The author, Agatha Christie
Off the coast of Hachijou Island
300 km south of Tokyo,
there's the island called Heitai Island off the Coast of Hachijou Island.
Bodies of 10 murder victims were found there yesterday.
Inspector of Crime Squad 1 Shokokuji Ryuya
Since the sea was running high at the time of the incident,
there was no line of communication to the mainland.
Lieutenant of Hachijou Island police station Tatara Banpei
Therefore, the island was a locked room.
Heitai Island...It's a weird name, isn't it?
Do you think that the word "Heitai" was made in Meiji era and used for naming that Island at that time?
But "Heitai" existed in Edo era and that Island has been called Heitai Island since around year 1830.
Wow, Inspector, you know that.
Since I had to go there, I searched about that Island.
E Shotarou, a big star of the beginning of Showa era bought whole Heitai Island,
and built a mansion for his lover Nanao Sumire.
60 years has passed since then.
And the new owner suddenly bought the Island and renovated a mansion to a retro hotel.
The new Owner, Nanao Akira was a mysterious rich man.
10 people who were invited by Nanao Akira were found dead.
There's a rumor that the owner Nanao Akira may be a grandchild of Nanao Sumire.
And E Bengo was in charge of the renovation and also acted on behalf of the owner.
He may be related to E Shotarou.
Is E Bengo who acts on behalf of the hotel owner the descendant of E Shotarou?
You mean this?
Ah, you know that too.
Since I had to go there, I searched about him.
Who is the real culprit who murdered 10 people?
And where has that murderer gone?
And then there were none Part 1
The story goes back 6 days before 10 dead bodies were found.
Day 1, January 15
I still remember World Swimming Championships 10 years ago.
Shiramine Ryo who won the gold medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter free style.
How can I forget this beautiful lady?!
Former swimmer Shiramine Ryo
It's an old story.
I was physically sick after that.
You're Gomyo Taku, who is a writer, aren't you?
A budding mystery writer Gomyo Taku
What? Do you know me?
I'm a fan of you.
I'm really honored.
I didn't expect that that famous Shiramine Ryo is my fan!
I am!
Look!
See?
I haven't finished reading this.
I have no idea who a murderer is.
If you could tell who a murderer is so easily, you'd be able to be a mystery writer too.
Former assembly member Monden Senmei
Actress Hoshizora Ayako
Give me that card.
I'll put it here.
Wow, well done!
I wish I could blind the opposition party like this.
But it's not so easy.
I always have a frowning face.
Butler of the hotel Midorikawa Shinobu
His wife Midorikawa Tsunemi
We're almost there.
Please follow me.
Are we there yet?
Almost there.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hotel Shizen-no-Shima
It's a nice place.
This hotel has good vibes.
This looks like a curtain in a rural hot-spring inn.
I think so too.
This is the owner's taste.
This is the precious dyeing curtain in Edo era.
Edo era?
Then it must be Toyama Kin-san (famous Magistrate) era.
Well, I'll take your cell phone and tablet now.
It's inconvenient.
I have to keep in touch with my production.
I'm afraid that it's the rule of this hotel.
It can't be helped.
It was written in the invitation card from the hotel that they'd take any modern conveniences.
Thank you.
Life without a cell phone makes me nervous.
Me too!
It'll be interesting.
We'll spend 5 days without a cell phone.
Madam, this is adventure.
I see. It may be fun.
When needed, we can send a telegram.
Sorry, Madam, since "Returning to nature" is the theme of this hotel,
we don't have any lines of communication.
Goodness...
The owner Nanao Akira is an activist of returning to nature.
So, all ingredients are grown organically.
Look! It's a mouse.
Not only mice but also you can see moles and other insects.
For the owner, moles and mice are his family members.
It's nice to hear that.
Look! It's a drone.
Wow!
No way! It's a modern amenity.
Is that acceptable?
Yes. Since we don't have TV and radio in this hotel,
the owner set a newspaper delivery once in 4 days to pin down what's going on in the public.
Once in 4 days?
It's a halfway measure.
All bedrooms are on the second floor.
All right.
Shall I carry?
I'm fine, thank you.
From the far left, Room 1,2,3, and 5...
And the far right, Room 6,7,8...
This is a linen room.
And Room 9 is over there.
