Younger brother!

I'm your partner at all times!

Disclose the surprising secret hidden in the red light

that brings back memories even after ten years!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Ms. Kobayashi finds a leather wallet in the library.

In the wallet was a message that Ran wrote when she was in first grade.

"Thank you, Ran Mouri of 1st grade class A."

Ten years ago,

we were given a code in the school library from a man

who claimed to be "Shinichi's younger brother",

and end up going on a treasure hunt.

-"Erase..." -"Erase..."

"The mark of Okuho."

"Clench your teeth in solitaire with an unclear voice"

"The Adventures of Young Shinichi Kudo (Part 2)"

"Erase the mark of Okuho."

"Clench your teeth in solitaire with an unclear voice"

"Okuho" is the name of a town and may be referring to Okuho-cho,

but the word after that is Greek to me.

Maybe it's a dentist?

It says, "Clench your teeth"...

No, that's too simple.

Then, what was it?

Quick, tell us Conan!

Hold your horses.

Try figuring out "Erase the mark of Okuho" first.

I get it.

That's a supermarket!

Huh? A supermarket?

You mean the leaflet that comes with the newspaper?

Why?

Pa often says,

"It's ma's job and up to her to do away with the reds."

That's why ma is always in a fix when shopping.

Wrong!

It's not "akaji" (Means red words), but "akashi" (Means mark).

It means something that certifies

or a seal for something.

If it means looking for a seal

it probably means scratching the silver off a lottery ticket with a coin.

But, it says erase the seal.

A postmark?

Don't tell me that the place is?

Yeah, Ran was saying that.

Ten years ago, the young boy called Shinichi realized that too...

"Ten years ago" -What? Okuho Post Office?

Then, did you decipher the code, Shinichi?

Yeah, half of it.

That word proof means mark, right?

And it's saying to erase that so...

I see! Postmark.

A postmark is stamped as proof that stamps

and postcards have been used

So, it's the post office!

But...

The people at the post office don't have strange voices.

No, they don't.

I don't know about the part after that yet

but if it's the post office, there's no harm going there.

Huh, why?

Because up to now, we figured out the place,

went there and looked for something red

then we found the next code.

It was a repetition of that, right?

The first red was a fire hydrant.

The next was a red alarm!

And if this third code is a post office...

I love red things.

I got it! It's the post box, a bright red one!

Right!

What? He took Ran with him again?

Shinichi?

Yes, they went out together with Mr. Agasa, our next door neighbor.

I'm sure they said they were going to Haido Harbor...

Haido Harbor?

That's where a murder was committed last night!

Well, there's nothing to worry about.

I hear that the case was solved this morning.

It's a holiday too.

It's better than staying inside and watching TV and playing games.

I think they should be able to go beyond the doors on a grand adventure.

Well, our bookworm son was indoors reading book after book.

So I'd like to thank your daughter for taking him out!

I just said that Shinichi is the one who took her out!

Come... Don't worry!

Geez...

I mean Yuki, you're always so easygoing and happy-go-lucky.

Oh, that's right.

There was a call from the metropolitan police for Yusaku.

They said to tell you, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"Thanks to you the jewelry was protected."

Oh, that case the other day.

That case about that thief, whatever his name was,

that Yusaku brushed away.

No... About that...

It's more like the thief made a perfect escape.

But, why did they call you, Eri?

Because they tried to call you a lot of times but they couldn't reach you.

Oh, I get it, Yuu.

You pulled out the telephone line again, didn't you?

Oh, well, I wanted to concentrate on my manuscript

because it's almost deadline.

At any rate, tell those children to come home right away

when you see them!

Are you leaving already?

I really don't have that much time.

I've got a court hearing coming up next week,

so I've got arrangements to make.

I see. It's your first court hearing.

Good luck!

Thank you.

Well, I may be beaten to a pulp because it's my first time.

If that happens please comfort me...

All right!

Didn't you have to make arrangements with somebody yourself too?

Remember, with the magician that you said you became a disciple of,

in order to act out your role.

I'd completely forgotten.

I promised to meet him in order to write my essay!

Was that today?

"Okuho Post Office" -Hey, Shinichi, the post box is here.

But there's nothing on it.

Strange, I was sure this is the place.

It seems that we have to decipher the phrase,

"Clench your teeth in solitaire with an unclear voice" first.

Hello! Here's the evening newspaper!

How're you doing?

As you can see, it's "kanko dori" (Means virtually no business).

"Kanko dori"?

What's "Kanko dori"?

It's "kakko" (Means cuckoo).

It's referring to the "gakko" (Means school)!

Let's go, Mouri!

What? Mouri?

Okay.

Hey, Shinichi!

Shinichi!

Geez. I told you before,

not to call me by my first name at school!

It's so embarrassing.

But, Shinichi's your name and you're Shinichi, right?

Call me Kudo!

I'll call you Mouri.

Well, we're not little kids anymore,

so please, okay, Mouri?

This is the only red thing near the school.

No, it doesn't seem like anything is pasted on anywhere.

Look carefully because there's got to be something.

