Cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
Even if we are losing
because of our unparallel thoughts
But the feeling
is what stays long forever
What should we do to get to the finishing line
and yet hold victory
The moon shines over my scarred soul
Just because of you I want to
cover your future all the time
This is my prayer
for you to start from zero again
With you I will never give up
even for the slightest hope
On the true path of the most concrete present
to replace all fantasies
Reika-chan and her manager, Yasuoga-san from
the same management company have been kidnapped.
The kidnapper called himself Puppet Clown.
He demands for ransom money,
and insisted that I, the lower intelligence, to hand it out.
As instructed by him, I bring the money
and wait at the phone booth at Nakahara Station at 7 am.
{Reika's Kidnapping} - File#2
Before that, I want you to guess a riddle.
The next word for "close" is "people".
Then what is it between "middle" and "small"?
Don't tell me you are making joke at this moment.
Just how can I pass you the ransom money. Tell me quickly.
See you at the place behind the riddle five minutes later.
- Damn it.
What's up?
What is the meaning? What is the answer?
The next word for "close" is "people".
Could it be the word between "middle" and "small" is...
Nakahara Ginza.
Then...
Got it, there.
That is it.
Excuse me.
The kidnapper has changed the place to give one billion ransoms money.
Could it be... he has already knows we tell police.
How come?
If so, my husband and Reika-chan will...
Don't worry. Please look at this.
From the tracker which we put on Kindaichi,
we can clearly know his current location.
But...
Don't worry, Manami-san.
Sure Hajime-chan will be able to save them.
Sure.
Do I make it in time?
Customer, Kindaichi-sama, Kindaichi-sama.
You have a call at the counter.
I am.
Here is it.
Hello!
Next to thumb is forefinger.
Between middle finger and little finger is
ring finger, which is the healing finger.
That is this pharmacy.
Hey, such dumby riddle is too easy to you right?
Stop the crap. Tell me quickly how to give you the money.
Don't order me!
The controlling power is with me.
If you answer another word, I'll kill them.
Got it, what do you want me to do then?
Turn right on the road in front of you.
Head north for about 2km where there's a bus station.
Take the bus which goes to Miyasawa Kougen at 7:20am.
On bus, you must keep attention at the right side where the bus moves on.
It should be a scenic view.
You better be quick. If you miss it, there's none other buses.
Hey!
7:20am, so soon.
North... is is here?
Where is he been ordered to go again this round?
Is it this?
To Miyasawa Kougen.
Guess I make it in time. Huh?
Damn it! Why is it now?
Hey, stand here! It's very dangerous.
What... what is he trying to do?
Let me go. - I said NO is a NO.
If I can't catch the bus...
If I can't catch the bus, everything is doom.
What's it?
Fumi. - Did I just help you?
Why are you here?
Didn't I say it yesterday that I want to go too?
Oh... no! Hurry up. - Hey!
Fumi! - Dangerous!
Could... they be...
They are still alive.
We... we are safe.
Kindaichi!
I'm going to die sooner than supposed to be.
Are you alright, Fumi?
Bus driver, wait for me.
Let me get on.
Oh boy, I have heart attack you know.
Alas...
make it.
You are still here?
Of course.
If not because of me, you won't be able to catch the bus.
Yeah.
Inspector Kenmochi. - Yes?
The tracker on Kindaichi's suddenly lost its signal.
Seems to be broken. - What?
Oh boy, he broke the tracker while trying to avoid trains just now.
Damn it. I am police. Hurry up chase after the bus in front.
But the railing is not up yet. - What the heck.
Kindaichi, try your best.
You are the only person who can save both victims.
What are you looking at?
Puppet Clown, he wants me look at the right side where the bus is moving.
But... what exactly...
What exactly is he ploying?
That is...
Get of the bus now?
Damn it! So this is it.
Excuse me, please stop the bus. I need to get off now, sorry.
Huh? No way no way, I can't stop at places without stop sign. No way.
Please, I have a very urgent matter.
Hajime.
We have an emergency exit here.
