Detective Conan (名探偵コナン)

Why don't you show me

Fukuhara Yuka (26) Head Priest's Daughter

Fukuhara Masako (53) Head Priest's Wife

this mysterious Buddha?

Okay.

It's in here.

It's the eleven-faced Kannon inside this shrine.

And you're saying it turns to the side

or turns around entirely without anyone touching it?

Yes.

That certainly is mysterious if it's true.

It's true.

And whenever it turns, something bad always happens afterwards.

I see.

In any case, I'll take a look.

Thank you.

Oh, no. What should we do?

Could something bad be happening again?

Curtains rise as the headliner appears!

He beautifully dances his mystery-solving steps!

A Buddha that turns around on its own causes a strange case.

Always determining the one truth

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

his name is Detective Conan!

The Mysterious Prophetic Buddha

"The Mysterious Prophetic Buddha!"

It looks like an ordinary Buddha.

You have nothing to worry about.

Even if something does happen, I'll be here this time.

I don't even want to see your face!

Get out!

Every day you go gallivanting around instead of working.

Fukuhara Eizen (23) Head Priest's Son

Fukuhara Eikyo (56) Hoto Temple Head Priest

And this time you've committed robbery!

It's pathetic!

I just borrowed it!

And it's just the easy money you collected from your parishioners!

Don't be so self-righteous!

If you just borrowed it, then give it back!

I just have to return it, right?

Well, I don't want to see your face either!

That fool...

I'm sorry you had to see that.

That's my father and brother.

He said he gallivants around every day.

My brother went to train at the head temple

so he could follow in our father's footsteps,

but he left after less than a month.

Since then he hasn't been going to school or working.

Instead he hangs out with a bad bunch.

Wakuda Junko (28) Trainee Monk

This is Junko-san who's training with us.

Junko-san, this is Detective Mori-sensei,

Ran-san, and Conan-kun.

They're visiting from Tokyo.

Hello.

I am Junko.

Thank you for coming.

Junko-san, when we looked earlier, Kannon-sama was turned around.

I hope nothing bad happens.

Indeed.

I hate to start before the head priest.

My father will eat by himself once he's finished praying.

Go right ahead.

Junko-san, you can cook?

It's part of my training.

Junko-san is a much better cook than I am.

He certainly is.

It's nothing to be proud of.

Oh, Dad. Dad, this is Detective Mori-sensei from Tokyo.

He's investigating the eleven-faced Kannon for us.

The Buddha is warning the living

that misfortune is coming.

It's nothing for a detective to involve himself in.

You should leave.

Yuka, Junko,

your wedding will be in September.

I need to perform my evening duties.

I'll join you.

That's all right.

You can discuss the wedding with Yuka.

Ran-chan and Conan-kun, eat up.

I'm sorry.

He's not a bad person, but he can be so stubborn.

This is excellent.

We received these from our parishioners.

Conan-kun, have some.

Thanks.

Ran-neechan, what about you?

I'll put on weight if I eat this late.

You are around that age.

I used to be like you, too.

Mom, you're not going to feed him?

We have guests today.

I'll feed him later.

Do you keep animals?

No, but you'll see if you come with me later.

I wonder what it is.

So, what's the bad news Kannon-sama has warned you about?

Last year someone who went foraging for wild vegetables was attacked by a bear.

Yes. They survived, though.

They said there was nothing for it to eat since there

was still snow on the ground when it woke up from hibernation.

Before that, just after a typhoon passed and we thought we were safe,

a house was crushed by a landslide.

Was the Buddha turned around both times?

I'll go put out your futons.

Dad, why don't you stop drinking and eat something?

Don't worry about it. You can watch TV.

Come to think of it, Dad's taking a long time.

Maybe he's praying extra hard

so the two of you will be happy.

Dad!

They said we could take a bath.

Are you going to take one?

Not tonight.

I told you not to drink so much.

The head priest is still praying.

This is embarrassing.

What was that?

Stay back!

Mister.

It hasn't been long since he was stabbed.

Just a few minutes.

Ran, call an ambulance and the police.

Got it!

No signs of a struggle.

Mister, look at this.

Looks like it was moved recently.

What's this cut?

Detective Hayashi (32) Yamanashi Police

Detective Shimokawa (48) Yamanashi Police

So you were all in the same room

after the head priest left to perform his duties?

Yes. We were all together until the eight o'clock bell sounded.

Someone must have broken in and killed him.

We had forensics examine the front door and windows,

but they didn't find any signs of a break-in.

I-I see.

Well, if someone entered the room,

it is unlikely that the priest would've quietly prayed until he was stabbed.

Huh?

There's something stuck to that golden chandelier thing.

Ow!

You're unbelievable.

How many times do I have to tell you not to interfere with a police investigation?

It's tape.

It was stuck to the inner left side of the canopy.

Who are you?

What are you guys doing at my house?

Identify yourself.

I live here.

Eizen!

What's wrong? Were we robbed?

Dad is... Dad is...

What's going on?

Your father has been murdered.

Eizen-san, where have you been until now?

I was with a friend.

Anyway, who are you?

Mori Kogoro. I'm a detective.

Could you tell us your friend's name?

Why should I tell you that?

Your father scolded you this afternoon.

He demanded you return the money, and after acknowledging that, you stormed out.

If you were unable to return the money,

you'd have motive to kill your father.

D-Don't be ridiculous!

I only borrowed 300 thousand yen!

I wouldn't murder someone over that paltry amount!
