Conan, Ran, and Sonoko are visiting a sick friend in the hospital. There they meet Eisuke who tells them he is searching for his long lost sister who looks identical to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke explains that his sister intended to become a nurse so he is searching the local hospitals for her. Conan, however, suspects Eisuke knows Rena has been hospitalized due to her accident. The three decide to visit Kōshi Anno, a big fan of Rena, to confirm whether Rena is actually Eisuke's sister. Unable to contact Kōshi, they visit his mother and learn Kōshi recently called asking for money in order to pay off a rival company in a business meeting later that day.

Listening to her story, Conan reveals the inconsistencies with Kōshi's story and reveals that a man is impersonating Kōshi in order to scam Kōshi's mother for money. As evidence, Conan explains that the fraud claimed to have canceled his planned vacation due to a cold but had business plans on the same day as his vacation; a person who had to suddenly cancel his vacation due to an illness would not have business plans on the same day. The fraud is later arrested outside of Kōshi's apartment. Later that day, Kōshi returns home and is confronted by Conan who asks him whether Eisuke's picture of his sister is actually Rena.

Situation

Blood Relative (Manga: 586, 587-590, Anime: 492)

Kōshi confirms that the picture is indeed Rena and shows them a news recording depicting Rena with the same hairstyle as Eisuke's sister's in the photograph. In the video, they learn that Rena's blood type is AB. Eisuke denies that Rena is his sister since his sister's blood was once used for his blood transfusion; Eisuke has blood type O, meaning he can only receive Type O blood. Conan suspects there is a hidden component to Eisuke's story and believes Eisuke is searching for Rena with an ulterior motive. The next day, Eisuke invites Ran and Sonoko to accompany him to the mansion he used to live in to collect his mother's belongings which were recently found. Kogoro, coincidentally, was also hired to investigate a murder at the mansion that occurred a year ago. Once there, Eisuke finds his birth certificate, confirming that he has blood type O. Meanwhile, Kogoro is with the owner of the mansion, Kakuzō Okudaira, discussing the murder of his son, Tango Okudaira. Kakuzō tells Kogoro he suspects the murderer is one of three people in the mansion.

Murder

Location: Okudaira mansion study, Tokyo Victim: Kakuzo Okudaira Cause of death: Hanging Suspects: Eiko Okudaira, Kikuyo Tabata, and Hataro Segawa While Kakuzo Okudaira was in his study alone, there was a loud crash. As Kikuyo Tabata and Hataro Segawa rushed to investigate, Kakuzo Okudaira shouted "Don't open!" as they began to open the door. When Conan and Kogoro arrived seconds later, Kakuzo Okudaira was found dead, still swinging. The fragments of Kakuzo's treasured vase were found below the body along with many books, one of which was stained in an unusual pattern with blood. A trolley with a small stack of books was nearby.

Murder

Location: Okudaira mansion pool, Tokyo Victim: Tango Okudaira Cause of death: Drowning Suspects: Eiko Okudaira, Kikuyo Tabata, and Hataro Segawa On the one year anniversary of Tango's murder, Kogoro was hired by Kakuzo Okudaira to re-investigate the case because he believes the murderer is one of the members of the household. Tango was found drowned in the pool with his hands and legs bound, and mouth taped. The right glove of the deceased butler was on his left hand. At the estimated time of death everyone was inside watching a film. Three days later, the left hand glove of the deceased butler was found in Kakuzo Okudaira's room which he interpreted as a threat.

Accident? (Past)
	Location: Cliffs Victim: Hataro Segawa's older brother Cause of death: Falling of a cliff in a car Exactly two years ago Segawa fell off a cliff in his car and died.

Exclamation (Manga: 587-590, Anime: 493)

Kakuzo shows Kogoro a photograph of Tango's body in a pool and points to a white glove Tango is wearing. He reveals that the glove was the same glove their previous butler wore before a car accident killed him, and that Tango's murder occurred on the anniversary of the butler's death. Kakuzo tells Kogoro that, three days after Tango's death, he received a white glove and now presumes the murderer plans to kill him next. After the discussion, Kogoro and Conan investigate the house searching for clues. When a blackout occurs and the sound of a vase is heard from Kakuzo's room, they arrive to find him hanged. Conan investigates and realizes three suspicious points: glue was used to keep the knot of the rope together, the broken vase with sweat near the top, and a book titled "Killer of Hades" (in kanji) with blood on it. The police declare that if the book is a dying message, the murderer must be one of the three suspects.

