The puppet master from hell created a scary killing black art.
In a magic show filled with the colour of death and fear,
one will not die as long as the string is still attached.
Welcome to the magical express.
Destination to Hakodate, Asahikawa
Sleeper express train to "Sequestrum of the original"
Silver Meteor #1 is ready to depart.
Hajime-chan, hurry up! Eh?
Miyuki, wait for me!
Hurry up!
The Magical Express - File 1
Whoah~ This is my first time riding on a sleeper express train!
Me too! Me too!
Hey you guys.
We're not here for fun.
Furthermore, we don't even know what's going to happen next.
How dare you said that? What's that book?
Nothing special, since we're going to Hokkaido.
We're not going there for fun.
They made me feel so bad.
What's wrong with this?
It's just a tiny bed!
Just be patient! We can only afford this.
However, isn't this a pleasant ambience?
That's true.
Geez.
Do I need to content with this kind of
bed that I don't even can stretch my legs?
Please accept this bloody red rose.
Eh? What's this?
Magic eh?
Who's this? Who's being creative here?
Please accept the rose.
T... Thank you.
He gave me a shock.
It's so amazing. He must be the people from the fantasy magician team.
Eh? Fantasy? What's that...
I heard that there're professional magicians
performing magic show to the passengers.
I'm really looking forward to it.
This is a new way to attract passengers.
It's amazing!
Really amazing.
It's so amazing!
That was great!
It was so great!
Magic train?
That's right, we're on the train because
Kenmochi-ossan received a threatening letter.
Threatening letter?
Yes. It was sent to the police department the two days ago.
Perhaps there's a gimmick in it.
A gimmick in it?
You can find this kind of souvenir in Hakone too.
If you don't open it in accordance with the order,
you will never get to open it.
It looks like a normal box.
But it is a fine work.
Even the people from the institute of police science couldn't open it.
So,
maybe you can open it.
Wouldn't it be easier to leave this small matter to Akechi?
That fellow is going off to holiday starting today.
I don't even know where he is now.
Geez.
Therefore, I'm counting on you, Kindaichi.
If you can open it,
I will buy anything that you like.
Ossan, I did it. What?
How can this be?
The people from the police science institute, what are they doing...
What's inside the box?
Wait, it's stuck.
What?
It's so scary.
A puppet with bending limbs?
Kindaichi, look! What's written at the bottom?
Three days later,
the train to Hokkaido "Sequestrum of the original" will be cursed.
You will die with contentment, together with the ghastful magic.
The puppet master from hell.
Hajime-chan, wake up!
Wake up!
Look!
Over there!
The sun is blinding my eyes.
It's beautiful!
Although I didn't have a good sleep last night,
but with this fancy dining car,
I can't wait for the breakfast! This is so great!
Yeah, it's almost better than the Hokutosei express train.
Are you Kenmochi-san?
Yes.
This is the rose salad that you ordered.
Please help yourself.
Rose salad?
Ossan, I never thought you'll order things like this.
Nonsense! I didn't order it.
Excuse me.
I'm Robert.
I'm here to greet you morning.
Robert?
Good morning! Did you have a good sleep yesterday?
He's so cute!
How do you control the puppet?
I'm sorry for interrupting.
Next, the members from the fantasy
magician team will start their magic shows.
Please stay tuned.
That girl is the member of the magician team too!
This is so exciting!
She's so young and she's already in an outstanding magician team.
She must be very talented.
Hey, Saki.
Is the magician team really that amazing?
Eh? You don't know?
It's established five years ago.
It has a very good reputation in overseas too.
Especially their exclusive magic, "The lively puppet",
it's so amazing.
The lively puppet?
Welcome to magic train.
I'm the leader of fantasy magician team, Gent Yamagami.
My real name is Yamagami Fumio.
Now, please enjoy the magic show by the fantasy magician team.
Thank you.
Everybody,
the cards in my hands are all genuine.
Don't peep, or I'll goof up.
With the power of the spirit,
I'll crush this glass.
I don't know any magic.
No you don't.
How dare you as a puppet being cocky?
Robert.
You also don't know any formal magic.
How dare you!
Puppet abusing.
Takatoh, you're so stubborn!
This girl is pretty good.
How could I perform a free magic show to the passengers?
Yura-san, we really need your help to do this, please.
What's wrong the leader?
He only said 'hi' at the beginning.
It's been more than an hour now, why didn't he come out?
I've been looking for him throughout the entire train.
But I couldn't see him anywhere.
That's why we need Yura-san to do the finale.
Please.
Coming up next,
the finale will be done by our superstar,
Childe Yura-san!
That lady over there. Eh?
Can you give me a hand?
Ah... me?
Okay.
Senpai, go go go! Can Miyuki do it?
Well, first...
Ah... my barrette...
When did you...
It really bothers me to see you guys thrilled by a simple trick like this.
Here comes the good show.
Missy, don't you feel a lot better now?
Now that you mention it. Something strange at my chest.
Like I said.
Give it back to me!
No way. I'm still performing the show.
That bastard!
Now, I will squeeze this underwear into my fist.
I'm sorry. The glass fell.
I'm sorry.
And I will grip my fist hard.
Ouch!
That's the rose on the salad.
Eh? How did the rose...
Damn it! How could that be?
That's amazing!
You made a rose out of an underwear. You're really funny!
Was that his trick?
Damn it! I will remember this!
Hajime-chan, thank you.
Well, it was nothing actually.
It's just a piece of cake.
However...
Please give back my underwear.
I forgot!
Ossan, your cell phone is ringing.
Nope. That is not my ringtone.
What's going on?
Someone put a cell phone in my pocket.
Ossan, give it to me.
Hello?
Welcome to the magical express.
Did you enjoy the journey?
Who are you?
