Hajime and his arch-enemy, the crime producer, Takato Youichi,
both accepted a written invitation from the mysterious Rosenkreuz
after a surprising deal was proposed.
In exchange for giving himself up,
Takato wanted Hajime to find and protect his half-sibling who he had never met.
Rosicrucian
Mansion
His sibling was one of the seven invitees who gathered at a Rosicrucian mansion for the exhibition of the blue roses.
It is him we're talking about!
He's definitely scheming something.
But on the night they arrived,
inside of the box which Hajime opened was...
A death mask?
Shou.
I was just following the master's instructions.
Mouri Mikado
The Rosicrucian Mansion's Caretaker
So I brought this box here.
Wait!
There's probably poison on those thorns.
So we can't get out of here?
Fuyuno Yaehime
Flower Artist
Trapped inside the Rosicrucian mansion,
everyone was handed towels with their initials on them.
Roses called misaki and renge floated around in the bath.
These are just burn scars.

As if I'd go into that damn bath!
The next day, in the early morning,
what we saw when we went to the place indicated by the card....
The door is locked.
We should be able to see inside from the terrace.
Matsurizawa Isshin
President of the Bioflower Company
It pierced through the body, the carpet and the floor.
This room has become a locked room mystery.
Locked room mystery?
If that door was opened, the blue roses on the floor would've been crumpled.
This 'Rosenkreuz'.
They certainly could be my sibling.
And another card...
It won't open.
Kindaichi, there are stairs inside that room.
What's all the commotion?
Did something happen?
Kindaichi, Nanase?
Takato.
Miruku...
Zenda Miruku
Flower Textile Artist
Her right sleeve is gone.
The shadow?
The delivered cards
each had their own locations and times written on them.
Outside the locked room by 11:55am.

If the culprit fled after killing Miruku,
they would have had no choice but to use that room's spiral staircase.
The only one who could kill Miruku without bumping into anyone was...
the person closest to the locked room underground.
Takato
And that's you!
So you were Rosenkreuz?
Move it!
Sakura Kyou
Rose Photographer
Let's tie him up.
Rosenkreuz has made me look like an indiscriminate murderer,
it appears that they want to take revenge against me.
I'll make them confess to all of their crimes
and then kill them.
I won't let you kill anyone else.
In the name of my grandfather,
the great detective!
And I'll definitely find that sibling of yours.
There are three candidates.

Conclusion to the Rosicrucian Mansion Murder Case
My older brother took that photo.
We got separated before I was old enough to understand why.
I don't remember his name or what he looked like.
But it's not like Takato's definitely your older brother-
Then why was I called here?
Are you saying that lots of people in the world don't know who their own sibling is?
Believe me.
I wouldn't kill anyone.
We know that.
Right?
Yeah.
Anyway,
if you really are Takato's little brother,
Rosenkreuz's target is...
Me.
Hey Miyuki,
what was Rosenkreuz really after in the first place?
I wonder if it really was to kill Takato's sibling.
What do you mean?
If their real objective was to kill people invited to the mansion, one by one,
then they would definitely have a motive for doing so.
It's most likely a concealed common aspect of everyone's past.
And you have a good idea of what that is, right?
I've made an educated guess on what their objective is.
Huh?
They've made weird statements.
Twice so far.
The sibling you're searching for
might be just like you, someone who takes pleasure in committing crimes.
Takes pleasure in committing crimes?
Everyone, please evacuate!
Don't use the e-elevator!
Please evacuate from the emergency exit staircase!
I'm truly sorry.
Mom, Mom!
It wasn't my fault!
Where's the fire?
President?
Ah, Hajime!
It's okay, it was only a small fire.
And Mr Mouri, you're too impatient.
This mansion doesn't have an elevator,
yet you said not to use it.
Well, um.
Did you use to work at a hotel or something?
Um...
Everyone has something which happened in the past that they don't want to talk about,
don't poke your nose any further.
A hotel fire?
A year ago, there was a fire at the Grand Rose Hotel.
Do you remember it?
Yeah.
It was on the news, around 1000 people got caught up in it,
nearly everyone escaped, but a number of people died.
On the day of the incident, I...
went to see the World Rose Expo which had just opened at that hotel.
The world's first naturally cultivated blue roses were on display there.
And then the fire happened...
Then the scars on your back I saw when we were in the bath were?
Those burns were from then.
Oh yeah, that reminds me.
Last night in the bath, I saw a large cross-shaped scar on Giselle's back.
So the common aspect of everyone's past might be that they were in the hotel during that fire?
No, 1000 people were caught up in that hotel fire, right?
There would be no reason to gather just six of them.
I see.
There were six invitees in total.
What requirement did the participants have to meet?
Oh, Hajime.
Old man!
Are you alright?
Why are you here?
You see, Kindaichi told me.
Huh?
You're going with Takato, hell's puppeteer?
Yeah, it's just,
if you don't hear from me in more than three days,
get in touch with old man Kenmochi.
But, there's still one more day.
Yeah, but...
I was worried.
And so I consulted with Saki last night,
and a report of guests being confined here came in.
Gee, if something had happened to you...
Did something happen?
Why are you singling me out?
Everyone, I'm Kenmochi from the MPD's CIB's Division 1.
Now that I'm here, you have nothing to worry about.
Hajime, Takato is somewhere inside the building, right?
I'm here today to apprehend Takato!
About this Takato guy-
Old man, old man, old man, old man.
What now?
I'm trying to explain about Takato.
I know.
You just got here and it was a long trip, so sorry
but I want you to investigate something.
Huh?
Ah!
Here it is.
It loaded?

