Part 1
After an unlucky while at the pachinko salon, Kogoro who walks about sees Conan at a small police office near a trainstation. He walks in angrily only to find out that Conan was there only to return a found wallet. As they are about to leave the well-known comedian Rokusuke Dodonpa (realname: Rokusuke Tanigaki) walks in and announces to have murdered his chief.

With Kogoro, Conan, Megure and Takagi at the crimescene, Chiba brings the housekeeper Ueki to the scene. The victim is Hideki Tendou, Dodonpa's manager and president of the production office. The comendian who turned himself in explains to the police that he has entered the office at 11.10 AM, showed off some of his work to his boss to which he replied that it is cheap, to which Dodonpa threatened the president that he would find another agency. This exchange enraged him and he struck Tendou with a bat which was in the room. Journalists try to force their way into the room to gather statements, but they are hastily dismissed by the police. It appears to be a straightfoward case, with the murderer coming forth and admitting his crime, but Conan makes a couple remarks regarding the simplicity of the case and the fact that there appears to be no real motive present. Rokusuke tells the police that he had arrived by train at 11AM, came to the house 10 minutes later and by 11.30 AM he had already turned himself in, which Conan and the train's cameras can attest to, the reason for it outrage was the fact that his manager never signed him up to appear in a variety show on television, even after he asked him for it. The bat was sent to forensics and they confirm that it contains traces of blood and hair from Tendou's body.
Conan wanders around the building searching for clues, meeting the housekeeper who shows Conan that the garden door was left open and that an iron bar was left in the garden, which most likely belonged to a nearby construction site. While Conan takes a look at the bar, he sees Takagi pacing towards the building, who reports that the forensics' conslusion is that the bat, which Dodonpa claimed to have used is in fact no the murder weapon as it doesn't fit the cephalic trauma, which must have been inflicted by a cylindrical-shaped object. After further inquiries, how the bat got tainted with blood and hair, Dodonpa still claims to be the culprit. Conan takes a stroll through the building and asks the housekeeper about other guests which have visited the house today, however he tells him that not many have, in fact, most of them as on vacation, and that besides Dodonpa's visit, Tendou has left the building to buy lunch. The police's investigation yields results as a nearby convenience store proves that he had bought lunch short before 8 AM. Megure questions Dodonpa's whereabouts at 9 AM, to which he states to have visited his former teacher, Izumi Suda, who is now a painter, who lives 1 hour away by car. Chiba and Takagi visit her and confirm that he had indeed visited her. He made a quasi-appointment with her and visited at 9AM sharp (as seen by her analogue clock that hangs next to the door) to return a book he had borrow earlier. Medical forensics have found out that the tempus mortis is 1 hour after he had eaten the purchased food, circa 9 AM which excludes Dodonpa from the position of the culprit. After he is confronted with the evidence, he admits to, in fact, not be the murderer, but also to not know the real culprit and explains that his real motive was to protect Tendou's honour. He claims that, eventhough he was a shady person, who abused his position and extorted people, he really gave his best for his career and pushed him forward, and by admitting guilt for the murder which he did not do, he would keep Tendou's slate clean. After he found his dead body, he took the bad and hit him to make it appear real, without thinking of consequences. Eventhough he's not the culprit, he will still face charges for meddling with the crime scene. With the main suspect now unknown, the investigation is back to almost step one, as Megure orders Chiba and Takagi to find the people who he extorted.
In front of the building journalists try to get a statement from the comedian, who explains the situation and apologizes profoundly. Conan asks a journalist how he found out about the case, since nobody from the outside could've leaked information regarding it, to which he tells him that he had received and anonymous tip about it. Conan worries if there is more to it and if perhaps Dodonpa has tricked them into believing he's innocent.
