Scenario: Conan returns from Agasa's and fall asleep. Rachel returns home and removes his glasses discovering his striking resemblance to Jimmy. Richard is hired by Nina Tathers to investigate the death of her husband, Carl Tathers, a famous magician. She explains the police have concluded it to be suicide by ingesting poison but there are doubts due to finding two cards glued together at the scene. They are invited to the mansion to investigate the crime scene. As they investigate, Conan notices in Carl's picture collection of his students, that the picture of Atrimus Plomtholyd is dustless. Nina reveals Artrimus to be Carl's favorite student who died in an accident fourteen years ago. Conan points out that Carl died with his hands behind his back, a strange posture for someone who died from poisoning, and concludes he was tied up and the murderer must be one of Carl's three students; This was missed due to the police mistaking the rope marks for rings marks. As they investigate, Conan notices that the cards resemble the picture of the redial button on the phone which dials the number 126871*32489*13548*1397.

 
Conan discerns the phone numbers reveal the shape of a letter or alphabet; The message is deciphered to be the letters DC and the Katakanas マコ and. Richard reads the Katakana as the letters MAR and deduces that Carl's student, Marvella Asundi is the killer. Rachel reveals that DC must mean da capo causing Conan and Richard to realize she means to Marvella plans to kill again and the target is Carl and Nina's daughter Anya. Marvella appears with Anya explaining she decided not to kill her. She explains her motive for killing Carl was to avenge her brother's murder who died due to Carl sabotaging Artimus's handcuffs. She later turns himself in to the police. On the way home, Rachel takes Conan to Jimmy's house and confronts him, certain his true identity is Jimmy. Jimmy's mother, Vivian, coincidentally arrives and covers for Conan by telling Rachel Conan is a distant relative and has been trained by Jimmy. The next day, Vivian takes Conan to investigate the identity of her uncle named Yorkham Xanderbilt by the request of her friend, Hiedy Xanderbilt. Hiedy, and her relatives, suspect Yorkam is impersonating their uncle to get a share of the inheritance left by their father, Cornileus Xanderbilt. A scar on Yorkham's leg ascertains his identity. Yorkham reveals that one of the relatives sent him a threatening letter against his life if he returns to claim the inheritance reveals the man accompanying him is Carlos, a Brazilian bodyguard.

After affirming Yorkham's identity through his writing which matches an old letter, Conan notices a man in a trench-coat hiding around the mansion. That night, Hiedy's step mother is found dead in a water well holding a camellia in her right hand; It was the same way Hiedy's biological mother died. The police are called to investigate while Conan attempts to discern who the murderer is. The police find the step mother's car in the forest with the key in the emission and a cassette tape missing. The next day, during the hearing of the will, an arrow is fired from a timed crossbow directed at Yorkham who manages to avoid it.

A police officer reveals that he found a cassette tape near the bathroom and that the fingerprints on the knife reveal that the step mother was holding the knife outwards. They discover the cassette contained the sounds of a party giving Conan an epiphany. Conan tranquilizes Detective Magnum and reveals that Kari Xanderbilt was the one who prepared the crossbow, evidenced by her statement which reveals she knew an arrow was shot from a cabinet. Kari confesses revealing that she was in heavy debt. Conan then reveals that the step mother used the cassette to forge an alibi to make it seem as if she was at the party, and had planned to murder Yorkham to increase her share of the inheritance. The camellia flower was to link the crime to their biological mother's death to add to the confusion. Yorkham, skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, deflects the knife and killed her unintentionally in self defense. Conan deduces that Yorkham had received two threats, one from Kari and one from the step mother, and had placed the body in the well as a warning to the second killer. The disguised man then enters the room revealing himself to be Jimmy's father, Booker Kudo, who reveals that Yorkham placed the body there so it could be found to test the Detective's skills. Yorkham, who realized that Magnum was an idiot, kept it a secret about what had happened and the two threats. Booker then reveals that the man is not Yorkham and that he was a bodyguard for Carlos who is the son of the real Yorkham. He further elaborates explaining the man had been writing letters for the real Yorkham since Yorkham lost his left hand, evidenced by letters Booker found in the storage room. Later, Booker and Vivian return Conan to the Moore's resident before returning home.
