Case
Prologue
At an estate in Kyoto, Toshiya Yajima watches a recording of a karuta match played by Momiji Ooka, while also playing the popular Japanese card game karuta himself. Amused, Yajima notices that Momiji has the same favorite cards as her master when a perpetrator silhouette grabs a sword in the hallway of the mansion and opens the door to Yajima's room. Yajima notices this and turns to the door, recognizing the person and reacting in shock as he attacks him with the sword. With two blows to the head, Yajima is killed.

Introduction to the tournament
Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Heiji, Kazuha, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta are visiting Osaka's Nichiuri TV station, where they are watching a rehearsal for a karuta program in a studio where Momiji Ooka is playing a game of karuta against Mikiko Hiramoto. Mikiko is in a class with Kazuha and Heiji and a member of her school's karuta club. She also brought Kazuha into the club as a mock member, as it was about to be disbanded due to a lack of members.
The group is at the station because an interview is to be conducted here with Kogoro and two important personalities of the Karuta world. The Detective Boys, accompanied by Ran, have to wait in a dressing room until Kogoro can start the interview, while Conan stays with him to watch over him. Kogoro, however, has little idea about his interviewees, which is why Conan, Heiji, Kazuha and Mikiko enlighten him. The first interlocutor is Kensuke Achiwa, the president of a real estate company and also the president of Satsuki-Kai, a karuta club to which both Mikiko and Momiji belong, and which also hosts the Satsuki Cup, an important karuta tournament. Achiwa is a very good karuta player, but prefers to act as a reader at tournament. The Satsuki-Kai was founded 20 years ago by Achiwa's wife, Satsuki Achiwa. She was also the first president of the club before she died three years ago and her husband took over. An important companion of the two was former secretary Togo Kaieda, who was also reportedly responsible for the darker side of Achiwa's real estate business and wears a large, conspicuous ring around his thumb. In addition, before each game of karuta by Satsuki, he washed the family's car, as an auspicious ritual. The second interviewee is Toshiya Yajima, the current champion of the Satsuki Cup and also a member of the Satsuki-Kai.
Meanwhile, TV studio employees bring a deck of karuta cards to the studio. Mikiko explains that these old and valuable cards are the treasure of the Satsuki-Kai, which are now kept in a museum and are only used in the finals of the Satsuki-Kai. It is the dream of Mikiko and many karuta players to be able to play a final with these cards one day. The cards are to be introduced to the public as part of a TV special during the karuta broadcast, which will also feature a game of karuta played by Yajima and Momiji. Now President Achiwa also arrives, and is greeted by Mikiko and Kogoro. Yajima, however, has still not appeared, which surprises Achiwa, since Yajima had, after all, come up with the idea for the television program and also planned it. Achiwa instructs his secretary to call Koji Sekine, another member of the Satsuki-Kai, and ask him to come here so that he can stand in for Yajima in case of an emergency.
In Kyoto, said Koji Sekine has just found the body of Yajima and is holding the murder weapon in his hands. Hearing the ringing of his cell phone, he wipes his fingerprints off the sword in panic when he realizes with horror that Yajima is holding a karuta card in his hand.
Kogoro and Achiwa leave to prepare for the interview. Conan, Heiji and Kazuha also leave the studio and meet up with Ran and the Detective Boys. Together, they are about to go out for some food when Heiji bumps into Momiji in a hallway of the station. Momiji starts crying at the sight of Heiji and says that it must be fate that finally allowed her to meet her future husband again. Addressing Heiji as her future husband shocks the entire group, especially Kazuha. Momiji snuggles up to Heiji's arm and practically invites him on a date when a staff member calls her over, there are some things that need to be cleared up before the show, which is why Momiji says goodbye to Heiji and wants to meet him later. With a red head and a smile, Heiji waves goodbye to Momiji before being cornered by an angry Kazuha. Kazuha wants to know how he knows this girl, but Heiji insists he's never seen her before. He's pretty sure since Momiji is memorable for her beauty, unlike Kazuha, which doesn't make her any less angry. Ran and the Detective Boys quickly say their goodbyes and flee to the station's gift store. While Kazuha continues to pester Heiji with questions, Conan searches the Internet on his smartphone for information about Momiji and shows Heiji and Kazuha his find. Momiji is a gifted karuta player who has won the Satsuki High School Cup two times in a row and is already being talked about as a future "queen" of the game. Despite this, Heiji can't remember meeting Momiji.
The bombing of Nichiuri TV
Meanwhile, Osaka police headquarters receives a bomb threat by e-mail, which Goro Otaki presents to his superiors Heizo Hattori and Ginshiro Toyama. The threat announces a bomb attack on Nichiuri TV, and the mail also contained a picture of a karuta card. Heizo orders the evacuation of the broadcasting building.
