Title: File 728 Air on the G String

02

Genta: This is bad!!
Genta: The murderer is still here!?

Mitsuhiko: We...
Mitsuhiko: We need to get out of here!!

Ayumi: B-but...
Ayumi: we have to save that boy!!

Conan: Hey!!
Conan: Don't leave my side!!

Right margin: The situation seems tense, but what's going on!?

03

Ai: That's right...
Ai: If we split up, we're done for...
Ai: You don't want to end up like that boy, do you?

Text above house: Waaaaah!!

04

Box: Three hours previously...
Man: Sir...This isn't good!
Man: You had an oil leak, and you burned out your engine...

Man: We have to take it to the repair shop and fix it before it's going to move again...
Man: We'll take it there in the tow truck.
Agasa: H-hey...

Agasa: Are you just going to leave us here?
Man: Hmm, you're right...
Man: You could get to the city using public transportation...

Man: except it doesn't look like any buses or taxis are going to be passing through this place in the middle of the mountains....
Genta: So we have to walk down the mountain?
Ayumi: Ehhh!?
Mitsuhiko: That's a long way!

Ai: Couldn't we ride in your truck?
Man: No, we could take one person, but not all of you...
Conan: Then, why don't you go professor?

Conan: You can get them to take you to the city and then you can just rent a rental car. It should only be about an hour round trip.
Agasa: Oh, that's right!
Agasa: You all just wait here!

05

Conan: Well...
Conan: It's been an hour and a half since he left...

Conan: He's taking a long time...
Ayumi: Maybe he got lost...
Mitsuhiko: It wouldn't surprise me!
Genta: I'm starving...

Ai: And all we came here for was to dig up some bamboo shoots...
SFX: Beep
Ayumi: Well, we did get a lot!
Genta: And we were supposed to get a bamboo shoots dinner at the professor's place tonight!

SFX: Drip
Ayumi: Ah!

Ayumi: Rain...
Genta: Seriously!?
Mitsuhiko: We don't have an umbrella!

Conan: Come to think of it...We passed by a villa area in the car. Let's go see if we can get out of the rain there!

06

Genta: Hey, Conan...
Genta: It doesn't look like anyone's here!

Conan: Well, it is the off season...
Ayumi: It's gotten dark...
Mitsuhiko: Let's at least get under the overhang of a roof.

Conan: Well? Can you still not contact the professor?
Ai: No...
Ai: I've been trying for a while but it seems his phone is off.

SFX: Rinng
SFX: Rinng

Conan: Hm?
Conan: The professor's home phone...?

Conan: Hey, what are you doing, professor!?
Agasa: Sorry, sorry.
Agasa: I forgot that, because I didn't want to drop them while we were digging up bamboo shoots, I put my wallet and cell phone in Ai-kun's day pack!

07

Agasa: I ended up going all the way home, which ate up a bunch of time.
Agasa: I'm about to head out in the rental car, but it'll take me about 2 hours. Please be patient!

Conan: ...is what he said!
Mitsuhiko: Eh? We have to wait another 2 hours!?
Ayumi: No way!!

Genta: Geez. And the rain just started coming down even harder!
Ai: Just bear with it!
Ai: Losing your temper isn't going to fill your stomach.

Ayumi: I can...
Ayumi: hear music.
Mitsuhiko: It's a piano...

08

Ayumi: It's coming from that house.

Genta: This song sounds familiar.
Mitsuhiko: They often play it during graduation ceremonies on dramas and things like that...
Ayumi: Do you know what it is, Conan-kun?

Conan: No, I don't know much about music...
Ai: It's by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Ai: It's the 2nd movement of his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major.

Ai: Commonly known as...
Ai: the Air on the G String.

Mitsuhiko: Ah! I've heard that name before.
Ai: Whoever that is is playing on the level of a pro.

Conan: Well, let's see if we can get out of the rain in their house!
Ayumi: Yeah!
Genta: I wonder if they'll make us a bamboo shoots dinner.
Mitsuhiko: I really doubt it.

09

SFX: Ding dong

Genta: Oh!
Ayumi: The piano music stopped.
Mitsuhiko: Hopefully it's a nice person!

Conan: They're not coming...
Ai: They aren't answering through the intercom either.
Mitsuhiko: Odd...
SFX: Ding dong
SFX: Ding dong

Genta: Hm?

