Case
Situation
In Osaka prefecture, Heizo Hattori is discussing with Detective Toyama about two murders reported in their prefecture. There were no eyewitnesses in any of the cases while they share the same method: A stab wound on both victims’ chest wallet pockets that pierces to their heart.
Meanwhile, Heiji is taking Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to Osaka prefecture to visit under the guidance of a volunteer Osaka officer Yusuke Sakata. It is this occasion that the Mouris gets to meet Kazuha Toyama for the first time, claiming herself and Heiji to be inseparable and warning Shinichi Kudo, whom she mistakes Ran for, not to be in between the two. Heiji has to step in and explain that the person whom he referred to as Kudo with Kazuha is actually “he” and not “she”, thus resolving the misunderstanding. Kazuha reveals that she and Heiji once got stuck to each other with a pair of handcuffs when they were little, and they had to perform activities together until someone broke the handcuffs. Just as everyone is on their way to the next visit location, a body falls from a nearby building right onto their car. Notable things on the scene are: Someone received a call to reach the top of the building in hurry and became an eyewitness by chance, the cause of death is just similar to that of the two previous murders in Osaka prefecture, and a woman who runs away from the scene after she saw the body.
Details of the recent murders in Osaka are revealed to the Mouris, including the two murders Osaka police are handling: Hidetoshi Nagao was murdered in Toyonaka city, Tayo Nishiguchi was murdered in Hirakata city, and the victim of the earlier case this day is Kazuto Noyasu. Sakata then shows everyone a video tape of Sotaro Goshi in an interview of a stunning corruption case that his secretary Hidetoshi Nagao took the blame for and resigned as a result. The actual reason Sakata wants to show the video is actually because Noyasu is actually once Goshi’s personal driver, which explains why some police have reached out to the man. Before Heiji leaves with Sakata to find the man, Kazuha reminds him to always wear “it” along, to which he reassures her that he will. It is revealed that after the accidental tied up incident, Kazuha had used two pieces of the broken handcuffs to make her and Heiji one amulet each, and those amulets have been working out pretty well. Heiji, Sakata, and Conan (who sneaked in) try to find the woman that ran away from the third murder scene, however, when the three finally reach the location, the same thing happened to her.
Eventually, they discover that the victims as well as MP Goji all attended the same driving school and were involved in a fatal accident 20 years prior. Heiji, who makes the discovery, decides to confront the MP. Conan joins Ran and Kazuha who tell him that Osaka Police have discovered the hiding place of a criminal on the run, and that they suspect said criminal, Kiichiro Numabuchi, to be involved in the murders.

Resolution
Manga to anime changes
- In the manga, Heiji remarks that the trick that was used to make the corpse of the third victim fall to the ground is the same as the one used in a case that Kogoro (or rather, Conan) solved before. This part was removed in the anime.
