Cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
Even if we are losing
because of our unparallel thoughts
But the feeling
is what stays long forever
What should we do to get to the finishing line
and yet hold victory
The moon shines over my scarred soul
Just because of you I want to
cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
With you I will never give up
even for the slightest hope
On the true path of the most concrete present
to replace all fantasies

Minamiyama-san.
Please stop the activity of Mystery Night now.
Please ask Mr Redrum to come out at once.
No. Actually
Mr Redrum is not in the mansion.
Eh, but we did hear his voice a few times just now.
Welcome to Alyde Mansion.
It is a pre-recorded voice
which I played out.
Anyway let us inform the police first.
Minamiyama-san, call the police now.
The... the mansion is not equipped with any
phone or fax facilities.
So how can we get in touch with outside world?
Don't we have handphones?
What a weird thing.
All handphones I kept on behalf of you
are put here exactly.
All are gone?
How come?
Let's go to my car parked outside the garden.
We'll ring up the police from the village there.
Yes.
I'll pull down the hanging bridge at once.
The bridge can't be pulled down.
Ah, who is the culprit?
Akechi-san, look.
This is a organized crime.
By doing so,
the culprit will totally hinder our communication with others.
Why?
Why is he doing this?
This...
can only be answered by Mr Redrum.
What about you, Hajime-chan?
Nil. I've searched all over the place
but couldn't find any way to go out from mansion.
We are now completely lost communication with the world.
I don't believe
we are trapped in this mansion.
How's with the mansion's internal?
I've seek all around
but couldn't locate any hidden room.
Just exactly as this map.
Which means the killer
is one of us here.
Hey, what do you mean?
You are saying the killer of Touma-san
is among us.
Makes sense.
Because the mansion itself
is just like a huge hidden room.
Somemore, all people inside the mansion
who are present on the spot are only ten altogether.
Oh.
So he is Redrum.
What are you talking about, Mr Columbo?
Nothing.
I am thinking of the name Redrum.
Somewhere before I've heard of it.
REDRUM.
If it is written in opposite way will be
MURDER.
Ah.
Ah, MURDER.
It means klling.
Killing?
Redrum means killing people?
Which also indicates
among the ten,
one is the Mr Redrum.
Yes. Sure enough you know, Minamiyama-san.
Surely you'll know the true identity of Redrum.
I... I don't know.
Frankly, I have never meet Redrum until now.
How come?
You never meet your master.
Looks like we are being tricked into
the mouse trap without realising it.
We have fall into the murder game set by Mr Redrum.
Yes.
And this case must be done in 4-days 3-nights.
Three more days to go.
In other words,
the murder play directed and acted both by Redrum
has just on air.
Do not peep, Hajime-chan.
I will never do such thing.
If you are worried,
don't ask me to come. - But I'm scared.
Ceh... mean girl. Ah.
Have no fear.
Since Touma is dead,
we are the only one know about it now.
Activity of Mystery Night has been suspended.
And worry not of where might
the mansion be relocated.
If you got it, go back and sleep.
Heh, what a chicken.
By the way,
why is the Redrum
created such wax figures?
Mmm, Superintendent Akechi Kengo.
Wait, Akechi.
Ah, got it.
If I'm not mistaken, the Akechi is...
The hardest puzzle of this case
is the wax man.
Eh.
Why is the way Touma was killed
similar to her wax figure?
I don't think the killer's motive is to
frighten us only.
Think as you like, Hajime-chan.
But don't ever get near here k.
If you said so,
I better get back to my own room.
No, it's scary. Keep me company.
Ceh... mean girl.
Morning, dear detectives in East Tower.
A peaceful night has just passed.
Hajime-chan.
The second horror show is now begins.
The stage this time is in West Tower.
Damn it, something might has happened.
Akechi-san.
Hurry to the West Tower.
Hell, it's locked.
Someone seems to lock it from inside.
Akechi-san.
Get back.
Hah!
Richard-san.
No, that is the wax figure of Richard-san.
What the - How shocked.
Damn, Richard's room.
Kindaichi, have you forgotten?
When Touma is killed,
we also first found the wax figure. Then...
Richard-san.
Ah!
Just like the case of Touma.
He was killed the way like his wax figure.
What happened?
The wax figures in the hearth chamber...
What the noise.
What are you doing at such late moment?
Eh, has Redrum said something again?
Eh.
Richard-san.
He'll kill us all.
We'll all be killed by Redrum.
What's wrong with you, Hajime-chan?
You have been staring at the wax figure since just now.
I have a strange feeling of these wax figures.
Strange?
Look at the woodstick.
At first I thought it was stabbed into the wax man
but instead the surface is plain.
It is only put on the chest.
Yes. But will it because
the wax man is too hard so it can't penetrate through?
But wax figures are nothing of hard.
See. - Ah.
Because the wax figure is too light,
the only actual part made by wax is the head.
The body is made from resin foam.
So you mean?
For some reason the killer
killed the wax figure first.
Then only he used the same method to kill the real person.
If really so,
there should be some reasons why
the stick is not stabbed into wax figure of Richard-san.
We have to ask
Mr Redrum then.
From what you said,
you seem to know who is Redrum. - The suspect for killing Richard
has appeared.
Ah, really?
I guess three suspects huh.
Oh, so you know, too, Kindaichi.
I guess.
Tell me.
Who's the three suspects?
