Situation

Part 1

Conan, Ran, and Kogoro win a sightseeing trip after Conan solved puzzles for a contest that Ran submitted. While there, Kogoro starts to smoke and is interrupted by Okabe, a laborer of the temple. Ran impresses Okabe with her appreciative comments and is invited, along with Kogoro and Conan, to see the temple. Okabe tells them the legend of the pagoda, where those who have been bad or have evil souls are mysteriously punished by being found hanging from the top of the pagoda. The tour is interrupted by an angry Tan Kai, who Okabe explains is upset because the ODA Company had deceived him into stealing his pagoda to tear it down and build an amusement park in its place. In the evening, Conan, Kogoro, and Ran are invited by Oda to dinner since they are staying at Oda's Hotel and because of Kogoro's famous reputation. Kajimura is there as well, and introduces himself before he is made to leave for Tokyo for business. Shun Kai, Tan Kai's son, visits Oda during their dinner and tells Oda he won't give up getting the pagoda back for his father. The next morning, Okabe wakes everyone up and takes them to the temple again, where Oda is found hanging from the roof as the legend foretold.