As I thought, you don't have Room 4.
No, Madam.
Hoshizora Ayako-sama, please use Room 1.
Thank you.
Ah, please bring my belongings.
Yes, Madam.
Shiramine Ryo-sama, please use Room 6.
Yes. Thank you.
Which room should I use?
Gomyo Taku-sama, please use Room 8.
Since I'm old, please let me use the room close to the stairs.
I thought you'd say that.
Monden Senmei-sama, please use Room 5.
Thank you for your concern.
Mr. Congress, we're neighbors.
You're a funny mystery writer.
A bear?
A song about toy soldiers...
There're 10 toy soldiers.
A hasty one choked on the food and died.
It became 9 toy soldiers.
There're 9 toy soldiers.
A sleepyhead slept in and never woke up.
It became 8 toy soldiers.
There're 8 toy soldiers.
One tried to set sail and the ship capsized and he died.
It became 7 toy soldiers.
There're 7 toy soldiers.
One tried to chop firewood and chopped himself accidentally and died.
It became 6 toy soldiers.

A greedy hog had honey and was stung by a wasp and died.
It became 5 toy soldiers.

It became 2 toy soldiers.
There're 2 toy soldiers.
Mischievous one made a fire and burnt himself and died.
It became a toy soldier.
There's a toy soldier.
The last soldier hung himself.
And then there were none.
What a weird song...
Yes.
Ah, You have this song too.
Do you have this too, Sensei?
Come on! Don't call me Sensei.
Then, how should I call you?
Well...How about Taku-chan?
Taku-chan?
Anyway, this is a very weird song.
Ah, Sensei, do you need something?
Taku-chan.
Rest of 4 guests arrived at there in the afternoon.
Thank you for coming.
I'll take you to the room soon.
Please give us a minute.
Doctor Kounami Erika
Wow, do you fish?
I do.
The drift of the tide is very complicated here.
I have no idea what I can catch.
He hasn't said a word, has he?
Military commentator Ken Ishirugi
He is Iwamura Hyogo.
He was a famous stubborn judge.
A judge?
Yes.
Former judge Iwamura Hyogo
I'll take you to the room.
Iwamura Hyogo-sama, this is your Room 9.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
From the far left, there's Room 2.
Konami Erika-sama, it's your room.
The innermost 2 rooms are for ladies.
Do you count me among ladies?
Thank you for your kindness.
My pleasure.
And Ken Ishirugi-sama, please use Room 7.
And...
Ah, I'm Hashimoto Yoji.
Dinner is ready.
Where's the owner Nanao Akira?
He wishes all of you have a relaxing time tonight.
He'll come here tomorrow.
Everybody, since we've never met each other before,
I'll introduce us to you.
Those who came later, please do that to us too.
To begin with, Monden Senmei-sensei who is a former assembly member.
Don't call me sensei!
And, ah, I don't have to introduce her to you.
She is as famous as Nanao Sumire,
A big star Hoshizora Ayako-san!
What should I say...
I've been retired for a long time.
But since having lost my husband recently,
I'm thinking to come back to the show business.
You're still young!
You're the eternal madonna for us.
You're very kind.
Well, we mustn't forget about her.
She is Shiramine Ryo who is a gold medalist of World Swimming Championships 10 years ago.
I'm a tutor now.
I came here because I got an invitation card.
Thank you.
And I'm Gomyo Taku.
I'm a mystery writer.
But I was a boxer until 5 years ago.
I read all of your books.
Your unique eroticism...
I love it.
I'm honored to hear that.
Well, can you introduce yourselves to us?
Let me do that.
Let me start with a very famous former judge of the Tokyo District Court , Iwamura Hyogo-sensei.
I'm Iwamura Hyogo.
Nice to meet you.
And she is a doctor.
She is Konami Erika-sensei who is Chairperson of Surgery at Tokyo Central Emergency Medical Care Center.
I'm Konami.
If you don't feel good, let me know.
Sensei, don't say that! It's a bad luck!
And this is a famous military commentator, Ken Ishirugi-sensei.
So many senseis!
I'm Ishirugi, nice to meet you.
So, what kind of sensei are you?
I'm not sensei.
I ought to have said first,
I'm Hashimoto Yoji. I work for a construction company.
I'm just a businessman.
Excuse me.
