Huh? Now that I think about it, it's almost Valentine's Day.
Yes it is...
Kyoko-chan...
Are you gonna make some homemade chocolates?
Nah..
I did it back in elementary school...
It's a pain to do it.
C'mon, make them.
Ryosuke-kun...
Who are you calling "kun?" At least use "san."
Ryosuke-san...
Do you want Valentine's Day chocolates from Kyoko-san?
What?
Yea...
Kindaichi you want some too, don't you?
Not really...
It's gonna be giri-chocolate anyways. Giri-chocolate: Chocolates women give to men out of obligation, not romance, on Valentine”Æs Day. Men also have to give an obligatory gift to the women a month later.
Yep.
Kyoko-chan, that's a bit direct.
Valentine's Day is just an event.
No one really wants to confess anything to anyone.
Girls love themselves by making chocolate.
I see..
It's called "Self-Love."
I just learned something new.
But Hajime-kun...
Getting nervous while giving and receiving presents...
It”Æs fun, isn't it?
Not really.
Kindaichi, are you not interested in girls?!
There are no girls that I'm interested in.
Uncute...
I'm not living for the sake for other people say I'm cute.
I'm going to the library because it seems there aren't any cases.
Excuse me..
Hello.
This is a detective agency, right?
Yes.
Kaneda-kun.
Yo.
A friend?
Yea.
I'm his classmate, Kinoshita Rei.
I want to request an investigation..
Then this way please.
Sit down.
Pardon me.
Um...
I don't want you to hear this.
What?
So...
Hajime-kun, sorry...
Can you leave us alone for a bit?
Kindaichi!
Minato-Motomachi Jr. High 1st year student: Fujiwara Tsuyoshi.
Before Valentines Day, I want you to find out whether or not...
He has a girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Understood.
We accept.
Keep this secret from Kaneda-kun, please.
It appears that he likes me.
Ok.
It's not like I want to break his dreams...
I was thinking about giving him some giri-chocolates.
Please be nice.
Then if you'll excuse me.
I'll walk you downstairs.
Thank you.
You heard?
Giri-chocolates..
Bad things happen in life, too.
Thanks for waiting.
Xie xie.
Itadakimasu.
Delicious.
Are you sure you're cooperating?
Yes.
Look, this is so delicious. Lots of chestnuts in it.
Whatever, hurry up.
- I want to eat Annin-Tofu. - Let's go. (Annin-Tofu: Sweet coconut-milk jelly with a hint of almond essence, served with fruit on top. It's called "tofu" because of the way it looks.)
- I want to eat Annin-Tofu. - What? (Annin-Tofu: Sweet coconut-milk jelly with a hint of almond essence, served with fruit on top. It's called "tofu" because of the way it looks.)
Oh, fortune cookies.
Whatever, hurry up.
The victim is Takeuchi Natsuko-san.
This bakery's pati pati pati...
A Pātissier? (French: Pastry Chef.)
Yes. (French: Pastry Chef.)
It seems she was struck in the head while they were having tea together.
This looks good.
Igarashi-san!
Punpun! (*-_-)
Who are these people?
The anti-tasting squad.
Good work.
Two days ago,
A pati pati pati...
Pātissier
Was killed, too.
At the scene of the store,
A cake made in this shop was left there.
What about this cake?
Yep.
It's not from this store!
What?!
It doesn't look too appetizing..
But it smells good.
The pati pati pati pati who made this cake..
Pātissier.
Is going to get killed... This is a warning.
Warning?
If they die in every 2 days, then next incident is the day after tomorrow.
That means, on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day, huh..
Momo-chan!
Long time no see!
Igarashi...
Why is Kuitan here?
Because this incident is about food. So..
The chief called him, that's all.
I don't acknowledge it.
My apologies.
But, because he's Kuitan, he can tell which shop...
This cake came from.
That's right.
So what shop is it from?
I won't know unless I eat it.
Momo-chan~
How many times do I have to tell you..
If you call me by my first name again..
- It's kinda too violent to say "I'll beat you up." - Yes yes yes.
- You calling me "Igarashi~" is also... - Yes yes yes...
Fine then.
If you can't find the store that made this cake..
You can never work with us again.
Understand?
Yes, understood.
Gladly.
Itadakimasu.
Hey...
Hm?
Whatever, just hurry up.
Ok...
It's pretty embarrassing to be looked at with such a serious face...
Then I'll do a small one..
Hey. Hurry up...
Ok.
Delicious!