Hades (Manga: 587-590, Anime: 494)

Conan's investigation leads him to realize how Kakuzo and Tango's murder was accomplished.

Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and impersonates him with the voice changing bow tie to reveal that Kikuyo Tabata, the maid, is the murderer. He reveals Kikuyo served Kakuzō coffee laced with sleeping pills, thus causing Kakuzō to fall asleep. She then set up the scene by placing Kakuzō on top of a trolley and placing a glued noose around his neck. After setting up a line of books leading from the door to the trolley Kikuyo placed a vase in Kakuzō's hand, warning him that if the vase dropped and broke, it would cause people to investigate the noise. When that happened, they would open the door to Kakuzō's room and subsequently move the line of books which would cause the trolley to roll out from beneath him and result in his death. Conan explains that Tango was murdered in a similar fashion: he was tied up and thrown in a pool and was forced to stand on the tip of his toes to breath. Eventually Tango's fatigue caused him to drown. By delaying the time of death in both cases, Kikuyo was able to establish an alibi. As for the dying message, Conan reveals that blood covered the kanji for the English word "Hades" which means "Meido" in Japanese and is a reference to the English word maid. As evidence, Conan tells the police Kikuyo should have a handkerchief with coffee stains tainted with sleeping pills. Kikuyo confesses to the murder revealing that Tango, with the help of his father, murdered her husband, the previous butler.

Situation

Coma (Manga: 595-598, Anime: 495)

Conan learns from Ran that she had been unable to contact Eisuke since the winter break. She tells him Eisuke last told her that he had found someone from his father's company at Haido Central Hospital, the same hospital in which Rena is currently hospitalized. Conan contacts Jodie Starling to inform her Eisuke may be searching for Rena and learns from her that Eisuke's father, Ethan Hondou, was a spy for the CIA who were investigating the Black Organization. She reveals that Rena and the Black Organization murdered him four years ago. Conan phones Ran asking her how Eisuke recognized the colleague. She replies that Eisuke recognized the person through the phones keypad tone which played the song "Nanatsu no Ko", the phone number of the Black Organization's leader. Conan realizes that a Black Organization member is in Haido Central Hospital. Fearing that the criminal syndicate may be close to finding Rena, Conan and the FBI investigate the hospital. After asking a nurse about a suspicious person, the FBI narrows the suspects list to hospitalized patients between December 18 and December 21 and begin their search for the Black Organization member.

Black Organization Infiltration
	Location: Haido Central Hospital Suspects: Chotaro Shinki, Rikumichi Kusuda, and Chugo Nishiya The Black Organization sent in a fake patient to look for Rena Mizunashi. The FBI are able to narrow it down to three people based on the testimony of a nurse who said the patient was male and enrolled near the end of the year.

Invasion (Manga: 595-598, Anime: 496)

The nurse tells Conan that she just remembered Eisuke had surgery for leukemia when he was young, raising the possibility Rena may in fact be his sister. Meanwhile, the FBI manages to narrow the list of suspects down to three patients: An old man with a broken leg, a man with a neck sprain, and a man with dorsalgia. Conan volunteers to secretly investigate them. After recording the three patients on a secret camera, Conan reports back to the FBI.

In his meeting with the man with dorsalgia, Conan proved the man was not faking his symptom as he had difficulty bending down to pick up an object and was frantically fighting against a sneeze to prevent sending a shock wave to his back. The other two patients are revealed to be faking their symptoms. Conan reveals that he noticed the old man had a scar and swelling near his heart suggesting he has an artificial pacemaker. Since the pacemaker's function would be interrupted by cell phone waves, it rules the old man out leaving Rikumichi Kusuda, the man faking the neck sprain, as their culprit.

Awakening (Manga: 598-599, Anime: 497)

That night Kusuda is caught sneaking into the nurse's lounge photographing the patient list and the FBI proceed to apprehend him. Kusuda reveals that under his cervical collar are explosives which he will detonate if they attempt to arrest him. He flees from the hospital in a car but is pursued by Conan and Akai. Kusudu kills himself with his own gun before being caught. While the FBI attempt to figure out how to keep the Black Organization away from Rena, Akai decides they must keep the hospital employees uninvolved and that he shall think of plan to ambush them. Later that night, Eisuke sneaks into Rena's room and attempts to question her about his sister. Frustrated with her comatose state, he attempts to stab her with scissors but she grabs his hand and stops him.

