166

Hattori Heiji, bringing along Kazuha, is hired by the rich Takeda family to investigate a series of suspicious suicides that has plagued their mansion in Tottori Prefecture. Along the way, he gets lost but runs into Robert Taylor, a lost American, and Kogoro, Ran, and Conan, who happen to be traveling to meet the same client for the same reason. After arriving at the mansion, they meet the Takeda family, consisting of Yuzo, Yoko, Ryuji, Nobukazu, Sae, Emi, Chie, and housekeeper Shioya. Yuzo explains to them of the "spider curse"; in ancient times, a beautiful woman morphed into a gigantic spider attempting to attack a traveler, it was shot with burning arrows and retreated to the forest where it died. Misa and Kinuyo Takeda both hanged themselves, and 3 years before, Akio hung himself as well. When dinner is finished, Nobukazu disappears, but is found in hanging in a locked room with his corpse entangled in a "spider's web." Later that night, Kazuha finds a pearl on the ground outside and, unbeknowns to her, is being stalked by the killer. (Source: Wikipedia)
