Conan has to deal with some stiff competition when Heiji Hattori, heralded as the "Great Detective of the West", comes looking for Shinichi Kudo to prove which of them is the best detective. He shows up all of a sudden in the Mouri Agency (since he suspects Shinichi has a hand on Kogoro's recent success ''and'' Sonoko told him where it was located), bringing a nice Osakan liquor as a gift to Kogoro (so he'll let him stay overnight), and delivers the challenge, which will take place regarding the request coming from a rich woman: to make a background check on her future daughter-in-law, a young woman who's simply too good to be true so she could actually be a bitch in sheep's clothing or a gold digger in disguise.

<spoiler>The killer is '''Kimie Tsujimura'''. She murdered her husband by first drugging him with sleeping pills before going to the Mouri agency, then pretending to try waking him up... but actually poisoning him with a poison-imbibed needle that she hid inside a locket attached to her keychain. Which looked exactly like a locket/keychain that Tsujimura himself had. She also tried to stage a locked room mystery with Tsujimua's locket keychain and several fishing line threads specifically placed all around the home, to make everyone believe that Tsujimura had died thanks to a trick that was triggered right when they opened the door to his studio; in reality, he was alive but asleep due to the drugs, so Kimie secretly prickled him to his death in front of everyone.

Kimie's reasons to murder her husband were the following: twenty years before she was was happily married to a man named Kenji Yamashiro and they had a little daughter, Yukiko. Tsujimura, who was in love with Kimie and jealous of Yamashiro, staged a cruel trap to accuse him of being involved in a fraud; Yamashiro was sent to jail and died there soon, then Tsujimura courted the extremely distraught Kimie, and as soon as she was widowed he divorced his wife/Takayoshi's mother and convinced Kimie to marry him. Kimie was unaware of this and accepted, since she was completely devastated and had to give up her child's custody to Yamashiro's family.

Twenty years after the "fraud", the adult Takayoshi brought a picture of a girl he had fallen for and intended to marry: she happened to be Yukiko, Kimie and Yamashiro's daughter, who had grown to look almost exactly like Kimie save for her hair/color scheme. (As seen in an old picture of the just-married Kimie and Tsujimura, which the latter kept in his studio). Tsujimura realised who the girl was, was completely horrified and started screaming at his son for wanting to marry "that man's child". Kimie also recognized Yukiko in the picture and started to get suspicious, then Tsujimura revealed the truth to her. So she decided to kill her "husband" to get at him, using her visit to Kogoro to ask about Yukiko's background as an excuse that would provide her for an alibi.

(As a corollary, Toshimitsu Tsujimura had helped his son Isao in his plan to "steal" Kimie from Yamashiro and send him to jail. He had repented long ago, though, and he wanted to take the blame for his son's murder as a way to atone for his terrible sin; therefore, when Heiji said that he was the culprit, he willingly confessed for a crim he hadn't commited, trying to wash away for his part in ruining the Yamashiro family's lives.)

Kimie recognizes that she is the killer, reveals the above mentioned motivations and surrenders to the police without any resistence. Before being taken away, she begs Takayoshi to take good care of her daughter Yukiko, and Takayoshi promises to do so as Yukiko cries for all of this.

Then, Shinichi almost screams Ran's name before fully shrinking back.

    Translation changes

    Anime

    • In the English Dub, after the accusation of spying on Ran, Shinichi states that he's a detective and that's what he does, whereas in the Japanese version he states that he can tell how Ran is doing by hearing her voice.
    • In the English Dub, Heiji drops subtle hints that the two men who poisoned him were Gin and Vodka, whereas in the Japanese version he merely acknowledges Shinichi as a worthy rival. The dub change presumably was made to fix a story problem for the upcoming Game Company Murder Case (see that page's continuity error).
    • In the English Dub, Heiji also, in the same lines about Gin and Vodka, alludes to the fact that he already knows that Shinichi is Conan, despite the fact that he doesn't deduce this until his next appearance in Holmes Freak Murder Case.
    • The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:
    • Kimie Tsujimura - Camiel Tarrington
    • Fumio Koike - Franklin Keene
    • Toshimitsu Tsujimura - Theodore Tarrington
    • Isao Tsujimura - Rudy Tarrington
    • Takayoshi Tsujimura - Thomas Tarrington
    • Yukiko Katsuragi - Jasmine Kassleschultz
    • Kenji Yamashiro - Mori Yasmeen
    • This was the final episode aired by Adult Swim.
