Kogoro,Ran,and Conan are at a hotel. As they proceed to the shopping stores, they find Eri buying a tie for a man, which upsets Ran and Kogoro(a little bit). The man turned out to be a colleague of Eri. The team of lawyers were staying at the hotel as well. A few hours after they part, Eri,Ran,and Conan find the body of one of the female colleagues (they were searching for Kogoro, who had disappeared). What's more, they found Kogoro snoozing on the victim's bed!

When Kogoro and Conan are waiting for Ran and Sonoko to finish shopping, Kogoro spots an attractive woman coming out of the phone booth. Conan spots a pen inside the booth, and tells Kogoro. Immediately Kogoro gets the pen and reaches to touch the woman--boom! Kogoro is knocked to the ground. Actually, the attractive lady was Satou-san in disguise! They were trying to capture the person who was attacking ""101 spice girls"". Sonoko comes to join Kogoro, but Ran stayed to get something else. Miraculously Ran winds up in the parking lot of the shopping mall and spots a body by a car--a dead ""101 spice girl"".

Inspection follows. It is found that the victim had been involved in a car crash a year ago, in the same parking lot. Using information from the previous three victims, Conan figures that the murderer's motive was probably because of the high-top shoes that ""101 spice girls"" all wear. It if found, then, that the main cause of the victim's car crash was because of her shoes. They weakened the pedal's reaction. After Kogoro and Megure finally get the point (with Conan hinting), they figure out the murderer, but now he's gone! And now Sonoko, wearing a pair of high-top shoes, is stuck in the shopping mall... with the revengeful murderer!
