The episode begins with Conan and the Detective Boys going shopping, but their day takes a turn when they stumble upon a crime scene at a tanning salon. An employee of the salon, Tsunoda Yasuo, discovers a corpse in one of the tanning rooms. The victim is identified as Nishitani Shin, a student at Beika International University and a regular customer of the salon.

During the investigation, it is revealed that Nishitani was poisoned. The poison was found in the tanning gel applied to her body and in the gel container in the room. The police, including Detectives Takagi and Chiba, question the other individuals present at the salon at the time of the incident. These include Ozawa Masaru, a three-time student bodybuilding champion, and Nagano Takeshi, both bodybuilders and acquaintances of the victim.

As the investigation progresses, Tsunoda is accused of the murder. The police find evidence that he embezzled the salon's profits, and a container of poisoned tanning gel is discovered in his bag. However, Tsunoda vehemently denies the murder charges.

Meanwhile, Conan is dissatisfied with the conclusion of the case. He reviews the details and realizes there is no clear motive for Tsunoda to kill Nishitani. He also wonders about the significance of the salon's dimly lit hallway and how the perpetrator managed to poison the gel. Ayumi's illustrated diary, in which she documented the case, provides Conan with a breakthrough.

Conan concludes that the actual target of the murder was not Nishitani but Nagano. The culprit had mistaken Nishitani for Nagano because the salon's hallway was poorly lit, and both men had similar dental implants that glow under blacklight. The implants were Nishitani's last major purchase, which he had mentioned to Nagano.

Conan confronts Ozawa and accuses him of intending to kill his rival Nagano to eliminate the competition in an upcoming bodybuilding contest. Ozawa had confused Nishitani with Nagano due to their similar dental implants and ended up killing the wrong person. When Ozawa attempts to attack Conan, he is restrained and arrested by Detectives Takagi and Chiba, who arrive at the scene.

The episode ends with the Detective Boys enjoying a meal at Poirot, courtesy of Detective Chiba. The meal is a special high-protein, low-calorie dish recommended by bodybuilders for muscle gain and weight loss. The Detective Boys humorously wonder if eating the dish will make them as muscular as bodybuilders.