Have I met you before?
Ah, you just have got the wrong person.
This kind of face must be very popular.
Look! It's very cute.
Wow!
Toy soldiers.
It's well-made.
This must be the special order item.
This is reinforced plastic.
This must be bulletproof glass.
What the hell?!
It's protected strictly.
Are these toy soldiers made by a famous artist?
Here's a sign.
He is a potter of famous living national treasure.
This must be very expensive.
Each toy soldier must worth of at least 500,000 yen.
Really?
Then, it'll be 5 million yen in 10 soldiers!
It's no wonder that the owner is very careful.
The current owner Nanao Akira ordered those soldiers,
based on the counting rhymes that the former owner E Shotarou made when he was drunk.
I see.
It's a drunken song.
It's a very luxury habit.
That's the worst habit.
Do you have this in your room?
Yes.
Excuse me.
We all introduced ourselves.
It's your turn.
Yes, sir.
I'm a butler of this hotel, Midorikawa Shinobu.
And I'm his wife, Tsunemi.
In fact, we were hired only a few days ago.
We haven't met the owner Nanao Akira yet.
What? Then, how did he do the interview?
E Bengo interviewed and made a contract with us.
Excuse us.
Anyway, it's a bit strange.
All of us including them never met the owner.
Well, all of you call the owner Nanao Akira, don't you?
Isn't it Nanao Shin?
I think that somebody told me that the name of the owner was Nanao Akira.
Then, I must have slipped of memory.
By the way, the name E Bengo...
It's a weird name, isn't it?
E Bengo...
I think so too.
Wait a second.
I got it!
This owner is very funny.
The owner Nanao Shin and E Bengo...
Nanashi No Gonbei=John Doe in English
Those names actually come from Nanashi No Gonbee.
They don't exist in this world. They're fictional characters.
Excuse me. Can you explain to me?
Listen.
I'm very good at this kind of thing since I'm a mystery writer.
This is a simple anagram.
Na,Na,Shi,No...
Na, Na, O,
Shi, N!
It's Nanao Shin.
If so...
May I borrow a pen?
Please.
Go,N,Be,E...
Be, N, Go.
What does this mean?
Nanashi No Gonbee,
Here's what I think.
The owner Nanao Shin is actually that butler and his wife.
And the story that they were interviewed by E Bengo was fake.
Does anybody want another cup of coffee?
Did we do anything wrong?
Midorikawa, may I ask something?
You're not the owner Nanao Shin, are you?
What?
Please be honest.
We think that you two are actually Nanao Shin and E Bengo.
Are you, Midorikawa?
No way!
We don't lie to you.
We met E Bengo once.
That's right.
We met E Bengo and...
Ladies and gentlemen,
What's going on?
I make an accusation to you.
It's as follows.
Doctor, Konami Erika.
What?
You killed a patient, Machida Shige 16 years ago.
Actress, Hoshizora Ayako.
You killed a housekeeper, Kasuga Nanako 8 years ago.
Former detective, Kumabe Kenkichi.
You killed a murderer, Kuromaru Jouji 11 years ago.
Former swimmer, Shiramine Ryo.
You killed a student, Hishii Sota 5 years ago.
Former fill buster, Ken Ishirugi.
You killed 5 soldiers in Bosgora, Eastern Europe 13 years ago.
Former assembly member, Monden Senmei.
You killed your wife's lover, Hasebe Keisuke 15 years ago.
Former boxer, Gomyo Taku.
You killed a businessman, Nishimura Junya 5 years ago.
Butler, Midorikawa Shinobu and Tsunemi.
You killed a former employer, Kobayakawa Akiko 10 years ago.
And former judge, Iwamura Hyogo.
You killed a defendant, Muto Shouzo 7 years ago.
That's not true.
10 defendants who should be punished,
Does anybody have an excuse?
Are you all right?!
Thank you.
Please bring water.
Certainly.
Take one.
Yes.
And take another one before sleeping.
Yes.
Hey.
You'll feel better soon.
Thank you.
Whose voice was that?
Where did that voice come from?
It seemed to come from the wall.
Oh my god...
We found this.
This is a manually powered phonograph.
Set a vinyl and put a needle,
Ladies and gentlemen...
Just like this.
I found a door at the back of a small room.
That door leads to the butlery.
