The trick had involved stealthily putting the razor into the tub during the first short circuit; then, when Hikaru attempted to switch the light back on, Dr. Araide was electrocuted, causing the second power outage. Since the frail and gentle Hikaru had unintentionally murdered her employer and would undestandably have a huge freak out if she ever learned the truth, Conan (as Kogoro) and Yoko agree to change the details of the procession of events so that Hikaru would never be burdened by her conscience. |

She explains that she murdered her husband because her predecessor and Tomoaki's mother Chiaki, who was also her best friend, had succumbed to depression, alcoholism and eventually committed suicide because of Dr. Araide's continuous acts of adultery. She didn't try to hurt Tomoaki not just because he was innocent, but because right before her death, Chiaki asked her to help him through his life. |

But contrary to Conan's fears, Tomoaki, who had listened into Yoko's confession and the agreement, is merely asking Ran to deliver his apologies to her father... and Ran then asks Tomoaki to borrow her the pretty sweater he is wearing, of which she knits a copy for Shinichi. Eri also asks Ran to give her two hand-knitted sweaters to somebody, which Ran gives to her dad and Agasa. Strangely, the one gave to Kogoro has the same pattern as the one to Shinichi/Conan... | ||

Part 1
Conan as Shinichi calls Ran but she's got something do and someplace to go. Conan muses that Ran must have something going on, something that's making her happy with anticipation. Hmmm? Next, Kogoro Mouri gets Ran and Conan in the car and drives them to his doctor's office. The doctor had insisted that he bring his family. While they're all in the doctor's home-based office, Ran asks the doctor's wife to use their bathroom. On the way there, she bumps into the doctor's young altruistic and brilliant son, knocks a sheaf of papers from his hands, and experiences a significant touch from his hand to the top of hers when picking up the papers. Later, after accepting an invitation to dinner there, both Kogoro and the doctor's wife suggest that the son, Tomoaki Araide, and Ran marry. They were both enthusiastic about it. Conan was jealous, big time! The doctor gets electrocuted, it's determined to be murder some clues are uncovered.

Conan is quick to discover the cause for Dr. Araide's death: his electric razor has fallen into the filled tub, electrocuting him. Though it seems that Dr. Araide must have dropped the razor himself, Conan notices that some things don't quite add up: Why was Dr. Araide sitting with his back to the mirror mounted at the end of the bathtub when he was shaving? And where did Hikaru get the burn mark on her arm? But what distracts Conan from the case is that Ran and Tomoaki seems strangely drawn to each other, and a disconcerting thought dawns inside him: Could Ran have become interested in Tomoaki now?
Part 2
While Kogoro, Megure, and Takagi test all possible scenarios, Conan discovers several clues missed by the police and adds them up to the solution of the case. And as usual, he stuns Kogoro to use him as a mouthpiece to deliver his conclusions. But Tomoaki vehemently protests the questionings, claiming that none of his family could have done such a thing!
