My name is Yamada Naoko.
My mother owns a calligraphy classroom.
I'm a super skilled famous magician.
I went with the chicken physicist Ueda, who wrote "Come on Over!"
to the Six Tombs Village.
This year, tragedy happened again.
Two women died after hearing the hand ball song.
Have a nice rest.
The extremely polite manager who has miserable history,
Hirazou, was attacked by the defeated warrior.
But the fake defeated worrior made a mistake.
He used a modern signal, an exclamation mark, in his threatening letter.
The criminal is one of us.
Either the politician, the strange villagers,
the hotel owner, the manager, the dog, or Ueda.
The trick, which was planned by one of us,
little by little, was gradually solved by me.
Looking for the murderers,
we had another important finding.
When Death visits us.
Our lives will end.
This song is a hint for the place of hidden treasure.
I discovered the key of this case. We set out
to find the treasure...
Wait! I mean, we set out to find the real murderer!
We went into the cave in Warashiga Pool.
Treasure...
Why is there a hole inside a cave?
Hey...
Hey... Hanazou-san!
It's Hirazou. Hirazou.
Hira...
How could he leave us like this?
You're the one that told him to leave!
But we might find the treasure.
If he was with us, we'd have to share with him.
You're really something.
Do you feel difficulty breathing?
Oxygen levels are low here.
Oh... This isn't good.
Ueda. Climb up, quick.
If you don't want to die, climb up now!
No...
You coward!
Gas is leaking out.
We have to wait for Hirazou to come back.
Calm down. Don't waste oxygen.
Why you...
Don't talk. Stop breathing.
Ueda-san...
Didn't I tell you not to talk?
Look there.
Treasure?
It's treasure!
What treasure?
A dead body?
This is probably the body of Kawashima-san.
No one found his body, right?
Impossible.
Didn't he fall from the cliff and get carried away by the river?
Why would he be in this cave?
That accident could have been a lie.
No way. The police wouldn't have been fooled so easily!
Maybe. But the one who was in charge of that case...
was Yabe.
Notebook.
Osawa-san's notebook. I want to take a look.
Here.
I KA KO SHI CHI TSU FU RA WA
I know what they mean.
Don't breathe.
If read backwards, it says "Under Warashiga Pool there is a body."
That's what it says.
Osawa-san left this behind in order to tell someone about it!
But why would he bother with such trivia?
Wouldn't it have been easier to just tell someone?
In other words, Osawa-san wanted someone special to find the body.
And that someone had to be clever enough to read this riddle.
That someone is me.
Isn't it a little late to figure it out now?
Don't breathe.
I feel sort of sleepy.
Because the air is thinner.
Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night.
All because of that defeated warrior.
That's right.
Didn't you black out?
Aren't those the coins Fujino-san gave you?
Yeah. Good luck coins.
If you keep the five coins together, they can expel evil and danger.
Yet if you lose one, something terrible will happen.
All because I lost one of them
we've ended up like this.
Please let me look at them.
Give me your hand.
1
2
3
4
5
Eh?
Sorry, I hid one of them.
Why?
Round and round.
Round and round? What are you, a little kid?
Don't be angry. Because of me,
now you have 5 Moroccon coins.
We'll be saved.
Damn... I can't think anymore...
I've never... never panicked like this.
You're acting normal to me.
But we do seem to have bad luck.
No treasure, but found a dead body.
Nothing good ever happens when I'm with you.
Please, it's you who dragged me into this village!
Calm down.
Talking consumes oxygen.
How can you be so selfish?
You've got to think, too.
Under this condition, how can we leave here alive?
But I bet your brain can't do it.
Hey. Don't fall asleep.
If you sleep, a huge spider will get you.
A black spider that has 50 legs
and two stinky mouths.
Hey!
There's no such thing.
You were listening?
Isn't there a telephone near here?
Of course not!
Telephone... telephone...
I got it! Why the cell phone rang the handball song,
I've figured everything out.
What?
Haven't you had that happen to you before?
