Situation
Part 1
Kogoro is hired to capture the best assassin in the country, a man or woman known only as the Fox. The one who hired him for such a difficult mission is Ushio Bunzo, a millionaire who once hired the Fox to kill him since he was supposedly about to die... but having found out that he will live after all, he wants to back off the deal and have the Fox captured. Bunzo asks Kogoro to follow him alongside Ran and Conan in a hiking trip that the Fox is supposed to attend as well - but when multiple murders begin to occur though, it could cost everyone involved their life.

Resolution
The Fox was responsible for Hirai's death and the one who was responsible for Saegusa's death was Akira Kawabe. However, the whole trip was a gambit from Bunzo, who wanted to kill the Fox with his own hands. He never was ill or willing to die: it was all feigned to get close to the Fox and murder him in punishment for having accidentally caused the death of his beloved daughter Chisato, a girl around Conan's (physical) age; two years ago, during one of his assassinations, his car crashed on a school bus and she was the only fatal victim.
The Fox was disguised as Juukichi Iwata, the cottage caretaker, and Hirai was killed because he regularly traversed and knew the real Iwata, so he was a potential spanner in the Fox's plans. At the same time, Saegusa's death was a completely unrelated incident; Kawabe killed her to silence her after they both commited a fraud.
Bunzo manages to confronts "Iwata" aka the Fox, furiously calling him out for Chisato's death. Conan stops Bunzo by showing him the picture of Chisato that he kept in his wallet and begging him to not taint his hands, then he makes sure the Fox is taken into custody.
Trivia
- The story Shingo Nose is said to have written describes the plot of another anime original episode, The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case. Nose's character design seems to be based off of Maya's: he even appears to be wearing her headband.