As a result, an announcement is made on the station that speaks of an orderly evacuation of the building by order of the prefectural police. Conan and Heiji head to the studio for more information, while Kazuha makes her way to an emergency staircase on Heiji's instructions. In the hallways, however, they encounter Kogoro, who grabs Conan and carries him out of the building, but Heiji goes unnoticed by him, which is why he gets into the studio unhindered. There, the staff, Achiwa and Mikiko just learn of the bomb threat. Achiwa says that they should all flee first to be on the safe side, despite the chance that the threat is just a fake. Everyone leaves the studio while Mikiko looks anxiously at the old karuta cards before Heiji grabs her by the arm and drags her out of the studio.

Outside, Kogoro and Conan are meeting with Ran and the Detective Boys when some bombs explode at the station. Conan immediately sneaks away again and gets his solar skateboard from Kogoro's rental car. Inside the building, Heiji and Mikiko meet Kazuha by the emergency stairs. Together they go down the stairs, but Mikiko turns back after a short while and goes back to the studio. Shocked, Heiji and Kazuha follow her. At the studio, Mikiko puts the karuta cards back in their sleeves and takes them with her, not wanting the cards to be destroyed in an explosion. A security guard notices the three teens and escorts them to the emergency exits, but when a ceiling collapses, Heiji and Kazuha are separated from Mikiko and the guard. Mikiko and the guard are able to leave the building, while Heiji and Kazuha can only escape to the roof of the building due to a fire in the stairwell. As Mikiko leaves the building, she is observed through binoculars by a perpetrator silhouette among the onlookers, wearing Kaieda's thumb ring, who with a smile detonates a bomb that was placed in the TV studio next to the box of old karuta cards in a gym bag.
Conan uses his radar goggles to locate the GPS on Heiji's cell phone and decides to rush to his aid with his skateboard. Also on the roof of Nichiuri TV, he rappels Heiji and Kazuha down using the elastic suspenders and brings them to safety, but another explosion prevents him from rappelling himself. Conan tries to jump his skateboard into the river next to the transmitter, but he can't pick up enough speed on the half-destroyed roof. The smoke almost causes Conan to faint, but when he thinks of Ran, he regains his strength and finds the solution. Using the suspenders as a rope substitute, he skateboards in circles inside the broadcasting station's satellite dish and picks up enough speed that he manages to jump over the flames, but it's not enough to reach the river. Heiji notices this and jumps from a tree against Conan, giving them both enough momentum to land in the river.
In the hospital and second meeting with Momiji
At an ambulance, Conan and Heiji meet up with the rest of the group. Otaki is also on the scene and gives Heiji some information, while Conan and the rest of the group go to the hospital to check on Mikiko, who has already been taken to the hospital as an emergency along with President Achiwa, who was hit in the head by a shard of glass in an explosion.
At the police hospital, Conan, Ran, Kazuha and the Detective Boys wait for Mikiko in a corridor outside examination rooms, along with Momiji and Achiwa's staff, who are waiting for the president, who is just coming out of one of the rooms. Achiwa has only a minor injury overall, but he is deathly sad about the loss of the valuable karuta cards. However, Momiji informs him that Mikiko saved the cards, which is why Achiwa grabs her by the shoulders in complete surprise and frantically asks if this is really true. Momiji confirms it again and Achiwa's secretary tells the president that he can calm down now and not to worry anymore. At that moment Mikiko comes out of an examination room with a sling around her arm. Achiwa thanks her, but Mikiko is devastated because she cannot participate in the upcoming Satsuki Cup with the arm injury. Achiwa's secretary reminds the president that the police want to talk to him, so Achiwa wishes Mikiko a speedy recovery and leaves.
Kazuha tries to cheer Mikiko up by saying that she can participate in the Satsuki Cup next year, but Mikiko explains that despite the fake members, without a good result in the Satsuki Cup, her school's karuta club will surely be disbanded soon. Other than Mikiko, Kazuha is the only truly talented player, which is why Mikiko quickly comes to the conclusion that Kazuha should participate in the Satsuki Cup instead. Kazuha isn't sure, especially since the tournament is already the day after tomorrow, but Mikiko is able to talk her into it. Momiji overhears the girls' conversation and makes fun of Kazuha, suggesting that they could switch to just poetry in the tournament so that Kazuha has a chance as well. Momiji also inquires how Kazuha feels about Heiji. Kazuha replies that she's known Heiji forever, and he's her.... Kazuha hesitates, which is why the Detective Boys say, to Kazuha's horror, that Heiji is crystal clear her first love, which is totally obvious. Momiji proposes a bet to Kazuha: whichever of the two wins the Satsuki Cup gets to confess her love to Heiji. Mikiko and Ran advise Kazuha against it, but she accepts Momiji's bet.
