Part 1
A morning in the dreary-but-peaceful forest kicked off with a customary morning radio - Moriyama Shu's Morning Frolic. The habby machine still managed to work despite its treacherous vicinity; it was being wrapped upon one of the trees: with an alarm clock assigned to six o'clock straight. If it was propagating the radio programme, six o'clock must have arrived. Whilst broadcasting the programme, the machine seemed to possess a built-in feature that automatically distributed some bird food at that time. With the food loaded onto the plate, two birds who were resting on the branches swiftly dashed towards it, seizing the first pleasure of the day. Just as the two birds were rejoicing over their "breakfast", an atrocious crow cropped up, brutally blasting them away. For some reason, the excessive force exerted by the crow on the plate of that radio machine led the plank to fall apart - this activated a pulley-like wheel, resulting in several dominoes to fall, overalpping each other; afterwards, it pushed a tiny marble to slide down a pre-prepared track, whith all those momentum the ball gather along the long journing upon the track, it eventually rebounded at a metal can, bumping into a glass bottle which was attached with a rope; this then triggered a brick to be thrown onto a platform made out of wooden block, thereupon, the timber that were deposited on top of that platform fell accordingly, landing exactly at a lever device; finally, the axe that was originally quiet sitting on it ejected with a considerably amount of force. After all of those gimmicks, parts of a chimeny fell abruptly from a nearby villa, this was followed by a tragic scream.
Coincidentally, the Mouri family were lingering around the district as well. They were there because of Kogoro's affair: a client of his requested him to ascertain the identity of the intruder who has been on the rampage around his house; however, they managed to solve the mystery effortlessly, and the truth turned out to be that the intruder was merely a raccoon. As a result, they were on their way home, conversing jovially. After some minutes, they noticed Inspector Yamamura within a few miles, standing beside a huge mansion. Right after he saw them, he instantly waved at them. Kogoro thus inquired of him about what case he was investigating, and Yamamura responded that there seemed to be an accident that happened a while ago, with the outcome of having one deceased, a middle-aged man who got struck down by the fallen chimeny pipe, when he was drinking coffee on the deck of the mansion. Ran remarked that she has seen the victim already on TV, and Yamamura uttered that the victim is named Kohei Inoue, who is the chairman of the chain restaurant "Cheom Cheom". Even though the situation at the crime scene made several people, including Yamamura, believe that the victim lost his life in a sorrow accident, but Conan, who has perceptive insight, immediately realised that it was actually a murder! He then pointed out that at one end of the chimenry pipe, which took Inoue's life, the interface was apparently dented. With this detail recognised, he surmised that it must have been caused by mankind.
By adjusting the perspective to the case, Inspector Yamamura thus advanced on investigating some acquaintances of Inoue, and found out that there were four people who lived in the same mansion: Fuma Tanaka, the president and CEO of "Cheom Cheom"; Norihiro Shimada, an investor who invested on "Cheom Cheom"; Arata Kawamoto, another investor who has been friends with the victim since school; Nanako Inoue, the victim's second wife, meanwhile the person who discovered the body. In addition, everyone that Yamamura mentioned possessed an alibi, except Inoue's wife.
After hearing about the possible suspects in the case, Conan decided to look for some clues. He utilised his criminal tracking glasses and glanced around: he then noticed a wooden house with intricate types of objects and determined that it must have something to do with the crime. He also urged the others to tag along; as they arrived there, they saw the radio machine along with that fallen plate. Conan contemplated and gazed at the alarm display with the time "6AM". As Ran questioned him about the situation, he explained to her about the notion of the "Rube Goldberg Machine", which was basically a set of mechanisms that liaise altogether, performing a simple action but in countless different steps and fashions. He then deduced that most likely, the culprit also used this type of machine to set up this automated murder.

Trivia
- The "Rube Goldberg machine" referred to in the title originates from the American cartoonist, Rube Goldberg's works. This term manifests mechanical combinations that are designed to be overly complex and complete simple actions in a circuitous manner.
- The convoluted mechanical tricks rendered as the main theme of the case, in fact resemble a type of mystery school named Shinhonkaku Detective Fiction (新本格派推理):
- The case character Norihiro Shimada (島田 典弘)'s surname, was obviously inspired by the renowned mystery writer, Soji Shimada (島田 荘司 Shimada Sōji), a mystery writer who has written several Shinhonkaku mysteries;
- Likewise, the guest speaker that appeared on the radio goes by the name "Mitarashi Dango-san". The surname Mitarashi is exactly the surname of the fictional detective that Soji Shimada created, named Kiyoshi Mitarai (御手洗 潔 Mitarai Kiyoshi).
- Just like other episodes written by Yamatoya, many of the names featured in this episode have some relation to horse racing
- Norihiro Shimada (島田 典弘) comes from Japanese jockey Norihiro Yokoyama (横山 典弘 Yokoyama Norihiro);
- Fuma Tanaka (田中 風馬) comes from Japanese jockey Fuma Matsuwaka (松若 風馬 Matsuwaka Fūma);
- Arata Kawamoto (河本 新) comes from Japanese jockey Arata Saito (斎藤 新 Saitō Arata);
- Manami Teshima (手島 まなみ) comes from Japanese jockey Manami Nagashima (永島 まなみ Nagashima Manami);
- Nanako Inoue (井上 奈々子) comes from Japanese jockey Nanako Fujita (藤田 菜七子 Fujita Nanako);
- Kohei Inoue (井上 浩平) comes from Japanese jockey Kohei Matsuyama (松山 弘平 Matsuyama Kōhei).
- "Morning Frolic" radio show, "Lokomaikai" club, and "Taigen" investment fund, all are names of horse.
- The children program mentioned by Conan refers to PythagoraSwitch, an educational program produced by NHK. During the beginning and ending of each episode, and between each segment, there are Pythagorean Devices (ピタゴラ装置 Pitagora Sōchi). "Pythagorean device" is the equivalent Japanese colloquialism for the American "Rube Goldberg machine".
- During the joke card segment, Kogoro is about to say "Pythagorean device", but Conan stopped him.
