Before being taken away by the police, Kogoro lectures Kanon that Nana had envied her due to being in love with a man Kanon truly loves as both Nana and Kanon hold a complex to each other.

It was during the day where Shinichi and Ran were invited to act as supporting characters for the upcoming movie for Nagata Akihiro. During the break, he was caught kissing newcomer actress Ikutsuki Saori by his wife, Nagata Chisato and nearly breaking a fight with her, nearly attempting to kill Saori with a knife. After the argument been settled, everyone is treated with a cup of tea, only to witness Akihiro die from poisoning. Shinichi deduces that he died from potassium cyanide in his tea. Soon Shinichi places a trap and proves that the culprit is Ishihara Kana, the villa's manager. Turns out that all of the tea cups were placed with potassium cyanide only the differences are that she placed it at a certain portion where only left handed people would get killed, which Akihiro happens to be a lefty. It also reveals that Kana happens to be Kimura Keisukue's wife who was having an affair with Chisato as it was proven due to her bracelet. Because of that incident, Kimura was driven to death as his dreams of being an actor was shattered. After revealing that, Chisato reveals that Kimura was no use to him and she could be very popular in the end.

Continuing from the previous episode, Shinichi tries to remember what was the case of that specific date and then remembers the case in the cabaret club. The case begins where Ran and Shinichi in disguise were spying on Kogoro with Takagi (since they need access to the club). They notice a famous professor, Mine Mashito with Kumi while Kogoro with Kyoko. Soon it was game time, Kiss-Kiss Derby in which both Kogoro and Mashito was selected. The game rules are that both men takes turns, receiving kisses from the 20 ladies who are lined up then pour wine into their glasses. The winner will be given a special kiss from Kumi. During the game, both men get kisses from the ladies (which infuriates Ran). The winner happens to be Mine and once Kumi drank the wine, she was about to kiss when she collapses. Shinichi checks on her and sadly she has already died. During investigation, it reveals that Kumi has died from drinking wolf's bane that was inside Kyoko's container. However, Kyoko denies it as she doesn't know it at all. Shinichi notices the line-up draw on the white board and sees that Kyoko was No.16. He deduces that the culprit must be a whiz in maths since the game only lets the contestants choose between 1 and 3, there's higher chances that the poison was in Kyoko's wine. Oddly, all the girls seem to be very happy that Kumi's gone, even going so far as to take down the picture. As the investigation progresses, Kogoro suspects it was Mashito but Shinichi proves that it was Kazuyo who poisoned Kumi. The proof is that she knows one of the lines that mathematician Rene Descartes says, in which Mine knows about it since Mashito told her. Her motive was that she had fallen in love with Mashito since last Christmas as she's the only person who talk as serious as she does. However, she overhears Kumi's conversation that she's planning to cheat Mashito with his money and plans to murder Kumi to protect Mashito. As she's been taken away while Mashito cried in grief, Kogoro noted that Kazuyo learns maths just for Mashito so she'll used him to make him remember her for all his life as lover. He even added that a woman's heart can't be calculated by maths, which leads Shinichi to be confused.

As soon as they arrived at the Hyogoro Ramen Headquarters, they were briefed by Miki that she got an anonymous call that her sister has been kidnapped along with Sonoko and demand 10 billion diamonds for their lives. Once they fulfilled the demands and oddly the diamonds disappeared without the kidnapper appearing, they receive a letter inside the box that they've received it and will release the hostages at Beika's Central Park and later directed them to the Headquarters underground depot. As soon as they rescued the hostages, they realize that Miki was strangled to death when they left her. After further investigation, Shinichi figures out that Miki was the true kidnapper to have the diamonds for herself however, Yuri murdered her sister since she was in cahoots with her plan. The proof is that one of the assistants picks up a bead that happens to be from Miki's necklace during the rescue in the underground depot. Yuri confesses however she told him that Miki was the one who plans it and probably left a dying message before she dies. Shinichi notices a strange sound at the air vent and opens it, as countless diamonds falls off from it.
