The Moris are at a client's home. While Conan and Ran wait in the spacious garden, Kogoro speaks with Denjiro Maru in the main house. Maru had hired Kogoro to tail his wife and investigate suspicions of infidelity; Kogoro had succeeded in photographing the woman with her lover and is now showing the pictures to his client. Meanwhile, Conan grows impatient in the garden and notices a visitor entering the house. | |||
When the doorbell rings, Mr. Maru has to answer it himself, as he has given the entire staff the day off and his wife is currently taking a piano lesson. He then escorts the guest to the garden house. Some time passes before the phone next to Kogoro suddenly rings; Mr. Maru has not yet returned. Kogoro, Ran, and Conan look around the hallway but find no one. Suddenly, Conan hears a loud noise coming from the garden house—it sounds like a blow. | |||
More time elapses, and the phone rings again. However, it stops after three rings, only to start ringing again a few seconds later. Finally, Kogoro loses patience and heads to the garden house; there, he encounters the household staff, who know nothing about the visitor. Ineko, Denjiro's wife, also appears; Kogoro's confused remarks reveal to her that he is a detective and is aware of her secret. Mrs. Maru sends the staff to look for her husband while trying to persuade Kogoro to keep quiet about her affair. Suddenly, they hear the housekeeper scream and rush to the garden house, where they discover Mr. Maru's body, pierced by a samurai sword. The police arrive shortly thereafter. Inspector Megure has already determined that Mr. Maru struggled with his killer, which explains the complete disarray in the room. Since the victim practiced kendo in his spare time, the perpetrator must also be a skilled swordsman. Conan is the only one who noticed Mr. Maru entering the neighboring building accompanied by another person. In addition to the meeting with Kogoro, Mr. Maru’s schedule for the day lists three other commitments: appointments with his family doctor Ikuya Hatano, the sculptor Makoto Akutsu, and Yuji Suwa. All three are quickly brought to the crime scene, as they were in the vicinity. Upon observing Mr. Suwa’s hands, Conan immediately realizes that he, too, practices kendo. | |||

File 051 - The Truth Under the Mask
Trapped between two agents in black, Conan appears to have no way out until the door of the hotel room in the hallway opens, blocking the view of the woman in black. A mother leaves her little boy in their room while she goes out, but when the boy closes the door, he finds Conan has ducked into the room to hide. Conan convinces the boy he's not a thief, then borrows the room phone and a package of gum.
Room service arrives at room 301—the woman protests they didn't ask for anything, but the masked man in black orders them to bring it in and then throws the bellhop out. As the man goes to shut the door, he finds gum in the keyhole that prevents it from automatically locking. Amused, he proposes a toast to their extra guest, who is not hiding beneath the cart, but inside the room's closet. Facing down a gun, Conan tries to use his tranquilizer watch, only to be informed that the masked man already used the needle on him earlier, and high school detective Shinichi Kudo will regret underestimating them.

Antique Collector Case
File 052 - The Three Visitors
The Moris are at a client's home. While Conan and Ran wait in the spacious garden, Kogoro speaks with Denjiro Maru in the main house. Maru had hired Kogoro to tail his wife and investigate suspicions of infidelity; Kogoro had succeeded in photographing the woman with her lover and is now showing the pictures to his client. Meanwhile, Conan grows impatient in the garden and notices a visitor entering the house.
When the doorbell rings, Mr. Maru has to answer it himself, as he has given the entire staff the day off and his wife is currently taking a piano lesson. He then escorts the guest to the garden house. Some time passes before the phone next to Kogoro suddenly rings; Mr. Maru has not yet returned. Kogoro, Ran, and Conan look around the hallway but find no one. Suddenly, Conan hears a loud noise coming from the garden house—it sounds like a blow.
More time elapses, and the phone rings again. However, it stops after three rings, only to start ringing again a few seconds later. Finally, Kogoro loses patience and heads to the garden house; there, he encounters the household staff, who know nothing about the visitor. Ineko, Denjiro's wife, also appears; Kogoro's confused remarks reveal to her that he is a detective and is aware of her secret. Mrs. Maru sends the staff to look for her husband while trying to persuade Kogoro to keep quiet about her affair. Suddenly, they hear the housekeeper scream and rush to the garden house, where they discover Mr. Maru's body, pierced by a samurai sword. The police arrive shortly thereafter. Inspector Megure has already determined that Mr. Maru struggled with his killer, which explains the complete disarray in the room. Since the victim practiced kendo in his spare time, the perpetrator must also be a skilled swordsman. Conan is the only one who noticed Mr. Maru entering the neighboring building accompanied by another person. In addition to the meeting with Kogoro, Mr. Maru’s schedule for the day lists three other commitments: appointments with his family doctor Ikuya Hatano, the sculptor Makoto Akutsu, and Yuji Suwa. All three are quickly brought to the crime scene, as they were in the vicinity. Upon observing Mr. Suwa’s hands, Conan immediately realizes that he, too, practices kendo.

Cameos
- Denjiro Maru, the victim from the Antique Collector Case, is named after a person working as an assistant of Gosho Aoyama now and then, who is also involved in the creation of the Detective Conan Special Manga.
Crossover
One of the suspects in the Antique Collector Case explains that he has been to the cinema in Kinza, where they played "The Summer Santa Claus" (Natsu no Santa Claus aka The Santa Claus of Summer). Conan Edogawa and Ran Mouri have also been to that movie, which Conan uses to counter his alibi.
The TV in the hotel room at the beginning of the Tenkaichi Festival Case is an ONY brand model and the disposable camera used by the culprit is a "ONY Onicolor Flash" (differing in spelling between "Onycolor" and "Onicolor"). Additionally, Satoru Imatake's next novel mentioned in the same case, "Kenyuu Densetsu" ("Legend of the Swordmaster" or "Brave Sword Legend") is a reference to the Anime Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba, which is translatable as "Legend of the Swordmaster Yaiba" or "Brave Sword Legend Yaiba".
