Part 1
A murder court case is in session in which Toshio Iwamatsu is suspected of having killed Tadashi Ishigaki after burglarizing his home office. While Iwamatsu admits the break-in, he vehemently denies the murder, even though a slip-up suggests that he might have been acquainted with Ishigaki. The case heralds yet another confrontation between Eri Kisaki, as Iwamatsu's attorney, and Reiko Kujo as the prosecutor. In addition, Sumiko Kobayashi has been selected as one of the jurors. Although nervous, she keeps the court's confidence and refuses to devulge any details about the case to the pestering Detective Boys members Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta.
At first the trial appears to be inconclusive, as there is no pratical evidence of Iwamatsu being guilty of the murder. However, on a crime scene photo Kobayashi-sensei notices that the picture in Ishigaki's office is hanging upside down. Intrigued, Conan, Ran and Kogoro investigate the scene, along with Kujo-sensei, and on the back of the painting they discover bloodstains and an IOU for a large sum of money made out to Iwamatsu, which would provide a motive for murder. But Conan notices two more peculiarities: the imprint of a vase on a nearby cabinet, but with the vase gone, and the strange nervousness of Ishigaki's housekeeper, Yukie Hara.