These names of roses...
In the bath.
They were floating around!
This rose is renge.
And this one is misaki.
Huh?!
That time, just before Isshin was killed.
You're not going in?
As if I'd go into that damn bath!
Maybe the reason he didn't get in the bath was
because these two types of roses were floating in the tub.
So he didn't go in,
no, rather he couldn't go in.
That reminds me, everyone's rose names are in here.
This one is mine.

The Young Kindaichi's New Case Files
Hey Takato, behave yourself in there.
Now that I'm here, the case will be resolved soon.
And once it's taken care of, I shall finally-
Oh my god!
Dammit, that bastard!
Hajime, have you lost the plot?
You believe Takato?
We made an agreement.
I'll solve this case's puzzle
and find his sibling.
An agreement...
Your enemy is Takato.
Are you listening Takato?
I'll definitely solve the puzzle.
So wait.
Okay, Saki.
Huh?
I have to proceed with the investigation.
So I'm giving you a very important mission.
Huh?
What, what, what, what?!
Huh?
So this is currently a locked room mystery,
where the body was stabbed through to the floor?
Firstly, stabbing yourself like that is impossible.
This was murder, huh?
Yeah.
Then why did the culprit stab them all the way to the floor?
There should be another reason for doing so.
What do you mean?
The next time with Miruku,
We followed the card's instructions and when we waited outside the south room...
Hey!
Are you okay?
That was Miruku's kimono.
Let's go back inside.
And on the way back, we met everybody, one by one.
President.
Kindaichi.
What's all the commotion?
Takato.
What?
When her body was discovered,
the windows were locked from the inside, right?
So how did the culprit flee the crime scene?
Huh?
Why?
The culprit may have destroyed the evidence to get rid of any clues.
Let's go there from underground.
Huh?
Was it always this dark in here?
It's only natural.
It is already 3 o'clock.
Huh?
The shadow?
That's it.
I've worked it out.
The alibi trick for Miruku's murder.
Huh?
But wait...
So that's how it was?
If they used this method,
they could have turned that room into a locked room mystery.
That's why the stake had to be nailed down to the floor.
What do you mean, Hajime?
One thing connects all of the mysteries.
Then...
The puzzle has been completely solved.

