The episode begins with a lively conversation at the Italian izakaya RESO, where the restaurant owners of Beika Gourmet Restaurant Street gather and reminisce about past encounters with Detective Mori Kogoro, whom they affectionately call the "sleeping Kogoro." Yamaura Takashi, the owner of RESO, basks in the camaraderie, unaware that a storm is brewing.
A sudden dispute interrupts their cheerfulness. Kusumi Hiroyuki, the owner of the alley, demands the closure of the restaurants, sparking tensions. Kusumi's heartless disregard for the owners' emotional attachment to the alley stirs anger, but the situation escalates further when Kusumi is found dead in the bathroom, initially assumed to be an accident.
Kogoro suspects foul play. The bathroom's locking mechanism, which engages when a medal is inserted, suggests the presence of a second party. The scenario is chilling: Kusumi was not alone in the restroom, and his death was no accident—it was murder.
Suspicion falls on the restaurant owners, all of whom have a motive to get rid of Kusumi. This revelation sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community, as each member grapples with the possibility of betrayal from within their ranks. Among them, Yonezawa Yuji, the owner of the creative cuisine "Seventy-Seven," becomes the prime suspect due to his lack of an alibi. In the end, however, Fumio, the owner of the sushi shop, is accused when a bottle in his store is believed to be the murder weapon.
An unexpected twist reveals the true culprit. Kogoro points to Yonezawa as the murderer. The murder weapon: frozen bread dough, chosen to leave no trace after baking. A flour mixture provides the damning evidence that leads to Yonezawa's confession.
Yonezawa admits his guilt, fueled by his resentment toward Kusumi for harassing the now-deceased soba shop owner. He also reveals his plan to frame Fumio due to his decision to leave the alley. This revelation paints a poignant picture of betrayal and the lengths one would go to protect cherished memories.