If I say, "the puppet master from hell", would you remember?
The puppet master from hell?!
The one who wrote the threatening letter!
Actually I want to inform you,
the bomb is going to explode soon.
B... Bomb?!
Kindaichi, maybe...
It's just a supplemental magic.
What's going on?
How could that be? The blare...
Could it be a bomb?
R... Rose salad exploded.
Do you understand now? I am serious.
The next fireworks will be greater.
What?
The next explosion will be 20 minutes from now.
If you don't take action quick,
the train will be blasted into debris.
Come in.
Excuse me, sir.
Someone called just now.
There's a bomb in the train.
We will make an emergency stop in five minutes.
Please pack as soon as possible.
A bomb?
Another peace disrupting case.
All passengers please remain calm. Leave the train one by one.
Don't push! Don't push!
Don't push!
Robert! Ah!
What are you doing? Don't get in the way, Satomi!
I'm sorry!
What are we going to do if we get involved in this explosion case?
Yuumi-san.
Don't get mad. Don't get mad.
You'll get more wrinkles if you get mad often.
You will become an old lady faster.
What are you saying Sakonji?! How could you say that to me?
What are you guys doing?
Hurry up and get off the train!
Geez!
Where is the leader? Geez.
At time like this...
Senpai, things are getting serious.
Hajime-chan, we shall leave the train the soonest possible, or else...
Hajime-chan.
Where did he go?
What's wrong, Takatoh?
I couldn't see leader anywhere.
Where did he go at time like this?
Eh? My husband?
Perhaps he'd already gone far when he heard about the bomb.
Great, everybody fled.
It'll explode in just five minutes.
I'll contact the police here.
Wait a minute, Ossan. Eh?
The disturbance... Perhaps it was just a false alarm.
Officer Akechi!
Why are you here?
Kenmochi, I've heard from the conductor regarding what happened here.
Well, there's no bomb at all but you already anxious in this way.
What are you saying?
Ossan, I do think so.
Perhaps there isn't any bomb on the train.
Kindaichi, even you...
But, Hajime-chan, the rose salad really exploded.
How could that be?
The rose salad is the problem.
When did the culprit change the salad?
All foods on the dining train were prepared on the train.
Furthermore, after that fellow called,
the salad exploded.
It was just in time.
It seem like he was around us, observing us.
He triggered the explosion according to our reactions.
If that's the case...
Could it be...
Yes, the puppet master from hell
is most likely on the same train too!
That's right, Kenmochi.
Think about it.
Who would put a bomb on his own train?
If that's the case, the call was just a joke.
However, that can't be help too. The disturbance is too great.
We have to refuge here according to the culprit's will.
We'll just wait and see.
It's almost time now.
Rose petals.
It's hard to believe that the puppet master is pretty smart too.
What's going on?
Does he merely enjoy seeing us panic again?
Or...
Akechi-san, you are here to see the fantasy magician team's show?
Yeah, they will perform magic show at the hotel every year at this time.
I'm their super fan.
I never miss any of their shows.
What a surprise, you're officer Akechi.
Kindaichi, a magic show is like a flawless crime.
Without even the slightest flaws.
It can be said as the state of art.
However, there's only one great magician that I've met so far.
Akechi-san, what's that?
It's the program rundown for the magic show.
Eh? This lady wasn't in the magician team.
It's from fireworks master.
How was the swirling rose petals?
Who are you really...
The most anticipating death magic show is beginning soon.
The stage is in cabin 5 in the train. What are you saying?
The theme of the show is "outer disappear".
Featuring red roses and colourful balloons.
Satomi-san! What's wrong?
Sa... Satomi-chan.
T... That...
Leader!
He's dead.
The blamed puppet master is serious this time.
Damn it! These dad-blasted roses!
What's this?
Is it a bomb? Run everybody!
Hurry! Get down!
Has it ended?
Perhaps... so.
It's...
Disappeared.
Yamagami's body...
Disappeared.
Hajime-chan, look at this.
That's Terminal Sequestrum Plain.
Sequestrum Plain.
We have arrived at Sequestrum Plain. This is the terminal.
Checking on every passenger's baggage?
Are they treating us like monkeys? I believe he is still here.
But I really saw leader's dead body in the roses.
I see.
What's so funny about that? My husband may be dead now!
Is it? Maybe it was just a new trick from Yamagami.
Eh? His magic?
Yeah, your husband really did a good show.
Sir, can you please expedite the investigation? Please!
Okay! Okay!
Geez, look at the schedule!
We have a packed schedule here, therefore...
Please!
I got it! Go away now!
Yes.
Are we going to perform at the theatre in this hotel?
Ossan, where's Akechi-san?
Perhaps he has headed to his room.
Strange.
What's wrong?
Because usually when thing like this happened,
he'll say, "Kindaichi, I want to challnge you to solve this case. "
But, this time he acted like he has got nothing to do with this.
Is it the same stage as last incident?
Someone checked-in earlier than us.
Hey! Kindaichi!
Yeah! Coming!
Eh? Totsune-sama.
May I ask... You want to check-out?
Hello!
Welcome to Sequestrum Plain. You're the puppet master!
Where did you hide Yamagami?
Do not rush.
I've just returned Yamagami to you.
What did you say?
At the corridor!
Ah... Who's that?!
It's... It's leader.
This... This is...
A puppet with bending limbs.
The adytum surrounded by swamp, Sequestrum Plain.
The puppet master is still here.
The mysterious man, Totsune Mario, who is he?
Ossan, the death magic show predicted by him has not ended.
The monstrous killing has a new target now.
Stop right there!
Where are you taking Miyuki to?!
Next time in Kindaichi Case File,
The Magical Express - File 2.
Can you solve this mystery?
The killer is among them!
