(Notice: The title of this book is a reference to book written by Sun Tzu)
(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu )
Takeda Shingen used a famous phrase from this book as his war banner.
It's worth to read the following summary about Takeda Shingen before reading this file (Source)
Shingen
Takeda had a profound effect on the Sengoku-Jidai period of Japan. He
influenced many lords with his law system, tax system and
administration system. He was probably not as cruel as other warlords
but he was aggresive toward military enemies. His war banner
contained the famous phrase Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan, taken from Sun Tzu's 'The
Art of War.' This phrase translates to Swift as the wind, Silent as a
forest, Fierce as fire and Immovable as a mountain.
The
phrase demonstrates both Shingen's policies and warfare strategy.
Shingen was indeed fierce as fire and was one of the most aggressive
warlords of the time period. He moved swiftly as the wind and even
after a defeat he would quickly avenge his loss and make a
counter-attack. However Shingen's intentions weren't always clear. He
would move cautiously and could suddenly attack enemies, thus he was
silent as a forest. Despite all of this Shingen was indeed immovable
as the mountain. In battle he moved cautiously and made sure he was
well defended. Once he had gained a firm hold on territories in
Shinano and Kai, Shingen made sure he did not rush into battle and
Shingen carefully checked his borders. Even after a defeat he would
still hold his ground and thus during his reign the Takeda was well
defended.

ああ、そうだ！こいつは連続殺人だ！！
Yes, that's right! These are serial murders!!
[Kogoro]
れ、連続殺人！？
Serial Murders!?
[Yamato]
そうよ！竜巻で重傷を負った虎田義郎を見殺しにした弟１の事件...
Yes! Just like in the first case where Torada Yoshiro had serious injuries by a tornado but was left to die....
[Yamato]
龍尾康司を縛り土に埋めて撲殺した弟２の事件
...and like in the second case, where Tatsuo Kouji was tied and buried in the ground, and beaten to death...
[Yamato]
その２件と同様に落ちてんだよ...首を吊られたこの龍尾綾華の足元に...
Just like those 2 cases, after hanging Tatsuo Ayaka, they left under her legs...
[Yamato]
百足の死骸がな！
...a dead centipede!
[Kogoro]
なに！？
What!?
[Yamato]
しかもだ
その死骸の周り、雨上がりでぬかるんだ土の上には...
Not only that...
If you look at the muddy sand around the centipede...
[Yamato]
今入った俺の足跡と...
この杖の跡しか残ってねぇ...
...you will only find my footsteps and cane's marks...
(Comment: This makes Yamato be the murder :P)
[Yamato]
さらに雨が降った後、吊るされていた木に
誰かがよじ登った形跡が全くない所を見ると...
Moreover, you won't see any traces on the tree that she was hanged on, for someone climbing it...
[Yamato]
こいつは...
This is...
[Conan / Heiji]
不可能 犯罪やな
Impossible Crime...
(Comment: If you prepare this rope before it rains, it would be different story)
[Kogoro]
まあ、その遺体を降ろす前にすでにあんたの足跡がついてたって場合もありますが...
Well... It is also possible that your footsteps were there before taking down her body...
[Kogoro]
ですよねぇ、やけに到着の早い刑事さん？
Right? Mr first-to-find-the-body...
[Yamato]
フン... 虎田家の連中に聞きてぇ事があって家に行ったんだが...
Humph... I wanted to ask Torada family about something, and went to their house
(Notice: The right grammar is 聞きたい事があって)
みんな、この虎田綾華を捜しに林へ出たと使用人が言うから来ただけよ...
I just came (here) because a servant there told me that everybody went out to the forest to search for Torada Ayaka...
[Kogoro]
しかし、タイミングが良すぎますなぁ...
But isn't this is too much of coincidence?
