Part 1

Conan, Kogoro, and Ran take the overnight North Star Express to Hokkaido to meet a former client. On the train, they meet up with a series of people. However, in the night, a murder case occurs when a burglar seemingly kills a jewelry trader, and escapes through the window.

Conan noticed that the plot is very similar to an unpublished novel written by his father that had been stolen ten years before. However, unable to contact Yusaku Kudo, Conan takes the case into his own hands, and finds his mother on the train.

Part 2

Conan reveals to the suspicious woman that he knows her identity - it is Yukiko Kudo, his mother, in disguise. As they discuss the case, Kogoro calls all the passengers to witness his inaccurate deduction, enabling Conan to figure out the trick. However, a worried Conan recalls that in the novel, the detective boy who solved the case was murdered by the trap he set for the criminal. Yukiko volunteers to act as a decoy to help him find the proof.

When the train lands at Sapporo Station, however, Conan and Yukiko are separated and the criminal moves, intending to push her onto the tracks.

Attempted murder

Location: Sapporo Station Chūō-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido

Victim: Yukiko Kudo as Fumiyo Akechi

Crime: Pushed to railway

Culprit: Toshinori Kaetsu

The killer attempts to kill Yukiko by pushing her into the railway but is stopped by Yusaku.

Yusaku appears just in time and reveals the trick and his own identity to the criminal, who had idolized his work. The culprit is Toshinori Kaetsu.

Kaetsu dressed like Asama and made people believe that he jump off the train by using his fishing equipment. First, he hit Asama in the head until he died and broke the window using silenced gun. Then, he put the fishing line through the belt loop on the back of his pants and hung him outside the window. He tied the side of the fishing line to the pulley and the other to something stable outside the room. Lastly, he used another fishing line, looped one end, and put a piece of tape through it. He passed the other end into the lock and tied the end to the line he cut. After that, he went to the lobby car, shot Izumo, and ran back to Asama's room. He opened the door and fired some shots to make people believe he shattered the window then. He saw Kogoro and the conductors following him, so he shot at them. While they were shielding themselves from the bullets, he went to hide himself next to the stairs and cut the fishing line to release the string from the pulley so the corpse will be released. When the line was cut, the corpse would drag the fishing line tied to the door down. The dragging force released the tape but the inertia made the door close completely. He used this trick to framed Asama on the murder of Izumo. He chose to operate in the tunnel in the middle of the night because he didn't want people off the train to see the corpse hanging off. Also, the hallway was dark so no one would see the fishing line tied to the room. Lastly, he put sleeping pills in his wife's dinner box so she couldn't hear the gunshot. The shirt the criminal used is found on his luggage together with the disguise outfit. This is the evidence that he is really the culprit.

Kaetsu admitted the two murders. Izumo and Asama were in a joint plan to have Asama's own jewelry store robbed. In the process a worker at the store who is his girlfriend gets kidnapped and murdered by Asama by forcing her to over consume drugs. He stole Yusaku's incomplete novel to use it to construct the murder. He is soon arrested. Yusaku and Yukiko flew back to Los Angeles.

Trivia

This episode seems to connect with Yusaku's stolen manuscript that was mentioned in Detective Boys Survival Case, although a stolen manuscript did show up at the end of that episode.
This is the third case that Yukiko Kudo is involved in with her son. The other two cases are the Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case and The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases, however, unlike in those two cases, she is in another new disguise, and appears to be completely unrelated to Conan in any way, shape, or form.
This case brought up a jewelry store robbery backstory, that took place recently, in which Conan was completely uninvolved in it, due to being on a camping trip recently.
Even in Hokkaido Prefecture, Kogoro Mouri is renowned, and Detective Tamura stated, "He's cursed. They say everywhere he goes, a crime occurs."
This is the third case that takes place aboard a train, the other two are The Shinkansen's Bomb Case and The Train Trick Murder Case, however it is only the second case that takes place about a murder, and the only one based on an unfinished, stolen manuscript.
This is the first case that shows a bamboo sword for Kendo.
In this case, Yukiko set herself up as bait in order to help solve this case.
