Miyuki was kidnapped in Hong Kong.
Right after that, I met a model named Ran, who's a dead ringer for Miyuki.
Yan Ran (19)
Tokyo Girly Mode in Hong Kong
Soon after I enlisted Ran's cooperation to search for Miyuki,
Shin Li (45)
Chan Yongu (50)
someone was poisoned in front of my eyes.
What's the connection between Miyuki's abduction and this murder?
Sakuma Takeru (29)
I swear I'll solve all of the mysteries!
The Case File of Young Kindaichi Returns
The Hong Kong Kowloon Treasure Murder Case!
Quiet, everyone. I'm Detective Li with the Taiwanese Police.
Li Pai Long (26)
Please stay right where you are.
You're the one who served the soup, correct?
A-Am I a suspect?
Given the circumstances. There was poison in this soup.
It wasn't me!
He's right.
Who are you?
I'm Kindaichi Hajime, a Japanese high school student.
Children have no business interfering with this.
He's the grandson of a super-famous detective in Japan
and his deductive powers, at least, are second to none.
You didn't need to put in the "at least"!
Interesting. Then why don't you tell me what you've deduced?
If the poison was in the soup, then everyone who had it would be dead by now.
But we're not. The poison had already been applied to the victim's bowl.
Before the party, the man named Shin gave up his seat to Chan, who hasn't come back yet.
If you suspect anyone, shouldn't it be him?
Takigawa Ryuta (31)
I've heard that Shin Li-san was employed by Chan-san.
Arrest Shin Li as a material witness.
Yes, sir!
Caller: Nanase Miyuki
It seems I've been kidnapped through a case of mistaken identity.
The people who abducted me keep saying "Dragon Eyes".
Mistaken identity... Then the bad guys really are after...
...Ran's tattoo!
Kenmochi here.
Old man!
What's up, Kindaichi?
I've got an emergency favor to ask.
You're in Hong Kong, right? What is it, another murder case?
Well, yeah... But I want you to investigate a couple people.
Yeah, sure, but why don't you give me the scoop first?
I called Kenmochi.
About Nanase-senpai?
I told him.
And asked him a little favor.
The waiter from before invited us to dinner to thank you for helping him.
Kim Long Dong (23)
I'm Kim Long Dong. I'm a foreign exchange student from Korea.
Long Dong?!
My name uses the characters for "dragon" and "east", but it's read as Long Dong.
Thank you for your help back there.
Oh, it was nothing.
My apartment is near here.
I have a good view of the famous laser show there, so I thought if you're interested...
Awesome! Oooh! Ahhh!
Senpai, you say that for fireworks.
A Japanese person can say it for this, too!
This really is a great view!
Now aren't you happy we came?
Yeah...
After that murder, it was scary being alone in the hotel room.
Thank you for inviting me here.
I'm sure Miyuki-san is fine.
I have faith in that, too.
She really is the spitting image of her...
Miyuki, I promise I'll rescue you.
I swear it!
Please look up.
Up?
Detective Li! Why...?
Shin Li!
I estimate the time of death to be
within an hour after Chan was killed and the dinner was cancelled.
What's the cause of death?
He was beaten to death.
And after he was already dead, his head was slammed into this pillar with tremendous force.
The Poison Dragon is brutal.
Is it the same killer?
You mentioned the name earlier too, the "Poison Dragon", right?
You can't escape the Poison Dragon
This was in the corpse's pocket.
"You can't escape the Poison Dragon".
Detective Li, why did you call me here?
I have no connection with this man.
Are you sure about that?
Even if the killer is after the missing Kowloon Treasure?
If any of you know something about the Kowloon Treasure, speak up.
Why are you asking about that?
Because you're from the Kowloon Palace.
And so were the murdered Chan and Shin.
Apparently, they were friends who'd worked together for years.
You and Chan succeeded. Shin had money troubles.
It seems he would often tap people for money.
Liu Ivy (39)
But the thing is, you were actually strapped for cash yourself.
Of course, so was Chan.
A huge amount of funds is necessary to pull yourself out of the fire.
Like the Kowloon Treasure, a combined 99 carats of the two Dragon Eyes.
Dragon Eyes...
That detective is rude!
Say, how about getting a little fresh air?
Wow!
Beautiful!
It's a million dollar night view.
It looks like a jewelry box!
Kowloon Palace was also known and feared as "the Brothel of the East",
but to me, the place was like a jewelry box full of dreams.
Dreams?
