Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to the mythical village of Izumo. There they meet Eiko Ezumi, an employee at the Grand Shrine, and learn that she is to marry a rotten businessman, Koji Wanibuchi - founder and president of his own company. Later they meet her childhood friend, Ryosuke Fukuma and it comes to a rocky start when Kogoro confronts at him about the rotten man who tries to steal his love interest and tells him that he should do something about it. The next day, Eiko's fiancé is found dead with his Sword of the Eight-Headed Snake he was carrying goes missing.

Murder
	Location: Inome Cave Victim: Koji Wanibuchi Cause of death: Stab wound Suspects: Eiko Ezumi, Ryosuke Fukuma, Takehiko Fujie, and Kazuya Ishitobi

The police have four suspects, two of whom are Eiko and Fukuma, and other two are Fujie and Ishitobi. Eiko and Fukuma's alibis don't set right with Conan who takes Ran to investigate the alibis.

Part 2

Conan proves that Eiko and Fukuma's alibis were to protect each other. Fukuma finds Eiko's pendant at the crime scene and thinks it was her and Eiko thought it was Fukuma from his alibi that he was where she really was, the train station, but she didn't see him. Then it turns out that Ishitobi and Fujie went to Eiko's home to convince Wanibuchi to spare their businesses. Eiko realizes that her pendant vanished that same night.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

At the temple registry, Conan notices something that helps him figure who the culprit is. Conan tricks Fujie and Kogoro, by impersonating their voices to the other, to meet in front of Hinomisaki tower where Conan tranqs Kogoro and solves the case. Conan (as Kogoro) reveals that from Takehiko Fujie's testimony that Wanibuchi was a snake, was a correlation to the myth of the Eight-Headed Serpent. He used Eiko to cover his tracks with her pendant, and arranged Wanibuchi and Eiko to meet at the cave around 1:00 and 1:30. His trick to cover the time difference was that he went to the castle twice. He falsified his registry time by putting an added time slot, replaced the pen with an erasable, and placed his name after the murder. To prove this all, Fujie put "Narisei City, Tokyo" as an address for a false name, and it turned out that Narisei isn't a part of Tokyo anymore and confesses. Afterwords, Kogoro tries to get his coin stuck in the Izumo Knot to "bring true his wish", only to make all the coins in the knot to fall on him.
