A serial killings took place.
Akechi believed the killer committed suicide, and the case is solved.
But I don't agree with him.
The killer must be somebody else.
Snow Demon Legend Murder Case - File 3
Mama!
Mama.
You solved the mystery?
Kindaichi, what's going on here?
The water will freeze.
The water will turn into ice immediately in such a cold weather.
Ossan, prepare a rope, a shovel and a bucket.
What?
And contact the police immediately.
I need them to check on something.
No problem But why?
I want to uncover the real killer!
Stop it, Kindaichi.
I want to unveil the Snow Demon's trick before the snow storm ends.
Kindaichi has always been like that?
That's right.
He's dull, silly and rude. And...
But he's cool once he starts to think.
Is it? I don't feel that at all.
Are you guys classmates?
We're childhood friends.
That's really great. I envy you.
I envy you.
The people around treats you so well.
They're being superficial.
Actually, I don't have any true friends.
Not even a boyfriend?
Nope.
It's hard to believe.
That's why I envy the relationship between you and Kindaichi.
Wake up everyone!
What's going on?
Wake up everyone!
Everyone!
The murder case is yet to be solved.
Now, I, Kindaichi,
will uncover the true killer to you.
The true killer?
The one who killed Kano Rie,
Akashi Michio, Hiruta Masashi and Mizunuma Takau,
the killer for these four persons, the Snow Demon, is still alive.
Wasn't Mizunuma the killer?
He made the confession and killed himself.
No, he didn't kill himself.
He was killed by the real killer.
Hajime-chan?
How can that be?
Interesting.
Looks like you've overthrow my reasoning.
Yes.
Let's hear about it.
Kindaichi.
Mizunuma was holding the paintbrush with his right hand when he was dead.
What's wrong with that? Wasn't he a right-hander?
Let's have a look at this.
It's... It's a scissors.
I found this in Mizunuma's room.
Who wants to try cutting the paper with this pair of scissors?
Me, let me try it.
Reika, you're a right-hander?
Yes, here I go.
Something's wrong with the scissors.
Let me try it.
Okay.
This... This is...
A left-hander's scissors?
You're right!
Than a right-hander's scissors.
The real Himuro Isen was a left-hander.
There's an excise label at the bottom of this scissors box.
It is a label stating an additional 5% of excise.
The additional 5% excise started to implement in April last year.
There's no way it was brought by Himuro Isen who had died 10 years ago.
The scissors belonged to Mizunuma himself.
That said Mizunuma was a left-hander too.
Bingo! Miyuki, you're right!
Kindaichi, this is the fax from the headquarters.
What's that?
It's Mizunuma Takau's photo.
This was his photo during his high-school.
Mizunuma's glove was on his right hand.
That means Mizunuma was a left-hander.
He thought that Himuro was a right-hander.
That's why he pretended he was a right-hander in front of others.
And the real killer thought Mizunuma was a right-hander too.
And made a big mistake like this.
We believed that he killed himself in the studio because prior to that,
Akechi uncovered the true colours of a circumforaneous Himuro Isen.
We all believed that Mizunuma committed suicide because of guilt.
Looks like I made a serious mistake.
However, I'm not convinced enough to reflect on myself, Kindaichi.
No, Akechi. Your amazing reasoning were made use by the real killer!
The real killer gave Mizunuma the coffee added with hypnotic.
So that he had no alibi when Kano Rie is killed.
The same with the strange move by the Snow Demon.
So that we discovered the truth of the self-portrait,
and suspected the faker Himuro Mizunuma.
The real killer purposely set the trap smartly.
When we thought the missing Akashi was the one who killed Kano Rie,
he purposely let us discovered the body in the snowman.
In fact, those were the traps set by the real killer,
so that we believed Mizunuma was the killer.
These were the real killer's plan?
So far, yes.
I always feel that we are observed by the killer.
Don't tell me...
The real killer is among us?
What?
Please try to recall.
The way Mizunuma died.
And the way we discovered Akashi's body in the snowman.
This is a common trick used to make us believed Mizunuma was the killer,
Akashi was supposed to be killed after Kano,
but he had to be killed first because of an unexpected accident.
Unexpected accident?
Have a look at this.
This is the nightmare written by Mizunuma and the rest.
It has the name list on the survivals.
One of the names is "Kuze Marina".
Kuze?
Who is that?
There's no such person among us.
Ossan.
A girl called Kuze Marina, who was only 10 years old,
lost her parents in the accident.
So what?
Kuze Marina changed her surname.
And became a cruel killer.
The Snow Demon is here.
What?
Ayatsuji-san, but why?
That time...
Officer, that...
Is this the key to this room?
I went to take something from the car, then...
I saw something in the snowman.
I poked the snow,
Everyone, the coffee is ready.
I remember you said woman is double-faced.
And the other side of you is "Snow Demon".
Am I right, Ayatsuji-san?
That's just a coincidence.
But why must I killed that four persons?
I don't believe that discovering the key and poking the snow,
can make me a killer.
Kindaichi, there is still one mystery has yet to be solved.
Which is the alibi when Kano Rie is killed.
Hajime-chan, when Kano Rie is killed,
wasn't Ayatsuji-san on her way to the crime scene, the annexe?
She departed at 1.50 from here.
The murder took place 12 minutes later, at 2.02.
Let's hear about that, Kindaichi.
How did I kill Kano Rie?
Ayatsuji-san is right.
