Coming to a Chinese restaurant, only to realise their coupon doesn't work during holidays, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran are asked to come join the movie crew already sitting there. They were looking for a new young actress for their movie, and their eyes was set on Ran after witnessing her high-kick performance. While eating at a Chinese restaurant, the movie director falls dead, and it appears to be poisoning. Detective at the scene suspects Kogoro, and they mistake him for Detective Yokomizo who cut his hair, only to realize he's his brother. Ran appears to be having a slight fever and is suffering hallucinations or something in relation to Shinichi and two other mysterious people.

Ran collapses in the Chinese restaurant and begins to dream of her trip to New York City with Shinichi several years prior.
