CONFUSED MEMORIES
While we are still strangers, we never notice one another
Yet after that, we stay by each other
There are smiles on the no-way escape guests
The time is here, the clock maintains
TIME TO LIVE TIME TO LIE
TIME TO CRY TIME TO DIE
I told myself
before I make it, I wanna see you
CONFUSED MEMORIES
Regardless what is the past, I wish to find an empty box
and put the world inside
CONFUSED MEMORIES
I want to be embedded by warm tears
Where is the freedom?
What a heck... oh no.
Why on earth must I participate
the Mystery Night?
Oh, don't tell me you are not interested then.
Famous detectives from all around the world will come.
I have gave out three postcards
but only I was left out.
I can do nothing but cry now.
No big deal.
By the way, are you going for a spa?
Not purposedly.
But I have four days leave,
so must fully utilise it.
Yo yo yo, a stack of excuses.
In fact you want to do spa alone.
So you set us up right?
No... no way.
Oh, Hajime-chan. Look.
Eh.
Is that the venue of the Mystery Night?
That is Alyde Mansion.
People around here
do not call it Alyde Mansion.
Eh?
What is that then?
You'll know upon arrival.
{Murder in House of Wax} - File#1
This mansion has been moved here
in total originality from Germany.
Initially it was planned to be established
as a Germany-style theme park.
But due to the collapse of the developer,
the project was abandoned.
No one takes over the mansion
and leaves out until now.
Wow.
Cool. Are we going to play
the game of killer here?
The winner will received this magnificent mansion.
I bet every contestant
will gives out their full effort.
Ah... a moment, a moment.
Miyuki, what are you saying just now?
The winner will get this mansion huh.
Eh, don't you know?
It's written in this brochure.
Hurry... hurry... let's hurry.
Hey, wait for me, Hajime-chan.
Get inside quickly.
Hajime-chan.
Ah!
Ah, I'm sorry.
It's OK. Are you alright?
Nothing, nothing at all.
Err?
No one's answering the door.
Never mind of it. Just enter and see.
OK.
Excuse me.
Anyone here?
Ah!
Only waxmen.
Eh, waxmen.
Err, I'm kinda worry.
So am I.
Ah, really.
Ah.
Hi, hi.
We come to paricipate in the mystery night.
Nice to meet you.
Hihihi.
Ah, she is Takigawa.
Are you Takigawa-san?
I am your loyal fan.
Hi.
You sort of admired by young girls.
Oh, I have fans from all age groups, Bantou.
Oh, no idea.
You only know to criticize
on other's works.
What if you write a mystery
too?
What do you mean?
Critic is a very respectable creative job.
He is a critic for mystery novels.
He used to criticize badly
on Takigawa's work.
Wao, you seem to know well.
Because I am a fan of mystery novels.
Hi, Kindaichi.
How... how do you know my name?
I am a detective.
You and your grandpa
are very famous in our field.
Really?
So, what are you guys doing here?
That...
Eh, that...
Look at the sticker on the door.
The door can't be opened.
That is the first level of mystery night.
I bet you are the grandson of Kosuke Kindaichi.
I am the reporter of society, Makime Jin.
Hello, Kindaichi.
Hello.
N- O-O-M.
This should be a secret code.
Even our respectable master of psychology
not able to break it huh.
So you have better idea, Columbo?
Err...
My uncle is a cop in San Francisco.
Sure enough he is able to solve it immediately.
What?
Hajime-chan, you have know it.
It is put upside down.
M- O-O-N
Means the moon.
Moon.
But what does it mean?
The clue is in this room.
This room.
It shows wax figures.
Ah.
Hua... so great.
Hi, you are quite smart.
Are you one of the participants of mystery night?
Yes.
My name is Kengo Akechi.
An officer from NPA.
So, you are Uncle Kenmochi's...
Kenmochi's supervisor.
Kenmochi's supervisor?
What a young man.
Kindaichi, I have also heard of your big name
in police unit.
Eh... not that big.
Eee...
All participants of mystery night,
welcome to Alyde Mansion.
Yeah.
This way please.
Mr Redrum is waiting for all of you.
Redrum?
He is the owner of this mansion
and the organizer of this mystery night.
Redrum.
Redrum is inside the big hearth chamber
waiting for you.
Please come in.
Ah.
This is...
They are the wax figures which look alike with us.
Participants of Mystery Night,
Welcome to the Alyde Mansion.
