Miyuki receives an invitation from her friend Hikune Youhei to the themed inn called "Ruins", located in a virtual ghost town haunted by the legend of a vampire. However, what Kindaichi had originally dismissed as spooky rumours with no basis became horribly real when their fellow guests staying at the inn are found dead one by one, with their bodies drained of blood and wounds in their necks that resembled vampire bites

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kamenashi's second Kindaichi film after taking over from Tsuyoshi Domoto; fans debated whether his scruffier take matched the manga's slacker energy.
The 'virtual ghost town' setting references Japan's abandoned mining towns, tapping into real 2000s anxieties about rural collapse and forgotten histories.
