In a mountain far away, a small house was built.
In that house lived the myth of the vampire.
It is said that, one by one, villagers
were killed by the vampire.
Following the villagers, the myth slowly disappeared
but, as time goes by,
when people remember what happened, on this gloomy night,
the vampire will once again come back to life.

Come on you guys!! Run the fullest starting now!
No!! ~
Can't do it!
Thank you!
Not bad.
Ah~
You guys are pathetic
That is because you're too fast!
You could even run in the men's race.
What are you guys talking about? If you continue like this, you won't make it for the autumn race!
Let's go training this week.
Training?!
My friend works here and
asked us if we wanted to come along
***
Yup, we'll talk about it later.
Yes~~
What is Hajime-chan doing? Always being lazy...
Ne~ ne~ where do you live?
Nya... *** (can't understand her! ><)
Ya! I live in Kaneda.
That means, if I take the train,
it's only 1 min away...
This must be destiny...
In that case... can I have your email?
Yup! Yess!
Aren't you a student?
School?
Eh... I'm going now...
Eh?!
Hey, don't skip! Go to school now!
Yes... yes... yes...
What's wrong?
Ah! Officer Kengochi!
I was just telling this student to go back to school!
Student?
Bad kid?
Ah... if I don't go... I'll be late!
Going now.
Wait a minute! You brat.
What kind of Japanese are you speaking?
You suddenly called me a brat...
You must understand how to use proper Japanese.
Right now, teenagers don't use proper Japanese anymore!
Eh... Wait!
Kaneda... ichi... ichi? What a weird name.
No... no... It's not Ichi Ichi.
Then what is it?
Kaneda... wan wan! (>w<)
Aaah!! I'm going to be late! Excuse me, excuse me!
Where do you think you're going?
What a stupid brat who doesn't know when to stop kidding around...
Now you call me a "stupid brat"?
Take him away! And notify the school.
Wa-WAIT!! WAIT A MINUTE!!
What bad luck... What is that old man's problem?!
Get a hold of yourself!
Suspended for 3 days!
I didn't cause you any problems.
I'm your close friend! Of course I worry about you!
This is gonna be baad! You're a famous detective's grandson!
Isn't this going to be embarrassing?
Grandson? Who's?
This guy's grandfather
used to be a famous detective. Kindaichi Kouskei. He's his grandson.
Are you SERIOUS?!
Right?
I say, this has nothing to do with my grandfather, understand?
NOTHING.
Ne~ Hajime-chan?
Ya?
Are you doing anything this weekend?
There's a training session, look.
Training?
This.
Good luck~ ne?
Hajime-chan, are you going?
Oi~ her friend works there.
Friend?
Yup, friend.
Ah!! I remember! This week I'm free!
In that case (x3), when you guys know where to meet, call me~
Yup yup, thanks
Miyuki's friend, eh?
Must be some hot chick.
Hello?
Nansei? You see... yesterday, we failed our tests...
So... I don't think we can make it.
No way...
Really... so, I don't think we can go.
It's true.
But Kindaichi is gonna go, just later.
Just later.
Wait, so it's only me and Hajime-chan?
Well, isn't that better?
Didn't you guys used to take baths together?
What are you talking about?
Stop kidding around.
Hung up.
She hung up?
Let's gooo!!
Let's go~ yaay!
Um... excuse me...
Do we wait here for the bus to RUIN?
- Yup, right here. - Thank you.
Sorry for having you wait.
The bus to Ruin is here.
Welcome aboard.
Is Hajime-chan really going to come?
Are you a fan of here?
Eh? Me? No no~
I got my friend's invitation so...
Is that so? My name is Nekono Junko.
I'm a free writer. I've been here many times.
Look, it's just dying to be written about.
It's wonderful.
You like it here, don't you?
Yes... just standing here makes me feel at peace.
Ooh~
Is everybody having a good time?
Haikyounosado... tour...
What a strange name it has...
It is said that this village was named after the vampire.
Vampire?
I will tell the story later.
Ooh, looks worse than I thought.
Well? Doesn't it feel nice?
I got tricked...
Ah! Welcome!
Welcome to Ruin's hotel.
I will be of service to you all.
My name is Minato Aoko. Nice to meet you.
Welcome!
I will also be of service. My name is Hikune Youhei.
Ah, Youhei-kun.
Miyuki-chan?!
Ah!!
Long time no see!
You've turned into a beauty!
Me?? Ahaha, naaaw~
The first floor is where the bathroom is.
Ah, everybody please be careful of this place.
Because the floor is very weak, it is possible it will collapse.
At most, it can only hold up to 50 kg
50 kg, eh?
Yes
Even though I'm 50 kg, I still must be careful.
In that case, I won't do.
I was once 50 kg, but I've gained some weight.
I guess it'll be okay for me.
I weighed myself today, and I was only 47 kg.
I'll probably be able to make it.
AAHHH!
Who the...
Wait... eh?
Hajime-chan!! What are you doing?
I should be asking YOU.
I finally rode my bike all the way up here.
You rode your bike here?
You know him?
Ah... let me introduce you.
This is my close friend Kindaichi Hajime.
This is my friend Kikune Youhei-kun.
Nice to meet you.
Friend?
Yup.
You're... a guy, right?
Yes.
OWWWW!!!
Are you okay?!
Something big fell down.
Are you okay?
Your name?
