The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Alibis and tricks are unraveled.

Extra-marital affair, fortune-telling and Three Kingdoms.

Many things connect to the crime.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Heiji, Pops and I will go to the residence of Ryoko Morozumi

on Haidocho 4-chome to conduct investigation

on behalf of Detective Kusukawa,

but she denied our help.

What?

You just said you're headed home because you finished the job!

Yeah, that's what we were planning to do,

but we passed a fire engine on the way back.

We got concerned and headed back to the residence

and found it blazing outrageously.

What?

The Morozumi residence...

"Red Horse In The Fire (Investigation)"

I tell you, what is that idiot doing anyway.

I bought him a t-shirt

that I thought would look good on him and then...

Come, come. They'll be home soon.

What's this key holder?

Remember? A kindly looking old man gave it us on the bus.

Oh, the man who gave us his seat

saying that we looked to be carrying a heavy load.

Thank you so very much.

Thanks.

Where are you girls living?

Are you trying to pick us up, mister?

Kazuha, stop it!

No. I run an antique shop at Haidocho,

so I thought I'd like you to drop in one day.

Haidocho is nearby.

My house is right next to it on Beikacho 5-chome.

"Takanori Genda (42)" -Oh, 5-chome.

-Shall we go tomorrow? -Okay, let's!

Okay, I'll give you the catalog of my shop and a key holder.

Promise, okay?

I wonder what a key holder

that brings flourishing business is all about.

"Police Headquarters" -Here you go, Mouri.

The four red horses that were found at the serial arson sites.

I went way out to ask the forensic officers for it,

so you'd better find some sort of a clue, or you're going to get it.

Well, I'm not the one who want to see the horses, they do.

Hey. I wonder why only the horse left at the first site

is burnt black like this?

And only this horse has a stand.

There's something written on the back of the stand.

Rabbit?

Hey. A red horse and rabbit...

Don't tell me that...

Hey. Isn't this Guan Yu?

Guan Yu is the military commander

who appears in the story "Three Kingdoms", isn't he?

Yes. And Guan Yu is also famous

for being the god of prosperity for doing business.

But, what a flashy colored horse he's riding.

Well, this is the Red Rabbit Horse.

It's a super horse said to be able to run a thousand miles in a day.

Red Rabbit Horse?

Are you saying that this red plastic horse

is a famous horse that appears in "Three Kingdoms"?

Yeah, that's right.

Try looking at the stand of this horse

that was left at the first scene of the fire.

You can't read the words above and under it because they're burnt,

but you can see the word "rabbit", right?

Yes, true.

The only red horse with the word "rabbit" to its name

is the horse that ran around battlefields

with its vicious military commander on its back, Red Rabbit Horse, right?

But, why did the arsonist put the legendary horse

that appears in an old Chinese story

at the sites he set fire to?

Yeah, why?

China...

Feng Shui is also from China, isn't it?

The man who came to the Morozumi residence before the fire,

didn't he say anything to Ryoko about the old Chinese story?

He didn't say anything about the "Three Kingdoms",

but that Sensei of Feng Shui's got a perfect motive.

Huh?

He was looking for the video tape of his affair

with Ryoko Morozumi who died in the fire.

"Misao Soga (45)"

Don't tell me that you think he set the house on fire

in order to destroy the tape in the process?

Inspector Yuminaga.

Okay. If you find out anything more, please report to me again.

Yes, sir.

It seems that the ones with motive is not limited to that Sensei.

Keiko Gondo, the fortune-teller

that came to the house before the Sensei...

Seems that she's going to get a large sum of estate from her parents

being that she's Ryoko's older sister.

Come to think of it, that fortune-teller

was saying that their father just died.

But that lady came to borrow money from Ryoko.

If she was going to inherit the estate of her father anyway,

why would she do something like that?

Her father was left to live alone when her mother died.

His only living relatives were his two daughters, Ryoko and Keiko.

He seems to have left a will saying that

he would leave his entire estate to Ryoko who had taken a husband,

who took after their family name Morozumi.

