"Not that I doubt your word" "But his face..." "What are you saying?" "Are you implying someone is posing as Sukekiyo?" "No, that's not what I mean" "What does everyone else think?" "Should I proceed?" "No" " Umeko" " Yes?" "What do you think?" "At least have him remove the mask and let us see his face" "Naturally" "Take off your mask, Sukekiyo" "When he was in the army" "He was severely disfigured" "That's why he wears a mask" "We were detained because we had this mask custom-made in Tokyo" "Do it for these heartless people" "Remove your mask!" "That will do, Sukekiyo" "Mr. Furutachi" "Are you satisfied?" "I'm sure he's Sukekiyo" "You have my word as his mother" "Hurry and read the will" "I understand" "I shall begin" "The symbols of the entire Inugami estate" "The Axe, the Koto and Chrysanthemum are entailed, under the following conditions to Tamayo Nonomiya" "What?"

"In the event Tamayo" "Sukekiyo, Suketake and Suketomo are dead" "The entire Inugami estate will go to Sizuma Sesiyo" "In the event" "Sizuma Sesiyo cannot be located" "Or if his death is confirmed" "At the time all other successors are dead" "The entire business and estate will be handled by the Inugami Foundation" "This is a lie!" "A fake!" "Someone is trying to steal the estate" "This is not a fake" "I have verified it as a lawyer" "This cannot be real!" "The will is legally binding" "We must act accordingly" "What about us?" "We're his daughters!" "What kind of will is this?" "How dare you call yourself a lawyer?" "This girl with no blood relations cannot possibly inherit everything" "We waited so long for something so absurd!" "How can we face Tamayo?" "I can't believe this is happening!" "This is outrageous!" "Hey!" "Not only Tamayo" "Seisyo and her son got a big share too" "Shut up!" "Don't bring that up!" "We have absolutely nothing to do with them" "He left me out of the will!" "You're not the only one" "What about me?" "Don't get too excited!" "Can you calm down?" "We must stay calm" "If Suketake marries Tamayo" "We'll inherit everything" "I'm not reconciled to that" "Don't cry, Sayoko" "Takeko, according to Koukichi's calculations" "If Tamayo loses the inheritance" "Suketomo's share of the estate amounts to almost 550 million!" "Even though one fifth sounds absurd" "It's enough to buy you 5 or 6 high-rises on the busiest street in Kobe" "You're too naive" "Everything is likely to go to Tamayo" "I want to know" "Why is Sizuma Seisyo entitled to anything?" "Exactly!" "Mr. Furutachi is right" "The will is legally binding" "When Father was around 50" "That maid Seisyo bore him a bastard son" "I can't stand to let her inherit anything" "Don't mind Seisyo" "What about our mothers?" "That's right!" "If Sizuma is still alive" "How old is he?" "Same age as Sukekiyo" "We must curse Tamayo and Sizuma" "That's too dangerous" "I've been driving for 14 years" "No, I mean Miss Tamayo" "To the members of the Inugami family" "She's a thorn in their flesh" "As long as she's alive" "She decides who gets what" "You mean someone wants to kill her?" "Or the contrary" "Contrary?" "If she hates them all" "And is in love with someone else" "And she doesn't want to lose the inheritance" "Killing them is the only solution" "I heard she had several accidents" "Yesterday's boat incident was the 3rd one" "Yes" "The killer posing as the victim is a very common thing" "People in your line of work are always so suspicious?" "Human beings can't be so cold-blooded..." "No" "But someone has become just that" "Don't forget Mr. Wakabayahsi is murdered" "Mr. Furutachi" "Did Mr. Wakabayashi love anyone?" "Come to think of it" "He's secretly in love with Miss Tamayo" "Miss Tamayo?" "Before they go off to war" "People would come here and leave their hand prints and pray for good luck" "Why are we doing this?" "This can prove whether that stranger is Sukekiyo" "Different people have different hand prints" "I intend to check that man's print against this one" "Be our witness, Mr. Furutachi" "To confirm Sukekiyo's print" "That's why we invited you here" "You're saying you don't think that's Sukekiyo?" "Naturally" "But Madam Matsuko was so certain" "You don't understand her" "If