No.
What are you both doing! Such a bastard, wanna die.
What we have at place like this, though?
Open your eyes big. - Huh?
Climb up the hill's route. There's a hanging bridge at Ootaki.
Must arrive before 8:30am.
One more hour left.
This route I guess.
I'll climb it up alone.
Stay here
Pass this note to Uncle Kenmochi who will reach here soon, understand?
No, I want to follow you.
I'm not going for fun.
I need help from them, Uncle Kenmochi.
Please, I treat you for a cake once thing ends.
Ok?
Then I want chocolate flavour.
Deal.
There must be cherry on the cake.
I want many strawberries inside the cake.
Fine, got it. Anyway, you have whatever you want.
Thanks, Fumi.
I want hamburger, too.
My legs are tired.
I can't go on.
3km more to reach the hanging bridge.
Before the decided time at 8:30am, I still have...
Can... Can I make it?
No way, I must make it.
Ouch! My legs...
No way.
I can't walk such a long 3km hill route.
Sorry... Reika.
I... I...
Kindaichi-kun.
Reika-chan.
Bastard.
If I give up easily now, what should they do?
If I don't go, Reika-chan will...
If walking is not working, I'll use my brain then.
What shall I do to reach the hanging bridge
before the decided time?
Don't forget, you are the grandson of the famous detective.
Stream?
Yes. Ok, just bet on it.
Kindaichi, you are so slow.
We who chase up from behind have reached here long before.
Could it be something happens to him? - Could it be...
Of course not.
Kindaichi will come here for sure no matter what.
For sure.
Uncle Kenmochi, look at the stream.
Stream?
Hajime. - Kin... Kindaichi...
Well, didn't expect the boy thought of floating here along the flow.
What is he doing, oh my.
Exactly 8:30am. Alas he made it.
I... I'm here.
Puppet Clown.
Come out now, I'm here.
Your money is with me.
Quickly set Reika-chan and him free.
Where are you?
Come out now, Puppet Clown.
Show yourself quickly.
Kindaichi.
Hajime-chan.
You are awake, Hajime-chan.
Here is... is...
Hospital.
After you fell off from the bridge, Uncle Kenmochi saved you.
If I follow you, such things will not happen.
You are totally a ruiner. - Oh yeah?
How about the deal with Puppet Clown?
Sadly, all the one billion yen ransom
has been floated away by the river's flow.
Now everyone in Kafuraki's company is
waiting for the kidnapper to call up again.
We can only do so now.
The kidnapper has said that
if we inform the police, he'll kill victims.
If Puppet Clown saw Uncle Kenmochi saved me...
Damn it, Reika-chan...
Damn it.
The sound is...
alarm signal at 12 o'clock.
Come out.
Reika-chan, are you Ok?
Yasuoga-san.
Today's deal has ended.
Deal?
So... did the deal go smooth?
So you mean you are going to set us free, right?
Nope, today's deal has failed.
What?
Some cops tracked to the location where the ransom should be given.
I have warn that if they inform cops, I'll kill victims.
Seems like the woman Kafuraki treats money more importantly than your lives.
You lie.
Impossible. Director is not such a person.
Nope, Director is such a person. - Even you Yasuoga-san also...
Long before I have seen her various disgusting ways of doing things.
So, I understand her well.
She wants to adopt you
just because she is reluctant to let you, the golden goose runs away.
I'm sure she figures that you are no longer worth, so she dumps you at once.
How... how come?
What a pity.
Initially I plan to set you both free without any harm.
What... what do you want to do?
You no longer have use to me.
If you hate, hate the Kafuraki who informs the cops.
Could it be...
Now... your turn.
Oh boy, what a torture to sit here and wait.
Yup. I want to get fresh air outside.
Hajime-chan, can you bear it? You haven't sleep since yesterday.
It's not the right time to sleep.
One day has passed since I fell off from bridge.
The kidnapper does not call up even once.
Could it be Reika-chan has...
I'm... sorry.
Don't worry.
If we think negatively, things are not going to end.
