Tarot Villa Murder Case - File 2
The snow storm is getting stronger.
When can we leave?
Hajime-chan?
Tarot Villa...
Hello. I'm Hayami.
I know you're the one who killed Itami.
Who are you?
I'm the one who brought Itami's body to windmill hill.
Why?
What is your intention?
Actually, I need a favour from you.
It's an easy task for you who've killed Itami-san.
Well, you already have the killing experience a long time ago.
How did you know?
Well, that's not important.
What I need you to do is...
Director, are you looking for me?
You should've known what I'm going to say.
I'm busy now. Please make it quick.
How do I make it quick now?
Are you planning to terminate the contract with us?
Well, it doesn't matter. There's many people can do for you.
However...
If you want to terminate it, you'll need to return all the money to me.
All the money?
Stop acting like you're innocent!
The 50 millions used to purchase this villa!
Give them back to me!
How come... I've returned that to you.
The interest. You still owe me the interest.
If you do exactly as I say, you'll become a pop queen.
And you'll earn big money.
How does that sound?
Don't do this.
Do not refuse me.
Who is he? How did he know about that incident?
I've had no choice. I'll just do whatever he says...
In order to maintain a peaceful life like this,
in order to continue...
being Reika's father.
What's going on?
Power failure?
What was that scream?
It seem like coming from the balneary.
Let's go take a look now!
What was that scream?
It should be coming out from here.
What's wrong? What happened, Akama-san?
Who is this?
Akama-san.
Hajime-chan.
This is...
Tower of power down.
It means an unexpected disaster.
Another imitation of murder?
Anyway...
Don't touch anything yet. Please return to your room first.
Baas.
How did you know it was Akama-san's scream?
I remember when you rushed into the balneary,
you said "what happened, Akama-san? "
Yeah, because I reckoned that was Akama-san's voice.
I see.
Well...
Why is the slipper's colour that you're wearing is different?
I'm sorry. I always mixed up. There're too many slippers in the room.
I accidentally...
Is this a coincident too?
There're five blue, and five white.
If we pair them up,
look, there's a pair of different colour.
Perhaps someone wore a wrong pair of slippers.
Maybe. If it was during the power failure.
Oh no! That time...
Hayami-san, I really don't want to uncover the killer of this case,
If possible, I hope he can surrender himself.
If it'll break someone's heart, I really hope he'll do it.
Hello.
You did a wonderful job.
Don't tell me this! Kindaichi already knew.
What am I going to do?
I see.
Then I'll remove you from the suspect list.
Really? How do you do that?
Azrael?
I will be killed next?
No worries.
Isn't this a reverse card?
A "reverse card" is the antonym for "positive card".
The "Azrael" for instance.
A "positive card" means the arrival of Azrael, or to get killed.
But a "reverse card" means naissance or production.
Thank goodness.
What's so good about that?
Who would've thought this brat will have
something to do with naissance or production.
Yeah, this card is called the "hanged man".
Don't worry about the 50millions debt.
You've been working very hard.
It's my turn now.
Excuse me, Kenji-san.
Can you watch over the heater until 3 o'clock?
We need someone to put in the firewoods from time to time.
No problem.
Sorry as I need to get a two hours sleep now.
After you ask Kenji to watch over the heater,
don't leave your room before 3 o'clock.
What are you going to do?
I want to kill someone tonight.
I want to kill Kindaichi.
There's no hatred between us. I'm just forced to do so.
I'm so sleepy.
Strange. Why do I feel so sleepy?
My body is heavy like a rock...
What's going on?
This is strange.
Hajime-chan!
Hajime-chan...
Miyuki?
I'm so drowsy.
There's no time for this. Hayami-san...
Hayami...
Why did he hang himself?
That's...
That's the "hanged man" tarot card.
Another imitation?
Suicide?
If it is, the card would be strange.
I see... There's another killer.
No way!
Father... No!
The lost tarot cards were all found in Hayami's drawer.
Did Hayami-san suicide?
Maybe.
The room was locked when we entered.
He hanged himself because of the murder, he shouldn't do that.
No. Hayami-san didn't suicide.
What did you say?
I believe that Hayami-san killed Itami-san.
That's for sure.
I found a few evidence from the beginning.
But, why did baas kill Itami-san?
About that...
Everyone, please try to recall the night when Itami-san was killed.
He mentioned something from the past.
I was wondering why did he mention that?
But, when I rethink it,
I feel that those words set the motive to kill Itami-san.
The kidnapping of two kids 15 years ago.
Although one of the kids was saved,
but their father was strangled to death.
At the end, the other kid who was yet to be saved had gone missing.
Oh yeah.
A police was going to shoot the bank robber,
but he missed it and killed a passerby.
How could such thing happened?
I'm not sure baas was involved in which cases,
but, Itami-san might threatened Hayami with one of these cases.
And he killed Itami-san as he was huffy.
Was Akama-san related to any of the cases?
No, it should be other thing that caused director to be killed.
Because Akama-san forced Reika to sleep
with him by making use of the debt problem.
I see.
No!
My father didn't know about that.
I never told my father that I was being threatened.
My father wasn't the killer.
Reika-chan.
Please stay calm.
Reika-chan was right.
The one who killed Akama-san,
was another killer who controlled Hayami-san stealthily.
Another killer...
Another?
We know that baas had alibi in the morning.
Baas was preparing breakfast that time.
The one who carried Itami's body to windmill hill,
was the mastermind behind who controlled baas stealthily.