Minato Aoko.
I'm Kindaichi Hajime. Nice to meet you
You can call me "Hajime Baby."
Move your neck like this.
"Hajime Baby," my ass. You should be called "Stupid Hajime."
What happened?
AH!
You little brat.
No! NO!
Everyone! There is a hospital near by.
If there is anywhere you'd like to go, I'll take you there.
Me, me! I want to go!
This guy, you don't have to worry about.
It's better if you leave this guy here.
Aoko-san! Let's go together!
I still have work...
Yes.
What a scary place...
That is what's so interesting about here...
What are you doing?!
Don't think I have that kind of interest.
I don't have that kinda interest, too!
You must learn how to use proper Japanese.
"You're mistaken; I am not interested in those kind of things."
Understand?
Woo! Wait for me!
This is the surgery room...
Who are you?
I am no man of suspicion.
I am a guest in Ruin.
He's telling the truth! He's a guest.
My name is Futakami.
I came here yesterday.
I'm a doctor, and I'm very interested in this hospital.
But, what were you doing with a gun?
It is my interest.
And your companion?
Companion? No, I'm not his companion.
We just met today!
Yes, yes, we just met.
My name is Kaitani.
I own a clothing store in Tokyo.
Well... let's go back to the hotel now.
Now, let's go to the next room.
They're lying...
Hey, eat quietly.
I told you not to worry about it.
I do care about it!
What?
What are you doing here?
Eh? You were the one who told me to come! Why are you asking me?
I'm very sorry
Oi, careful, okay?
Ah, Yasuike-sama, this is your seat.
Thanks.
Does this not suit your taste?
I don't want to eat anymore. Throw these away.
Yes.
Give me some alcohol
and take these sausages away.
Yes. What kind of alcohol would you like?
Is wine okay?
Not bad.
This is a very expensive and rare wine
left here in this very hotel.
It is indeed very rare.
It's name is "Shinjeletorakui."
In Japanese, it means "Devil's Blood."
Not a bad name..."Devil's Blood."
I can't stand it! What a disgusting topic
What a disgusting wine.
Officer Kengochi, would you like some?
Ah! Me, too! Chu!
Your underage.
Got caught... and it's soo tense here, too.
Would you like me to bring you some soft drink?
Yes! Yes!
Aoko-san's uniform suits her well.
So cute... super cute!
You're drooling.
Eh? No way.
Nekoma-sama,
would you like some wine as well?
I'm fine. I don't feel so well.
What's wrong?
Hiro-san...
Starting today, I will be a guest here. Hiro Keisuke.
Ah! Hiro-sama is it?
We have waited for you.
Aoko-chan, show the guest his room.
Yes, your room is this way.
Everyone, please continue with your meal.
After you've finished, please meet in the lounge.
I will then tell you the story having to do with the vampire.
The myth of the vampire?
I can't wait...
Ah, are you alright?
I think I'm tired.
The stairs are dark. Please be careful.
It all happened 50 years ago.
When a group of people from another country moved into this village,
the villagers were curious about the family. It was said they got kicked out of their country.
Because they were vampires, soon, many strange rumors began to spread.
Not long after, a girl in the village caught a disease
that sucked up the blood in her body and soon died.
Everyone blamed it on the family of vampires. That night, the villagers burned down the house with the three of them in it.
But, the next day, when they went to find the corpses,
they could not find the body of the son.
That is when the real horror began.
Slowly, all the villagers moved away, and, not long after, the rumors of the vampires were slowly forgotten.
But during one part of the year, the vampire will awaken.
Fifteen years ago during the Bubble Age (?),
the land became precious and was sold.
The place where the house was burnt down 50 years ago
was turned into a hotel. A daughter and her parents moved into this hotel,
but, following the Bubble Age (?),
the hotel soon ran out of business.
The owners committed suicide, leaving only their daughter with a very unstable heart disease alone.
Then, 6 years ago...
A few villagers saw, with their own eyes, a vampire
taking the girl away.
When the girl died, it was as if she died in her sleep,
but on her neck were marks that looked as if she were bitten.
There was not a single drop of blood in her body
just as if it were all sucked away by the vampire.
Everyone, now you all understand
the hotel you are now staying at
is the exact same one in which the girl died.
It seems the story is still a little scary.
Just a little...
That is the end of the story.
No... just bend down a little more...
Ha?
Bend down...
Listen to people when they are talking.
What are you looking at? Stupid head.
But I was listening to the story
about vampires, right?
Ah... what is a stupid head?
But... in reality, vampires don't exist, right?
It'd be more fun it they did.
Would anybody like more drinks?
I'm going back to my room.
Give me another bottle of Devil's Blood.
Yes, right away. Aoko-chan, please.
Yes.
Ow...
Little brat, it's time for bed.
But... it's not even 9 yet.
Oh yeah... what is Miyuki doing?
Miyuki?
Oi, Miyuki.
Miyuki.
Did she go back to her room?
Save me... Hajime-chan...
Please, enjoy.
Ah, Nagoyama-sama, where are you going?
Searching for vampires.
What a scary man...
If you've seen his pictures,
you'll think he's disgusting.
Eh?
He's a photographer. He takes pictures of dead bodies.
Eh? Dead bodies?
Owner...
I cannot find the wine.
Eh?
Can't find it?
You mean, Devil's Blood?
Yes.
