The Files of Young Kindaichi

Ghost of the Abandoned Hospital Murder Case (5x5)

: 29, 2022

Saki takes Kindaichi and Miyuki to an inn owned by his relatives. At the inn, they meet four art college students, who invite Kindaichi and the others to take part in a dare. Saki, who is rooting for Kindaichi and Miyuki to get together, convinces them to participate. The setting for the dare is a dilapidated hospital that was closed down thirty years ago. At the hospital, the art students tell them the tale of Hanako, the ghost of a patient that still dwells in one of the toilet stalls. Anyone who calls out to her is said to be killed. The dare is for each participant to go inside Hanako's stall at the very end of the bathroom, say "Hanako, let's play," then bring back a ping-pong ball from a can to prove that they did the dare. They each get ten minutes to do so. They take turns according to the lot they drew, and one by one, each participant returns. But Ino, who was the last person to go, leaves for his turn and never comes back.
