A bombing case at Nichiuri TV in autumn. The Satsuki Cup, which crowns the winner of Japan's Hyakunin Isshu, is currently being filmed inside the facility. The incident results in a big commotion and, while the building is burning to ashes, the only people left inside are Heiji and Kazuha. They get rescued just in time by Conan, who rushes to the scene. Both the identity and purposes of the bomber are unknown.

While confusion takes over due to the explosion, Conan meets a mysterious beautiful girl who claims she is "Heiji's fiancée". Her name is Momiji Ooka and she is the high school champion of the karuta game from Kyoto Senshin High School. As fate would have it, Kazuha is going to face Momiji in the Hyakunin Isshu, so she begins to train with the help of Heiji's mother, Shizuka, who is a skilled karuta player.
Meanwhile, Ran finds out that Heiji once made a yubikiri/pinkie promise to 'take Momiji as his bride'
At the same time, in a Japanese house in Arashiyama, Kyoto's outskirts, the reigning Satsuki Cup champion is murdered. Pictures of the crime scene reveal Momji's presence. Additionally, several karuta cards were spread around the victim.
Conan and Heiji, along with the Osaka and Kyoto police departments, begin their investigation on the Satsuki Cup and the related murder case. As the inquiry goes on, they come across a secret connected with the Hyakunin Isshu. They found that the cards that were left at the crime scene and sent by email to victims were all Momiji and Nagoro's favorite cards, all of which had 'Momiji' in their poems.

Resolution
<spoiler> Nagoro, who had been missing for 5 years, had been killed by Kensuke's wife Satsuki Achiwa. The motive is possibly she lost in the game and decided to kill him, because of that reason. The reason why he would play with her because this is his last time, that he could see her, it's because of his eyes are going to deteriorate. He even mentioned that he's her first love, and saying that this would be his last time to compete with her. Kensuke witnessed the murder of Nagoro, he even hid it so that no one knows. Kensuke Achiwa killed his secretary, and decided to commit suicide after the match of Kazuha and Momiji, at the tallest hall. Luckily, when it exploded, Conan led Achiwa and Momiji to the elevator, while Heiji used his bike to take Kazuha to a nearby ledge, telling her he had something he had to tell her before he died.
Afterwards, it is revealed that Momiji won the final game, but Kazuha was just happy that she got her favorite card, 'Shinoburedo', which talks about a hidden love. It also is the only card whose poet had the same starting character of his name as Heiji. Kazuha sent an email to Heiji containing the image file of the card.
Then, Momiji walks into the hotel lobby and declares she has come to confess to Heiji, adding that she had already been confessed to, and showed Heiji the photo proof. Heiji tells Momiji that he actually said that 'he would play her again once they became stronger'. 'Stronger' was 'TSUyome', while Momiji heard it as 'Yome' which is slang for 'bride' in Japanese. She calls her butler immediately and leaves, telling Kazuha that once she has a favorite card, she won't let anyone take it from her.
On the bullet train home, Ran is sends an image file of 'meguri aite' to Shinichi, and gets the card 'Seohayami' back. Ran asks Sonoko the meaning of the card, and smiling at the meaning of the card, she hangs up before answering.