I see.

So if Ryoko disappears,

the estate that she originally couldn't inherit would be hers.

Yeah.

Because there was nothing on the death note that said,

if the younger sister dies, don't give it to the older sister.

If so, Ryoko's husband is clean.

If his wife dies, he loses the estate and all.

No, we can't assume that.

Her husband Akira Morozumi is a psychiatrist,

and wanted to demolish that house that they were living in

and build his own hospital.

But since Ryoko was opposed to it,

he seems to have been in a fix.

He seems to have been given that land and house by Ryoko's parents.

On top of that, if he knew that

his wife was having an extra-marital affair,

he would have more than enough motive.

The problem is all three of them have an alibi.

Yeah. The time the arsonist set fire

and put this horse at the site was around 7:30 pm.

Her husband came home about 10 minutes before that,

but after that, before even a minute had passed,

he went out drinking with the Sensei of Feng Shui.

And at that time, the fortune-teller

was telling fortunes in a building in front of Haido Station.

The only suspect left is

the man who was at the front door

of the Morozumi residence when we got there.

The man who tried to leave the catalog of the things in his store

and key holder that would help business prosper,

but was asked to leave.

The owner of the antique store, that timid looking man...

Unless we can figure out who and where he is...

Hey. I wonder what this is?

See, this horse that was found at the first fire site,

only this horse has a strange protrusion on its body.

Isn't this the feet of a human?

It's melted from the heat of the fire,

but maybe somebody was mounted on this horse.

The military commander that was riding the Red Rabbit Horse was...

Who was he?

Guan... Guan Yu!

Guan Yu?

He's really suspicious after all,

that timid man with the round rim glasses.

Guan Yu is the god of prosperity in business.

The key holder box that the man tried to give away

is just the right size for this, too.

There's no doubt about it.

Huh? The guy that was riding the Red Rabbit Horse was...

We don't have time to waste!

Let's call all the antique shops in the vicinity of Haidocho!

We'd better hurry or he'll get away!

I hope that the man you guys say you saw isn't him.

Oh, no! It's already past 23:00!

We're all supposed to go to Tropical Land tomorrow and yet!

Maybe they aren't planning to come home?

Really, what are they doing dragging Conan around with them

till this hour of the day?

They get me so mad!

Let's just forget about those guys and go to sleep.

Wait.

Why don't we hang this sunny boy doll out

on the veranda of dad's room so that it doesn't rain tomorrow?

Although it didn't seem to work last night.

I'm going to wish with all my might tonight so that it works.

Yeah.

I've found them.

I've finally found them.

What? He once came up as a suspect?

Are you serious?

Yeah. His name is Takanori Genda.

He's running an antique shop in Haidocho, just as you assumed.

But why'd you suspect him?

He was among the crowd of onlookers at the fire site at Rizencho.

He was mumbling something strange while watching the fire.

He was saying, "Father..."

Father?

His father used to be a firefighter.

When he was still in elementary school,

his father tried to save a person

who couldn't make it out of the fire in time,

and was swallowed by the flames.

Don't tell me that the man is...

Yeah. We, the police thought so, too.

That he set fire in memory of his father.

That, maybe he thought that if he caused a fire,

his father would come dashing to the scene.

I see. So, not being able to give up hope,

he started setting fires from 1-chome in sequence,

and kept chasing the illusion of his father.

What? At 5:00 in the evening,

he stopped by at the shop once and then went home?

Yes, he said he was tired.

He's been distributing catalogs of our store and key holders

to people in the neighborhood from morning, so...

Is that key holder the one with a person riding a red horse?

Yeah. It's his work of effort of the statue of Guan Yu.

But he changed it to another key holder

because it didn't take too well to others.

What? He changed it?

Yes. The key holder that he distributed today

should've been one of a beckoning cat.

Is something wrong with the shop owner, officer?

No, not really.

Don't get so angry, Ran.

We can't go home for a while longer.

Gosh.