Sukekiyo is dead" "She'll have nothing" "Did you think of this?" "No, the Head of the shrine did and contacted us" "How thoughtful!" "I had actually forgotten about this" "Someone else reminded me" "Sukekiyo left his print before his enlistment" "Who was that?" "Miss Tamayo" "Excuse me..." "Remember this watch?" "It was broken" "You fixed it for me" "It broke down again during the war" "Since you were the only who can fix it" "I have been waiting for you" "Can you help me?" "Who is it?" "It's open" "Do you have a room?" "Aunt Matsuko" "You object to Sukekiyo making a print?" "How many times must I tell you?" "Even if he's disfigured" "He is definitely Sukekiyo" "But..." "All the more reason to let him do it and put our minds to rest" "What do you think, Umeko?" "I agree" "If you refuse you'll arouse even more suspicion!" "Sukekiyo" "Your mother may object" "But this matters concerns you" "Will you do it?" "Sukekiyo is the most legitimate heir" "In the olden days" "He's the crown prince, your master" "Now you're treating him like a criminal" "I will never let him do something so ridiculous even if he wants to" "Let's go, Sukekiyo" "Hey!" "Don't run away!" "Please fill in your name and address" "Do it for me" "Me?" "I told you" "I can't do that" "All guests must do it themselves" "This is the law since the Tenpo days" "Or perhaps from further back" "The Tax department is very strict after the war" "I must go by the book" "Can't you do it for me?" "I can't write!" "If he refuses that means he's an impostor" "Don't scare me!" "It fell out when I opened the door" "You gave me such a scare!" "How is it possible he can't write?" "I left the log book with him" "He's weird" "Maybe there's a scar on his face" "He never took off the scarf" "Did he pay?" "That's suspicious!" "You going out?" "It's late, where are you going?" "Going out" "Come over at once" "Wakabayashi was right!" "Something happened!" "You can't go in!" "Mr. Kindaichi" "Mr. Furutachi, what happened?" "Please come this way" "Enzo made the chrysanthemum mannequins" "It was Master Sahei's hobby" "Enzo makes it every year" "It's from the puppet play" "The chrysanthemum field in the 3rd act" "Can you tell, Mr. Kindaichi?" "They resemble the family members" "That's a human head..." "Is that Suketake?" "Who discovered him?" "Enzo" "Calm down, Takeko" "Don't be like this, Mother" "Don't..." "I have to go see Suketake" " Don't be ridiculous!" " Mother!" "I want revenge!" "I want to kill the killer!" "No wonder Takeko has gone mad" "Why put the head here?" "That's a lot of work!" "The Police needs the living room" "This is so disturbing!" "Suketake met with such a brutal death" "Everyone is at a loss" "I forgot to tell you something" "What is it?" "The young man with the mask" "We can't confirm if he's Sukekiyo" "You mean comparing the prints?" "Suketake suggested it" "Matsuko was furious" "And they started arguing" "If that Sukekiyo is an impostor" "He's afraid Suketake will suspect him" "Am I right, Commissioner?" "The thought of it scares me" "I didn't want to bring it up" "But it's best you know about it" "Inoue!" "Thanks for your help!" "You may go" "A family feud!" "She's just a nag, nothing else" "The scene of the crime should be the terrace" "We assume the killer chopped off Suketake's head and threw the body into the lake" "We must retrieve the body" "That's easy for you to say" "Algae from the bottom of the lake are entangling like a woman's hair" "You won't find anything" "Oh, right..." "Mr. Furutachi" "Suketake and Wakabayashi's deaths are related to the will" "We must know its content" "Please hand it over as part of the evidence" "Alright?" "Forensics?" "How many are here?" "I found this on the floor" "You recognize this brooch?" "Yes" "Whose is it?" "I think it's Miss Tamayo's" "Miss Tamayo?" "Maybe she dropped it before last night?" "When we discussed the prints last night" "She was still wearing it" "I remember that clearly" " Madam Mastuko needs me?" " Yes" "About the prints" "She has agreed to let Sukekiyo do it" "We want you there as a witness" "She was against it yesterday!" "How strange!" "Everyone is here" "Sukekiyo will make a