The Detective Boys help the married couple Haga Akito and Akari with renovation work in their newly purchased traditional house. While removing a wall, they discover a skeleton hidden years ago in a sealed-off room. The police determine that it belongs to the missing wife of a gardener who previously lived in the house. He had murdered her and hidden the body in the wall for practical reasons, as he was unable to remove it due to an injury.
As the investigation progresses, Akito's true motivation for buying the house is revealed: he is searching for 50 million yen that went missing during a theft at a neighboring company eight years ago. Conan realizes that the stolen money was hidden in the foundation of a stone lantern, but it had already been discovered and taken by the former gardener. Akito, who planned the theft, originally intended to murder his wife Akari in the house and hide her body near the "money hiding spot" to search for the cash undisturbed.
When Akito realizes the money is missing, he desperately tries to kill Akari but is stopped by the Detective Boys and the police. The resolution reveals that the gardener had already taken the money and deliberately reassembled the lantern incorrectly to deceive Akito. Akito is arrested, while Akari decides to make a fresh start.
The episode ends with a hint of a new mystery as the house goes up for sale again—this time with its past fully exposed.
