Sushi...
Omurice... (An omelet on top of rice)
Okonomiyaki... (A cabbage pancake with meat or seafood)
I wish they were all real...
Ah, I haven't played "Catherine" for a long time. I'm tired.
Ryosuke kun, aren't you hungry?
The fridge is empty.
Ah...
I thought we had a left over fried rice. Didn't you know that?
I ate that yesterday.
What? Does that mean we don't have anything to eat?!
I see, that was the last dish...
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Kyoko chan cooked enough food for a month. But it lasted only a week! What's going on?!
I couldn't stop eating, everything was so delicious.
What are we going to do?
I know, why don't we go out?
We don't have any money.
Ah, those are Kyoko chan's words.
I don't want to say it, but we really don't have any money.
Then, Ryosuke kun, why don't you use your supernatural power?
I don't have energy for that.
Then, I'll use mine.
Oh, I smell something...
It must be Kyoko chan!
Yo, Kuitan. How are you?
Chief!
Momo chan, bring that there.
What's this?
It's my present for you.
For us?!
Ryosuke kun, it's food!
Goya (Japanese bitter melon), broccoli, apple and banana...
Chief, I'm leaving?
Wait.
Momo chan, give me your Police ID.
What?
I learned a little magic recently. May I borrow your ID?
Okay, look everybody!
Go, Chief!
Look up! Look up!
How was that?
Where is it?
You're so kind.
Anyway...
I have a request for you.
Okay.
Can you look after Momo chan for a while?
What? Momo chan?
Chief!!!
You haven't taken any vacation for a long time, right?
I don't need it.
I know that you've gone to the hospital occasionally.
That's because...I'm fine.
Your judgment becomes blurred if you're tired.
We can't make mistakes during criminal investigations.
Eat Kyoko chan's food and come back refreshed.
But I'm in the middle of investigating a crime.
Transfer it to detective Igarashi and the others.
I refuse.
This is the Chief's order.
Well...Chief...
What is it?
Kyoko chan has gone to France with the Owner.
What? He didn't tell me that!
I see. Anyway, please look after Momo chan.
Okay. Ryosuke kun will take care of it.
Me? Yes.
So, have fun.
Thank you very much for the food.
Momo chan. Call me Ogata, not Momo chan.
Hey...
She's difficult for me to deal with. But you're in charge.
I can call you "Momo tan" (This means "In charge of Momo chan")
Please...
Okay.
Aren't you hungry? No.
Can you make something with them?
I don't want to waste time cooking.
But we need to eat...
I said, "Don't waste time"!
But you do have time to waste.
So let's eat delicious food and relax.
Shut up! Leave me alone!
Momo tan! Hurry up!
Momo chan, is it OK to ignore the Chief's order?
Don't call me Momo.
We always call you "Momo chan".
Don't follow me!
Momo chan, we'll solve the crime that you've been working on.
It's too difficult for you to solve.
Don't underestimate "Detective Noda Ryosuke"!
Damn, I stepped on feces. Momo chan!
I stepped on feces!
Go home!
Momo chan, where are you going?
Ah, hey, Kindaichi!
Ah, Ryosuke kun, Momo chan.
What are you doing here?
My house is over there.
Really?
Where's Rei chan?
Did you two break up?
She's sick.
Ryosuke kun doesn't have anyone to dump you, right?
Do you want to fight?
You have no idea what love is.
Ouch!
Hajime kun, this is good timing.
Ryosuke kun is mean.
He left me alone and went out for delicious food. I did not...
Ah, where's Momo chan?
Where did she go?
Ah, over there.
Wow, what a mess...
This is where an arson attack happened recently.
Have you been pursuing the criminal responsible for a series of arson cases?
4 family members died.
The smallest was a 3 year old kid.
More than ten arsons have happened in the past month.
Almost all of those weren't damaged as badly as this one.
The arsonist will do it again.
I'll capture them before they do it again.
But why did you come here?
Haven't you inspected this site repeatedly?