Momiji leaves because she still has an appointment at the nail salon. In the process, she bumps into Kogoro and loses her wallet unnoticed. Shortly after, Conan notices the wallet and follows Momiji together with Ran to return it to her, but at the hospital entrance they only see the girl driving away in her car. Trying to find out Momiji's phone number or address, the two look into the wallet, first finding a photo of a man in traditional clothing, and then a photo of a young Momiji and a young Heiji making promises to each other. Jokingly, Conan and Ran speculate that Heiji promised to marry Momiji at that time, before realizing that Heiji would actually be naive enough to promise such a thing at such a young age. At that moment, Heiji pulls up on his motorcycle. Ran and Conan decide not to say anything about the photo to Heiji and Kazuha; Conan secretly takes a picture with his cell phone of the man's picture in Momiji's purse. Ran goes back to the hospital, while Kogoro and Achiwa are just coming out when Achiwa gets a call from the Kyoto Prefectural Police: the body of Yajima has been found. Together with Achiwa, Conan, Heiji and Kogoro set off for Kyoto.
Discovery of Yajima's body
Once there, Conan and Heiji are initially denied access to the crime scene before being greeted by Inspector Fumimaro Ayanokoji, who grants them access. The murder weapon was a sword used to slay Yajima, as the sword has rusted solid in its scabbard and cannot be drawn. Conan and Heiji notice that Yajima has bloodstains in his hand, indicating that he was holding one of the numerous bloodstained karuta cards scattered on the floor when he died and it was then removed by the killer. Conan takes a picture of the hand and all the cards on the floor with his cell phone. Heiji straightens the fallen TV and turns it on. On it is a recording of a karuta game by Momiji. In the DVD player was a DVD labeled "15th to 20th finals of the Satsuki High School Cup." Kogoro grabs Heiji and Conan and drags them out of the mansion.
Outside, Koji Sekine arrives, who supposedly drank too much and didn't notice that one of his smartphone batteries had run out, so he wasn't reachable before. He learns about Yajima's murder with the sword and calls it a tragedy, especially since he had lost to Yajima three times in previous Satsuki Cups; he wanted to finally beat him the day after tomorrow. Achiwa mentions that he wants to cancel the Cup because of the death of the reigning champion, but Sekine strongly disagrees, saying that Yajima would not have wanted this and that otherwise he would have been knocked down for nothing. Ayanokoji asks Sekine for an official interrogation. Conan and Heiji are pretty sure they have found Yajima's killer, but they want to gather more evidence first to prove him guilty of the bombing.
Conan calls Ai and sends her the photos of the karuta cards, Yajima's hand, and the man from Momiji's purse, asking her to find out who the man is and what card Yajima was holding. Heiji and Conan fear that Achiwa and Momiji are also targeted by the culprit, which is why they split up: Heiji guards Momiji in Kyoto, while Conan guards Achiwa in Osaka, who is staying in the same hotel as Conan and the others. Meanwhile, in said hotel, Ran, Kazuha and the Detective Boys are also in their room. Kazuha and Ran begin karuta training.
After a while, they wonder where Heiji, Conan and Kogoro are, so Kazuha calls Heiji. She tells him that she is participating in the Satsuki Cup and asks him to help her train, since Heiji once spontaneously participated in a karuta tournament when he was young and won. Kazuha had also thought of that when she became a mock member of her school's karuta club. Heiji doesn't understand what's so special about it. The two argue and hang up in frustration. Heiji calls someone and asks for a favor.
Kazuha's training
A little later, Kogoro and Conan are back at the hotel in Osaka. Conan is attaching one of his tracking devices to Achiwa when he notices Shizuka Hattori in the lobby, whom he takes to her room. Shizuka was once a karuta "queen," which is why she had asked Heiji to help Kazuha train. Kazuha and Shizuka train all night.
That night, Heiji stands guard outside the Ooka family mansion, along with Ayanokoji, who was also concerned for Momiji's safety. From the estate, the butler Muga Iori comes to them, thanks them for their hard work and brings them tea. Momiji watches Heiji with an affectionate look over a security camera.
When Conan and Ran wake up the next morning, Kazuha and Shizuka are still training, so Shizuka orders a break. Kazuha wants to continue, but immediately falls asleep the next moment because of the exertion.
