While searching for a new mystery novel, Conan witnesses a kidnapping. The victim, Mimura Kazuo, is abducted by the married couple Wakai Hayato and Chiaki. Determined to save Kazuo, Conan follows the kidnappers to their hotel room and switches places with the child to remain as his substitute. Conan discovers that Hayato and Chiaki were forced into their crime because their own son, Tetsuya, is being held hostage.
Conan uses his detective skills to unravel the complex situation involving two interconnected kidnapping cases. The kidnappers, who received instructions and tools from the true culprit via a manual, find themselves caught in a dangerous game. Conan advises them to pretend to follow the instructions while simultaneously searching for Tetsuya.
Detective Takagi learns that the couple demanded a ransom of 300 million yen from Kazuo’s father, Mimura Masami, the CEO of Mimura Heavy Industry. The police set up checkpoints across the city and await the perpetrators' next move. Under Conan’s guidance, Chiaki and Hayato attempt to outwit the mastermind and rescue Tetsuya.
As they devise their strategy, Conan learns crucial details from Chiaki about the suspicious phone call and the photo of Tetsuya. Using image editing, Conan identifies the location near Toto Tower and a construction site. They rush there and save Tetsuya amid a police operation.
Meanwhile, Inspector Megure negotiates with the mastermind, who demands the ransom be split and two vehicles driven in opposite directions. Megure suspects a hidden agenda and positions police at key points, including Shiba Park.
Conan notices the scent of perfume in the apartment and connects it to Chiaki’s former classmate, Kuroki Naho—now Mimura Naho, Kazuo’s stepmother. The revelation that Naho orchestrated the kidnappings for her son, Sakae, comes too late, as Kazuo is put in danger. The police intercept Naho, rescue Kazuo, and expose her manipulative scheme.
In the end, Hayato and Chiaki’s involvement is recognized as coerced, leading to lighter charges. Conan reflects on Hayato’s influence on Chiaki during their university days and the unexpected respect Chiaki holds for him.