Genta: It's...
Genta: not locked.

10

Mitsuhiko: E-excuse meee!
Mitsuhiko: We'd like to take shelter from the rain!!

Ayumi: I-it's completely dark...
Mitsuhiko: Why don't they have the lights on?

SFX: Crunch

Genta: Wah! I stepped on something!!
Mitsuhiko: Ehh!?

SFX: Click

Genta: A...
Genta: A potato chip?

Genta: They're scattered all over the hallway...
Ai: It looks like there was a misbehaving child here...

Ayumi: Hey, c'mere, c'mere!
Genta: Hm?

11

Ayumi: I found the piano!
Genta: Ohh!

Mitsuhiko: But if they were playing this piano, why didn't they come out to meet us?
Ai: They weren't necessarily playing the piano.
Ai: There's some audio equipment over here.

Ai: It could have just been a CD. It was a really good performance.
Conan: No, it was definitely this piano.
Conan: The song was slightly out of tune in the exact same way this is.
SFX: Pin

Ai: As usual, you have amazingly good ears for someone tone deaf.
Conan: Just leave me alone...

Ayumi: How about I play something! I know how to play the Flea Waltz!
Conan: Stop. You'll make them mad!

Conan: What's more important is finding the owner of the house.
SFX: Clatter

12

Mitsuhiko: Waaah!
Conan: Eh?

Mitsuhiko: Th-there was a tall person looking in through the window on the door!!
Ayumi: Eh!?

Conan: That must have been the owner! We should go introduce ourselves.
SFX: Hit

Conan: Hm? It's stuck on something...

SFX: Slide...

Conan: A push cart?

13

Genta: M-maybe they were trying to trap us in there...
Ayumi: Yeah, right.
Mitsuhiko: Excuse me!!
Mitsuhiko: We're not anyone suspicious!

Mitsuhiko: Please come out!

Ayumi: Ah! There's a room with the lights on!
Ayumi: Someone might be there!

Mitsuhiko: It looks like the kitchen...

Mitsuhiko: But what's this stuff on the table?
Ayumi: It's a whole bunch of half eaten fried chicken, bread, and ham...
Genta: It looks like a dog got into it or something...

Ai: The owner seems to be pretty wild.
Ai: Even the wine glass is knocked over.
Conan: Hm?

Conan: A notebook?

14

Conan: March 20th Sunny...
Conan: From talking to him, he seems to be a very nice boy. He smiles a lot and likes to play... I don't know if he understands the position he's in, but he's lived a fairly restricted life, too.
Conan: Anyway, 2 more days...Just need to endure until then.

Conan: March 22nd Cloudy...
Conan: Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven...The melodies cause your heart to tremble...A genius born in the same age...I resent his talent...
Conan: The songs he plays aren't appropriate for the situation, but it lets me forget about what time it is...Please let one more day pass without anything happening...

Conan: March 23rd Rainy...
Conan: Crap...It seems the boy knows who I am...If this gets out, it will hinder me in the future...
Conan: I feel sorry for him, but I have no choice but to kill...

Ayumi: K-kill!?
Mitsuhiko: Wh-what is this!?
Ai: Most likely, a kidnapping.

Ai: Someone kidnapped a small boy and has him imprisoned in this house.
Ayumi: N-no way...

Genta: Th-the next page!
Genta: What does it say!
Conan: The pages are stuck together...
Big SFX: Flash
SFX: Flip

15

SFX: Rumble rumble
On page: Boy, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Ayumi: A-a power outage...
Mitsuhiko: M-more importantly, there was something red on that page!?
Ai: And it said, "Boy, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Ayumi: The...
Ayumi: The piano...
Mitsuhiko: It's that song again!!

Genta: This is bad!! The murderer is still here!?

Mitsuhiko: W-We need to get out of here!!

Ayumi: B-but...We have to save that boy!!

Conan: Hey!! Don't leave my side!!

16

SFX: Thud

Ai: That's right...If we split up, we're done for...
Ai: You don't want to end up like that boy, do you?
Mitsuhiko: A-a coffin!?

Text: Waaaah!!

Conan: Hey...didn't the Air on the G String only become famous...
Ai: 100 years after Bach's death.

Ai: They might be intending to have the boy sleep inside this coffin...
Ai: for the same amount of time.

Right margin: They've wandered into an unthinkable villa!?
