Resolution

The culprit is Kosuke Omura. The intended victim was Ryoji Nojima, but Michiko unknowingly fell into his trap. Michiko licked her wounded finger which made her swallow the poison. The cause was a poisoned box cutter blade inside the book, not the book cover. Kosuke originally planned to poison Ryoji when he cut his finger while picking up the wrongly-placed book from the shelf. Since there are poisonous books in the library, he could make it look like an accidental death. When Nojima asks him for his motive, Omura admits that he when he was broke, he stole and sold Nojima's book. He was later found out by Nojima, and he was made to work like a slave because of that. Due to having reached his limit, he decided to murder Ryoji Nojima.

Aftermath

Michiko is now healthy again. She gives each of the Detective Boys a present. Conan is excited, thinking it might be another first edition of Sherlock Holmes. But after opening the wrapping, they are speechless to see that it is the novel written by Michiko. Michiko explains that she finished her novel since she had nothing better to do at the hospital and self-published it. Conan laughs it off since he realizes his hopes were too high.
