While he police begin to search for the criminal, the case angers Megure, and puts him on the breaking point. Conan and Kogoro, along with Ran and Sonoko, are on the scene with Megure, as is Kiyonaga Matsumoto. Megure is acting very strangely, and keeps thinking about a case from the past... Whenever the past serial killer case is mentioned, Megure immediately stiffens up, and becomes all business. Ran and Sonoko are shopping for a sweater for Makoto and discuss about their love lives and it is hinted that Ran likes Shinichi and she wants to tell him how she feels but is afraid of his answer(how he feels about her) it is then revealed to us that Conan was standing next to them hearing the entire conversation and becomes very embarrassed and red-faced(which is super cute!) And then runs off to look for Kogoro. Brief pieces of Megure's past are hinted and shown.
