Just as flowing water has no form, and the breeze is invisible,
deductions take all shapes and styles in each and every case to be solved
Today's episode is the 1st in a series of mind boggling mysteries
We'll start with the adventures of these guys.
He sees through the one and only truth.
A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult,
no case is left unsolved with Detective Conan!
Not once but twice...
Who are you, brave sir who has rescued me?
Ah! Valiant nameless knight dressed in black...
If you wish to grant me my wish...
Please remove that jet black mask and show yourself to me...
Ah! If that is what the princess wishes,
I will reveal my ugly scarred face to you beneath the light of this moon!
Good grief! Come on dad! Be serious!
There's not too much time left before my school play!
Give me a break!
Nobody can say these lines with a straight face, it's so unnatural!!
Who in the blazes wrote this syrupy script reading the script anyway...
It was Sonoko! Sonoko!
She said she wrote the part for the black knight with Shinichi in mind!
Haha...that Sonoko...
Hey, wait a minute!!
"Knight and princess kiss passionately" That's what it says right here!
Where!?
Oh it's just pretend, don't worry about it!
Come on Ran, who's going to do it? You know, that knight's part...
Why Conan, are you that curious?
Well, just a little...
Humph! I'll bet you got some goofy kid to do the part
Actually, it's somebody you both know VERY well
Remember, you met him during one of your cases,
It's our school doctor, Dr. Araide
All the boys in our school were too embarrassed to do it
So we asked Dr. Araide when he came by to give us our physical exams
It seems he played a lot of leads in school plays in his days,
that's why he's so good at it,
he says the lines well and he knows how to handle women...
Oh no, no way! I won't have it!
No, no! Don't do it, Ran
Just kidding. He's just overlooking our rehearsals!
Sonoko's going to dress like a man to play the part of the knight!
Oh, I see...
How stupid...
Oh no! Look at the time!
I've got practice in the morning,
I've got to take a bath and get to sleep right away...
Uh, the bath's not working!
Aw shucks, I wanted to take a bath too
Then why don't you two go to the public bath
But I'm sure it's closed today
Why don't we go ask Dr. Agasa to let us use his bath then?
I was going there tonight anyway to talk about our camping trip this weekend
Really? Come on, let's go!
I'll go get my change of clothes!
Me too...
Good grief!
You don't want to trouble the man too much
so take your baths together and come home right away, you hear!!
You..you've...
You've go be kidding! Why do I have to bathe with Conan!
Oh dear.... I meant to say, it wouldn't be proper...
Isn't that right, Conan!
Yeah, I guess...
PERIOUS RETURN- DETECTIVES IN THE CAVE
Something's strange
Lately, Ran's been...
Huh? What are you talking about?
Sometimes I can feel it...
Something in Ran's eyes and the way she treats me,
it isn't way a person treats a 7 year old, it's like...
Come on now, Shinichi...
Well, it could just be my imagination I suppose...
Maybe she knows?
Who you really are...
Now, Ai...
I have something to do in the basement, it'll take me until morning
don't disturb me
Hey, what if Ai is right...
Impossible
If she was suspicious, why wouldn't she ask me about it?
That's the way Ran is...
Huh?
What about me?
No, uh...
By the way, where is Ai?
Oh, yes, Ai's in the basement...
I think I'll go say hello
Hey Ran don't go down there...
Hello!
Ai...
Hey, why don't you say hello!
It's alright Doctor. I shouldn't bother her...
Well, I'll see you later Ai
Could it be...
I'm running away?...
That's ridiculous...
It's the new century!
Hey Doc, about our conversation the other day regarding Ran...
Huh?
Can you make a handy robot just in case of an emergency?
Hmm...what kind did you have in mind?
You know,
something that moves and sounds exactly me. My double so to speak...
If I could make something like that, I'd already be a millionaire!
I guess you're right...
There, the tent's up!!
We didn't forget the tent today!
Ai and I will build stove so why don't you kids go get some wood for the fire
OK!!
Tonight we're going to have barbeque, a barbeque...
Hey guys! I think we've got enough, let's go back!
OK!!
Hey guys! Come over here
I found something interesting
It's just a limestone cave...
The sign says "Do Not Enter-Danger"
The words on this is what caught my attention
Follow the dragon's path...
and a glow of supreme bliss will shine on you...
Glow of supreme bliss?
A glow that makes you very happy
Do you think it means...
Treasure?!
Haha, here we go again...
The catch is this big [to] carved in the stone...
Tokujo Unaju
Topaz...
Tonneru (tunnel)
Tokugawa buried treasure...
