Mouri is hired to stalk a man. He follows the man and finds out his attempted murder on a woman.

Kogoro goes undercover at Beika Sports Center: stalking a man named Shoichiro Hitomi who is negotiating with a rich man by the swimming pool. After the negotiation failed, the man enters the sport club's restroom while Kogoro receives a call from Ran and Conan. The two informs him that since he won't be back for the lunch, they decide to go and have "cheap and unlimited buffet" by themselves at Viking which causes Kogoro's stomach to growl. At the same time, the target exits the restroom with a serious expression, worrying Kogoro. He follows Mr. Hitomi to Beika Hotel and witnesses him calling someone with a payphone. However, he runs into Ran and Conan who informs him that they are having lunch at the hotel. The three spy on Mr.Hitomi who repeatedly glances at the reception when a young woman asks the employee if he has a package from a man named Manabu Anzai. Later, as Ran and Conan are eating in the restaurant, they witness Mr.Hitomi falling off the building.

The police soon arrive and take away Mr. Hitomi's body. Kogoro summarizes the situation before the accident to Megure: he was riding the elevator with the victim and Minamizato when the victim left on the ninth floor. Kogoro quickly followed him to the stairway and witnessed him forcing his way into Minamizato's room and attacked her. He broke the door down and saw the unconscious Minamizato on the floor and Hitomi attempting to escape through the balcony. The man slipped, and fell to his doom.

Megure interrogates Minamizawa who denies having any connection with her attacker/the victim. They find out that the last person who made a call with the victim was his sister-in-law, Kanako, at 11:20 AM. Afterwards, Minamizawa asks the group to leave. At the lobby, Conan points out that despite having a mobile phone, the victim was using the payphone in the hotel prior to the accident.

They decided they are two separate cases but Conan is suspicious as the man attacked the woman whom has no relationship to him.

Kogoro reveals that the person who hired him was Takehiko Hitomi as he suspected that his twin brother was impersonating as him and engaging in illegal businesses. He also found out that the man had a huge amount of debt. Although they think that the two cases are separate, they decide to head to the site of murder. The crime scene showed that the murderer broke in through the window to rob the house, and that the house key is a special one that cannot be duplicated easily. They interrogate Kanako, who informs them that she was at Beika City before returning home and witnessing her murdered husband. Kanako reveals that she gave her brother-in-law her spare key and her phone number as she wants them to reconcile after the two fought due to their father's will of leaving the company to Takehiko. She also reveals that she was called to Beika Station by Shoichiro at 12:30 PM but he never came. From the information, they conclude that the two cases are not connected and are just synchronicity. However, Conan still has his doubts about the attempted murder of Minamizato and her unknown connection with the two victims.

At the hospital, Minamizato reveals that she was in a relationship with Anzai and they were thinking about marriage. However, she lost all contact with him half a year ago after giving him a huge amount of cash and came to Tokyo to find out about his whereabouts after some people told her that he was last seen in Tokyo. Kogoro concludes that the man must be a gold digger who is only after her money. Also, the picture of Anzai matches with the man Kogoro spotted in the Sports Centre where he tailed Shoichiro, which the fitness instructor reveals that the man also went under another alias known as Tanizaki. They also witness him with another woman who is clearly targeted by him for her money. With this revelation, Conan finally connects the relationships of all the people involved with the two cases and begins the deduction.

<spoiler>The murder of Takehiko was committed by '''Manabu Anzai''', whose real name is later revealed to be '''Chiezo Negura''' in a newspaper, who coerced Shoichiro into an exchange murder. The plan was for Shoichiro to call Kanako's outside to create an alibi for himself after he murdered Minamizato, while Anzai used Takehiko's house key received from Shoichiro to enter the house and kill him. Afterwards, he broke the window in the study to conceal the crime as a robbery. However, Shoichiro relented and failed in his part which forced him to carry out the act himself. His motive is to silence Minamizato before his gold digger history is exposed.
It is revealed that Shoichiro and Takehiko are twin brothers and after investigating, Kanako, Takehiko's wife is secretly helping Shoichiro. The one who attacked Kaoru was her "boyfriend". Conan figured it out and the one who's responsible for all this is none other than '''Manabu Anzai'''. His real name is Chiezo Negura.

* The idea of murder exchange is based on the movie ''Strangers on a Train'', which is a 1951 American psychological thriller film noir. The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, a young tennis player and a charming psychopath. The psychopath suggests that because they each want to "get rid" of someone, they should "exchange" murders, and that way neither will be caught. The psychopath commits the first murder, then tries to force the tennis player to complete the bargain.

Minamizato is almost murdered by a man in sunglasses but is saved due to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan's intervention. Unfortunately, Ran's kick misses the man and knocks out Kogoro instead. The man uses the commotion to kick Ran onto Conan before escaping.

At the hospital, Minamizato reveals that she was in a relationship with Anzai and they were thinking about marriage. However, she lost all contact with him half a year ago after giving him a huge amount of cash and came to Tokyo to find out about his whereabouts after some people told her that he was last seen in Tokyo. Kogoro concludes that the man must be a gold digger who is only after her money. Also, the picture of Anzai matches with the man Kogoro spotted in the Sports Centre where he tailed Shoichiro, which the fitness instructor reveals that the man also went under another alias known as Tanizaki. They also witness him with another woman who is clearly targeted by him for her money. With this revelation, Conan finally connects the relationships of all the people involved with the two cases and begins the deduction.
