Plot
Part 1
The episode starts with a lady in a phone booth at night. While she is calling, a man dragging a club comes up from behind her and knocks her out with the club.
The next scene shows Mouri Ran and Sonoko shopping for a sweater as Sonoko wants to buy Kyogoku. Kogoro Mouri and Conan leave the girls to do their shopping and while crossing the street Mouri notices a good looking girl coming out of a phone booth. Conan notices that she left a ball-point pen in the booth so Mouri grabs and goes to give it to her. As Mouri touches her she tackles him to the ground and Inspector Megure, Wataru Takagi and two other police officers come out and jump on Mouri without realizing that it is Mouri.
After they find out it is Mouri they all go to a pasta shop and explain the case to Mouri. It is also shown that the lady who attacked Mouri was Miwako Sato, posing as a decoy. They show him pictures of the 3 different victims. After unable to figure out a relation between the victims, Mouri brings up a case about a string of female high-school students being hit by cars. Inspector Megure looks shocked, stands up and says they should get back to the investigation.
As Inspector Megure is about to leave he tells Sato and Takagi that they should start at the beginning. Then Conan spots something similar to the 3 victims and Sonoko: apparently they all are wearing a special gift you get at a shop when you spend 10,00 yen or more.
Sonoko then calls Ran to ask where she is. She says she's in a parking lot and then she yells because she saw another victim: again, a very young woman wearing the special gift. They deduce the new victim is related to the gift. Apparently the victim was related to another case where she accidentally hit a kid in the parking garage.
After the victims boyfriend says "You police are all useless", Megure goes into a shocked state and remembers a woman saying the same phrase... as well as saying "Why are you suprised? I said I was going to play Decoy." Then the woman 's face is shown again except it is bleeding and she says "Guess... it didn't go as smoothly as in the movies." Megure drops to his knee and looks like he has a headache; He says its nothing but Conan suspects something.
Conan then brings up another point that the girls weren't wearing much even though it was freezing and at night. Sato says she will wear the decoy she wore before and exit her car. Inspector Megure then shouts "Didn't I say no more decoys!" The Superintendant asks him if its that case from before. Megure denies it and Conan thinks something is strange with Inspector Megure...
Part 2
Sonoko is seen putting her bags in the car by the culprit who, for an unknown reason, decides to follow her as she goes to the restroom in order to punish her. As she accidentaly witnesses the culprit's face, he decides to kill her. Conan, Ran and the police decide to look for Sonoko after having heard her scream. Recognizing the sound of Go stones falling on the floor, Megure manages to find the culprit, who has Sonoko cornered in the restroom; he catches the man before he can hurt Sonoko with a pipe, though he gets hit to the head and is seen bleeding rather badly.
It is revealed that the culprit was going after young women wearing special shoes when driving, as one of them had killed his son. Megure then lectures the culprit, calling him out on how he thinks he's following justice and revenge, yet has done nothing but kill innocent girls (like Sonoko) who had nothing to do with the incident that robbed him of his son, except wearing shoes similar to those of the girl who killed the kid. The man falls to his knees, saying that he started by wanting for "that woman" to apologize to his son in Heaven, and breaks sown in tears.
Later on at the hospital, Matsumoto reveals a case in the past explaining why Megure was so anxious and refused to use a decoy. In the past, a man was attacking school-aged girls with long skirts after having been bullied into insanity by delinquent schoolgirls (whose trademark in Japan is the use of long school skirts), and a young girl actually volunteered to be used as a decoy, since her best friend had been the first victim. She was very rebellious and insisted to do what she wanted in these regards, and the local police had its hands full with other cases, so Matsumoto assigned the rookie Megure as her bodyguard.
One rainy night, the culprit tried to run the decoy girl and Megure over with his car. Megure managed to save the girl, but both of them were still badly injured; in fact, the girl's injuries were so serious that she almost died. Ever since, both of them had scars: the girl got one on her forehead and Megure got one on his scalp (which is also the reason why he's never seen without a hat - he considers it as a shame, since his charge almost died). It is finally revelead that the girl, Midori, got better physically and emotionally, and she married Megure after the accident. They're still happily married as of that day.

Resolution
Extra
- In Part 1 the scene where Ran screams is a part of Closing 37.
- Also the part where Megure drops to his knee is also in Closing 37
- Both episodes were remastered on the 15th and 22th of January, respectivly.
- Tae Aizawa, the victim, has dark skin and bleached hair. She may have been a follower of the Japanese subculture known as [Gyaru], in which young women rebel against Japanese society in general by bleaching their hair, adquiring deep tans and acting rebellious and fashion-conscious. Such a subgroup and its equivalents are viewed with big contempt by lots of Japanese people, who accuse them of being selfish, materialistic and shallow.
