The Files of Young Kindaichi (金田一少年の事件簿)

Creatures of the sea, the sirens.

Their wailing voices echo on this solitary Siren Island.

Those lured by their voices all lost their sanity

and attempted to escape the island.

If only had they known how useless their attempts were.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Come on.

Is the wailing a requiem that leads people to their death?

Or...

This is peaceful.

It sure is.

Kindaichi.

I heard you did terrible on the mock exam.

Nanase was worried about you.

Studying is easy. If I study a little, the test is nothing.

I caught something!

Here it comes.

It's bigger than I thought.

One fish, coming up.

Ouch.

So tell me, how do you prepare to study?

Go on. I'll help you prepare. Come on.

That hurts, Miyuki.

Ouch.

You two need to step it up.

You'll flunk out at this rate.

I'll be fine.

I'll visit the shrine next time.

-Kindaichi. -What?

Don't forget to offer money too.

Oh, true.

I need to start saving my allowance.

Hajime, come on!

You'll end up being a bum who can't contribute to society.

Let's sign you up for additional study sessions.

-Now, come. -Let's go.

Stop!

What?

If it isn't Hajime Kindaichi.

Mr. Kenmochi.

-Good to see you. -You're here too, Nanase.

I didn't know you liked to fish.

Yes. It's my first day off in a while.

I'm leaving on a fishing tour tomorrow,

so I wanted to get back into it.

SIREN ISLAND FISHING TOUR

-All-you-can-fish on a resort island? -Yes.

How nice!

Want to tag along, Kindaichi?

-Are you sure? -Of course.

Let me repay you for helping us solve the case the other day.

No, Hajime.

-Study sessions! -I'll come along!

I wish I were invited.

Do you want to join us, Saki?

-Is that all right? -Of course.

-Mr. Kenmochi, you're such a generous man! -Thank you.

Oh, right.

Would you like to join us too?

Don't worry about her, she has to study--

I'd be happy to oblige.

Hurry it up, Hajime.

It's only a three-night, four-day stay.

Why did you pack this much?

You better not be sneaking in study materials.

Hey, don't rummage through my things.

Don't you know girls need a lot of stuff?

-Now hurry. -If you say so.

Excuse me.

Your guide Nagai has caught a cold.

I'll be showing you around instead. I'm Natsumi Nagita.

-Great to meet you. -Thank you.

Yes. We're departing soon.

My draft won't disappoint you.

Siren Island's secrets...

REPORTER AKANE URYU

I'll uncover them, no matter what.

Hello.

I'm Izumaru with Todi Intec.

That's five guests with Todi Intec.

Doctor, let me load your bags into the ferry.

Come help, Wanise.

Fine.

The sun is blinding.

-Mind your feet. -And you.

Look who's here.

If it isn't Nagita.

TEIO UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT DOCTOR KAZEHIKO KAGEO

Strange to run into you here.

I'm the acting tour guide since Nagai fell ill.

Oh, so you are a tour guide now.

Suits you much better than scrubs.

TEIO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DOCTOR MIKA KANNO

Well, let's not let what happened in the past ruin our trip.

Let's just enjoy this trip.

Are they acquaintances of yours?

Oh, no...

Let's get going.

The sea bream I caught in Koga was supreme.

I've heard you can catch halfbeaks there.

That's right, you sure know a lot.

Halfbeaks are best grilled with some salt.

Oh, grilled halfbeak!

-That's right. -I love it!

Siren Island.

This place is only for those in the know.

During the bubble, a major construction company tried to build a resort here.

But when the bubble popped, they rescinded the plans.

No one has bought the island since.

Nowadays, a single resident runs a lodge there by herself.

How interesting.

What's that sound?

It sounds like a woman's voice.

That's the sirens' song.

The sirens?

Mythical creatures from Greek mythology.

They are sea monsters that are half fish, half woman.

They lure men with their beautiful singing voice...

and drag them into the sea.

The men then get devoured.

This island was formerly known as Shiki Island.

As soon as the war ended,

the Americans occupied this island.

The American soldiers stationed on this island

lost their sanity from hearing this strange sound.

Some even tried to escape the island by sea, and drowned to death.

The American soldiers then named the island

Siren Island.

To this day, no one knows where this sound comes from.

Interesting.

Police sirens get their name from those same mythological creatures.

Doesn't it stir you?

Creatures from Greek mythology, in Japan?

What a stretch.

Don't get hung up on it.

It's the sort of stuff you see at Disney Land.

Which ride?

You know, the one like this.

The sea creatures,

sirens, still dwell on this island.

I will be your host for the next three days.

I am Kirigoe.

Thank you for having us.

Welcome to Siren Island.

SIREN ISLAND MURDER CASE PART 1

Breakfast tomorrow is at 5:00 a.m.

The fishing boat leaves at 6:00 a.m.

Please be at the entrance ten minutes before then.

Okay.

Well then, I'll go get my gear ready.

Should we go too?

Okay.

-Thank you for the food. -I'll go back to the room.

-Good night. -Good night. Excuse me.

I hope the weather will be good tomorrow.

I think it will be fine.

-Hey Saki. -Yes?

Have you ever had grilled halfbeak?

No, never.

But I eat grilled fried noodles.

Oh, that's delicious too.

That was a joke.

Oh, didn't catch that.

There's such thing as grilled udon though.

Oh, how does that taste?

This ringing... Will it ever stop?

You're right. It's unsettling.

Oh, no. We have an early morning tomorrow.

I don't know if I can fall asleep.

Why don't you spend the night with us?

I can't spend the night with you guys!

Why not? We used to take naps together all the time.

You did?

That was in kindergarten!

Hajime, you're making it sound weird.

Hey now.

Dummy!

Why is she getting worked up?

I understand her.

Hajime, you are a dunce.

I brought all this for nothing.

SIREN ISLAND RESORT FISHING TOUR GUEST LIST

Yes?

Dr. Kageo? Why are you here so late?

Stop, don't touch me!

I can't believe I'm running into you here.

You planned this, didn't you?

Let go of me.

Please. Don't do this.

Don't you remember?

-The good old times. -You misunderstand.

I'm here for work.

Please return to your room.

I see you are as stubborn and unaccommodating as ever.

I'm stuck here for three nights. Seriously, what a pain.

I'm here with Dr. Kageo, but...

I couldn't care less about fishing.

Sorry.

I'm feeling sleepy.

Let's go out on a date again when I get back.

Good night.