Later in the day, Sekine, Achiwa and Momiji gather at the hotel as they have to make preparations for the Satsuki Cup at the tournament grounds today. Mikiko meets up with Shizuka and the well-rested Kazuha in the lobby. Momiji overhears that a former "Queen" is helping Kazuha and challenges Kazuha to a friendly match, but Shizuka intervenes and offers herself as Momiji's opponent instead. Momiji accepts.
A car bombing in broad daylight
In another room in the hotel, Sekine is confronted by Heiji and the sleeping Kogoro. The detectives say Sekine is Yajima's killer because he has no alibi, a motive, and he gave himself away: knowing that Yajima was killed by a sword, Sekine said that Yajima was "knocked down" but not that Yajima was "stabbed" or "slain." That the murder weapon had rusted in its scabbard and therefore could not be drawn was known only to the perpetrator. Sekine has to go to the preparations and leaves, since Heiji and Conan have no solid evidence. Conan and Heiji plan to watch Sekine and wait for him to make a mistake under the pressure of the confrontation. They go outside to Heiji's motorcycle.
The tournament site is huge, so the police can only protect Momiji and Achiwa fully on the way there. That's why Heiji and Conan want to follow the police convoy. In addition, Conan has found some information about the venue of the final: the final will be held in the Satsuki Hall, which was built into a steep wall of a valley above a lake on the tournament grounds. Only the two finalists and the reader will enter the hall, which is accessible only by elevator. The hall is equipped with microphones and cameras that broadcast the final to the rest of the halls on the tournament grounds. In addition, the hall is equipped with noise barriers and air conditioning. In addition, Conan receives an email from Haibara with information about the man from Momiji's wallet, whose name is Shikao Nagoro. At the same time, a perpetrator silhouette places a bomb under a car in the underground garage of the hotel.
Meanwhile, in Kazuha's room, the match between Momiji and Shizuka is over. Momiji also has to leave, but she tells Kazuha that she will win the bet and will not underestimate Kazuha, because she once underestimated a beginner in her life and suffered a painful defeat. She also talks about how Heiji is her bodyguard and he kept watch outside her house all night. Momiji says goodbye while Kazuha seethes with anger at Heiji and vows to finish Momiji off at the tournament.
The police convoy with Achiwa, Sekine and Momiji leaves the hotel and Conan and Heiji follow the cars. The convoy is watched from a distance by a perp silhouette with Kaieda's ring on his thumb, who detonates the bomb under Sekine's car.

Police briefing
In the evening, Conan, Heiji and Achiwa are at the Osaka Prefectural Police headquarters in a conference room with Otaki, Ginshiro and Heizo. Otaki reports that Sekine is alive, but his condition is critical. Momiji, on the other hand, is unharmed. The police officers suspect that members of the Satsuki Kai are being specifically targeted. Conan shows Achiwa the photo of Shikao Nagoro, whereupon Achiwa tells more about the man.
Nagoro was the president of Nagoro-Kai, an elite karuta club with only 20 members. Nagoro had a very aggressive style of play, which included always grabbing his six favorite cards. Of these favorite cards, none had ever been snatched away from him in a game during his career. Five years ago, Nagoro challenged Achiva's wife, Satsuki, to a karuta duel, the loser of which must disband his club. Since Nagoro had leaked the duel to the media, the public pressure was too great and Satsuki could not refuse. But Nagoro never showed up for the duel and he has disappeared to this day. Without their president and due to the public reaction to Nagoro fleeing from a fight he himself had forced, the Nagoro Kai collapsed. At that time, Toshiya Yajima had also vehemently pushed for the dissolution of the Nagoro Kai. The members of the Nagoro kai were allowed to join the Satsuki kai, but only two members did so: Koji Sekine and Momiji Ooka, who was Nagoro's favorite student and strongest newcomer to the Nagoro-Kai at the time.
Otaki gets a call and is informed that Sekine had received an email before the explosion that had only a single karuta card attached as a file. Achiwa identifies this card as one of Nagoro's favorite cards. Panicked, Heiji calls Momiji, who also finds an email on her email account with one of Nagoro's favorite cards. Heiji tells Momiji to come to police headquarters immediately for protection, but Momiji refuses because she has to prepare for the Satsuki Cup. Conan gets an email from Haibara who identified the card Yajima was holding, which is also one of Nagoro's favorite cards. The card in the threat of the bombing of Nichiuri TV was also one of the favorite cards.
Heizo, Ginshiro, Conan and Heiji suspect that the culprit behind it all is Nagoro, who has returned from exile after five years to take revenge; on Momiji and Sekine, the traitors from his club, and on Yajima, who was pushing hardest to break up the Nagoro Kai at the time. Conan and Heiji are sure that there will be two more victims, since Nagoro has never given up a single one of his favorite cards and still has two cards outstanding. Heizo and Ginshiro order a massive security increase for tomorrow's Satsuki Cup.