print" "You'll all be his witness" "Last time I found the idea absurd" "So I was dead set against it" "But Suketake has been murdered" "And people suspect" "Sukekiyo and I killed him" "Who would do such a thing?" "They may not speak it" "But the thought has crossed their minds" "That's why Sukekiyo volunteered to do this" "That will do, Madam Matsuko" "I'll pass it to the Police for verification" "Is this your brooch?" "Yes!" "Where did you find it?" "At the scene of the crime" "I..." "I asked you here" "Sorry I'm late" "You never asked for me" "I'm a bit surprised" "This watch has Sukekiyo's finger prints" "Compare this with the hand print" "I didn't expect you to help us" "I just want to clear things up as soon as possible" "I'm sorry to bother you" "But you can use the finger prints" "I'll get on it tomorrow" "You don't think that man is Sukekiyo?" "Good night" "Miss Tamayo" "Can we talk?" "There's nothing to talk about" "Among the 3 of us" "Who will you choose?" "I've always liked you" "Not because of the inheritance" "I haven't decided, goodbye!" " Miss Tamayo!" " Don't!" "You'll be mine..." "If you do that again, I'll kill you" "I was terrified" "Enzo escorted me from the terrace" "Is that it?" "Yes" "Did you call the Police?" "Yes" "The body was moved to Guanyin Cape in a boat that belongs to the family" "We found the tools used to cut off the head" "The boat bears the Inugami symbol" "Enzo is in charge of the boat house" "When he was questioned" "He didn't mention any missing boats" "This should be the key to the boat house" "He discovered the human head" "He was also the last one to see Suketake alive" "Tamayo's statement was ambiguous" "And there were no witnesses" "What's their relationship?" "The late Master Sahei brought him home 10 years ago" "He was enlisted in the war" "Nobody knows his background" "Master Sahei ordered him to guard Tamayo with his life" "This is what Enzo told the other servants" "If Tamayo asks him he'll kill for her" "Tamayo and Enzo..." "I get it" "They're the killers" " Follow them" " Yes" "Mr. Furutachi" "Any word on the hand prints?" "I'm still waiting" "There's something else, Commissioner" "Innkeeper" " Here?" " Yes" "When did the masked man leave?" "Around 5 o'clock" "Show me the guest log" " The log!" " Yes!" "What is this?" " Sanpei Yamada?" " Yes" "This handwriting is awful" "He didn't write it" " Did you?" " No" "My wife did" "Hello!" "What are you doing here?" "We must think alike" "The blood stained boat was abandoned at the Cape" "I came to check the neighborhood" "And I found this inn" "Sorry to interrupt" "Do you still need me?" " No" " Right!" "If there was a man in army uniform" "The investigation may take a different turn" "I thought the case was related to the will" "The killer must be from within the family" "Now it can be an outsider" "The veteran was at the inn between 8 to 10pm last night" "During that time the Inugami family was busy with the prints" "Looks like there are 2 masked men 2?" "Sorry to keep you waiting" "This is Mr. Fujisaki from Forensics" "We have the results" "Please begin, Mr. Fujisaki" "I'm here to disclose the results" "I'll omit the technical terms and get to the point" "These 2 prints are identical" "Therefore, this gentleman is without a doubt, Mr. Sukekiyo" "This is solid proof" "Did you hear that?" "Any more questions?" "I don't think so" "That is to say" "You acknowledge he's Sukekiyo" "Mr. Furutachi and this gentleman" "Thank you for your help" "This is rationed" "Thank you" "You like to smoke?" "Yes" "What about Madam Matsuko and Takeko?" "They all do, why?" "Nothing" "Something's wrong with Mother" "You're all tired" "We only keep vigil till midnight" "Please get some rest" "Let's go" "Sure" "A word with you, Miss Tamayo?" "Want some tea?" "I prefer something sweet" "Let's talk in my room" "No, we'll do it here" "What is it you wish to say?" "About my brother" "I heard he saw you before he was killed" "What did you talk about?" "I told the Police everything" "I don't care about my brother" "I don't want you to choose Suketomo" "Now there are only 2 candidates" "One has a face too ugly to look at" "Naturally I'm worried" "I'm