File 234 - Another Half Year...
Conan has noticed that lately, Ran is somewhat cold and indifferent to him (Shinichi) whenever he calls her up, and she also spends her evening and night outside (supposedly heading to karate practices), not even having dinner at home.
It is another day. Kogoro attends an appointment with his physician, Yoshiteru Araide (who operates a small clinic beside his house), and takes Conan and Ran with him as Yoshiteru requested. Yoshiteru tells him that he has "just half a year”, which Kogoro and his company misinterpret as him only having half a year left to live. They become devastated, only to learn only to learn that Yoshiteru actually meant that Kogoro needed to reduce alcohol consumption during six month to prevent further damage to his liver. As for bringing family members, that is because Yoshiteru knows that an alcoholic like Kogoro will not be able to stop unless family members keep an eye on him. When Yoshiteru is called away to treat another patient (who is female), his wife, Yoko Araide, mutters derisively under her breath that that case is more sexual than medical (i.e. that Yoshiteru has an extramarital affair).
While looking for the bathroom, Ran runs into the doctor's son Tomoaki, and they introduce themselves to each other; Tomoaki mentions that he will take up a job in a hospital in Aomori Prefecture starting the following month. The household maid Hikaru breaks a flower pot and is warned by a furious Yoshiteru that she will be fired if she commits such a mistake again. Tomoaki attempts to calm his father down, and Kogoro prepares to leave once Ran has come back. Yoshiteru laments the lifestyle of Kogoro, saying that he does not want to see Kogoro dead while still in his prime of life, especially when his name coincides with that of the great detective. Upon learning that his patient is the real Kogoro Mouri, Yoshiteru invites Kogoro and company for dinner, and implies that he did not think that the two were the same person because Kogoro has shown a total lack of medical knowledge in front of him and the detective demonstrated a prolific understanding of such matters when solving cases (that happened obviously thanks to Conan).
Before preparing to eat, Dr. Araide decides to take a bath (this is a habit of his). At the dinner table, much to Conan’s consternation, Ran is staring at Tomoaki, and both Kogoro and Yoko say that the two would make a good couple, with Kogoro mentioning a parallel between them and Holmes and Dr. Watson. Tomoaki respectfully objects and says that he does not believe that a detective and a doctor make a good combination. Mitsu (Tomoaki’s grandmother) enters and says that rather than eating with outsiders (even Yoshiteru and Yoko are, because Yoshiteru married into the Araide family and Yoko is his second wife) she prefers to be alone in her room. Yoko makes a call to a friend (called Masae) to talk about a forthcoming class reunion.
Suddenly, the lights go out and Hikaru hurries to the fuse box to switch it back on. The light goes on, then blinks out and goes back on again. Conan and Kogoro find that Ran is holding onto Tomoaki tightly, and she explains that she was afraid and thought that Tomoaki was her father; Conan does not seem entirely convinced of this explanation. Yoko (having hung up) and Hikaru go to the bathroom to check on Yoshiteru, who they suppose is furious because of the power blackout. But instead they find him seemingly dead in the bathtub.
File 235 - In the Darkness...
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 ...?
File 236 - The Unbelievable Link
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!

File 238 - The Secret Corner of Betrayal
Haibara had a nightmare about Gin. The day after, back from school with Conan and the Detective Boys, Haibara comes across Gin's Porsche. Conan places a microphone under the seat and they get to know about a Black Organisation member named Pisco, who was sent to Haido City Hotel and tasked to eliminate the corrupt politician Shigehiko Nomiguchi, who had ties with the Organisation.
File 239 - The Black Burial Ranks
Conan and Haibara go to Haido City Hotel, hoping to find Pisco and prevent Nomiguchi from being killed. But all people in the party's hall are wearing black. There's Chris Vineyard who is an actress from America. Conan uses the voice of Shinichi and calls the police to protect the politician. Later, the lights go off and a movie is shown on a giant screen, meanwhile, the murder occurs : the room's chandelier fell from the ceiling and crashed over Nomiguchi.
File 240 - The Sudden Parting
Conan thinks the purple handkerchief he found right after the murder must belong to Pisco and he asks the receptionist about the identity of those who were given such a handkerchief. As the party's guests suddenly rush out of the hall and confront the media, Haibara gets separated from Conan and is abducted by Pisco.
File 241 - The Bullet from the Past
Haibara is locked in a liquor store but manages to escape through the fireplace after regaining her adult body, thanks to Conan's advice to drink baikal. Meanwhile, Conan deduces the identity of Pisco and how he had the room's chandelier fall over Nomiguchi. Gin and Vodka turn up to the hotel and enter the liquor store, hoping to meet Pisco, but left as none was there. Once out of the chimney, Haibara gets shot by Gin.
File 242 - The White World
Conan rushes to the hotel's rooftop to rescue Haibara, who dives into the chimney and ends up recovering her child body.
