While visiting the village, the four meet up with the Wakura family, which consists of a father, two sons, and two daughters. But almost immediately, someone ends up impaled atop God's Perch, a shrine devoted to pleasing the giant Otori, and the village is thrown into chaos. Soon after, another victim surfaces and the telephone lines are cut. The wooden bridge leading from the village to the outside world is even destroyed. It soon becomes apparent that the culprit is targeting the Wakura family, and Shinichi investigates. But the mysteries pile up on each other and the impossible murders get even more puzzling.
