When you watch television, brighten up the room and watch it from a distance.
This city is constantly surrounded by white smoke.
Steam flows out from everywhere, hiding the city within a thick cloud.
No other energy source, other than coal, could be emracted from this land.
For this reason, in this world,
the advancement of steam powered engine technology took a quantum leap.
Taking cover in the white web, numerous thieves
and phantoms have come out of the woodwork.
The people, who live in the darkness and the white smoke,
have branded them disturbers of the peace.
We address this city surrounded by the smoke as... Steam City.

Narutaki Detective Agency
Could you hold it right there, Ling Ling, your ladyship?
No! That's the third time!
Yeah...
Checkmate.
Six consecutive losses...
Sir, we have a guest. But...
For Whom Do You Run?
What's with the panic?
it’s because I’m the guest.
Le Bled!
Long time no see, Narutaki.
I came to ask you to participate in a wonderful game.
Game?
Did you know there are fabulous treasures hidden somewhere in this city?
Fabulous treasures?
That's right. Three of them.
How about it? Why don't we see if you can find them or not?
A challenge of finding treasures...
The challenge will start tomorrow at midnight,
and end at six in the evening, making the duration eighteen hours.
If you find them all, I’ll go turn myself in to the police.
What if I can't find them?
You will not interfere with anything I do from now on.
How about it, Narutaki?
Are you up for this challenge?
All right.
I accept.
Are you kidding me?
Great, Narutaki.
I didn't think you'd turn this down.
Take this.
What's that?
it has a code explaining where the treasures are.
I’m looking forward to playing a fun game, Narutaki.
Hello, Central Police?
inspector Yakama, it's Ling Ling.
You're not going to believe this,
but a certain individual showed up at our agency.
it was... Hello? Hello?
I was challenged fair and square.
A challenge? It has to be a trap.
I’m not going to run away from him.
Then I’m going with you!
No. This time, I’m going alone.
Give me that. I can break this case like...
Cock Robin prefers death.
Well, let's see... What is this? Hey!
Ling Ling, this is a duel between Le Bled and myself.
I know... But...
it’ll be all right.
I’ll definitely win, and make him turn himself in.
Sir, please be vey careful.
I’ll come back as soon as possible.
Narutaki... Don't get hurt or anything...
Cock Robin prefers death.
The code indicating where the three treasures are hidden in Steam City...
Cock Robin prefers death.
That's the place where the first code is pointing to!
Chanel IV, who used to be the master of this castle, laughed like a robin.
Since it was similar to a cock robin, he was known as King Cock Robin.
The ''Death'' the cock robin prefers...
Well, this might have been too simple for you.
But solving puzzles in this game is meaningless.
Solving the puzzles is the minimum requirement for participating in this game.
So, it's here.
Bingo.
Something just now...
Ling Ling, he'll be all right.
You're right.
Bravo, Narutaki! You hit the jackpot!
Le Bled! What's the meaning of this?!
I have to hand it to you.
it wouldn't be fun if you were toasted by a mere bomb.
I’m asking you what the meaning of this is!
About how the treasure is a bomb?
No need to worry.
There are two more bombs indicated by the code I gave you.
All you have to do is to disarm them by six in the evening.
So, they're in places where I have to disarm them.
That's right!
And if you can't disarm them,
this city will be burned to the ground by the red flames.
Don't you think this is a wonderful treasure?
Le Bled! You're...
If you don't hurry up, your beloved city will disappear.
I’ll find the bombs! Even if it costs me my life!
Your life. I don't know how much that's worth.
Well, do your best.
But is this really all right, Le Bled?
I’ll do anything for you, but...
To protect, even if it costs you your life...
You can say something like that only because you don't know
what it means to have your life extinguished.
No. Must be further down.
That was close.
Narutaki...
You're a great actor delivering on the difficult requests of the director.
The preparations for the real show are about to be set.
I must have imagined it. I’m getting old.
This is it! All right!