pregnant" "Really?" "With Suketomo's child" "Listen to me" "If you choose Suketomo" "I'll hate you forever" "What is it?" "I saw someone" "He jumped from the balcony" "Maybe it's a thief" "What was that?" "It's Sukekiyo" " Is he dead?" " May I?" "Is he dead?" "No, he's unconscious" "Someone knocked him out" "The estimated time of death is between 11 pm and midnight" "The cause of death is a fatal wound into the chest from the back" "What about the murder weapon?" "Something sharp like scissors" "Scissors?" "The kind with a heavy handle like shears" "Only women use shears" "Find the owner" "The killer used the shears to kill" "And chopped off the head with an axe" "The killer must have prepared both weapons" "I think 2 people used different weapons" "There are 2 killers?" "Just an assumption" "By the way" "Did you find the watch on the body?" "No, although Tamayo said she gave it to Suketake" "It must be a lie" "A pretty girl like that won't lie" "People are either good or bad" "I thought we agreed" "You're not to come here again" "Yet you called" "I'm so sorry..." "The family has become the center of attention" "You must have heard" "Must be tough on you!" "Then you should leave me alone" "I heard Takeko and Umeko are still supporting their mothers" "That's their business" "Take this and leave" "I'll do as you say" "I'm afraid" "This is the last time we'll see each other" "Take care" ""Inugami family"" "Are you finished?" "Yes, it was delicious" "I made them myself" "What's the best?" "Raw eggs!" "That's too much!" " "The Sahei Inugami Story"" "After the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese wars as well as the World War I" "Inugami Pharmaceuticals had exceptional growth" "I want to know the secret" "Is it related to the case?" "Probably" "Mr. Furutachi" "The secret of "The Sahei Inugami Story"" "What's the secret?" "I'm not too sure" "I don't want to bring it up" "Do you want more victims?" "There'll be more killings?" "Hard to say" "But very likely" "Poppy?" "The foundation of Inugami Pharmaceuticals is this special root mixed with other drugs" "Sahei Inugami was familiar with poppy" "Perhaps that was before he came here and started the family" "He founded the company at age of 23" "He planted poppy at the beginning" "You should know" "You can extract drugs from poppy" "Like opium, morphine and heroin" "It's illegal to grow poppy" "Sahei Inugami used his connections and got permission to purchase huge quantities of these drugs" "For our military" "Inugami drugs were as effective as bombs and firearms on the battlefront" "That was most unfortunate" "Wars are brutal!" "There you are!" "I've been looking for you" "Something the matter?" "Kindaichi is here with the Commissioner" "It appears to be something important" "We're to meet in the living room" "Come!" "Really?" "Alright!" "Who is it?" "Speak up!" "Who's there?" "Help!" "Shears?" "Yes" "According to the servants" "You have borrowed Madam Takeko's shears" "Can I take a look?" "Yes..." "Well?" "I wanted to put flowers in Suketake's memorial hall" "But I couldn't find it" "It was there then?" "The day Suketake was killed" "What happened to the shears?" "We have confirmed" "A pair of shears killed Suketake" "You think I'm the killer?" "That's unforgivable!" "Please calm down, Madam Umeko" "The murder of the Inugami family is no longer a local matter" "But one of national interest" "So?" "We need your help in this investigation" "But I need your help with my life" "Mr. Enzo?" "Is this Enzo?" "Yes" "Miss Tamayo is now in the empty house inside the village" "She's unconscious" "Fetch her now!" "Don't tell anyone" "Go now!" "Haru!" "Oh!" "I've been waiting for you" "Are you hungry?" "Eat all you want" "Sorry to bother you" "I'm glad you know a college professor" "Did you see him?" "Yes" "What kind of poison is this?" "Using acetic acid to create an alkaloid compound" "Someone laced the cigarettes with poison" "to come up with special white crystals" "Special?" "Did the professor explain this?" "It's probably a plant extract" "He needs more time to get a detail analysis" "I see." "Please..." "Did he mention poppy?" "The main ingredient is