Bicycling is fun. Yea, Kindaichi?
Pon!
File 5: Eat a Lot of Valentine's Chocolates!!!
This is the school zone?
Yea..
Picture.
Ok.
He looks like him?! yea yea.
So cute!
They were talking about me, right?
No way, dummy, it was me.
That's the guy!
Hold it.
It's too early..
But, it's pretty sad to compare you to
Fujiwara-kun...
Your squeaking is too noisy!
I'm sorry.
Put some oil in there..
Ok.
Is he gonna meet someone?
Slowly, slowly.
Yea yea yea yea....
You're being too obvious!!
Those are the guys!!
Oh snap! A patrol car!
Step away!!
W-w-what's going on?!
Kyoko-chan!
Jeez...What are you guys doing?
My apologies.
He called the cops thinking he was being followed by some weirdos.
My bad.
So explain yourself.
Yes sir!
Does he have a girlfr...
What did you want to find out about me?
Even detectives have privacy rights.
Do you wanna stay the night here?
I was asked by some girl from Motomachi Elementary School.
To find out whether or not this kid had a girlfriend.
Ryosuke-kun!!
It can't be helped...
I don't want to spend the night here!
What's the name of this girl?
I can't say.
Why can't you say it? You can say the girl”Æs name, can't you?
Igarashi!
Let's go.
I'm going now.
Don't worry about these guys anymore.
I understand.
I'll leave the rest to you..
Hold on!
What?
The Pātissier serial killer investigation, right?
Why don't you ask Kuitan?
What was that all about?
A second person was killed not long ago.
Hold on, you two..
We're still not finished, here.
Who's the girl?
I'm not saying.
Why are you researching me?
You're pretty slow, aren't you?
Can I say that?
Isn't it obvious? Because she likes you!
So do you have a girlfriend or what?
No.
It's pretty annoying...
So please stay away from me.
She said she likes you..
At least meet her one time or something!
But...
Mama says it's too early to become male-female acquaintances.
Mama?
Male-female acquaintances?
Yes, it's true...
That Takeuchi Natsuko and Asai Kaoru graduated from here.
Same year, right?
Yes.
Is this true?
I just explained it to the investigator that was just here...
Investigator?!
This is good..
Let me have some of this chocolate.
What's this?
Grande Chocolat.
Tres bien~
Momo-chan, what's up?
Kuitan!
Yes?
What are you doing here?
In order to save some money...
I had these students prepare...
Duplications of that cake for me.
Right?
Yes!
Delicious!
But..
It was a bit squishier...
This one has more chocolate.
Wow, looks delicious.
Lemme taste it.
Yummy.
Which one should I eat next?
The Chocolate Shortcake also looks good.
The Opera Cake looks nice, too.
What was that one?
??? au Chocolat.
Let's go.
The only thing he thinks about is food.
There are 20 people the same age as the 2 victims.
10 of them are pātissiers.
The next target is definitely one of those 10.
Let's go question them.
Ok.
Our apologies!
But.. Fujiwara-kun..
It was actually good that it got ruined.
That's for me to decide.
True.
I'm sorry!
Then, Kyoko-san,
Help me make chocolate, please.
Leave it to me.
Bye. Be careful.
Ok.
Bye.
See ya.
The coast is clear, Kindaichi.
Man, Rei-chan sure is cute!
As an apology for screwing up the investigation...
I'm teaching her how to make chocolates.
So you're saying that she hasn't given up on that Jr. high student...
No.
She says they're not for him!
Maybe the homemade chocolates are for you...
If you're a man, you gotta take it all the way.
All the way.
Alright then, all the way.
I'm back!
What's going on?
The Pātissier school students gave me some presents.
A pre-Valentine's day gift, perhaps?
Kyoko-chan.
Yes?
Forks and knives.
Ok.
Are you saying they like you?
I can't hold anymore...
Not that kind of hold...
Oh. Really?
Let's eat.
None for me.
Just the fact that you got all these cakes makes me queasy.
I..
Never get queasy.
Well then. Time to cut the cake!
Hajime-kun, how much do you want?
I don't want any.
What?
I'm not gonna eat chocolate until Valentine's Day.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Hajime-kun, how determined!
Whatever, leave him alone.
Anyways...
How's the Pātissier serial killer investigation going?
The 2 people killed...
Were both students from this culinary school.
Momo-chan is investigating the people on this list.
What about you?
Me?
I'll eat.
You'd better eat all this.
Of course!
How many places have we been to?
