Situation
Part 1
Professor Agasa has recently posted a video on a popular website, asking for someone to evaluate an old vase he found in his attic. On the particular day the case occurs, Agasa has invited the Detective Boys to a curry supper. Returning from a shopping trip, Genta and Mitsuhiko encounter Sera, who asks them a couple of detailed questions about Agasa, Ai Haibara and the recent hostage case at the Mouri Detective Agency. But unbeknownest to them, Agasa's house is being eyed by a duo of sinister-minded individuals.
When Mitsuhiko and Genta return to the house, they learn to their frustration that the curry dish is not finished yet. Disgruntled, Genta begins kicking around a soccer ball, but an all-too-unlucky shot makes the ball ricochet right into the curry pot, thoroughly drenching Ayumi. After some well-deserved admonishment, Ai takes the boys out to buy new ingredients, while Ayumi takes a shower and re-dresses. But as the others return from their shopping, they find to their shock that Professor Agasa has been knocked out and that Ayumi and the carpet have gone missing!

Resolution
The culprits are the couple (Toshio Kanbe, and Kanbe's wife). They were really at the professor's house for the carpet, which is a valuable Persian original. The alleged search for the cat and Ayumi's kidnapping were actually a ruse to hide the fact that it was really the carpet they were after; they chanced upon it by watching the professor's video site, in which the carpet was visible in the background. The photo from the cat was simply taken from Eri Kisaki's video of her pet cat Goro.
The evidence pointing to this solution is the fact that the carpet in which the Detective Boys found Ayumi was not stained by the spilled coffee that had soaked her clothes when the thieves overpowered her, and Ayumi's earprint amids the stain. Also, the couple was the only interest group who had also inspected the carpet along with the vase, while the others either had paid attention to the vase alone (the two women) or considered Agasa's ignorance of the true value of vase and carpet ridiculous (the father and son pair).
