Ep. 52: The Mist Goblin Legend Murder Case

52

One rainy day, Ran, Conan and Kogoro lose their way home and are about to spend the night in the car when Conan luckily finds a temple. The High Priest Tenei welcomes them and then tells them about the legendary Mist Goblin, an ancient creature possessing immense strength that has been seen around the temple seeking unfortunate victims to hang from the tallest trees in the forest. During dinner, when they hear Kogoro is a detective, the High Priest gets angry and wants him out of the Temple by tomorrow. Sadly the next day, the High Priest is found hanged from the center beam of the Discipline Room, 10 meters above the ground. There are four suspects: Kannen, Mokunen, Tonnen and Shunen who are all monks at the temple. Conan and the investigation team find that the same thing happened 2 years ago: a student was killed, eerily under the same exact circumstances, allegedly by the Mist Goblin. (Source: Wikipedia)
