Professor Agasa, Conan, and the Detective Boys go to a family restaurant after watching the new Kamen Yaiba movie. While discussing the band Knight Hearts, who performed the film's theme song, they meet fans Nagasu Tokumi, Toya Mao, and Kokonoe Sumika. Their friend and waitress Aijima Yasuko shows them to their table for the girls' night out.
At the same time, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko notice the unusual pairings of Kobayashi-sensei with Detective Chiba, Haneda Shukichi with Miike Naeko, and Inspector Shiratori with Miyamoto Yumi.
The evening takes a tragic turn when Nagasu suddenly collapses and dies after eating a dessert. Conan immediately suspects foul play and identifies three suspects: Yasuko, Kokonoe, and Toya, all of whom came into contact with the dessert. Yasuko served the dessert, Kokonoe rotated the plate to take photos, and Toya used tongs to distribute the dessert.
Conan begins his investigation and finds traces of poison on the backrest of a chair, the front of the seat, and a damp hand towel. However, none of the suspects had a poison vial on them, and security records confirm that Nagasu never left her seat after sitting down.
Conan reconstructs the events and deduces that Yasuko applied the poison to the chair. As a waitress, Yasuko had access and knowledge of the restaurant's operations. She loosened a screw on the chair, making it wobbly. Unaware, Nagasu leaned forward to avoid further damaging the chair, transferring the poison to her hands, which ultimately led to her death.
Surveillance footage also reveals that the restaurant's lighting was dimmed for a birthday celebration, giving Yasuko the perfect opportunity to swap the poisoned chair unnoticed. Yasuko's motive—revenge for the downfall of her boyfriend Kenya—is revealed. Kenya, a former member of Knight Hearts, was forced out of the band after a scandal involving a photo of him and Yasuko, and later died.
Although Yasuko tries to divert suspicion, Conan's thorough investigation brings the truth to light. Even the seemingly suspicious behavior of the couples is explained: Kobayashi-sensei, Yumi, and Naeko are planning a surprise for their partners, coinciding with a Knight Hearts concert on the 7th of the month.
