Original subtitles

Today's code is pretty difficult.

The star and the killer are called by the same name.

Search and see through the telescope trick!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We go over to a pension in the mountains to observe stars.

Besides the owner of the pension, Mr. Ryoji Amatsuchi,

three people received an invitation card, Ms. Etsuko Nonomiya,

Mr. Hajime Futagawa, and Mr. Heihachi Mikami.

We went to look at the stars...

When we got to a hill nearby,

to our surprise we found a skeletonized corpse!

Moreover, in its hand it was holding six cigarettes

thought to be a dying message.

-And, that night... -What was that sound?

Mr. Futagawa?

The same dying message again?

No, this time...

there's one more.

"Stars, a Cigarette and a Code (Part 2)"

True.

There are seven cigarettes in all.

What does this mean?

It's likely that the person that the six cigarettes stand for,

which Mr. Kono, who was killed a year ago was holding

and the person that Mr. Futagawa is trying to describe

using the seven cigarettes may not be the same.

Maybe the killer deliberately added one more

just to throw investigation off.

That's not possible.

We heard something drop to the ground

and went running over right away.

There was no light when we ran over here, was there?

No, it was pitch dark.

Which means that one who killed Mr. Kono,

and the one who killed Mr. Futagawa are two different people.

Or, it could be that Mr. Futagawa tried to leave some kind of clue behind.

There's blood on just one match.

There is blood on his hand that was holding the cigarette case.

There's blood on the other cigarette case in his pocket too.

It could be that...

Your detective badge is beeping.

Oh, it's me! Can you see me?

Above. Look up!

Dr. Agasa!

Hey, is anybody there?

No, no one in particular.

We didn't see anyone, did we?

But, we did find something on the ground!

Something on the ground?

A cell phone.

There's a mail that hasn't been sent out.

What's written on the mail?

"Will"

A will.

A will?

Mr. Futagawa is dead?

Oh no. It can't be.

He fell off the cliff and I think he died instantly.

Mr. Futagawa's cell phone was found on the cliff.

A mail "will" with no "send to" address was found in his cell phone.

There was a will in his cell phone?

This is what is written.

I invited everyone to this pension

because I wanted to confess before everyone what I did a year ago,

here at this pension.

Right. The one who killed Mr. Asao Kono a year ago is I,

Hajime Futagawa

Ms. Etsuko Nonomiya, who was his fiance,

I am sorry to have killed someone so precious to you.

Mr. Ryoji Amatsuchi, Mr. Kono's upper classman during his university days.

I am sorry for throwing dirt on this pension that you manage.

And Editor Mikami,

please carry on with Space Sunday even after my death.

He died because I had a slight argument with him

on the cliff and pushed him.

He unfortunately fell off

I was going to confess to this truthfully

and ask for your forgiveness.

But I found it hard to come up with the subject.

Therefore, I have decided to make amends by killing myself

before the police arrive here tomorrow, Hajime Futagawa.

Then, he's dead after all, Asao's...

Asao's really...

I'm sorry, please accept my apologies too, as his superior.

Don't cry, Etsuko.

Now we know why he suddenly disappeared

as well as found out who killed him.

But, I wonder...

Would a person who writes a letter then commit suicide,

leave something like this behind?

What?

Mr. Futagawa, who fell from the cliff,

was holding on tightly to these seven cigarettes.

Mr. Kono had six.

Mr. Futagawa was holding one longer cigarette more.

If Mr. Futagawa killed Mr. Kono,

and if he realized that the message was about himself,

leading him to commit suicide.

I don't think he would increase the number of cigarettes, do you?

On top of that, there's blood only on the one that has been increased.

There was blood on Mr. Futagawa's hand

and the other cigarette case that was in his pocket.

There were also traces of him having been hit

on the head with a steel pipe too.

Hit?

Yes! I think the blood got on

when he touched his bleeding head with his hands.

In other words, while the someone on the cliff,

who hit Mr. Futagawa on the head, stole his cell phone

and was keying in the will,

Mr. Futagawa deliberately took out one cigarette

from another cigarette case that he had,

and put that extra cigarette

into the original cigarette case with the six cigarettes inside it,

and completed the message.

I feel that this is indeed a dying message.

Oh no.

He probably had the cigarette case with six cigarettes in it,

to verify whether Mr. Kono's dying message applied to him.

Wait.

If there were seven,

doesn't that mean that you're the killer, Mr. Amatsuchi?

Mr. Mikami's name Heihachi is also seven cigarettes.

Aren't your initials seven cigarettes too, Ms. Nonomiya?

Come, come, let's stay cool.

Then all three of you, didn't see him in the forest?

-No. -No.

Then, let us check all your rooms.

We don't want the one who hit Mr. Futagawa with the steel pipe,

hiding it somewhere and come after us with it, do we?

Hey, don't mess things up too much.

Oh, you brought a telescope with you, sir?

Yeah. It's the one that was in the editing room.

A lens barrel, a stand, a finder and a tripod.

The lens barrel of a telescope is not hard enough to hit someone with.

A tripod like that would probably bend

if you hit someone with it, right?

True.

You tried a lot of different cigarettes too, didn't you, sir?