"Inspect 100 times". If you hit a dead end during a criminal investigation you should return to the scene of the crime.
I may be able to find something.
Momo chan. What?
Check this out.
They were making curry for dinner that day.
Curry that wasn't eaten... Poor curry...
They ruined the curry... I'll never forgive them!
Menu 5. "Dinner at a neighbor's house! Eat curry until death!"
This house too?
Yes.
It happened last night.
Who are you?
Excuse me. I'm from the Minato...
I can call the police you know.
Excuse me. Did you make curry for lunch today?
Who are you?
I'm just an ordinary man...
"Gluttonous Detective"...
Kuitan?!
Do you know me?
I'm a big fan of yours.
Really?
Please come in. May I?
Everybody, come.
Please have some.
It looks delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
Wow, it's delicious.
The way you eat is sexy.
Do you have any idea why your house was targeted?
I've done nothing to incur anyone's enmity.
Mrs., did you make this curry yesterday?
Yes. That's Kuitan.
We were having dinner when we saw fire at the entrance.
As I thought, this was made yesterday.
Wow, it's delicious.
I've heard that before. But why?
Different flavors blend with the broth when you heat it up.
As time passes the flavors harmonize completely.
That makes it taste better.
Ah, I can't wait anymore. May I have a bite?
Momo chan, let's have some curry.
I didn't come here to investigate curry.
Ah...
Has anything strange happened recently?
Like a suspicious person showing up?
We know each other very well in this neighborhood.
So, if there's a stranger around, we'll notice.
Last night...
Damn, I couldn't eat any curry!
It was delicious.
Momo chan, I'll be scolded by the Chief. Let's go back.
Shut up!
What's wrong?
Ah, it's "Green Peas".
Green Peas?
She's Endou Saya from my class as school. Saya Endou (This means green peas).
That's why she's called Endou Mame (This also means Green Peas).
She's the opposite type as compared with Rei chan.
Are you cheating on her?
No way!
She's a strong-minded girl like Momo chan.
She's difficult for me to deal with.
Yo, Mr. Glasses.
Hi...
Can we talk a bit?
What do you want, old lady?
I'm Ogata from the Minato police station.
You're a detective?
That's why you're evil-looking.
Why were you watching that house?
None of your business.
Answer my question.
I've seen the suspect.
Can you tell me the details?
I lied! Fool!
Can we talk?
What do you want, old man?
Your clothes smell like curry.
Really?
I don't smell anything.
But you have curry at your house, right?
May I have some?
What? Are you nuts?
Then, I'll find your house by following the smell.
Oh, Endou Mame san's house is this way, right?
Let's go!
What is that guy?
Don't worry about him. He's Kuitan.
Kuitan... Is he a detective?
This curry was also made yesterday, right?
You know everything.
Curry that rests overnight is very delicious.
You're a funny man.
But you should cook it thoroughly.
We have to be careful about food poisoning at this time of year.
I know that.
Did your mother tell you that?
It's common sense.
My parents taught me that curry is a convenient dish.
Convenient?
It's easy to make and we can keep it for days.
Is that so?
That looks delicious.
A large serving, please!
How about you guys?
Ah, I also want a large...Ouch!
Don't worry about us.
Won't you eat? No.
How about you, old lady?
I don't want any.
Your parents both work, right?
As I said, it's none of your business.
Okay. Thank you for the meal.
Wow, it's delicious.
Oh, you added sweet potatoes to it.
What? Sweet potato in curry?
It's not common.
My mother thinks that she can put in anything she wants.
Won't you have some?
I'll have a snack instead.
Did you stay home yesterday?
As I said, why did you ask that?
Didn't your parents come home yesterday?
Endou Mame's father has been relocated to a new post in Miyazaki but he hasn't taken his family.
Mr.Glasses! Yes!
Don't say anything.
I'm sorry.
Ah, it's been while since I've been this full.
Shut up. I didn't eat anything.
It was delicious.
What's wrong, Momo chan?
Yes.
It's Ogata.
