47

Following a day of shooting a film, Reika Hayami and her manager Yasuyuki Yasuoga are kidnapped by someone calling himself the Puppet Clown. The kidnapper demands a huge ransom from the film director Youko Kafuraki and the ransom note also specifies that Hajime Kindaichi must deliver the money. Director Youko Kafuraki refuses to pay the ransom, so Veteran actress Reiko Mitamura offers to pay herself. Inspector Isamu Kenmochi appears in disguise, having been called by Kafuraki. Hajime is told to take the money to a phone booth at Nakahara Station, but when he gets there he receives another phone call with a cryptic message to find the next location. (Source: Wikipedia)
