Conan is able to figure out that the recent events were a distraction, the boy asks Megure and his subordinates to come to the Furai city’s Frozen Foods factory, where he, Kogoro, Ran, and Ishikawa are to capture the thieves trying to steal the real treasure. As the Mouris arrive with Ishikawa’s taxi, Megure informs them that the police have caught the wrong target, as the thieves were just elderly thieves-for-hire, with the shortest one having a sudden heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

Conan is able to figure out that the recent robbery and Kogoro's invitation to the peculiar event were a distraction for the real intent of the scheme: The stolen jewels were to be minced in Furai City's newly-built and smuggled out in the form of fried foods. He asks Megure and his subordinates to come to the Furai City’s Frozen Foods factory, whilst inviting Kogoro, Ran, and Ishikawa separately using Megure's identity. Once they meet at the factory, Megure informs Kogoro that the police have indeed caught the wrong target, as the thieves were elderly thieves-for-hire. Moreover, the shortest thief suddenly had a heart attack and was sent to the police hospital.

The container flies around the area, and with help from Ishikawa's fellow "taxi assistants," they are able to track it down. Strangely enough, the destination of the container is the police hospital. Conan quickly deduces that the controller of the drones, who is also the crime boss, is none other than the '''old man who previously had a heart attack.''' Or rather, he had faked his heart attack just for this purpose.

==== Conan's deduction as Kogoro ====
 
The crime boss hid the jewels stolen into a container of a frozen foods factory in Furai city, so they can smuggle them in the form of the '''factory’s products'''. The recent robbery in which nothing was stolen acts as a diversion for Megure, while the event Kogoro is invited acts as a diversion for the great detective.
 
 
 
==== Not everything are straight forward ====
 
The crime boss even has him and other elderly as thieves-for-hire to perform another distraction so that "group of well-dressed thieves" can take the jewels container easily without the interference of the police.
 
 
 
And once the container has been taken out, the crime boss of the whole plot, '''old man''', control the drones to fly it to the hospital where he was taken to after '''faking''' his heart attack.

Conan and Ishikawa are able to catch on with the drones thanks to Ishikawa’s colleagues’ help. However, when Conan pursues him up to the rooftop of the hospital, old man jumps out of the building and lands onto the container with drones. He plans to fly the container to a boat as part of his escape plan, but his intentions are stopped when Ishikawa decides to perform a mid-air crash off of a road bridge and onto the container with his taxi, causing the criminal to lose his balance and fall into the arms of Megure, who then declares: Crime Boss arrested at 4:15 P.M!

Although Conan is able to corner the old man at the rooftop of the hospital, the old man uses the container as a makeshift aircraft, and flies away from the hospital towards a boat docked at a nearby port. If he were to land on the boat, he would have successfully finished his escape plan, along with smuggling the jewels. But as Ishikawa and Conan chase the man via the city roads, Ishikawa decides on a bold move. He performs a leap off a road bridge just as the old man passes under, landing onto the container with his taxi. This causes the criminal to lose his balance and fall into the arms of Megure, who then declares the crime boss "arrested at 4:15 P.M."

Situation

Riding in a taxi driven by Kogoro-superfan Genki Ishikawa, Conan and Kogoro travel to Furai City to attend an event organized by the city. They had supposedly been recommended to be special guests of the event by Megure, but Megure himself denies any knowledge of this. Megure adds that, recently, a series of mysterious jewel robberies have occurred in the metropolitan area...

Serial robberies and attempted smuggling?
EP1188 Case1.jpg
Stolen items: A heap of expensive rings, necklaces, and crowns
There is no sign of them being sold domestically. Therefore, it is likely that these stolen items will be smuggled out of the country.

Since there has been no sign of the jewelry being sold domestically, the police thought the crime boss would attempt to smuggle them out of the country, and therefore set up the blockades in order to capture him. However, a strange robber in which nothing was stolen, and the thieves were captured so easily catches the attention of Megure, making him think that someone is toying the police.
