Characters introduced
File 562 - High School Detective of the East
The next morning, Conan wakes up believing Heiji and Kazuha have already left. However, when he goes to the bathroom, he finds Heiji there. Heiji explains that he couldn't sleep, which is why they'll be leaving later. Instead of returning to Osaka, they travel to an uninhabited island where Nichiuri TV is filming the show "Super Young Detective Competition". At breakfast, Heiji mentions that he's received an invitation to represent Western Japan. He also hopes to meet Shinichi.
At the harbor, they meet the director, Hiro Tsuchio, on the huge steamer. He explains the schedule for the next few days, and Heiji insists that Conan accompany him to the island. Kazuha, Ran, and Kogoro stay on land, and the director informs them that they will be staying in a hotel. As Heiji, the director, and Conan leave, Kazuha calls after Heiji and tries to persuade him to stay.
They travel to the island in a small boat and meet the representatives of southern and northern Japan, Natsuki Koshimizu and Junya Tokitsu, who are terribly bored. When Conan asks Heiji why he's dragging him along to the island, Heiji simply replies that it would be boring without him and that, as Conan, at least he can contribute something. When the director falls ill, Natsuki and Junya inquire about his well-being and learn that he had been drinking the previous day. When they mention this, the director seems puzzled by their facial expressions, which Heiji and Conan find quite clever.
Meanwhile, Kazuha, Ran, and Kogoro arrive at the hotel the director sent them to. However, when they discover there is no reservation, they become suspicious. Meanwhile, the boat carrying the detectives has arrived on the island, and they meet Renzo Koya, who takes care of them. When Heiji adds that Shinichi can't come along, Renzo replies that he's been on the island since morning. Heiji and Conan are confused, and it turns out that this detective is Saguru Hakuba.
File 563 - The Detective Koshien
Once everyone has arrived at the house on the island, the director asks them to introduce themselves, even though no cameras are present. Natsuki Koshimizu introduces himself first, and Saguru Hakuba last. Heiji learns that Saguru lives in England and that his father is a police commissioner. When Natsuki and Junya remark that they expected Shinichi to represent East Japan, Saguru explains that he's only there as a backup and that Conan can take over the role.
Meanwhile, Kogoro calls Yoko Okino and asks if the show "Super Junior Detective Battle" even exists. Yoko explains that no one knew about the production and that a director named Hiroo Tsuchio doesn't work for her. Kazuha and Ran, meanwhile, fear that Heiji and Conan might have been kidnapped. Heiji and Conan are in their room, and Heiji is changing his clothes. He says that Saguru's know-it-all attitude reminds him of Shinichi. There's a knock at the door, and the others come to get them for dinner. Afterward, they go downstairs to pick up Natsuki, who isn't quite ready. They wonder where the director is, knock on his door, but receive no answer.
Saguru tries to look through the window, but Heiji kicks in the door, and they find the director tied up on the floor. The room was completely locked, and Renzo Koya explains that their first task is to solve this puzzle. Natsuki replies that she thought the first round was about figuring out that Hiroo Tsuchio isn't a director. When he seems surprised, Heiji explains that Natsuki and Junya used television jargon during their conversation on the boat, which Mr. Tsuchio didn't understand, thus giving himself away. Conan also notices that the Nichiuri TV logo on his jacket isn't the original. Suddenly, Junya claims to have solved the first puzzle.
File 564 - Demonstration of the Locked Room
Junya boasts that he's already solved the riddle, prompting Renzo Koya to demand that he write down the solution and give it to him. He also emphasizes that Junya mustn't reveal the trick. Junya remarks that Heiji isn't particularly clever, and Saguru explains that he simply kicked in the door, destroying all possible evidence in the process, to get to Hiro Tsuchio. Conan agrees, while Natsuki admires Heiji's passion. Afterward, Junya retires to his room, and the rest of the group goes to dinner.
Meanwhile, on the mainland, Kazuha and Ran try to contact Conan and Heiji but have no signal. When Ran calls Shinichi, his cell phone also has no signal, leading Ran to conclude that he, too, is on the island. The detectives are eating there, and Saguru asks the principal why there's lavender everywhere in the house. Mr. Koya says it's a detective's job to find out, and Natsuki says it reminds her of the murder case in the Lavender House. While Heiji and Conan are explaining to Saguru that the homeowner in this case was murdered and the perpetrator killed himself before he could be arrested, Hiroo Tsuchio suddenly gets up and says he needs to get his cigarettes.
When he returns, Junya still hasn't arrived after more than two hours, and they're starting to get worried. Heiji, Conan, and Saguru go to his bedroom window and see him sitting there. Suddenly, they notice he's covered in blood. Saguru is about to kick down the door when Heiji swings onto the windowsill and shatters the glass. He then checks Junya's pulse and confirms that he is indeed dead.
