Plot
After locating his client's son through Conan's help, Kogoro heads to Takasaki, Gunma, along with Ran and Conan, and help his client find her son. To celebrate their victory, the group decides to eat some of Gunma's local food. To find some good choices, Kogoro calls inspector Yamamura, to Conan and Ran's dismay. Before being able to get a recommandation, Yamamura interrupts him and asks him to come quickly to help him solve a case. It seems that someone was killed in the parking lot of an inn directly on the prefectural border between Nagano and Gunma, and says that he needs help to make the detectives from the other prefecture to go away since he arrived first. He describes the other detectives as a trio of a scarred man, a wise-looking man and a beautiful woman with a hair bun, which the group quickly realize are Yamato, Morofushi and Uehara upon arrival. Yamamura realizes Kogoro knows the trio and Uehara and Yamato help him remember that he has also met them before, although he mistakes having met Morofushi in that previous case. Kogoro pesters him to bring them to the scene of crime, and asks him to recall who arrived first. Yamamura thinks he arrived first, but Uehara had actually arrived there first, but as they still can't find a common ground, Morofushi interrupts them and asks them to collaborate, quoting Sun Tzu :

- The hotel where the murder takes place is the real-life Shibutoge Hotel actually located between Gunma and Nagano, although its address is in Nagano. The name is never mentioned in the manga, and the outside colours are slightly different, but the architecture and its particularity definitely point to it being Shibutoge Hotel. It is said by the three suspects that the only place where Nagano's Shinshu Soba and Gunma's Joshu Soba noodles can be ordered at once is that hotel.
- Yui Uehara mentions that the victim stayed at a hotel at the top of Mount Fuyuna (real-life Mount Haruna), which appears in The Witch Enshrouded by Fog.
- Local dishes mentioned include Gunma's Mizusawa udon (a type of thick noodle served in a straw dish), Takasaki pasta, Joshu Soba (a type of buckwheat noodle) and Katsudon, as well as Nagano's Shinshu Soba (another type of buckwheat noodle).
