Kogoro, Ran, Conan are in a train station where they meet Kuniko Yamamoto, a clothing designer, Kaori Obayashi, a travel agent, and Kanami Kaneda, a housewife. The three of them are going to Dolphinland, a dolphin-themed amusement park, to visit Naomi Fujimura, a children's clothing designer. When the three women go to Naomi Fujimura's room, Kogoro wants to go but refused by Ran, but they hear the three women screaming, and find Naomi Fujimura dead.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Kuniko Yamamoto. After committing the murder, she took Naomi Fujimura's cellphone and went to the station to meet Obayashi and Kaneda. Then, using the cellphone in her pocket, she called her own phone and pretended to talk with Fujimura. The only thing she to do was return the phone during the commotion after the body was discovered, and reveal that Yamamoto has a plastic bag in her pocket. She put Naomi Fujimura's cellphone in the bag and took it away. And in the plastic bag several fingerprints and there is a weird vertical pattern was discovered, and tells that Yamamoto that on her cellphone there are numbers 02058252805. To call her number, only the center buttons are necessary hence the vertical pattern as you dialed through the plastic bag.

• Motive

Yamamoto and Fujimura sought the recommendation for a job in America after graduation, it was with a well-known company, and Naomi Fujimura, who was already good, became a successful designer with them. But she was supposed to have been chosen, but Naomi Fujimura used her feminine charms on the professor, she didn't know a thing about it until the professor let it slip one time when they were having drinks. She was exaggerating a little, but the truth is she was fired from her job just because she had a little too much to drink once. She felt humiliated to Naomi Fujimura because she took happiness away from her.
