Plot
Part 1
A woman named Ikenami Shizuka asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shirou Shabata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. Realizing that Shirou was skilled with kendo Conan assumes that his name would show up in past kendo competitions. After finding an address, they enter Shirou's apartment and find out Shirou has been murdered. Shirou's right hand contains the photograph Ikenami is searching for and makes her the prime suspect to the murder.
Part 2
After a thorough investigation, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit to be Shirou's wife, Kyouko Shabata. Conan reveals that the photograph was used to hide the Shirou's real dying message, his wedding ring covered in blood in his right hand. Conan reveals that Kyouko falsified Shirou's time of death by placing the morning newspaper by Shirou's late night snack to pretend it was breakfast and by using a timed videocassette recorder to record a show. Kyouko confesses and reveals that Shirou was gambling them into debt and she was forced to kill him. She attempts to kill herself but is stopped by Ikenami. Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother. Ikenami confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he stayed over.
