Scenario: Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Haibara were on their way to Hatoyama Farm by bus with their homeroom teacher Sumiko Kobayashi and assistant homeroom teacher Rumi Wakasa. They were to be given new chickens to take care of at school. Also on the bus were Junya Hizuka, Takashi Minami, and Shogo Kano, who were going to the same ranch for interviews and research. However, they seemed to be on bad terms. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are interested in a video Kano was watching on his smartphone. Mitsuhiko took a picture of it with his own smartphone, and when he tried to find out more about Kano's work, he got into trouble. He was saved by a fellow passenger, Toru Amuro. Amuro also seemed to have something to do at the ranch, so he went to...
Conan and his friends arrive at the ranch, but it is deserted. It seems that they were preparing to close the ranch to make it part of a golf course. Conan and his friends decide to go check out the chickens they are looking for until the rancher shows up. However, there were no chickens on the poultry farm. There was a large hole in the wall, and the chickens had apparently escaped through it. They decide to take a restroom break before looking for the chickens, but then Ayumi disappears.
Amuro get a call from Kazami, who says that he is being trapped in a room, where there is a corpse lying on the bed. Amuro decides to help Kazami.
Later, the Detective Boys along with Kobayashi dan Wakasa are on the bus heading to Hatoyama Farm. They plan to get a new chicken for the school, replacing the old one that just died. On the bus, there are three other people who also heading for Hatoyama Farm. One of them is watching a video and Mitsuhiko tries to find out about the video. Suddenly, the man gets angry and grabs Mitsuhiko's hand, asking him to erase the video. Fortunately, Amuro is also on the bus, and successfully resolves the situation.
Arriving at Hatoyama Farm, they find out that there is no one in the office. There is no chicken left in the ranch, and there is a huge hole in the side of the ranch.
While some people go to the toilet, Ayumi sees a chicken wandering around. She plans to tell Conan, but he is talking to Amuro, so she decides to quietly chase the chicken. When everybody gathers again, they realize that Ayumi is missing. They later divides into two groups; Kobayashi with Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Amuro, while Wakasa go with Haibara and Genta. When the others start searching, Amuro finds a bishop shogi piece on the ground, which he feels he has seen it before.
Ayumi manages to catch the chicken, but then found herself in the woods. There are lots of burnt branches and a weird trail on ground, along with the tree being wrapped with something. Someone then approaches Ayumi.
Conan, Mitsuhiko, Amuro and Kobayashi later meet Umisuke Hatoyama, the younger brother of Hatoyama Farm manager Gisuke Hatoyama. He admits that he saw Ayumi, but in fact she is being held hostage by Umisuke himself. He asks them to throw out their cellphone and follows his direction. Umisuke then locks them in the basement. They later finds Kazami and the corpse.
The dead man is Gisuke Hatoyama, and Conan deduces that he committed suicide. The evidence is there is no sign that he resisted when he got strangled, and his shoes are located near the desk. Kazami says that the chair was not knocked down, and there is a leather bootprints, which suggest that Umisuke, who is wearing leather boots, discovered Gisuke's body, and stood on the chair to bring the bosy down.
Using detectives badge, Conan warns Haibara, Genta, and Wakasa about Umisuke, and asks them to call the police. Suddenly, Umisuke appears, along with two other people from the same bus. Umisuke tells the two people that his brother is in the hospital ,and that he got a message to go to a certain spot on the mountain. They also decide to find the other person.
After Umisuke and the other leave, Rumi plans to use her phone to call the police, when Genta notices that there is a hole in her butt pocket. Wakasa then realizes that there is something missing. Genta then mentions about Amuro picking something earlier. Later, Wakasa's phone slipped from her hands, and falls into a bucket of water.
Meanwhile, Amuro examines the shogi piece he found. When Kazami metions about Shukichi defended his title, Amuro realized that the shogi piece is the lost Kohji Haneda's shogi piece, and he wonders if the killer of Kohji is at the ranch.
Later, Haibara tries to open the door to the office, but it is locked. Wakasa then suddenly falls down, while also breaking the window. Ayumi then wakes up, and she tells Conan what she saw.