It's where one could get the Kowloon Treasure, said to be diamonds worth billions.
They're the Dragon Eyes, from the statue of a dragon that's still in Kowloon
and literally were the statue's eyes.
A long time ago, people believed the Dragon Eyes were cursed,
so no one dared touch them.
But the man who overcame that superstition
was Wang Long, the so-called Emperor of Kowloon.
Wang Long! Wang Long!
Wang was a genius.
He possessed a talent for leadership and was very popular.
The Dragon Eyes went missing 20 years after he removed them from the statue.
Even now, we're told that they're hidden somewhere here in Hong Kong.
Do you think someone would be willing to kill to get those diamonds?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Well, let's get going.
We're busy from tomorrow morning on, right, Ran-san?
Right.
Oh, I'm sorry. You're actually Miyuki-chan, right?
Yes...
It doesn't look like anyone's doing anything suspicious, you know?
I wonder why Chan made Shin give up his seat then.
Kenmochi
There it is! The old man!
Old Man! That was fast.
He's solved a bunch of tough cases with the help of a Japanese police inspector.
Kindaichi-san is an amazing person!
I got the lowdown on that person.
Takigawa Ryuta was originally a Chinese orphan from Hong Kong.
He was adopted by a Japanese person and became a naturalized citizen.
I knew it...
And as for the Taiwanese detective, Li Pai Long,
I checked him out through the Public Security connections of Superintendent Akechi.
"Granny Glasses" cooperated?!
I can hear you.
Okay, okay... Detective Li is also originally from Hong Kong.
Li Pai Long
Do you know when those two went to Japan and Taiwan?
Takigawa Ryuta
October 1992 for both of them.
Over 20 years ago... Maybe they're both originally from Kowloon Palace.
Why do you think so?
Both of them have ryu, or "dragon", in their name. It's just a hunch, though.
It seems Detective Li is on a special assignment.
Special assignment?
He has the full cooperation of the Hong Kong Police, so it's got to be a major assignment.
I see. Thanks, old man. You've been a big help.
Kindaichi!
This is only my gut instinct, but I don't think the case is just about murder.
It's wrapped up in a bigger case. Be careful.
Yeah, got it.
Like a father's love for his son...
Not him. I'm worried about Nanase Miyuki.
Keep me in the loop if anything happens.
That's unusual. Are you worried too?
About Nanase Miyuki.
Are you from Kowloon too, Kim-san?
Why would you think so?
Like Detective Li and Takigawa-san, you've got "dragon" in your name. Just a hunch...
Other than that, Shin Li's apartment was above yours.
That can't just be a coincidence, can it?
No...
It isn't a coincidence.
My father is Wang Long.
Then...
Yes. Three men murdered my father and one was Shin.
He was my enemy.
What's the Poison Dragon?
This is what my father said right before he died.
"When the Poison Dragon awakens, all will die.
The Poison Dragon will burn everything to the ground."
Burn everything to the ground?
You're...
The Case File of Young Kindaichi Returns
Senpai!
Detective Li is on the phone!
Detective Li?
Ran-san is missing!
What?!
This is blood, isn't it?
Why didn't you say anything about your friend?!
The kidnappers were after Ran!
She alone is the key to the Kowloon Treasure.
Even though the Kowloon Treasure doesn't exist anymore...
Wait a second. What does that mean?
It has nothing to do with you two.
Yes, it does! Miyuki was abducted because of this!
Be honest with me.
If you're originally from Kowloon Palace too, you must know something!
Kowloon Collection Park
You're right. I am from Kowloon Palace.
I figured as much.
Then like Kim-san, are you also a son of Wang Long?
Yes. So Kim Long Dong is my younger brother who fled to Korea, I suppose?
Younger brother?!
Only the highest reaches of government know what I'm about to tell you.
If it leaks, panic will spread through Hong Kong.
Don't tell anyone else, under any circumstances.
It all happened over 20 years ago.
Around that time, it'd been decided Kowloon Palace would be razed.
My father, Wang Long, the so-called Emperor of Kowloon,
traded the Dragon Eyes, the Kowloon independence trump card, for something.
He had begun to negotiate with the Hong Kong government for independence.
But then...
And so, the dream of independence for Kowloon was extinguished.
leaving only the Poison Dragon to destroy Hong Kong.
What is the Poison Dragon?
A bomb powerful enough to level all of Hong Kong.
Y-You don't mean a nuclear...
No, not nuclear,
but a monster produced during the nuclear arms race.
