Conan, Kogoro, Ran, and Sonoko are at a tea house when a woman wearing gothic lolita fashion clothing enters the tea house, orders a glass of water, and leaves. Ten minutes later, a woman named Yuika Shodo, arrives to the tea house where they learn that she was suppose to meet with the woman from before. The four then leave to go shopping. On the way, a pair of thieves tries to steal their shopping bags by spilling ice cream on Ran and Sonoko but are foiled by Conan. The girls are forced to change in a public restroom where they find the gothic girl from before dead.

The cellphone of the gothic girl, revealed to be Mihiro Kuze, has been ringing every ten minutes for the past two hours and on the phone is Shodo. The police confirm with the waitress at the tea house that Kuze and Shodo arrived ten minutes apart and with the public restroom thirty minutes away, it removes Shodo as a suspect. Conan however reveals that the gothic girl that entered the restaurant may not have been Kuze since the gothic lolita fashion distracts them from her face.

Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals that the Gothic Girl that entered the tea house was Yuika Shodo and that the glass was prepared with Mihiro's fingerprints. As evidence, Conan reveals that the wound on Shodo's reveals that she had been scratched recently, most likely by Kuze while strangling her, and that her blood must be in the public restroom somewhere. Soon after, Takagi calls confirming that a luminol reaction reveals blood in one of the stalls and that a test will prove whose blood it is. Shodo confesses and reveals that Kuze caused her to lose her boyfriend, housing, job, and friends as Mihiro wanted to Shodo to be friends with only her as she is also unsure that Shodo will forgot her as her friend or not. This prompted Sonoko to give a speech to Shodo This finally got to Shodo that if she had told this to Mihiro long ago, Mihiro would have more trust and belief in their friendship..