I was just kidding...?
Hey, comeback here guys...
Don't worry, we're just going to check it out
Oh for goodness sakes...
This sure is a huge cave...
It's a limestone cave!
I didn't think it'd be so big inside!
Cigarettes?
The filter's still damp...
I wonder if someone besides us is in here?
What's keeping them...
Where'd they go off to...
They're probably exploring the forest.
After all, their leader's a very curious detective...
But never mind them! Give me hand here!
Huh? Oh...
What's that!!? Look at that, it's a light
Somebody's over there
Could it be the person who was smoking?
Maybe somebody's already found the treasure before us?
Aw rats! I don't believe it!
Genta, don't!
Darn it all, we should've come in here earlier
then the treasure would've been ours!
What's the matter? Genta??
A b..bo..a body...
Why you...
A gun!?
Get down!!
Hey! What's going on?
Kids, some kids saw us!
Good grief, you think their parents are with them?
No, it was only the 4 kids!
Damn! What a run of bad luck...
First we rob a bank but 1 of us gets our face seen...
So we had to kill him and we figured
if we buried him in here, nobody'd find out who we were.
but now those kids saw us...
now those kids saw us...
Damn! Where'd they go
Hey, what're we going to do when we find those kids?
The only logical thing
We're going to put them to eternal sleep here in this dark tomb
By blowing a hole through their little heads
You get to the entrance!
Him and I will search around here a little longer
OK!
Hey Haibara! Can you hear me? Haibara?
Haibara! Answer me!!
Haibara!
Answer me if you can hear me, Haibara!!
Haibara...Haibara
Look at this, I don't believe you've been cooking your own meals
Don't tease me!
I wonder what they're doing?
Maybe the switch is off?
I know! I'll go tell those guys that we didn't see anything
That won't help!
Conan will think of a good idea...
Right, Conan...
Hey, Conan...
Conan...
Co, Conan!?
Wh, what's the matter? Why're you bleeding...
You mean, the bullet he shot, hit you?
Conan, we've got to get out of here right away,
before those bad men come back!
W, wait...Ai and the Professor are out there waiting for us,
sooner or later, they'll come in this cave to look for us...
If they come in not knowing what's happening,
chances are, those bad men will kill them.
We've got to warn that this cave is dangerous...
But...how're we going to do that?
If we write a note and those bad guys find it, they'll just rip it up!
I guess we'll just have to keep going deeper inside
and keep trying to reach them with the badge...
Don't be stupid!
If we go in any deeper, the radio waves won't reach that far...
Then what're we going to do?
We're going to use these transmitters, the ones we use to track criminals...
There's a seal on the back, we can peel back about 10...
B, but... what're we going to use them for?
I don't have time to explain...
Just do what I tell you, now hurry, take this...
Rats! Where'd those kids go!!
Hey! Did you find them?
No, it didn't look like they made it to the entrance or to the outside!
That's strange... and we already searched around here...
The only place we haven't looked is the way that goes deeper in the cave...
Humph! That saves us the trouble of going after them!
Those kids are dead.
I hear the inside of this cave is a giant maze,
a lot of people have died without ever finding their way out
No, we're going to go after them!
We've got take care of all loose ends
And it looks like those kids did head inside
Eye glasses?
Those could be from somebody else who got lost in here though
You fool! Look at this!
Blood! It's blood!!
Aha! And it's still damp
I get it, that means we'll catch up to those kids in no time!
Heh, that's right!!
Listen
Don't you think they're TOO late?
Huh? I guess so...
I'm going to go look in the woods
Hey, wait!
Wait for me, Ai!
Are you alright, Conan?
Yeah, fine... now that I put a huge bandage on it...
By the way Genta... can't you walk any faster?
Those guys'll catch up to us...
B, but...
I thought it'd hurt if I rocked you too much
This is all my fault
If I hadn't come inside and said it wouldn't hurt to check it out
Conan wouldn't have gotten hurt...
It's not your fault Ayumi!
I started it, I shouldn't found this cave in the first place...
You dummy! You know it was my fault.
I got carried away and happened to see those guys with the body...
All of you are wrong...
If you hadn't come inside this cave,
a murder would've gone unsolved. But thanks to you, we know who the killers are
Now...as soon as we get away from those guys,
we've got a barbeque to cook!
Let's be optimistic about this!
Right!!
Oh no! Everybody come quick!
It splits into 2 here
You're right...
Wh, what'll we do.....
Let's "janken” to decide
Ge...Genta... hand me the wristwatch light...
Eh?
Come on, hurry!
Oh, sure!
