This episode picks up where the last one left off: Conan and Officer Hagiwara Chihaya are on the hunt for the kidnappers who abducted Professor Agasa. They are riding on Hagiwara's motorcycle, speeding along Tatesuka Route 3. Conan receives a message from Ran that photos of President Nanjo being kidnapped by the police are circulating online. This increases the danger, as the kidnappers might kill Agasa if they realize they have the wrong person.

Conan and Hagiwara receive information from the Kanagawa headquarters about two recent firefighter operations. From the sound of a fire bell that he hears through Agasa's glasses, Conan deduces the kidnappers' whereabouts. As they approach, they learn that the kidnappers escaped a police checkpoint. Conan figures out that the kidnappers changed their car's color using thermochromic paint and hot tea to pass the checkpoint unnoticed.

Hagiwara's superior, Jugo, confronts them, criticizing her reckless driving and the presence of a child on her motorcycle. Despite the reprimand, Hagiwara continues the pursuit. They spot the kidnappers' car, leading to a wild chase. Hagiwara performs daring motorcycle stunts, including a "stoppie," to close the gap. Conan handcuffs himself to Hagiwara as they accelerate.

The kidnappers finally realize they have the wrong person after seeing the photos of President Nanjo online. They decide to kill Agasa and abandon the car. At that moment, Hagiwara and Conan catch up. Hagiwara opens her sunroof, and Conan throws a tracking device onto the kidnappers' car. The kidnappers fire shots, but Hagiwara skillfully dodges them. With a kick to her motorcycle, she forces the kidnappers to stop.

Agasa is transported in an ambulance, and it is confirmed that he will survive, as the bullet missed his vital organs. Hagiwara faces disciplinary action for her reckless driving but is protected by her superior, who covers for her. The episode ends with Hagiwara feeling she has done a favor for her late brother Kenji, who was killed by a bomber seven years ago.

What follows is a high-octane chase filled with adrenaline, clever deductions, and daring stunts, as Conan and Hagiwara work together to rescue Professor Agasa from a life-threatening situation.
