The episode begins with a woman, Nakajima Takako, visiting the Mori Detective Agency to report her husband, Nakajima Hiroshi, as missing. Although she had approached the police, they did not take her seriously, so she sought the help of detective Mori Kogoro. Hiroshi, a 36-year-old office worker, has been missing for three days, and Takako is deeply worried about him.
Mori agrees to take the case and begins the investigation by examining some of Hiroshi's left-behind belongings, including business cards, photos, a laptop, and a note written by his wife. They discover that Hiroshi had quit his job six months prior, which his wife was unaware of, as she had been tracking his movements via GPS and believed he was still going to the office. Takako is a controlling wife who only allows Hiroshi 2,000 yen per month for expenses and demands that he regularly reports his whereabouts.
The investigation leads them to a diving shop, where they learn that Hiroshi used to work there and had a passion for sharks. Due to financial constraints, however, he had not visited the shop in four years. They also speak with Hiroshi's brother Ryu, who is unsurprised by his disappearance due to Takako's controlling nature.
Mori and Conan conclude that Hiroshi had been spending his time in the basement of his former office building, where he had set up a secret aquarium after winning a billion yen in the lottery. Unfortunately, they discover Hiroshi's corpse in the aquarium. They suspect Nishimura Masa, a former coworker and friend of Hiroshi, as the murderer. Nishimura initially denies the crime, but evidence such as a dropped earring and surveillance footage proves his guilt. Nishimura had helped Hiroshi build the aquarium but killed him after an argument over splitting the lottery winnings.
In the end, it turns out that Hiroshi had spent his entire lottery winnings on building the secret aquarium, leaving nothing for his wife. The episode concludes with Mori and Conan discussing what they want to eat, followed by a preview for the next episode, "Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko's Detective Notes 2."