Yeah.

I couldn't figure anything out though.

Hey, that's enough!

How long are you going to keep searching?

The only thing that could serve as a murder weapon

would be this umbrella.

But, it's not bent anywhere.

Of course not. Because I'm not the killer.

What about the liquor bottle you had?

I threw it away in the forest.

When I threw you guys off.

Threw us off?

You came after me, didn't you?

You, the freckled boy and the girl with the bangs.

I suddenly felt nauseated back then

and was throwing up behind a tree.

You were trying to figure out Mr. Kono's dying message too, weren't you?

Yes. But I didn't think they were Mr. Futagawa's initials.

I didn't know his first name.

Then, finally, it's your turn Mr. Amatsuchi.

But since this pension is in its entirety like your own room,

I guess we'll ask the police to investigate

when we call them in the morning.

Yes, sir.

Make sure you tell the police to search inside the forest!

Because if I were the killer, I'd hide the murder weapon there.

Yes.

Ai, so how was it?

I searched every nook and cranny of Mr. Futagawa's room

for the thing you told me to look for

but found nothing.

That's strange.

If the killer left such a will behind and killed him,

it should be around somewhere.

While you were investigating the rooms,

I was here watching over the people who were waiting.

That man called Amatsuchi is suspicious.

-He sure is suspicious. -Why?

Because he was looking over the guest list over and over.

Yes, really carefully, over and over.

And with a frightening face like this.

The guest list.

Come to think of it, Mr. Mikami and Mr. Futagawa said that

they met Mr. Kono only once.

After Mr. Kono's whereabouts became unknown,

these two men have been here several times.

Here it is.

It's probably this day.

The day when Mr. Kono died.

Yes, after Mr. Kono and Ms. Nonomiya's names

come the names of Mr. Mikami and Mr. Futagawa,

so there's no doubt about it.

Maybe this is...

I see, so that's the story.

Ai, come here a minute.

Okay! Please.

I agree with Ayumi too.

Right?

A Fusae brand wallet about this size.

If you get it for me, I'll help you.

Its hurt.

Ai! What's wrong?

-Ai, are you okay? -Ai!

Oh no! She may have appendicitis!

What? Does it hurt, Ai?

But, we've got a problem. The phone won't connect.

And even if we were to carry her down,

-who knows how long it'll take. -Ai!

It hurts, Dr. Agasa.

Do something, Dr. Agasa.

Its hurt. Help.

Hello, could you send an ambulance up here?

Yes, a child suddenly fell ill.

Just as I thought.

Hello, please send an ambulance up here.

-Yes, a child suddenly fell ill. -No joke.

I thought the modular cable for the phone was gone?

The address is Gunma prefecture...

Conan?

We have to contact the ambulance quickly or Ai will...

Just what do you think you're doing?

There's no need to call one I was just acting.

In order to reveal the one who hid the modular cable

and flattened the tires of our cars to confine us here.

Don't tell me that the one who used Asao's name

and sent out the invitation card to gather us here was...

You.

You're the one who left a will in Mr. Futagawa's cell phone,

made it look like he committed suicide

and pushed him off the cliff,

Mr. Ryoji Amatsuchi!

Oh, no...

Wrong.

Wrong?

It's true that Mr. Amatsuchi is the one who invited everyone here

and confined us here.

But, he's not the killer.

Why not, Conan?

It was in the will that the killer wrote, wasn't it?

That the killer's the one who invited everyone here.

If Mr. Amatsuchi was the one who killed Mr. Futagawa,

wouldn't he have made it look like...

Mr. Futagawa was the one who confined everyone here?

And he would've hidden that modular cable into Mr. Futagawa's clothes,

or hidden it in the room.

True.

Mr. Amatsuchi called everyone here

because he found the bones,

the ring and dying message cigarettes of Mr. Kono,

whose whereabouts became unknown a year ago.

If not, he couldn't have been so accurate

just taking a quick glance at the cigarettes

and remarking that there were four long cigarettes

and two short ones, right?

Yeah. I sent out the invitation

to the people who spent the night here that day

because I found those things.

I figured that if the killer found out

that I found the bones and the message,

the killer would confess.

But, since Mr. Futagawa died,

I couldn't come out and say so.

Which means then that the person who killed Mr. Futagawa is...

Of course! The killer is that woman called Ms. Nonomiya, right?

What a thing to say?

That is possible.

If she realized that the cigarettes stood for Mr. Futagawa's initials.

Avenging the death of her fiance that was killed.

That's more than enough motive.

No, Ms. Nonomiya said she passed us in the forest.

She couldn't possibly have gone up the hill before us,

meet Mr. Futagawa and push him off the cliff.

But when Mr. Futagawa fell off,

all three of you ran right over, didn't you?

If somebody was watching that from on top of the cliff...

Seen from on top the cliff

were only three little lights the size of a bean.

It's impossible to make out who the three of us were from that distance.

In other words, by means of elimination

the only one capable of being the killer is,

Mr. Futagawa's boss and editor,

Mr. Heihachi Mikami, you are the killer, right?

If the other two aren't the killer, you say that it's me?