morphine" "Yes, there are traces of it" "Really?" "Please..." "You're not eating?" "I don't have time" "Really?" "Bill please!" "You've been a great help!" "A professor of pharmacology among the regulars of Nasu Inn" "Does he go there often?" " Let me" " No" "I insist on paying" "That won't be necessary" "I'll get my fees" "I'm sorry" "Since last year" "I need to use the bathroom more often" "Really?" "Shall I start from the beginning?" "Please" "Well?" "How can she play with a death in the family?" "Where is Suketomo?" "He's late" "When you inhale the poison and the smoke" "It'll irritate the lungs" "And rupture the veins, resulting in instant death" "That's why the poison is not in the stomach but in the lungs" "Wakabayashi didn't die from food poison" "But from inhaling the poison" "You're working hard on the case" "Yes!" "You're on the wrong track" "No, this is the way to resolve the case" "Where have you been?" "Sukekiyo?" "I heard you have left the army" "Must be rough on you!" "Sorry I didn't send my regards" "I heard about what happened" "Don't be too sad" "Thank you" "Those rumors are awful" "The newspapers reports are out of line" "Blind people like me are spared from such troubles" "Perhaps I'm the lucky one" "It's 4 o'clock" "Wake up!" "Suketomo is not back yet!" "I'm worried" " Sayoko!" " Morning!" "Suketomo hasn't been back" "I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon" "We should call the Police" "I thought you hate the Police" "That's a separate matter" "He's not a mouse" "He can't possibly hide in here" "Calm down!" "Please don't cry, Aunt Umeko" "This is awful!" "Please perform the autopsy" "This is not the scene of the crime" "The body has been moved again?" "Look" "None of the tiles are broken" "Commissioner" "A string from a koto?" "He's strangled by a string?" "No, maybe just a camouflage" "First chrysanthemum, now koto" "What does that mean?" "I can't believe Suketomo is dead" "Hard to believe" "You were the last one to see Suketake alive" "And now this" "This is not good" "The Police will suspect you" "I want to make sure, Miss Tamayo" "Suketomo covered your nose on the boat" "You don't remember anything afterwards?" "I vaguely remember someone yelling" "Like they were arguing" "Was there someone else?" "Could that be the killer?" "Not necessarily" "It's your fault, Commissioner" "When you foolishly suspect I was the killer" "My dear Suketomo is being killed" "You have an obligation to me to catch this killer" "Must be Tamayo" "Don't jump to conclusions" "You can't interfere with the investigation" "You believe that girl?" "My Suketomo will never resort to using chloroform" "I know because I'm his Mother" "Tamayo is lying to protect herself" "But a girl can't move the body to the roof" "Then it must be Enzo" "Matsuko" "You must be relieved" "Suketake and Suketomo are dead" "Only Sukekiyo is left" "You'll get your wish" "Commissioner" "I heard there was a string on Suketomo's neck" "Is that true?" "But the actual weapon is something much thicker" "First is chrysanthemum, then koto" "Axe, chrysanthemum and koto" "What does that mean?" "Matsuko" "To avenge Suketake and Suketomo" "We must bring that up" "I can't stand it anymore" "Such an evil, horrible incident" "I must reveal the family scandal" "We all have different mothers" "Father was never legally married" "Our mothers- sole purpose was to satisfy Father's sexual desire" "When he was 52 or 53" "He had the audacity to impregnate the maid" "That girl Kikuno gave him a son" "And Father gave her the 3 family treasures" "An axe, koto and chrysanthemum" "That's absurd!" "That's unforgivable!" "We decided to teach Kikuno a lesson" "And retrieve the treasures" "We found Kikuno on a farm" "I curse you" "I will take revenge some day" "Kikuno was crying when she swore to take revenge" "Madam Takeko thinks this is related to the murders?" "They were merciless" "Never cross a woman" "Mr. Furutachi" "What became of Kikuno and her son?"

"Yes" "Axe, koto and chrysanthemum" "Axe, koto and chrysanthemum" "They were supposed to guard the shrine" "Now they have become a curse" "The axe is left" "You think there'll be another murder?"