It was all here before,
but now not one bottle is left.
I've looked everywhere but...
Let's all find it together.
I'm very sorry.
How could we let a guest do such a thing?
Aoko-chan, this is all your fault.
I'm sorry.
Eh... there's no need to blame it all on Aoko-san.
All we have to do is find the wine, right?
It's easier said then done.
Look, there must be at least thousands of wine bottles.
If we were to look one by one, it'd take us till daylight.
Ah... bingo.
It's this, right?
Ah, yes, it's this.
How did you find it so quickly?
It's the spider webs.
Spider webs?
Ya, ya, ya, ya, look.
These parts are all filled with spider webs, so, if we had to take out a wine bottle...
Look, there's a hole.
So, as long as we find the hole,
we find the bottle.
Ne? Aoko-san~
What's wrong with the wine?
How long are you going to make me wait?
I am very sorry.
Here's the wine.
What terrible service we have here.
Anyways, Kindaichi-san, thank you very much for your help.
No, it's nothing.
Aoko-chan, bring all these bottles upstairs.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Kindaichi-san, you are very wonderful.
No, it's nothing... call me Hajime.
Oh! Let me help you with this.
No, it's okay.
Nah, it's all right.
You aren't made for this kind of job.
Aah~~~~~~
It won't come off.
Finding the wine was very handsome of you but...
I heard he's the famous detective Kindaichi Kouskei's grandson.
Really?!
Wooow!!
Damnit... why'd he have to say useless stuff?
I'm a big mystery fan.
You must tell me more about your grandfather.
Well, there isn't much to talk about.
Calling his grandfather to be the best is true but... his grandson is the opposite of the best.
That is why...
My grandfather and I have nothing in common.
Having such a grandson is an embarrassment. Kindaichi-sensei must be ashamed.
Naaaaw, I don't think he's ashamed.
You're useless~
Piss me offfff...
What happened?
It's here!
What's here?
Vampire...
Eh?? Impossible.
I heard somebody scream.
It's here! Vampire...
What?
Vampire eh...
I'm serious!! I did see it!!
I'm not saying you're lying.
Don't butt in on things, moronic brat.
Eh?! Moronic brat? What kind of language are you speaking?
Oh, really... what is going on?
Don't need to think too hard about it.
Right.
In case, anything happens,
everyone must be very careful-
I'm opening the door.
What happened?
Bathtub...
Bathtub... it's red
It's blood.
Blood?
Who's is it?
Can't be...
Miyuki?
Oi, Miyuki!!
Oi!!
What's wrong?
Miyuki isn't here.
Kengochi-san
over there...
That's Kaitani-sans's bedroom.
Miyuki?
Oi! Miyuki?
What's wrong?
Hajime-chan...
Kaitani-san...
She's dead.
What's all the noise about?
What... happened?
What happened, Miyuki?
A vampire...
killed Kaitani-san right before my eyes,
and after that...
Stop kidding around...
There's a bite mark here...
Can't be...
No way...
I told you!! I told you there was a vampire!!
The vampire from 50 years ago is alive!!!
Calm down.
I am an officer.
If you're an officer, then do something quickly!!!
I know, but please
calm down.
Miyuki,
your neck has a bite mark.
What?
I've...
been bitten by the vampire as well?
Ooh~~
Oi!
What are you doing?!
Oi!
Of course, I'm taking pictures to give to the police later.
Youhei-kun, please call the police
You can't be serious...
How can we continue to stay here?
Drive the car out.
Drive it out!
Yes, right away.
Wait a minute, Futakami-san.
I wish for you to help me investigate this.
Why me? Aren't the police coming?
If we're to investigate a dead body, it would be best if we do it as soon as possible.
Before the police comes, everyone, please wait downstairs
It is dark outside right now. Nobody should leave this house. Please.
It's impossible, I called many times, but the call won't go through.
Then, what do we do?
In that case, no matter how long we wait, the police will never come.
We've finished investigating.
She was chocked to death.
The bite mark on her neck was after her death.
Without official equipment,
we are not sure if it is true. There is not one drop of blood left in her body.
It was all sucked up?
I cannot drive the car out.
The tire on the car has been cut up.
What?! Then what do we do?!
Do you want us to just sit here and wait?
What about the bike I rode here?
I could not find that as well.
You can't be serious...
Then that means...
We're stranded
in a house with a vampire.
Um... may I ask what time did the victim die?
Around 8 to 9 p. M...
The same time we were listening to the owner tell the story.
At that time, somebody could've left his seat for a while. But, nobody would've been on the 2nd floor.
That's why I've been saying it's a vampire!
But, the only way to go to 2nd floor is this stair case.
The killer went up without any of us seeing. It's impossible.
Then what's going on?
The fact is Kaitani-san has been murdered!
That means... the murderer is amongst us?
At that time... the only person on the 2nd floor was...
What?
Are you saying I killed her?!!
Aoko-san was just...
Go away!!!
You did it!!
Ah... no... it's not me!!
Don't move! If you do, I'll shoot.
You want to kill all of us?!
Wa-wait...
Wait a second!
How would you know this man's the killer?
He was the only one on the 2nd floor.
Then, how did he bring Miyuki up to the 2nd floor?
In that case, wouldn't we all have been able to see?
It isn't logical...
Yah! That's right.
Futakami-san, give me the gun.
Give it to me!
Unless... they used the elevator?
