Agasa invites Conan to an antique appraiser to appraise an antique tray that he got from the treasure hunt back then. Meanwhile, Haibara is distrubed by Sera who is observing the house. Conan then explain how Sera was suspicious about her. Subaru then visits the professor, allowing Sera to come inside. Agasa then mentions that the appraiser want to show the antique tray which is said to be worth 100 million yen. At first, Sera doesn't want to come along, so that she can talk to Haibara who seems not interested too, but when Haibara also want to come along, Sera suddenly wants too. They decide to go to the appraiser house using Agasa's car.

Upon arriving, Agasa tries to call the appraiser, Hogen Nishitsu, but there is no response, so he goes inside to search for Nishitsu.

Meanwhile, Nishitsu is showing the real antique tray to someone and telling the person that the tray is not theirs. Hearing that, the person knock out Nishitsu using a spear. Before they manage to retrieve the tray, they hear Agasa's voice.

Manga to anime changes

• In the anime version, there is a flashback to Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy where Sera asked Ran and Sonoko about Haibara. There are also Conan's flashback to The Spirit Detective's Murder and The Wizard of the Ripples. The flashbacks were not in the manga.
• A scene where Sera arriving in front of Agasa's house and Subaru observing her from Kudo residence is shown at the beginning, which wasn't in the manga.
• In the anime, the suspect questioning is held in another room, while in the manga it is held directly on the alley in front of the room where the murder happened.
• In the manga, the housekeepers appeared, but not in the anime. However, their roles are replaced by either Takagi or Chiba.
• Mary's flashback of Kohji Haneda is removed from the anime.
• In the anime, the hearing aid is discovered by the forensics, then it is brought to the crime scene by Chiba. In the manga, the hearing aid was still on the crime scene, it was discovered by Takagi after he stepped on it.
• In the manga, after Conan instructed Takagi to flip back the trays, he asked Takagi about the bloodstain in one of the boxes. In the anime, he asks Chiba instead.

Trivia

• The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun was before Haibara transferred in the manga, while in the anime version she didn't want to come along, so Agasa's statement is wrong.
