Inspector Kenmochi, Kindaichi, Miyuki, and Saki go on a fishing tour. Their destination is Seiren Island, from which an eerie sound emanates. The sound is said to be the cry of a siren, a sea creature from Greek mythology. Sirens draw people into the sea with their voices and devour them. In the evening, all the tour guests receive a letter from Dr. Kanno who came on the trip with Professor Kageo, her hospital colleague, and Izumaru, a medical equipment salesman. The tour leader, Nagita, seems to have known the doctors for quite some time, but for whatever reason is set on avoiding them. The letter asks for everyone to meet at a designated time and place. Once everyone arrives, an arrow fired from the sea hits Dr. Kanno between the eyes and kills her. The next day, a tour guest goes fishing and is dragged into the sea. Is this really the work of a siren? Kirigoe, the only inhabitant on the island, tells Kindaichi and the others about the tragic history of Seiren Island during the war.