Eh?
In that case, it's possible that, while we weren't looking, he brought Miyuki-san to the 2nd floor.
Shut up! You don't know anything!
But... the only amount the elevator can hold is about 45 kg.
Let's test it.
I can't...
I'm 47 kg...
In that case, let's test how much it can hold.
Only 46.1 kg...
That's enough. Now we know this is impossible.
You're right.
It's late. Let's all go up and rest.
The day after tomorrow, there should be a car coming up.
Until then, we might come up with a solution.
Let's go~
Get some rest.
Thank you.
Hajime-chan.
Why wasn't I killed?
And why was I brought to Kaitani-san's room?
I don't know, either...
In this kind of situation, what would your grandfather do?
Why are you bringing up my grandfather?
Please, Hajime-chan...
Solve this mystery.
Me?!
Because... I have a feeling that, if we don't do something now, something else will happen...
Wait...
What are you talking about? This is a murder case!
I can't do anything about it.
If I butt in, I might get killed.
Don't worry. We have officer Kengochi. Right?
Well, it's late. Go sleep.
Good night.
Who is it?
English Translations: KanJi + Ayumi
Timing provided by tianj.
What happened, Miyuki?
What happened?
Vampire...
No way...
Officer Kengochi!
Kengochi-san?
What happened?
Are you okay?
I was chasing the vampire...
Vampire...
Old man... are you okay?
My leg is injured.
Until morning, you must lock your door.
Mm... ne, Hajime-chan?
Yes?
Can you capture the vampire?
Didn't I tell you I can't?
Can we... not talk about this anymore?
I think if it's up to Hajime-chan, you can do it.
You must be tired. Go sleep, ne?
In elementary school,
when my shoes were hidden by those guys,
that time, you found my shoes, didn't you?
Don't compare finding shoes with finding vampires, okay?
Are you scared of vampires?
That's not the problem.
It's somebody else's problem.
It's not just somebody else's problem.
If you don't do anything, something will happen.
Hajime-chan and I could be next, and we wouldn't even know!
Is that not a problem?
Why?
Why do you always give up in the beginning?
Why are you so angry?
This is a murder case!
It's a vampire.
Either way, I can't do anything.
Isn't there a police officer? Just let him do all the work.
The Hajime-chan I knew wasn't like this.
When did you become such a wuss?
Then what do you know of me?
We were just childhood friends. Stop acting as if you know me so well.
Scaredy-cat. I can't believe you're Kindaichi Kouskei's grandson. Can't believe you...
I'm not my grandpa!!
What a joke? Who do you think you are?
Who is it?
Oh, it's you.
What are you doing here?
I'm keeping guard against the vampire.
I'm not like you, who's trying to run away.
I'm not running away.
Useless...
Leaving your close friend because you're scared of vampires.
Are you even a man?
This has nothing to do with you!
I hate these kinds of people.
You were the person who found the wine, right?
After the murder, you were the one who proved evidence that he wasn't the murderer. How can you do it?
Because you have the gift of your grandfather.
Why don't you use it?
Don't act like you know everything.
And right now, mystery isn't popular anymore.
My grandpa is my grandpa!
I am me!
Having that kind of gift
is to use it to protect the ones you care about, isn't it?
Why are you grabbing some student and talking about this? Aren't you a police officer?
Do you just want to stand on the side forever?
Eh?
If it has nothing to do with you, you don't do anything.
Only when there are girls involved, you do something about it.
You listen... this is a murder case.
I can't do anything about it!
And plus, I don't even know what's going to happen next.
It is because we don't know what is going to happen... that is why we face it.
Kindaichi Kouskei's grandson, you listen,
you're only a wuss.
Go to sleep now, brat.
Just looking at your face makes me angry.
I'd go even without you telling me to.
And stop calling me a brat.
Good morning.
Morning.
Are you feeling better?
Yes... and you?
Yup.
Are you okay?
Yes, thank you.
You and Kindaichi-kun are good friends?
Yes.
The little Hajime-chan... even though he wasn't as popular,
if the class were missing something
or if I had a problem, he'd always help me.
And say, "I'm Kindaichi Kouskei's grandson!"
But now...
Maybe that kid wants to become a normal person.
Eh?
And, he has no self-esteem for himself right now.
Self-esteem?
When he grew up, he realized just how great his grandfather was
and often compared himself with his grandfather.
Even though he keeps saying, "I am me,"
maybe, he lost the real "me."
Then how can he turn back to the old Hajime-chan?
Must wait for the chance...
If he wants to return to himself,
there might be someone who can help him.
It seems your leg is not broken.
How does it feel?
It should be all right.
The Kengochi-san right now should be useless to us now?
Get some rest.
Thank you.
Where's Futakami-san and Nekoma-san?
Futakami-san's door has the "Do Not Disturb" sign on, so I did not wake him.
But Nekoma-san...
What the?
He must be kidding... how can I stay in a place like this?!
Wait a minute! It's dangerous over there!
Help me catch her!
I'll go!
You guys go too!
Hurry!
What happened?!
Ah! Over there!
It must have been put here in the morning.
What is that?
[Who ever walks out. Will die]
Youhei-kun, the propane gas isn't working very well. Could you look at it?
Yes.
What the hell is happening to us?!
The detective is hurt, and we can't leave!
Really!!!
Are we just waiting to die?
I won't!
