The episode begins with the Detective Boys playing in a park, where they accidentally discover the body of Takamatsu Jiro, a 50-year-old moneylender known for his illegal practices. The police, led by Inspector Megure, arrive and determine that Takamatsu was likely bludgeoned to death with a stone found near the body. The estimated time of death is narrowed down to a 25-minute window during which the children found the body.
The investigation reveals that Takamatsu's valuables, including his wallet and watch, are missing, suggesting a botched robbery. The police also find footprints likely belonging to the perpetrator, but the trail ends at a water faucet near the park entrance, where the culprit probably washed off the blood.
Conan and the Detective Boys decide to investigate further. They discover a blood trail leading away from the park on a secluded path, suggesting the perpetrator tried to remain undetected. However, the trail vanishes near a main road, leaving no further clues.
While the police continue their search, Conan and the Detective Boys come across a recent bicycle accident. A man named Sakaguchi Kanta had crashed into a utility pole and was taken away by an ambulance due to his injuries. Conan concludes that the culprit used the bicycle accident as a cover to escape in the ambulance, hiding his bloodstained appearance beneath his own injuries.
Conan and the Detective Boys confront Sakaguchi at the hospital. They dispute his claim that the accident was unintentional, pointing out the lack of skid marks at the scene. Conan accuses Sakaguchi of deliberately causing the accident to conceal the bloodstains from his crime under the guise of an accident.
Sakaguchi initially denies the accusations, but Conan presents evidence linking him to the crime. The police examine the clothes Sakaguchi was wearing when admitted to the hospital and find both his blood and Takamatsu's on them. Faced with this evidence, Sakaguchi confesses to the murder, explaining it was a spur-of-the-moment act during a botched robbery that turned violent.
The episode ends with the Detective Boys taking an unconventional shortcut on their way home, humorously reflecting on the day's events and the unexpected twists in solving the case.
