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
Puppet Clown who kidnapped Reika-chan and her manager, Yasuoga-san,
killed Yasuoga-san, saying the failure of ransom delivery as excuse.
I don't think the kidnapping is merely for
the one billion yen ransom money, though.
Yes.
Behind the scene, the killer hides
other motives which he brilliantly plans.
{Reika's Kidnapping} - File#4
Puppet Clown... is in here.
The Puppet Clown is in here?
It's all bullshit.
If you recall well,
on the day of ransom delivery,
when you are talking on phone with killer at Nakahara Station,
all of us were waiting here.
Definitely we won't have a killer here.
Impossible indeed.
But...
what if there's another killer?
Another killer?
You mean accomplice?
The accomplice is the one who was kidnapped along with Reika-chan,
and later killed by Puppet Clown,
the manager Yasuoga Yasuyuki himself.
What are you saying?
Yasuyuki is the accomplice?
How come? I can't believe Yasuoga-san is the culprit.
Reika Hayami.
The voice of Puppet Clown.
Yup, by using a sound converter,
the other one can turn into Puppet Clown and call up here
when one of them couldn't make it on the spot.
Prepare one billion yen.
Which means, this is a fake kidnapping case planned together
by Yasuoga-san and Puppet Clown.
But, why would Yasuyuki do such stupid thing?
He wants to prevent you from becoming the adopted mother of Reika-chan.
What?
Yasuoga is your only family, Director Kafuraki.
He must have supposed that your title
and wealth will eventually inherit by him.
But when he knows that you plan to adopt
Reika-chan as daughter, he becomes very panic.
Since the failure of seizing company, Yasuoga
has always been treated as a worthless person.
If he simply voices out, most probably
he'll be drive out from Kafuraki Company.
So, he thinks of a way to prevent both of you from establishing relationship
without being suspected.
You mean via fake kidnapping this time?
Yup, I guess Yasuoga has expected that Director
Kafuraki will be reluctant to pay the ransom.
Probably he can even figured out
that director will prepare fake money.
He intends to accept the fake money purposely and shows it to Reika-chan.
He wants her to realize director is a cold-hearted scrooge.
Then, Reika-chan will reject to become her adopted daughter herself.
However, sudden situation happened.
Mitamura-san who accidentally knew about the kidnapping case
really prepared one billion yen ransom money.
So, Yasuoga changed their plan.
They planned to fail me during ransom delivery.
I see.
That's why he kept demanding absurd conditions.
Finally, the plan worked out. I fell off from the hanging bridge
and so the deal failed.
The killer informed Reika-chan about director informing the police.
He successfully shakes her trust in director.
All go well. Next he only needs to wait to be freed.
"Lf Reika knows about the fake money, then the adoption plan will also... "
But, just at that time,
something happened which is even out of Yasuoga's expectation.
What do you wanna do?
Both of you are no longer useful to me.
Don't tell me...
So, Yasuoga was betrayed by his accomplice.
I guess the accomplice has decided to kill Yasuoga from the beginning.
He misleads us into thinking
as though he was killed due to failure of deal.
In fact...
Yasuoga's death is caused by the accomplice here,
Puppet Clown who set up a trap to kill him.
But, hold on! When Yasuoga-san was killed
in villa in the afternoon on May 19th,
supposingly everybody here is in the office.
Yeah, then how did he able to kill Yasuoga who's in villa?
Besides, from here to Kawaguchi Lake
needs three hours a trip even through highway.
Everyone here absolutely impossible to kill Yasuyuki.
"Only up to here then. Even Kindaichi who looks awesome
is not able to expose my trick of alibi. "
I have also figure out the trick of alibi.
This is the time schedule of the case which
is created based on Reika-chan's statement.
I'm sorry, Reika-chan.
Please recall again the process of kidnapping.
On the night of May 17th,
I was attacked by kidnapper after I returned to apartment.
I was unconscious until early morning on 18th.
On the same evening, I tried to escape
but was found out by Puppet Clown.
Then I passed out.
On the next day, after I was awakened by the afternoon alarm,
Yasuoga-san was killed by Puppet Clown...
Then in the afternoon on the next day, May 20th,
the killer called up to say
he has killed both Reika-chan and Yasuoga-san.
During the evening, we found Reika-chan.
Of course everyone has alibi on the
day 19th when Yasuoga-san was killed.
However, what if the time schedule is incorrect?
What do you mean, Hajime-chan?
What if the period on the 18th evening whereby Reika-chan tried to escape,
then knocked off by the killer...
until awakened by afternoon alarm...
in fact has one more day addition?
So you mean, Kindaichi...
Reika-chan did not wake up on 19th when the ransom delivery took place...
instead in the afternoon on 20th, exactly one more after.
I guess the killer made Reika-chan who was unconcious to sniff ecstasy.
But Reika-chan said she woke up on 19th.
Yeah, but what if Reika-chan's memory has been distorted deliberately?
So you mean...
