Resolution

Kazuha is kidnapped by the murderer because Heiji is too injured to do anything. The only way Kazuha will be let go is if Heiji himself goes and rescues her.

Conan finds a way to turn back into Shinichi and disguises himself to look like Heiji in order to rescue Kazuha. However, the rescue goes wrong and Shinichi ends up unable to fight because the antidote was only temporary. The real Heiji shows up and fights the men that are coming after him and Kazuha.

Shinichi runs into Ran while and has to use his tranquilizer watch to knock her out as he turns back into Conan. He goes back to the scene of the fight where Heiji and the culprit are fighting on a roof. The now-released Kazuha and Conan take out a few of their foes and Conan kicks a soccer ball at Heiji's opponent, giving Heiji an opportunity to win the fight.

In the very end, Heiji realizes Kazuha was his first love when she starts singing the song that he heard the girl at the temple sing back when he was young and also tells him about the time she went to Kyoto with him. Ran also learns that Shinichi being there with her wasn't a dream when Conan uses a trick to make the sweat she wiped off Shinichi's face appear on her handkerchief.
