10 years ago, a female student from Fudoh Academy went missing.
As the case started to be forgotten,
a series of terrible crimes happened.
This is only the prelude.
What? Miyuki!
By any chance...
What's that? Is that blood?
The forbidden biology room.
The hand in the printing room.
The third mystery of the seven mysteries is...
Maybe it's the bloody well.
Miyuki!
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case File 3
My daughter... Miyuki... Miyuki...
Her life is saved for now, but the back of her head was hit severely.
Her condition is still critical now.
Tonight will probably be the critical point. Miyuki.
Miyuki.
Kindaichi.
About the Takahata Pharmaceuticals that you asked me to investigate,
I've done it.
You were right.
Fudoh Academy's old schoolhouse was...
...owned by Takahata Pharmaceutical 30 years ago.
I've also discovered something surprising.
The people who were tested on new drugs.
They all went missing.
There were six of them.
I have a premonition,
These incidents are related.
That's enough, Kenmochi-ossan.
I'm backing out of this case.
What are you saying?
It's my fault to let Miyuki become like that.
If I was with Miyuki at that time...
lf...
If I didn't involve in the investigation...
Kindaichi, it's not your fault.
Please.
Leave me alone.
Hajime-chan...
Save me...
I'm really a fool.
Miyuki, are you alright?
Goodbye, Hajime-chan.
It was a dream, Miyuki.
Miyuki!
No way!
This is not true.
How can it be...
Hajime-chan...
Don't worry.
This is great.
Mom.
Hajime-chan, what's wrong? Are you crying?
Who'd cry, idiot!
You made me so worry, seriously!
I didn't see the killer.
When I was trying to take off the poster,
I was attacked from behind.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help much.
Not even a bit.
It's fine.
Makabe was right.
An idiot like me would only die for nothing.
That's not like you.
Hajime-chan, you hated to lose since little.
Once you thought it was right, you would never give up.
Hajime-chan, you must not give in.
Before there's another victim, capture the killer as soon as possible.
You're the only one who can do it, Hajime-chan.
Miyuki...
I got it!
I'll uncover the identity of the magician!
That's a promise.
What's wrong?
Would you close the curtain?
The sunlight is too blinding for my eyes.
What's wrong?
Perhaps...
That's how it was...
How can I not notice something like this...
Hajime-chan?
I got it, the trick to the biology room!
What's left now is the code.
Sakuragi-senpai and Onoue were killed...
...because of these codes.
Senpai solved the seventh mystery.
Ossan, I need your help.
In order to solve the mysteries,
she typed the code using this computer.
I see, you want to continue investigating?
Onoue was killed because he solved the code.
The crossing points are the code and the computer.
I can't solve it if I don't link these two together.
That's right.
That's it, this is the meaning of the code!
But this is not enough.
When I was trying to take off the poster,
Poster... This is it.
This is what Sakuragi-senpai saw.
With this, everything's connected.
All the mysteries have been solved.
What's with this?
Why does Kindaichi gathering us here? I'm very busy today.
I also want to conclude my thesis tonight.
He's not here yet?
Well, he just asked to gather at this hallway in this new school building.
I don't know anything either.
Geez.
L- Inspector!
That's...
It's him!
It's him! Kindaichi-senpai!
Magician!
Damn it!
That... That is...
Everything... disappeared.
It's the same as before.
You!
Wait a minute, ossan. What?
Kindaichi?
What... What's going on?
That day,
when the killer killed Sakuragi-senpai,
the same trick was used,
to show us the death ritual.
And the killer,
the after-school magician,
is here! What?
That fellow killed Onoue-san as well.
And also wounded Miyuki severely.
What? What are you saying?
Didn't I prove that already?
The killer is not among us.
You mean your deduction on the rope trick used by the killer?
Yes. That's absurd.
The killer from that night and I tonight,
never set foot in the biology room.
The death ritual was held in another room.
Another room?
Come.
Isn't this Physics Room?
Take a look at this.
W- What, it's just a doll.
Is this what we saw just now?
Why...
But, you can't see this place from the new schoolhouse.
That's right...
The key of the trick is this.
A mirror.
If you look from the new schoolhouse,
it's surely the biology room.
You cannot see the physics room at all.
That's why we need a mirror here,
Right, the scene from the physics room on the mirror,
will be the same as the biology room.
The night of the murder,
the killer set up the mirror in the hallway,
and set up the ritual in this room,
instead of the biology room.
When we witnessed it,
and ran towards the biology room,
The killer put away the mirror,
waited for the right time.
And appeared behind us with a nonchalant face
as if nothing happened.
When everyone went home,
the killer entered through the broken door,
hanged the body,
and used the rope to make marks...
...on the window lock.
To create a fake lead using a rope.
To make it look like he ran away through the window.
It was made up?
That's right.
Your deduction was just following the killer's will.
In fact, Makabe,
you were used by the killer.
That night,
there was only one who could use this trick.
The after-school magician.
The one who killed Sakuragi-senpai,
Onoue-san and attacked Miyuki,
that is...
You!
The after-school magician.
It is you!
L- I'm the after-school magician?
How can that be?
Matoba-sensei?
No, no, it's not me!
But senpai.
The killer had the biology room key, right?
Why did her have to do such a trick?
If we can't prove that,
we can't conclude it was Sensei.
The key.