But, Mr. Futagawa was holding seven cigarettes.

That was a message pointing out your name, Heihachi.

It's only a coincidence.

And, besides, why do I have to go and kill Futagawa?

If he did kill the guy called Kono a year ago, then the more so.

I have no obligation to avenge the death

of a person that I've met for the first time.

True.

But that's only if Mr. Futagawa had actually killed Mr. Kono.

What?

I looked through the guest book

and noticed that Mr. Mikami's name was listed after Mr. Kono's name.

It dawned on me that maybe Mr. Kono knew Mr. Mikami's name

only by sound and not the kanji character.

By sound?

The kanji for the word "mi" in Mr. Mikami's name

is also pronounced as "o", right?

Yes, the usual kanji character for "Mikami"

is made out of the word three (San) and top (Ue).

The number of strokes for the kanji character are...

One, two, three...

-Six! -Six!

Right, the six cigarettes left behind by Mr. Kono

as well as the seven cigarettes left behind by Mr. Futagawa

are both dying messages that stand for Heihachi Mikami!

Mr. Futagawa increased the number of cigarettes

to make it easier to understand.

He chose the same brand of cigarette

because the killer for both incidents was the same person.

Come to think of it,

Mr. Futagawa was laughing while looking at the guest book back then.

That's when he realized that Mr. Mikami killed Mr. Kono.

So, when he tried to confirm it,

he was probably killed instead, no?

This is ridiculous. Do you have any evidence?

The evidence is the bag that was found in your room.

If something like the steel pipe that killed Mr. Futagawa is found,

it will serve as concrete evidence!

Hey.

You checked that bag a while ago.

Yeah. I couldn't find the steel pipe,

but I couldn't find something that should've been there either.

Something that should've been there?

The heavy-weight for the telescope.

You put something else into this lens barrel

and removed the heavy-weight.

In order to keep the weight what is should be.

So, will you show us the inside of the lens barrel?

No matter how well you wipe it,

the luminol reaction from the blood that stuck to it

after you hit Mr. Futagawa is bound to be there.

Futagawa's blood is definitely still here.

So, you're the one after all.

Right. I went out of my way to look after him

and see that he made it to the desk,

yet he had the nerve to say to pay him 50,000,000 yen

if I wanted him to keep his mouth shut about the murder.

All I did was punish Kono for not being grateful.

Punished him?

Just what do you mean?

A comet.

A year ago, that day, the guy named Kono came to ask me a favor.

He asked me to verify whether the comet he found was a new one or not.

You mean the comet that was named after you?

It was found by that man and I confirmed it on that cliff.

Don't tell me that you killed Asao

so that you could hog that comet all for yourself?

I asked him to put my name on the comet, of course.

But that guy...

Talk about ungrateful.

No, I can't.

We've already decided that the name of the star is...

Amatsuchi, Nonomiya, Kono comet.

I thought...

Come to think of it,

he mentioned that the time's finally come.

I thought that he found somebody else.

It was a dream I've held since childhood too.

And yet he refused to listen to me.

So, I figured that I'd go and submit it before he does

and headed back for the pension.

Then, that guy came clinging onto me so I brushed him away

and he fell off the cliff.

Then, later when you came here again

in order to hasten skeletonizing of the corpse,

you poured lime over it, right?

Right.

What a surprise it was to find that

Mr. Amatsuchi was the sender of the invitations.

I thought it was Futagawa all this time.

Hey, hurry and take out the steel pipe.

Stop pushing me.

It's a steel pipe...

but, not an ordinary steel pipe.

Shot gun.

Okay! You line up there too!

In Futagawa's case, I just hit him to avoid the gun shot,

but this time I'll finish you all off in a blow.

I'll sure need a lot of lime.

No need to be scared little lady.

I'll turn you into a star in no time.

What are you doing brat?

Can't you see? I'm wearing my shoes.

Shoes?

You idiot! Do you think you can get away?

No. Mine's the same as yours.

What?

Mine is also...

not an ordinary shoe.

See.

Aren't you glad

now that your name will finally be branded

as one owned by a criminal, a convict, rather than comet?

I wonder why Mr. Kono was so obsessed about the name of the comet?

I can understand him wanting to name it after his fiance, Ms. Nonomiya,

but why couldn't he let Mr. Amatsuchi wait and name it after Mr. Mikami?

Then, this wouldn't have happened.

But, they were upper classman and under classman at the university.

-They were probably very good friends! -Guess so.

I don't think that's all there is to it.

He really didn't want to leave out Mr. Amatsuchi

because "Ama" from Amatsuchi's name, "No" from Nonomiya's name,

and "Kawa" from his name, when you them line up horizontally

stands for Amanogawa, which means the Milky Way.

-I understand. -I see.

Conan, you're fantastic!

Hey, will you guys be a little quieter?

I was going to go to the country over to grandma's place

and I get dispatched so early in the morning like this.

I guess it'll be a while till I get to go again.

I'm so sleepy...

Where?

Where did you call just now?

Grandma's place in Tottori.

Tottori?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Tent"

It's time limit for Saturday's homework.

Hey, it's already Monday night.

-I've got to watch Detective Conan. -It just ended.
