The two mysterious men are actually the former members of the goblin gang. They wanted famous gems that their leader had stolen and kept to himself. Before his death, Monjiro had set clues on how to access the hidden coo-coo bird in his clock; the goblins needed Kogoro's (in reality, Conan's) deductive skills to figure out where the gems were hidden. The fake Misao had a gun hidden in his bandaged hand; however, he was injured by Ran in an attempted hostage sitution, while Conan knocked out his associate.
