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. There is a person on top of the building, but it turns out he received someone’s request to rush to the location, thus becoming the eyewitness of the case. Heiji and Conan then come down from that building to investigate the scene, and Heiji immediately recognizes the man’s cause of death to be similar to the previous murders in Osaka. Just then, a woman becomes terrified upon seeing the body, and she escapes from the scene before the duo can ask more about her. Fortunately, Conan has already remembered her license plate so that they can investigate her later on.
The previous murders in Osaka that are still under investigation are revealed to the Mouris, including the way some victims had relation to each other: Sotaro Goshi has been reached out by some of the police because he had relation with the first victim and the third victim (most recent one). The first victim who died in Toyonaka city is Hidetoshi Nagao, Goshi’s secretary who resigned after he took the blame for a stunning corruption case. The third victim who died in Hirakata city is Kazuto Noyasu, Goshi’s former personal chauffeur. Heiji (who is secretly carrying Conan now) and Sakata decide to come to Goshi's location to ask him on their own. Before Heiji leaves, Kazuha reminds him to always wear “it” along, to which he reassures her that he will never forget. Ran becomes curious so she asks Kazuha what she was referring to, and Kazuha reveals that ever since the tied together incident, she used two pieces of the broken handcuffs to create amulets for her and him, one for each.
On the three detectives’ way to Goshi’s location, Sakata reveals to Heiji and Conan the identity of the woman that ran away from the third murder scene is Sumie Okazaki, and makes a call to her. At Okazaki’s apartment, she is seen very terrified upon hearing the news of the serial murder, so when she receives a call from Sakata (a police detective, if one wonders what is his current occupation), she begs him for help and promises to reveal everything. However, she dies anyway, in the similar fashion to all three previous cases.
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.

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.