It's just not up here.

There's something pasted over here!

I see, this is a code made for children to decipher.

That's why it's pasted on where we can reach it.

What's this?

It's all kanji characters.

You mean you can't read it either, Doc?

No, from everything we've seen so far,

I think that Beika at the top refers to Beika-cho, but...

I wonder if it's Chinese?

The word next to Beika is read as "Chuugoku" (Means China), right?

True, but we can't say for sure that it's Chinese just yet.

"Beikachu"

Beika Middle School...

Was there any Beika Middle School?

No, they have a university and high school

but no Beika Middle School.

Besides, why is only the last word enclosed in a square?

True...

"East"

This looks familiar.

Ran!

Dad?

What're you doing here?

Oh, well, you see, there's a reason for this...

We're playing a game trying to decipher the code that Doc made.

Right, Doc?

Yeah, well, sort of.

-A code? -What brings you here, dad?

Well, it seems that the culprit we arrested this morning

used to work at the post office over there,

so I'm here to conduct interrogations with Inspector Megure!

Codes sure sound nostalgic, though!

I used to play spy games with my friends when I was a child too!

But, it's so hard that we can't figure it out.

Let's see, let me take a look!

Okay, but it's really difficult.

Gosh! What're you talking about?

We're police officers, you know?

A child's code like this is duck soup. One look and...

Hey, Mouri, can you figure it out?

No, I have no idea.

Well, at any rate,

it's a very well made code.

So you can't solve it after all.

Oh, Inspector!

Since it's been a while, how about playing a game of mahjong tonight?

Oh! I was thinking the same thing!

I don't know why but after looking at that code,

I suddenly felt this urge to play mahjong.

Oh, you too?

"East" -Mahjong?

Okay then, Ran, make sure you're home before dinner.

Okay!

Shinichi,

this is a game called mahjong that was introduced to Japan from China.

Like in the card game seven bridge,

you have to draw the tile you need yourself,

or wait for someone to throw the tile you need to win a game.

Only, unlike seven bridge,

in mahjong, like poker, you can have a complete hand.

This, which is either "Tonba" (Means east wind)

or "Nanba" (Means south wind),

is the rule that call "ba" (Means wind) to control the game.

What? Mahjong?

Are you saying that this code is related to mahjong?

Yes, try thinking of it applying mahjong to it.

It's true that the third character "Chu" (Means center)

and the last character "East" are written on mahjong tiles,

but the other characters are not.

The first two characters "kome" and "hana" (Same sound as Beika)

indicate the names of towns,

therefore, Beika-cho is correct.

The last character "East" that is drawn inside a square

refers to the prevailing "ba" (Means wind) being played in mahjong.

It's called "nanba" (Means south wind), "tonba" (Means east wind)

and so forth, right?

The above that "Kuni" and "Shi" refers to "Kokushi".

In other words, it is the name of a special winning hand,

"Kokushimuso" which consists of the number 1 and 9 of all the suits

plus all the honor and flower tiles.

Then, what about the character "Chu" (Means center) that's above it?

Since "Chu" (Means center) is one of the mahjong tiles,

so it could be "dora" but rather, if you have a "kokushi" hand,

you'd be "machi" for the tile of your choice...

"Machi" (Means waiting)?

So, if you put all three characters together?

"Machi" (Means city), "yaku" (Means role),

"ba" (Means place).

I see, it's City hall!

I see, but there is no city hall in Beika-cho,

it would be the ward office or the branch office!

Okay, let's go there next then!

"Beika Branch Office" -Nothing...

Strange.

There's no red thing anywhere, Shinichi.

Well, it's already sunset.

Shinichi, why don't we go home today for now

and continue again tomorrow?

After all, tomorrow's also observed holiday.

Observed holiday?

I see! Today's a public holiday!

What? What do you mean?

There should be one standing on the roof of any government office.

"End" -The end?

Is this English?

It's just the alphabets W and S.

But, I don't understand the meaning of this arrow at all.

Since "the end", is written on it, could this be the last code?

Hey, could the alphabets W and S have some sort of meaning as is?

W and S...

I see! It's direction!

S stands for south

and W stands for west!

Then does this arrow mean to go from south to west?

Maybe it means to "look that way too" or simply, "look that way"?

If so, south is this way.

So, west is...

This way.

How beautiful!

I see. That's what it is.

-What? -I know now.

I've figured out who thought up this code.

Who did?

My Dad.

Dad asked one of his friends and used the code

to bring us all the way here!

Just to show us this sunset!

I guess he did this

because I've been cooped up at home recently

doing nothing but reading books.

But, wasn't it just a coincidence that

you met the man who gave you that code?

Sonoko said that she heard that a ghost appears in the library at school

from a man who came to deliver new books.

It's most likely that the man Sonoko was referring to was the man we saw.

I see.

Telling Ran's friend about it

would guarantee that you would hear about it too.

And since you can't resist mystery stories,

you would be lured to go to school.

Exactly!

In other words, dad manipulated us just the way he wanted to!

But it's nice

that we got to see this beautiful sunset too.

