Santa takes Conan to the house of the man where a White-eye figurine was placed. Conan reads a note and realizes the culprit is at an abandoned pet store. At the store, Conan confronts the culprit, '''Toshihiko Yamanaka''', and reveals that Yamanaka was intending to sell the endangered Black-eye in the black market and kidnapped Santa's mother when he perceived the White-eye figurine to be a threat. Conan clears the misunderstanding and explains Santa gave him the figurine in as a friendly gesture; Yamanaka realizes he did a horrible thing, releases Shigeko and prepares to turn himself in.

The dealer '''Kurata''', whom Yamanaka has organized a meeting with, doesn't share the idea. He attempts to steal the bird ''and'' takes little Santa as a hostage; Conan's sleeping darts are stuck in his watch so he cannot 'shoot' Kurata, but when the baby bites his kidnapper's arm and is released, Conan takes the chance to use his Power Shoes and kick a ball into him, knocking out and apprehending the dealer.

At the store, Conan confronts the culprit, '''Toshihiko Yamanaka'''. He reveals that Yamanaka was intending to sell a Black-eye living bird that he found, an extremely rare bird worth thousands of yens, in the black market; he kidnapped Santa's mother when he perceived the White-eye figurine to be a threat ''and'' believed that she and Santa were aware of the bird's existence.

Yamanaka says that his pet store was broke and he was so desperate that, when he found the black-eyed bird and captured it, he thought he'd be able to sell it well and clear his debts. He adds that he was sure Shigeko and Santa had realised what was going on, and Santa giving him the black-eye figurine was a warning from them. Conan clears the misunderstanding and explains Santa gave him the figurine in as a friendly gesture, since he's a fan of Santa as in ''Santa Claus'' and loves giving things to everyone, Yamanaka realizes he did a horrible thing, releases Shigeko and prepares to turn himself in, saying that he will be a good man from then on and become worthy of little Santa's friendship.

The dealer '''Kurata''', whom Yamanaka has organized a meeting with, doesn't share the idea. When Conan asks Yamanaka why did he push Shigeko down the stairs, he says it wasn't him... Then, Kurata attempts to steal the bird ''and'' takes little Santa as a hostage. Conan's sleeping darts are stuck in his watch after having struggled with Yamanaka earlier so he cannot 'tranquilize' Kurata, who gets ready to escape dfespite poor Shigeko's tearful pleas and Yamanaka trying to interfere... but when the baby bites his kidnapper's arm and is released, Conan takes the chance to use his Power Shoes and kick a ball into him, knocking out and apprehending the dealer.
  
 
Later that day, it is revealed that Santa's real name is Haruka Ishikawa and that '''she''' is a little girl. Ran gives Haruka a hair ribbon and says she knew because Haruka hugged her at the start of the episode, and she did it in a way that's more typical of baby girls (with their whole bodies) than of baby boys (only with their arms). Conan also knows by that point... but because he had to go into the bathroom with little Haruka.

Situation

Shigeko Ishikawa is being stalked by an unknown man. While Kogoro investigates, Conan is forced to watch over her two-year-old son nicknamed Santa. For his very young age, however, Santa turns out to be very hyperactive and sociable, so Conan has difficulties keeping up with such a child.

Ishikawa is later kidnapped by the unknown man and Conan investigates Santa's home in order to search for clues.