(Lit: But, the timing was too much good)
[Kogoro]
ひっとしてトイレにこもった綾華さんを携帯電話で呼び出し、眠らせて体を担ぎその縄の輪に首を掛けて吊るした後、虎田家に何食わぬ顔で行ったんじゃ...
Maybe you asked her to come by the cell phone while she was locking herself in the toilet, put her to sleep, curried her, put this robe around her neck, and hanged her! After that, you went to Torada's house like nothing happened!
[Conan]
それはないと思うよ！
I don't think so!
[Conan]
その刑事さんが綾華さんを降ろす前に地面を見たけど...
I saw the ground before this officer took Ayaka-san down...
[Conan]
足跡も杖の後もなかったから...
担いで縄に引っ掛けたっていうのはできないんじゃないかなぁ...
There wasn't any footsteps nor cane traces...
That means he couldn't have curried her or hanged her!
[Kogoro]
本当に見たんだろーな！
Are you sure you saw (nothing on the floor)?
[Conan]
うん！
Yes!
[Yamato]
それよりトイレにこもる前に様子が変だったと聞いたが... 何かあったのか？
That aside... I heard that the circumstances was strange before she locked herself in the toilet... what happened?
[Ran]
ゆ、昨夜わたし達が寝ていた部屋の障子の向こうに鎧武者の影が見えて...
L- Last night, we saw a shadow of armored warrior beyond the sliding doors...
[Kazuha]
形から諏訪 法性の兜やてゆうたら
急に綾華さんが怯えはって...
When we mentioned he had a hamlet like Suwa Hossho, Ayaka-san suddenly got scared...
(Notice: Remember that Suwa Hossho is the name of Takeda Shingen's helmet)
[Tatsuo Shigeyo]
祟りじゃ...
It's a curse...
[Tatsuo Shigeyo]
信玄公の怒りを買うて 呪い殺されたのじゃよ！
その百足の死骸が良い証じゃわい！！
They provoked the anger/outrage of Shingen, and so they were cursed to death! The body of centipede is good proof!!
[Kogoro]
え？百足がなんで武田信玄？
Eh? How is the centipede is related to Takeda Shingen?
[Tatsuo Tamefumi]
知らないんですか？
You don't know?
[Tatsuo Tamefumi]
信玄公は戦場で伝令役を務める者達を「百足衆」と呼び...
百足の旗指しを背負わせていたんです...
Shingen called the people who worked as messengers at the battlefield “centipede people”, and so he made them curry a flag with “centipede” on their shoulders!
(Notice: Need to know what the exact meaning of 伝令役 ~ messenger role)
[Shigetsugu]
そ、そうか！ どこかで百足の絵を見た事あると思ったけど
Th- That's it! I knew I saw a picture of centipede somewhere!
[Shigetsugu]
祭りでやる戦で誰かがその旗を差していたのを見たんだ！
I saw someone in the war play in the festival holding a flag (with centipede on it)!
[Torada Naonobu]
そんな事も知らずにお前は宝探しをやっておったのか繁次！
How can you go to search for treasure without even knowing this!?
[Kazuha]
そんならその宝っちゅうのんは、まさか武田信玄の...
Then could that treasure be the treasure of Takeda Shingen....?
[Torada Tatsue]
ええ...
信玄の隠し金山ですわ！
Yeah
It's the Shingen's hidden gold mine!!
(Comment: If only the detective boys were here!!!)
[Torada Tatsue]
ウチの倉からそれらしい書物や地図が出て来て以来、繁次さんは夢中になっているんです...
先日亡くなった２人とその綾華さん...
そして...
Shigetsugu-san has been [onto this/ keen on it/mad about this] since they found a book and a map talking about that (treasure) in our cellar...
He involved the two people who died few days ago, Ayaka-san, and...
あそこにいる龍尾景さんを巻き込んでね...
...the one over there, Tatsuo Akira-san...
(Comment: So Shigetsugu is not the only one who participated in searching for that treasure)
[Akira]
た、確かに僕達は繁次に頼まれて埋蔵金探しを手伝っていましたけど...