Are you satisfied with the gifts I prepared?
With my right on this mansion
along with 200 million yen relocating fee as bet,
I now announce
the beginning of Mystery Night in Alyde Mansion.
To the ten detectives
I chose among all applicants throughout the world,
good luck to all of you.
Ah, what kind of sound is this?
Ah.
The hanging bridge.
Ah...
Hanging bridge.
The entrance is closed.
Oh no.
What happens?
To help everyone concentrates on solving mystery,
you are not allowed to leave mansion during this four days.
What?
You mean we have to stay inside the mansion for four days.
You are also not allowed to get in touch with the world outside.
Please hand out your handphone.
Even handphone...
Although it is a mystery game,
but you are too over.
Yes.
We are at East Tower.
My room is next to Miyuki.
Sounds nice.
Here is it.
Eh, are we really going to stay at such place?
It looks eerie.
Dinner starts at 7 o'clock.
Your clothes have been prepared in your room.
Please get it changed.
Clothes.
Mine no. 2.
What kind of room is this?
Sort of prison feel.
Eh.
I don't feel good about this.
There is even police taking parts in Mystery Night.
There's nothing we could do now.
No matter what we do,
everything will end
once we get the mansion.
Including our past.
I'm getting more to like
everyone's clothes.
I bet only mine look peculiar.
You look fine too, Hajime-chan.
You are teasing me.
But why must we dressed up
like a waxman?
Don't tell me
this has something to do with Mystery Night.
Ah... I'm full to death.
Oh oh oh, I have noticed just now
that the painting looks alike to Maria-san.
Oh, really that alike.
After meal, I suggest we go for a billiards game.
Why is the billiards?
We are not here for fun.
Now we are not sure yet
when will the killer game begins.
Any problem, Bantou-san?
The game has begin now.
Thank you for the treat.
Miyuki.
Yes?
Do you still wanna eat?
No.
You are going for billiards, Hajime-chan?
Nope.
I'm not familiar with billiards' game rules.
Too complicated. I wanna take a bath now.
Eh, Ha- Hajime-chan.
What the - So naughty.
Frankly, I have never play billiards
before this.
No problem, I'll teach you.
Let's start with Ball 9 first.
Really?
You have to learn Ball 9 first. You'll win by hitting Ball 9 into hole.
Rule of Ball 9 is so simple.
Can I?
Don't worry, sure you can.
Miyuki, have you asleep?
What's up, Hajime-chan?
I can't sleep.
What about take a look at the mansion?
I don't want, it's so scary.
Don't worry.
I am with you.
Hurry, go.
Wait, I don't want, Hajime-chan.
OK, it will be fine.
What kind of place is this?
Here is the basement.
There is only a leisure hall inside.
Don't tell me...
the mansion is up to this only.
You mean?
There is not even a lamp here
while wax figures are everywhere.
Yeah.
But the atmosphere is too awkward.
Ah.
Ahh.
Ah.
Ah... Touma-san.
How come?
No, it's not a dead body but just a wax figure.
Wax figure?
It is a wax figure from the big heater room.
What happened?
Who is the culprit?
I'm sure all of you are shocked.
Next is the riddle of Mystery Night.
Check thoroughly the dead body of Touma
and find the killer from there.
Good luck to all.
Is this the murder case of wax figure?
So it means
one of us is the killer huh.
But the clue of this case
is only this wax man.
Eh, what is the wax man holding?
A billiard ball.
Why is such a thing?
Sure enough it's a message from the dead.
Message from the dead?
The victim wanted to tell us
the identity of the killer.
If we can solve the clue,
we'll get the mansion.
For me, this is really a
childplay game.
Hah.
I see.
I have figure out the killer.
Really, Richard-san?
Yes. Look at the colour of the balls.
Colour of the balls?
Green and red.
YES.
Assumed that before the victim died,
she left the description of the killer's wear.
Which means
the killer is wearing green and red.
Hah?
Ah, are you suspecting me?
Correct. You are the killer.
The fella is such a reckless thing.
What?
After the killer killed Touma-san,
he should have returned immediately to room and cleaned off the blood.
He should have changed another clothes.
Yes, it is. I am innocent.
Like what you said,
so you know who is the killer then.
You'll get it if do not think too complicated.
Look carefully at this.
The balls in the hand of victim
are No. 9 and 3.
So?
Bantou-san,
Ah.
Your name is
Kusantaro is it?