Midorikawa, you did this, didn't you?
No. I was asked by E Bengo to play a vinyl after the dinner.
He told me that that was a classic music.
I see.
It says, "Song of the angel".
This is a prank that got out of hand!
This is disgusted.
The atmosphere is totally changed.
Why don't we have a drink for a change?
That's a good idea.
Nothing better than alcohol.
Let's move to a bar.
Well, why don't we discuss how we ended up coming to this hotel?
I got this invitation card from the owner Nanao.
I got exactly the same one.
Me too.
Of course, me too.
Hashimoto.
Yes?
How about you?
I've left it at home.
Hashimoto,
Yes?
Excuse me, but isn't Hashimoto a fictitious name?
What?
I see.
It says that I was invited to Hotel Shizen-no-Shima for my active career as a part of Back-to-Nature Movement.
Even if I do say so myself, we're all famous people in various circles.
That's right.
And it's odd that you're the only person who is just a businessman.
And that voice...
The voice didn't say Hashimoto Yoji.
Instead, it said Kumabe Kenkichi.
Kumabe Kenkichi!
Were you a detective of Crime Squad 1?
All right.
As you said, I'm a former detective of Crime Squad 1, Kumabe Kenkichi.
I retired and this is my current occupation.
Former detective Kumabe Kenkichi
Eagle Research Co. Kumabe Kenkichi
Why did you hide your identity?
That's the part of contract with E Bengo.
I got a reward from him too.
A reward for what?
He told me that 7 people would come to the island on a 5-day free tour.
He wanted me to monitor all of you.
Monitor us?
For what?
He told me that the jewels of his wife were targeted.
The robber is one of 7 people.
Nice to meet you, Detective.
Oh, please! I'm not a detective anymore.
So, what's going on?!
Is the owner of this hotel monitoring us?
We seem to receive the invitation card from a crazy man.
And I don't trust you yet, Kumabe.
I want to know whose voice that is and what he is talking about.
Let's examine one by one before becoming suspicious!
His story is nonsense.
We shouldn't care.
I agree. I can't forgive him.
It's malicious.
But he may have sent us the invitation card after having researched about us thoroughly.
I agree with Ishirugi.
We should make this kind of matter clear as soon as possible.
I think so too.
I don't feel good.
Let's talk!
Let me start.
I...
That voice said that I killed Muto Shouzo 7 years ago.
Sorry.
I met Muto Shouzo in the courtroom 11 years ago.
He killed an old woman.
At first, all of citizen judges were washed away by a defense counsel's fast-talk,
and going to plead not guilty.
But at last, he was found guilty of his crime.
I sentenced him to death.
His execution was settled and he was executed 7 years ago.
I just accomplished my duty.
I did nothing wrong!
I was a friend of a lawyer, Shinjo Takeshi who was in charge of that trial.
Contrary to popular belief, a defendant received a death sentence.
In other words, you think that that judgment is something wrong, don't you?
It's totally wrong!
Chief-justice Iwamura must have taken a lead over citizen judges.
He had a strong bias against a defendant from the beginning.
I strongly believe that Iwamura held grudges against a defendant from the beginning.
Iwamura, had you known that defendant for some time?
No, I hadn't.
If I knew him, I shouldn't have got involved in that trial at all.
Well, please listen to my story.
I was Hishii Sota's tutor.
He called me Ryo-chan sensei and we had a good relationship.
Sota had a weak constitution.
So, his parents asked me to teach how to swim to build strength.
That day, we went to a public pool.
He's been drowned before anybody noticed.
I was outside picking up his medicine.
He must have called for help.
But his voice could hardly be heard above the noise.
The police told me that they found no fault with me.
But that voice...
That's too much! I didn't kill him!
But his voice could hardly be heard above the noise.
The police told me that they found no fault with me.
But that voice...
That's too much! I didn't kill him!
Don't cry.
Everything that voice told isn't true.
The voice said that I killed my secretary, Hasebe.
No way!
He was my Chief Public Secretary and I treated him like a family member.
15 years ago, he traveled with me as a member of Eldobia Mission.
And there was a terrorist attack.
Hasebe was killed by a terrorist attack.
I have absolutely no connection with that.
And the voice abused my wife too.
That's not true.
My wife died of disease the year after his accident.