No, I want to listen first to your theory.
More than simple.
This morning, while we were heading to West Tower,
the heater room was locked from inside.
After we kicked open it, the first thing we found is the wax man.
Then we ran to West Tower
where we found the dead body of Richard.
Which means when Richard was killed,
West Tower was a locked room which couldn't be go through.
Very right.
The killer is the one who is able to lock hearth chamber.
In other words, the three person who stay in West Tower.
No. I kill nobody.
Me too.
Neither do I.
But if we think in this way, that will be too easy.
To lock himself in the West Tower
is just equals to show himself a killer.
You are so naive, Kindaichi.
Why?
How could the killer do such thing?
Being opinionated is a big MUST NOT in evidence searching.
Opinionated?
Anyway, during the murder,
West Tower indeed is a locked chamber.
If we fail to unravel the plot of chamber,
then we won't be able to tell who's the killer.
Which also means we wouldn't be able to know the true identity of Redrum.
Chamber murder.
I can't get it right.
What is the plot of killer?
Or among the three in West Tower,
one of them is really the killer?
Suck.
I just can't sleep by the stopless thinking.
What to do?
I better check it out.
Check if there's any secret passage.
Redrum.
Guys, sorry to keep you waiting.
The third murder is now showing.
Hurry up to the huge hearth chamber.
What happened this time?
Huge hearth chamber.
Oh boy, so hot.
What is the heat? Just like sauna room.
Ah.
The head of Akechi...
don't tell me it's Akechi this time.
Oh, what happened?
Akechi-san, Akechi-san.
Tough. The door has been locked.
What's wrong, Hajime-chan?
Miyuki, get me spare key.
Wake up Minamiyama-san
and ask him to bring me the spare key.
Hurry up.
OK.
Why is the head so?
Now is the Superintendent.
Hajime-chan, trouble.
I can't find the spare key anywhere.
Hey, look.
How about break the door with this?
Ah.
Be strong, Akechi-san.
The third victim.
Akechi-san.
Ah.
You, Kindaichi.
Great, Akechi-san. I'm glad you are OK.
You know? You shocked us to death.
Why didn't you answer after our calling so many times?
I thought you are really killed by Redrum.
Lower your voice.
My head ache terribly.
What, headache?
There's some sediments in the water.
Sleeping pills.
But...
Yeah, isn't it strange?
Redrum said third case has happened
yet Akechi-san merely fainted off.
You hit the point.
Eh.
Only Bantou-san is not here.
Could it be...
Ah.
Look.
Bantou-san's wax figure is gone.
It's still here just now.
It was still here when I passed by.
Hajime-chan.
Hurry.
Bantou-san.
Bantou-san. Hah?!
Bantou-san.
Ah.
It looks like a remote controller.
Dear detectives,
you have been working hard all this while.
Mystery Night of Alyde Mansion will now officially end.
This time activity is totally set up by me, Redrum,
which is Kusantaro Bantou
in order to kill Touma and Richard Anderson.
Finally I end the whole case
with my own suicide.
Pardon me. There's no winner here for Mystery Night.
By this, the murder case is solved. No more people will die.
Something wrong with this case. - Yeah, but...
Don't you think so?
If the killer wants to tell the truth,
then why must he used the voice of Redrum?
Good point.
Wouldn't it be good enough to record with his own voice?
Putting the guilt of killing Touma and Richard on Bantou-san,
then put an end to the murder,
So you are saying one of us here is the killer?
The killer must be pretended to be shocked
now while his heart is beating gaily.
The real mystery story all goes like this.
Maria-san, you come here all the way from Germany
yet encountered such a horror murder.
The suspension of Mystery Night
makes me so unhappy.
Initially I hope after the winning,
I could relocate the mansion to Germany.
Oh, really?
Alyde Mansion belongs to Germany.
Ah, flame. - Ah.
Hearth?
Ah.
I see. So this is it.
What's wrong, Hajime-chan?
Miyuki, wait here. I'll be back soon.
You, Kindaichi.
Eh, too bad.
What's up?
I just try.
Try?
Exactly as I thought.
When Richard-san was killed,
West Tower in fact is not locked.
Oh.
Your point is?
In the guest room in East Tower,
only this room
has something which other rooms lack of.
Any idea of it?
No.
Hearth.
Somemore, in the guest room of West Tower,
there's also only one room with hearth.
That is the room of Touma who was killed.
So?
The two hearths are link to one smoke pipe.
After the killer killed Richard,
he locked the hearth chamber from inside.
Then he used the smoke pipe
to escaped from here.
I see.
But how to explain
the death of Bantou-san?
At that time, all of us have alibis.
Correct.
From the moment I reached here till everbody's arrival,
it only took three minutes.
After that, we were all together.
To move Bantou-san's wax figure to his room and hanged him up,
I don't think anyone had sufficient time.
No, there's one person
with such sufficient time.
Oh, who is it then?
That person is you.
Akechi-san.
In fact, during the time before we broke open your door,
you were at West Tower.
When there's panic,
you moved out Bantou-san's wax figure.
Then you hanged him up in his room.
After that, you climbed through the smoke
pipe in Touma's room to get back here.
In short,
the person who creates Mystery Night
as a stage for murder game,
killing Touma, Richard Anderson, and Kusantaro Bantou
is you.
Akechi-san.
No, it should be Mr Redrum!
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
