Hideo Morita has come forth to the agency asking Kogoro to find his late wife Mrs. Morita’s watch which he has lost in his house. Kogoro refuses the problem, but the Detective Boys and Dr. Agasa offer to help. At Hideo’s house, they find a room full of movie tapes and fantastic equipments for watching movies. During the search, Eiko Idetsuki, Hideo's neighbor, comes to ask for money he previously loaned. Hideo makes a partial payment then shows her the tape of a movie she really wanted to watch, and she goes to the audio room. The children give the woman lunch and find the watch in the washing machine. Just then, they hear a loud noise and find Idetsuki with her skull crushed by a vase of flowers followed by the sound of someone running out the door. Hideo has an alibi as he wasn’t in the same room as the victim but Conan believes that Hideo played a role in Idetsuki’s untimely demise. During the investigation, Takagi reveals to Conan that someone has stolen from the police all the documents relating to cases resolved by Kogoro. These documents, however, were returned by mail shortly thereafter. Moreover, Takagi adds that the thief struck the same day of the questioning of witnesses of the hijacked bus incident. Conan immediately suspects Professor Jodie, Dr. Araide and a mysterious man named Shuichi Akai.
