Conan, Kogoro, and the others arrive at a hotel on the border between Gunma and Nagano at the invitation of Inspector Yamamura. They join the Nagano police officers Yamato, Morofushi, and Uehara to investigate a murder case.

Nakata Yumi, a streamer, shows Kyoko, Tsukishima, and Hanayama a photo from a recent trip to the hot springs. They recount how they saved Yuba Chizu from a car accident five years ago. Chizu's mother died, but the group befriended Chizu, who is now unconscious in the hospital after an incident at Tsukishima's apartment.

Kyoko explains that she was participating in a video chat during the murder, using a ring light. Hanayama claims he was watching TV and confirms that he ordered room service around 11 p.m. Yamamura verifies these alibis through various sources, including a hotel employee and Kyoko's online friends.

The police discuss the missing murder weapon. Morofushi points out that Tsukishima's body was found in a specific position, suggesting a dying message. Yamamura recalls an incident from his childhood involving a sign at their secret hideout.

Conan demonstrates how the killer used a simple trick involving phones, a ring light, and a string to create an alibi, making it seem like someone was in the room when they weren't. Yumi, the murderer, is confronted with evidence, including a weapon hidden in her hair bun and a weight Chizu had attached to her wrist.

Yumi confesses to killing Tsukishima after discovering he delayed Chizu's rescue to gain fame. Tsukishima's actions led to her mother's death. Yumi planned the murder to avenge Chizu and frame Kyoko and Hanayama as suspects.

Morofushi deciphers Tsukishima's dying message by using her body posture and objects to spell out "Nakata Yumi." Despite her plan, Yumi's crime is uncovered. The episode ends with Yamamura reflecting on a postcard from his friend Hiromitsu, depicting him as a hero of justice.