A cell phone rang, and you thought it was yours.
But actually it was the person who was standing beside you.
No.
Oh yeah, it's because you don't even have a cell phone.
Get with the modern age!
Oh, that's right. Even if you got one, no one would call you.
And why wouldn't anyone call you? Because everyone hates you!
Keep going.
In other words, the music didn't come from the cell phone.
But from a tape played by someone who stood beside her.
Why? Why? I don't use this ringtone.
The one I use is Tagawa Yousuke's "Ruirui."
At that time we all felt scared.
And thought once we heard the song, the defeated warriors would come.
So...
But who did it?
Only one could.
I see.
It was Fujino-san.
That tape recorder was used to play the music.
Please be careful.
And be sure to lock the doors.
She played the tape of the recorded handball song from her handbag.
And dialed Kurisu's number with her cell phone.
Then she pretended to check her phone.
So everybody would think the music was the ringtone of a cell phone.
Then she told us it wasn't her phone.
Therefore, Kurisu-san would check hers.
Of course, Kurisu-san wouldn't know who called her.
Fujino-san probably had already set up the function to hide her number in advance.
But why did she do that?
Maybe she just wanted to scare Kurisu-san.
Do you remember when we found Kurisu-san's body?
Sensei... I'm so sorry...
I didn't know this would happen.
Sensei...
Kurisu-san didn't treat her very well.
It was probably just to get back at her a little.
Yet Kurisu-san really died.
We all felt it was because of the defeated warriors' curse.
Yet, then Fujino-san's cell phone rang with the tone of the handball song, too.
And then she died.
Where is the tape of the handball song now?
That's a good question.
And who did what to poison her?
It won't work. They will come.
There's no way to prevent it.
Why would Fujino-san say that?
Is it possible that she knew the defeated warriors would come?
Or was her expression of pain
just acting?
Acting?
Someone who knew her trick threatened her
and asked her to act if she was attacked.
Then, that person poisoned the water and had her drink it.
The criminal then secretly took that cup away.
Because one cup was missing.
1, 2, 3... 7
How many people were in that room?
In other words, the person who gave Fujino-san the water...
is the criminal.
And the criminal is...
Hey! Are you all right?
Still alive?
Tajima-san.
Wait a second. I'll throw down the rope.
Great! We're saved.
But how did Tajima-san know we were here?
Hirazou-san probably told him.
Why would he do that? I told him not to.
Hirazou-san has a big mouth.
A little bit more...
More...
Great. Thank you...
Huh? Where's Hirazou-san?
Hirazou?
Didn't you come because of him?
Yeah...
The most important thing is that I know who killed Fujino-san.
It's Kameoka-san.
Please call the police as soon as possible.
Huh?
Unless you're all in it together?
I'm here to deal with problems.
Interesting.
You said I killed Fujino Keiko?
Not just her.
The accident 5 years ago was also your work.
Inside the hole is Kawashima-san's body.
I've seen completely through everything you've done!
Which era are you from?
Don't talk so impolitely in front of Sensei!
"Omae" is polite. It has "O" in front of it.
What a glib lady.
Fine. Since you've found the body,
There's no use.
To let you die content, I shall tell you the whole story.
Five years ago, when we proposed to build an amusement park,
the police suspected we took bribes from the local dealers.
If this thing was brought to light, it would have been a big corruption scandal.
So we decided to let Kawashima be the scapegoat.
And had him take on all the guilt.
Then killed him
and pretended it was an accident.
Evidence? Where did you put it?
What you did will be uncovered.
Will be uncovered by someone who's here to find the treasure.
Remember...
I couldn't find the body.
Probably swept away by river.
Or maybe he was still alive and hiding somewhere.
Anyway, we didn't know.
Kawashima-san was still alive
and escaped here.
Maybe he just wanted to stay hidden here for a bit, but then couldn't get out.
Did you find the proof Kawashima-san left?
No.
He said the one who solves the riddle of the handball song
will find it.
The hint is the painting of the blood shedding defeated warrior.
