Stars are for some reason attractive.

They can be the culprit or an actor.

Dr. Agasa's weird code

is tough for the Youth Detective Squad.

Who's going to be the first to solve it?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

One hot summer day,

we came to collect insects.

Doc gave us a code quiz "pill bug and a tent",

which would lead us to where the treasure is hidden.

But I couldn't solve the code either.

Meanwhile, I get a call from Ran and Sonoko who are at the beach

saying that there was a murder at the hotel that they're staying at.

Sonoko remembered that there was something written on the window

of the hotel room where the man was killed.

What kind of writing?

Something like a code.

And who found the body?

The three friends of Mr. Miyama who was killed.

Mr. Miyama and the three of them were planning to have dinner together.

So they went to his room to get him because he didn't come.

They found the door was unlocked and the window was broken.

Mr. Miyama was found on the floor near the window.

This is what they testified to the police.

Then we...

Then, is the "tent" in the code points to the Tento festival?

Even so, I still don't understand the pill bug part.

That's where...

Marumushi Hot Spring is located.

"Pill bug and tent..."

Does that mean to light it up?

"Shrine Torii Gate Surprising Code (Part 2)"

Huh?

There are a lot of people.

There must be some kind of a gathering, don't you think?

Stupid! Take a closer look.

Everyone is holding a basin.

It's true!

The villagers probably bought the closed down inn

and are using it as a public bath.

I see.

Sento (Public bath)?

Maybe this "tento" (tent) means "sento" (public bath).

No matter how you look at it, Genta,

this "te" doesn't look like "se".

And it can't be "tentou"

because there's no "u" after the "tento".

"U"?

Darn it!

I don't get it!

Genta, don't lie down in despair.

I'm not in despair.

Doc told us to lie down and think it through,

and I just might get it.

But...

Ai was saying that if we still don't get it,

we should wash our faces and start anew.

Since there's a public bath,

why don't we go and wash our faces and our bodies?

That's a great idea!

It's no use.

Ai.

It's no use going to that inn. There's nothing there.

You guys have to try and think a little bit more.

Then tell us!

Where is the treasure?

Please tell us.

Sure, I can tell you.

Only if someone here gives up.

I'm not giving up!

A mail.

It's from Sonoko.

Huh?

I thought her cell phone was in the bag that was stolen.

I found this bag on the street

and since there was no ID,

I mailed the most recent person

the cell phone listed to have sent a mail to.

I want to send this bag to you,

so can you please give me your address and name?

It seems like the purse-snatcher just took the purse

and threw the bag away.

Wouldn't you usually ask for the address and name of the owner of the bag?

Why did this person send a mail?

Wouldn't it be quicker to look at the record of calls made

and call someone from that list?

Huh?

You give up, right?

Time out!

Take the bag to the police if you found it.

Hello, Ran?

I just got mail from the person who found Sonoko's bag.

Oh, really?

You'll probably receive a mail, too.

-So you can do something about it. -I'm sorry.

What's up?

My cell phone's battery is low.

I'm at the police station right now.

I'll get back to you when I return to the hotel.

Then did you tell them that the letters might mean "tel shite"?

The police and Mr. Miyama's three friends are saying that it makes sense.

But that doesn't help to specify the killer,

so we're going back to the hotel for now.

Hey, be careful.

The purse-snatcher is probably still roaming the streets.

We'll be all right!

I just asked Mr. Kanou

-to take me and your wife back to the hotel! -Wife?

Who's Kanou?

Ran was just talking to you about him.

Mr. Miyama's good looking friend.

A good looking guy!

-Sonoko. -What's the big deal? It's true.

The other two friends are with him, right?

It seems like he's alone.

Mr. Miyama's girlfriend, Miss Yanuma

is still being questioned by the police,

so Mr. Kanou was planning to wait for her in his car until she finished.

But Mr. Bito seems to have returned to the hotel already.

Since Miss Yanuma's questioning is taking time,

Mr. Kanou will be taking us back to the hotel

and return again to pick her up.

Okay.

I'm hanging up now. My cell phone is really running out of battery.

Come on.

I should have gone to the beach, too.

Beach?

