Situation
One day, Ayumi is sick. She takes a day off from school and while she naps, her mother nips out from their apartment to do some work. When Ayumi wakes up, she hears noises from the front door. Excitedly, she runs to the door to surprise her mother as she comes in, but when she peeks through the peep hole, she finds that it isnt her mother at all, but a strange man with a ponytail fiddling with the lock. Terrified, she runs for the phone and tries to call the police, but her fingers are too slow, and as the door handle turns, in a frenzy of motion, she dives for a hiding spot and drops the phone in the process.
The robber, for now that's what we know he is, enters and immediately sees the phone lying on the floor. It's very suspicious, why would anyone with such a well-kept home, drop their phone on the ground and not bother to pick it up? And so, he stalks through the house, looking around for someone that could be hiding, and then he sees it! The sleeve of a yellow shirt caught outside of a closed closet, a hiding place cliched because it is so great for hiding people in. With the malicious smile of a motherless murderer, stimulated by the idea of killing little children, he throws open the closet door and...

Resolution
Ayumi is not in the aforementioned closet. The scowl returns to the poor depraved robber's face and as he storms out of the room in his clunking great boots, we see Ayumi hiding cleverly under the bed.
She relocates to a closet, to afford herself more materials to communicate a secret voiceless message to Conan and as Mitsuhiko and Genta discuss their plan to surprise visit Ayumi at her apartment, she alerts Conan through his Detective Boys' badge. They hear the Yaiba clock declaiming the date and time and then, using a clever system of taps, she communicates that she can't talk, nothing is wrong and she was essentially prank-walkie-talkie-ing them.
Everyone is reassured - except for Conan. He thinks that prank-walkie-talkie-ing people is out of character for Ayumi and would be more of the kind of idiotic activity that Genta or Mitsuhiko would participate in. Ai picks up on his worry for Ayumi, and she provides the key to the message that Ayumi was really communicating before being rudely interrupted by that despicable mannerless barbarian.
Conan yells for the teacher to call the police and then runs out of the classroom for Ayumi's house. So much time has passed since her message to them, that he fears that the robber will soon be killing and leaving the apartment. He recalls that the murdering robber in the paper had only killed just before he left and so he calls under the guise of Dr Agasa and offers to return 5, 000, 000 yen. Thats FIVE MILLION YEN. Or so the materialistic robber thinks, and filled with the lucre of the opportunity, he decides to wait for this "old man".
True to form, Conan enters the apartment nonchalantly with a soccer ball and threatens the robber with it. Being a naturally violent little fellow, Conan kicks the ball very hard at the helmeted head of the robber. BUT, the head of the robber was helmeted! And so, the poor sod climbs to his feet for another go. This time, the rest of the Dectective Boys take the opportunity to abuse the pitiful bugger, Ai spraying white foam into his eyes and then Mitsuhiko and Genta sitting on him. He must have felt that one.
Dr Agasa tells the kids not to do anymore reckless stuff like running into an apartment housing a potentially murdererous robber in it, including Conan in his remonstrations. We sincerely hope that Conan doesn't mean it or has a loophole when he says he'll try to not act like "those other kids" but Dr Agasa is taken out of the bad guy role when he admits he would love to have grandkids like Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi and in front of our tear-misted eyes, the screen fades into the ending song.