It packs plenty of power to reduce Hong Kong to ashes.
To think, something like that is in Hong Kong...
B-But it won't detonate, right?
As long as nobody pushes the trigger device.
However, it's designed to recognize a power cut as an enemy attack.
Even if the batteries run out.
20 years ago, a Russian military satellite
intercepted a message that a power source was inserted into the triggering device.
What's the battery life?
20 years.
By our calculations, the batteries will run out in ten hours.
In theory, anyway.
T-Ten hours?! We've gotta get out of here! Senpai!
No, I'm staying here.
Senpai!
How could I abandon Miyuki and Ran?!
That tattoo indicates the location of the bomb.
But why would Ran-san have a tattoo that gives the location of the bomb?
Because Ran is the daughter of Wang Long.
When my father was murdered, our mother was pregnant.
She must have given birth after the rest of us were separated.
The fact that the tattoo is an exact duplicate of our mother's is proof of that.
Ran's mother has one too?
She's dead, apparently.
Ran is our only lead. However...
...the all-important Ran is...
I've got it. The tattoo!
Nice one, Saki!
I'm awesome, right?
It's the same.
My mother's tattoo, that I saw when I was young...
What's the red scale?
Oh. It means "wrath".
According to Chinese legend, only one scale of a dragon's body is reversed,
and if it's touched, the dragon will fly into a rage.
"Wrath"...
Nanase Miyuki
Miyuki!
Right now, I'm in a house over a river!
A river?
There's a sign outside with a dolphin on it... and it's pink...
What did Nanase-senpai say?
A pink dolphin!
This is the dragon statue that housed the Dragon Eyes Ivy-san was talking about, right?
Saki, show me the tattoo!
S-Sure!
It's the same...
Certainly...
Then the bomb is here?!
No. It's being used to give a secret code that indicates where the bomb is hidden.
My camera!
Ouch! It's okay...
The image changed.
Wait a second! Pink dolphin...
Dolphin (read as "Sea Pig")
I see! "Sea Pig" doesn't refer to pigs, but dolphins!
You seriously didn't know that?
Hey, Saki, can you zoom in on this?
Sure I can!
It says "Taio"...
I've got it! The village of Tai O!
(You may be able to see pink dolphins here.)
It's supposedly famous for having pink dolphins. See?
Hello?
Huh? Tung Chung Police?
Tung Chung Police
Kindaichi-kun, it's Ran!
What happened?
Um, I was attacked by a man in a red coat with his face hidden.
Then I woke up on a bench in Tung Chung,
and now the police are protecting me.
Tung Chung is between Hong Kong and Tai O.
The criminal must have checked her tattoo, then gone ahead with his plan.
Saki!
Yes?
Can you overlay the tattoo onto this map?
Sure. I'll give it a try.
I was right...
The same shape!
Here. I bet this part with the red scale is where we want to go.
I'll get the cooperation of the local police.
We'll start searching in the meantime!
S-Senpai!
A red coat!
I'll call Detective Li!
Miyuki?!
Ivy-san!
Liu Ivy! She committed suicide?
Was she the Poison Dragon?
Pink dolphin...
Dolphin
Senpai, over there...
Miyuki! Miyuki!
Miyuki! Talk to me! Miyuki!
Nanase-senpai!
Hey, Miyuki! It can't be! Miyuki! Miyuki!
Open your eyes! Hey! Miyuki!
Miyuki!
Ha...jime...
You're okay now...
Nanase-senpai! Thank goodness!
I'm glad you found your friend.
Yeah. What about the other thing?
Still looking for it.
So Ivy-san killed herself because we were chasing her and had nowhere left to run?
Do you really believe that?
This was just used. It's still wet inside.
Besides that, if she'd killed herself,
she would've been gripping the glass tightly, but her palm wasn't wounded.
I see... If she applied pressure, her hand would probably be cut, too.
This is no suicide.
Ivy-san was murdered, just like Chan and Shin!
The real mastermind murdered three people,
and involved Miyuki, who doesn't have anything to do with it.
I swear I'll unmask the identity of the Poison Dragon!
I swear it in the name of my grandfather!
The Case File of Young Kindaichi Returns
While the time limit to Hong Kong's destruction closes in,
we're confronted with a new mystery.
Chan's poisoning was by a new murderous trick!
Was there a weak point within that strict security?
And what was the story of Ivy's death?
I see! I've got it! The identity of the Poison Dragon is...
