@Alaa:

That surely was a mistranslation. Vermouth in Japan is commonly known as "Wermut" which is pronounced "Berumotto" and led to some confusions about how to translate her name before DCTP began subbing.

@Spimer

Got it thankx

@ATEM:

Spoiler:

There's the possibility yet she feels too clumsy in the first place. Wanting to search the worn down warehouse for chalk IS suspicious, though. Why not go buy it at a store?

Spoiler:

I thought the same she can why to send students to such a place , simply borrow one from another teacher ..her way reminded me of eisuke anyway this makes her much more suspicious and that she is after something either good or bad ...

File 966: Scytale Cypher

The day after after the trick box case Conan tells the DBs that Kid disguised as Agasa (and wrapped the real one in bamboo inside of a toilet stall).

Then homeroom teacher Kobayashi brings along a teacher with glasses: the new deputy homeroom teacher, 10 years older than Kobayashi: Wakasa Rumi.

When she bows she hits the forehead with the teacher's desk and doesn't seem too reliable.

Haibara suggests to Conan than since there have been several new transfer students the school might've decided to increase the staff.

At lunch time Rumi asks Conan & co. to lend her a hand: she wanted to draw the lines for the PE class in the school yard but turns out there are no more chalks and there are no spares so she wants them to look for chalks in an old warehouse that seems like the type of place where a ghost would appear.

A mere glance tells you it's falling apart and it's never been locked ever since Shinichi was an elementary student: back then the headmaster said at the graduation ceremony that they wouldn't tore it apart: he used Feng Shui as an argument to not to do so.

The warehouse seems to wear down even as Conan explains this to the others. He tries to motivate the others to go in but when he graps the handle a voice calls out and tells him not to touch that: Conan and the others ignore that since they were ordered to go in yet turns out it's dark on the inside.

The DBs use the flashlights Agasa gave them to search for the chalks: they find a worn down timetable and a door leading to the basement: someone's opened it recently because some rust is missing from the doorknob. When the DBs lift the door they find a corpse become skeleton below the stairs.

They have Rumi report this to the police through her cellphone and in the meanwhile they inspect the corpse: Conan estimes it's been between 5 and 10 years this person died and holds something that looks like a headband on the right hand: it's got cocked writing that makes it hard to figure out anything from it.

Conan recalls than when he and Ran were elementary students Ran found this "magical pimp" and it's probable that the text written on it was on Chinese.

The headband was linked to the doorknob so when Conan tries to untie to show it to Rumi a mysterious old man shows up and warns them:

"You musn't touch that, you know? Because it's the magical pimp that... keeps a frightening monster sealed into this storeroom..."

Shiratori and the police come to the warehouse: it's estimated the corpse is from over 10 years ago: it doesn't have anything that helps ID it, and it's estimated that it surely was trying to take anything when they slipped and fell down thus diying. The police decide this isn't a case so they retrieve the corpse and leave: the headmaster then admits the police came to the school 10 years ago.

A group of 4 robbers broke into a wealthy person's home and robbed there as well as killing the owner: they stole gold bars estimated to be worth 200 million yen (aprox 20 million USD) and ran away. Someone back then reported seeing mysterious figures coming in and out of Teitan Elementary's precint so the police came to investigate that.

The headmaster says that no-one knows what became of the 4 robbers: they might be living somewhere cowering in fear or maybe they are about to die.

Conan then says that the pimp's writing might be a Scytale Cypher: you write a unique text in a string tied to a stick and when you undo the string you get a row of unknown letters: the police have retrieved it but Conan took a photo of it with the phone and asked Haibara to have it be printed.

They wait for Haibara to return and, when she does, they find out that when they try to wrap the string around the stick they get something undecipherable instead of what they expected: maybe the stick's length needs to be longer or maybe there's something to it...

Side-note: "They fail at deciphering the Scytale Encryption!? And, say... Isn't this teacher (Rumi) suspicious!?"

Thanks Spimer ^^

Spoiler:

Didn't you guys notice that Shinichi's name was mentioned several times in the recent chapters? foreshadowing?

Could be but at the same time it could mean nothing.

@Spimer :

Spoiler:

I'm missing something. As far as I know, Rum appears in the movie 20, so it would be easily recognizable if someone posted a photo of this Wakasa girl/guy(?). Is there any information (like for example, rum in the movie wouldn't affect the storyline or something) I don't have? -- Already clarified

Spoiler:

Clumsy, young, involved in a strange situation, dragging conan to an uncommon case... Makes me think of only one person...

Spoiler:

Afaik, from all the spoilers I have read, Rum only appears via a scrambled voice, so we don't have a face nor a voice to go with.

Spoiler:

I think Rumi is not RUM because there was no reason for Rum to disguise as elementary teacher. Maybe she is the one who discovered the body first but not told anyone about the body. But i want to see her looks. If she is pretty then it's okay

@spimer

Spoiler: movie spoiler

rum not showing his/her face in the movie

like what serinox said.

That's very sad to know... From the trailers I thought it was that girl

@yeib:

Please refrain from multi-posting, edit your posts and combine them into one.

Spoiler:

It was obvious that the "amnesiac woman" stood out too much to be RUM. And besides, Haibara already gave us 3 descriptions and all of them were men which fits with the BO's codename system.

Well, what also makes me think so is when Ran got the book "13 ways to get a detective boyfriend".

Technically, the rule is:

please continue to use spoiler boxes for the first seven days in which a file is available.

Why we do this? Well, because some people want to wait for the file to be in English until they want to discuss its contents. Unfortunately by that time, the next file might have its spoilers revealed already, so for the sake of those who don't want to be spoiled by the infamous Text Spoilers (or any other form of spoilers that are not the file in English) but still want to be able to look in the thread and share their thoughts, we limit those discussions to the spoiler boxes (and again, for seven days)

If you feel like you have a better idea for a system which will not spoil those who don't want to be spoiled, you can suggest it in this board

That said, looking at your posts history, you've been here since March, and this was only your fifth post. In fact, this was your first post ever in one of these discussion threads (and besides complaining, there wasn't much to it). Not to necessarily dismiss any idea you may have for an alternate system (if you have any such ideas besides "don't read the thread if you don't want to get spoiled"), but based on your activity, surely our current system shouldn't be much of a bother for you.

I don't wish this topic to be derailed, so please don't make a followup post to this one. I merely wanted to clarify why we do what we do. If anyone has other ideas, as said, they can post it in the Issues & Suggestions board.
