Ran, Sonoko, and Conan watch Shukou Academy play Beika High. Star pitcher Kaji Kenya’s performance drops, and the school flag is slashed. Kogoro suspects Kenya, ex-pitcher Etou, the principal, and Kenya’s mother. Kenya confesses, but Conan remains unconvinced. He deduces the culprit is short, left-handed, and inside the building. Kenya is tall and right-handed. Etou is too tall. Kenya’s mother is right-handed. Only the principal fits the profile. He confesses, claiming the chairman wanted the team disbanded. The storeroom manager reports the chairman has died. Six months later, Kenya’s mother manages Shukou Academy to win the championship again.
