Part 1
Conan goes out to purchase popular mystery novels in a bookstore, and by chance, he encounters two people (a man named Hayato Wakai and a woman named Chiaki Wakai) carrying a child, whose name is Kazuo Mimura. As they gaze at each other, the child throws a gachapon towards Conan. Upon opening the toy capsule, Conan sees a tiny Kamen Yaiba figurine and a folded piece of paper. Unfolding it, Conan discovers that the child was being kidnapped, and written on the paper was "HELP" (たすけて).

After Conan interprets the signal of crisis, he tails the three into a hotel, where in the hall of the hotel he learns their room number. When he knocks on the door, he quickly dashes into the room. He pretends he's merely there to return the gachapon dropped by Kazuo. To understand the situation, Conan pulls the boy into the bathroom, where he asks Kazuo for information. He searches the bathroom and finds there are absolutely no exits to the exterior. Meanwhile, outside the bathroom, Ayatollah urges the two kids to get out. Conan, realizing they both have similar appearances, exchanges clothes with Kazuo. This was the best option to save Kazuo from the kidnappers.
And that's how Conan found himself sitting in the kidnappers' minivan. Conan persistently observes their behavior in the back seat. He deduces that the two kidnappers were a couple based on the rings on each of their ring fingers. Conan also notices some stains on the back of the front seat. The two kidnappers don't seem to be experienced in kidnapping; they act like amateurs. Instead of plotting the abduction themselves, they follow instructions printed on a notepad, possibly written by somebody else. Just after that, Conan witnesses Ayatollah calling Kazuo's father, Masami Mimura, on a public telephone, per commands printed on the notepad.
Since Conan brought the Voice-Changing Bowtie with him, when the kidnappers intended to communicate with the hostage "Kazuo", Conan was able to deceive them by imitating Kazuo's voice using the bow tie. All of a sudden, Conan proclaims that he is starving and wants dumplings and shumai. The couple go to a Chinese fast-food restaurant and let Conan eat. At the same time, Hayato calls Kazuo's father once again, demanding a three million yen ransom in cash. By reading the instructions, Hayato informs Mimura that the money must be available within an hour. Mimura, in turn, requests to hear Kazuo's voice through the telephone, and Conan, with the help of his bowtie, impersonates Kazuo.
At the Mimura Residence, the police from Investigation Division One are investigating the situation. After Mimura hangs up, he tells the police the "Kazuo" he heard from the phone called him "dad" rather than "papa", causing him to question the credibility of the voice. Megure learns that there are two kidnappers involved and has some composite sketches of their faces. By contacting Sato, Takagi now knows the names of the kidnappers as well as the vehicle they are driving. With this information, Inspector Megure organizes checkpoints on the roads that the two kidnappers are likely to drive through.
On the road, Chiari and Ayatollah are intercepted by the police at one of the checkpoints. The two of them are nervous, as they will be discovered if Conan says anything in front of the police. Meanwhile, Conan finds a mini toy car stuck within the gap between two car seats, which has the name "Tetsuya" (てつや) written underneath. Conan smirks, now realizing what happened. The couple manages to conceal the kidnapping affairs happening within the minivan. The officers, seeing nothing out of sorts, let them go. As they drive away from the checkpoint, both kidnappers are puzzled with Conan's behavior; normally, any person would call for aid when a police officer was in front of them. Conan responds to their confused comments, but this time he uses his current voice. Conan mentions their anxieties as he surmises that their primary intent was not to carry out crimes but to save their own child, Tetsuya Wakai, who also got kidnapped. Conan deduced this because of the toy car that Tetsuya had lost a month ago. Conan reveals his identity to the couple.

As this unfolds, Kazuo, who exchanged clothes with Conan earlier, has been wandering around the tremendous city, lost and helpless. He remembers that Conan told him to find Detective Takagi from Investigation Division One; however, he has a difficult time finding the police on the street. Kazuo then attempts to go home; knowing that his home is located in the direction of Shibuya, he enters a metro station. Unluckily, he got on the train, which went in the opposite direction (South Tokyo). Will Kazuo be able to arrive home successfully and notify his family?
Part 2
Conan explains that he understood everything and knew the couple was forced to follow somebody's instructions with the desire to get their child Tetsuya back. He expresses his willingness to assist them in bringing justice to light.
Consequently, Chiaki recounted the events of the previous evening: she abruptly received an anonymous phone call demanding that she follows his demands at the risk of Tetsuya's life. After a thorough search, they were convinced Tetsuya was kidnapped, and they began to make use of the briefcase sent by the culprit. From there, they had the idea to kidnap Kazuo.
Conan examines the instructions sent by the culprit and quickly deduces that the true intention is to throw the kidnapped Kazuo into the sea, effectively sealing his fate. Although the instructions don't state this explicitly, the phrase "place the ransom and everything else into the sea" implies Kazuo's life is at risk. Fortunately, Conan, the astute detective, intervenes. He proposes a plan to outsmart the culprit and save Kazuo.
Conan contacts the Mimura family again and firmly requests to speak with Inspector Megure. This time, he adopts a wise and authoritative tone, advising the family to split the ransom money into two parts and load them onto separate vehicles. The two vehicles should be on standby at precisely 2 PM and travel in opposite directions at a speed of 50 kph.
Due to the presence of an APB within the parking lot, Conan suggests they abandon their van and purchase disguises to evade the comprehensive police inspection. He emphasizes the importance of this move, reminding them that their opponent is the formidable Inspector Megure from Investigation Division One, a force not to be underestimated.
