The episode ends with Kogoro waking up, having no memory of the brilliant deduction. Ran is quiet, and Conan looks at a photograph of the Sonodas on their wedding day, wondering how something meant to heal could also destroy.
The episode begins on a peaceful, rainy afternoon. Ran Mouri is cleaning the agency when she notices Conan Edogawa staring out the window, deep in thought. Kogoro Mouri is, as usual, sitting at his desk with a can of beer and a horse racing newspaper, grumbling about his losses. Ran scolds him for being lazy and not having any clients.
She arrived at the shrine before him (using a different route) and waited. When he arrived, groggy, she confronted him about the locket. In his drugged state, he confessed and begged for forgiveness. She then pushed him toward the cliff. He stumbled, fell, and hit his head on a rock, then rolled into the river.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. Ran rushes to answer, hoping for a client. A well-dressed, distressed woman in her late twenties stands at the door. She introduces herself as . She explains that her husband, Keisuke Sonoda , a successful architect, has been missing for three days. She has already contacted the police, but since there’s no evidence of a crime, they have only issued a missing person notice and are not actively investigating. Desperate, she has come to the famous "Sleeping Kogoro" for help.
Yukie discovered the truth about the locket one year ago. She found the old photo and recognized her sister. She realized her husband was the man who killed her sister. She pretended not to know, but she began planning her revenge.
Kogoro (via Conan) reveals that the locket is the key piece of evidence. It is not at the crime scene, and when the police search Yukie’s house, they will find it hidden in her jewelry box. Inside, besides Miyuki’s photo, there will be Keisuke’s fingerprints and, more importantly, traces of the sleeping pills from his system that transferred onto the locket when she removed it from his neck.
However, the locket Keisuke always wore did not contain a picture of a childhood sweetheart—it contained a picture of , the girl he killed. He wore it as a constant reminder of his guilt, a promise to himself to never forget the life he took and to live honorably.
Further down, at the bottom of the cliff, they can see the river rushing over rocks. Police divers are called in. They find the body of Keisuke Sonoda in the river. The cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head, consistent with a fall from the cliff. However, there are also traces of sleeping pills in his stomach.