Takato Youichi
Takato has disappeared from the room he was confined in.
He might be hiding somewhere in the building and aiming to kill someone.
How scary.
What do we do?
What are you doing?
You're a detective, hurry up and catch him.
Anyway, being alone is dangerous.
Please move around in pairs at all times.
Having to go everywhere in pairs is a pain in the ass.
The police have come so I wish they would get us out of here quickly.
My fake blue roses are really good, aren't they?
Stop right there!
You're caught red handed.
You can't run away anymore.
Rosenkreuz.
Don't touch that.
There's probably deadly poison in it.
Once Takato disappeared, you could kill again, right?
Because if Takato remained locked up,
he couldn't take the blame for your crimes.
That meant that the old man had to convince you into thinking he wasn't.
Does everyone know why they were invited to this gathering?
Isn't that because everyone likes roses
and often take part in gatherings like this, right?
That's incorrect.
Only the people who met two specific conditions
were invited to this gathering.
Two... conditions?
The first condition was to be inside
the Grand Rose Hotel during that fire last year.
All of your names were in the evacuated guests list.
And the name Misaki Renge was in the deceased list.
List of Deceased Victims (3 Names)
According to
List of Deceased
Family Name

Occupation

Misaki
Renge
Misaki Renge was the name of a female rose breeder, who planned to display the world's first natural blue roses.
And the second condition was
for everyone who was invited to this mansion
to share part of their name with a rose.
The first murdered victim Sumeragi Shou had koushou.
And the second victim, Matsurizawa Isshin.
TL Note: Isshin has been incorrectly romanized as Issin in the book.
The third victim, Zenda Miruku.
Mouri Mikado.
Fuyuno Yaehime.
Sakura Kyou.
TL Note: The kanji for Kyou's name can also be read as Miyako.
Makabe Makoto.
There was also one other person in the hotel during the fire who shared a rose's name.
These were the conditions for choosing the invitees.
But why do that?
To lure out their targets who ought to be killed.
In this case, the culprit didn't know who they should kill at first.
And so they set up a trap in the bath.
People who understood the real meaning of the floating misaki and renge wouldn't get in the bath.
And they were their targets.
They could find out who's bath towels weren't used by looking in the hamper later.
It's too bad that you couldn't kill Yaehime, your final target.
Tsukuyomi Giselle