Therefore, every year on January 11th.
People who want to find treasures will come to this village.
They made us cautious and anxious.
To make us live under pressure and pain.
That's Kawashima's real revenge.
So you killed people who got some ideas about it.
Yeah. Osawa, that died of a heart attack four years ago.
And this year, the detective novelist and her assistant.
I heard this inn
has a big secret.
A little more and I'll have solved it.
Then how about those who died of illnesses?
How did they just happen to die on that day?
Actually,
we schemed to let sick people stay at the inn on that day.
We recommended to their family that on life's last journey,
it's good to leave the world in a peaceful place.
This time, we invited you here
to let you prove the existence of the defeated warriors.
If a great scholar like you believed in this curse,
then no idiots would come to search for treasures from now on.
Sorry to interrupt you.
It's late now and I didn't see you come back. So I came to check.
You're a bad guy, too. Hirazou.
What?
Compared with you
we're like angel villains.
What?
Don't pretend anymore.
Yesterday morning, you threatened me on the phone, right?
About the corruption incident 5 years ago. (Corruption incident = oshoku jiken)
I did no such thing!
I just called to inform you of your honorable meal ticket!
I told you your meal ticket was taken by Tsuruyama-sama.
You lie!
Hirazou-san.
Can you repeat exactly what you've said on the phone?
What I said is
The dining place has been humbly changed...
And about the honorable meal tickets... (o-shokuji ken no koto wa...)
Your assistant took it in your place, correct? That's what I said.
Oshokuji ken... (Meal ticket)
O-shoku jiken... (Honorable corruption incident)
Your assistant took it in your place, correct?
You thought he was talking about the corruption scandal.
I can't believe this!
I do!
It's because your hearts are rotten,
that you made such a mistake.
Plead guilty!
Let's go to the police, ok?
Tell them the whole thing.
We're not finished yet.
There's one more bullet left.
Get down.
Now you have to disappear
with Kawashima's body.
Excuse me... can I have a moment?
Huh?
After you confessed, I'm really embarrassed to tell you...
But the body here is not Kawashima-san's.
What?
Those are women's clothes.
A woman's body?
Wait. I thought it was Kawashima's
so I told everything.
You didn't see through everything after all!
I'm sorry.
You can pretend you didn't hear anything just then.
How the hell could we do that?
Yet who is she?
Huh?
What is this?
Hirazou-san. This is Misako-san's body.
20 years ago, she left the village and walked in here.
Misako-san.
To run away from the villagers,
She hid in here.
But wasn't able to get out.
Impossible.
You're lying, right? Impossible.
This is the letter Misako-san wrote
to you when she thought she missed you.
You read it.
Dear Hirazou-san,
Why didn't you come?
Why do you care about wealth?
Or appearance? Those things are not important at all.
You always speak politely to comfort people around you.
Yet you cheat yourself.
What we don't have is not the ability to love,
but the courage to love.
When I asked you to touch me.
You wouldn't even lay a finger on me.
Will I leave here alive?
Once would be enough...
I just wanted you to hold me.
My body wanted to know your true feelings.
I really wanted to be hugged by you.
Misako.
My beautiful Misako!
Misako.
Why are you all here?
Hey! Yabe.
They're the criminals. Arrest them.
What?
Hey... What are you babbling about?
And where's the proof?
Don't be fooled by him. Yabe.
Five years ago, they killed Kawashima-san, too.
Right! Yabe-san.
Next time I'll invite you and your boss
to eat boar hot pot.
Boar hot pot?
My favorite. Please invite me.
Brother. I want to go, too. Okay.
Sensei does use cologne!.
No I don't...
Hey! Yabe.
Damn. We don't have any proof.
Misako.
Sorry to interrupt.
I found this in a trash can.
I don't know if someone lost it by accident.
Maybe you know whose is this?
Yabe. Yabe...
You... You...
This is the tape Fujino-san used to do the trick.
Then the criminal stole her tape
and used it to threaten Fujino-san.
