Conan, Rachel and Richard have to seek shelter at a temple where a Tengu is rumored to have murdered people. Sure enough, the elder priest is found dead that night hanging from a beam of an incredibly high ceiling. A human could never have reached it, so it must be the mythical Tengu. However, Conan believes otherwise and sets out to solve the mystery.
