The episode begins with author Masamura Chu's request to investigate the past of the deceased Yasuki Taizo. During his inquiries, Conan encounters various individuals connected to Yasuki, including city council member Kataoka Hiroki, who admits to knowing Yasuki since middle school but denies having a close relationship with him.
Conan learns that Yasuki was working on a novel before his death, which he intended to show Masamura. Meanwhile, Masamura receives several threatening letters demanding that he halt the publication of his sequel novel Scary Little Monsters, which revolves around a group of boys attacking adults with metal bats. Despite the threats, Masamura continues his work.
Tragically, Masamura is attacked with pepper spray and killed. The police investigate who might have held a grudge against Masamura. They also examine Yasuki's past, suspecting a connection between his unpublished novel and Masamura's work.
Conan discovers that the events depicted in the novel, which were supposed to have occurred on February 15th, actually took place on February 22nd. This leads him to suspect that the novel is based on a real incident involving Yasuki and others, including Kataoka.
The investigation reveals that Kataoka and a sushi chef named Yoshinari Yoshito were involved in the earlier attacks described in the novel. Kataoka admits to sending the threatening letters to Masamura but denies any involvement in his murder.
The true culprit is revealed to be nurse Takeuchi Chigusa, whose father fell victim to the attacks 20 years ago. She attempted to confront Masamura about the contents of the novel, leading to his accidental death during a struggle. Takeuchi's actions were driven by the trauma and suffering her family endured due to the past attacks.
