Kogoro and Ishikawa initially came to the conclusion that the robber wasn't came after the jewels, but the washing fee, as every participants had to pay 100,000 yen in advance. However, the money are safe and accounted for. Conan later came to a conclusion, after hearing that the suspicious duo were taking pictures of participant car's license plates, that Yoko Matsuda was faking the attempted robbery to create a commotion and lead the shrine staffs away from the main building. So the suspicious duo can get in the shrine and take information of the shrine's jewelry record. The reason to take the participant's license plates is because they can be used to identify the name and address of the owners. Which they can cross-examine with the jewelry record to find who has the most jewels and plan out a robbery crime.

However, they didn't expect Ishikawa to came in before the shrine staffs. And because Matsuda have a red-colored mark on his mouth from eating Kogoro's sandwitch (as Kogoro was putting too much ketchup) Matsuda was terrified by his face and let out the second scream which they didn't plan for. This prompted one of the suspicious duo to attack Ishikawa and trapped him in the taxi truck to keep him away.

After hearing from the shrine maiden that the person who washed the most jewelry, that is the owner the Ginza branch of New York jewelry store named Wonder Jewelry has left the shrine a while ago. Ishikawa drive his taxi (with Conan on board) to catch up with the owner. However, by the time they catch up with her, she was already robbed by Matsuda and her suspicious duo.