That was you.
What are you talking about? I never touched that tape.
Everybody, hear what he said?
You're lying.
Kameoka-sama. Why would you do this?
Give it to me.
It's all over.
That's why I said you shouldn't have done it!
Tajima, you...
Let's just end this now.
Kameoka-san, I'm afraid I can't help you anymore.
What are you talking about?
Do you still remember? I picked out the card you chose.
It was this one.
It was the smell.
The smell of the amulet you got from Yamada Satomi-san,
is on that tape.
Because you bring it with you all the time, you probably don't smell it.
That smell will protect you from evil and bad luck.
Just bring it with you, and the smell will grow stronger and stronger.
Why? Why did this happen?
That old witch.
Didn't she say it would protect me from bad luck?
It was protecting you from succeeding in committing more evil acts!
It's all over.
Everything is over.
Over...
Hirazou-san. Thank you for everything.
I'm very sorry to let you have those bad experiences.
I'm really sorry about it.
Hirazou-san, that is...
I decided to throw it away.
I want to forget the curse completely.
Excuse me.
What?
"Receipts"
I see.
Five years ago, Kawashima-san hid this as proof of the corruption incident here.
It was behind the front desk this whole time,
Yet no one figured it out, since it was so obvious.
He really got us.
I'm humbly surprised! (O-bikkuri)
Shut up!
What is it? Tell me, quick!
When you leave here, you must turn right.
If you turn left, a disaster will befall you.
How could a fortune teller know about that?
I can see the future.
Ridiculous.
If you turn left, a disaster will befall you.
Nonsense.
So cold.
You will have romance and good fortune.
This week will be the best week of your life.
Last time the magazine said that I still didn't have any good luck.
Ouch!
What... Just some change?
What?
My god...
What are you doing?
Sorry...
I'm really sorry.
Not my day. Bad luck!
Huh?
"Third prize: Conveniently portable. 3 packets of pocket tissues."
"Second prize: One year's supply of toilet paper. Gentle on your bottom."
"First prize: One bagful of Echigo long grain rice"
Please turn it once.
This is...
Good fortune.
The first prize... Japanese long rice.
Enough for one year.
So heavy.
Yamada, what have you been doing in this cold weather?
Nothing.
Where did you get that heavy stuff?
Probably 60 kilos.
Looks pretty nice.
Ok. You can give it to me as the rent.
Take it upstairs.
Yes. Yes.
This is really good. A lot.
I love Japanese long rice.
What are you talking about? There isn't any rice inside.
These are the props I use for my magic.
You'll die if you eat it.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah!
Ouch!
Damn.
Ueda-san. What are you doing in my place?
And you have the keys to my place?
I entered a local raffle.
And won this prize.
Please sit down. This is my place!
Before me, a woman seemed to win the first prize.
Why are there such lucky people in this world?
Is that so?
I have a favor to ask of you.
I refuse.
I'm not a person who can be bribed with money or gifts.
Especially with something like this.
Listen to me. Do you believe in fortune-telling?
You see it often in magazines, right? Like romance or fortune.
I usually read many of them and believe in the best ones.
But it's never right.
But if you read the worst one, they usually come true, don't they?
Hmm? Now that you mention it...
What are you doing here?
I heard around this area
there's a 100 percent accurate fortune-teller.
100 percent accurate fortune-teller?
Yes.
Anyway, that fortune-teller tells fortune accurately.
If you don't listen to her, you'll come across accidents.
Like the stocks you held sell-off.
Anyway, misfortunes just happen.
And she can tell anything. Don't you feel strange?
So I wanted to investigate her for our good citizens.
Because it wasn't just one or two victims.
We police, of course, can't disregard it.
So, we went to that fortune-teller to ask her questions.
Yet she just kept saying "I can see the future."
All nonsense.
Then we sent out a policeman to test her.
If she told him to go right, then he would go left.
If she told him to go left, then he would go right.
We just tried to see if misfortunes would really happen.
So how about that policeman?
See!?
