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?
We come to Tatsumi's house on uncle's request.
We know about the threatening letter sent by the cursed knight.
The killer killed his first victim in the locked chamber.
What a damn bad luck. How come?
{Headless Samurai} - File#2
Miyuki, where are you, Miyuki?
Not supposed to have any junction here.
Don't tell me she lost her way.
That is...
Miyuki's sandal.
The shoesprint is similar to the cursed knight's at the corridor
when he attacked Shino-san.
No way.
Miyuki, where are you?
Miyuki...
Why would the cursed knight catch Miyuki?
Miyuki!
Kinda embedded by fog, never to return anymore.
Calm down. I must think calmly.
The guy must be wearing thick armour
and carrying Miyuki.
If so, they shouldn't be far.
Probably they are just nearby.
The cursed knight.
Miyuki.
How?
There's no time to find uncle now.
Damn.
Now I can only go in myself.
Miyuki, wait for me. I'm coming now.
I am a policeman.
May I know whether you happened to see a pair of high school students?
The two students
probably are caught by a man who called himself the cursed knight.
Curse... we don't know.
Wait, please cooperate with police.
Damn, what kind of villagers. Oh boy.
Inspector Kenmochi.
Fuyuki-san. You are here too, Shino-san.
Is it true the two lost contact?
I guess it's the cursed knight doing.
Fuyuki-san, what is trying to hide by the villagers here?
Everytime I mention the cursed knight, they'll run off, saying nothing.
This is about two lives.
Tell me frankly. What is the legend of the cursed knight?
Up to now, I'll tell you everything.
But sensei, the legend...
It's not time to think about it now.
Yes.
Four hundred years before,
during Sekigahara Battle,
A defeated general led tens of his men to seek refuge in this village.
The general was Kaneharu-sama.
Kameharu-sama hoped the villagers could help them to hide.
So they sent a messenger
but...
Yes, the village head agreed to my request.
But he pointed out one condition:
Condition? What condition?
Say it quickly.
What are you doing?
Please forgive me. In order to live on...
You want to take my life in exchange to your own?
Traitors!
I'll become an angry spirit and curse your generations.
The cursed knight.
Damn, my hands...
Miyuki.
I want to show you something.
What?
Seimaru.
Why would you do so?
Avenge.
I am Kameharu...
The ancestor of Tatsumi took my life.
I want to kill all who are related to Tatsumi.
They who obstruct me from revenging must die.
Take my curse.
Kindaichi, you are awake.
Luckily.
Where... where is here?
This is the home of Tatsumi.
Fuyuki-san found both of you fainted in the cave.
Miyuki, how's she?
Don't worry. She sleeps soundly.
Fine.
What happened, Kindaichi?
To save Miyuki who was taken away by the cursed knight,
I followed into the cave where I was knocked off.
What? So you saw the cursed knight?
Yes, although it was dark inside and he was wearing armour,
I couldn't see his body size but I'm very sure...
the killer is not Seimaru.
What do you mean?
I saw.
In the dark, the thing under the foot of the cursed knight...
Don't tell me...
Yes, I'm so sorry. That is...
the head of Seimaru.
No.
Seimaru. - Shino-san...
Shino-san. - Let me take you to your room.
The resentment of a general who was killed by his own men...
so this is the legend of the cursed knight.
Yes, until now the villagers are still afraid of Kaneharu.
But why?
But did he catch Miyuki who has nothing to do with Tatsumi?
And since he intended to kidnap,
why didn't he kill us then?
Hajime-chan.
Miyuki, are you alright?
We are safe, Hajime-chan.
I'm sorry. If I was more concern about you back then,
these things won't happen.
Never mind, cos' I believe you'll definitely come to my rescue.
Because I have a
famous detective carrying Kosuke Kindaichi's blood to protect me.
So I never worry.
Miyuki...
Hajime-chan.
Hold on, what do you intend to do?
Nothing, just wanna stay more by your side.
Don't come near.
The trace... - Bingo.
Uncle, I heard you've solved the case. Really?
I'm sorry, Kindaichi. It's my turn to say the verse now.
The mystery is solved! The murder is in here.
The case is done.
First of all, how did the killer escape from the sealed room?
We have known there is a rod on this window which can be taken off.
What?
After that, the killer used this to pass through the valley.