"15 years" "Mr. Oyama" "To prevent further tragedies" "Please tell me everything you know including the smallest incidents about the Inugamis and the Nonomiyas" "Miss Tamayo is Mr. Inugami's granddaughter?" "From these chests in the Nasu Shrine warehouse" "There are old documents" "I didn't believe it at first about Miss Tamayo's secret identity" "I kept my mouth shut and never told anyone" " until now" " Yes" "I used to love old books" "And you?" "No..." "I was going through these chests" "And I found out the unusual relationship between Taiji Nonomiya and Master Sahei" "Even though Nonomiya was married" "He was unable to consummate the relationship with his wife" "So he was very fond of Master Sahei" "His virginal wife Haruyo eventually had an affair with Master Sahei" "When Nonomiya found out" "He gave them his blessing and encouraged them to be together" "Why would he do that?"

"You have no other choice" "I refuse" "What?" "Do you know what you're saying?" "If you refuse to marry Sukekiyo" "You'll lose your inheritance" "You don't care?" "Say something, Miss Tamayo" "Auntie, this man is not Sukekiyo" "Sukekiyo" "Mother" "I am Sukekiyo" "Alright?" "Where have you been?" "I've been looking for you" "I want to talk to you" "The warehouse is fine" "How can you not be my son?" "Tamayo is lying!"

"It's not important anymore" "Commissioner, can you get the dead man's hand print and finger prints?" "Finger prints?" "That's what Miss Tamayo said" "She did?" "The hand prints matched last time" "That's the problem" "Well?" "This is odd" "This is a totally different print" "He's not Sukekiyo?" "You can say that" "They swapped" "What?" "Using the mask" "The real Sukekiyo swapped with the impostor" "Whose body did we just find?" "Probably Sizuma" "Really?" "I get it!" "The veteran at the inn is the killer" "Sukekiyo" "Stay back!" "I'm the killer" "I killed Suketake, Suketomo and Sizuma" "Sukekiyo, I..." "I'm a wanted criminal, I probably won't get away" "I'm prepared" "Say no more!" "I intended to die in battle" "I didn't care" "But I wanted to see you" "Leave the family, Tamayo" "Forget everything and start a new life" "Understand?" "Mr. Kindaichi" "You didn't come back to the inn" "Yes" "Where are you going now?" "I'm going out!" "To work on the case?" "Let me come with you" "I want to go with you" "I'm in a hurry!" "See you later" "Are you following me?" "Long time no see" "No wonder you're upset" "It's my fault Miss Tamayo became a murder suspect" "But don't worry" "I'll disappear soon enough" "What are you doing?" "Sukekiyo" "I'm sorry to bother you" "I heard Sukekiyo showed up" ""My Confession"" "Sukekiyo Inugami" "Did he write this?" "Please take a look" "I don't want to turn this in to the Police" "I, Sukekiyo Inugami committed the recent murders" "This is my confession" "This is his way of saying goodbye" "I think so too" "Miss Tamayo" "You know the body in the lake is not Sukekiyo?" "I may make a mistake with anyone else but not Sukekiyo" "Let me keep this for now" "What happened, Enzo?" "Is it Sukekiyo?" "Did you write this?" "You threatened Sizuma to help you kill Suketake and Suketomo" "And you offered him a share of the estate" "Right?" "Yes" "You killed Sizuma because you can't agree on the terms?" "No" "You intended to kill Sizuma all along?" "Can't be!" "It was Sizuma who threatened you!" "Sukekiyo" "You can't possibly kill everyone" "In Wakabayashi's case" "He died on September 19th" "You came home on the 20th" "I didn't kill Wakabayashi" "I'm only responsible for the Inugami murders" "Did you hear that, Commissioner?" "Sukekiyo admitted he was the veteran who showed up at the inn in the middle of the night" "When you arrived at Hakata" "You read about the impostors from the papers" "With an intention to swap with him and pretending that nothing had happened" "You showed up at the inn in a mask" "You left the inn at 10pm that night" "Snuck inside the house to look for the impostor" "You were right" "Sizuma was the impostor" "But since Sizuma was disfigured" "You couldn't swap back" "Then Suketake showed up and you went into hiding" "When Miss Tamayo came" "Things happened the