Makabe Makoto
Sakura Kyou
Matsurizawa Isshin
Mouri Mikado
Takato Youichi
You're the true culprit.
You're Rosenkreuz.
Tsukuyomi Giselle.
Giselle made two mistakes.
With those statements.
Firstly, when Isshin's body was discovered.
The warmth of the fountain and the floating pattern of patches of renge.
While they healed him, they also took his life?
How did you know then that there was floating renge in the male section of the bath which Isshin went into?
They were floating in the female section as well!
But the same roses wouldn't usually be floating in both sections, right?
And secondly, when Miruku was attacked,
and we were heading towards the locked room underground.
Hey, what's all the commotion?
Did something happen?
Kindaichi, Nanase?
Mr Mouri and Makabe were also there with us at the time.
Normally, you would ask the caretaker, Mr Mouri,
then ask everyone else there.
So why did you mention me and Miyuki specifically
when you asked "Did something happen?"
Because something had happened.
And how did you know that me and Miyuki would be the ones to see it?
Wait...
Then how could I kill Isshin?
That was a complete locked room mystery, right?
No it wasn't.
The hint to this locked-room trick,
is this stake stabbed into the floor.
What do you mean?
Wasn't that stake put there like that to make it look like how Christ was nailed to the cross?
This was done to hide the real reason why the stake was hammered in.
It was camouflage.
The real reason?
This room has a circular carpet in it, yeah?
What of it?
This stake was needed to rotate the carpet like a turntable,
it's job was to serve as an axis.
What did you want to talk about?
Giselle made this carpet rotate around
until the bed of blue roses were in front of the door
to make it seem like a locked room mystery.
What about Miruku?
How do you think Giselle killed Miruku?
That time, there was only one route from the locked room.
Giselle arrived after we did so it'd be impossible for her to be the culprit.
It's not impossible.
Everyone follow me
to that south room.
First off, me and Miyuki arrived outside the south room as instructed.
We walked through the rose arch and witnessed Miruku being attacked.
Let's go back inside.
You came to this room from underground since the doors here were all locked
and you couldn't get inside from outside the first floor.
Yeah, this is a no go.
To leave this room,
you could only go underground using that spiral staircase,
through the corridor and then climb up the other spiral staircase.
But Mr Mouri was standing above that other spiral staircase
and Takato was in front of this room.
Fleeing from this room without him noticing would be impossible.
So doesn't me being behind you mean that I have a flawless alibi?
What I just said only applies to leaving this room.
What if this room was made to look like a completely different detached room from both the inside and outside?
That's the real south room?
Yeah.
There were actually two south rooms.
We, who lost our sense of direction after using the two spiral staircases
were convinced that this room really was at the end of the first floor's corridor.
But actually,
the underground floor, compared to the first floor
was built on a shifted angle of 30°.
You thought this through.
What made me wonder was the shadow of the cross.
When we looked from outside the room at 11.55am,
the shadow of the cross was cast vertically from that pedestal.
But when Miruku's body was discovered at 12.05pm,
the shadow was inclined about 30°.
The shadow?
It was strange that the shadow changed that much in about ten minutes.
First, you called Miruku out here.
And then you went to the real south room
and waited for us to arrive.
Hey!
Let's go back inside.
You followed us back without us noticing.
To hide the detached room, you blocked off the rose arch.
Miruku is being attacked.
Huh?
And once we went off in a different direction to check.
You joined up with Yaehime.
It seems like something happened.
Mr Kindaichi.
Takato Youichi bringing you here with him,
was my greatest miscalculation.
You're right.
Rosenkreuz is me.
Why did you do all of this?
Tsukuyomi Giselle is a false name.
My real name is...
Misaki Giselle.
This used to be my house.
I'm the daughter of Misaki Renge,
the person you four killed last year!
Cultivator : Misaki Renge
Mom, lots of people are outside.
Really?
It's incredible, everyone's here to see your blue roses, huh?
It was worth all the trouble.
But my mother...
You're wrong!
I didn't want to kill her!
Could you tell us your side of the story?
Back then, I was at the end of my rope working as a flower artist.
I was irritated.
And so for a change of pace...
If I used these roses...
Huh?
You were that flower artist.
So we all thought the same thing.
Huh?
Didn't you come to steal those blue roses too?
Since even one of these roses is more valuable than a diamond for us in the flower industry.
Hey, you'll get caught if you do that!
Don't worry, there aren't any security cameras.
And if a little fire were to occur and destroy any evidence,
no one would ever find out.
What are you people doing?
My blue roses!
Hey now!
She saw our faces.
Let's hurry up and get out of here.
But at this rate, she'll-
It's all good if they think she died because she was too slow getting out.
I'm locking the door, hurry up and run!
Shit!
Mom!
Giselle!
Mom?
I'm opening the door!
Hurry up and get out!
I won't!
Get to safety!
If those four find you,
you'll be killed too.
Who are those four?
What do you mean?
What are you doing?
Quickly, evacuate!
My mom's in there!
Just go!
Mom!
These are things which seem to have been important to your late mother.
I had a hunch then.
That these four roses were a dying message to point out the four people who killed her.