Talking about the beach, I found a jellyfish.

What are you talking about, Ayumi?

There are no jellyfish in the mountains.

Yes, there are.

See! Over there!

Really?

See. A jellyfish!

True.

Turn the hot spring mark upside down and it looks like a jellyfish.

-Right? -A jellyfish.

I can see it.

Turn the hot spring mark upside down and it looks like a jellyfish.

So that's it. That's what it is.

Lie down and wash you face.

How stupid of me.

Having trouble with a code like this.

Well, sometimes easy codes are difficult to solve.

Doc!

It's about time. Tell us the answer.

What is the meaning behind the code?

Alright.

No! I won't tell you until everyone gives up.

I'll give up so just tell me.

That's not fair, Genta.

Why Ran?

Conan!

Can't you solve it?

It's totally Greek to me, I haven't got a clue.

Then hurry up and give up!

Conan, just admit your defeat already!

You guys give up too easily.

It seems like Shinichi can't solve it either.

Anyway, let's think it over from the very beginning.

First, all these codes are written only in Katakana.

It's understandable that pill bug and tent are written in Katakana.

Don't you think its weird for the "ni" in between is in Katakana, too?

That's true.

Secondly, if you look closely, the letters are not balanced.

That's true!

Isn't that because Doc's handwriting is messy?

And thirdly,

the hint Dr and Haibara was talking about.

Did they give us a hint?

Yes. "Lie down and think carefully",

and "if you still don't get it, wash your face and start anew"

are things Doc and Haibara don't usually say.

It's obviously a hint!

Maybe it means to lie down and look at these letters.

Okay!

Lie down, right?

I don't see anything different.

What happened, Genta?

Did you get something?

What?

Genta, what's going on?

No, I thought I almost got it.

-Almost? -Which is it?

Shut up!

I thought I could almost read it when I lied down.

Close call, close call.

No.

That smile, that provoking annoying look.

He probably already knows it.

Nothing comes to mind even if I look at it from the side.

Then let's look at the other hint.

You mean the "go wash your face"?

But to wash your face in the middle of the woods...

Maybe...

Does it mean to go take a bath in the inn?

Stupid.

Didn't Haibara and Doc said there was nothing at the inn?

Then where do you say we should wash?

That's right!

I don't know. Maybe it doesn't mean to actually wash your face.

Maybe it has something to do with what you do when you wash your face.

First of all, turn the faucet on.

Splash water on your face.

Wipe your face with a towel.

And then, after that?

After that is...

Let's see...

Let's eat!

Hey, Genta.

We're talking about when we are washing our faces.

You eat after you wash your face, don't you?

Mirror!

After that, I look in the mirror!

Mirror?

You can only see your face in it.

I'm getting more mixed up!

I think the mirror is on the right track.

Look.

Turn it upside down like that hot spring mark

and it looks like something totally different, like the jellyfish.

Even if I hold it upside down,

it doesn't look like a porgy or a flounder.

I can't even read what it says.

Wait a minute.

Could it be to wash your face while lying down?

To look at the mirror with the letters written downwards

by turning it sideways?

Turn it sideways,

reverse the paper and look at it through the mirror.

"Mura matsuri no torii."

The shrine gate of the village festival...

It's that shrine!

Isn't that right, Doc, Ai?

Correct!

You're correct!

We did it...

-We did it! -We did it!

Let's hurry and go there!

Treasure!

Oh, my.

You look like you taught the kids that they can do it if they try.

Don't I look great?

Shinichi, aren't you going to go see what the treasure is?

I bet you want to see it, too.

I don't have to see it to know what it is.

The place of the code

is the torii gate of the shrine that's lit up even late at night.

If we put sap on the pole of the torii gate...

I'll bet a lot will come.

I found it!

Amazing!

Unicorn beetles and stag beetles.

That's right!

Anyway...

you did a great job with the code.

This can be read from the front and back.

Thanks to Ai.

First, we were going to make it an animal code.

We thought of sticking paper with animal names on the window!

Watching that from the outside, Ai told me...

Isn't "sanso" (oxygen) a little bit hard for the kids?

Like that.

