A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons.

After finding an address, they enter Shiro's apartment and find out Shiro has been murdered.

After a thorough investigation, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit to be Shiro's wife, Kyoko Shibata.

Because of the time frame between the murder and its discovery, Conan removes Shizuka and Yoshikawa from the suspect list. If Shizuka did murder Shiro, fled the crime scene, and went to hire Kogoro in order to create an alibi as the first to discover the body, then she should have known that the door wasn't locked and use it as an excuse to get everyone inside and to the crime scene, not to stall the discovery time further. Moveover, it's unlikely for her to not notice the photo in the victim's hand and retrieve it, since it would've been an incriminating evidence against her. Likewise, Yoshikawa had a large amount of time to dispose of possible evidence(s) against him, and had no need to return to the crime scene after almost half the day had passed, and even if that's the case, it's unlikely for him to keep the arrived Kogoro and the rest from leaving if he wanted to sneak into the crime scene.

Conan reveals that Kyoko falsified Shiro's time of death by placing the morning newspaper by Shiro's late night supper after she returned from the golf club in order to pretend it was breakfast, and by using a timed video cassette recorder to record a show the time of murder would be shifted to during the morning, thus she would be removed from the suspect list due to having an alibi during the time frame. Kyoko originally intended to become the first discoverer of the body, but after she heard a message from Yoshikawa she decided to let him play the role instead of her. She hid inside the emergency exit until the time and pretended that she had just returned from the golf club.

Conan reveals that the photo of Shizuka was used to hide Shiro's real dying message, his wedding ring covered in blood in his right hand, which he noticed after seeing the ring mark on his palm. After she successfully removed the ring, Kyoko knocked down the photo album to make it appeared that Shiro used his last strength to grab the photo. Failing to put the ring back in Shiro's finger, she used bandages to cover the ring mark and took the ring with her, planning to dispose of it after the police left. The fact that she is in possession of the bloodied ring is a prove that she is the murderer of her own husband.

Motive

Kyoko confesses and reveals that Shiro was addicted to Mahjong gambling with Yoshikawa, causing them to fall debt and selling many of their possessios such as television and jewelries. When she heard that he decided to sell her golf club and the katana given by her father as their wedding gift she was forced to kill him. Before being taken by the police, Kyoko asks to change her clothes first, causing Conan to realize that she is infact trying to commit suicide.

Attemped suicide

Location: Apartment

Victim: Kyoko Shibata

Culprit: Kyoko Shibata

With her crime exposed, Kyoko tries to commit suicide, but Shizuka swiftly stops her.

After Kyoko is taken away, Conan asks Shizuka about her true identity after noticing that she had lied to them four times.

If she has dust allergy, it's unlikely that her hobby is knitting with yarn.
She easily identified the fish in the victim's meal by slice, meaning that she is skilled at cooking.
Coincidentally, like Kyoko, Shizuka hides the fact that she is married by covering her wedding ring mark with bandages.
There is no character named Reiko in the novel, as what she was referring to at the cafe was actually Rei-Co (冷コー) or Ice Coffee. She wanted to order the said drink, but relented as only Osakan would call Ice Coffee by that term.

Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother. Shizuka confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he stayed over.

Remastered version

A remastered version of this case was aired on April 1, 2017 (Part 1) and April 8, 2017 (Part 2).

Trivia

According to Shizuka, Guji is a type of [Wikipedia: West Lake|West Lake]] fish.

-* This is the first case with the actual appearance of Heiji Hattori's mother. Although, she was brought up in [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case]], and even seen on screen, it WAS only her feet that showed up. This is the first case, where we get to see and meet her.
+* According to Shizuka, [https://hirokoskitchen.com/2015/06/amadai/ Guji] is a type of [Wikipedia: West Lake|West Lake]] fish.
-* In this case, Azusa had a slight makeover from her appearance in [[The Deduction That Was Too Good]].
-* When Azusa asked Conan, what he wanted, he ordered "iced coffee," which is the first case that he actually ordered it.
-* This is the first time that Conan thought someone might be in the Black Organization since [[Reunion with the Black Organization]], due to Kogoro's client dropped Shinichi Kudo's name to Kogoro, and heard that he has been coming to and fro from the Mouri Detective Agency a lot.
-* According to [[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]], [https://hirokoskitchen.com/2015/06/amadai/ Guji] is a type of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lake West Lake] Fish.
-* This is the first time that Sango Yokomizo mistook a female with Kogoro, in short, the client, for Mrs. Kogoro Mouri.
-* Even though Heiji visited Conan, when Conan got shot in [[The Desperate Revival]], and visited Tokyo in [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case]] before that, his mother was making reference to [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]], when her son was injured, while in Osaka, and NOT TOKYO.
-* At this point, Heiji has not been injured in Tokyo at all yet, although he has visited Tokyo and Kudo/Conan a few times already.
-* However, Hattori's mother is correct that while they were in Osaka, they did fail to meet his mother, which she considers a lack of responsibility and bad manners. Esp. since her son was injured in the hospital.
