A baffling and seemingly impossible murder is committed at a secluded Mount Takao temple. Luckily Conan and Kogoro are on the scene. It is believed that the terrible Mist Goblin (Kiritengu), a creature with super strength, haunts the temple. Conan doesn't believe in goblins, but he may have to change his tune as the evidence suggests that the Mist Goblin may be more than just a legend.
