File 234 - Another Half Year...
Conan notices that Ran is increasingly becoming more aloof towards him (Shinichi) during phone calls. Additionally, she spends more evenings outside, citing a rigid practice schedule for an upcoming karate tournament. Conan remains skeptical; he keeps an eyes open.
One day, Kogoro, bringing Ran and Conan, attends an appointment with his physician, Yoshiteru Araide. The doctor tells Kogoro that he has "just half a year”, which Kogoro and his company misinterpret as him only having half a year left to live. Kogoro erupts on Yoshiteru about his callous tone, only to learn he was referring to reducing alcohol consumption for a six month period to prevent further damage to his liver. Yoshiteru's wife, Yoko Araide, enters the room and informs the doctor about a phone call from a persistent "patient." Yoshiteru sighs about the case and exits the room. As her husband leaves, Yoko mutters derisively under her breath that the case is more sexual than medical, believing her husband to be engaging in an extramarital affair.
While looking for the bathroom, Ran runs into the doctor's son Tomoaki Araide. They introduce themselves to each other; Tomoaki mentions that he will take a job in a hospital in the Aomori Prefecture starting the following month. The household maid, Hikaru Yasumoto, breaks a flower pot and is reprimanded by a furious Yoshiteru. Tomoaki attempts to calm his father down while Kogoro prepares to leave. Yoshiteru laments the lifestyle of Kogoro, saying that he does not want to see Kogoro dead while still in the prime of his life, especially when he shares a name with Detective Kogoro Mouri. Kogoro corrects Yoshiteru, affirming that he is the famous detective, which sparks astonishment in the doctor. He believed his patient was too uninformed about medicine to be the real detective, and assumes he was feigning his ignorance during the examination. Yoshiteru then invites Kogoro and company for dinner. Conan protests, not wanting to reveal Kogoro's true ignorance, and looks to Ran for reinforcement. However, the girl uncharacteristically bends her tight schedule and agrees to stay, adding to Conan's wariness.
At the dinner table, much to Conan’s consternation, Ran stares at Tomoaki, and both Kogoro and Yoko say that the two would make a good married couple. Yoko then leaves the room to make a phone call about an alumni reunion with a friend. With Yoshiteru nowhere in sight, Kogoro questions his whereabouts. Mitsu Araide (Tomoaki’s grandmother) then enters the room and explains Yoshiteru has a habit of taking his bath before dinner. She also reveals her bitterness towards Yoshiteru as he married into the Araide name before remarrying with Yoko. As the old woman leaves to eat alone, Araide apologizes to his guests, explaining Mitsu's bad temper as the result of Yoshiteru's recent Western bathroom renovations to the otherwise Japanese house.
Suddenly, the lights go out, causing Hikaru to accidentally drop several plates. After finding a flashlight, Hikaru rushes off to switch the fuse box back on. The lights flicker before sparking back on. Conan and Kogoro find Ran tightly holding onto Tomoaki. She explains she mistook him for her father; Conan does not seem entirely convinced. Yoko and Hikaru go to the bathroom to check on Yoshiteru, who they suppose is furious about the power outage. While the remaining members discuss causes for the blackout, they hear the screams from the direction of the bathroom. Everyone rushes over only to find Yoshiteru's lifeless body half submerged in the bathwater.
File 235 - In the Darkness...
Tomoaki tries to resuscitate his father, but to no avail. Megure and Takagi come to the crime scene, and they and Kogoro initially think that Yoshiteru's death was an accident, with Yoshiteru accidentally leaving the wire of his electric razor in the water during the blackout and is electrocuted once the switch is turned on. Conan points out the various problems with this theory, which allows them to rightly conclude that someone must have used a device to cause the blackout and have taken advantage of the darkness to enter the bathroom unnoticed and place the wire in the water instead. Tomoaki knows that they are suspecting his family and himself and is quite upset with it.
The police ask for the alibi of the suspects. Yoko says that she was in a call the whole time; Tomoaki says that he was in the dining room (as confirmed by a flushing Ran); Mitsu says that she was coming downstairs from her room on the second floor; and Hikaru says that she was trying to find the fuse box. Tomoaki also mentions that earlier that day, while everyone else was in the house, he was in Teitan High School as a substitute for the basketball coach, who is suffering from a bone fracture. Ran confirms this and Conan starts suspecting that Ran has been out on evenings to watch Araide coaching; after all, he is a handsome fellow, is kind and approachable, and has outstanding qualifications (he graduated from a prestigious medical school and scored the highest in his year).
File 236 - The Unbelievable Link
Tomoaki notices that Hikaru has a burn scar on her arm and that his grandmother has a wound on her left foot. He therefore takes them to the second floor for treating the injuries and, to his discomfort, is followed by a policeman as Megure still suspects them. Ran offers to help and Conan thus wants to follow them as well, but he is stopped by Kogoro. The investigation continues and Yoko mentions that Yoshiteru's first wife (Mitsu's daughter and Tomoaki's biological mother), named Chiaki, died four years ago due to drunk driving. She details that Chiaki and she were classmates during nurse training and that Chiaki's death was shocking to her because of her dislike of alcohol.
Since the police are unable to find more clues, Megure accepts Conan's proposal to simulate the blackout. Conan thus goes upstairs to call Ran and others, but sees her holding hand with Tomoaki; he does not know that this happened because when treating the injuries, Ran accidentally injured herself and Tomoaki was trying to disinfect her wound (he also does not know that when Tomoaki complimented Ran on her familiarity with bandages, she says that she has gained experience by treating a naughty boy (Shinichi) during youth).
The simulation reveals that Hikaru took an exceptionally long time to turn on the light; this means that the alibis of multiple people are problematic. Tomoaki, on the other hand, does not see that the simulation has led to any new information and slams the police and Kogoro for unreasonably suspecting his family and not considering their feelings. Conan is still stuck, partially because of lack of evidence and partially because Ran and Tomoaki's relationship made him unable to focus; this changes when he stumbles across a fragment of something on the second floor and sees something in Hikaru's room. He now seems to know who the culprit is, and so he tranquillizes Kogoro and makes Megure carry him into the bathroom where the murder happened. Conan then announces to everyone that Kogoro knows the truth about this murder and that once he is finished taking a bath he will reveal it.
