Part 1
Kogoro is hired by a rich man named Mikio Fujieda to find out who wants to kill him and had been promised ¥10 million after solving the case. Kogoro however spends ¥8 million and is unable to solve the case. Ran decides to call her mother, Eri Kisaki, to help solve the mystery. Conan, Ran, and Eri head to Fujieda's mansion to investigate only to run into Conan's mother, Yukiko who is investigating the mystery in place of her husband Yusaku. The two mothers reminiscence about a high-school pagent and how it ended in a tie due to a person not handing in their ballet. Ran reveals that Kogoro has an unhanded ballet from the contest which sparks the interest of the two. Later that night, Fujieda is caught on a camera after being shot.
Part 2
Conan investigates and realizes who the murderer is after receiving a hint from his father. Conan reveals the murderer to be the butler, Shouhachi Ueki. Conan reveals that Fujieda was drugged with Isoprenaline causing him to be stunned and dazed when he stood up to stretch causing them to believe that the culprit was in the room at the time of the murder. Conan explains that Fijieda was shot from outside the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that the coffee the butler served should contain traces of Isoprenaline and that the butler should have the silencer in him. Ueki confesses and reveals he murdered his Fujieda in order to preserve the garden his former master worked so hard to build. At the Mouri agency, Yukiko and Eri ask Kogoro who he voted for their high-school pagent. Kogoro reveals he voted by Eri since he thought Miss Teitan meant mistake and that it was a mistake for Eri to have entered the competition.