Inspector Ogata...
I'd like you to look into something.
The Endo family who lives near...
Inspector Ogata!
What?
Inspector Ogata has been removed from this investigation.
I can't help an outsider.
Good-bye.
Igarashi!
Momo chan, let us help you.
Let's find the suspect before Igarashi san does.
Momo chan?
Momo chan!
Is that all right? What?
Momo chan.
Let's leave Ryosuke kun to deal with Momo chan.
What will you do?
Me?
As you see, I turned it on.
For what?
For my appetite.
I want to eat more curry!
Fire!
Ouch...
Ah!
"We're the curry investigation party"
Hajime kun, what's that?
It's my independent research.
I want to determine the difference in the taste of curry from different homes.
Curry, eh... That sounds good.
Let's go! Yes.
Oh, they're making curry.
I don't smell anything.
Let's go!
Yes.
Excuse us. We're the curry investigation party.
Thank you for the meal.
Wow, it's delicious.
There’s a lot of ground meat.
Hajime kun, this is an Indian curry called Keema Curry.
This taste... Did you add cashew nuts?
Yes. I crushed them and mixed them with Yogurt.
It's excellent. Excellent!
This very soft feeling!
I can only see chicken.
The vegetables were boiled thoroughly and pureed.
This looks very smooth.
Wow, it's delicious.
You're right.
Hajime kun, do you know how many kinds of curry we've had?
Indian curry, Keema curry...
About 50?
No, maybe 100?
Tons! Each house has a different taste.
I see.
Yes.
Let's have some more.
Wow, it's delicious!
"May 9th, 8:30 P.M., Okajima residence. No injuries."
The arson attack happened between 7:00 and 9:00 P.M.
Yes. They struck at dinner time.
How about mobilizing a number of patrols?
That's something that Igarashi can think of.
There must be other approaches we can try.
Is the same arsonist responsible for all of the fires?
Two or more may be responsible.
It's a one-person crime!
They put gasoline into a PET bottle and set it on fire.
The same method was used in every case.
Don't these houses have something in common?
I don't know.
But there must be something.
Yeah! We're done!
Could you be quiet?
Kindaichi, what are you doing?
We've compiled our curry research report.
How often the neighbors in my school district make curry...
What kind of curry they make...
We've researched that kind of thing.
That sounds very interesting.
We covered the whole area in a short time thanks to Takano san.
Well... Yes, thanks to me!
Momo chan, you also made a map, right?
Let me see...
Hajime kun, can you bring that curry map?
Yes.
Watch, Momo chan.
What?
Please compare these maps.
They match...
And all of the dates match too!
All of the houses that were set on fire made curry.
What does this mean?
The arsonist attacked houses where curry was being made for dinner.
For what reason?
Curry is one of the most popular dinner dishes made at home.
It's a coincidence.
But Momo chan, everything matches.
Do you really think it's a coincidence?
Then, how did the arsonist know that they had curry for dinner?
It may be by smell.
The arsonist wandered around searching for the smell of curry.
And not every house had curry.
Look!
"April 24th, 8:15 P.M., Ogawa residence. No injuries"
Curry wasn't served for dinner at the Ogawa residence.
Right. The arsonist set a fire even though they didn't have curry.
There must be some other common feature.
I got it!
What, Kuitan?
I had very tasty curry.
Why don't we make that curry again?
I don't want any.
Momo chan, you should eat some.
It's a waste of time.
It's not.
If you try some, you should be able to find some clues.
That's nonsense.
Hajime kun. Yes.
This is curry with onion, bitter melon and pork.
Momo chan, onion has Glucose, bitter melon has Vitamin C and pork has Vitamin B1.
You need these nutrients.
Let's eat!
I don't want any.
I see. Then, why don't we start?
Thank you for the meal.
Wow, it's delicious.
Ah, curry with bitter melon actually tastes good.
What kind of curry did you like most?
Ah, I liked the "Fruit curry" at the Tanaka residence.
Yeah, that was one of the best curries.