I don't want to die!
Shut up!
Don't you feel anything?
You say something, too.
Is there nothing we can do besides accept our own destiny?
That's easy enough to say.
Are you the vampire?!?!
Please calm down.
This sort of pension won't come around twice.
You mean, if we survive...
Kindaichi-kun! I found your bike!
Eh?
This is harsh. Who did this?
Besides that, why now?
I ate well.
You...
...have a wound on your back...
Eh?
Me? Where?
It's blood...
Eh?! Why?!
There's blood on the chair back...
Did you sit down without knowing,
or was there blood on your back to begin with?
I'll go change.
Why did things happen like this?
Save me...
Hajime-chan!
The room... covered with blood...
What's wrong?!
Futakami-san's dead...
What?
Please calm down.
There's a wound on the left side of his forehead.
He was beaten to death.
On his throat... there's another wound.
If you have nothing to do with this, stay outside!
Definitely a vampire...
We're all going to die.
We're all going to be eaten by the vampire!
Youhei-kun, could you please move everyone outside?
Please take pictures of the scene.
I will even if you don't ask.
Miyuki-san, what did you do with the key when you left?
Of course I locked it.
Owner, is there another key to this room?
No... there isn't
'cause this place is in ruins.
Then isn't this a murder in a closed room?
A murder in a closed room?
She locked the door and went to breakfast
then returned to find the body here.
I'm telling you, it's the vampire!
A vampire's too concentrated.
Could it be we're ignoring the most possible person?
Me?
If you think about last night, there are many things that are suspicious.
Eh? It couldn't be...
Now that I think about it, when the second murder happened, only Miyuki-san was there.
It seems to be so...
But I'm not guilty.
Only you
had the chance to kill them.
That's right.
Someone who's been bitten by a vampire becomes a vampire.
Just a second.
Miyuki-chan...
Youhei-kun, you too... I...
It's dangerous!
Miyuki!
Oi! Miyuki?
Oi!
Oi, Miyuki!
Are you okay?
Oi?
Miyuki!
Hey!
Miyuki!
Hajime-chan?
Miyuki...
What would your grandfather have done in a situation like this?
Are you giving up without knowing how things could turn out?
If it's Hajime-chan, you can do it.
Don't you have what it takes to protect the people close to you?
Sorry... Miyuki...
Hajime-chan...
Are you feeling better?
Neh...
Could I have killed those two people while I was unconscious?
What sort of stupid talk is that?
I can't trust myself.
After being bitten by the vampire,
I just sit around aimlessly.
I believe you,
so believe in yourself.
Miyuki.
I'll try.
I'll protect you.
Hajime-chan...
This case... I'll solve it
on my grandfather's name.
Why Miyuki?
Eh?
I mean, even if it were a situation where you were unable to resist,
you would've been a hindrance to the murderer.
So, that means
there's a reason why the culprit picked Miyuki.
That's the key to solving this mystery.
I know you don't want to keep thinking about it,
but can you remember when Kaitani-san was murdered?
When I came to, I was tied up and couldn't move.
But, when I tried to move,
I could see a white electrical cord in front of me.
When I followed that cord,
Kaitani-san was under the stand.
What kind of room was it?
There was only one window.
Besides that, nothing much...
One window...
Then, could you draw it out for me?
The only room with one window is Kaitani-san's room.
Isn't it impossible
to move Miyuki to that room
without getting caught?
Ah~ __ Kenmochi
What is it?
I...
I have to solve this case.
What changed your attitude?
Do me a favor. Help me.
It's, "I'm asking you. Please help me."
I'm asking you...
All right, then. What is it you don't get?
First, what I don't get... I don't get this.
What?
It's not possible...
If Miyuki was moved using this,
then Yasuike-san's alibi is false.
All right. Can't you use strength, then?
Oi!
Stop.
Don't be so annoying,
you *****
Ha?
It's impossible with this elevator.
Without tearing a person to pieces...
To pieces?
How was the bathtub filled with blood?
And how was the hidden bike put back where it was?
What do you want with me?
Not much...
I just wanted to ask.
The past Futakami-san and Kaitani-san...
both have some connection to you, right?
Why?
When I first met them
and asked if you came together,
"Together? We're not together."
They immediately denied it.
Coming together means you're associates, right?
Their denial seems unnatural,
And when you first appeared, their reaction weird...
And they walked through the maze-like building without hesitation, like they knew where to go all along.
It doesn't seem to be a lie that you're Kindaichi's grandson.
Could it be that Kaitani-san
worked at the hospital as a nurse long ago
before it was shut down?
Both you and the deceased Futakami-san as doctors...
What are you trying to say?
Why did you come here?
I don't need to tell you that.
No, wait!
Excuse me.
What's going to happen, Detective?
I can't say anything about this situation...
Detective.
I was organizing Futakami-san's room, and...
This...
A medical examination card.
What are you doing?
Tsuji Yuria?
Who's this Tsuji Yuria?
Ah~ that's the name of the daughter of a man who died about a year ago at this hotel alone.
What is this...
Blood type... Bombay Type?
A rare blood type... it must've been difficult to treat her.
What's a "Bombay Type"?
It's a rare blood type that was discovered by mistake in India.
Because it's impossible to receive a transfusion from different types,
it's really dangerous if in an accident or during illness.
Is that so...
Why would this be in Futakami-san's room?