I keep her picture with me all the time.
She was much younger than I.
But she was the best wife for me.
About 5 soldiers...
When the civil war occurred in Bosgona, Eastern Europe 13 years ago,
I was taking command of them.
We were gradually driven into an unavoidable corner by the enemy.
50 to 60 enemies are attacking us!
Roger!
I was an only survivor.
The local media reported that I left them.
No way!
That voice must have believed every word that media said.
5 years ago...
A businessman whom I supposed to kill...
I was an amateur boxer at that time.
Come on!
What's going on?
What? Who the hell are you?
Get lost!
He was just a businessman who was picked fights with yakuza.
He was trying to protect his girlfriend.
It may sound apologetic,
but it seemed to me that he was harassing her.
So, what happened to a businessman?
Since having hit somewhere vital, he died.
Did you go to the police?
I was arrested at the scene of a crime.
How did the trial go?
Since I didn't intend to kill him,
and it was dark and I had poor visibility,
I was given a suspended sentence.
But even though an amateur, you were a boxer, right?
Because he didn't let go of her, I couldn't help punching him.
The judge said that I deserved some sympathy.
Well, shall I talk too?
Yes, go ahead.
The voice said that we killed a former employer, Kobayakawa Akiko.
Isn't it true?
It's a complete lie.
10 years ago, it was a stormy night.
We were taking care of her as usual.
But she took a sudden turn for the worse.
When the ambulance arrived, it was too late.
However, Midorikawa,
thanks to her death, didn't you get some money?
Kobayakawa was very pleased with our work and left us some estate.
Left us? What a convenient words!
Kumabe,
setting aside of questioning them,
how about yourself?
Do you mean Kuromaru Joji?
He was an evil man.
He was a murderer.
I remembered Kuromaru Joji!
I was in charge of that trial.
That's why you looked familiar.
You appeared as a witness for the defendant,
and gave evidence against him.
Hey! Why do you lie!
No talking!
As you see the defendant has such ferocity.
As a result, your testimony was decisive and the prosecutor sought the death sentence for him.
I sentenced him to life imprisonment.
He passed away in prison a year after.
Judge, is there any problems?
I was faithful to my duty and told the truth.
I don't say that there's a problem.
I just said that there was such an incident and I was in charge of that.
How about you, Doctor?
The voice said that you killed a patient.
That's not true.
16 years ago, a patient was rushed to Emergency Unit.
Machida...something.
She had Peritonitis.
Unfortunately, it was too late and nothing could be done.
The voice said that I killed her.
It's the unfounded accusation!
Ah, I'm the last one, right?
Kasuga Nanako was a housekeeper.
Yes?
Have a seat.
She was very pure and good girl.
One day, I found out that she was pregnant.
She didn't know who a father was.
Excuse me.
Nana?
I scolded her severely.
But she suddenly had a miscarriage and lost a baby
Poor her...
She was missing from a hospital and found dead in Tama River the day after.
But I didn't kill her.
So, everybody told the story, right?
But this invitation card and the voice...
The owner, Nanashi no Gonbee seems to be a psychopath.
We'd better get out of here as soon as possible.
I agree with you.
Me too.
We should leave here as soon as possible.
Excuse me...
But there's no boat.
What?
To make contact with the mainland, we only can use either AGATHA, a boat you took,
or drone that delivers newspaper once in 4 days.
Then, let's bring back a boat, shall we?
Midorikawa, may I have my cell phone?
I'm afraid that I can't give that to you.
That's the rule.
And we don't have any trouble yet.
Well, it's not a big issue.
It's the beginning of the mystery event that the owner Nanao Shin challenged us.
Let's have fun solving this mystery!
Cheers!
Hey, are you all right?
Hey!
What's wrong? Are you all right?
He is dead.
What?
I smell almond.
It must be Potassium Cyanide.
When was that mixed?
I drink the same thing.
Potassium Cyanide?
Everybody, don't move.
Only his glass has a funny smell.
But he was the only one who touched that glass.
No way!
Did Gomyo commit suicide?
No...
I can't believe.
He was fine until now.
It's possible that a person who is going to commit suicide becomes high just before that.
Well, why don't we move his body somewhere?
I want to cover his body with a sheet.
I 't take it anymore.
I'm going home.
Yes.
Give me my cell phone.
