Let's talk after the police get here.

I see, so from what I've gathered here...

Those children came here to decorate the Hina dolls,

and after that Mr. Tsumagari who extremely

wanted the hanging scroll that was stolen,

brought appraiser, Mr. Mie with him.

Officer, I don't really go for that remark.

And after the two men left, you five went out shopping.

Yeah, to buy the ingredients for making sweet sake!

Ingredients for sweet sake?

Mother was going to make sweet sake for everyone,

but we were out of the necessary ingredients.

Since I had to go out, I asked the children to go get it.

After that you were here alone, Grandma Yayoi?

Yes, exactly.

Did you notice anything then?

Like strange noises.

It was quiet,

until the cell phone that he forgot in the living room rang.

Yeah.

Oh, you forgot your cell phone in the living room?

We were shown into the living room first,

because the children were in the Japanese room.

But, we wanted to see the hanging scroll as soon as possible,

so forced our way immediately into the Japanese room.

And, after the phone call,

you seem to have gone out shopping too, but for what?

I went out to buy sugar.

I realized that we were out of sugar, so I rushed out to get some.

Do you know about what time it was?

Well, it was right after I hung up so...

Then, I can tell what time it was!

Just before I hung up, I heard the sound

of the fax machine on the other side of the line,

so if we look at the time the fax was sent,

we can find out what time it was!

Who was the fax from?

I think it was from my husband.

Then where is that original fax?

In the living room.

My God, they really went all out messing up the room.

So this is the fax you received from your husband.

Yes.

15:28.

What else was stolen besides the hanging scroll?

Nothing. Only here and the bedroom were ransacked.

Even the wallet that was on the shelf above the TV

was left untouched.

May I have a minute with you, Officer Momose?

It seems that the burglar

broke in from the veranda facing this window.

Just as I thought.

Why do you think that this is the way the burglar broke in?

We're on the 6th floor.

It's a common target

for burglars who use a rope to get down from the roof.

They seem to think that people living on the top floor of condos are rich,

and most times the windows aren't locked anyway.

You sure know a lot, don't you, Haibara?

Yes, because I live with an old man who likes to watch wide-shows on TV.

If I'm not mistaken, you're the first ones

who realized that the room was ransacked?

Yeah, when we got back from shopping, the front door was unlocked.

And when we heard the sound of the fax machine

and came into the living room, it was all messed up!

At that time, the clock on the fax was 15:40!

Which means that the burglary took place

between 15:30 and 15:40, a period of 10 minutes.

I wonder.

The burglar went down on the veranda

and came in through that window, right?

If it were me, I'd be too scared to come in.

See, if you close the window,

nothing is in view from the veranda because of the curtain.

If the burglar opens the window wanting to look inside,

the curtain would flutter in the wind,

and the lady on the phone would notice.

And, besides the time the fax was sent out all show 15:28!

Which means that the fax kept coming in

all the while we were out shopping until we came back, right?

Do you think a burglar would break into a room

where noise is constantly coming from?

But, it's just the sound of the fax.

The more so frightening because it's the fax!

Because if the fax completes coming in and the buzzer sounds,

somebody in the house may come to take a look at it!

I see.

Beside, it's strange that the burglar didn't notice her wallet

and if the burglar couldn't find what he was after,

wouldn't all the other rooms be ransacked too?

True...

The strangest thing is,

why only the hanging scroll was stolen.

But, that hanging scroll is worth 20,000,000 yen.

You idiot, only a professional would know

if that scroll is really worth that price.

Which means that the burglar knew that the scroll was here to begin with.

Yeah.

But if the burglar was after the scroll,

the other room wouldn't have been ransacked.

Maybe the burglar messed up the other room

just to throw people off, so that he's not suspected.

Which means that the culprit has no definite alibi

and on top of that had to face the police reluctantly after the incident.

Furthermore, that person knows the value of that hanging scroll!

Come to think of it, you were loitering around

in front of this house, weren't you?

I just told you, didn't I?

That I came to get my cell phone, but nobody was home.

But, the door wasn't locked!

Well...

Did you lock the door when you left the house?

Well, I think I did, but I was in a rush so...

By the way, why were you at the front door a while ago, mister?

I came to check things out

because Mr. Mie didn't come back for some time.

-Were you all here? -Yes.

Then, you also knew that he forgot his cell phone, right?

Yes, since he was by me until I started talking to grandma.

You mean you left while he was on the phone?

I just went to buy some cigarettes!

In other words, just as this child just said,

you two do not have an alibi yet.

Hey, will you cut out just suspecting us?

Those two are going to get 20,000,000 yen too

if insurance money comes in!

I'm just saying even you two can carry out something like this!

-What a thing to say? -Stop it.

We sure are in a fix.

All four of you have motives, no alibi and on top of that,

all of you are capable of carrying out the crime.

The key to nailing down the culprit is...

in the Japanese room!
