Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

What?

It was your doppelganger?

Seriously?

So you didn't go to the concert hall that day.

N-No. Did we really look that similar?

Yes.

I was completed fooled when she stopped me at the entrance.

I wonder who she was.

Maybe it was Kaito Kid.

He must've come to steal my heart.

Yeah, right.

It was Vermouth.

But if she bothered to investigate,

the Black Organization must be interested

in the "ASACA RUM" cipher left by Haneda Koji

seventeen years ago, too.

I wonder what she was after, though.

It's kind of creepy.

Speaking of creepy, when I went out shopping for ingredients earlier,

I saw a strange duo going up to the detective agency.

A strange duo?

Were they dressed in black?

What? They were dressed like a normal couple.

The boyfriend's skin was dark like Amuro-san's though.

Dark?

Was it Makoto-san?

What's he doing with another woman?!

I-I wouldn't know, but they were talking about something strange.

Something about cleaning rags.

R-Rags?

Curtains rise as the headliner appears!

He beautifully dances his mystery-solving steps!

Rags dance in a terrifying case.

The forest where the nue's cry can be heard is a horrifying place.

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,

his name is Detective Conan!

Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend

"Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend, Roar Chapter!"

Mori Detective Agency

Not cleaning rags, rags to riches.

Really?

Rags to riches, huh?

I knew it was him.

The mayor of Yadori Village sent Heiji a letter asking him to help

unearth Tokugawa's buried treasure,

since he found a clue to its location.

We thought we'd invite your dad, too.

I'm not going.

Even if it's actually Tokugawa's buried treasure,

most of it will end up belonging to the state.

Really? Guess you're not going, then.

Since we have a few days off, you should take this kid with you, Ran.

But doesn't searching for buried treasure sound scary?

What? You should come with us, Ran-chan.

The mayor's covering all our travel expenses.

Besides, if Heiji got a letter, as the other high school detective,

Kudo-kun might've received one, too.

Sh-Shinichi got one?

You're right.

Come to think of it,

Kudo said he was interested in buried treasure before.

Maybe he'll be there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yeah, so you should come with us.

What do you think you're doing?

It's not like I can't since we have a few days off, but...

You're not interested in buried treasure either.

I didn't have a choice.

If she doesn't come, you can't come either.

You've got an ulterior motive, don't you?

There's nothing like that.

Anyway, Tokugawa's buried treasure is at Mt. Akagi in Gunma.

If there's another case, that useless inspector will show up.

Don't worry about that.

We're not going to Gunma, we're going to Shizuoka.

Shizuoka?

Thank you for coming, Hattori Heiji-sama.

And your friends, too.

I'm looking forward to unearthing this buried treasure.

Takekuma Densuke (58) Yadori Village Mayor

After all, the fate of Yadori Village depends on it.

But why did you write to Heiji-niichan?

There are other non-high school aged detectives.

Yes, well, I also invited historians and archaeologists,

so the budget was tight.

Forgive me, but I thought a high school detective would come

if I paid for his transportation and food.

Hey.

You'll pay for the bullet train I took to get here, right?

Of course.

Hey, you must be joking!

You really expect us to stay in this run down hotel?

It doesn't look like much, but it's sparkling clean on the inside.

I bought plenty of ingredients,

so I'll do my best to prepare a feast for you.

You're cooking for us?

There used to be droves of tourists who came to see Kurogane Lake.

The hotel prospered, but since the incident...

What incident?

What happened?

Oh, actually...

A member of the team unearthing Tokugawa's buried treasure

died in an accident while excavating.

Tanzawa Michiki (62) Archaeologist

Hey...

Do people really think there's buried treasure around here?

Yeah.

Shizuoka is where Tokugawa Ieyasu retired,

and Sunpu Castle once stood here.

And there's a legend.

During the war, when Ieyasu was nearly captured by Imagawa,

an old couple hid him here in Kurogane Forest.

After the country stabilized, he gave them a mountain of golden coins,

Someji Yasukatsu (55) Historian

to thank the couple and their son for their kindness.

Really?

Is it true?

Yes. There's even a poem about it.

"In the morning and evening sun,

two thousand jars glitter

with a thousand golden coins."

It's a nursery song that's been sung in this town for ages.

"In the morning and evening sun" is a phrase that appears in poems

on the location of the buried treasure from throughout the country.

Masuko Fumie (46) Author

But if there really are two thousand jars filled with a thousand gold coins,

it would be truly romantic.

That's two million gold coins.

It would be so wonderful if it were true.

No way.

You two cuties look like treasures

that glitter brighter than gold to me.

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

Oh, are they your girlfriends?

I asked you first!

Answer me!

I'm a documentary writer who travels across the country

Tsuruma Hajime (22) Documentary Writer

in search of local monster legends.

Mon...

Monsters?

What? That's got nothing to do with buried treasure.

What? You haven't heard?

This village actually...

Whoa, a dog!

Stop that!

I-I don't like dogs...

He's cute!

Yeah.

He was brought here by the member

of the excavation team who died in the accident.

After the accident, the locals took him in,

but since he kept escaping to come back here,

we've let him be.

The lake is just past the trees so it's a bit dangerous,

but someone's been feeding him occasionally.

Stay Out Danger!

That's a huge sign.

Conan-kun, it's dangerous. You can't go in there.

Is this everyone you invited here today?

Well, yes.

Shinichi's not here, then.

I was planning to give him my answer to what he said in London, too.

What you said over the phone had better be true.

The view is magnificent.

Better than the view of Big Ben in the evening?

Of course. It doesn't even compare.

You're sure, right?

I guarantee it.

Hey, Kazuha-chan.

Did Hattori-kun invite you here?

Yeah. He asked if I was busy over the break.

But now they're talking about cave-ins and monsters.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Actually...

What you're feeling might be love.

What?

I'm stuffed.

I couldn't eat another bite.

The stew was good.

Thanks, Mister Mayor.

You're welcome.

Now to finish it off,

we put rice in the bowl

and cover it with beaten eggs.

Then you mix it with your chopsticks, and the porridge is ready.

What? You're mixing it?

But the eggs are fluffier if you just cover it instead.

It all tastes like egg if you mix it. It's delicious that way.

Let's hear that monster story you started to tell us earlier.

Ah, that story?

There was a foreigner named Charles Abel on the excavation team

who spoke broken Japanese.

He's the one who got in the accident.

When the rest of the team arrived, he was still alive.

He was trying to say something from under the rocks,

so they asked him if he had found anything.

But the foreigner's throat had been destroyed, and he couldn't speak.