It is true that we were asked by Shigetsugu to help out with searching for gold...
[Akira]
私利私欲のためじゃない！
But we didn't do that for selfish desires!
[Akira]
本当に見つかったらいい村起しになると思って
We wanted to use it for revitalization of the village..
[Akira]
そ、それに
なんで綾華まで祟られなきゃいけないんだ
A- And...
Why did Ayaka have to be cursed!?
[Yamato]
採掘場に差し入れを持って行ってたぐらいなのに…
She only brought some snacks to the mine...
[Yamato]
祟りなんかじゃねぇぜ... こいつは歴とした殺しだ！
It is not a murder... This is a genuine murder...
[Yamato]
その鼻ヒゲの探偵の言う通り、龍尾綾華のウエストポーチには携帯電話が入ってねぇ...
トイレにこもってたっていうその間にまんまとと呼び出されたんだ...
連続殺人犯にな...
It's like what the detective with mustache said, there's no cell phone inside the waist pouch of Tatsuo Ayaka...
Which means she was called while she was locking herself in the toilet...
by the serial murder, that is...
[Yamato]
まあ自分の屍を晒したくなきゃ、１人でうろつかねぇこった...
特に埋蔵金を探してたっていう
Needless to say that if you don't want to die, do not wonder around a lone
specially those who were searching for the gold...
あんたら２人はな...
You two, that is...
[Heiji]
ホンマか？
Really?
[Heiji]
ホンマにその鎧武者ここに立っとったんやな？
Was that armored warrior really standing here?
[Ran]
う、うん...
Y- Yes...
[Kazuha]
すぐにどっか行ってしもたんやけど
He went somewhere immediately though...
[Kogoro]
なんでその時障子を開けて空手で捕まえなかったんだ？
Why didn't you open the sliding door, and use your karate to catch him?
[Ran]
だ、だってお化けと思って腰が抜けちゃったんだもん！！
B- Because I thought it was a ghost and it scared the hell out of me!!
[Kazuha]
化け物に空手も合気も通じひんし
Neither Karate nor Aikido work with the ghosts
(Comment: Kazuha has a point here :P)
[Heiji]
アホ！この世に化け物なんか...
Idiot! Things such as ghost do not exist in this world!
[Heiji]
ん？
Umm?
[Conan]
おい、見ろよ服部！
Hey, look, Hattori!
[Conan]
これ、なんだかわかるよな？
You know what this is, right?
[Heiji]
荷作りん時に使てるビニールヒモを細ォ裂いた物に見えるけど
It looks like a torn vinyl thread which they use when packing things...
[Conan]
廊下や地面に何本か落ちてたぜ？
I found some pieces of it thrown in the corridor and on the ground...
[Heiji]
そうか！
Right!
[Hattori]
この細いビニール紐を束にして兜に付けたら...
その障子に映ってた影は武田信玄の諏訪法性の兜に見えるちゅうわけやな！！
If you attach a bunch of these vinyl threads on a helmet, the shadow of it on this sliding door will look like Takeda Shingen's helmet, Suwa Hossho
[Kogoro]
あん？
Huh?
[Heiji]
せやから 犯人はそないして
武田信玄の祟りを煽りたかったちゅうこっちゃ！
This means that the murder did this because he wanted to fan/kindle/stir up (the idea of) Takeda Shingen's curse...
(Notice: The verb あおる is originally used with fire / quarrel / anger)
[Heiji]
こら殺人やのーて祟りやでってなぁ
And that these were not murders but curses
[Kogoro]
じゃあ祭りで使う鎧を部屋に置いてた繁次さんが犯人か？
Then Shigetsugu-san who left an armor in his room is the murder?
[Conan]
いや
No
[Conan]
ホラ、見てよ！見慣れない草履の足跡がついてるでしょ？
See! There're unfamiliar Zori footsteps...