Elsewhere, the Black Organization cause food poisoning throughout restaurants in the city, release poisonous gas in public areas, and start a fire in a local theatre.

After doing so, Akai notices there is a rush of deliveries to patients and realize they also contain explosives sent by the Black Organization.

Disguise (Manga: 600-604, Anime: 499)

Rena appears on television while the FBI agents are gathering the small explosives which causes them to gather to Rena's room to investigate. They realize it was part of the Black Organization's plan as the explosives the agents were collecting contained transmitters; Gin, who watches the transmitters gather in a single location, tells his colleagues of Rena's location in the hospital. The FBI initiate their plan to transport Rena to another location. Camel is given the task of transporting Rena while the other FBI agents become decoys in the other two vans. Jodie suspects Camel is part of the organization and attempts to pursue Camel to give her the task of driving the van with Rena. Camel incapacitates her and hides her body. The three vans drive off with Chianti, Korn, and Vodka stalking them. Using thermal vision devices, they are able to see through the vans and upload the images to Gin who attempts to deduce which truck contains Rena. Vermouth follows Akai who is secretly tailing the second van, causing them to believe the truck Korn is stalking contains Rena.

Camel, having survived the blast, reports to Akai and tells him the mission was a success. Akai reveals to the FBI he purposely let the Black Organization capture Rena again so they may use her to gain information from the inside. He then explains the conversation he and Conan had with Rena the night before. After Eisuke is stopped by Rena, Conan, who was hiding behind the curtains, reveals that Rena is indeed Eisuke's sister. He explains that due to Eisuke's leukemia and radiation treatment, they transferred Rena's bone marrow to Eisuke and essentially making his blood type AB. Conan reveals that he knows Rena is part of the CIA and was given the task of investigating the Black Organization from the inside. She reveals that on the day she and her father were supposed to reveal the Black Organization's identity to the public, she had a transmitter planted on her which resulted in them being caught. To protect his daughter, Ethan created a scenario in which Rena killed him after realizing his identity as a CIA agent.

Situation

Suspicion (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 501)

Back in the present time, Rena asks Gin to spare the hospital and its employees, causing Gin to suspect her of being disloyal to the organization. Elsewhere, Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys to a hotel restaurant. They run into Officer Takagi who tells them the president of a foreign talent agency was murdered only a few minutes ago.

Murder

Location: Talent Agency on 39th floor of New Beika Hotel Victim: Renji Sunouchi Cause of death: Instantaneous death from multiple gunshot wounds Suspects: Irina Palmer, Toby Keynes, Hal Buckner, and Andre Camel The secretary's testified that the president had a meeting with a new foreign talent. She returned to the office to find the president only a few minutes dead. Only one elevator was working, so the police who had arrived quickly were able to round up potential foreign suspects on the stairs or the roof. It was later discovered the dead man wrote a note saying "bring my tux" on a pad of paper which was though to have been taken by the murderer.

Takagi tells them that the suspect is an unknown foreigner who had an appointment with the president. Conan tells him that the suspect must be in the hotel still since the president's office is on the top floor and—with so little time—the suspect would not have had enough time to rid himself of the smell of gunpowder and escape the building. The police gather up three foreign suspects, one of which includes FBI Agent Camel. Camel is the prime suspect because of his physical features and refusal to answer the questions relating to his profession since the FBI's investigation in Japan must remain a secret. Conan calls Jodie to come and help prove Camel's innocence.

Innocence (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 502)

Jodie arrives and tells the police that Camel is an FBI agent and that they are a couple vacationing in Japan. The police continue the investigation and notice that a memo with the words "Bring my Tux" was ripped out by an unknown culprit. Jodie asks Camel why he was in Japan two years ago. He replies that he was on a mission with Akai to investigate the Black Organization. He tells her that in the past, he made a mistake and exposed Akai's identity as an FBI agent to the syndicate and impeded Akai's mission as a spy. This indirectly resulted in the Organization murdering Akai's love, Akemi Miyano. Elsewhere, Gin orders Rena to set up a meeting with Akai or be branded as a traitor and subsequently killed. He tells her that he will plant a bug on her during the meeting and that it is her duty to kill Akai. Akai receives a call from Rena and agrees to meet with her, knowing that it is an ambush set up to take his life.

