Plot
Part 1
Waking up with a fever, Conan reluctantly stays in bed while Haibara and the Detective Boys begin to play Karuta Cards. Mitsuhiko video calls to check why Conan is not with them. Suddenly, the door bell and repetitive knocks are at the front of Ayumi's apartment. A strange boy with slanted eyes, widows peek, and glasses stands panting and begging for help. "Naturally," his "parents" come and pick him up from the door step and tell the detective boys it was only a prank and not to worry about it. Still video chatting, Conan explains that it was not a prank and that they should call Takagi. Conan hangs up and rest in bed. The Detective Boys are debating weather to listen to Conan or not because of his cold. In the end, Haibara and the Detective Boys walk around the building and ask the neighbors about the Urafune family. But all it leads up to going to the condo itself.

To come up with an excuse, Haibara says that they want to play with Masao, and push their way in to the apartment. Genta needs to use the restroom but it seems to be occupied, so Masao's "mom" tells him that he can use the back one. Slowly the Karuta game progresses, and so does the atmosphere in the room...
Part 2
By the time Masao picks his card, Genta just so happens to want the same one, nevertheless Masao is completely reluctant to give His card away. While the detective boys find that strange, Ai takes notes on his behavior of their new companion. And as the game continues, the "Mother" reads the cards aloud reluctantly. With the cards gathered and in place Masao says "Mommy,restroom!!" she replies "It cant be helped. I'll go with you." Leaving his final clue, Masao says "Bring my towel! I cant go without it!! You know, The towel(ta o ru) with a horsehair crab(Ke ga ni) from Lake Suwa(su wa ko)!!!. After a while of thinking, Ai figures it out, and announces that Conan was right and describes why to the detective boys. Little do they know that their is a cell phone that is listing to their every word that the "mom" left behind. The parents congratulate the kids for figuring most of it out, then Brutally tell them that they stop there. At that Moment, the post office man rings and tells them they need to bring up a package, The Adults agree and tell the kids to hush. When the door opens, you hear a struggle and a fall. The "dad" walks over to the door and is hit with a soccer ball. Takagi, takes orders from Conan, who claims to have already known from the beginning the whole situation. Including the tax evasion status.
