File 012 - The Picture Speaks

Conan begins his first day of elementary school. After being introduced, everyone is taken on the playground. Conan decides to use his new Power-Kick Shoes to show off for some girls nearby, but ends up knocking down a nearby tree instead. After school, Conan runs into Kogoro, who is tailing a man for cash.

After three days of tailing, Kogoro counts up his cash, and is pleased by the amount. Kogoro gets suspicious of Conan, but his thoughts are interrupted by the TV. The TV announcer reports that a man was found burned in a fire tower in Akaoni, and the man was the man Kogoro had been tailing for three days, Mr. Masaki Negishi.

Kogoro goes to the police to testify, and comes out later fuming. All three go home, and Kogoro starts looking through some photos. The photos prove the alibi of the only man with a motive to kill the victim, Yutaka Abe. Conan points out all the photos have a clock in them, indicating that they were taken for an alibi, making Kogoro suspicious of Conan again. His suspicions are proved unfounded when Conan mixes up the alibi pictues with the pictures Kogoro took of Negishi when he was tailing him. Conan, looking at the pictures, realizes something odd...

Looking at the pictures of Negishi, Conan realizes that Negishi used his right hand on Day 1&2, but his left on Day 3. Conan realizes Negishi was killed the night of Day 2, and someone hired a man to impersonate him. And Abe doesn't have an alibi for Negishi's new time of death.

Conan, after learning Abe is planning to leave the country that night, goes out of the apartment and calls Kogoro and Inspector Megure to the airport. Once they all arrive, Conan lures Abe out to the parking lot. Conan tells Abe about what he knows, and Abe gloats, before realizing Conan recorded the conversation. Attempting to destroy the recorder, Conan fights Abe, and uses his shoes to knock him out, and the police take Abe away.

Later, Kogoro and Ran are discussing the case. No one knew who captured Abe and left the recording of his confession, but something Abe said made them wonder if it was Conan...

Conan meets back up with Ayumi, and they follow a mysterious woman pushing a cart. When the woman seems to vanish into thin air, Conan uses his new suspenders to force open a door to a secret basement. At the bottom, Conan confronts the mysterious woman, and it turns out that after a homicide case 5 years previously, the wife and son of the deceased stayed in the house. The wife locked up the son so he wouldn't go to jail, but Conan makes them see reason.

The next morning, Genta and Mitsuhiko were found outside, knocked out. The mother and son turned themselves in to the police, and the case was closed. Although Conan and Co. get scolded for being out all night, the kids aren't stopped from investigating, and Ayumi finds another haunted house, which turns out to be the Kudo house.