Ready to Die (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 503)

Conan realizes why the culprit took the memo and tells Inspector Megure his plan to reveal the culprit.

Inspector Megure gathers the four suspects and places chairs behind the each of them. He then tells them to Shiran Puri (知らん振り?, lit. Feign Ignorance) and all but Toby Keynes sit down in their chairs. Jodie reveals that foreigners would recognize "Shiran Puri" as "Sit Down Please" and since Keynes did not sit down, reveals he is actually Japanese. Jodie then explains that after Keynes murdered the president, he noticed the memo and took it believing it was the President's dying message indicating Keynes to be the murderer. As evidence, they find the missing memo inside Keynes' pocket. Keynes confesses to the murder and explains that his American girlfriend was tricked into signing a contract by the president. His girlfriend did not understand the contract since she was not fluent in Japanese; the contract forced his girlfriend to work long hours which in the end resulted in her death. As part of the contract, his girlfriend's younger brother would be held responsible if she is unable to continue working. Keynes wanted to save his girlfriend's brother and thus murdered the president of the company.

Character background revelations

• Eisuke Hondou was revealed to be the biological brother of Rena Mizunashi who's real name is Hidemi Hondou. He had leukemia as a child and was given a bone marrow transplant from Hidemi. As a consequence, his blood type changed from O to AB. He is cleared of any residual suspicion of being involved with or followed by the Black Organization.
• Hidemi Hondou admits to being a CIA agent on a mission to infiltrate the Black Organization. Her "running away from home" and overseas schooling was a cover story for her CIA training.
• Hidemi Hondou reveals her father, Ethan Hondou, was also a CIA agent on the same mission. Although it seemed like Hidemi killed her father, the truth was that Hidemi made a mistake, so her father commits suicide in a way that makes it look like Hidemi killed him for being a traitor in order to fool the Black Organization and rescue her. As a consequence, Hidemi gains the trust of the boss and is able to ascend the Black Organization's ranks.
• Shuichi Akai infiltrated the Black Organization five years prior to the current timeline using the alias Dai Moroboshi and dated Akemi Miyano, one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet Shiho Miyano and use her influence to get into the Black Organization. Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current timeline received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent Gin. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place, but Andre Camel made a mistake causing the Black Organization to discover Akai's true allegiance. Akai is still in love with Akemi Miyano and wants to get revenge for her murder. Her last text message to Akai contained a confession of love to him, and an unrevealed P.S.
• Andre Camel is revealed to be an FBI agent loyal to Akai who feels a debt to Shuichi Akai for ruining his infiltration of the Black Organization and the FBI's chances to capture Gin two years ago. As it was his mistake that got Akai ousted and led to Akai's girlfriend, Akemi Miyano, being killed later he volunteers for the dangerous role of transporting Kir in order to make amends.

Important event summaries

• Conan and Shuichi Akai confront Black Organization member Rikumichi Kusuda. Although the FBI fail to apprehend him in the hospital, he commits suicide when he discovers Akai is chasing him.
• Conan and Akai use Eisuke to force Hidemi into revealing she was really conscious and strike a bargain with her to help her return to the Black Organization if she will share intelligence with the FBI as well. At this time, Eisuke learns his sister is a CIA agent on the trail of a large organization, but is not allowed to hear any more information.
• Conan, Akai, and Camel safely execute a plan that returns Hidemi to the Black Organization while making it looked like the FBI failed to protect her. She convinces the Organization that Haido Central Hospital Staff were not involved so avoid civilian harm.
• In order to clear suspicions about how easy it was to reclaim her, the Black Organization Boss, through Gin, orders Kir to call out Shuichi Akai and kill him. She does so, shooting Akai in the lung and head while Gin and Vodka watch on camera. He is now apparently dead although it is possible he may have plotted a strategy to fake his death.

Trivia

• The anime reordered several cases in the making of Clash of Red and Black. In the manga, Demon of the TV Station occured in between Deceased Mother's Memento (Manga: 586, 587-590, Anime: 492-494) and the Fake Patient (Manga: 595-598, 495-497).
• The anime omitted a single chapter manga case called "The Fugitive" that took place in just before the Fake Patient (Manga: 595-598, 495-497). To date it is the only case that has not been made into an anime, however Opening 23 vaguely resembles the plot of this short case.
