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?
Non-fiction novel author, Tachihana Goryu was killed by an unknown person.
And to catch the killer, I find each of the party guests
via clues from the message-passing.
Duped by the killer into carrying the guilt of serial killing, I
once again come to Tachihana's villa.
At there, my conclusion is that...
{Kindaichi the Killer?} - File#4
Hajime-chan, is it alright to do this?
Are you sure the killer will come?
Please, just wait and see.
But, I'm quite suffer with the position.
Yup.
Uncle Kenmochi, can you distant yourself from me?
I hate to touch dirty stuff.
Finally you show up.
I've been waiting for you.
The trap Akechi-san and I created in order to lure you out works very well.
You must think that I have been send to the hospital,
then the villa will be unblocked, so you come here.
The real killer, I won't let you escape anymore.
Freeze!
Trying to escape?
Give up.
Finally we get him, Kindaichi.
So this is the guy who killed Tachihana and the rest?
But, Kindaichi-senpai,
if he is the killer, why is he here for?
To obtain the original draft of Tachihana which is hidden in this room.
Ah?
This room?
Yup, the root of the serial murders
is the code implies the location of draft
which was left behind by Tachihana.
When you knew the answer to the code is "YOU'LL KNOW BY ASKING OUMURA",
you returned to Tokyo.
Then you knew about the message of "Ask Tokitou",
"Ask Katsura",
and "Ask Nonaka",
so you killed them one by one.
All is to avoid others to get the answer via message clues.
But when you heard Nonaka-san said "It has ends when my turn come",
only then you realized
the true implication of the message-passing game.
In fact, the sequence of those who passed
message is the true answer of the code.
Sequence?
Try to think of it.
From the initial party MC, Harugaku
who is suddenly changed to Katsura-san,
the most important clue of it.
Senpai, what is your meaning?
Name. - Name?
Look at this newspaper.
The location of the draft
is implied in the names of these four.
What... what is the meaning? I don't get it at all.
You are real dumb fool.
The "OO" of Oumura, "TO" of Tokitou, "KEI" of Katsura.
Add them up and read it out.
OO... TO... KEI...
You mean this, Kindaichi?
Akechi-sensei indeed.
Finally add up...
Ou...
clock...
inside...
Found it.
The floppy of Tachihana-sensei's latest work.
To hinder the draft from being published,
which will in turn reveals all your crimes,
you killed the five.
Tachihana said it is a novel which discloses an illness in a society,
and also...
he mentioned a name of the party's guests in the book.
He would expose the person's crimes.
The person is the real killer.
This guy?
When Oumura is killed, he realized I am
looking for the draft via the game, too.
So he intends to put all the blames on me.
He killed people whenever I was around.
Hey, Kindaichi, if this the case,
how did he escape from the studyroom on the night Tachihana was killed?
Your guess is right.
On the muddy path which was watered by rain,
there is only my footprints.
Thus, this is the biggest question.
But, I have figured out "the invisible
path" which is used to escape from studyroom
without leaving any footprints.
What?
It's late midnight now. What do you want?
Two points in the trick:
First, a call Kiku-san received at 10pm.
Second, the bunch of keys which is at bedroom instead of studyroom.
Bunch of keys?
Normally sensei would carry with him all the rooms' keys of villa.
But on that night,
the keys were left in the bedroom of Tachihana-sensei.
Phone call and keys.
The answer from the two clues
is the truth of the door.
See, this is the "invisible path".
The door?
After the killer killed Tachihana on that night,
and knocked me out,
he took the key...
That's sensei...
Senpai.
He climbed on the door like this...
Ah?
He got near to the next door through the movement of door.
Then he opened the door with key.
After he climbed to the next door,
he closed the door of studyroom.
Then...
he used the same method to climb onto third door.
How?
If he moved through doors, you'll see that
he could reach here without leaving any footprints.
Such absurd.
But, it still can't be proved.
It is 2km distance more from the door to main building.
Of course, we couldn't fly over there even if we move via door.
But, the killer solved the problem with one call.
Call?
Kiku-san, please repeat what you did that night.
Ah?
OK OK.
At that time, sensei rang me up to air his bedroom.
Yet I'm too old to climb up the roof window and open it.
So I...
What?
The killer used these two doors
to bridge over from one room to main building.
So he successfuly ran away, leaving no footprints.
As Kiku-san is partial-deaf,
so he don't have to worry she might
realized the call was not from Tachihana.
Inspector Nagashima, you claim that I'm the killer from the beginning,
and neglect in your inspection toward others,
thus I must ran away back then.