That's the victims' classmate. This is the last place.
Is that so..
Maybe not because of school, but...
She was killed for some other reason...?
You may be right.
I want this solved by today.
Yes sir.
I'm counting on you.
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day.
Doesn't it make you wish the people that get chocolate will be happy...
Igarashi-san, who will you spend Valentine's Day with?
There's no one, really.
Take this home to your wife.
Mind your own business.
Is someone worried about you?
Hello!
Oh, Kaneda-kun, were you here?
Yea. I'm a member of Holmes as well.
Really?
Hello.
Shall we go?
Shopping for the chocolates?
Yes. Take any messages.
Laters.
Bye Bye.
Kindaichi..
You want them, don't you? Homemade chocolates..
I'm Ok.
What the hell is that?
You're making it sound like I've got no chance.
Because....I know.
Know what?
I can't say it because it's gonna hurt you.
Huh? What?
Say it..
I can't!!
Say it!!!
It's a secret!!
What the hell, man?!
Kindaichi!!
What you just told me is true, right?
Yes! It's true!
Oh hell no!!!
This way, this way!
Don't stop all of a sudden. That's dangerous!
Over there...
I always see them like that.
They're talking like they know each other well...
He's also tall. Pretty cool!
Knock it off..
What's wrong?
This place is delicious, too.
How can you say stuff like that...
After eating that much?
It looks good!
Takano-san.
Oh, Kyoko-chan. What a coincidence!
Who is this person?
This girl's name is Rei and...
Dad..
What?
Dad!?
Are you a dad!?
Please excuse me, I'll contact you guys later.
Igarashi-san! Huh?
Knark52nd and Dolis! R(LDMR)(/LDM)/C@`
You're Igarashi-san's daughter?!
Did you know, Kindaichi?
No, I didn't.
How can someone with THAT face give birth to a cute girl like Rei-chan?
Oh! It must be from her mom!
Ryosuke-kun.
Shut up.
Because I can't believe it.
It's awesome.
Don't get so excited, Ryosuke-kun. Please sit.
Sit down...
So you don't live with your dad...
Mom and Dad divorced 3 years ago.
The conditions of the divorce...
Were that we meet once every 2 months.
But..
Last December...He didn't show up.
We promised to meet tomorrow, but he said he can't come.
Why?
That's what I want to know..
Sorry..
Idiot!
Shut up, man.
You shut up!
Shut up, both of you.
Please.
Rei-chan...
Why did they divorce?
I don't really understand adult matters.
But...
They may have stopped loving each other.
I thought Dad would always love me.
Hello.
Igarashi-kun, here's some information.
Thank you.
This?
How bothersome...
Ok, Ok...What?
Hello?
Hello? This is Ryosuke.
Do you have a minute?
Where are you now?
At the office.
Please.
I accept.
It was delicious.
You're welcome.
The girl who requested the investigation on that Jr. high student was Rei?
Yes.
She likes guys like that?
It was only a small crush.
There's nothing to worry about.
I'm not worried.
Rei-chan has it all together.
She's not my child.
What are you saying?
I have nothing to do with her.
A father will always be a father.
Remarried...
Are you getting remarried?
Yes.
Who's the bride?
Bride?
I'm going back. Excuse me.
It was delicious.
Good night.
Igarashi-san is getting remarried...
Isn't it mean to say "I have nothing to do with her."?
But who's the bride?
Doesn't look like the kind of guy with a girlfriend...
The only female close to him is...
Just Momo-chan...
To Momo-chan?
Yea...
Here Momo-chan..
Ah~~~
Delicious.
Delicious? Great!
Ok, you're next. Darling.
Nah, I'm Ok...
Igarashi...
Yes?
Where's your "Ah~~~"?
"Ah~~~"?
Ah~~~
You guys are stupid...
That was scary. My head's gonna get weird.
I'm going home.
Hold on. Kyoko-chan.
Kyoko-chan!
I forgot to give these to him...
Itadakimasu.
Valentine's Day...
Kyoko-chan...
That flower shop guy in Moto-machi...
Today's the day the serial killer will strike, right?
Yea.
We've narrowed down the list of suspects, but why are we still having such a hard time solving this?
The person who made the cake at the crime scene will be the next target...
But none of the pātissiers made this cake.
So who made the cake?
Rei-chan...
She won't come to make the chocolates, will she?
She's coming isn't she?
Rei-chan.
Was planning on giving the chocolates to Igarashi-san.
Is that so...
What, Kaneda-kun?
Nothing.