You can answer now.
Hello?
Hi, Kindaichi, you seem alright.
I thought something would happen to you yesterday.
No nonsense. How about the next deal?
What a waste, there's no next.
What?
I've killed both of them yesterday.
I even threw away the corpses.
One of them I threw into the forest,
the other is thrown nearby the bridge.
This is the punishment for not obeying me and inform police instead.
Now one has becomes meal for wild dogs in the forest,
while the other food for fish deep under the dark blocked water.
Have you traced the call source?
No.
What has happened? - Hajime-chan.
What's wrong? - He did it.
The kidnapper has killed both victims.
You are lying, it's impossible for my husband to have died.
No~
Just a while ago, we received news about idol artist, Reika Hayami
has involved in certain crime.
Now the management company of Reika-san is crowded with media.
Reika...
Now that things have ended worst. How do we answer the media outside?
I know, talk about it later. - Ah, yes.
Reika...
Manami-san.
They will not do such an evil thing if
we hand the ransom money to the kidnapper.
We make the wrong step this time.
Yes, it's your fault. You killed my husband.
Madam, please calm down. That is an accident.
What-the-slipping-of-woods. It is not a reason.
Don't be so loud. The journalists outside might hear it.
It's you... - Manami-san.
What if you take a rest inside. - It's your fault, you...
Give me back my husband.
Hajime-chan.
I'm sorry, Kindaichi.
The kidnapper must had saw me while I'm rescuing you.
It's not uncle's fault. It's my fault.
I shouldn't have step roughly on the rocking hanging bridge.
Then Reika-chan wouldn't...
It's my fault that Reika-chan...
Say no more.
Hajime-chan, you have try your best, give out your best effort.
You have done hard, causing yourself injuries all over the body.
So...
So, don't blame yourself. Please.
Miyuki.
Yes, you are right. I had almost give up.
I swear, before I confirm it myself, I will not give up saving Reika-chan.
Reika-chan must me still alive. - Hajime-chan.
Another thing.
I must catch myself the Puppet Clown,
even in the name of my grandpa.
Kindaichi, you are really awesome.
If so, don't keep sticking together.
The most important thing is to reinvestigate the case immediately.
Try your best, Kindaichi.
How is it, Kindaichi?
From the phone recording of the kidnapper, do you find any clue?
Yup, try to listen this part.
The other one is thrown down from nearby the bridge.
...becomes meal for wild dogs in the forest.
The other one becomes food for fish deep under the dark blocked water.
Nearby the bridge?
Is the hideout of kidnapper near the stream?
Nope, think this way.
Do we normally describe underneath water as dark blocked?
Stream indicates flowing, not blocking.
If this is the case,
Could it be the place of dumping corpse where he said is a lake?
Lake?
The photo he sent along with threatening letter clearly shows sunlight.
Which means it was the second day after Reika-chan was kidnapped.
That is a photo taken after sunrise on May 18th,
after around 5:30am.
Then, it was sent along with letter to the company around 8:30am.
So you mean, the hideout of kidnapper
is a place which is reachable within 3 hours from town,
as well as have bridge and lake?
Yup, the lake which meet all the criterias...
Inspector, got it.
The lake which meet requirements is Kawaguchi Lake at Yamanashi.
If it's Kawaguchi Lake, we can reach by highway within 3 hours.
The local police there is doing big thorough search now.
Don't worry, sure we'll find it.
Reika-chan must be still alive. Must be...
I killed both of them yesterday.
Reika-chan, you must keep alive. Keep alive.
Uncle.
Stop the car.
What are you doing?
What's up, Kindaichi?
Reika-chan.
Wake up, Reika-chan.
Reika-chan.
How dare Puppet Clown torment Reika-chan so badly?
I will not forgive you.
Anyway, is the kidnapping this time purely for the sake of money?
According to Itsuki-san's investigation,
there is something behind the complex
relationship of them who involve in this case.
Some other motives must be hidden in the case.
Uncle, the recording tape just now...
Puppet Clown, now I know your true identity.