You were pretty knowledgeable about the story "Three Kingdoms", right?

What? Yes.

The military commander who was mounted on the Red Rabbit Horse

was called Lu Bu, right?

Right. But later, the horse was given to Cao Cao

and in the end, it went to Guan Yu, who was the last to own it.

Are you sure about it?

Yes, because the key holder I was given of Guan Yu today

-is also riding a Red Rabbit Horse! -What?

Somebody gave you a key holder of Guan Yu riding the Red Rabbit Horse?

Yes.

Hey, Pops! What's the address of your detective agency?

I'm asking you what's the address? What chome is it on?

Fifth chome.

Okay, I got it.

What did Pops say?

I'm not sure,

but he said he's on his way home now, and told us to not go outside.

Great.

I've been hearing strange noises from the front door from a while ago,

and it's giving me the creeps.

What? Genda lives in Rizencho?

Yeah. What about it?

When Ryoko's husband came back home at about 7:20 pm,

we saw Mr. Genda near the house in Haidocho.

The bus that Ran rode is probably the one

that goes from Haidocho via Beikacho and then to Rizencho.

Although it's true that Mr. Genda intended to go home once,

for one reason or another, he returned to that house.

Come to think of it,

Rizencho is the place where the first fire occurred, right?

Yeah. The house that burned was right near his home.

The inhabitant seems to have been a good friend of his parents,

as well as a good customer of his shop.

Which means that the real reason he set fire to the house

was to hide the fact that the item that he sold was fake,

and before anyone found out, he burned the house down.

Yeah.

But I don't understand.

Why didn't you detain him at the station

being as suspicious as he was?

I guess the intuition of a police detective within me

has gotten rusty.

The police car has arrived in front of the detective agency.

Hey, don't tell me that...

Genda?

-Heiji. -What is it? What happened?

After the phone call just a while ago, that man came here,

and asked to have the key holder that he gave us in the bus back.

We asked him why, and he said...

There's going to be a fire.

I'm going to set fire again!

Then, he broke down in tears.

Having no choice, I called the police, but...

Hey, Genda. Is it true?

Did you really do it?

I'm sorry!

Inspector Yuminaga!

We'll take the suspect over to the Beika Police Department for now.

Yeah.

Judging from the looks of it,

it seems he'll spit it out right away.

Hey, Hattori.

Doesn't this seem familiar?

Yeah. I was just thinking the same thing.

The renown Detective Poirot series, a masterpiece of all masterpieces.

It's just like "The ABC Murders".

The killer kills people who have the same initials

as the name of the place

and kills them off one by one in order of ABC.

Then, an ABC time schedule is placed near the corpse

to make it look as if it were the doings of a serial killer.

And finally, he kills the actual target "C" that he is after.

He hides the orderliness of a planned murder

under the guise of a disorderly random murder.

It sure is similar!

Moreover, that timid man, the arsonist,

who was taken away by the police just a while ago.

In that novel, he is arrested once because the real arsonist

puts him under the illusion that he is the one committing the crime.

Genda sure resembles that character.

It seems that we'd better look into this a little deeper.

Yeah. We'd better check out the sites of the fire of 4-chome

that smells of tricks involved.

What? You're going to Haidocho 4-chome

where the fire occurred last night?

You mean now?

Yeah. There's something bothering me.

I'm thinking of taking him along, too.

Never mind the fire!

We're all scheduled to go to Tropical Land today, aren't we?

I don't know if it's topical or pickles,

but this case is sure going to put us in a pickle

if we don't solve it fast.

Case?

But the arsonist was arrested last night, wasn't he?

Yeah! The man with the round rimmed glasses

that gave us the key holder of the red horse.

No. Maybe that man is being mind controlled.

Mind controlled?

Think about it.

Mr. Akira Morozumi is a psychiatrist.

Mr. Misao Soga is a Sensei of Feng Shui.

And Keiko Gondo is a fortune-teller.

All three of them seem to be able to manipulate the hearts of people,

and have the motive to cause the fire.

Don't you think something smells?

