[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] declines to walk home from school with classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]]. He arrives at the Mouri Detective Agency to see that without work, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] spent all day drinking beer and watching his favorite popstar, [[Yoko Okino]], on TV. When a client arrives during one of her shows, Kogoro even tries to make them return later, until he realizes that the client is Yoko Okino herself, accompanied by her manager. Kogoro quickly makes himself presentable and hears her concerns about a recent stalker. He agrees to investigate at her apartment, and Ran and Conan tag along. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were watching the agency and also follow, so when the front door opens everyone sees the body on the floor inside.

Before killing himself, Fujie turned up the heat in Yoko's apartment in order to melt the ice, and therefore the evidence.
