Case

Situation

Conan and the Detective Boys are invited by their classmate Yuka Konno to come to her house. At her house, they meet Shinya Sakaguchi, a man who is in a relationship with Yuka's mother and was told to take care of Yuka. Yuka shows the Detective Boys her pet budgerigar named Chichi. She explains that a male budgerigar's cere is blue while a female's is brown, yet Chichi's became brown; Yuka also notes Chichi looks smaller than usual. Haibara reveals that Sakaguchi bought a substitute pet for Yuka since Chichi is missing. The next day, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko question Sakaguichi on Chichi's whereabouts. Sakaguchi explains that he found Chichi dead in its cage, so he replaced the bird as not to sadden Yuka about its death.

The three become suspicious of Sakaguichi and come to the conclusion he was testing an evaporating poison on the bird. As support to their idea, Mitsuhiko points out that explains why they found the all doors and windows open in that room; It was so the poison would be aired out. They come to the conclusion Sakaguichi put the poison in the soy sauce and rush to Yuka's house to tell her. They find Conan and Sakaguichi there and Conan explains what truly happened. He explained that Sakaguichi's story was true, since budgerigar become more lively and have their cere's turn brown when they are sick. He explains that the windows and doors were open to prevent them from noticing Sakaguichi's body odor due to the fact he had to work three days straight on an experiment and had not showered. Sakaguichi apologizes to Yuka for not telling her about Chichi's death and gives her a male budgerigar.