Can it really be used to enter the biology room?
Ossan, did you bring it?
Tachibana-san.
Is this the key to biology room?
No doubt about it.
The killer put the key on Onoue-san...
...to make us think he ran away through the window.
But a key that hasn't been used for seven years,
can it really work?
That's true, the lock could've been rusted or worn out.
Give it to me!
It won't open.
Damn it!
That's how it is.
That night, until the door was broken down,
it hadn't been opened.
Then how come we saw this door open?
And that the death ritual...
It's the mirror!
There's nothing else!
No.
It's not me!
Why would I kill my students?
I have no motives at all!
Of course you have.
It's time to reveal it all.
The past that you've continued to hide for 30 years!
No...
30 years ago,
there used to be a research centre of Takahata Pharmaceuticals here.
There were still drugs with dangerous side effects back then.
In order to develop new drugs,
they needed to test on humans.
There were six people hired for that.
But unfortunately the test failed.
All six people died.
The researchers got frustrated.
If such thing was exposed, that'd be the end for them.
So they hid the six bodies in this research building.
Buried underground or sealed under the concrete.
Then they donated that building to Fudoh Academy.
That's this building, the old schoolhouse.
However,
the hidden bodies might get discovered accidentally.
That time,
the researchers sent one coworker here,
to work here secretly.
Then they spread the rumor of Six Mysteries where the bodies were hidden,
to keep students away from here.
The guard of the bodies,
which was sent by the researchers,
that's Matoba-sensei.
Wait a minute, you said there were six mysteries.
The rumor says seven.
The seventh was added later.
Later?
10 years ago, there was a student who found out...
...there were six bodies hidden in this old schoolhouse.
Aoyama Chihiro.
Right before she was about to reveal the truth,
she went missing.
How... How could that be?
She was murdered.
Matoba-sensei hid her,
and spread the rumor of the seventh.
With the scary rumor,
this old schoolhouse was deserted,
Nobody would have discoverd the seventh body.
But, once the old schoolhouse is demolished,
That's right.
That's why the threat letter was sent to the principal.
If this schoolhouse is demolished, the bodies will be discovered.
That's why he tried to stop the demolition.
However,
that's not the only miscalculation of your part.
There are students continue to uncover this truth.
Sakuragi-san...
Senpai left it in this code.
Code?
To solve this code,
you'll have to key in the alphabets again using this computer.
Alphabets?
"NO" becomes "K".
"CHI" becomes "A"
If you follow through,
then the result would be...
The love... behind... death.
To drip the blood... into the sandpile...
The bones are hidden in the wall?
Miyuki was attacked when she was trying to take off the poster.
Poster?
This is the truth of the seventh mystery.
Matoba-sensei.
This is Aoyama Chihiro-san that you murdered!
Sensei.
Sensei, do you think something like this would be forgiven?
This is a serious crime.
Wait, Aoyama.
This is not my fault.
Even it was an accident,
it's still a crime!
I'm going to tell the police everything!
Listen to me.
I don't want to listen anything from you again!
Let me go!
Aoyama-kun!
I didn't mean to kill her!
It was an accident.
Kindaichi is right.
I was ordered by the director,
and sent to this school.
I wanted to forget about the bodies.
To be a teacher,
but I can't.
Things are getting complicated.
That's why...
If the old schoolhouse is demolished,
I will be suspected.
Then I thought up the mirror trick.
I called Makabe-kun to witness the death ritual.
How about Onoue and Nanase-kun?
Because he solved the code.
Nanase wanted to take off the poster.
You're being selfish.
You killed the innocent students to protect yourself.
I was scared!
For the past 30 years,
each day I was worried the bodies might get discovered.
I couldn't even sleep at night.
I was scared, I was worried.
Why can't everyone just get their hands off?
My boss and coworkers all died,
and I was quietly living along,
It's your fault! It's all your fault!
You asked for it!
I'm not at fault!
Tachibana-san! What are you doing?!
Stop it!
Saki, call the ambulance! Okay!
Let me go! He's unforgivable!
Tachibana-san! No, Aoyama-san!
Aoyama?
I see.
Am I wrong?
I believe you're Chihiro's father.
Even if you do this, your daughter won't come back.
Aoyama-san.
I...
I was here waiting for this day to come.
Chihiro...
There's no way Chihiro would disappear with no reason...
Something must have happened.
Then...
Chihiro...
I... I don't want to die.
Sensei!
Eyes... my eyes are blurry...
I... I don't want to die...
Save me...
It'll be here in 10 minutes!
No, it's too late.
The after-school magician.
He will not appear again.
Forever.
And so,
the seven mysteries murder case ended.
According to the police investigation,
they've discovered six skeletons from the old schoolhouse.
The demolition started as scheduled.
A few days later,
at Aoyama's house, without her father present,
a quiet memorial service was held.
Sakuragi-senpai.
There's no after-school magician.
There was only a pitiful man,
being burdened by the past.
I see, everything has ended.
Yeah.
You carried the promise well.
Hajime-chan.
However, according to my surveilant,
the biology room lock was not broken.
How did you know?
The lock wasn't really broken. What?
But at that time...
That's too naive, Ossan.
I did this to it.
You!
You fool!
You naughty boy! Ouch...
Are you giving in?! Help, Miyuki!
Giving in now?!
Kindaichi.
Don't you run away!