This is the first reason why he placed the body according to the tarot cards.
What does that mean?
Since he wanted baas to kill Akama-san, he couldn't let baas to be suspected.
So, he created an alibi for baas,
and used the cable car which can't be used before 8am,
But, he worried the suspicion on why be troublesome to move the body.
The... The tarot card...
He put the "Wheel of Fortune" tarot card on Itami-san's door,
to make us believe that he was imitating the
tarot card and moved the body to windmill hill.
That said, he is pretending that it was an imitation of murder.
Wait a minute, detective. You said baas didn't kill himself.
Yes, you're right.
After he killed Akama-san, he had no value in use anymore.
So the mastermind behind...
killed him.
No way.
That's strange.
I was here all along to watch over the heater.
I didn't see anyone walking into his room
between the time when he was in the room and when we discovered his body.
Because I could see baas's room from here,
as well as all the guest rooms at first floor.
I would've know if someone walked into baas's room.
That's impossible. How did the mastermind kill baas?
If accoding to these tarot cards, I'm sure he's the mastermind.
But, how did he do that?
The rooms are connected with an inner door.
Why if the killer had the inner doors keys from room to room?
No, baas's room is beside mine,
and...
If it was the mastermind who instructed baas to kill Akama-san,
why would he kill baas after he used him to achieve his objective?
What's the reason?
Klindaichi, is that true?
My father was killed by someone?
Yeah.
But, I'm not sure the killer's motive.
I need to know his past to find out the killer's motive.
Reika-chan, these are all the photos?
Yeah.
Strange. The earliest picture was taken at age 3.
There's not even one picture before 3 years old.
Reika-chan, what about your mother?
My father said mother died when I was young.
That said your father brought you up alone.
Yeah.
What's wrong with this?
I see.
If that's the case, then...
But how could that be?
There are two people here at the Tarot Villa having the same characteristic.
What's going on here?
I finally know...
the truth.
Last night's incident?
I've solved the mystery.
What's left now is how did the killer
got into baas's room.
There's nothing unusual.
Everybody went back to their room after that...
Good night everyone.
Well, I shall go to have some sleep now.
It's almost 2 o'clock now.
Good night.
Where should I put the cup?
I'll do it.
Thank you. Then I shall go now.
After I took the cups to the kitchen, I headed back to my room immediately.
You were in your room all the while?
No, well...
It was almost 3 when Kojo-san called.
He said he had something to tell me, and asked me to go to his room.
Then?
Then...
He asked if I can go out with him after I return to Tokyo.
What?
Don't tell me you...
Geez, Hajime-chan, of course I refused him.
I see.
It was pass 3 when I left Kojo-san's room.
Not long after that we discovered baas's dead body.
Miyuki returned to her room after 3.
It was impossible to get into baas's room
from the front door at the living hall,
or even from the inner door in the room.
If that's the case...
What's left now is the window.
But, the window in baas's room was locked from inside.
That's baas's room.
Hajime-chan, what are you doing?
I want to try to climb to baas's room.
I'm thinking I must have missed something out.
Wait a minute! Geez.
Once you start to think you'll start to be careless.
You'll catch a cold by going out like this.
You should at least put this on.
You made this?
I won't force you to wear it if you dislike it.
This is rayon. It'll definitely keep you warm.
Thanks.
The footprints are all gone.
This is...
What's this place?
Windmill hill?
Where is the detective?
His baggages are still here.
This is?
That's the inner door key that connect the rooms in first floor.
Why is the key here?
Hajime-chan...
Damn it, I'm getting colder.
The cable car is not in service at time like this.
The killer brought me here to kill me,
that means my reasoning is getting closer to the truth.
I can't! I can't sleep!
If I fall asleep, I'll be become frozen.
That's right. I was drowsy that time.
I felt drowsy like I'd taken hypnotic.
Hypnotic...
I see...
I've figured out the trick used by the killer.
The mystery is solved now.
Let's just wait and see.
I'll go back alive and uncover you!
Come on, think, Kindaichi.
How can you escape from here...
Windmill?
That's right! The windmill is used to generate power.
The windmill will become frozen in winter. So
the power supply is from the foot of mountain.
In summer, it'll generate power to startup the cable car.
If this windmill can turn...
Okay, I'll use this sweater...
I saw this from the TV.
The wool ball in the pocket is the easiest thing to get burn.
It starts to burn.
The sweater is made by rayon. And its ingredient is petroleum.
That's why it's easy to burn.
Move, please!
Hurry!
Move!
No way! Hajime-chan is the killer?
If he used the key to got into baas's room from his room,
that explains why Akira Kenji didn't see anyone walking into baas's room.
And now he has gone missing.
Nanase-kun.
Hey, where are you going?
Hajime-chan will never escape. Something must have happened to him.
I'm going to find him now.
Don't be reckless, Nanase-kun.
It's better to wait until tomorrow.
Hajime-chan?
It's just my illusion?
Thank goodness, you're back, Hajime-chan.
I'm back.
The mastermind.
I'll uncover the true you.
In the name of my grandpa.
Reika-chan?
You are...
Nope.
Anyway, please arrange the cards in your hand.
Now, I'm going to uncover the real killer,
who had controlled Hayami-san and designed this imitation killng plan.
I'll uncover mastermind behind this.
Is everyone ready?
Then, I'm going to turn the tarot card that decides your destiny.
Next time in Kindaichi Case File.