(Notice: Zori are Japanese footwear sandals)
[Heiji]
裏の門の先まで続いてるやんけ
They continue till the back gate...
[Ran]
そういえば鎧武者の話をした時、繁次さんが言ってたよ！
Now that you mentioned it, when we were talking about the armored warrior, Shigetsugu-san said...
[Ran]
祭りで使う鎧なら誰も使ってない部屋に置いてあるから、誰かが持ち出すのは簡単だけど...
その鎧の兜に毛はついてないから違うねって...
The armors which are used in the festival are kept inside a room that nobody use so it's easy for someone to take out one, but the helmets of those armors have no fur/hair on them so (the one we saw) could not be one of them...
(Comment: I just noticed that Japanese people like to say someone / somebody / nobody :P)
[Kogoro]
んじゃ、外部から侵入した誰かがその鎧を持ち出して信玄の影を作ったってことか...
Then this means someone sneaked in from outside and took out one of the armors and created the shadow of Shingen...
(Comment: Kogoro just said “someone”)
[Heiji]
もしくは、見せかけるために この家の誰かがわざと草履の跡をつけよったか...
Or somebody from this house left out his/her footsteps with Zori to make it look like that...
(Comment: Now it's Heiji turn)
それに
その話した時、繁次さん言うてはったよ...
Also
When we was talking about that, Shigetsugu-san said...
[Kazuha]
鎧なら景さんの家にも置いてあるけど、兜にフサフサはついてへんかったって
...that there were armors in Akira-san's house as well but they had no bushy hair...
[Conan]
え？鎧、向こうの家にもあるの？
Eh? They have armors in that house as well?
[Kazuha]
う、うん
Y- Yes...
[Ran]
龍尾家のは結構立派な鎧だって
He said that they have decent ones
[Heiji]
ほんならオレらは龍尾家に行って来るよって、
和葉らはそのオッサンと一緒におれ！
In this case, we will go to Tatsuo family,
and you two, stay with that old man!
[Kazuha]
えー！？
EEEH!?
[Heiji]
オッサン！わかってると思うけど、
埋蔵金探しとるっちゅう繁次さんから目ェ離すんやないで！
I think you are already aware of that but...
Keep your eye on Shigetsugu, the one who searches for the gold...
[Kogoro]
フン!お前に言われなくても...
Humph! You don't have to tell me...
[Heiji]
ほんならな！
See ya!
[Kazuha]
もぉー!
Again!
[Kazuha]
また置いてけぼりやん
He left me alone again!
[Ran]
きっと和葉ちゃんを危ない目に遭わせたくないのよ！
ホラ、わたし達よくヤバイ物とか見ちゃって犯人に狙われたりするし...
I'm sure he does not want to expose you [Kazuha-chan] to danger!
See... Because we see horrible things and the culprits targets our lives...
(Comment: Ran is talking like a child :P)
[Kazuha]
そうやろか?
Is that so?
[Ran]
うん！じらして
後で真相を自慢顔で話すつもりなのよ！
新一もそういうトコあるし...
Yeah! After keeping (you) in suspense, he will [reveal] the truth with a boastful look!
Even Shinichi does this...
[Kazuha]
へぇーー
HEEE！
[Ran]
あ、でも新一の場合は好きとかじゃないと思うけど
Ah, but in case of Shinichi, I guess (he) doesn't love (me) or anything
(Notice: Ran has been always shy to say the truth of her feeling towards Shinichi)
[Yui]
其の疾き事...風の如く
“Swift as that wind”
(Notice: The above is known as Fuurinkazan; the the phrase which Takeda Shingen uses as a war banner)
(You may want to read the notice at the beginning of this page)
(Also see the following link to read more about Fuurinkazan)
http://www.geocities.jp/yatgtke8/1history/1kfgozan.html
[Kazuha]
え？
Eh?
[Yui]
好きなんでしょ？あの色黒の少年のコト...