I see. The letters "kirin" (giraffe) looked like "sanso"

from the back and you thought of the code.

Shinichi?

Glass?

Back?

See through...

Wait a minute.

This is...

Darn it! That's it!

-Shinichi? -Kudo?

So that was it!

That's why Ran's face crossed my mind.

Ran's in danger!

Shinichi?

Where am I?

Didn't I told you earlier?

We're returning to the hotel in Mr. Kanou's car.

What? Get out of the car now?

I got what "t, e, i, u" really means!

There was a little punctuation before the "t" in "t, e, i, u"!

Put that vertical and reverse it!

It's the killer's name.

Hey, Ran?

Ran! Ran!

The battery's dead.

What did your husband say?

Hey, Sonoko!

Get out of the car, make it vertical and reverse it?

What is it?

Maybe he's just jealous?

No way.

Ran and Sonoko are in trouble?

Yes. Sonoko saw it!

The letters written by the person murdered in the hotel room.

Letters?

It was in lower case alphabet written horizontally!

To be more accurate,

there's a comma before the "t" and a dot on "i" which supposed to be "l",

and the "u" is the "shi" in Hiragana.

It's the same as "mura matsuri no torii",

turn the horizontally written letters vertical,

and read it from the back.

It's "Maru mushi ni tento".

Make "sanso" vertical and read it from the back.

It's "kirin".

Then, what about "t, e, i, u"?

That is...

It becomes "Kanou".

Kanou.

Why did he leave such a difficult code as a dying message?

It's not a code!

The victim fell on the floor

and wrote the words on the window from the inside.

And Sonoko saw the letters from the outside.

Then we have to hurry and tell Ran.

Ran's phone is dead.

And the thing is, Ran and Sonoko are both in that Kanou's car!

Hey. This is not the way to the hotel.

Don't worry, it's a short cut.

Where's the hotel those two are staying at?

If I knew, I would call the police!

They told me they were going to the beach,

but I don't know where.

Darn it! I should've realized this earlier.

When I received the weird mail from Sonoko's cell phone

which was thought to be mugged!

The picture sent to my cell phone, he wanted to delete the picture

with the dying message.

That's why he asked for my address and name.

Wait a minute, then it must mean...

The guy you were talking about, Shinichi,

he's only in high school, yet he's a detective?

Yes, sort of.

It's great to have a detective boyfriend.

No, he's not my boyfriend.

They're so lovey-dovey.

That's why I sent her boyfriend a picture of her in her bathing suit.

Hey, Sonoko!

That's so unfortunate.

Shinichi is not here, right?

I would have liked to meet the detective.

-He must be devouring that photo right now. -Sonoko!

Nonsense!

If the killer is waiting for me to contact him,

he should be carrying Sonoko's cell phone around with it switched on.

Please realize it.

That's the man. He's the killer!

Huh? That tune is the same as Sonoko's.

Or rather, that is mine.

You're right!

Really? But why?

Of course.

I'm the one who snatched the purse from you.

To erase the evidence of the killing.

-What? - Huh?

When we go a little farther, I want you to talk to me.

And give me the address of the kid Shinichi, too!

He still won't answer?

Be quiet!

Okay.

He answered?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

What do you mean hello?

Where were you when Ran needed you?

Hey, are you listening?

-Where... -Are you listening?

The car crashed into a tree, and it was so much trouble!

The car? Why'd it ram into a tree?

Don't ask me why. It just happened.

Ran side kicked the face of the killer

who was driving the car.

Is that right?

After that, the police that Sonoko called arrived

and the killer was taken into custody.

His motive for committing the murder was because his friend found out

about his illegal enrolment to the university and he was being blackmailed.

He committed a more serious crime to hide his first criminal act

which was a typical pattern for cases like these.

Then...

Huh?

I thought I saved it here.

If it's the picture of the lady in the bathing suit,

I've deleted it for you!

Why?

What do you mean by why? It's against the law!

Sorry. I asked Ai to delete it.

Haibara?

You...

Darn it!

Next Conan's Hint:

"The two cups"

What's title of the next episode?

It's half of the complete, so if eel over rice is used as analogy.
