90

Richard is invited to Rita Jordan’s ikebana award ceremony to investigate a threat letter announcing a murder at a luxurious hotel. Rita brushes the letter off as jealousy, but the threat soon comes true when Ty Sherwood, the hotel owner, is strangled to death. During the investigation, Conan reveals chloroform vapors released from Sherwood’s flower rendered him unconscious and was killed. Also found in Rika's dressing room is cyanide. Due to Rita's uncaring behavior, Conan suspects her to be the killer and worries she may kill again. He gets to the bottom of the situation, hurries to the stage where Rika is performing, and sprays all the flowers with liquid nitrogen, which are laced with cyanide. With Richard stunned, Conan reveals that the killer’s next target was Rita Jordan herself, and Madison, Rika's manager, to be the culprit who also made a suicidal attempt. Madison explains that the ikebana technique Rita became famous for was her sister's and Rita was a student learning the ropes. Rita stole her sister's technique, got the funding for it, and passed it off as her own, and Madison‘s sister committed suicide. With the truth exposed, Rita is left a broken woman and Richard, now awake, spanks Conan for "ruining the show." (Source: Wikipedia)
