Kogoro received an urgent call from magician Genyo Tojo, who wanted to meet him, so he went to the Beika Hall where the performance was about to be held with Conan and Ran. Then Kogoro and the others went to the lounge, and Tojo confessed that someone in the group wanted to kill him. Tojo asked Kogoro to find out who that person was. Recently, Tojo fell off the equipment twice during practice and almost died.

The group members include assistants Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa, videographer Kazuma Ishida, director Shingo Shoji, and Hasegawa Minoru from the crane department. Except for the disciple Ishida, the other four members had their own motives to kill Tojo. After that, Tojo and Kogoro decided to send a signal if there was an emergency during the performance. In the evening, while Kogoro and Conan were investigating the stage play, they overheard the group members' words and determined that Ishida also had a motive to kill Tojo.

In the evening, Tojo's magic show began, and Conan and the others began to watch the performance from the front audience seats. The performance went smoothly, and the magic trick called "Steel Needle" began. There was a bed-like platform in the middle, and dozens of sharp steel needles were hanging from the ceiling. Then, Dongcheng, who was lying on the platform, began to struggle and sent an emergency signal to Kogoro. Then, with Dongcheng's screams, blood flowed on the stage...

The audience was very excited. This was a performance that Dongcheng came up with. After the first half of the stage ended, Dongcheng told Kogoro that he wanted to confirm whether he was watching the signal. After that, Shoji was furious at Dongcheng for changing the performance plan without authorization. However, Dongcheng retorted that future performances would be more exciting. Then the second half of the stage began, and Dongcheng challenged "Escape from Water". However, Dongcheng entered the sink from the head...

Dongcheng Huanyang, who challenged the magic of escaping from water, lost his life after turning upside down in the sink. Kogoro rushed to the scene to check the video. Megure wanted to understand the device of the magic, and Conan said that there was a secret on the cover of the sink. When Dongcheng's feet were tripped, Misa and Chiaki hung a lock on the lid and locked it with a Nanjing lock. Both of these are real. If Misa and Chiaki quickly pulled out the pin of the gold joint, the lid would be easy to open.

According to the coroner, Dongcheng's cause of death was basically drowning. Kozo pointed out the truth of the accident. Dongcheng failed to escape because the two accomplices pretended to pull out the lock cylinder but did not actually pull it out. But the two refuted that they pulled out the lock cylinder and claimed that the lid was also opened. Everyone watched the video again to confirm...

Although the video did not capture the most critical part, the possibility of the two committing a crime is very low. Kogoro's eyes turned to Xiaoma. Kogoro remembered that Kazuma gave something to Dongcheng during the break between performances. Kazuma gave a beta-blocker. It is said that in order to hold your breath for a long time to escape from the water, the drug is usually taken 15 minutes ago. Kogoro reasoned that it was replaced with a muscle relaxant, but Kazuma refuted that he was innocent.

After that, Kogoro and the group members began to wait for the results of the blood analysis. Conan returned to the venue at that time. Then, he stared at the beam under the ceiling just above the sink and noticed something. At that time, there was a sudden thunderstorm.The lights went out, and Conan remembered that the sink became dark for a moment after the curtain fell for the second time. Conan found the target of the criminal, confirmed the video again, and found evidence...

After using an anesthetic needle to put Uncle Maori to sleep

"Officer Megure, it can be clearly seen in the video that the murderer used a double ring to pass through the keyhole on the sink hub so that the lid could not be opened, and the deceased could not escape. And the ring should be worn on the middle finger of the left hand by the murderer now, right? Mr. Shoji who used tricks as magic to kill people."

Everyone has seen the video, and it is useless to quibble when the evidence is conclusive. He is now a little mentally abnormal. After the case was solved, Megure and others took the murderer directly back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
