Sato is chasing a man named Higashida through the school building where the Detective Boys are in. The man is a murder suspect in the murder of his boss, in whose apartment he was found. After cornering him, she accidentally handcuffs him to her between a toilet handle, trapping them. The man proclaims he is innocent and that needs to get on a plane tomorrow to attend his daughter's wedding. She tells Takagi to solve the case before the time and not to inform the police. The Tokyo police department send out a massive manhunt for the suspect, Sato, and Takagi.

Resolution

The culprit who actually murdered Masami Muranishi was Kitagawa. He was being pressured into a marriage by the victim, so killed her and framed his co-worker.

To do the trick, he first bought grey curtains and bed covers, removed the calendar, and put the cactus tree outside. He took things that are too risky to be caught out, changed the bed covers and curtains, and rearranged the furniture so that it looks like Higashida's room. After he killed Muranishi, he drunken Higashida and brought him back to Muranishi's room, thinking he's at his own room. He then called Higashida up, still drunk, to come and chain the door. After Higashida opened the door and Kitagawa checked everything, Higashida locked the door and went back to sleep. That's why the next day, Higashida was found sleeping on Muranishi's bed with dead body. As for the fingerprints, Kitagawa borrowed Higashida's AV cable to use for the murder and frame him. Since he has a pinch mark on his thumb and a bloodstain was found on the cactus, the police can compare it and use it for evidence. He is soon arrested.

With the help of the Detective Boys, the case is solved. However, the building Sato and Higashida is trapped in is about to be blown up. With all the ruckus of the people, they are unable to warn Agasa who created a special bomb called Tropical Rainbow, a bomb that explodes with all the colors of the rainbow. Conan manages to knock Agasa out before he pushes the button to demolish the building. Sato and Higashida has been saved. Also, Higashida made the flight in time. Takagi is also extremely relieved when he finds out that Sato only sees Inspector Megure as a fatherly figure. The play of the Detective Boys was changed from Kamen Yaiba to a story about the police.