way she described it" "After she left with Enzo" "Suketake was murdered" "And you witnessed it" "You saw the killer?" "You mean this man is not the killer?" "You want to protect the killer" "So you wrote the confession and took action" "But paper can't hold fire" "Only if you tell us the truth can you save the killer" "Madam Matsuko is the killer, right?" "It's Kindaichi" "Come in" "Excuse me" "What do you want?" "Can you tell me whether the body in the lake is Sukekiyo?" "The Police called this morning" "Madam Matsuko, Sukekiyo is in custody" "Where is he?" "Sukekiyo is suspected of 3 murders" "That's absurd!" "Sukekiyo is not a killer" "That's right, he's not" "Because you are" "What proof do you have against me?" "You told Mr. Wakabayashi to read the will" "Me?" "Wakabayashi took your money" "But got scared after he read the will" "And came to me for help" "Shut up!" "So you silenced him" "Who do you think you are?" "What right do you have?" "You're not the Police" "I was in Hakata when Wakabayashi died" "I was perplexed by that too" "Killers often arrange for their own alibi" "To kill Mr. Wakabayashi at will" "You laced poison and went away" "If I knew about the will" "I wouldn't be so surprised when it was announced" "I went to see your Mother at Iwagi Village" "I wanted to know more about Master Sahei Inugami" "But I found out something else" "Your Mother saw you when you gave cigarettes to Mr. Wakabayashi" "You paid your Mother off" "When you went to Hakata" "She saw you at the Nasu station" "I have cut off relations with her" "She's no longer my mother" "Who'd believe her?" "After you killed Wakabayashi" "You went after Suketake" "You didn't know" "Sukekiyo was on the terrace that night" "Sukekiyo?" "He was with Sizuma" "Sukekiyo" "After you left, Sizuma promised Sukekiyo" "He wouldn't expose you as long as Sukekiyo followed his orders" "From then onwards" "Sukekiyo has reluctantly become Sizuma's slave" "I'm doing this to save your Mother" "A woman is too weak to chop off a human head" "When you saw Suketake's head on the mannequin" "You were probably more surprised than anyone else" "Even the killer doesn't know the accomplice" "But the accomplice took care of the bodies" "That's the most unusual thing about these murders" "You and your sisters were left out of the will" "In order to force Miss Tamayo to marry Sukekiyo" "You murdered these people" "But you didn't realize" "Miss Tamayo is Master Sahei's granddaughter" "Miss Tamayo's mother is the daughter of" "Master Sahei and Haruyo Nonomiya" "I have a feeling" "Maser Sahei is somehow using you to make his dream come true" "Tamayo is not the descendant of Nonomiya?" "Impossible..." "Let me see Sukekiyo" "Sukekiyo" "Sukekiyo" "Mother" "You're safe!" "It's wonderful!" "When your unit was wiped out in Burma" "I lost all hope to live" "I prayed to the Gods not to take you and let you live" "My prayers have been answered" "I didn't expect to see you again" "It has been 5 years" "I'll never forget that day in the rain when you joined the Matsumoto unit" "If you're alive" "Why didn't you come home?" "Because of my mistake my unit was wiped out" "I was too ashamed to come home" "I missed you so much in Hakata" "I made the most ridiculous mistake" "I mistook Sizuma for you" "You must forgive me" "A twist of fate" "A terrible twist of fate" "A recurring terrible twist of fate" "I can't believe Matsuko is the killer" "I don't believe it" "Please explain yourself, Commissioner" "I'm not over reacting" "But this is too absurd, too horrible" "I can barely speak!" "Calm down, Umeko" "How can I?" "Matsuko killed your son too!" "Madam Matsuko is most unfortunate" "Why must we suffer such horrible fates?" "Please calm down" "Under Mr. Kindaichi's persuasion" "Madam Matsuko calmed down when she saw Sukekiyo" "We should go see her" "It started out as a twist of fate" "But when they keep recurring and overlap" "To take advantage of it requires high intelligence" "The kind Sizuma was trained for in the army" "Because it's a must on the battlefront!" "Because of the hand print" "Sizuma was afraid he'll be exposed as an impostor" "So he ordered