This Tsuji Yuria?
Did she die
somewhere in this building?
In the basement...
Basement?
Ah... the power's out.
Ah, then let's use this.
This stand... the electric outlet...
It's at the back.
Right now, this is the storehouse,
but, back then, there was a bed here.
I think Yuria-san died over there.
What're in these boxes?
There are pictures and things from the hotel's earlier days.
I didn't think they should be thrown away, so I just left them.
Eh? Is this Yuria-san?
Probably.
This person...
This...
Hiro-san?
You're the culprit, aren't you?
Let's end this now.
Ah!
(lots of sponsors)
(hey, look, more~ or are these repeats?)
Are you okay?
The mark on the door... curtain...
That!
The detective took this from Yasuike-san's room...
Where's Yasuike-san?
He isn't here.
He probably ran away.
His luggage was untouched.
So he was the culprit...
It'd be nice if we can catch him based on this,
but we can't relax until we find him.
He was involved with real estate.
Lilies Real Estate?
Do you know it?
Know of it. His office picks ruined places to take their pensions. [?]
He even made some serious threats.
I see... Yasuike-san isn't the culprit...
What are you saying?
Then, what's this?
Yeah, why would he have this?
He deliberately frightened people to annoy them.
Deliberately?
Couldn't he have disguised himself as a vampire to scare people?
So the pension doesn't go elsewhere?
Then you're saying he killed just to scare people?
No... so he didn't kill anyone.
The vampire is someone else...
So it's impossible for it to be him.
And the reason is?
Yasuike-san kept his right hand in his pocket
and only used his left hand.
There are many people like that.
But, no one eats with his right hand in his pocket.
It could be that his right hand is damaged.
I see...
the person who murdered Kaitani-san
used both hands to strangle her.
Futakami-san had wounds on on his forehead from being beaten,
and they were caused using the right hand.
Therefore, Yasuike-san, who can't use his right hand,
couldn't be the culprit.
Then, who is it?
What you're saying is only simple speculation.
That's Miyuki's voice!
Miyuki?! Miyuki! What's wrong?
Break it.
Okay.
Wait...
What's wrong?
Yasuike-san is...
Yasuike-san...
An artificial arm?
So he couldn't use his right hand at all...
There's no wound on the neck like before.
This might have been a planned murder.
When he saw that Futakami-san was dead,
could he have seen the murderer?
So he was killed so he wouldn't say anything.
So is that he was killed?
Why suddenly a bath?
I slept a lot, so I sweat. I felt uncomfortable...
Why didn't you open the door right away?
That's... I was going to bathe, so I wasn't wearing anything.
Don't look at me like that.
It's not like that...
Ara? Isn't your hair shorter?
Mm?
It really is...
Why was it cut?
The first murder... where Kaitani-san was killed...
The real murderer, though some method, moved Miyuki, who was in the bathroom,
to Kaitani-san's room on the second floor.
And the second murder...
Futakami's murder.
The culprit put Futakami-san's corpse
in Miyuki's room when the key was in the door. [?]
But, why Miyuki?
Why did the murderer deliberately have Miyuki witness every event?
Division.
Both the perfect alibi and the closet trick can be solved through the same method.
Now, I know the vampire's identity.
Hajime-chan... really?
Yeah.
I figured it out.
What is it, calling everyone here?
Do you mean to lock us all up in prison?
Yes.
What?
Please listen.
I ask, also.
This is a stupid waste of time.
Hey, everyone, let's just hear him out.
Everyone.
The vampire is in this room.
But, by that, I mean the person who used the vampire act to murder people.
The culprit committed such an impossible crime by dividing confusion.
Dividing confusion?
Yes.
First. Futakami-san's blood in the closet.
When Miyuki opened the door and discovered blood on the floor,
was Futakami-san's body already there?
What do you mean?
The culprit, when Miyuki went downstairs,
moved the blood into the room through a tube under the door
and, after Miyuki opened the door
and ran downstairs,
moved the body into the room.
Then, the culprit exploited the confusion of murder behind closed doors
as division.
I see...
But that seems to be leaving too much to chance.
If Miyuki-san had gone to the room with someone else,
there would've been no chance to move the body.
That's exactly the murderer's clever planning.
Everything was planned so Miyuki would have an excuse to go to her room alone.
What do you mean, excuse?
When everyone was in the kitchen,
the bike was placed where it could be easily discovered,
so the old man and I were called outside easily.
And, at the same time,
by putting blood on Miyuki's chair back before
and making sure the blood would be discovered,
the situation was created where Miyuki would have to go change alone.
I see...
But, even such a clever culprit
makes small mistakes.
Mistakes?
Honestly, I started to suspect the culprit just now
when we went running to Miyuki's scream.
"Wait."
That's when I realized someone's
decidedly unnatural behavior.
And, if I argued that person to be the murderer,
all the questions lead back to one.
The hall that can't carry over 50 kg.
The hidden devil's blood wine.
The bike's location.
The bathtub filled with blood.
All these point to one person as the murderer.
The culprit is...
you!
The culprit is...
you!
You killed three people.
You're the vampire
What are you talking about?
Kindaichi-san, do you have some basis to your accusation?
I do.
The incident in the bathroom last night.
The image you showed
hinted at your plans
and confirmed that you're the culprit.
Right now, after hearing Miyuki scream,
when we went running,
Miyuki was panicked
but didn't open the door right away.
