In the afternoon of April 19, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro, and Detective Boys go by train to Kyoto.

The president asks for help to Kogoro to solve this huge case of theft. They also joins Inspector Ayanokoji with his chipmunk, but being out of service he must call his assistant, Detective Kurumazaki.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprits are Umehara craftsmen #1 and #2. They have never produced chocolate desserts and simulated a theft to prevent their boss to sell them on the day of the first anniversary of the former president's death, who hated them. The president decides to not make a statement of damage, but especially to not offend the memory of his predecessor. With regard to the girl suspected, Mitsuhiko turns out she was coming from Shiromi, Osaka city, in search of chocolate desserts and then she's just like Ran. That night, Conan and the others are asleep exhausted from all the action in a Kyoto hotel, without knowing then that the great event of the after day begins to open: the warship Hotaka is anchored at the port of Maizuru Bay and also the ship suspected of American spies with explosive materials is approaching the coast where there is the Maizuru lighthouse.