That's my father's...
Right.
I found the mark of arrow from the tree.
So I start to inspect until I found this.
What if then?
The killer has predicted the time when Akanuma-san was not in room
and slipped in.
Then he used unnoticed strong nylong string for fishing
to tie around the iron rods. After that, he tied it to the arrow on bow
and shooted it our accurately to the tree.
Then the killer ran to the opposite bank and tied the string to the tree.
At night, the killer
tied a rope prepared earlier to the string
before circled it to the tree's bark.
And so, a hanging bridge made from strings is set.
I see.
He made a temporary bridge by this.
Hold on.
The person who can passed through the narrowed rods
must be a small-sized woman.
OK, to do so
for a small-sized, quick to react guy, we only have one.
The guy has been doing stunt since fourty years ago.
The cursed knight who has killed Akanuma and Seimaru
is you, Senda Saruhiko.
Senda is not here.
Senda is not here since the beginning.
I guess he has run away.
Sure he's not far away. Get Saruhiko at once...
Yes.
Too bad... awful.
What?
The gun... keeps at the hall is gone.
What are you talking about?
Yes, right.
There's no sign of running away by here.
Still zero, huh.
Uncle, listen to me.
Who knows when will the guy kill someone again.
I think your theory just now...
Gunshot! Hurry! Hurry!
Don't tell me Saruhiko...
Inspector, there's a dead body here.
What, it's too late.
He is...
...Senda.
Senda Saruhiko died from an accidental gunfire.
Gunfire.
So Saruhiko died from an accident then.
I guess.
But why would he do so?
This...
You better take a look at this.
This is kept inside Senda's bag.
The blade belongs to Kame's village.
Why did Saruhiko has this thing?
This... we can assume this.
Fuyuki-san,
Saruhiko is the grandson of the general Kameharu who was killed
by the ancestor of Tatsumi.
What, Saruhiko is Kameharu's grandchild.
The guy slipped into the family
to wait for the best timing to revenge for ancestor.
Finally, the time has come.
Which is the fighting for property by Tatsumi's members.
He disguised as the cursed knight in order to kill all of Tatsumi's.
But Akanuma appeared from nowhere.
I guess Akanuma knew about Senda is the grandson of Kameharu.
To avoid him from teling the truth, Senda killed him.
After Senda terminated the ruin-maker,
he killed his victim of revenge on the early morning of second day,
which is the next head family of Tatsumi, Seimaru.
For Senda, the power fighting between Tatsumi's members is the best cover.
Because everyone will think that the murder is for the sake of the property.
While he kidnapped Kindaichi and Miyuki
to complete his murder plot smoothly.
But...
because I discover his plan, he ran away up to the mountain.
Maybe he intended to kill someone there...
Inspector Kenmochi. - What?
The reason for gunfire has been investigated.
Actually, there is a piece of lead stuck in the mouth of the gun.
Lead?
Moegi, the gun has been modified.
Bro, while you are studying in England,
a thief intended to steal the gun.
Dad did so to avoid danger.
This is a fact else known by everyone in the house.
Only Senda who just arrived here recently didn't know.
Hold on.
Besides Ryunosuke and Saruhiko, does everyone know about this?
Yes.
Why, Kindaichi?
How come?
So, the action back then...
Could it be...
No matter what, the case is solved.
OK, let us drink to cheers.
What, drink to cheers?
Yup, to celebrate the closing of case.
Meanwhile, we can choose the most suitable
candidate as head family during the party.
Devil...
You are a devil.
Are you happy with the death of Seimaru?
Shino-san.
You... you are a devil.
Ryunosuke.
I guess you are not celebrating for someone being murdered.
I doubt your common sense.
Now the case is solved. We'll handle the rest ourselves.
We don't need to trouble outsiders like you.
Please leave here immediately tomorrow morning.
Damn it, he's too ungrateful.
I can't believe Ryunosuke gets the final advantages.
If so, why do we solved the case for?
Nope, the matter has not been solved at all.
I have thought before
the theory uncle proposed yesterday.
Of course I have suspected whether Saruhiko is the killer.
However, I don't think the fella is capable to carry out the plan.
What do you mean, Kindaichi?
I must return to the village again and find the truth.
I must find the killer who has tricked us all the while,
in the name of granpa.