But those three have alibis.

Right, so let's go and check it out again.

Maybe a super delicious story is hidden behind all this, right?

It's kind of eerie.

Really, I can't understand the feeling of somebody

who wants to come to a scary place like this.

Don't come then!

I can't help it!

I want the case to be solved as soon as possible,

and go to Tropical Land.

We were a bit concerned about the case, too.

Hey, hey.

You've got a huge family accompanying you today, don't you?

Hello.

And, did Genda confess?

His answer is an unchanging, "I don't know".

"I don't know"?

Yeah. According to him,

he says there's another him within himself,

and that guy may be going around setting fire.

He seems to have had the habit of sleepwalking since he was a child.

And that habit seems to have reoccurred recently,

so he's been seeing a doctor for treatment.

And don't tell me his doctor is...

Yeah, Akira Morozumi.

He seems to have prescribed a tranquilizer and gave it to Genda.

But he looked really surprised

at hearing that Genda was the arsonist.

Come to think of it, the man called Soga also looked surprised.

Soga and Genda used to see each other a lot

at the antique marketplace.

And Soga seems to be the one

who recommended Genda to go to Morozumi's hospital.

Misao Soga is an odd character who quit the medical university part way

and got absorbed in Feng Shui.

The reason why Genda was in that area that day

was because Soga had told him that if he goes to the houses there,

the direction is good, so he might find some luck.

Then, just as Heiji had said,

he had some connection with Mr. Genda.

Which means that Genda may have some connection

with the fortune-teller Keiko Gondo, too?

No, I haven't gone that far yet,

but that lady smells fishy.

When Ryoko was found,

I saw her gripping this small cushion really hard.

I had them all come this morning to headquarters

and asked them if this looked familiar to them,

but only that woman Gondo turned pale

and left in the wink of an eye.

Isn't that a dying message?

Why did you let her go?

The arsonist had already confessed,

and that lady already had an alibi

so we couldn't detain her.

Well, that's only if the time of the arson

is correct as you both insist.

Well, would you like to confirm for yourself?

The one who testified is the boy next door.

Really! It's really true!

I saw it!

When the opening song of Kamen Yaiba started,

I saw a large shadow of a horse on the curtain of the living room!

Is it true, madam?

I wonder...

because I entered the living room at 7:30 pm

and turned on the lights right away,

so I'm not sure if there was a shadow there or not.

I'm not lying!

Will you show us that room?

It's this room.

If so...

the shadow of the horse was projected on this curtain.

True.

But, why was your son watching TV in a dark room?

It seems all the kids in this neighborhood do so now.

It's like watching a movie and really cool!

But sonny,

make sure you turn on the lights when you watch TV, okay?

Otherwise, our eyes will go bad really quickly.

Just like him?

Maybe the shadow of the horse

was already projected before 7:30 pm.

The shadow that is created by flames get light and dark

and sways a lot too,

so you can't tell if it's a horse or not at times.

That's not true!

Because I was watching baseball all the while

until the clock on top of the TV struck the time for Kamen Yaiba, but...

It got really bright outside the window,

and I saw the shadow.

It was time for the Kamen Yaiba song.

Then, were you watching the baseball game with the room dark, too?

Yes.

But if it's dark, you can't see the time of the clock, right?

I could see it

because it was dimly light outside the window.

Besides, the shadow of the horse wasn't swaying.

Hey, Heiji!

Conan!

Look really closely for it, Hattori.

I'm sure it's somewhere.

Yeah. The evidence that will prove our deduction

is here some place for sure.

I found it!

It's an incandescent electric light bulb.

I've found one here, too.

Here and there in burnt places,

there are burnt remains of tissue paper.

Which means that...

Yeah. If this trick is used,

you don't have to be here to set fire to the place.

All we need to find out now is

how the culprit manipulated Mr. Genda.

We've got to find proof of that.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Key holder"

In the next episode, Hattori and I will have a hot deduction.

It's hot! My butt's on fire!

Hey, hey.
