I haven't read the story but after poking around I found what
appears to be an abridged translation of Murder In Baloon
Town. It is at Highbeam research. I suppose this is because
the story is used as part of studies into Japanese
literature.
Highbeam is www.highbeam.com.
The link to the story follows. You have to join Highbeam to
read it. You can search archives for free, but to actually
read stuff, you need to pay. ~$100 for a year or ~$20 for a
month.