Why are you following me?
Well... Today... Valentine's...
Oh, you're going to Holmes, right?
I'm not going.
Hello.
Is that a UFO?
That thing flying over there.
Where?
You can't see it?
I can't see it.
What? It was a crow.
A crow?
Oh yea. Rei-chan.
You were supposed to make chocolates with Kyoko-chan today, right.
But Dad hates me.
Oh, that's right.
Is your mom getting remarried?
Did you hear it from my dad?
Nope.
Today I'm having dinner with my mom and her fiancØ¦e.
But I wanted to meet my dad.
Igarashi-san..
Wants you to become a new family with your new dad.
I don't know...
How my dad feels.
Isn't it better to tell him your feelings instead?
Right, Hajime-kun...
Hajime-kun?
How long do you intend to stay up there?
Hajime-kun.
If you don't say anything, you can't convey your feelings.
Yea.
Inspector..
Where's Officer Igarashi?
He's out now. What's wrong?
This is Officer Igarashi's daughter.
Hello.
I want to meet my dad this evening, is he busy?
I don't know yet.
Please give this to my dad.
Ok.
If you'll excuse me...
Welcome back.
How was it?
I still can't find it.
The one with that moist, squishy feeling.
How many chocolate cakes did you eat?
25.
25?!
I could've eaten a few more...
Ryosuke-kun...
Are you Ok?
He was sulking, then fell asleep.
You can leave him alone.
Hello!
Rei-chan!
Sorry for being late!
It's Ok. I've been waiting.
Let's get started.
Ok.
Rei-chan, did you bring an apron?
Yes I brought one.
You're even using a thermometer.
It looks like a chemistry experiment.
With making homemade chocolates...
Temperature is important.
A good temperature to melt chocolate is 60 degrees Celsius.
Kaneda-kun, can you put more chocolate in?
Sure.
Kindaichi-kun..you're melting..
Knock it off..
This guy!
It's going to hit 60 degrees Celsius soon.
You're right!
It's melted..
Something smells good.
What?
That's amazing...
It's awful.
This is..
What?
What's wrong?
Kyoko-chan...
I have a request.
Cook it using this.
You're gonna eat rice with chocolate cake as a side dish?
You can't be serious, you dunce.
Right right right...
Ok! It's done!
The chocolate cake at the scene used only egg whites...
And baking powder.
A cake made by a Pātissier would use the yolk...
And without using baking powder, make it fluffy.
Hot!
It was at a bakery, so we've been thinking a Pātissier made this.
It looks good!
You can make a cake using a rice-cooker?
Squishy...
Just as I thought. They were tick marks from a rice-cooker.
So what does this mean?
The chocolate cake left at the crime scene wasn't made in a shop. It was made at home?
Yes!
The person that's going to be killed...isn't going to be a Pātissier...
- A housewife!!! - Right!
I'll check with the list!
Ok!
Prepare to take action!
Ok!
Get off!!
He said "Get off."
You get off !!
Me?
Yes, you!!
Hold on!
This?!
What?
A housewife?
When I confirmed on the phone..
There was a housewife who made a cake before using a rice-cooker.
Who is it?
Sakai Yasuko-san.
Igarashi!
Yes!
Go to Kashimadai!!
Roger!
Also, it seems she once gave that cake to a man named Fukada.
Igarashi! Hurry up!
Understood!
It's Ok. Your dad will take care of it and then come to you.
What are you doing?
I'm going to the suspect's house.
But to go by yourself...
The suspect may not be at home.
He may be out.
Be careful.
Understood.
I'll head on over as soon as reinforcements arrive.
Igarashi.
Yes?
You go here.
What's this?
It doesn't matter. Just go.
To my busy dad, I'll be waiting at 5:00 today at the usual restaurant. - Rei
Vroom vroom!!
But it's way too low..
This is the place.
Inspector Ogata..
Inspector!
Can you hear me?
Don't do anything rash!
Igarashi, the suspect came out.
But even for you!
Inspector!!
Call for backup!
Yes sir.
Kindaichi, here we go!
Ok!
Fukada Yukio?
Stop!
Where's Inspector Ogata?
She just contacted us. She's in pursuit of the suspect. They're headed to a nearby event hall.
Roger that, get over there fast.
Get away! Stay out here!
Here we go...
It's dangerous..
From here on, they need the assistance we promised them.
You wait here.
Don't move!
I told you to stay out!
Look over there.
Inspector Ogata!
Igarashi?!
Stay away!
