FAMOUS DETECTIVE HOLMES
The Targeted Giant Coin Bank
I don't feel like doing this.
Gilmore is a man who is famous for being greedy and cruel.
Besides, this letter doesn't even explain what the case is.
Let's save the fun until after we arrive.
That appears to be our destination...
the Valley of Gilmore.
Does he really own all of this?
What a dirty city this is!
No one looks very happy.
That's a huge cannon.
A product of the Gilmore Company.
I hear he's exporting them all over the world.
Oh! What?
Oh, no...
Well, let's get out and push.
What is this?
Let's get started.
Push!
Here we go!
The more we push, the deeper it sinks.
Hey! You guys!
Grab this rope!
Everybody, please help!
Let's do it.
It really is a bad road.
Heave-ho!
Everybody, pull hard!
Heave-ho!
Well, you really saved us.
It's fortunate you guys brought extra clothes.
I'll wash these for you.
Why don't you stop by here on the way back.
Thank you. But we didn't bring extra hats.
Everyone from out of town falls in the mud.
We want to fix this road but...
Although, the road is really bad, the people in this town are very nice.
By the way, is this the road to the Gilmore's mansion?
You're visiting that mansion?
Yes, we are.
Then wash these yourself?
Don't worry Michael. It's not your fault.
What's going on? Suddenly, everyone's...
Did we say something wrong?
You guys!
Looking for the Gilmore mansion, it's over there!
My goodness.
What is that light?
Brother! Brother!
What is it?
Holmes!
What?!
You're right.
He really is a great detective. He's already detected us here.
Stupid! Don't admire him!
Ignore him. Just ignore him.
Brother, he came back.
Hello!
What's this contraption for?!
Are you digging a well or something?!
That's right!
Good cover.
Don't laugh!
Since there is so much soil, it must be a very deep well.
The water level is very low around here.
I see.
Thanks, sorry to have bothered you.
Let's go to the mansion. We have to tell the Professor.
Damn!
Loafing at work again, I see!
Professor!
It's Holmes! Holmes is here!
What? Holmes?!
I'm sure he knows already.
Do you want to stop digging? We've been losing to him recently.
Why you!
How can we stop after digging so much already!
Stop complaining and get to work!
Yes Sir...
My plan is flawless!
Curse you Holmes!
What is he doing here?
Please wait a moment.
Very well.
I see.
This is the source of the light.
Oh, good boy.
Is this gold plated?
Watson! Watch out!
What are you doing?!
Stop it!
Watson!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
This isn't good!
Holmes!
He must be the security for this statue.
Mr. Holmes, I presume?
You must be Mr. Gilmore.
It looks just like him.
I called you regarding this coin bank.
Is this statue a coin bank?
Here, I'll show you.
You have quite an interesting hobby.
I know.
This special coin bank is the most unique in the world.
However...
on the one day of the year, when I happily count the money...
346,768...346,769...346,...
Oh, no more!
I'm short of gold coins!
Unbelievably, I was twenty coins short!
But you're only twenty coins short out of 300,000 coins...
346,789!
Since then I've done nothing but worry and I've hardly slept!
I feel very sorry about that. But I think I'd rather go home.
Wait.
This is an interesting story.
Let me give it a try.
Oh, why?
He only carries gold coins.
He won't even take food from strangers.
Oh, that makes me even more curious about this.
Is there anybody else who is friendly with this bird?
There's only my son, Michael.
I would like to talk to him. Would you ask him to come?
Be quiet!
Michael is out right now.
He went out?
Is he wandering around downtown again?
Mr. Gilmore, please understand Michael's feelings a little more.
I feel sorry for him.
Don't speak so rudely to me! You are merely his private tutor!
Bring him back here at once! The detective wants to meet with him!
I'm Holmes.
I'll talk to Michael later.
You can go back now.
Is that downtown over there?
I have been calling that place downtown.
Everything you can see below this mansion is all my property.
The town, the factory, the river, the road are all mine.
And it would become Michael's property in the future.
But he is really troublesome.
He always supports the poor people.
When did they start digging the well?
Two weeks ago.
Two weeks...
I see.
He's Mr. Gilmore's son, Michael.
Stop that!
It must be fun.
He's different from his father. He's a good son.
I don't think he's a suspect.
Teacher!
Jim said he has a stomachache.
He is not eating.
You have a little fever.
Excuse me.
I may not look like it, but I'm a doctor.
Do you have a stomachache?
Open your mouth and say "Ahhh".
