Case
Shinichi wakes up in an unfamiliar room handcuffed to Ran. After waking her up, Shinichi and Ran notice Kogoro is in the room with them. No one seems to remember how or when they were placed into the blank walled room. Ran is dismayed when she realizes her cell phone has no reception so they have no way to call for help. As they look around the walls of the room, Shinichi spots an envelope containing a letter meant for him. The letter explains that the writer is a big fan of Shinichi's and thinks he's a wonderful detective. According to the letter, the white room is a "present" for Shinichi. Suddenly a computer panel appears on a pedestal in the middle of the room with the numbers "2010.06.24", five empty squares underneath, and a touch screen keypad. Shinichi recognizes the date June 24, 2010 as the date of a murder case he had previously solved involving a cameraman.
Cameraman Yuuhei Tsubouchi and model Momoko Aida are making out when Momoko suddenly breaks away and tells Tsubouchi they need to stop. Momoko explains she feels guilty for betraying her older sister. After arguing with Momoko, Tsubouchi grabs two plastic grocery bags to cover his hands and strangles Momoko. Frantic to cover up his deeds, Tsubouchi throws the room into disarray to make it look like a burglary. Tsubouchi leaves Momoko's to meet up with his partner Kishi. The men go to Momoko's to get her for a photo shoot and to Kishi's surprise the door is unlocked.
Meanwhile, Ran has just finished getting decals on her nails at a nail salon and shows them off to Shinichi who had accompanied her. On their way out, they hear a man shout and run towards the sound. They find Tsubouchi and Kishi on the ground outside of Momoko's apartment holding their heads in pain. Shinichi runs into Momoko's apartment only to find her dead on the floor and the room in shambles. It's up to Shinichi along with Sato and Takagi to figure out the truth behind the murder.