He purposely walked the opposite direction and fell into a hole.
Indeed a misfortune.
Miserable, right?
Can I have a sip?
Please.
Delicious!
What does this have to do with me?
I want you to go to that fortune-teller.
And don't do what the fortune-teller tells you.
I'll be observing you.
Why don't you go by yourself?
I need to observe the whole situation.
Isn't that a bit selfish of you?
Anyway, you can go home now.
Oh, really?
To tell you the truth, I just found a more interesting case.
You know that raffle box in the shopping district?
Those men were discussing it and I happened to hear what they said.
Even though they advertise 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes,
The only put winning balls for the second and third prizes inside.
The golden ball of the 1st prize is just a lie.
No one should be able to get it.
That's unforgivable, isn't it?
So why, before I entered the raffle,
was there a woman who won the Japanese long rice?
This is a spiritual phenomena.
How did a golden ball which did not exist suddenly appear?
Golden ball...
That's really strange, isn't it?
Right... golden balls just like these.
These are the kind of balls they put in the box.
If that woman made a golden ball to cheat them, it's a bloody crime!
And all just for some Japanese long grain rice!
Don't you think it's worth investigation?
The Case of the Golden Ball.
Now, say it with me. The Case of the Golden Ball.
That fortune-teller does sound suspicious. We should investigate her.
I'll go to see her.
I don't follow her instructions, correct?

Greetings.
Please show me your hand.
Yes.
What is it?
Why did you come here?
Because I heard you're often right.
So you want to find out for yourself if I am?
No...
You needn't hide things from me.
For I can see everything in your future.
A great misfortune lies ahead in your near future.
On your way home is a set of stone stairs.
Correct?
Yes.
Do not use those stone stairs.
Ishidan Shigari?
You can go by another route. Just don't use those stone stairs.
Or you'll lose something important.
What's that something you talk about?
You will soon find out.
However, you have no intention of following my instructions, correct?
Do not use those stone stairs.
Or you'll lose something important.
Ishidan Junichi?
So cold.
1 step. 2 steps. 3 steps.
4 steps.
This is ridiculous.
I did it.
Ueda. Did you see?
Where is he?
Ueda-san?
Ueda?
Down there?
Huh?
Ueda. I'm back.
Where did he go?
Hello. Is Ueda-san...
No... Is Professor Ueda there?
I see... has he contacted you at all?
I see.
So hot!
Hello?
What? It's you.
I don't know where Ueda-sensei is.
I see...
I can't believe him.
What's wrong?
Ueda-san asked me to see that fortune-teller.
The fortune-teller you asked him to investigate.
Uh-huh. What happened?
Nothing. Nothing happened.
She said if I didn't listen to her, I'd lose something important.
But I didn't lose anything.
That's a relief.
So hot!
But at the time I wanted to tell him. Ueda disappeared.
And he hasn't returned to his office at the university, either.
I called him several times.
That seems pretty odd for him.
I wonder if something happened.
Maybe she was right about your fortune.
Ah?
The important thing you'd lose. Probably was Professor Ueda.
What? Don't be ridiculous.
I'm not being ridiculous.
Now the professor disappeared. Aren't you worried about him?
I'm not worried about him.
I just want to figure this thing out.
Besides, Professor Ueda saved your life several times.
On the contrary,
if not for him,
I wouldn't have been in danger all the time.
Maybe he was kidnapped?
I said Professor Ueda
was kidnapped by the fortune-teller's party.
Why?
She wants to prove her predictions are 100 percent accurate.
Is there a such unreasonable fortune-teller?
There is.
If for some terrible plans.
So cold.
No one is here.
A sweet potato.
She has probably closed for the day.
Are you two going to her house now?
Who are you?
Are you one of the fortuneteller's party?
No. I'm just her fan.
I asked her to tell my fortune. And it came out pretty accurate.
So I want to go to her house.
These are tributes.
That, I just want to prove I'm here
so I put it there as a mark.
Tributes...
Sweet potato. It's wordplay.
