The sisters' motive is revenge. Many years ago, Yagi tricked their father and stole the music school that he had built, claiming the ownership for himself, and drove their father into committing suicide. One year ago, the sisters came to this school, pretending to be incompatible with each others to throw off suspicion, in order to commit the murder. However, at the end, Chieko breakdowns as she had to lie to herself and pretend to be someone who hates her sister whom she really cares for. Kiwako, realizing what Chieko went through, admits that perhaps in the end, the revenge was all for nothing except costing them a year of lie and suffering for both of them.

    File 5 - Part 1

    Kogoro and Conan accompany Ran for her shopping spree at the mall in the city. There, they met a beautiful pianist Kiwako Matsumoto who is on the stage performing, which Kogoro flirts with her by giving her a plastic flower from the bush. Though noticing her strange hand movement, Conan is forced to leave with Ran and Kogoro.

    After they returned to the Beika, the three ran into a murder Shigekazu Yagi, the principal of the nearby Music School. Due to the lack of trace of the victim fighting, the police conclude that the murderer must be one of the teachers or employees in the school. The suspicion falls on the discoverer, Masao Ichikawa, but he reveals that the victim himself had made a lot of enemies in the past. Two more suspects, Kiwako the pianist, who is also a teacher at the school, and introverted incompatible her sister Chieko the piano tuner, have solid alibi during the time of the murder, with Kiwako performing at the mall, while Chieko had been tuning a piano at her client's house until shortly before the murder. However, the sisters begin to fight in front of everyone, with Ichikawa confirming that the sisters always fought together at the school due to their different and incompatible personalities. Conan, noticing their actions, concludes that one of the sisters must be the murderer but he has yet to find the trick that she had used.
