All of the three locked room murders were done by the forgotten 100-year-old pipeline network, which was overlooked by the police. It is revealed that Sakuragi is Sophia's son. His motive is getting revenge on the three "saints", as they witnessed Sophia setting her house on fire but left without saying a word, as well as giving the inheritance to Tsurumi, since she is actually his daughter. Sakuragi attempts to kill all the people presented, but is intervened by Tsurumi. He then tries to commit suicide by setting himself as well as the place on fire, but is saved by Conan, Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi. |

The man introduces himself as Jouji Miura, a lawyer. At Miura's office, they learn about the story about Elizabeth Montgomery; her will and the inheritors: Jirou Toda, Seizou Motomachi, Riki Isezaki - the three "saints" of Ejinbara - and their children, Youko Tsurumi - Elizabeth's adopted child, Isao Sakuragi - the pastor of the Ejinbara church, and Miura himself; as well as the threatening letter that Miura received.
Later, Jirou Toda is found dead in his basement.

A similar threatening letter is found in the room. Conan notices the rusts in the room, which are the same as the ones inside the envelope containing Miura's letter. Also, there is a strange scent in the room.
Miura says he's worried about Youko Tsurumi, as she lives alone and is also one of the inheritors, so they go to her shop to check on her. Here, they meet Isao Sakuragi, as well as Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys. In the shop, Conan and Ai see a picture of Elizabeth and a woman that greatly resembles Tsurumi.
The group later return to the hotel they are staying, which is also the Ejinbara toy museum. The owner of the place happens to be Seizou Motomachi, who also received a threatening letter. That night, an explosion occurs in Motomachi's room.
