Kogoro Mouri was hired by the Torada (虎田 ?) family in Nagano prefecture to investigate the death of their son, Yoshio Torada (虎田 義郎 Torada Yoshio?), who was found dead after being carried off by a tornado, with a centipede placed mysteriously by his corpse. Hattori Heiji was sought by the Tatsuo (龍尾 ?) family to investigate the death of their son, Yasuji Tatsuo (龍尾 康司 Tatsuo Yasuji?), who was found dead, buried to his neck in the ground, also with a centipede next to his body. The Torada and the Tatsuo clans had a longstanding feud, though no one could recall the original nature of the quarrel. Both families have a tradition of admiring Takeda Shingen.The younger generations of both clans went to school together and got along well with each other. They even worked together to hunt for the legendary lost treasure of Takeda Shingen. When the wife of Shigetsugu Tatsuo (龍尾 繁次 Tatsuo Shigetsugu?) was found hung from a tree in the forest, Conan and Heiji realised the killer(s) could be emulating the characters Wind (Tornado), Mountain (Earth), and Forest found in three of the four war-banners of Takeda Shingen. They surmised that there would be another death related to the fourth character, Fire. Furthermore, the centipede was the historical insignia used on identification flags carried by messengers of Takeda Shingen. All the murders seemed related to a death six years before of Kaino Haruto (甲斐 玄人 ?), a policeman and master of traditional skill of horseback archery. The local village maintained that tradition and selected an annual champion from a competition to perform a ceremonial target shooting for divine blessings for good harvest. A new police chief, Kansuke Yamato, was introduced in this story-arc.
