The episode begins in Tengu City, where the blackmailer Inumaru Jiro confronts real estate agent Sanada Hiroaki. During a heated argument, Sanada pushes Inumaru to the ground, causing him to hit his head and appear dead. Kawakatsu Daigo, a merchant and friend of Sanada, suggests burying the body and creating an alibi. Meanwhile, Yukawa Saori, a victim of Inumaru's scams, demands her money back from Sanada. On Kawakatsu's advice, Sanada pays her 30 million yen to avoid trouble.

Detective Kogoro Mouri is hired by Sanada to investigate the incident but is soon fired. However, Kogoro suspects something is amiss and decides to keep investigating. Sanada confesses to Kogoro that he accidentally killed Inumaru during the confrontation. He explains how Inumaru had been blackmailing him and how he and Kawakatsu buried the body. Later, Saori appears and demands the money Inumaru took from her. Sanada gives it to her under Kawakatsu's guidance.

With Conan's help, Kogoro concludes that Inumaru, Saori, and Kawakatsu conspired to scam Sanada. However, they later discover that Inumaru was actually murdered and suspect Kawakatsu and Saori. The police find Inumaru's body, and the evidence points to Kawakatsu's involvement.

Conan and Kogoro confront Saori, who seems unaware of Inumaru's death, suggesting she wasn't involved in the murder. They conclude that Kawakatsu alone committed Inumaru's murder. Further investigations, however, reveal that Sanada orchestrated the entire plan to avenge his wife's death, which had been caused by Inumaru ten years earlier. Sanada had overheard Inumaru's plan to scam him and seized the opportunity to take revenge by framing Kawakatsu for the murder.

Sanada confesses to the crime, stating he wanted to avenge his wife. The episode ends with Kogoro and Conan reflecting on the case, and Kogoro regretting that he couldn't personally attend a product exhibition in Hokkaido.
