While eating, Yuri starts to struggle and falls on the floor after she's drunk a sip of her glass of champagne. The suspects are the three who had been in touch with her glass: Fukamachi, sitting at her right, Morooka, that approached her, and Murakami, who purposely dropped wine on her cuffs to make her change them.

Nine hours later, after leaving for the Black Bunny's Club and encountering a murder there, Amuro and Akai come face to face, their guns pointed at each-other.
Part 2
During the case, Amuro has a sudden flashback to Elena Miyano treating his wounds and telling him goodbye. He wonders why he suddenly remembered her.
In a flashback with a young Amuro being treated by Elena, it is revealed that Amuro is half-japanese. Bullies used to make fun of his hair and that was the reason he got into fights with them. He was badly injured and Akemi brought him to her parents' clinic. Elena Miyano, who was never too frank with any patient, seemed to be very friendly with Amuro. On asking why, she replied to her husband Atsushi that she's half-japanese too. The
Karasuma Group offered to sponsor Atsushi Miyano's research but he was reluctant to accept their offer considering strange rumors surrounding the organization among his colleagues about being a shady group. However, he agreed to think about it after Elena announced that she was pregnant with
another child.
Part 3
By process of elimination showed by Conan, through presenting possible situations that the suspects might use before and/or on the time of the murder, they were able to odd out the culprit.

Resolution
The culprit is
Atsufumi Fukamachi.
Yuri Asakura is revealed to be Gunzo Morooka's daughter that he had with his estranged wife which Fukamichi didn't knew about. Yuri also makes a successful recovery.
The real reason Amuro had remembered Elena was because the truth of the case resembled his behavior when he'd injure himself intentionally so he could go to the hospital Elena worked in.
After the case, Amuro is seen knocking at the door of the Kudos' residence. The next moment, Amuro and Akai are holding guns at each-other when Yusaku and Yukiko appear making Amuro flustered. Yusaku introduces himself as the owner of the house and invites Amuro for tea since, unlike the
previous time, his comrades are not surrounding the house.