I'll call Superintendent General, Hiruma and have him come to pick me up by ship.
Me too. I should call my manager.
Give me my cell phone too.
Mine too!
Please calm down.
Midorikawa, this is an emergency situation.
You can't be obsessed by the owner's order.
That's right. One person is dead!
You have no right to reject our request.
I understood.
I'll open the safe on my own.
Hey!
What the hell?
Somebody took a battery out.
What?
Without a battery, we can't either make a call or send mail.
Midorikawa, what's going on?
Didn't you lock the safe?
I lock the safe!
And nobody knows the passcode.
Without a cell phone, we can't do anything...
In this small island...
It's very dark outside.
Let's drink more.
No thank you.
Anyway, we have to wait until morning comes.
Listen,
Why don't we have a rest tonight,
and talk more tomorrow?
I'm tired.
I want to go to sleep.
Me too.
Don't worry.
She'll be fine by tomorrow.
Thank you.
I was drunk.
But I did an operation.
I killed that patient.
But nobody should be able to find that out.
Nobody knew that I was drunk at that time.
I quit drinking since then.
I regret that from the bottom of the heart.
Sensei, this is the schedule from tomorrow.
Hasebe?
Dear, Hasebe Keisuke,
Since I won't be able to see you for a while, I write a letter.
I don't regret to have an affair with you.
I think that I love you from the beginning.
I can't forget the night when we spent together.
I can't forget the warmth of your body and the exciting feelings.
A lot of love and...
That was a letter from my wife to Hasebe.
Shiori mixed up 2 letters and gave me the one that was supposed to be for her lover.
My darling, Hasebe Keisuke.
From your Shiori.
How could I forgive them?
I've never thought that my wife had an affair with my secretary Hasebe.
Almost!
Good.
Can I swim there? Only one time!
Just a little bit!
Doesn't your mother tell you?
Since you have a weak heart, you can't do a hard exercise, right?
This isn't a hard exercise.
Ryo-chan sensei!
Can I swim there once?
Only once, all right?
The accident happened shortly after.
The judge must never judge people with preconceptions.
But I had the defendant whom I had a strong feeling of dislike in my life.
That's Muto Shouzo.
That man always stared at me.
He always gave me a cynical smile.
He treated me disparagingly.
I didn't know why but he always gave me cold eye.
Defendant, what's your name?
I deliver a sentence.
Defendant, I'll punish you by death.
I found him guilty of charges because I didn't like him.
I did that only once in my 30-year judge career.
I can't sorrow for that too much.
That's my only regret.
One soldier is missing...
2,4,6,...9...
There're 10 toy soldiers.
A hasty one choked on the food and died.
It became 9 toy soldiers.
Chocked on the food?
Just as this counting rhymes...
Day 2, January 16
Sensei!
Konami-sensei!
It's a butler, Midorikawa!
What's wrong?
My wife...
Did you give her something other than medicine I gave you?
No.
Other than medicine you gave me, I didn't give her anything.
Midorikawa, I haven't seen your wife.
Is she still sick?
Anyway, let's have a breakfast!
After a breakfast, I want to tell you something.
Was his wife dead?
What was the cause of her death?
What time?
When did you wife die?
All I know is that she died while sleeping.
She took medicine I gave her.
So, she must have been fine until 6 am this morning.
Forgive my rudeness, Sensei.
But was your medicine safe?
Her cause of death was Cyanogen-series poison.
Her skin turned purple.
And I smelled almond.
Potassium Cyanide again.
Was she killed by the same murderer?
Before discussing about that...
Midorikawa, where were you at 6 am this morning?
I was preparing for a breakfast.
Kumabe, even though you're former detective, what you said wasn't nice.
But it's no joke.
We've been here only a day and 2 people already died.
Yes, it's no joke.
Midorikawa, what time does a ship arrive at here?
It's already past 10 am.
Well, I'm not sure...
Calm down, Judge.
He just lost his wife.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Well,
Do you still have something to tell us?
Ah, it's not a big deal...
But it's weird.
I saw 9 soldiers last night.
But it became 8 soldiers!
Excuse me.
How could somebody open this glass case?
It's too heavy to move.
It's just as the second part of lyrics.
There're 9 toy soldiers.
A sleepyhead slept in and never woke up.
