Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The hospital calls and informs them that Kaoru's surgery went well. Meanwhile, Conan confronts the culprit, Yuki Takeno, Yuki used her sharp filed nail as a weapon and used a fake nail to cover it. The evidence is the kissmark on the whiteboard that has Kaoru's blood on it due to Yuki's discovery that Kaoru has no nail cutter so she used her teeth and Kaoru's blood got on Yuki's lips. Her motive is that she has crush on Kenzaki and she thought that the fake engagement was just Kaoru playing prank on her emotion. She attempted to commit suicide to pay for her crime of trying to kill Kaoru with hypoglycemic drug, but Conan saved her life using sugar sticks. When Yuki woke up in the hospital Kaoru said that she testified wrongly to cover for Yuki and felt sorry that she wasn't aware of Yuki's crush on Kenzaki. Kaoru revealed that the rumor of the engagement was to get her manager to have enough courage to confess her and later they become engaged (Kaoru wants to get married at age 20 like Yukiko Kudo). It is later revealed that Terumi has idolized Shinichi.

Quote

“	Woman have things they don't want others to know about. For that reason they do some stupid things	„
— Terumi Hoshino said to Conan

Manga to anime changes

• As Episode 249 ends with Terumi bringing up how Megure needs to still find the murder weapon to deduce the suspect, Conan wonders what feeling he's getting off of her.
• The anime cuts out the scene where Ran and Yoko asks Yuki about Kaoru's status.

Trivia

• Conan's mom is mentioned by Kaoru Kusano at the end.
• In this case, Kogoro is wearing the Yoko headband that the culprit was wearing in The Locked Bathroom Murder Case, however their is no blood covering up any of the letters, as in the other case.
• Although Terumi Hoshino appeared on a poster in The Locked Bathroom Murder Case, this is the first time with her having a speaking role.
• Kogoro told Conan that these 4 female idols are referred to as the four 'Earth Ladies,' since
  • Kusa from Kaoru Kusano represent the fields,
  • Takeno Yuki represents the glaciers at the top of the mountains,
  • Hoshi from Terumi Hoshino represents the stars in the sky,
  • Yoko Okino represent the water and oceans."
• There may be other cases, however this is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, in order to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.
• This case stated that Osamu Kenzaki does like Terumi Hoshino, however she has feelings for Shinichi Kudo, and even keeps a newspaper clipping of him with her.