This is connected to the explosive activation device.
This is connected to the fuse...
So, it's this!
Congratulations. You've cleared two now.
Le Bled! Is this your idea of fun?!
Of course it is.
in the end, you'll come to understand how your ''justice'' is powerless.
What's that supposed to mean?!
it means you can't save lives with justice.
Are you all right?
Yeah...
I’m a little tired.
''Death.''
Miss Ling Ling, wasn't there a meeting today?
That's right. But...
Let's believe in him, and live like normal.
He would want us to do that.
You're right. I’m on my way.
Everything is going according to plan.
Welcome home.
is this all the mail we got today?
That's right. What of the treasure?
The treasure turned out to be bombs.
What?!
And the final bomb is probably... somewhere in this building.
Death?
Death. Whose death do you think Le Bled wants the most?
That's right. Mine.
So, someone did happen to sneak in at that time.
What?!
I wonder if Narutaki's all right.
Head nurse, it's an emergency. They'll be here in three minutes.
What's the situation?
Traffic accident. Two critically injured, three slightly injured.
Prepare the X-ray room! What about the operation room?
Operating rooms 3 and 7 are open.
Contact the doctors and the blood supply center.
We've got a job to do!
Yes, ma'am!
Ling Ling, can you give us some support as well?
Yes!
Lang Lang... Why did you bring in these roses?
Uh? Well, no special reason.
Le Bled!
it’s all right. This pain makes me feel alive.
I live searching for thorns.
I wonder if Narutaki has realized that yet.
To not find anything, even after searching this much...
Ling Ling!
Operating
Ling Ling! Ling Ling!!
No good!
it won't connect.
There's apparently something wrong with the hospital lines.
I’m on my way!
Ling Ling...
Barely on time...
So, Ling Ling has the bomb, after all!
Give it up. There are only eight minutes left.
Out of my way! I can still make it!
Even if l do this?
What's the meaning of going this far?
A game wouldn't be fun if it concluded so easily.
And you're going to take the lives of hundreds of people
in the hospital, just for that.
If I press this, the bomb will be disarmed.
I’m willing to do so, if you get down on your hands and knees and beg.
What will you do, Narutaki?
Hurry up, now, Narutaki.
Toss aside your pride, and beg so you can protect this ''justice'' of yours.
Then, the game is mine.
I’m disappointed in you, Le Bled. This is vey unlike your methods.
I see. So, you'll take pride over justice.
What a boring conclusion.
Ling Ling's currently in a place where a signal won't reach.
The remote control won't work!
Get out of my way!
it’s the end of this stupid game!
Stupid?!
How pompous. What do you think you can do now?
Not give up.
Say what?
I won't let anyone die!
Not Ling Ling! Not the people in the hospital!
And... And I don't want you to become a murderer!
Wha? Who cares?
it’s none of your business.
Hmm? A bomb?!
That way of life doesn't suit you, Le Bled!
What?!
What I can do now is not give up!
I’m counting on you, Mr. Goriki.
Kawakubo, was Goriki dispatched?
He's going toward the hospital through point 53.
All right.
Sir, are you planning to jump on?!
I’ll stop the container. Then...
No! There's no time! Don't drop the speed!
Sir...
Le Bled...
Lang Lang...
What is it?
I wonder if I was in a bit of a rush.
You're going to get cold.
Just a little more, so...
I’ll be all right.
Operating
Ling Ling!
Narutaki...
Ling Ling! The bag!
Umm, okay.
What's going on?
Goriki!
Why? You lost.
it’s because I found it. A wonderful thorn.
Excuse me...
Now, don't move.
You were really heroic! You're awesome!
You're so cute, I could gobble you up!
Really?
is he your little brother, Ling Ling?
No!
What's with him and the drooling?!

Thank you, Ling Ling.
But... Eavesdropping is not a good thing.
A child definitely feels the love of a parent.
You may not understand it now, but someday you will.
About my parents... You know about my father?