It became 8 toy soldiers.
Slept in?
It's just as the counting rhymes.
2 people died just as the counting rhymes,
and 2 toy soldiers are missing.
Hey, how about...
If there's a hiding place somewhere in this island,
and Nanao Shin or E Bengo is hiding there...
Do you want me to help you to look for them?
Then, I think that we should ask that ex-detective to come with us.
He can be counted on in an emergency.
There's no place to hide.
That means that a murderer who killed 2 people is among us.
I don't want to admit it, but it must be true.
By the way, Ishirugi, what's under your jacket?
It must be...
That's right.
Hey!
I know that it's illegal.
But it's in the term of contract.
I met E Bengo in person.
See Article 7, Paragraph 2.
You must bring a gun and real bullets with you.
"There's a vicious murderer among the guests in this tour. Please find out who it is"
That was the request from the owner Nanao Shin to me.
A vicious murderer?
An illegal possession of a gun is a big issue in an ordinary way.
But we're under an abnormal circumstance right now.
I'll close my eyes while we're in this island.
That's a detective!
Don't call me that.
Let's check the beach.
Does the ship seem to come soon?
I'm not waiting for the ship.
Then, what are you doing here?
I'm watching the sea.
Please leave me alone.
What's wrong with him?
I have no idea what he has in his mind.
Beware!
He is one of the suspects.
I don't want to think that one of us must be the murderer.
Since there's no hiding place in the island, it must be around that hotel.
Let's search it.
May I help you?
Ah, nothing.
Do you like the sea?
I was making a confession.
Confession?
What that voice said was true.
I left Hasebe to die.
Because he had an affair with my wife.
So, when we went to Eldobia as a member of Eldobia Mission,
I got the info that a terrorist group would attack a trading company.
So, I sent Hasebe to that company on purpose.
I want to stay here a little more.
Please leave me alone.
No luck.
I searched far and wide, but couldn't find a hidden room.
I couldn't find anything outside either.
In other words, we can draw only one conclusion.
A murderer is among us.
I don't think that the bell sound reaches to the beach.
I'll bring him here.
Oh my god!
Monden is falling on his back!
He was given a heavy blow on the head.
He must have died immediately.
This stick is the weapon.
There's blood on it.
He tried to fight back against the murderer but couldn't do anything.
Women can't do this.
The murderer must be a man.
He was killed in cold blood.
But he looks peaceful in death.
Is the murderer who killed 3 people really among us?
There're 8 toy soldiers.
One tried to set sail and the ship capsized and he died.
It became 7 toy soldiers.
Check toy soldiers...
There're 7 soldiers now!
I can't move this case.
How does the murderer move this case?
This must be done by Nanao Shin.
He kills us one by one.
But where is he?
We searched an island and a hotel thoroughly.
But there's no hiding places.
The murderer isn't outside.
The murderer Nanao Shin is among us.
Is the murderer among us?!
What do you think about the murderer?
How about you?
I think that a doctor is the murderer.
2 out of 3 people were killed with poison.
And even though she said that she searched a hotel thoroughly...
You're right. She searched outside by herself.
She pretended to search outside and went to the beach...
Since Monden was an old man, a woman could kill him.
Madam, are you looking for something?
I lost a yarn ball.
It's weird.
It's weird too.
The head of a fishing rod is missing.
Only the head?
Excuse me,
Does anybody know where a curtain is?
What? That blue curtain?
Yes.
What's going on?
Ayako's yarn ball, Doctor's rod head and a curtain...
Weird things are missing.
Does that something to do with the incident?
How can a murderer kill somebody with a yarn ball and a rod head?
Even though a dinner was made with canned food,
nobody complained about that.
I'm going to sleep.
Me too.
Hoshizora, I go with you.
Ah, don't forget to lock a door.
Yes.
And wedge a chair under a door knob as a prop.
I'm going to sleep too.
I'll go with you.
I'm going to sleep too.
Ah, don't forget to lock a door.
An abortion is done.
Thank you, doctor.
How could you do this to me?!
You lied to me. You said that we were going to an exam.
You're still young.
You have a lot of chance to have a baby after this.
How could you?
There was no way that baby would have a happy life since a father was a casual passerby man.
And you too wouldn't have a happy life!
I wanted to give a birth.
I wanted to give a birth!
