While [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are walking down a narrow alley discussing a crime case, Conan notices a red sportscar coming up from behind. They prepare to move to the side, but suddenly the driver accelerates, clipping Ayumi and then bailing. Shocked and outraged, Ran prepares to take care of Ayumi; Kogoro leaves to call the police and an ambulance; and Conan, Mitsuhiko and Genta take up pursuit of the culprit on Conan's [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]].

At the factory, Kogoro meets with [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]], who inform him that the victim is the factory's manager, Hisashi Ishikura, who came to his closed facility for a check-up and apparently encountered a burglar in the process, which happened about an hour ago (the same time the Detective Boys had pased the place). Conan, however, notices immediately that Ishikura had been tied up with duct tape at or just before the time of his death, but the tape has been removed, and that the external entrance to his office, which opens to the building's back side, is in plain sight of a tobacco stand run by an old woman. Furthermore, Genta and Mitsuhiko find a photo on Ishikura's desk which depicts a number of people arranged for a group shot - among them the hit-and-runner they had chased!

At the Beika Police Station, the hit-and-runner, a man by the name of Kenichi Shishido and an employee of Ishikura's until a month ago, claims that after hitting Ayumi, he had passed by the factory by mere coincidence, and the police likewise dismiss him as a suspect, as committing a hit and run, not to mention his voluntary surrender to the police, seems atypical for a murderer's behavior. Further confounding is the tobacco saleslady's statement that nobody had ever entered from the rear, and the Detective Boy's testimony about having covered the front part, which apparently rules him out for the crime. Not convinced, and determined to find more evidence, Conan (with Mitsuhiko and Genta in tow) returns to the crime scene. But then Conan stumbles upon several clues which shed a new light upon that case, and with the help of his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] he arranges a meeting with Kogoro, Megure, Takagi and Shishido at the factory. Conan stuns Kogoro with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|wristwatch]], then presents the facts to the other arrivals that Shishiro did indeed murder Ishikura and he had arranged the hit-and-run offense to fake himself an alibi. It is implied that he murdered Ishikura because the latter had fired him for breaking into and stealing from the factory office's safe.

<spoiler>The evidence for Shishido's crime rests in the following facts. He had prepared a car identical to his own, with which he eventually committed the hit-and-run on Ayumi. He first incapacitated Ishikura, then, after having lured the Detective Boys to the factory, he hid the fake car in its empty warehouse, used his cellphone to call the tobacco saleswoman under the pretense of having dialled a wrong number, and made use of this diversion to get back into the office while her back was turned, and commit his deed. After diverting the saleswoman's attention with another call, he rushed to his own car parked in a recessed parking lot and came back into the open in order to let the boys see him again.

The list of evidence goes as follows:
 
*Since the Detective Boys had not seen Shishiro out front, he should have driven his car through the factory grounds and thus through the puddle at the backside. Ergo, if the car he drove to the police box was the one he hit Ayumi with, it should have mud splashes on its body. But it doesn't, whereas the fake car hidden in the warehouse clearly sports them.

Murder

EP109b Case.jpg

Location: Ishikura Industries
Victim: Hisashi Ishikura
Cause of death: Stab wound
Suspects: Kenichi Shishido

At the factory, Kogoro meets with Megure and Takagi, who inform him that the victim is the factory's manager, Hisashi Ishikura, who came to his closed facility for a check-up and apparently encountered a burglar in the process, which happened about an hour ago (the same time the Detective Boys had pased the place). Conan, however, notices immediately that Ishikura had been tied up with duct tape at or just before the time of his death, but the tape has been removed, and that the external entrance to his office, which opens to the building's back side, is in plain sight of a tobacco stand run by an old woman. Furthermore, Genta and Mitsuhiko find a photo on Ishikura's desk which depicts a number of people arranged for a group shot - among them the hit-and-runner they had chased!

At the Beika Police Station, the hit-and-runner, a man by the name of Kenichi Shishido and an employee of Ishikura's until a month ago, claims that after hitting Ayumi, he had passed by the factory by mere coincidence, and the police likewise dismiss him as a suspect, as committing a hit and run, not to mention his voluntary surrender to the police, seems atypical for a murderer's behavior.

But then Conan stumbles upon several clues which shed a new light upon that case, and with the help of his Voice-Changing Bowtie he arranges a meeting with Kogoro, Megure, Takagi and Shishido at the factory.
