Detective Conan 715

Chapter 715

01

Title: File 715 The Black Tortoise
Text: Wait, it's because you tried to force revenge into it!!

02

Ayumi: Y-you figured it out, Conan-kun!?

Ayumi: You know who Kid's disguised as...?
Conan: Yeah...

Conan: So could you tell something to one of the guards?

Conan: Tell them that the person that Kid switched out with is confined somewhere around here and that the guards outside should start a search.
Genta: But which guards should we talk to?

Ai: That's right... If Kid has a companion mixed in...
Mitsuhiko: that could end up badly for us.

Conan: No, Kid doesn't have any companions here.
Ayumi: Eh?

Right margin: Conan has figured out who Kid is disguised as.

03

Conan: Kid stole the horn made of amber from the Qilin statue by himself...
Conan: using 4 subordinates who didn't know what they were doing!

Mitsuhiko: F-four subordinates...
Ai: It couldn't be...

Nakamori: Anyway!

Nakamori: Since we can't find the Qilin's Horn that Kid stole anywhere in here...
Nakamori: then that means Kid isn't here anymore!!

Nakamori: Hurry up and unlock that door...
Nakamori: We need to go after him!!
Suzuki: No, I can't open that door.

Nakamori: Why?
Suzuki: I have a feeling he's still hidden in here somewhere...

Suzuki: It feels like he's making it look like he has taken the Qilin's Horn out already...
Suzuki: and is just waiting for us to open the door.

04

Ai: Exactly...
Ai: You can't open the door!

Ai: It's taken him much longer than he thought to escape...
Ayumi: and he's in here without any companions sweating it out...

Suzuki: W-without any companions?
Nakamori: Hey, have you forgotten?
Nakamori: You need a group in order to get that pillar to slide up and reveal the Qilin statue!

Nakamori: You have to put the four different colored keys...
Nakamori: in the four different colored pedestals and turn them all at the same time!

Nakamori: At the very least, without 3 more people, Kid couldn't do it...
Nakamori: Also, those 4 keys...

Nakamori: Were nailed to the wall...
Nakamori: before the crime even took place.

Nakamori: How did he do it...?
Genta: Those keys don't matter!
Genta: Kid didn't use them!

05

Nakamori: Y'know... the keyholes of the four pedestals had fluorescent paint in them and the four keys had the same fluorescent paint on the tips!
Suzuki: That's right... That can only be because Kid put the keys in the keyholes that had the fluorescent paint in them!

Ayumi: But we don't know when that paint was put on there.
Mitsuhiko: That's right! It could've been on the keys and in the keyholes before the blackout!

Mitsuhiko: It was meant to make it look like he used the keys!
Suzuki: True enough...
Suzuki: But can you bring out the Qilin statue without the keys?

Ai: That's written at the base of the pillar.
Ai: It says "Those wishing for and seeking after the Qilin without going through the proper means should entrust themselves to the flow."

Ai: It's a kind of after care for if you lost the keys left by Samizu Kichiemon who made the contraption...
Suzuki: So do you know what it means?

Ai: Yes... It simply means that anyone wanting the Qilin's Horn without using the keys should entrust themselves to the flow...
Suzuki: What flow!?

Ai: The four divine beasts... The pedestals in the four directions are pedestals for the four legendary divine beasts.

06

Mitsuhiko: The green pedestal...
Mitsuhiko: is for the Azure Dragon.

Ayumi: The white pedestal is for the White Tiger!

Genta: Black is for the Black Tortoise!

Ai: And this red pedestal is for the Vermilion Bird!
Suzuki: B-but...do the divine beasts have an order?

Ai: The Azure Dragon was Spring, the Vermilion Bird was Summer, the White Tiger was fall, and the Black Tortoise was Winter.
Ai: If "the flow" meant the order of the seasons...then it meant to do it in that order!

Suzuki: And what does it mean to entrust yourself?
Mitsuhiko: It means to lean against the pedestals like this...
SFX: *click*

07

Mitsuhiko: You're next, Haibara-san!
Ai: Yeah...
SFX: *click*

Ai: Okay, Yoshida-san!
Ayumi: Okay!
SFX: *click*

Ayumi: You're last, Genta-kun!
Genta: Got it!
SFX: *click*

Hisumi: Ah...
Shinkai: The pillar...
Masui: It's moving...

Suzuki: I-it closed!
Ai: Do you understand now?
Ai: If you lean on the pillars in the order of the seasons, you can move the pillar up and down without the keys...

Suzuki: But the lights were out for only a minute! Are you saying Kid was running around here putting his cards on and leaning up against the pedestals without any light?
Ai: No, we're the one's who did the leaning...

Ai: We were asked to protect the pedestals in the order: green, red, white, black.

Ai: Isn't that right, Inspector Nakamori...
Ai: No...

08

Ai: Moonlight Magician?

Suzuki: I see...The only way they could protect the keyholes was to put their back to the pedestal and watch their surroundings.
Nakamori: Hey, wait a second! Then how did the cards get there...?

Genta: We did that for him, too!
Ayumi: When the windows were destroyed and the wind and rain blew in, we put on our hoods.
Mitsuhiko: The cards were stuck to our backs where the hood covered them and had stickers that stuck to the pedestals!