Why did you come here?
Even if you say "why?"...
Stay back!!
He's holding a pistol... And he's really shooting!!
Don't try anything useless!!
Igarashi, stay back!
Go to your daughter!!!
But...
Igarashi-san, have you ever shot a pistol?
Not a real one..
Drop the gun!!!
Take the bullets out of your pistol and toss it this way.
If you don't do what I say...
This lady detective's head is gonna fly off!
Igarashi. Shoot.
Shoot? At the suspect?
How is shooting at me going to help?!?!?!
This guy's already killed a second person.
I was gonna kill a third today anyways...
I'd be happy to kill an arrogant female detective..
Cut it out.
If you talk, we'd understand.
Why did you kill those two?
We studied in the same class for 1 year...
It's only been 3 years!!!
Those 3 didn't even remember me!!!
You...
Killed them because of that?!?!
It meant a lot to me!!!
If you confessed and got dumped, that'd be understandable, but...!!!
Yea!!
How many people did you think it would Ok to kill?!?!
Shut up!!
But..
You're not acting like a man at all!!
Yea!
Shut up!!
Don't lecture me!!!
Igarashi!
I can't have my pistol shooting innocent victims dead.
Hurry up and shoot this guy!
But..
Whatever, just shoot!!
You won't be able to make it to your date with Rei-chan.
To my busy dad, I'll be waiting at 5:00 today at the usual restaurant. - Rei
Dad..
Don't move. Stay here.
Igarashi!
Shoot!
Idiot! Shoot with your eyes open!!!
Close!
You bastard!!
Where are you shooting?
Igarashi! Do it properly!
Ok!
Excuse me.
Kuitan...
How about you drop that weapon thing..
And eat chocolates together?
This...
Is homemade, so it's really good.
Who are you?!
Chocolates have relaxants in them...
From an ingredient called "gaba" that's inside...
Shut up!
Why did it become like this?
He has one shot left.
You shot my chocolate...
The chocolate that Kyoko-chan and Rei-chan made with their hearts...
You shot it.
I was going to eat it slowly later...
I won't forgive you!!!
Fast!
Thanks.
Stop!!!
Igarashi!!!!!
Where's my dad?
Rei-chan, here.
Dad.
Oh, Rei.
Dad, are you Ok?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Fine? It's just a cast!
Hey, that hurts.
Dad.
Rei, I'm sorry I didn't make it to our date.
Nah, it's Ok.
Rei-chan.
Because of your father's actions, we were able to arrest the serial killer.
Inspector Igarashi!
Yes!
Thank you.
Kuitan...
Yes?
Are your chopsticks Ok?
They're fine.
Really? Good work.
What's this?
I made it with Kyoko-san.
Thank you.
You know, Rei...meeting with me..
You've been...
Trying to be sensitive to mom's fiancØ¦e?
Even if you're not sensitive...
We'll still become a new family with him.
Really?
But...
You'll always be my dad, right?
Yep.
Eat it.
I don't really eat sweet stuff.
Whatever, just eat it.
Rei...
Hurry up and eat it.
I'd be wasting it.
It's fine.
Right? Ah~~~
How is it? Good?
It's delicious.
Ryosuke-kun.
Hajime-kun.
Father!
Father?
Please let Rei and I date!
You brat!!
Of course you were gonna get dumped.
You don't confess in front of the father all of a sudden...
Men get stronger after being dumped time and again.
Right?
Like Ryosuke-kun?
Not "kun." It's "san."
Ryosuke-san...
Did you get any chocolates?
Shut up...
I was doing more important things!
Here you go, Ryosuke-kun!
Kyoko-chan. "Love"...this means...
That's just a joke.
A joke?!
Here, Hajime-kun.
Is this giri-chocolate?
A consolation prize.
Here, Takano-san.
Mine is the only one in a bag!
Am I the favorite?
Kyoko-chan. Could this be a sign?
I said it was a joke.
This is Miyuki?
You got it!
These chopsticks...
It's gold leaf.
It's edible.
Everyone, let's give thanks.
Kyoko-chan. Thank you.
Thank you!
Kyoko-san, how are things going?
With that good-looking flower shop guy.
Idio...
That was too blunt.
What are you guys talking about?
That guy has 2 kids.
Oh, is that so?
That's what I thought, too.
Kindaichi, don't say random things.
Bitter!
Oh, they're 100% cacao.
Pure chocolate is bitter.
Just like life.
Kyoko-chan, these are great.
Mmm. Gold.
