Haroshio Constantine, Richard's mentor, decides to pay a visit to the agency but finds out Richard is out on a case. Rachel and Conan take him to the Theater of Arts where they see Richard trying to find who sent a threatening note. Conan learns that the blackmailer is after starring actress Shriva Ordain's life, but she doesn't take the matter serious. During a rehearsal, Shriva drops dead from potassium cyanide slipped in her drink. Every possible angle in Shriva's death is examined amen explored. Richard injures his back trying to dodge a harmless trap and is sent to the hospital. Conan solves the case, puts Constatine to sleep, and shows that someone used a string covered in poison and lowered it into a glass the actress was drinking from to kill her. Her agent, Harmony, is identified as the murderer when marks from pulling the string are seen on her hands. She reveals that her client broke up with her boyfriend, Harmony's ex-fiancée and lead male star, and showed nothing but cold disregard for breaking his heart. Harmony had ended her relationship with him, and aborted his baby she was carrying to help his career and would not let a woman who did not love him ruin him. (Source: Wikipedia)