Outside the headquarters, Heiji and Conan talk again with Achiwa, who seems to be hiding something. Achiwa takes them into his office, where he tells them what he didn't want to tell the police. Five years ago, Nagoro was at the Achiwa mansion the day before the public duel and had played a private game with Satsuki, two of them, using the valuable cards of the Satsuki-Kai. For this, instead of a reader, they used an audio recording from the Achiwas' house. When Achiwa returned home, he met Nagoro in the hallway, who left the house as white as a sheet; he had lost big. Achiwa suspects that Nagoro did not want to face such disgrace in a public game and that is why he disappeared. Achiwa did not want to tell this to the police because it would have become actual knowledge and might have become public knowledge; the disclosure of the use of the valuable cards for a private game would have caused an outcry among the members of the Satsuki Kai.
Momiji's promise
Meanwhile, Ran meets with Momiji and gives her wallet back. In it is Momiji's lucky charm, the photo of Nagoro. Ran also talks about the photo with her and Heiji, so Momiji tells her more about it. At the time, Heiji was the rookie that Momiji lost to in the tournament that Heiji spontaneously won. At that time, she was crying bitterly after the defeat, which is why Heiji had comforted her and told her that the next time they met, she would be his wife, which he had promised her firmly. This is what Momiji believed in all these years and it gave her strength. Ran asks if such a promise from children should really be taken seriously, but Momiji replies that a true man should stand by his words. Ran remembers Shinichi's confession of love in London and agrees with Momiji in response. Momiji asks Ran to tell Kazuha that there is no way Momiji will let a card she wants so badly be snatched away, quoting her master.
Later, while training with Kazuha, Ran can't help but think of Heiji's promise, but she keeps Momiji's words and promise from Kazuha so as not to upset Kazuha. During a break in training, Kazuha stares at the floor and goes over her weaknesses in Karuta in her mind when Heiji suddenly kneels in front of her and addresses her, startling Kazuha. While Heiji asks her why Kazuha is scowling, Kazuha just asks why Heiji isn't with Momiji, since he is her bodyguard. Heiji explains that he wanted to help Kazuha train to take some of the pressure off his mother. Kazuha doesn't want his help and demands that he go back to Momiji's house so that nothing happens to her before Kazuha beats her in the tournament tomorrow. Confused, Heiji leaves again and tells his mother to take care of Kazuha. Both Heiji outside in the hotel hallway, and Kazuha in the room, stare sadly at the floor.
Momiji is back in her mansion, looking at the photo of Nagoro and asking her master to stand by her tomorrow as well. Achiwa is looking at a picture of Satsuki at his place and asks her to watch over him, while on his smartphone there is an email with another favorite card of Nagoro.
The tournament begins
The next day, the Satsuki Cup is in full swing. Ayanokoji and Otaki are responsible for security. Thanks to handprint scanners for the staff, no unauthorized person should gain access that way, but unnoticed by Conan, Heiji and Ayanokoji, Togo Kaieda enters the premises, who has a staff uniform and, according to the hand scanner, a valid staff authorization. Kaieda gains access to the security room and disables the guard. He enters a password into the computer and disables the fire protection system before destroying the computer.
The tournament takes place and in the end Momiji and Kazuha are in the finals. They are taken by boat to Satsuki Hall by President Achiwa, who will also be the reader in the finals. The two girls have a friendly chat, yet both are determined to win and confess their love to Heiji.
The third bombing
Kaieda places a bomb in a shed, but its timer is set to two seconds when activated, blowing Kaieda up.

Ayanokoji, Heiji and Conan follow the smoke from the explosion to the shed. At first they think Nagoro accidentally killed himself, but Conan notices Kaieda's distinctive ring stuck in a tree. Otaki informs Ayanokoji that Achiwa's secretary got the mail on her boss's cell phone with the fifth favorite card. Panicking, Heiji directs a check of Kazuha's smartphone and indeed got the sixth favorite card by mail when it was determined that she was in the finals. The culprit's final destination is clear: the Satsuki Hall, where the finals will be held. The police head there, followed by Heiji and Conan on Heiji's motorcycle.
Before the police can get into the elevator to the Satsuki Hall, a bomb explodes at its foot, starting a huge fire along with accelerants. However, the streets leading to Satsuki Hall are too old and narrow for the fire trucks of the fire department. Heiji and Conan circle the valley basin to reach the top of the escarpment via a mountain path.