Ai: This can be seen by the fact that the cards are distributed by our heights.
Suzuki: N-now that you mention it...

Ai: Kid most likely called that reporter using counselor Jirokichi's voice...
Ai: and introduced her to the company that made the parkas and added that himself.

Suzuki: But...you did a good job of getting the order right in the dark...
Suzuki: There wasn't any signal we could find in the recording.
Ai: The alarm.

Genta: He's the one who told us about it!
Mitsuhiko: There's an alarm when the electricity to the pedestals goes off in the order: green, red, white, black.
Mitsuhiko: We just waited for the alarm and covered our pedestal!

09

Suzuki: There was no such alarm...
Genta: Y-yes, there was!
Ayumi: It beeped...
Mitsuhiko: It hurt my ears...

Shinkai: Did you hear one?
Masui: No...
Hisumi: Nope...
Ayumi & Genta & Mitsuhiko: Ehhh!?

Conan: Mosquito Noise...

Conan: After 20, your ears begin to degenerate. It gets gradually more difficult to hear high frequency noises...
Conan: He used that so that only the children could hear it and it would inform them of the order for the pedestals.

Conan: If you hear a noise, but no one else questions it, you won't think it's anything suspicious!
Conan: That's why he used the voices of the TV staff to keep anyone young away.
Conan: That way no one else could hear it...

Ai: You didn't tell us about this Mosquito Noise thing...
Conan: Oh, sorry...

Suzuki: But where's the Qilin's Horn?
Conan: Oh, that...

10

Conan: It was in the hood of my parka!
Conan: He was planning on pretending to take me to the hospital after I'd been knocked out by the stun gun and then take it!
Conan: As soon as I woke up, I could feel its weight, though...

Conan: Also, he put the fluorescent paint on when he took the keys from the counselor saying he was showing us the Qilin statue.
Conan: He just had to put it on the keys and then put the keys in the keyholes!

Suzuki: Then where's the real inspector?
Conan: He's probably somewhere nearby after having been knocked out by the stun gun...

Nakamori: Hey, it's me, Nakamori!
Nakamori: Open the door! Kid's in there disguised as me!!

Conan: Wanna let him in?
Suzuki: But what if that's Kid trying to let a companion out?

Conan: If he was gonna do that, he'd have already done it! At least before I woke up...
Suzuki: Okay, open the door!

11

Suzuki: Eh?

People: Kyah!
People: Wait!?
People: Waah!!

Nakamori: How about that, Kid!
Nakamori: Haa
Nakamori: Haa
Nakamori: Haa
Nakamori: All the adults but you have been marked!

Nakamori: Now you can't disguise yourself as someone else so easily!
Nakamori: The person without my seal on their head...

Nakamori: Is you!!

Nakamori: Okay, old man! Don't open that door!
Nakamori: This time, it's over for him!!

Kid: Ohh...
Kid: We'll see about that.

12

Mitsuhiko: Eh?

Genta: Waah
Conan: G-Genta!?

Nakamori: Lights!!

13

Nakamori: Find the person without my seal on their face!!
Nakamori: That'll be Kid!!

Guards: B-but Inspector!
Guards: Everyone has your seal on them...

Guards: We can't find Kid anywhere!!
Nakamori: N...
Nakamori: No way!

Nakamori: Then where did he disappear to!?
Nakamori: He couldn't have disguised himself as a child could he...?

Genta: Hey, help me!
Nakamori: Hm?
Ayumi: G-Genta-kun...

14

Mitsuhiko: Wh-what happened? What's with that hole...?
Genta: I don't know! In the dark, someone grabbed me and shoved me in this hole!

Ai: Come to think of it, the Inspector-Nakamori-disguised Kid was touching the floor...
Conan: He was probably putting down a simple explosive in order to open a hole in the floor he could plug with Genta and flee through...

Nakamori: Okay, Kid's under the floor!!
Nakamori: Open the door!!
Suzuki: Okay!

Mitsuhiko: We'll go, too!
Ayumi: Yeah!
Conan: Genta, stay there!
Ai: If something grabs your legs, yell for us!
Genta: O-okay...

Nakamori: Hey, do you see him?
Guard: No, not yet...

Conan: Hey, wait...
Conan: Isn't Genta's bald spot on the...?

15

Kid: Shhh
Conan: K...
Conan: Kaitou Kid!?

Kid: I'll give this back...
Kid: I wasn't here for the jewel!
Conan: W-when did he...!?

Conan: Wh-where's Genta?
Kid: Sleeping at the bottom of the hole...

Kid: He's sleeping real nicely.
Kid: You probably shouldn't wake him.

Conan: I see...You wanted to show that you could masquerade as a child, too.
Kid: Correct!

Kid: I've shown that...
Kid: nothing is impossible for Kaitou Kid!!

16

Kid: See ya!
Conan: Wait...

Conan: You forgot something...

Conan: That guard is Kid!!
Conan: Catch him!!

Kid: Heh!
Kid: If I flee into the forest dressed like this, they can't tell me apart from the other guards!

Box: An hour later...
Guards: I've found Kid!!
Guards: He's 6 kilometers west of the mountain temple!
Kid: Eh? How?

Kid: How can they tell!?
On card: I've taken the Qilin's Horn. -Kaitou Kid

Right margin: Making sure to get him back for knocking him out. That's Conan for you!!