Even the narrowest part of the canyon,
there's no way you can 'fly' over.
That's impossible.
It's possible.
She used the wisest trick.
Kindaichi, this is...
This is the narrowest part of the canyon.
What do you want to do?
Alright, everyone. I'm going to walk over from here.
Hajime-chan!
Hey... It's a cliff over there.
Hajime-chan, don't do it, you'll fall.
Kindaichi!
Wait a minute. He should be very confident to do this.
Let's just watch it quietly.
But... Look out!
He's walking in midair!
Hajime-chan.
What... What's going on here?
Look carefully.
This is the trick used by the killer.
What?
This is...
It's an ice bridge!
When did this thing...
That's right, if you cross the bridge,
you'll only need 3 minutes to arrive at annexe.
I see. This is...
It's a trick which only can be used in this season,
at this place.
Am I right, Ayatsuji-san?
But, Kindaichi.
How did you know you can produce a bridge like this here?
Reika, it's not being "produced", but being "created".
The night before Kano is killed,
she tied a few ropes here.
Then, she placed the pasture and small branches on the ropes,
and covered them with snow.
Once you pour the water on it,
under a low temperature of -20 degree,
it will become hard ice immediately.
She repeated the actions,
until the ice reached to the other side.
Then, she cut the ropes off.
And the ice bridge is created.
The pasture holding in Akashi's hand hinted you.
Yes. Akashi's action was an unexpected accident to Ayatsuji-san.
Why is there a bridge here?
Ayatsuji-san found his outing suspicious.
So she went after him.
Akashi grabbed some pasture before he died.
I believe that was his message before he died.
I see.
Then she hide the body inside the snowman.
After that, she returned to the main wing.
Which was the "Snow Demon Legend Murder Case".
Ayatsuji-san.
Kindaichi, I have one more question.
Can this kind of ice bridge endure a box vehicle that weights 2 tons?
Let's do an experiment now.
Is that alright, Ossan?
Me?
Come closer, closer...
Kindaichi, is it really okay?
Don't worry.
Thanks, Ossan.
Geez. If I fall I'll haunt you!
Here I go.
Amazing! It won't crack even with a box vehicle on top of it.
It's a SUGA bridge.
SUGA bridge?
"SUGA" is the dialect here. It means "ice".
During my grandfather's time,
Now, even the natives have forgot about this.
It is a "dream bridge".
I see, a "dream bridge".
You've come just on the right time. Let's solve the last mystery.
What do you want to do?
Kindaichi, is this okay?
Yeah.
This is scary.
Alright. Everything's okay.
Ossan, lend me your lighter. Okay.
Everyone, step back.
That's a really big fire.
Look carefully everyone.
Look, the bridge is melting.
The bridge is too heavy, it's falling.
This is the truth behind the wildfire saw that night.
Wildfire?
The bridge disappeared.
I see.
That was brilliant, Kindaichi.
I lost.
Officer Akechi.
Ayatsuji-san.
She grew up here.
That's why she used the Snow Demon legend to revenge.
What happened 10 years ago?
Only she will know.
Why did you want a vengeance?
Miyuki, have you ever had a "dream of hell"?
I had it once.
10 years ago at the jokul,
A scene that was similar to hell.
The memory is still vivid until now.
Mama.
Mama, where are you? Marina.
Mama!
You're fine, thank goodness.
Mama, mama! Marina.
Marina.
Mama!
Where is papa?
I'm going to save you now.
I'm sorry, is that hurt?
My feet are clamped, I can't move.
Marina.
It's useless.
No, mama, just hang on!
Marina.
Hey, over here. Hurry.
There's someone coming. Mama, we are saved!
Wait for me.
If you imitate Himuro Isen,
the four of us can live happily.
Mizunuma, please, be determined.
The four of us are lifetime partners, we will never hurt you, don't worry.
Well, we're counting on you.
Help!
Please save my mama!
Let's go! Wait, save my mama!
If you help, my mother will be saved!
Please! Shut up!
Wait, please!
Why? Why don't you save my mama?
Marina.
Mama, just hang in there.
I... I will definitely get you out from here.
Marina, let go.
You'll be crushed too, Marina!
No, I won't let go! I'll get you out from here!
It's alright, Marina.
It doesn't matter anymore. I just hope you can live on.
You must live on!
I won't forgive.
I will never...
I will never forgive them!
Officer Kenmochi.
Please inform the pointsman headquarters.
Okay.
If that's what she think,
I'll believe that too.
Ayatsuji-san.
I believe your mother would never want you to become this.
She hopes that you can live on and find your happiness.
Ayatsuji-san.
It's not late to start now.
You need not to lecture me.
Kindaichi, thank you.
Ayatsuji-san, I heard you.
I heard your words.
Sorry for the long wait.
Today, our super-idol guest is Hayami Reika.
Look, it's Reika.
Your encounter was really terrifying.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
She's really cute.
Oh yeah, today is Valentine's day.
Reika, how many chocolates did you give?
I don't like doing superficial work. So I only gave one.
This is a big news! Who is that lucky guy?
No... This is...
Who? Who is that?
I don't know.
Didn't she say anything?
Didn't Reika share her secrets with you?
But she didn't mention that she has a boyfriend.
But just now...
Kindaichi, you have an express delivery.
It's a Valentine's chocolate.
Who is the sender?
Who is that?
Don't underestimate this lady here.
"R. H"? Who is that?