Oh, I hate to admit it,

but I totally agree, Ran.

Oh, sorry, Mouri.

Come off it! Ran's okay!

I prefer you calling me Ran!

Is it no good?

If...

if that's the way you want it then...

I guess it's okay with me.

Really?

All right, Shinichi!

Hey!

Cut it out!

I've got to thank your father!

Oh, come on, if you're going to thank anybody,

thank the man who gave us this code,

that's still hanging around nearby.

-What? -What?

Is that guy somewhere nearby?

Yeah. In order to make sure that we get to see this beautiful sunset,

he's got to be glued to us, right?

Because he would have no idea how long it would take us to solve the code!

I see! He would have to watch us right through,

then make it to the next place before us and get the next code ready,

adjusting the time and all.

In other words, so long as he got us to come here,

the codes that were found in between could've been anything!

But, maybe he's your father.

No, dad would already have appeared saying something like,

"What took you so long?"

Hey, Mr. Yesterday Night!

I know you're somewhere listening!

I'll leave my opinion in this wallet that you gave me last night

so come and get it!

I'll hide it behind the book "Gentleman Burglar" that you were reading!

Come for sure!

That's why the message,

"Thank you, 1st grade, class A, Ran Mouri"

is written on the paper inside the wallet!

What a nice story.

But the book that the wallet was found behind...

Wasn't "Gentleman Burglar", was it?

It can't be helped.

Ten years have already gone by.

So, even the location of the book's been changed several times.

I guess the man never came to get the book, though.

I would think that he'd know where the original place the book was

even if its location were to be changed, right?

I guess so too.

But, the man who thought up the code,

seems to have run out of everything at the end.

Huh, why do you think so?

Because although the riddles were interesting till part way,

towards the end, all it had were the codes "S" and "W"

and "look to the west."

It kind of fizzled out at the end.

No.

My deduction is wrong!

If he wanted us to see the setting sun,

"W" would've sufficed.

The "S" and arrow wouldn't be necessary.

Then, why the arrow?

What are the "S", "W" and "arrow" supposed to be then?

And why only at the end, there are symbols that indicate directions?

Direction?

Conan?

I'm sure the first was...

Harbor.

"Toriya Castle Ruins" -Next, is the castle ruins...

The "flood gate" with the same name.

A post office.

A middle school.

"Beika Branch Office"

City hall.

They're symbols used on maps.

Come to think of it, the symbol for post office

is the character "proof" inside a circle.

So, "erase this" means...

This?

Only the symbol of the ward office was drawn vertically,

so it must mean to change the position of this symbol like this...

and as for the "S", "arrow" and "W",

means from south to west.

So, if this is placed this way.

Oxhide?

Leather?

It's this wallet!

We were wrong!

I mistakenly thought that the one who made the code was nearby...

I'll hide it behind the book "Gentleman Burglar" that you were reading!

Come for sure!

-Conan? -Hey?

What's going on?

I see. I get it.

No kid could figure out a code like this.

It was for dad.

This code was made for dad to figure out to begin with.

If I couldn't figure it out,

the man figured I would beg dad to help me decipher it.

That means, ten years ago...

But, if so, how would what happened?

"Ten years ago"

Thank you so much for today.

Oh, did you catch cold?

No, maybe somebody's talking stink about me.

Because after all, we magicians thrive on deceiving people,

in other words, we're swindlers.

No way! You're not a swindler.

But it's too bad Mr. Kudo couldn't come here.

Rather, it would probably be more accurate to say I was relieved.

To Kudo, magic is like constructing a building on sand.

He would see through the trick in an instant.

My, how modest.

You're the "seventh knight" that I have encountered,

Toichi Kuroba of all people.

I read that essay every time.

My wife is a great fan.

I'll give you this,

because middle-aged lady is beautiful!

Huh?

Hey, Kaito! Stay still.

My, what a peppy young lad!

But, sonny,

the words beautiful and middle-aged lady don't match!

Since I won't get to see Kudo,

could you tell him to mail his reply to the friend of mine

that I mentioned the other day, whose letter that will be delivered here,

to this address.

Oh, about the letter from a fan of Yusaku, right?

When I told him about it,

he said he already wrote an answer for me to take it to that person.

But, his answer was not one you would call a letter or anything like that.

Wait!

Could it have been just one exclamation point?

Am I right?

What?

Yes.

But, how did you know?

Just as would be expected of the one who gave me my name.

Huh?

That certain friend that I'm referring to

also wrote a similar letter consisting of just one symbol.

"Dear Yusaku Kudo".

"Kaito No. 1412".

Come to think of it, the other day...

Did you know that Yusaku is the one who gave Thief Kid his name?

He misread the scribble of the notes of a reporter

and thought that the number 1412 that was written was "K-I-D."

I'm your sibling.

Rather, I should say, your younger brother.

That's why back then, he...

Are you gonna be able to stop me next time?

Yeah. Of course.

But, what's the meaning of this?

This question mark.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Baby talk"

I'm dating in the next episode!

-With who? -Attorney Kisaki.

-What? -What?
