Resolution
As it turns out, the evil priestess Yasuyo Niwano set up the entire situation along with the Arisato Construction Group in order to gain access to her temple's construction scroll hidden inside a giant safe, with her ultimate goal is to get her temple be declared as National Monument and gains fame and fortune from it. After she had lured Kaito to the exhibition with a fake jewel, Niwano transported Kaito and Aoko to her temple with a giant truck, end them in through the hidden passage way and had them work through the contructed puzzle rooms until they reached the safe room, believing it to be the way out. Unfortunately for Niwano, the scroll's content had long been destroyed thanks to various factors, rendering her entire scheme worthless. Kaito then flees the scene when Inspector Nakamori and Hakuba arrive, but not before leaving a voice record on Aoko's phone containing Niwano's voice which proves her intention to finish them off once the puzzles are solved.
Aftermath
Nonchalant Lupin
As a bonus, the volume included the 1987 one-shot manga Nonchalant Lupin (さりげなくルパン ,Sarigenaku Rupan?), which was the prototype story for the Magic Kaito series. This story had previously been included in one version of Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories.
Plot
While sneaking around the school late at night searching for the answers to the final exam, Kaito Lupin stumbles across a list for "Illegally Accepted Students" for his school. To prevent a scandal from happening and to put Kaito in his place once and for all, Headmaster Tsubura teams up with the Gurikouji Financial Group's Kenzou Gurikouji. Gurikouji is currently being investigated by Aoko's father, Inspector Holmes, regarding the group's drug trafficking and gun smuggling. Tsubura and Gurikouji intend to trick Kaito's friend, Aoko Holmes, into believing Kaito might be expelled from school and blackmail her into marrying Gurikouji's son, Ken. By doing this, Gurikouji would gain control over police investigations and Tsubura would finally remove Lupin from the school. Aoko reluctantly agrees and it's up to Kaito to crash the wedding and steal her away somehow.

Nagekomi Temple
The Nagekomi Temple associated with the Sandei Shrine is modeled after the Nageire Temple in Gosho Aoyama's home prefecture Tottori, as was also confirmed by him in his comments accompanying these chapters. The in-story explanation is that the Nagekomi was directly built after the image of the Nageire (which is denied by the priestess Niwano Yasuyo).
National Museum of Nature and Science
The unnamed museum from the very beginning of chapter 31 and the whole of "Sun Halo" (chapter 34-36) is modeled after the National Museum of Nature and Science in the northeast of Ueno Park in the district of the same name, Ueno, in the Taitō Ward of Tokyo.

Route of the truck in "Sun Halo"
The route the truck takes and Saguru Hakuba re-creates thanks to the SNS messages in chapter 35 leads through a couple of real places:
- Futaba Town(jp) (Itabashi Ward, 3 hours ago)
- Nishihara Town(jp) (Shibuya Ward, 2 hours ago)
- Miyazawa Town (part of Akishima, 1 hour ago)
- Nishiki Town (part of Tachikawa, 1 hour ago)
- Hinode Town (57 minutes ago)
He concludes that the next turn must be to Lake Sagami or Okutama, being correct with the latter, where Kaitou Kid and Aoko Nakamori are kept in a temple in the Okutama Mountains.
Unnamed skyscraper from "Midnight Crow"
The skyscraper in Tokyo where Kaitou Kid and Kaitou Corbeau have their duel with the organization in is modeled after the look of the Yokkaichi Portbuilding (四日市港ポートビル) in the City of Yokkaichi, in reality located in the Mie Prefecture.

Cameos
- Officer Ohshima is, like the Ohshima Newspaper and the Ohshima Art Museum before in Magic Kaito, named after a past editor of Gosho Aoyama.
- Gosho Aoyama, his assistants Eiichi Yamagishi, Yutaka Tani, Masaki Negishi, Keiji Asou, as well as his so far unnamed female assistant, appear in the omake of this volume as "director" and "staff" of the meta-fictional film crew producing Magic Kaito. Yamagishi, Tani, Negishi and Asou also appear in the classroom of Nonchalant Lupin as a kitsune-like being, a mouse or rat with glasses, an animal resembling a dog or bear and a caricature of himself respectively. The latter also lent his name to the school physician who appears early during that one shot.

Yaiba
- Aoko Nakamori's mobile phone in chapter 31-36 is an ONY brand smartphone model. The name originally comes from Yaiba and was a play on words with SONY and "Oni", since the products were created under the possessed Takeshi Onimaru's reign over Japan, during which he and his minions created some "demonized" versions of real companies and brands and were later taken over to Magic Kaito, Detective Conan and their derivatives.