You said you're going to her house?
Yeah. Only those who are chosen can be her guests.
To be her guest,
it seems she can tell you more about your future.
Too suspicious.
Isn't that the means that are used by those false religious groups?
No. It's not. She's real.
Have you brought the tributes?
Your shoes. Pretty stylish.
Sorry to make you wait.
It's really cold today.
Are you Yukio-san?
Yes. So cold.
Your gift is...
Sweet potatoes.
Yes.
Please.
Ok.
What about you?
We're his friends.
And your donation?
Please come along.
What's the meaning of getting blindfolded like this?
Thank you all for coming in such cold weather.
I'm the fortuneteller Suzuki Yoshiko-san's secretary.
My name is Shimizu.
Please be patient. Because we
don't want to let too many people know where Suzuki-san lives.
Why do we have this neck pillow?
Because it might be a little bit long trip.
This is our service to make you feel more comfortable to sleep.
Why can Suzuki Yoshiko see the future?
You all must feel very strange about it, right?
Actually, near Yoshiko-sama's house. There's a time gap.
A time gap?
It's a gap that you can go in freely to the past and the future.
In this world, past and future are in parallel rows.
This is said by Tanabe Machiko.
Excuse me.
Yoshiko-sama's house
because of the magnetic field, is on the interface of time and space.
So the gap can go through now and the future.
That's impossible.
This was proved by a great physicist who did careful research.
So you're saying if you go through that gap to the future,
you can see what will happen?
Yes.
However, there is a special way one must go through the time gap.
Only Yoshiko-sama knows it.
If you can make Yoshiko-sama happy,
then she'll tell you
what will happen in your future.
So how to make that Yoshiko-sama happy?
A lot of ways.
Some people live in Yoshiko-sama's house serve her wholehearted.
Some people donate.
Excuse me, can I ask a question?
If she can see the future,
why doesn't she just buy stocks to make money?
Why should she take donations or accept other's tributes?
Jesus!
Because then the future will be changed!
That's why we keep the place of the time gap as a secret.
We have to prevent someone like you who has evil thoughts.
To protect the future, of course.
Do you want one?
This is the local news from...
Next is the weather broadcast.
The weather forecast tonight. The snow
will continue till tomorrow morning.
Now in Tokyo...
Tokyo probably could have the biggest snow in thirty years.
Now we bring you the breaking news.
Japanese opera singer Minami-san, 72 years old,
today in the evening, was sent to the hospital because of heart disease.
Now his situation is still unstable...
So hot! What's wrong with this place?
It doesn't feel like winter at all.
It seems because of the magnetic field. (jiba)
Magnetic field?
You took us all the way to Chiba? (sounds like Jiba)
Eh?
So hot.
You...
Ueda-san? Hurry up.
One more game.
What's inside?
Nothing. It's sweet potatoes.
You're holding onto it like it's really important.
They're just sweet potatoes?
We are going to have a meeting in the hall for a reading of the future.
Please, everyone go there now.
Suzuki Yoshiko-sama, as a fortune-teller,
demonstrates her magical power almost everywhere.
You all gathered here because
you believe in her power.
Yet, I guess some people among you
still have doubts of her true abilities.
You'll think that it's just an coincidence,
or a trick that was prepared in advance.
Please be assured.
Now I'll let you see
the evidence that Suzuki Yoshiko-sama does have the power to foresee.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I'm Suzuki Yoshiko,
It is now 2:30 p.m. On January 18th.
I just come back from the time gap
from 7 days in the future.
The 7th day will be the day you are
watching this video.
You all know that yesterday was fine,
the sky had stars all over. However,
you also heard that Tokyo would have the biggest snow in 30 years.
Then Minami-san was sent to a hospital because of heart disease.
I guess many people are worried about him.
Hey. How did she know Minami-san was sent to a hospital?
By the way,
Among you, there are people here to test my power, right?
You, the ones glancing at each other.
Your fate is in my hands.
You will not be able to find your precious something.
See you later.
