Chu Arai

When a hard-driving copywriter (Hiroyuki Sanada) discovers his comely wife (Keiko Saito) is involved in a scintillating game of strip rock-paper-scissors with some guy clad only in a pair of boxer shorts and Mickey Mouse ears, he is less than happy. When the stranger tries to make a run for it, a fight ensues between the two men, and they accidentally tumble down several flights of a concrete stairwell. One hurried ambulance ride later, the copywriter finds himself in a private teaching hospital equipped with the latest gleaming gizmos. Meanwhile, a young internist (Hiroko Yakushimaru) girds herself for her first emergency room case -- the battered copywriter. After giving a curt bow and a nervous "Good Evening," she accidentally jams a syringe into his bloody wound. Soon the absurdity of their situation, along with their medical misery, binds the two men and their blundering nurse together.

When wealthy pharmaceutical magnate Sahei Inugami dies in 1949, his family gathers for the reading of his will, only to discover that his enormous fortune has been left under extraordinary conditions.

As Kindaichi investigates the Inugami family's tangled relationships and long-hidden secrets, the mysterious return of Sahei's grandson Sukekiyo—whose face is concealed behind a white mask after suffering severe injuries during the war—adds another layer to the deadly mystery.

A big battle between world class phantom thieves unfolds over the worlds largest diamond!