So I had one lead.
I knew of someone who shared a name with a koushou rose,
so I contacted Sumeragi Shou.
My, my.
It's a real honor to be invited to such a wonderful mansion.
Here you are.
Thank you very much.
This is a misaki and renge herb tea.
Is something the matter?
It's just that I don't like the taste of these roses.
Is that because you have a guilty conscious?
Sorry for the late introduction,
I'm Misaki Giselle.
The daughter of Misaki Renge, who you killed.
Who were your accomplices in that fire incident?
There should be three others.
What are you talking about?
Tell me!
Like I said bitch, what are you talking about?
I don't know anything about tha-
The other three left must have shared part of their name with a rose too.
From the fire incident's injured list,
I listed all of the people with rose names.
And people who still wanted the blue roses would definitely show up.
And from those people,
I could narrow down the three others who killed my mother.
And that's why you set up the bath towel trap?
So you weren't all persistently chasing after the roses?
So you're also just a rose enthusiast?
I'm so very sorry.
Actually...
I was the manager of the Grand Rose Hotel at the time of the fire.
While I knew that the disaster prevention system was broken,
I never tried to get it fixed.
And you?
At the time of the fire, I...
was taking photos as part of a news scoop.
I watched a boy die when I could have saved him.
I was afraid that someone had found out about that.
Why did you invite Takato?
That's right.
Takato had nothing to do with the hotel fire and he doesn't share a name with a rose.
Isn't it obvious?
So I could frame him as the culprit.
I was just a kid,
when my mother told me that I had a older brother with a different mother.
And that he was a brutal wanted criminal too.
In my veins, the same blood as that brutal wanted criminal, Takato Youichi, was flowing.
I was always tormented by that fact.
I happened to see my bother in a surprising place, one month ago.
My brother.
My brother, a brutal murderer
was walking in a crowded place with a calm look on face.
It was then when I finally embraced it.
I felt my guilt for killing Sumeragi Shou strangely fading away.
And then I thought...
if I could blame my brother, the brutal murderer,
then I could escape from my crimes.
I haven't done anything wrong.
The blood that we share made me do it!
The same blood flows through us?
Takato.
The epilogues of my crime plans are more beautiful
and brilliant!
With your failed execution of such a poorly crafted plan,
I don't want to be related to you.
!Re-translation Note: The more literal translation of this sentence in English would be "I don't really want to be known as your older brother." Though this doesn't flow very well in English. Please delete this note after reading.
So...
what are you planning to do now?
Will you kill me?
Of course.
As I promised in the letter, I'll show you...
the death of your little sister.
Don't do it!
I don't know how much you've gone through,
but, I do know one thing.
Takato came here because
he wanted to meet you.
By wanting to meet his little sister,
I believed that even he had human emotions.
Takato...
really was looking for you.
Honestly,
I think you should stick around.
Since I had an agreement with you, yeah?
Yeah.
So Hajime and you are two sides of the same coin?
Since we'll always be opposites.
She also didn't know who our father is since he left when she was very young.
My roots remain shrouded in darkness.
Let's go.
I'll find out one day.
Kyou is your older bother?
When Kindaichi showed him this, he said "I took that photo."
He focused on the roses and ignored his brother.
Ah, it's true.
So I thought that the person who took it might be a photographer interested in roses.
Isn't it great that you were able to have an emotional reunion?
Right, prez?
This was no laughing matter!
I would've been seriously shocked if I was Takato's little brother!
If it had come to that,
the president's very existence would be
occulty!
Huh?
No way.
I was on the right track?
Bad news!
Hajime!
Ba-Bad news!
What's wrong old man?
Takato escaped from prison.
Huh?
Hajime is a real mystery, isn't he?
Huh, why?
Huh?
Well, you just said that I was a mystery.
Oh, no, it's nothing.
I'm starving.
I just remembered that thing!
Let's go Mr Kenmochi.
Ah, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Leave it.
Hurry, hurry.
I was eating that parfait!
Wait, my fruit parfait!
My fruit parfait!
Hey, hey.
Waitress, could you please leave that there?
Are those two close friends?
Of course not.
I thought so.
And, what makes me a mystery?
Well, even though you're the first to condemn crimes,
you're also the first to forgive criminals.
Oh.
Even though I'm always with you,
it's still something that I don't understand.
Then shall we unravel that mystery about me?
But let's do it my way.
!Re-translation Note: The more literal translation of this sentence in English would be "Though I mean by doing it a different way (than you think)." Though this is too literal, too hard to comprehend and is too long to read in English. Please delete this note after reading.
Like try here or maybe here?
But you know, I want to know you better.
But not using those weird ways.
Well, you're quite mysterious too Miyuki.
How so?
Oh well.
I'll just spend my whole life solving your puzzle.
In the name of my grandfather.
Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Hajime, just now, could you have?
Pur-Pur-Pro-Propose-
Are they...
G's, no, F's?
Huh?
They're nice.
Hajime, weren't you listening?
Ah, come over here!
Excuse me, some water please.
Sure.
Miyuki, you drink too, quickly.
No, I didn't ask you!
I'm gonna beat you up.
Here.
Thank you.