I must find the true killer myself.
But, Kindaichi...
You are saying this guy killed people whenever you are around.
Even the police is not able to track you,
how come this guy could...
Because he's hiding at a place where
he could know about my whereabout,
which is through Itsuki.
Ah, what?
Itsuki-san, I guess you only told
your few friends about my whereabout.
Yup.
Don't tell me...
the true killer is among those I asked to help you?
What a pity.
That's why the killer is able to assume the timing
and shows up at anywhere I'm going to.
Before the code is breaks, he helped me to escape.
After you get the draft,
I will be detained by police because of these murders.
This is your own written script huh.
Wait, it's not sufficient to prove him as the killer merely from this.
Yup.
If someone breaks the code
through the serial murders,
then the one who comes to steal the draft might not be the killer.
Hey, hey.
You are right, but...
I can prove him as the killer.
What?
The broken pieces of aquarium glass in the studyroom.
When I entered the studyroom,
there is none broken glasses yet besides the body.
Which means, the aquarium is purposedly broken by the killer
after killing Tachihana and knocking me out.
He tried to cover something.
I got it, water!
The killer intended to use water to cover...
No, wrong.
Instead it is the tiny broken glasses,
which is also the broken glass lense of specs.
Both of you had a quarrel
while you are looking for the draft.
You broke your specs while you killed him.
If the police discovers the broken glasses of lense,
you'll be suspected by police for wearing spectacles.
So, you broke other glass-made thing to cover the broken spec's glasses.
You misled people into thinking it broke due to your fighting.
Your tactic is super sophisticated. I'm impressed of you.
You better surrender.
The true killer of serial murders who put the guilt on me!
You better surrender.
Ah?
Impossible...
I guess you better admit it,
Tsuzuki Tetsuchi!
Really Tsuzuki Tetsuchi?
I can't believe it at all.
We'll know about it by reading the draft in the floppy.
We'll know by reading Tsuzuki's crimes stated inside.
Is it true, Tsuzuki?
Maybe the draft did expose my crimes,
but, even so,
you can't conclude that I'm the real killer of this serial murders.
Tsuzuki, how dare you denying it still?
"The invisible path" is proven.
It only proved besides Kindaichi,
others might have killed Tachihana only.
Then, how do you explain about the specs?
I'm not the only one wearing specs on the spot.
Haryuu who is standing there, too.
Nope, your specs is already broken at that time.
What is your proof, Kindaichi?
The proof is here.
I captured these from Saki's tape before and after the murder.
Ah!
Tsuzuki's specs are not the same.
Yup, the specs you are wearing before the murder was broken during a fight.
So, there's no way you could wear it after murder.
Tsuzuki-san, are you still denying?
Not like this. - What?
I used to bring a backup specs withe me anytime.
I could change my specs whenever I wish to have a change of mood.
Ah?
I changed into another specs that night because of sudden thought, too.
So you mean you changed into another specs
due to sudden whim... - Yes.
I'm waiting for you to say so.
What?
Your words just now has proved
that you are the killer.
You better admit it now.
Hajime-chan, what do you want to do now?
Tsuzuki said he changed his specs out of sudden whim.
I want to prove that it's impossible.
What?
OK, show time. - Ah?
Ah?
This is?
On the right is before murder, on the left is after.
The zoom up face of Tsuzuki
shows that the profile see through the lenses is sunken before murder.
But, after the murder, the profile is convex.
Do you know the meaning?
He wears reading glasses? - Bingo.
Before the murder, the specs is a low-power short-sighted glasses.
But the specs he wore after murder is reading glasses for long-sighted.
Ah?
Which means, the function of both glasses are different.
It's not used to change mood at all.
You have broken the short-sighted glass in studyroom,
so when you rushed over upon hearing Natsume's scream,
you are afraid you might be suspected without wearing glasses,
so you could only wear your reading glasses.
You have nothing more to say.
Your crimes have been exposed.
You are right.
I killed Tachihana and the four.
With my hands...
Why?
Why, Tsuzuki?
Everyone knows that you are an excellent director.
You even directed many interesting documentaries before.
As a reporter, I'm so much respect in you.
But you... how come you...
For my daughter.
I did it for Mizuminoru.
For Mizu-chan?
Itsuki. - Yes?
Do you know what scar is this?
This is...
The scar from operation.
An operation for kidney transplant.
Mizu has severe kidney malfunction.
Kidney malfunction?
It is a disease whereby the kidney lost its function due to some reason.
Once malfunction, the toxin which is
normally released from body via urine
will remain in the blood, causing urine toxin.
