Case
Situation
Kogoro has just solved a case of running away from home due to failing the entrance exam, which was actually thanks to Conan finding a photo of the missing person on the internet. The Mouri family decides to go eat in Gunma prefecture, but Kogoro doesn’t believe what Conan has just looked up on the internet and decides to ask Yamamura, while Ran grumbles in her mind that they found the person thanks to the internet. However, as soon as he hears that Kogoro is in Gunma, Yamamura asks him to come because at the crime scene on the border of Gunma and Nagano, there are three Nagano police officers who looks scary to Yamamura, whom the Mouri family immediately recognized as the police trio Taka'aki Morofushi, Kansuke Yamato, and Yui Uehara after they arrives.
Part 1
Yamamura seems surprised that the Mouri’s family knows the Nagano Police trio, though he has met Kansuke and Yui in a serial murder in Tokyo. He looks at Taka’aki as he explains that he didn’t join the said case, though Taka’aki looks familiar to Yamamura. Back at the scene, as it turns out, the Nagano trio came first, and when they came back with their coroner, Yamamura was there and accidentally messed up the crime scene. What makes it worse is Yamamura can’t completely recall the pose of the victim before he touched it, which is why Kansuke just wants to get him off the case, but Taka’aki steps in and offers collaboration between two prefectural police.
The victim is a streamer who makes videos to gain profit from advertisements. He also went there with some fellow streamers, who are currently the main suspects of the case. The Nagano Police decide to interrogate them again, this time with Yamamura and the Mouri’s family. First, the woman named Yumi Nakata says that she heard a strange noise outside the window at 11:00 pm, and when she opened the window to look outside, she saw a body in the parking lot and a person wearing a hoodie sweatshirt running away from the body, so she called Gunma prefectural police; next, the woman name Kyouko Hoshikawa is almost identical but she called Nagano prefectural police and the ambulance; the two then informed this to Senta Hanayama.
And the reason for four of them to come to the hotel was… compare the deliciousness between 2 specific foods, with Yamamura and Kansuke saying the food in their prefecture is better. Conan notices that there is a camera, with the Nagano trio having already watched but still decide to watch again with everyone. It is seen in the footage that the victim tried to find the border and looked at his watch when being beaten by the culprit, which means that he was trying to say something with Nagano-Gunma or with the border.
When Taka’aki is deducing, Yamamura keeps looking at his face and tries to ask about Taka’aki and later figures out that the latter was Hiromitsu Morofushi’s brother. He expresses that no wonder Taka’aki looks similar to Hiro and tells him about his childhood time with Hiro when he met him at the Nagano-Gunma border, they even share a base together but one question he kept in mind was why Hiro occasionally called that Misao’s home. But Hiro suddenly disappeared due to peculiar circumstances. Back to the present, Kansuke mentions Hiro as a police officer, in which Taka’aki replies that he has left the unit and can’t ever be contacted again.
Back to the investigation, the murder weapon has now been identified as a sock and the aforementioned hoodie, and it appears that a heavy object was used to put into the sock to turn it into a murder weapon. Conan, Kansuke and Taka’aki deduce that the culprit must be one out of the three interrogated people, with Conan explaining why they can conclude that through the camera footage, so another and much further interrogation has to be made to find the true culprit. The first one is Nakata, Conan reveals that he has recorded the footage and wants to confirm the woman in the footage, with Nakata praising him for being so smart, however, Kogoro suddenly drops a picture in her room, which sparks Conan’s curiosity.
Part 2
Conan asks her about the woman who is not present here, which she says was Chizu Yaba and suggests Conan to ask from the other two as well. Next, Hoshikawa tells them about Yaba and the miraculous rescue which everyone was talking about on the Internet, but recalls that Yaba was found injured after falling from a staircase in a building when the four were shopping. Finally, Hanayama was watching a show on TV with an employee who confirmed that as he called curry for dinner. Taka’aki asks him about Yaba, which he mentions that the victim was acting weird toward the accident.
Suddenly a call for food from Hanayama’s phone reminds everyone to have lunch. It’s also revealed that Taka’aki and Kansuke have found the weapon used to murder the victim, with Yamamura finally recalling about the pose when he sees Kogoro pose upon finishing his dishes, the truth is then revealed.