Mango and banana made the curry tastier.
My mother added sauce and soy sauce.
Red wine and "fonds de veau" are a must.
What's "fonds de veau"?
It's soup made from the bones of a calf.
I see. How about you?
Me? Apple and honey of course! (Apple and honey curry was very popular once in Japan)
I've heard of that before...
How about you Momo chan?
I've never seen Momo chan eat anything.
Me neither.
Momo chan, since we have a lot of vegetables...
We should use them...
It's weird.
What is it?
On April 24th, the arsonist set 3 houses on fire.
This, this and this.
Why didn't they set this house on fire?
This is Endou Mame's house.
I'd pay more attention to the Ogawa residence which was set on fire even though they didn't have curry for dinner.
What do you mean?
What did the Ogawa's have for dinner?
Deep fried chicken, croquette or hamburger?!
Ah, I want to know that.
That's not important right now.
Let's split up into two groups and investigate tomorrow.
There must be a clue that will help us.
Momo chan, I'll go around to the back.
"Toukou General Hospital"
Father!
Don't call me father!
Sorry...
Have you made any progress?
Not really.
Anyway, is Momo chan eating properly?
No. Momo chan won't listen to us.
I spoke pretty harshly to her. She must be upset at me.
She'll know soon that you're worried about her.
I hope so.
Igarashi san, do me a favor?
Endou Saya, perfect score.
Ah, doctor!
Saya chan!
Momo chan?
Ogawa residence
Thank you for your cooperation.
Is this a menu that you had at that day?
Yes.
Deep fried pork...
Did you use curry powder?
Hajime kun, it's my job to figure that out.
Right.
So if you taste curry, that arsonist, he must hate curry.
Igarashi san, the arsonist may be a she.
Right.
Thank you for the meal.
Ah, this is... What's wrong, Kuitan?
You used very good pork. It's delicious!
Thank you.
Stop it!
What are you doing? You hurt me!
As I thought, it's you!
What are you talking about?
What's this?
Old lady, why are you so excited?
Water...
Is there a law that says I can’t water the garbage?
Why did you do that?
Because you suspected me and followed me!
Don't mess with me!!
Ah, it was delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
How was it, Kuitan?
I didn't taste any curry or spices.
So it's not curry that the arsonist was looking for...
But I smell curry.
Ah, I got it!
Thank you for the meal.
Where are we going?
You'll see.
Okay, this is it.
Kaneda residence
I've been waiting for you.
What will we do here?
We'll make curry together.
Curry again?
Momo chan, don't you want to arrest the arsonist?
What do you mean?
We've figured out the criminal's motive.
Can you look at this again?
All of the victims' houses have more than 3 family members.
Parents, kids, and grandparents.
It's the typical family structure.
Is curry a happy family's symbol?
Yes.
That's why Endou Mame's house wasn't set on fire.
There must be other reasons for that.
What do you mean?
Then, I'll ask you.
Why was this house set on fire even though they didn't have curry for dinner?
The Ogawa residence...
That's perfect timing.
Hajime kun, Ryosuke kun, please. Yes.
I smell curry...
This is called "Curry plant".
Ogawa san put this plant at the entrance.
Thank you for the meal.
Because of its strong smell, they put them outside.
The arsonist struck houses that smelled like curry.
Then, why wasn't Green pea's house set on fire?
Momo chan, you may suspect her. But she isn't the arsonist.
But I still have a little doubt.
Igarashi san has already investigated.
Igarashi?
Yes.
He knew that you suspected her, so he checked her out.
Momo chan, didn't you follow her to the hospital?
Rei chan saw you.
She also saw that you argued with Saya chan.
She also has an alibi.
She isn't the arsonist.
Endou Mame's mother is a nurse.
Her patient's condition got worse yesterday so she couldn't meet with Endou mame.
I see.
So, Momo chan!
Can you wear this?
What's that?
From now on, you're the mother.
What?
We want to lure the arsonist to us!
So we have to play a happy family.
