Plot

Part 1

Eri Kisaki is the attorney for a man named Shinji Usami who is convicted for the murder of Tsuyoshi Hirasawa while in a drunken state. The authenticity is doubted due to the fact Hirasawa murdered Shinji's son but was not convicted because the murder was done while he was drunk. Eri attempts to confirm Usami's alibi through his estranged wife Masako Kamedo. Kamedo reveals that Hiraswa visited her bar and that Kogoro should be able to confirm it. Kogoro reveals that he fell asleep at the bar, and was waken by Kamedo who told him he had a phone call; The time on the phone proves that Usami was at the bar at the time of the murder. During the hearing, the prosecutor Reiko Kujo points to that fact that Kamedo could have changed the time on Kogoro's phone to establish an alibi for her ex-husband. Kamedo confesses to changing the time on Kogoro's phone and thus destroys Usami's alibi.

Part 2

After Kogoro was turned unwittingly from the defendant's witness to the prosecutor's witness Kogoro conducts his own investigation and investigates Usami's home while accompanied by Conan. During the second hearing, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal Kamedo to be the murderer. Conan reveals that the Baby Octopus was served only at her bar and was found in Hirasawa's stomach, meaning he had visited the bar and that after his visit, he was killed by her. Usami having witnessed the murder places his car keys there to place the blame on himself. Kamedo confesses and admits she wanted to avenge her son. After the hearing, Eri asks Kogoro if he would like to go to a restaurant with her only to be ignored by Kogoro who is distracted by a beautiful woman.
