Jiang Xia investigated Banba Yukiya’s apparent murder in a parking lot, where police focused on the three friends who had left him alone in a locked Porsche. As the men in black watched the investigation from afar, Kigimure Yoshito explained the group’s routine but could not yet explain why he alone found the body.

• Conan tried to call Professor Agasa but got no answer, while Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko noticed that Teacher Jodie was missing.

Conan worried that the Organization had taken Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai, but learned they were already home and that Dr. Araide was treating Haibara. At Agasa’s house, Jodie kept watch while Dr. Araide recognized the feverish Haibara as Sherry.

• Conan found Professor Agasa’s empty Beetle and feared that Haibara and the Professor had been abducted.

• Suzuki Sonoko suggested inviting Jodie for Japanese food, and Mouri Ran agreed to ask her at school the next day.
• Jodie dreamed of the night Vermouth killed her father and set their home on fire, then woke at school and remembered she planned to leave after finishing the month's classes.

• Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran chased after Jodie after school and asked whether she needed help with family matters.
• Jodie told Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran that the family matter was an excuse and nothing had happened at home.

Jodie told Ran and Sonoko that she had found a long-sought secret treasure map, prompting them to misunderstand and speculate about her first love. The three went to a convenience store for a farewell gathering, where they discovered their former classmate Nanakawa Aya was being harshly scolded by the store manager.

• Jodie claimed she might have found an extremely important treasure map, then refused to explain what it meant.
• Sonoko mistook Jodie's secret for a romantic first-love story and suggested holding her a farewell party.
• Jodie agreed to go with Sonoko and Ran to a convenience store near the station, where their former classmate Nanakawa Aya worked.
• The clerk said Nanakawa was speaking with the store manager in the back, and Jodie, Ran, and Sonoko overheard the manager scolding her and ordering her to leave.

At a store, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko comforted Nanakawa Aya after her manager accused her of stealing, while Jodie considered the evidence. At Professor Agasa’s house, Jiang Xia served porridge secretly made by Miyano Akemi, and Conan worried that Jiang Xia’s presence would interfere with discussing the organization.

• Nanakawa Aya broke down in tears and ran to Mouri Ran after the store manager threatened to fire her.
• Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran defended Nanakawa Aya as the manager explained that inventory had repeatedly gone missing during closing time despite surveillance cameras.

• At Professor Agasa’s house, Jiang Xia served porridge made by Miyano Akemi, and Conan and Professor Agasa praised its taste.
• Conan asked Professor Agasa why Jiang Xia was there and suggested finding an excuse to send him home so they could discuss the organization.

Haibara Ai ate porridge Jiang Xia had made and recognized its familiar taste. Meanwhile, Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, and Teacher Jodie investigated the store manager’s accusation that Nanakawa Aya had stolen merchandise, but the missing goods remained unexplained.

• Jiang Xia brought Haibara Ai egg porridge, and she asked whether he had made it after tasting its familiar flavor.
• At the Convenience Store, the manager accused Nanakawa Aya of stealing merchandise, while Suzuki Sonoko insisted Aya was innocent.
• Teacher Jodie asked what had been stolen, and the manager listed games, DVDs, food, and snacks that suggested young people had been using the goods.
• The manager explained that the surveillance cameras were shut off to save electricity, and Mouri Ran asked whether employees could safely reach the restroom in the dark warehouse.

Mouri Ran and Jodie questioned Nanakawa Aya about suspicious customers who might have stolen goods from the store. Aya described three regular restroom users, and the store manager added that the old woman among them often haggled over discounted bento; the thief remained unidentified.

• Mouri Ran asked Nanakawa Aya whether she had noticed suspicious customers, and Aya said three regulars stood out.
• Jodie questioned Aya about her reasoning and learned that all three suspects often used the restroom through the warehouse.
• Aya described the first suspect as a selfish college-age man who read gaming magazines but bought only snacks and drinks.
• Aya described the second suspect as a timid office worker who bought business-trip supplies and let others cut ahead of him.
• Aya described the third suspect as a thrifty old woman, and the store manager recalled that she often haggled over nearly expired bento.

Suzuki Sonoko investigated the store’s missing goods and proposed that the three restroom-using customers might be stealing together, but the manager pointed to employee Nanakawa Aya as the likelier culprit. After learning the manager had already suspected Nanakawa and that the thefts had stopped for a month after he warned her, Sonoko considered calling Jiang Xia to solve the case.

• The store manager described the three suspicious customers, and Suzuki Sonoko suspected all of them despite his defense of the elderly woman.
• Suzuki Sonoko theorized that the three customers had either conspired to steal or had each stolen independently.
• The store manager argued that Nanakawa Aya was more likely responsible because the thefts had stopped after he scolded her the previous month.
• The manager gave Nanakawa one last chance to return the goods and stop stealing, while Nanakawa lowered her head without responding.
• Suzuki Sonoko reconsidered the manager’s character and reached for her phone to call Jiang Xia.

Suzuki Sonoko persuaded Mouri Ran to call Kudo Shinichi for help with the case, hoping to let Jodie solve it herself. Conan answered without his Bowtie Voice Changer, and Jiang Xia took the phone as Ran began questioning who was there.

• Suzuki Sonoko decided to ask Kudo Shinichi to analyze the case instead of calling Jiang Xia, so Jodie could try solving it herself.
• Jodie overheard them mention Kudo Shinichi and wondered what had happened to the missing detective.
• Mouri Ran called Kudo Shinichi while Suzuki Sonoko kept Jodie occupied.
• Conan found Ran's call but could not locate his Bowtie Voice Changer, leaving him unable to answer in Shinichi's voice.
• Mouri Ran heard someone speaking in the background and questioned Shinichi, so Jiang Xia took the phone and answered her.

Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko investigated the convenience-store thefts to prove Nanakawa Aya’s innocence, while Jodie prevented Jiang Xia from coming to help. Ran tried to apply Kudo Shinichi’s method of looking for abnormalities and asked the store manager what made Aya’s work habits different.

• Mouri Ran called Jiang Xia while he was with Conan, and Jiang Xia claimed Shinichi’s phone had been mailed to Professor Agasa for repairs.
• Jodie took Ran’s phone and hung up before Jiang Xia could come over, insisting the students solve the problem themselves.
• Suzuki Sonoko reasoned that the surveillance and the store manager’s watch ruled out outsiders, then noticed the stolen goods could also appeal to Nanakawa Aya.
• Mouri Ran recalled Kudo Shinichi’s advice to look for abnormalities and asked Aya whether she had any unusual work habits.
• Ran asked the store manager to identify how Aya differed from the other employees, aside from the thefts happening during her shifts.

At a station convenience store, the manager accused Nanakawa Aya of stealing, but a sudden rush of customers delayed the confrontation. Outside, Jodie reflected on her father’s glasses and her unease about Vermouth before Jiang Xia arrived and identified the glasses, leaving Jodie visibly unsettled.

• A veteran clerk said Nanakawa Aya always tidied the shop and its deliveries, but the store manager insisted she had stolen near-expiry bentos and demanded that she confess.
• A rush of customers filled the store, so the manager sent Nanakawa Aya back to work and told Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, and Jodie to leave.
• Outside, Jodie said she would keep wearing her old glasses because they were the only trace left by someone important to her.
• Jiang Xia arrived by motorcycle and said the glasses likely belonged to Jodie's father, or possibly her mother, judging by their design.
• Suzuki Sonoko told Jiang Xia that Nanakawa Aya might have been taken away by the police, while Mouri Ran noticed Jodie looked resistant and began looking around after seeing him.