If severe, it may leads to death.
After my wife died four years ago, I addicted to work
and thus neglected my only daughter.
When I realized, it's too...
The only way to cure Mizu...
is to perform kidney transplant.
So I suggested to remove one of my two kidneys
to my daughter.
Daddy.
Hmm, why?
If I recover before summer holiday, I want to ride that.
OK, sure you can recover.
After that, I'll bring you to the theme park every weekend.
Really?
I love daddy.
But, I can't believe that...
the operation failed due to hospital's negligence.
The hospital only retributed me with some money.
I don't want it!
Liar, daddy is a liar.
You have promised to me bring to theme park during summer holiday.
Mizu...
At that time, the person appeared.
What? You have suitable kidney for my daughter?
Really, Maeda-sensei?
Yes, I'll try my best.
But I really need your assistance.
Yet, that is only the demon's sweet talk...
Ah?
What did he want you to do?
Smuggling.
Somemore, it's human organ's smuggling. - Eh?
Maeda wants to smuggle transplant organs from overseas.
We made a deal that if there's suitable kidney
for my daughter among the smuggled organs,
I'll get the priority.
Maeda just wants me to assist him in organ smuggling.
It's too much, how could he treat human's organs as trading items.
Right, it is very inhuman. I don't argue about that.
But, once I think of my daughte Mizu, I could only agree with him.
At that time,
I heard that Tachihana wished to publish
a book about human organs smuggling.
To make him suspend the publication,
I met him for a few times.
Then, on that night...
I listen no more!
After all, you are a media worker.
Do you know how detestful the thing you are doing?
But... - Shut up!
I will not listen to useless man like you.
Get out!
What does people like you understand?!
Then, its as what you theorized, Kindaichi.
Tsuzuki-san...
To save my daughter,
I commit unpardonable crime of smuggling.
I am even a evil murderer who killed five lives.
I am a jerk.
I'm hopeless.
But, now I know.
At least someone as hopeless as me could do one good thing.
Tsuzuki, what are you doing?
What?
Stop!
Why? Why must you do so?
Call an ambulance now. - Yes.
Tsuzuki-san, be strong. - Why, Tsuzuki-san...
I owe you, Kindaichi.
How could I push all crimes to you who are innocent.
I don't deserve to live.
Enough, say no more.
Please, Itsuki.
Give the other half of my kidney to Mizu.
Please. - Ah?
Such an idle talk.
If I do so earlier, I could solve it without killing anyone.
Tsuzuki-san, you...
Unbelievable, Itsuki.
Once I think that I am able to be a part of ny daughter,
I have no fear in death.
Tsuzuki-san?
Hey Tsuzuki-san, Tsuzuki-san.
Tsuzuki-san... - No use, he's...
Open your eyes. You can't die, Tsuzuki-san.
Damn it! Damn it!
Hey! How come the ambulance is so slow.
Do not disappoint him.
I want to send to a hospital whereby he
could perform kidney transplant operation.
You won't make it. - Ah?
Use police's helicopter.
How good if the operation this time goes well.
How could we let it fail?
This is a hope Tsuzuki gives his daughter with his own life.
Sure it will success.
Sure.
Great, Tachihana-sensei's book is the best-selling.
But, for the sake of Mizu,
they have deleted Tsuzuki-san's name.
So glad.
Hi!
To both of you.
You still remember Tsuzuki-san's daughter?
Mizu-chan? Heard that her operation went well.
Did you tell him about Tsuzuki?
Nope.
It's too cruel to a 11-year kid.
I don't think I wanna let her know first.
But, what about after she leaves hospital?
About this...
I have a plan...
to adopt her as my daughter.
Eh? You, Itsuki?
Though I'm not well off,
yet I could still afford a child.
OK, it's almost time for hospital visitation. Bye.
Itsuki-san is so fun.
Yup.
I can't believe he will feel embarassed too.
Oh yeah, Hajime-chan,
this I return to you.
Thanks.
Ah? This is...
this is not my pager.
Ah...
Really?
Cos' the number is incorrect.
No big deal about that.
Don't mind it much, let's go. - You...
what you mean by don't mind it much?
Oh boy, because I don't want to delete it yet,
"Happy Birthday" at that time.
, I hope to keep it for a while longer.
I want to show
love which is wordless
There has never been tender words
thus I like who you are and me
In my eyes
not even the slightest doubt
This words
are more important than anything
I want to hug you tightly
How much I love you
I want to be with you forever
Let us look upon the sky
at here
Just because of you I want to
