=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro Mouri heads home carrying a ton of prizes from playing pachinko, only to pick up a note from Ran stating that Eri Kisaki is undergoing surgery in Haido Central Hospital. Kogoro charges towards the hospital but sees that Eri had just woken up from her surgery. She kicks him out of her room, and Conan, who had been watching Eri with Ran, follows him.

Upon getting kicked out, Kogoro coincidentally meets up with Tooru Amuro, who is in the hospital to re-investigate the truth behind Shuichi Akai's death. Tooru asks Conan if he knew someone named Rikumichi Kusuda, a deceased Black Organization member; unfortunately, Conan makes up a bad lie, so Tooru finds out that Conan does know Rikumichi.

Meanwhile, Reina Suto, Katsuki Beppu, Tokie Happo, and Juri Kosaka (a hospital patient) are having a tea party, and a case happens...

}}

The police interrogates each on the suspects one by one which reveals their possible motive; Tokie's former boyfriend was stolen by Reina and became her current husband, Katsuki lost large amount of money because of the stock that Reina recommended, and Juri's son failed an exam because he caught a cold from Reina's son. The three of them denies wanting to kill the victim, since it is not possible to switch a teacup with different colors to poison her.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Juri Kosaka'''. Prior to event, Juri invited Reina and suggested her to have a tea party among friends. After Reina chose the Hibiscus Tea, Juri switched the tea with Butterfly Pea Tea and put a lemon on it, turning it slightly pinkish-red in order to trick Reina that the tea is Hibiscus Tea. During the time that the three friends were looking at Reina's cellphone, Juri switched her own Butterfly Pea Tea disguised as Hibiscus Tea with lemon that she applied poison on the rim in advance with Reina's cup, Afterward, she removes the lemon from the cup and adds baking soda inside to complete the trick. The evidence is a stain of lipstick on her finger, and that her tea contains high amount of baking soda. 

Juri's motive however, is not because her son failed an exam due to that he caught a cold from Reina's son (who Reina forced to come study at the Kosaka House to spread cold to reduce opponent in the exam), but because that she was pregnant at the time. Juri had a miscarriage due to the cold and after hearing a confession from Tsuneo, decided to take revenge for Reina's selfishness.

As Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Tooru Amuro, and Detective Takagi leave the hospital, Takagi states that Haido Central Hospital is cursed; previously, Rena Mizunashi was a patient of that hospital, an injured man forced his way into the hospital, and there was a bombing threat in that hospital. Fearing that information regarding Rikumichi Kusuda would be leaked to Tooru, Conan tries to send Takagi away from the others by reminding him that he should head back to the Tokyo police headquarters, since it was getting late. Unfortunately, Tooru was able to ask Takagi about Rikumichi at the last second, and Takagi says that in Rikumichi's car, there were bloodstains less than 1 mm across. Tooru deduced that Rikumichi was shot by a gun.</spoiler>