"The deal today has ended. "
I thought it was 19th because Puppet Clown said that
"the deal today has ended" huh.
Yup, this is the intention of the killer.
He misleads Reika-chan into thinking Yasuoga-san was killed on 19th.
Then, he makes Reika-chan a witness for him.
The killer himself stayed with the police and the rest on 19th.
It is how a perfect alibi is established.
So, while we are looking for Reika-chan...
Yup.
Probably only six hours from the time Yasuoga-san was killed.
How come?
And how did Reika-chan end up so pitifully?
It is a great work from the killer to make us think that
Reika-chan has been walking for a whole day.
When the gun's bullets almost finished
after he shot Yasuoga five times in a row,
he purposely missed the target in the last shot, and said no bullets left.
So he knocked off her.
Then he made her body all over in mud and bruise marks.
He acts as though she has been wondering in the forest for a day
before left her on the hill's roadside.
And so, the killer messed up Reika-chan's memory of time schedule...
and obtains strong alibi while Yasuoga-san was killed.
When Fumi discovered that mud on Reika-chan's shoes was cleaned off...
the markless on it can prove so.
It's all your credit.
But even if markless on shoes can prove
that Reika-chan did not walk in the forest,
it still can't prove the plot you said has been committed.
Yeah, there's no actual proof to prove the killer has set up alibi's trick.
Of course I have.
Uncle. - Here!
It's inside this electronic shaver.
You mean the proof is inside it?
What is your meaning?
Puppet Clown ordered Yasuoga to shave his moustache,
so he deliberately gave him the shaver.
Why does he do such an uncommon thing?
Oh yeah, now you say it, he's a mysophobia.
His action is unacceptable indeed.
Could it be the need of him shaving moustache
becomes a vital key to killer's trick?
Bingo. If Yasuoga doesn't shave,
it will make Reika-chan who woke up after a day on 20th
sees moustache root which has grown for two days.
Without shaving for two days, the thick moustache root
might cause Reika-chan to realize the unmatching time.
I see. That's why the killer prepares shaver.
In this trick, though,
as Puppet Clown needs to stay with everybody in the office on 19th,
so on the whole day, Yasuoga and the unconscious Reika-chan
were locked together in the villa.
Would Yasuoga really shave his moustache on that morning?
Yes.
Yasuoga who was locked alone in hut
skipped from shaving his moustache on the day when he wouldn't meet anyone.
So, what left is moustache root in two lengths, from one day and two days.
In turn, it explains the proof of alibi's trick
on the day which Reika-chan has no idea at all.
In fact, the killer himself doesn't realize at all.
Really, there's long and short moustache root.
But, we still can't prove we have the killer here based merely on this.
Yes, one of us maybe is killer,
but it's not surprising if it's other people too.
Based on theory just now,
indeed we can't figure out who's the killer.
So, we need a card.
The last winning card is...
here.
This recording tape tells me the real mask of Puppet Clown is here.
It is the next day after ransom delivery failed,
the part whereby Puppet Clown called to tell us he has killed hostages.
It is accidentally being recorded down.
"It's all your fault". During the conversation back then,
the killer unknowingly slipped his tongue.
"It is an accident...
You are saying accident?
The so-called shedding of boards on
hanging bridge is not an excuse at all.
Don't be so loud. The journalists outside might hear you.
It's you... - Manami-san.
Take a rest inside.
It's all your fault, you... "
I'm so sorry.
I'm too agitated back too.
I don't understand.
What clue from the conversation do we have to find the killer?
Of course we do.
Just now, someone tells the truth which is only known by the killer.
She is the killer in this kidnap and murder case,
or Puppet Clown.
That is...
the wife of Yasuoga Yasuyuki who was killed.
It's you, Yasuoga Manami! - What are you saying?
Manami-san?
She is the killer of Yasuoga-san?
Don't talk nonsense.
Why would I want to kill my husband?
You have tell us clearly in the recording tape just now.
"The so-called shedding of boards on
hanging bridge is not an excuse at all. "
What's the odd?
What if then?
Everyone knows that you fell off from a hanging bridge.
Then, let me ask you.
How do you know the reason I fell off from the bridge
is due to the shedding of boards on it?
That is...
I accidentally heard policemen said so.
He said that the boards suddenly loosed up while you are crossing the bridge.
You are digging your own grave by saying so.
The policemen would not say so.
Because the reason I fell off is not due to loosing up of boards,
instead it's because the ropes supporting
the bridge is weary and decaying.
It couldn't support my weight, thus broke off.
Forensic result shows behind the falling boards of bridge,
there is an evident mark of it being touched by someone before.
The strategy of the board
is a trap set up by you and Yasuoga
to make me failed the deal.
On 19th, the day of delivery,
you heard that I fell off from a bridge.
So you thought your strategy must have worked out.
That's why you unknowingly said about the falling boards.
You can deny no more.
Are you still want to pretend now?
Idiot.
I can't believe just because of such tiny mistake,
it creates flaw in my perfect crime artwork.