Why? She was going to take a bath,
so she wasn't wearing anything.
It didn't take us more than ten seconds to run there,
and maybe we took a little longer in opening the door.
But, last night, you saw the blood in the tub and screamed,
and, when we came, "the tub..."
you had a towel wrapped around yourself
like you knew we would come running immediately, unlike Miyuki.
That's definitely true...
You filled the tub with Kaitani-san's blood then screamed.
You showed us the tub filled with blood,
acting like something had happened and gathering everyone in one place,
so Kaitani-san's body could quickly be discovered.
Why would I do that?
If the body were to be discovered soon, Futakami-san would easily be able to determine the time of death on examination.
Then, your alibi would be set.
So stupid...
That's just mere speculation.
I have an alibi.
When Kaitani-san died last night, I didn't go upstairs.
Everyone knows that.
The murder didn't take place on the second floor.
Not the second floor?
Then where?
I'll show you now
where the murder really took place.
This is the basement storeroom where Kaitani-san was murdered.
This...
What happened?
There's a bed...
This isn't a bed...
just boxes stacked together.
And what seems like a window
is just a curtain against the wall.
This...
A bed under a sheet,
A window beneath a curtain...
it's a simple but clever trick.
But, a singular mistake
was this stand's cord.
The stand's cord...
In Kaitani-san's room,
the cord and outlet are hidden by the bed,
but, because this is a storeroom, the outlet
is near the entrance.
That's why a cord passed through the middle of the room.
Miyuki remembered that.
So what are you trying to say?
Even if this is where the murder took place,
it doesn't work if she isn't moved to the second floor,
and we already confirmed she couldn't be moved by the elevator.
There is a way to move her by elevator.
By dividing her.
Miyuki-san's alive.
Are you saying she moved her by cutting her up?
Even while she's alive, she could be taken apart.
While still alive?
Blood. By drawing blood.
That's why you exploited the story of the vampire in this area, isn't it?
***
About 1/13.
How much blood can you donate?
About 1/4.
Miyuki weighs 47 kg. 47 x 1/13 = 3.615
1/13 of Miyuki's 47 kg is
about 0.9.
Yes. This is how much blood you could draw from Miyuki.
If you subtract that from her weight, then
46.1 kg.
"Can it take up to 46.1 kg?"
That's as much as the elevator takes.
But, the person you planned to have witness Kaitani-san's murder
and put on the elevator
was Nekoma-san, wasn't it?
What? Me?
"Those who weigh more than 50 kg, please go over there."
You wanted to confirm the weight of Nekoma-san
who'd been here several times before, right?
But...
"Then, I guess I can't 'cause I weigh too much."
You probably felt agitated that your plan wouldn't work,
but, at that moment...
"I should be okay. I weighed myself today and came in at 47 kg."
So you changed your witness to Miyuki.
After you confirmed Miyuki had gone into the bathroom alone,
you drugged her then moved her to the basement.
There, you killed Kaitani-san who was there with her,
made her witness it,
then started drawing her blood.
"Aoko-chan"
"Aoko-chan!"
"Yes!"
In between, you went from the first floor to the basement
and made your alibi by not going to the second floor.
But, something unexpected happened.
Something unexpected?
Yes. The owner told you to take Yasuike-san's wine
as he went up to the second floor.
But, if you went up there, your alibi would be broken,
so you hid the wine and created confusion.
You needed time to create your alibi.
Once enough time passed to clear you of suspicion,
you moved Miyuki after drawing her blood and the corpse
to Kaitani-san's room on the second floor using the elevator.
That's impossible.
Think about it. Last night, we tried putting Miyuki-san in the elevator
right after the murder,
but she went over the elevator limit.
If it's as you said about the blood,
then the elevator would have moved.
That's true. It didn't move.
You put her blood back
through a transfusion.
Transfusion?
That's the reason you used the story of the vampire
to kill people, isn't it?
Whether you draw or transfuse blood,
needles leave marks.
So, to hide them and accomplish your murders,
you used the story of a vampire.
You were probably a nurse before.
You knew what a Bombay Type was
right when the term came up.
Unless you're an officer like this old man,
you can't know terms like that so readily.
Do you have any definitive proof?
If you really want to make me the culprit,
then show me the proof.
I have proof.
Huh?
If you really want to make me the culprit,
then show me the proof.
I have proof.
Huh?
A human's body isn't as light as hair.
Even if you drew her blood,
the elevator probably didn't move,
so, as a last means,
you cut Miyuki's hair
then moved her.
You probably hid her hair somewhere in a hurry.
Of course...
Something that sticks like hair stays behind.
Old man.
I'll have this examined.
So, you were the vampire of this case.
Aoko-san.
The real vampires are the people I killed.
You... can't be... Yuria?
Yes.
I'm the younger sister of Tsuji Yuria who was murdered here six years ago.
What?
When I was twelve, I lost my mum.
My dad was the owner here and had a wife,
so I was told I couldn't meet him.
I had no other family, so I looked all over for my father.
"A kid like you isn't mine, so don't come here again."
He kicked me out.
But, then...
"Just a second!"
"I wanted to meet you."
"I always wanted to meet you."
"Dad'll forgive you soon for sure."
"When that day comes, let's live together."
"Mm."
"Take this as a voucher of our promise."
And, dreaming of living with my sister,
I studied hard and became a nurse.