Which means Ball 9 and 3
are indicating your name, Kusantaro.
What are you saying?
You are the killer, Bantou-san.
Damn... damn it.
How dare you said I'm the killer?!
What are you laughing at, Akechi-san?
Initially, I am very long to compete with
Kindaichi who has solved many difficult cases.
Your theory just now, Kindaichi
is much more doubting.
The victim was stabbed to death in the heart.
I bet she died on the spot.
They who died immediately
do not have much time to grab a ball I guess.
Ah.
The two balls are put on her hand
by the killer after killing her.
So it is a trap intentionally set up by the killer.
By doing so,
he can blamed it on Bantou-san.
So you mean
I am so easy to fall into a trap?
Yes.
Then from what you said,
you should know who is the killer then.
Of course.
Who is that? Who are you pointing at?
Please be patient.
Billiards use the balls from number one to fifteen.
And this is the real Ball 9.
Eh, so the ball in victim's hand...
Please look carefully.
That is not Ball 9 but Ball 6 instead.
Oh.
Just as Akechi-san said.
Really.
In that case,
the killer has something to do with six and nine.
Nope.
The message is a trick made by killer to put the blame on Bantou-san.
What?
Then why did the killer took a Ball 6?
Simple.
The killer made a mistake.
Mistake?
Yes, and he who made such mistake
is you, Kindaichi.
You? You mean me?
Hajime-chan is the killer.
Bloody hell.
What's wrong am I to you?
You are very outrageous.
What are you thinking exactly?
During the billiards after dinner,
we were playing Ball 9 game.
We who joined the game
couldn't have made mistake of Ball 9.
And the only person not here was Kindaichi.
Except you.
Hajime-chan.
I don't want. I'm not familiar with billiards' game rule.
Too complicated. I want to take a bath.
How's my theory, Kindaichi?
Hehe.
Hajime-chan.
Superintendent indeed. Officer of NPA,
you have discovered all.
Right, I am the killer.
What are you doing?
We are all pranked by you.
Childish.
Ah. I have guess
the so-called childish trick will be revealed very soon.
Hajime-chan, what is happening actually?
Eh, because of this.
I got this letter from my room.
I am only doing this according to instruction.
You are too over.
So you are saying you brought me here
just to fright me off.
Yes. I'm sorry.
I never intend to frighten you.
Who knows?!
You can find the killer merely from this evidence.
You are Akechi-san indeed. Marvellous.
Yeah. So great.
You are much greater than a Mr-Who.
This... this depends on
my great acting of the killer's character, too.
Oh yeah, hold on, hold on.
Don't tell me Mystery Night
just end like this.
Who knows?
The answer of riddle has been solved.
Are you kiddin'?
How can it ends
merely by a stupid clue?
Does it make sense?
Hey, get me your person-in-charge.
Are you satisfied with the warm up exercise?
For the few intelligent detectives,
I guess it's far from enough.
But the real Mystery Night is only beginning now.
From now onwards, real puzzle and horror
will appear before you one by one.
What? Shocked us.
So it is.
If it ends so easily,
not worth to travel all the way to Shinshu.
Such meaningless to let
Touma-san acted as victim only.
You are correct indeed.
By the way,
why is there no sight
of the true Touma-san?
Yes.
Like what you said,
Touma-san is
your accomplice in this game too, Kindaichi?
No. She's not my accomplice.
I'll bring over Touma-san here now.
Wait a moment.
Let us go together.
Touma-san has no idea what is going on here.
Let us go to her room and give her a surprise.
Heh.
Ah...
Ah, Touma-san.
It indicates the end of game,
Touma's body is exactly similar
to what we saw in the leisure hall.
On her hand is two balls.
She was stabbed at the back
and lied death in a pool of blood water.
This is nothing of a game.
Instead a serial of murder.
The killer possesses a weak ray of light
and a feature alike to wax figures.
He continuously appears before us.
Redrum-san,
what is your motive?
Who are you exactly?
I swear
I'll unravel your true identity.
In the name of grandpa.

{Murder in House of Wax} - File#2
You have once said there is a place with beautiful flowers
The night stars on the sky are telling the pain of love
There we sit on the long bench and chat
The Ionely me could never understand it
in the past; Now I seem to find something
Time flies; Racing our exciting heartbeats
The season about you and me also blew away
We have thought of live the rest of
lives together; No one ever as sweet as us
What bonds us together
is our thought of each other