Momo chan without her Police ID, and us, mediocre detectives!
Let's try, Momo chan!
But... Isn't this lacy thing too much?
That suits her, right?
Mother, let's go shopping!
Mother?!
Momo chan, we're just playing family, right?
Momo chan is mother, Kindaichi is your son, and Takano san is your husband.
Husband?!
Father...
Wait! Are Momo chan and I a couple?
With a full grown kid?
This is no good.
It's quite all right.
This is no good. My fans will be disappointed.
Why?
Because I'm supposed to be young and single forever.
Young and single...
Takano san. Yes?
We get to eat delicious curry if we do this.
Okay. I'll do anything for curry!
Instead, please treat me to delicious curry.
Yes. Momo chan...
It's your job to make some delicious curry tonight.
Me?
Of course!
Why don't we use this curry plant for its smell instead?
We don't know where the arsonist is.
The arsonist may have followed happy looking families.
Right. If they see the right ingredients in the shopping cart they will have guessed that curry is on the menu.
Right.
Let's go shopping together!
Me too?
Wait. Wait!
Who is he supposed to be?!
Me?
Hunching over like this is really hard.
Mom, what's for dinner today?
Don't talk like that!
Please act like a real mother.
The arsonist may be watching us.
Well, how about some curry?
Takano san, it's your turn.
Papa likes Mama's curry. I really want to eat some.
You suck...
Mom, what kind of curry are you making?
I don't know.
I'll try my luck.
It's delicious!
They're hopeless...
Ah, this is too itchy!
Mom, be careful. The curtains are open.
I know.
Please.
Do I really have to make curry? Yes.
The idea that women have to cook is old fashioned.
I agree with you.
However, in each victim's house the mother cooked the curry.
Or at least it was a girl.
Then, why don't you disguise yourself as a girl?
What?!
I can't do that.
That's a good idea.
I've prepared for that.
That's perfect timing.
Hajime kun. Yes.
Come this way.
Welcome, Saya chan.
Why is she here?
She's playing my Mom.
Then I'm going home.
Endou san...
Please help us.
I don't want to.
Kuitan, we don't have time. Let's start cooking.
Okay.
If you don't want to help us you can go home.
Teach me how to make curry. What's first?
First cut the vegetables.
Okay.
Wait, Momo chan. You should wash that first.
Do I use this?
Wash it with water.
Tell me that first.
They finally started making curry.
Do you think the arsonist will show up?
I hope we'll be able to trap them.
You suck.
Shut up!
Give me a break!
Hey.
Give me that.
Cut it like this.
Well, are you two all right?
Shut up!
Sorry...
I don't see anybody looking suspicious.
Grandpa, Grandpa!
If Kyoko chan sees you now she'll be disappointed.
Shut up, Seiya.
This is just acting.
Ryosuke kun... You're getting too carried away.
Ouch.
Sorry.
Ah, don't use sweet potatoes.
Why?
Because I don't like them.
Saya chan, you like sweet food, don't you?
So what?
Saya chan's curry was very delicious.
Sweet potatoes are used to make curry sweet. It was your Mom's idea.
The sweet taste and the vegetables came out well.
She cut the vegetables small so you could eat them easily.
Your Mom didn't make curry because it can keep for a long time or because it was easy...
Once you cook sweet potatoes, it gets very soft.
But when it's raw, it's very hard. So it takes a long time to cut it properly.
Damn sweet potato!
Momo chan, don't cut your fingers. Okay.
Making curry is very tough.
I've finished cutting the vegetables.
What's next?
Momo chan, you don't know anything about cooking, do you?
Shut up and tell me.
Yes.
Cut this meat into suitable sized chunks.
Then, I don't have to cut it.
Don't be foolish?
Then, this'll be your job, Endou Mame.
Don't call me Endou Mame, old lady.
Old lady?! Respect your elders!
What?!
Don't be cocky, kid.
How's that, Kuitan?
This looks good, Momo chan.
Okay, let's eat!
Be patient for a while longer.
Why?