Hey kids, where are you!
Look! It's wood for the fire!
Eh?
4 piles stacked neatly in front of the cave
That means... I don't believe it...those kids....
are inside this cave...
What's this, the road splits?
Darn! Which way'd they go!?
Hey! What's that?
Something's shining...
Hm, it's a wristwatch with a light, those kids have fancy stuff...
Then we're on the right track, those kids went this way...
Wait!
It's a trap!!
Think about it!
They may be only kids
but do you think they wouldn't notice if they dropped something with a light?
And they were thoughtful enough to tuck the belt away
They made it look like they went this way but actually, they went that way!!
Rats!
Those kids think they're so smart!
I'm getting curious, I can't wait to see what those kids look like!
Yeah! Their faces full of fear, begging for their life!!
Are you sure it'll work?
You know, deliberately leaving the watch showing them we came this way...
Yes..I'm sure those guys are going the other way
Those men robbed a bank,
I'm sure there's at least 1 smart guy among them...
But what happens if they split in 2 groups and come this way too?
Humph, it won't happen...
they can't even use a transmitter in this cave,
they know it could cost them their life if they split up
Look, a fish!!
What!?
Hey...does that fish have eyes?
Yes it does, I can see it! I think it's a sweetfish
Eh? What was that?? Are we going to eat it??
No you silly!
We're not running away without thinking up a plan
Fish that live in caves have no eyes, if this fish has eyes,
there's a good chance it swam in here from some river
I'm saying that if we move upstream this underground river...
Maybe we'll find a way out!!
That's right...
These are Kudo's aren't they?
Yes!!
Then they must have gotten lost in here after all...
But why'd he leave them here...
This is terrible, we've got to find them right away...
Wait!
Something's on the ground around here a lot of them
Why these are the button shaped transmitters!!
Don't touch them!!
I think they form a shape
A shape?
Let me reduce the transmission area...
Why this is!!
110, emergency!?
Hey! What is this!! It's a dead end!
Darn those kids!! They pulled one on us!
Hurry, let's head back and find them!
I'm going to kill them!
Oh no.....
I don't believe this....
We couldn't possibly get out through there...
The fish does seem to come from here though...
Does that mean we'll never get out alive??
No way!!
It's too early to give up hope...
Huh?
Look, the roots of a tree are growing through the roof of the cave...
That means we're right under the surface of the ground...
the way out is probably very close by
But I don't see any way to get out...
Oh
It's an egg!!
There's something like a giant egg here!!
Wow!
Aw, it's just an egg shaped rock on top of another rock...
Oh shucks, what a bummer...
We've come to a very strange place...
Yeah, the path splits into 5...
I wonder which one leads to the way out..
That's strange...it isn't natural for a rock like that to rest on another rock
Someone put it there deliberately... but for what reason....
Look at that! Something's carved on it!
Eh?
Those lost in the darkness, follow the dragon's path
and a glow of supreme bliss will shine upon you
Those lost in the darkness?...
It's almost the same words we found on the stone monument we found outside
B, bats!
Oh no Yikes
Those voices...
No doubt about it, it's those kids!
They're close by!! Hurry!
Let's go!
Shoo!
Don't move! Just keep still!
Bats that live in caves eat bugs.
That's why they respond to slight movements and sounds
Boy Ayumi, don't go finding anymore weird things
But...
No, we're lucky you did
Bats that live in caves nest no more than 300 meters from the entrance...
Really?
That means the way out is very close by...
Are you sure!?
But...
Our problem is, we don't know which one of tunnels leads to the way out.
If my deduction is right, the dragon's path will show us, but...
Rats, my eyes are getting fuzzy...
The key to the puzzle is
the huge [to] carved on the stone in front of the cave and the words "dragon's path"
and the egg shaped rock on top of the other rock
[to]...[dragon's path]...[egg]...?
Then let's try each of the tunnels
N, no...we're only going to go into 1...
Eh?
The words "Those lost in the darkness" refers to those lost in the cave...
"glow of supreme bliss“ means the light of the way out...
Th, that means...the carvings on the stone in front of the cave and on that rock are
hints as how to get out of here...
The dragon's path that leads out is...
Th...that means...
No...
Conan?
Co, Conan!
Eek, he's bleeding so badly!!
Footsteps!?
Oh no, those guys are coming!
Wh,. What're we going to do...
Oh no...they're coming this way!
You're idiots I've already read your gameplan...
What!?
Excuse me...
I have the same blood type as him!
Ran...
so you do know...about me...
PERILOUS RETURN- THE WOUNDED DETECTIVE
