Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case
File 414 - Mama's Rival!?
An atmosphere of tension brews between the two mothers while they exchange remarks. However, as Ran begins to fear the worst, the two reveal that they have a very amicable relationship. They recount their past encounters at the now defunct Ms. Teitan beauty pageant, where the two had a legendary competition. Yukiko, the Teitan Princess, and Eri, the Teitan Queen, each gained exactly ten thousand votes, but neither was declared the winner as the one deciding vote had gone missing. Due to the ensuing panic, future pageants were subsequently canceled. Yukiko states she's here on behalf of her husband, Yusaku, who received a call for help from Shigeru. The two men had formerly met when Yusaku solved a relevant case in Los Angeles and are both mystery writers—Shigeru noting Yusaku's greater success.
Eri informs Yukiko of Kogoro's predicament while the detective is seen at the agency, forcibly restrained to the sofa, all in a comedic attempt to prevent him from using any more money. Back at the mansion, Yukiko suggests meeting with Yukio, but Ueki and Motoka deny her access, stating that Yukio is in the audio room, listening to music and reading books. Seen as he's a man who dislikes intrusions, the group decides to monitor him through the security cameras. Yukiko is alarmed to see the gardener, Doi, tending to the plants so late at night, but Ueki assures her that it's part of his nightly routine. The bulk of the group disbands while Ran presses the two mothers on their Ms. Teitan pageant, adding that she recalls seeing an unsubmitted Ms. Teitan voting slip in Kogoro's blazer pocket. Hearing this, the two ladies push their self-deprecating attitudes aside and immediately demand to know who's name was written on the slip. Ran replies that she accidentally put the blazer in the washing machine, crumpling the slip, leaving the outcome a surprise for when they confront Kogoro. Ueki suddenly notices Yukio is on his feet with raised arms. Moments later, the man falls to his side, seemingly shot by someone off-screen. Everyone rushes to the room, with Ran forced to kick the locked door down to enter. Eri checks Yukio's vitals but finds him to be dead.
File 415 - Suspicious Gunshot
Inspector Megure, Takagi, and Chiba arrive on the scene where they are informed of the situation by Eri and Yukiko. Takagi locates the gun besides a broken window where presumably, the killer shot Yukio through. Chiba additionally finds a charred towel which he suspects the killer used to reduce gunpowder residue and muffle the noise. Wasting no time, Eri orders the two sergeants into action and takes control of the investigation while Yukiko explains to Megure of her friend's stake in the case. Meanwhile, Kogoro, still restrained on his sofa, cries for the bathroom. Back at the mansion, Megure interrogates Ueki, Motoka, and Shigeru about their whereabouts during the time of murder. Shigeru and Motoka take a seat while Ueki remains standing. Soon after, officers arrive with Doi who they found still tending to the gardens. Eri explains that despite his suspicious appearance and actions, Doi cannot be the killer as footage of him in the gardens was recorded at the time of death.
Megure confirms the security footage but notes that the camera shifts away from him during the exact moment of Yukio's death. Although the footage shows part of Doi's light, the inspector states it's not enough for him to be crossed from the suspect list. Eri and Yukiko use the abundance of security footage as evidence for the killer not being an outsider. Coupled with how all of the maids have an alibi, the only suspects are Ueki, Motoka, Shigeru, and Doi. Conan wonders about two inconsistencies: one, the near-two-minute interval between the first and second shot; two, how Yukio seemingly placed a bookmark in his book despite being threatened at gunpoint. Yukiko and Eri ask the maids: who of the suspects has the biggest grudge towards Yukio, but they answer that they all have a reason to be angry. Suddenly, Doi jumps out of his seat and yells at the officers to stay away from his garden. Hearing his voice for the first time, Yukiko identifies that Doi's accent is from the Kōchi Prefecture. Yukiko speaks to the gardener in his native accent, engaging the once reticent man in a lively conversation. Conan explains that Yukiko once played Ryōma Sakamoto's sister who had the Kōchi accent, making her fluent in the region's Japanese. The brilliant actress returns with valuable information: the gunshots came after the shattering of the window. The two mothers talk it over, as Yukiko is reminded of Yusaku's hint, "The Arms are a red herring." Hearing this, Conan sparks a confident grin on his face.
File 416 - The Night Baroness Enters!
Chiba informs Megure about a trio of faint lines streaking across one of the three bullets. Hearing this information, Conan formulates the rest of his deduction. Suddenly, Yukiko bashes him on the head, believing her son to have solved the case. Conan expresses his disdain for her "Night Baroness" antics but shares his deduction anyway. As the suspects voice their concerns to the police, Yukiko stages a dramatic entrance with the nearby household lamps, proclaiming that the Night Baroness has solved the case—spectated by an unamused Conan.
Motoka verbally states her plans to seize Yukio's inheritance as he lacks parents or siblings, but Eri stops her, saying that's only the case if the will is missing. Eri had phoned her associate who is Yukio's lawyer to confirm the specifics of the will, finding a line at the end stating that if his associates fail to protect his life, he'll instead donate his inheritance to the government. Motoka then pivots her plan to liquidate all the assets Yukio had gifted her and travel abroad, but Eri once again stops her, showing the contract Motoka had signed with Kogoro which only stipulates finding the culprit, not protecting Yukio's life.
The next day, Eri and Yukiko return to the Detective Agency with their harvested funds. Conan then asks whom Kogoro voted for in the Miss Teitan Beauty Pageant. He answers "Eri."

The two mothers leave to spend their money, leaving a shocked Kogoro at home.