Ah, Honey, somebody came.
Damn.
Who is it?
I can't believe women anymore.
This is reality.
Shut up.
Hello. Hi.
Ah, are you making curry?
Yes.
Did I interrupt you?
What do you need?
Do you have life insurance?
No.
Then, I have the perfect plan for you.
This plan includes both fire insurance and life insurance...
Sorry, I live by myself...
Wait!
Mom, the curry is almost ready.
Okay.
So, I'll come back another day.
Sorry.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Momo chan! What?
What? Can't we eat?
Wait a little more.
We have to lure the arsonist here first.
That's right. And...
If we let the curry cool down, it'll taste much better.
Does that follow the same principle that makes curry taste better the day after it's made.
That's exactly right!
Kuitan only thinks about food?
Momo chan, it's called killing two birds with one stone.
I can't be patient anymore. It smells too good.
Then why don't we play a game?
1.2.3.4.5.6.
You're having a baby. Yeah!
This is the 8th baby!
Give me $1,000! (If you have a baby you get $1,000 from everybody.)
Please congratulate me.
It looks delicious.
This is Momo chan's first curry.
Momo chan, give us a speech, please.
Eat!
Thank you for the meal.
What's wrong?
Well... It has a very unique taste.
My Mom's curry is better.
Don’t compare it to that.
For your first curry it's good enough.
Please have confidence, Momo chan.
I won't make curry anymore.
Ah, what is this?
That's the lid from the pepper bottle.
Don't worry about it.
What?
It's the first time I've seen you eat something.
My mother is also a nurse.
I hated my mother. Because she was always too busy working.
I always did bad things so I'd get in trouble.
I'm sorry for suspecting you.
Eat more!
I will!
Then, why don't we say Itadakimas one more time?
Something is burning.
Stop!!!
Fire!! Where's the arsonist?
Momo chan!
Let Igarashi san chase the arsonist! Bring water!
Hurry up!
You're ours!
Igarashi! Yes.
We caught him in the act of setting the fire.
Thank you.
It was worth keeping watch even though we were dying of hunger.
You can have some of my curry later.
What?
Thank you very much.
It's delicious, Igarashi san.
Damn curry!
Wait a minute.
Do you hate seeing families enjoying themselves?
Yeah. It's disgusting!
There's a family who has suffered because of you.
What are you doing?
Can a policewoman hit me?
It's too bad, I don't have my Police ID right now.
Take him. Yes.
You're hurting me.
We haven't finished dinner. Go back inside.
Ah, Mom. Will you be home on time today?
Okay. I'll make dinner and wait for you.
Okay, see you later.
What do you want?
Well...
Hey! What?
You should eat properly.
Be quiet...
See ya, Momo chan.
Okay, every body...
Thank you for Momo chan's curry.
Thank you for this meal.
Wow, it's delicious!
Inspector Ogata, it's delicious.
Really? Yes.
Momo chan, don't frown!
This is my normal face.
Sorry.
Anyway, Momo chan, thank you for your hard work.
Without Holmes Agency and Igarashi's help, I couldn't have done it.
Yes, I worked very hard.
Ah, Momo chan, do you want this back?
Of course!
Chief, Momo chan can eat properly again.
Please give it back to her.
Kuitan...
I believe him. Here it is.
Before that...
What did you do?
Eat more and work harder.
Chief...
Inspector Ogata, where do you usually keep your ID?
In my pocket.
How about Detective Igarashi?
Me too.
Ah! I have 2!
What's going on?
Ah, this face...
Igarashi, that's mine.
Why is she upset?
You're laughing too much!
I like eating with a lot of people.
So, thank you for the meal.
Wow, it's delicious.
You can work hard, but don't forget the curry.

We're in Osaka!
Eat until we die.
It's delicious.
I won't think of you as my Mom after today.
I want to eat the best Takoyaki (Japanese vegetable pancake with octopus).
Takoyaki?
It's your job, Kuitan.
The company is hiding something.
There's no doubt.
It's delicious!