A little more.
You should put him to bed.
Come this way.
Are you going to give Jim a shot?
No, he has to drink bitter medicine.
No! I don't want medicine!
I'm okay now!
My medicine is even sweeter than honey.
What?! Jim's lucky!
Your friend really helped us.
Please bring my bag.
Yes.
Does Michael visit here often?
Yes, he helps me a lot. He is a very sweet boy.
It's an honorable job, but it must be difficult to manage.
No, there's a god who forsakes us and a god who saves us.
But some stranger donated twenty pounds recently.
Really? Twenty sovereign gold coins?
Yes, he asked, in a letter, that we use the money for this place.
That sounds great.
Holmes.
Would you go on back by yourself?
I will stay for a while and check on his condition.
All right. Please do so.
How is my new invention?
It's twice as faster than before.
But it makes me three times more tired.
What are you saying?
The whole fun of treasure hunting is the hard work you do to get it.
Five meters till we reach the gold statue.
Great! 30 cm per hour!
Oh, it suddenly got easy!
Stop!
Continue.
I worry too much just waiting like this!
Don't you have any idea about the thief?!
Mr. Gilmore, what do you think of this equation?
If you have to dig out soil, and the height is 10 meters...
and the diameter is 20 meters...
how many meters do you have to dig to make a tunnel...
that is 3 meters high and 2 meters wide?
What?
Is that question related to this case?
No, not directly.
It's thinner than I thought.
I'm paying you a lot of money!
I'll fire you if you don't find the thief by tomorrow morning!
Perhaps by tonight.
I'll do it as many times as I like.
But this is wrong.
Does that really matter? It was originally their money anyway.
Even so, do you think they would be happy...
if they knew you were getting the money like this?
But now they can buy medicine and food!
Please stop this. There is a detective here.
I'm not scared of a detective!
You can't stop me!
If you feel that way then tell my father!
Michael.
I just can't sleep!
Even at this moment, somebody must be trying to steal my gold coins!
Michael.
Maria...
You can't stop me.
I'm going with you.
I was the one who showed you downtown and my mother's orphanage.
That is why you started doing this.
I didn't think you would suffer this much.
I can at least help by being a lookout for you.
Maria.
Please wait here. I'll be quick.
Don't say a word! You burglar!
I finally caught you by the tail.
Go inside quietly.
Come out! Lousy thief!
Hello there.
Holmes!
With the help of Ms. Maria, I have found the answer.
What?
Maria, please turn on the light.
Yes.
I'll now show you how the thief stole the gold coins.
Put birdlime on the gold coin.
Here take this.
A big catch!
W... What is this?!
Thank you.
Anyone can make this bird carry gold coins.
You traitor bird!
So, who's the thief?!
Is it somebody in this house?!
Maria, would you clean up here?
Yes.
You don't have to rush. Please work quietly.
Yes.
Don't keep me waiting! Just tell me now!
The thief is Moriarty.
Moriarty?!
Yes.
The famous Professor Moriarty.
People call him the Napoleon of the crime world.
Don't be ridiculous!
Why would a notorious thief only steal twenty coins?!
What is it?
Be quiet!
Professor.
All right, begin now.
It's... it's... it's!
What is it?!
Get out of the way!
Hello, Professor.
He's here!
Bring it down! Bring it down!
My coin bank!
Thief!
Papa!
Michael, come here!
What was that?
Help me!
Professor, there's something strange attached to us!
Never mind! Just leave him like that!
Papa!
Michael! Help me!
Hurry up! Holmes is coming!
Papa!
Oh, my son!
Oh, stop it!
Don't cut that rope!
Got it!
Ah, I'm scared!
Holmes! What the?! You can't win!
You! You!
Michael!
Papa, let's jump!
Go!
Good bye Holmes.
Take the helm! The helm!
Scary!
Michael!
Papa!
Michael, you did a good job.
Of course he did. He's my son.
Michael is my treasure!
Treasure...?
My treasure!
My coin bank!
He's hopeless.
Don't touch my gold coins!
Shut up!
How can you dirty up the river like this?!
There is sludge everywhere!
It's mine!
The important thing is that you do it on your own.
And never be impatient.
Do it on my own and never be impatient.
Although, I think the fishing pole idea was ingenious.
All right.
Be well.
Thank you very much!
Goodbye!
Professor Moriarty has discovered the route used to transport cash...
by horse and carriage.
He's set up traps all over the road.
Can Holmes stop him in time?