Sukekiyo to swap with him that night" "Sukekiyo stayed behind wearing the mask" "Sizuma put on the army uniform" "And disposed of the headless corpse" "He abandoned the boat at Guanyin Cape and returned to the inn in Sukekiyo's place" "When the print was made the next day" "Obviously they matched" "The night, they swapped again" "Before that day" "It did occur to me that man was not Sukekiyo" "But when the prints matched" "I was really happy" "Even for a split second" "I should never doubt my son" "When my koto teacher came that night" "Something happened and I lost myself again!" "Or perhaps someone was controlling me" "That's ruthless!" "My poor Suketomo" "Don't cry!" "After the fight" "Suketomo was exhausted" "That's cruel!" "He snuck back into the house" "Sukekiyo and Sizuma moved him to the roof?" "Yes" "Why did you call Enzo asking him to escort Miss Tamayo home but instead you came back here?" "I was worried about Tamayo" "What about the string?" "Sizuma said it's the curse of the 3 treasures" "After chrysanthemum, he must use the string" "According to the koto teacher" "When Madam Matsuko was playing" "The teacher said" "After playing for 4 or 5 years" "You can already hear chaos from the sound of the koto" "There was a death in the family" "Yet she still wanted her lesson" "That was the first questionable point" "At first, she played well" "But after the break" "I realized her index finger was wounded" "Yet she tried to hide it and finished the song in pain" "That was particularly strange" "I was determined to pose as Sukekiyo" "And take the entire estate" "Everything will be mine!" "Tamayo, the inheritance, everything" "I won" "I have beaten the Inugami family" "Did you leave Sizuma's body in the lake?" "Takeko" "Umeko" "Please forgive me" "I had no choice" "Father had us, but not out of love" "I hate him" "But I can't escape his legacy" "The night we kept vigil for Suketake" "Who snuck into Miss Tamayo's room?" "Sizuma" "Why?" "He found out about Miss Tamayo's plan" "And wanted to steal the watch" "But Suketake didn't have it on him" "I didn't know about the finger prints" "The watch fell out when his body hit the ground" "I picked it up" "When you killed Suketake and Suketomo" "Didn't you think of the consequences?" "All I wanted was to get them out of the way" "Whether I'll get caught or a death sentence" "I simply didn't care" "Will Sukekiyo be found guilty?" "Probably" "Regardless of his reasons" "He was an accomplice after the fact" "How heavy is his penalty?" "I don't know" "Death penalty?" "Unlikely." "The judge will use his discretion" "Miss Tamayo" "Will you wait for Sukekiyo?" "I will" "If he wants me to" "That's wonderful!" "You put a hole in Miss Tamayo's boat" "And read the will, right?" "Sukekiyo" "Free Tamayo from your grandfather's legacy" "Damn..." "She laced the cigarettes with the same poison that killed Wakabayashi" "Say goodbye to Mr. Kindaichi for me" "I'm going" "It's still early!" "$3,500 is your fee" "$427 is your allowance" "Thank you" " I'll count it" " Please!" "Thanks for your help, Mr. Kindaichi" "I'll give you a receipt" "That's not necessary" "I must" " May I borrow this?" " Please" "Here's some money" "It's a token of my appreciation" " I can't take that" " Don't say that!" " No!" " Please accept it!" "Such an incredible case!" "I doubt if the Police alone would have been able to crack this case" "Thanks for your help!" "If I knew about the crux of this case" "It wouldn't have claimed 5 lives" "I'm very sorry" "Please forgive me" "Really?" "That's such a shame" "The Commissioner and Miss Tamayo" "And the waitress wish to see you off" "I'll be there of course" "Oh no!" "I hate goodbyes!" "It's so distressing!" "When is the earlier train?" "How can you do this?" "Furutachi Law Offices" "Hello!" "I'll find out at the station" "Can you do anything?" "I'm off!" "Thanks for everything" "You're seeing M r." "Kindaichi off too?" "I'll never forget him" "Are you going out?" "Yes, to the train station" "Men from the Fire Department will be here soon" "Tell them to wait" "The train to Ueno is departing soon" "Passengers please board the train now" "THE END"