You love that dark skinned boy, don't you?
[Kazuha]
あっ...ちゃ...
Ah... N-
[Yui]
山のように腰を据えてじっくり待つのもいいけど...
It is not bad to settle in a place like a mountain and wait deliberately
(Notice: what Yui says now is reference to the Furinkazan “ Immovable as a mountain”)
[Yui]
その想いが熱いうちに風のように素早く行動するのも１つの手
But you can also go and do action about it as fast as the wind, while that feeling is still hot...
(Notice: Here, another reference for Furinkazan; “Swift as the wind”)
[Yui]
ボヤボヤしてると、気持ちを伝える前に
その相手が目の前から消えて...
取り返しのつかなくなる事もあるんだから...
If you don't watch out, your love will disappear in front of your eyes before you can tell him your feeling...
Because things become irreparable sometimes...
[Yui]
私のようにね
Just like in my case...
[Kogoro]
はやきこと
風の如く...
Swift as the wind?
[Kogoro]
あれ？これって確か...
Heh? If I remember well, this is...
(Comment: Now we will leave Kogoro to remember Japanese history)
[Heiji]
変や！
変やぞ工藤！！
That's strange!
That's strange, Kudo!
[Conan]
ああ...
綾華さんの口を塞いでた
Yeah...
The gag which was covering...
[Conan / Heiji]
猿轡！
...Ayaka-san's mouth
[Heiji]
付けたんは声出されへんようにするためやろうけど
They probably put it to prevent her from [shouting]
[Heiji]
信玄の祟りにビビって自殺したみたいに見せるんやったら首吊らせた後で取るやろ？普通...
If they wanted it to look like a suicide to run from Shingen's curse, they would normally take (the gag) after hanging her...
[Conan]
ーってことは取れない理由があったか
Which means either they couldn't take it...
[Conan]
あるいはわざとそうしたか
Or they put it on purpose...
[Heiji]
けど、わざとやったら犯人はなんでそないな事しとんねん？
どーせ死んだら口利かれへんやろ？
But, if it was on purpose, why did the culprit had to do that?
When people die, they don't speak, do they?
[Conan]
誰かに向けた脅しとか？何も喋らず静かにしてろっていう...
Maybe it's a threat towards somebody?
(A threat) which silently says “Keep quiet”...
[Conan / Heiji]
ウーン
Ummm...
へェ〜〜〜
HEEEEE---
(Comment: This must be Heiji)
[Heiji]
こらまた 大層な鎧やなぁ
This is another huge armor!!
[Heiji]
赤いっちゅう事は武田の 赤備えか？
The Red thing here refers to Takeda's red army?
(This is the wiki article for Akazonae (red army) )
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B5%A4%E5%82%99%E3%81%88
[Tatsuo Tamefumi]
ああ
Yeah
[Conan]
この家、武田に縁でもあるの？
Does this family have any connection to Takeda?
[Tatsuo Tamefumi]
いや
私や母が信玄公の大ファンでね...
大金はたいて買ったんだ...
No
Me and my mother are big fans of him...
It costed us a large amount of money!
[Tamefumi]
亡くなった息子の康司君や
虎田家の義郎君も信玄が好きでねぇ
よく見に来ていたよ
My late son, Kouji-kun, and Yoshiro-kun from Torada family also liked Shingen, and they used to come here to see it...
[Tamefumi]
もう１人の息子の景はそうでもないが
However, my other son wasn't like that...
[Conan]
ねぇ、どうして同じ息子なのに康司さんは君付けで
景さんは呼び捨てなの？
Say, Why do you address Kouji-san with the “-kun” title, but you don't do this with Akira-san, even though both of them are your sons?
(Comment: This has been bothering me too)
[Tamefumi]
ああ...
康司君は景の後に生まれた 私の娘の婿、入り婿なんだ
Ah...
Kouji-kun is my son-in-law who took our family name, and he was born after Akira...