How come?
No matter moustache root, or boards,
in the end I still lost to the man.
Manami-san, why? Why did you kill your husband?
Killed my husband? Let me tell you
what did the evil bastard do to me.
Seven years ago, director's nephew, Yasuoga
kept pestering me who was still an idol
singer in Kafuraki Management Company.
But of course I ignored him.
Back then, I was fixed as heroine in a drama.
Just when success came after all kind of hardships...
"You... what do you want? "
I was raped by evilgoers. The incident was publicized widely by media.
Broadcasting company denied me from acting in the drama,
all my jobs were cancelled.
I suddenly fell into total desperation.
At that time, I was thinking to end my life.
Don't do anything stupid, Manami-chan.
Yasuoga.
You still have me.
You still have me by your side, right?
It is so easy to persuade a woman who falls into complete destruction.
So I agreed to Yasuoga's marriage proposal.
Yet, half year ago...
I have give you the reward seven years ago.
What's the big deal? I'm kinda short of money.
Some more, it's not quite pleasant to let her know
that you ordered us to rape your wife to win her favour.
I warn you, this is the last.
Got it.
The guy deliberately raped me first
and then hypocritically tricked me into marrying him.
He pretends as my benefactor all the while.
I will not forgive him.
Throughout the half year, I keep thinking
of a way to revenge on him.
Now I finally send him to hell myself.
Ugly, it's so ugly.
Such ugliness can only be end by death.
Everything have end.
Reika-chan rejects to be adopted daughter, Yasuoga has also died.
Initially I thought one day I'll succeed Kafuraki Management Company.
Manami-san! - Oh no, poison.
She wants to suicide.
Call the ambulance.
No... it's not...
I'm not suicide.
Who puts the poison?
It's him! It's the guy!
Manami-san.
Too late.
Puppet Clown, Yasuoga Manami ends the show by committing suicide.
Why are you still here? Get lost from this family now.
You hear me, I ask you to get lost now.
No, I don't want to leave the family.
So stubborn. I want you to get out, got it?
You have to understand my intention.
If anything happens to you,
I, the mother... I...
You must live on well even if left only you.
Queen mother.
Very good, Ok.
Great acting.
Mitamura-san.
Your acting today is satisfying.
I hope you can keep it on after this.
Your acting is so real, Mitamura-san.
Kindaichi-kun.
As if real mother and daughter.
Really, thanks for the praise.
I need to ask you something, Mitamura-san.
What?
Why are you willing to pay the one billion
yen ransom on behalf of Director Kafuraki?
And also treat us with onigiri.
Big artist, Mitamura-san purposedly brings her self-made onigiri
to visit hospital in Yamanashi.
So, I discover a thing.
It's up to you whatever you think.
But if media knows about it,
only lots of misery outcomes will await the idol girl.
You understand me, Kindaichi-kun.
Kindaichi-kun. - Reika-chan.
What are you talking about with Mitamura-san?
Nothing, Mitamura-san's acting is too awesome just now, so...
Really, famous artist is so different indeed.
Even I am affected by her unconsciously.
I really thought of her as my real mother.
Your real mother...
So glad, Reika-chan has regains her spirit.
I do feel very pity with Manami-san, though.
She doesn't have to end her own life.
I really can't figure out about this.
Can't figure out?
At that time, before Manami-san drank the poison red tea,
didn't she add sugar?
Don't you feel strange?
How could someone who has decided to
suicide thinks of adding sugar for flavour?
Probably Manami-san did not suicide at all.
What is the sound? - Look, Hajime.
It's written Kindaichi-sama.
To me?
This is the puppet of clown.
Hello?
Hi, Kindaichi-kun. Are you satisfied with my gift?
Who are you exactly?
I am Kobuchizawa from Kafuraki Company.
Kobuchizawa?
Besides, I have another name,
which is Puppet Master of Hell.
By then, you have to bring a bundle of roses as sign.
It must be dark red roses.
I see. So you insisted on me to deliver the ransom money.
You are the mastermind who teach Manami-san.
You are also the one who put poison in her tea, right?
The Puppet Clown is an useless puppet.
But, please don't get it wrong.
What?
Although you solve my plot, it doesn't mean you have win.
My crime plan is flawlessly perfect.
If not for the mistake by the useless puppet,
and thus give you a help...
Stop mocking me! What is the connection of it and win?!
Where are you hiding at exactly?
Hiding?
Who are you said hiding?
Express train will pass through Terminal 3.
For safety reason, passengers are asked to stand behind white line.
Puppet Master of Hell.
Takatou Youichi.
I find pleasure by cheating people.
While you expose plot set up by others as mission.
One day, we'll meet again.
Good luck to you, famous detective.
Damn it!
Hajime-chan.
I will not let you go free.
He uses hatred of human
to control them like a puppet.
He makes others to act in the crime
show he prepares, and enjoys it secretly.
I will catch you myself, Puppet Master of Hell!
Even in the name of my grandpa!
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