Finally we reached. Let's stay at this motel tonight.
Agree.
Welcome.
Black cat...
Why do you stop suddenly, Hajime-chan?
I see.
What?
The mystery is solved.
What are you talking about?
The festival of knight will end today.
The next chosen head, Master Seimaru has died.
The person entrusts to succeed as head of Tatsumi family
is most suitably the eldest son, Ryunosuke.
I guess you have no objection, Shino-san.
Yes.
So let's follow the tradition if Tatsumi family.
The new head must stamped a bloodprint under his own name.
Please hold on.
What's up?
Let us cheers before you stamp bloodprint.
To congratulate the new head of Tatsumi.
OK.
As I recalled, Auntie Shino can't drink wine.
OK.
Let us cheers for a bright future of Tatsumi.
Wait.
Kenmochi-san.
You guys. Weren't you leave already?
It's obvious.
We are rushing back here.
For the sake of disclosing the truth in front of everbody.
Nonsense.
Isn't that the uncle has just solved the case?
The theory is a trap set by the killer.
The true answer lies somewhere else.
Don't talk nonsense.
I'm not,
actually the theory of sealed room plot proposed by uncle Kenmochi
has a blur point.
Even the killer doesn't realize it.
Which is, Saruhiko is a heightphobia.
So, it's not possible for him to pass through the valley.
How do you know about this?
Look at there.
That is...
The stairs is used by Saruhiko-san while he was alive.
Look carefully.
That is tallest tree in the garden. No matter how tiny is Saruhiko-san,
once he climbed up the stairs,
he could cut the branch of tree.
But he did not climb on it,
instead he purposedly used a branch-scissor to cut branch. Why?
He has heightphobia.
So he did not dare to climb higher.
Of course I believe people like him
won't be using ropes to pass through valley.
This is only your own hypothesis.
Do you have any prove?
I have.
According to police investigation,
Saruhiko-san quitted from a stuntman
because he
fell off from string-passage before.
From then on, he was a heightphobia.
How could you explain the arrow mark on the tree
at the opposite side of the room?
That is just a bait created by killer in
order to avoid us from finding the truth.
But, he did not know that Saruhiko-san was a heightphobia.
That is why he is careless in setting up a trap incapable by Saruhiko.
But if Saruhiko-san is not the killer...
Yup.
Saruhiko-san indeed involved in all these crimes.
But the point is, he's just a puppet.
You mean Saruhiko is not the mastermind.
Yup, this case is carried out together by two person.
I've noticed it earlier
when I went to save Miyuki who has been taken away by the cursed knight.
At that time, I followed the man into cave
but the one who knocked me off came from behind.
The cave is so narrow,
neither junction or other entrance.
In such a small place, it's impossible for the first-to-enter cursed knight
to move back behind me.
So, I'm sure there are two killers.
Then... Hajime-chan...
don't say that the death of Saruhiko is not merely gunfire, too.
Yup, it is also a trap by the real killer.
The killer knows about the lead piece in the gun,
the gun will gunfire for certain if clicked.
So he used this point
to mislead us into thinking it as
accident, and terminated Saruhiko's life.
The bag next to the body was also put purposedly by the killer.
He just wants to prove Saruhiko-san as the killer.
Under the pretending of cursed knight, the real motive of killer is
to make Saruhiko as the grandson of Kameharu,
create a false motive as if it is a 'revenge of 400 years ago'.
But Kindaichi,
how did the killer cheat Saruhiko into conspired with him?
Though I don't intend to be disrespect towards the dead,
but he is really clever,
and tricky. By right, he would not allow himself to be manipulated.
Cos' there is one important deal between the killer and Saruhiko-san.
Deal?
The deal
directly creates a same objective between them.
Common objective?
What is the common objective?
The large sum property of Tatsumi.
Killed the inheritor Seimaru to assist the other obtains Tatsumi's property.
This is their common objective.
Hajime-chan, could it be...
Bingo.
The real killer, cursed knight who plotted the murder plan is here.
Sorry.
Uncle, out of difficulties you complete your theory.
Yet, I must disclose the real identity of cursed knight no matter what.
The last secret hidden by Hidaka.
I know the real identity of the killer
when the mystery is solved.
Yet what I don't get is
what is the reason causing him to become so ruthless?