Day 3, January 17
Detective!
Are you up, Detective?
Please don't call me detective.
It's been a while since I resigned as a detective.
Do you want to sleep more?
Everybody is already downstairs.
It's already 10:30 am?!
I didn't hear the breakfast bell.
The bell didn't ring this morning.
What?
A butler is missing.
Rain stopped but it's impetuous heaving waves.
A ship probably won't come here today either.
Did you go outside by yourself in this emergency situation?!
Do you realize how dangerous it is?
Because...
I'm sorry.
Keep in your mind,
your danger is our danger!
A butler went missing after having prepared our meal.
Look!
One tried to chop firewood and chopped himself accidentally and died.
It became 6 toy soldiers.
Chop firewood?
Back of a hotel!
Just as the counting rhymes, he is dead with lacerations of the scalp.
Excuse me.
I suddenly remembered that counting rhymes.
The next lyric is,
There're 6 toy soldiers.
A greedy hog had honey and was stung by a wasp and died.
It became 5 toy soldiers.
Is there any bee in this island?
I was thinking where I could find honey.
As I recall, I saw a honeycomb on the hill yesterday.
What?
Ah, there...
Bees.
If so, we shouldn't go to the hill.
Then, we won't be stung by bees.
And,
why don't we discuss once more time?
Let's gather at the living room in an hour.
I'll help you.
Are you all right?
Shall I give you medicine?
No thank you!
Thank you but no thank you.
Why don't you have a rest in your room?
She must still be sick.
Sick?
She said that she felt dizzy.
Ayako!
An injection scar...
An injection scar?
Look! It's a bee.
A honeycomb is glued here.
Who the hell did this?
Doctor, I examined your bag.
A syringe is missing.
Somebody stole it from my bag.
Don't touch my bag without my permission!
Do you suspect me?
Whether it's true or not, there're 5 people here.
And one of us is the murderer.
We have to save 4 innocent guests.
How can we do that?
Since we don't know who the murderer is,
how can we defend ourselves?
5 of us are going to examine our rooms together.
If finding anything dangerous, we'll confiscate it.
How's that?
I won't give up my gun.
Do you have a gun?!
He says that that's the part of the contract with Nanao Shin.
Where do you keep your gun?
It's in the safe in my room.
Then, let's start with your room, shall we?
There's no gun!
As I said...
Don't move!
He may have hidden a gun somewhere in this room.
Let's find it!
No gun in this room...
You! You hid a gun in the other room, didn't you?
Let's examine from Room 1.
What's this?
It's a heart medicine.
Since when?
From quite a while before.
Detective, you have a heart condition.
Don't call me that.
Shiramine, it's enough.
We won't be able to find a gun.
So, we examined all rooms on the second floor, right?
Let's move to the ground floor.
Power is out!
What?
A butler hadn't turned on a generator.
Where's the generator room?
I'll check right now.
Excuse me.
Ah, there're lamps.
But no flashlight...
Excuse me, but I'm going to my room.
What's wrong?!
Shiramine.
I'm scary.
Where's Judge?
I thought that he came with us.
It's not good.
Topknot and old ceremonial costume?
I smell gun smoke.
He must have hit by a gun.
Hit by a gun?
It's terrible.
A bullet penetrates deeply into his back.
We can't move him.
No luck.
A generator room is locked.
What's wrong?
Your gun killed Judge.
What?
Shiramine, are you all right?
Can you take care of Shiramine?
I'll carry her.
All right.
Who killed Judge?
4 days after Judge Iwamura died, the police finally landed in the island.
This is Heitai Island.
10 corpses were found in each place.
According to the guest book,
Room 1 was for Hoshizora Ayako.
Room 2 was for Konami Erika.
Room 3 was for Kumabe Kenkichi.
Room 5 was for Monden Senmei.
Room 6 was for Shiramine Ryo.
Room 7 was for Ken Ishirugi.
Room 8 was for Gomyo Taku.
Room 9 was for Iwamura Hyogo.
And Midorikawa Shinobu and his wife, Tsunemi were in the butler room.
But who was killed first and its order is unknown.
Who committed murder in sequence in the locked solitary island?
And what kind of trick did a murderer play?
Inspector Shokokuji Ryuya of Crime Squad 1 is going to try solving this mystery.
