She explains that a male budgerigar's cere is blue while a female's is brown, yet Chichi's became brown. Yuka also notes Chichi looks smaller than usual. Haibara reveals that Sakaguchi bought a substitute pet for Yuka since Chichi is missing. The next day, the Detective Boys question Sakaguchi on Chichi's whereabouts.

The three become suspicious of Sakaguchi and come to the conclusion he was testing an evaporating poison on the bird. As support to their idea, Mitsuhiko points out that explains why they found the all doors and windows open in that room; It was so the poison would be aired out. They come to the conclusion Sakaguchi put the poison in the soy sauce and rush to Yuka's house to tell her. They find Conan and Sakaguchi there and Conan explains what truly happened. He explained that Sakaguchi's story was true, since budgerigar become more lively and have their cere's turn brown when they are sick. He explains that the windows and doors were open to prevent them from noticing Sakaguchi's body odor due to the fact he had to work three days straight on an experiment and had not showered. Sakaguchi apologizes to Yuka for not telling her about Chichi's death and gives her a male budgerigar.