[Tamefumi]
まあ、娘は随分前に交通事故で他界したんだが、
結婚する前から康司君は景の同級生で
よくウチに遊びに来ていたので、
昔のまま君づけに...
康司君も景の事を「兄さん」とは呼んでいなかったよ...
Well, my daughter has passed away in a traffic accident long time ago...
Kouji-san used to come to our house even before their marriage because he was a classmate of Akira, so I continued to address him with “-kun”
Kouji-kun also never addressed Akira with “Niisan” title...
[Tomefumi]
同級生といえば虎田家の義郎君や繁次君も景（あきら）と同級生なんだが、繁次君は義郎君の事を「兄さん」と呼んでいたなあ...
Speaking of classmates, Yoshiro-kun and Shigetsugu-kun from Torada family were also classmates with Akira. Shigetsugu-kun was calling Yoshiro-kun by “-Niisan” title...
[Notice: Niisan originally means “brother”, and therefore it is used by young kids to address their elder brothers]
[Heiji]
ん？
兄弟なんやから普通やんか
Huh?
They were brothers, so that's normal thing, no?
[Tamefumi]
あ、いや...
義郎君は虎田家当主の 直信さんの姉の息子で...
Ah, No...
Yoshiro-kun is the son of elder sister of Naonobu-san, the head of Torada family....
[Tamefumi]
その姉が夫と共に早死にしたので養子に引き取り、
小さい頃から兄弟同然で育てられたそうだから
I heard that his sister died with her husband at an early age, and so, (Nanobu-san) took care of him, and thus they were raised as brothers...
[Heiji]
ちゅう事は、今回死んだ３人は虎田家とも龍尾家とも
血ィがつながってないっちゅうわけやな？
So that means that the 3 people who died were not (directly) related by blood to Torada family nor Tatsuo family...
(Summary: Both of Yoshiro and Kouji were not sons of Naonobu & Tamefumi respectively)
[Tamefumi]
あ、ああ...
綾華さんは景の嫁だしね...
No, they were not
And Ayaka-san was Akira's wife...
[Conan]
ねえ、その鎧の後ろの旗って...
Say, the flag [Banner] behind this armor...
[Tamefumi]
ああ... これはレプリカでね...
Ah... This is just replica...
[Tamefumi's mother]
読めぬか 小僧...
Can't you read it, Kid?
[Tamefumi]
疾き事風の如く...
徐かなる事林の如く...
侵略する事火の如く...
動かざる事山の如し
Swift as the wind, Silent as a forest, Fierce as fire and Immovable as a mountain
(Notice: The text written on the banner is in Old Japanese, and therefore there's no way that Conan can read it, unless he has seen it in TV or history books)
[Tamefumi's mother]
その昔、孫子が説いた兵法じゃ！！
This is a strategy [art of war] that was explained by Sun Tzu
(Notice: See the explaination at the beginning of this page)
[Heiji]
そ、そうか！竜巻で大ケガして見殺しにされた義郎さんは...
風！！
S- So that's it! Yoshiro-san's death by a tornado is a refernce to the Wind!!
[Conan]
縛られて、山のように盛られた土に埋められて撲殺された康司さんは... 山！！
And Kouji-san's death, in which he was burried like a mountain and beaten to death, is a reference to Mountain！！
[Heiji/Conan]
林ん中で口塞がれて木に吊られとった綾華さんは
林！！
Ayaka-san's death, in which her mouth was covered, and she was hanged on a tree, it's a reference to the Forest!!
[Tamefumi]
じゃ、じゃあまさか
Th- Then could it be...
[Hattori]
ああ...
この犯人...
武田信玄になぞらえてころしてるで
Yeah...
This murder is killing like Takeda Shingen...
[Conan]
彼が好んで用いた軍略...
Using the strategy that (Takeda) liked and used...
[Conan]
風林火山にね！！！
The Fuurinkazan, that is!!