When I came here to show my success to Sis,
the hotel was ruined,
and Sis had died, leaving only a mystery.
To look into Sis' death,
I worked at the hospital in the area,
and, there, I stumbled across uncomfortable information.
I kept the medical examination card with me.
That kid's blood type was also Bombay type...
Six years ago, she was horribly wounded in an accident
and was saved by the blood of someone in the countryside.
I thought it was weird that there was
the Bombay Type in this country hole.
I'm also Bombay Type...
Aoko-san's a Bombay Type, too...
When I asked,
I found out that, if you paid 50 million yen to the officials at the hospital,
you could get Bombay Type blood.
I heard someone gave them the money.
I was shocked.
The time of the child's accident
coincided with my sister's death.
I found the medical examination card at the country hospital
Sis went to,
and my suspicions were confirmed.
Sis was killed
by giving blood to someone else.
I decided to get revenge.
I invited the three vampires
who'd taken her blood to this place.
Three?
Yes.
At that hospital, there were two doctors
and one nurse.
Futakami...
Kaitani...
And
Hiro Keisuke.
Futakami...
Kaitani...
And
Hiro Keisuke.
Die! Vampire!!
Stop!
Let me go! Let me kill him!
Hiro-san...
Hiro-san!
Why did you do that?
Yuria was my lover.
She had no hope left.
She knew she didn't have much longer to live.
At that time, the girl happened to be brought to the hospital after her accident.
After learning she had Bombay Type,
I transfused blood till the last.
I'm also a Bombay Type.
Hiro-san, too?
Yes.
When I finally came to,
I found out the girl had survived
and that Yuria had died.
The police account stated
that Yuria had no more blood left
and that villagers had witnessed the vampires approaching Yuria,
while Futakami and Kaitani had come to the village
and exploited the vampire stories
to take Yuria's blood and kill her.
You're the ones who killed Yuria, aren't you?
I'm going to call the police.
It'd be best not to do that.
If you do such a stupid thing,
the child will be placed in the most difficult situation.
Do you want to hurt her by telling her truth when she doesn't know anything?
My life ended then.
I wanted to kill myself,
but I couldn't.
You're Yuria's younger sister.
If only I could have known that sooner...
Hiro-san!!
Aoko-san! You have the blood!
You can save him with your blood!
Only you can save him!
No...
He just passed over Sis' death.
I... was always lonely.
Living with Sis...
My lonely soul finally felt at peace...
But they...
Are you just going to watch
the man who loved your sister die?
Save him!
This isn't my voice! It's your sister's voice!
My sister's?
Isn't your older sister
the one who wants to save him most?
Aoko-san!
Where are you going?
I'll bring the things for a transfusion.
Rip his shirt, and block the wound.
Yohei-kun, scissors.
Yes.
I'll save him.
This is fine, right?
This is?
The hospital.
You gave a lot of blood, so you'll be dizzy.
And Hiro-san?
He'll live.
He's in the next room.
That's good...
You gave so much blood it became dangerous for you,
so we called the girl your sister saved and drew blood from her.
Now, Yuria-san's blood is flowing through your veins.
Sis...
And we just heard from Hiro-san.
It seems that, before she died, Yuria-san said,
"My life is of no concern.
If I can save her with my blood,
please save her life."
Please tell Hiro-san,
"Thank you for loving my sister."
I will.
Miyuki-chan, are you doing well?
Honestly, I've always liked you,
but I've come to understand
that there is an amazing person who believes in you
at your side.
When you can, please come see us again.
I'll email again. Then, later.
One more lap.
Okay.
Someone who believes in me...
Oi! Raise your speed! Hey!
Ah~ that's good~
Hajime-chan,
you're late.
I've been here awhile.
Oi! Takane Takashi! Lift your legs higher!
Shut up!
You run, too!
It's fine to yell,
but you hurry and run, too.
Yes...
Hajime-chan.
Mm?
Thanks for believing in me.
What's this? So randomly...
I trust Hajime-chan from now on, too,
so you...
I... Hajime-chan...
Yo! How've you been?
Old man! What happened?
Not "old man" but "detective."
How long are you going to call me that?
I couldn't thank you properly before.
Ah~ you don't have to...
No, I have to do it properly, or it won't do.
I first thought you were just a stupid kid.
No, no, old man. You don't use proper Japanese either.
Stupid kid, rock head,
no one uses these terms anymore.
Oi, you.
What's with this tone to someone who came to see you like this?
I'll tell the school again.
What! I didn't do anything wrong just now!
Weird old man...
Thanks for last time.
Then... maybe I should run...
***
The Japanese you use isn't Japanese.
I don't get what you're saying.
So...
Be someone who doesn't run away but confronts... something like that...
I guess I should run, too.
I'll see you later~
Don't hurry.
He's a good kid.
Really?
Miyuki-chan, you honestly think so, too, don't you?
That is...
No...
If I ask, will you come again? [?]
Ah~ where do you live?
Shitaguchi.
I'm at Kanawa, so I stop once at Keitogusen!
Right?
What do you mean "good kid"? Not at all!
Hajime!
I got caught. This is bad~ this is bad~
What are you doing?!
Stop right there!
Really dangerous...
I said wait!
Don't wanna!
Stop right right there!
But, I don't wanna!
What is this?
Be a little honest!
Don't wanna!
