Episode 05:
When the timer hit zero, the lights went out, but a spotlight was focused on the monitor. The answer had been inputted stopping the timer, but no one in the room had put it in. As Shinichi looks at the date, he realizes that the last time he drank tea was the case of the death of a movie director.
Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko were at the house of the famous movie director Nagata Akihiro. Shinichi was practicing a scene with a new actress, Ikusuki Saori, when he was asked to kiss her, but didn't want to. The director kissed Saori with passion. His wife, actress Nagata Chisato, walked through the door and interrupted. The director admitted that Saori was his lover and that he was going to use her for her next movie.
They went to drink some tea in the other room. The director had a huge tea cup collection and allowed each of his guests pick their own tea cup. Chisato placed some sugar into her husbands tea cup. Saori assumed it was something bad, so Chisato look a sip from the cup. When the director went to take a sip, he collapsed and died from poisoning.
Chisato passed out from finding out her husband had died and was taken to her room. Downstairs, Saori went to grab her bag, but it turned out to be Chisatos, so she tossed it away and out came a bottle of Cyanide. Saori and Chisato both have the same bag because the Director had bought it for them. Chisato comes downstairs after she wakes up. It seems she has amnesia which was caused by the huge shock of her husband being murdered. Shinichi does some research, observing and analyzing in which makes him realize who the real murderer was.
The real murderer was the house assistant (maid, house caretaker, whatever you wanna call it). Her boyfriend was caught in a scandalous relationship with Chisato which was documented in a gossip magazine. Shinichi realized this when the paparazzi picture of the boyfriend had almost the same bracelet as the assistant. It was an anagram for their name. The boyfriend had committed suicide as Chisato was using him and he had lost his chance for acting gigs and even lost Chisato. The assistant wanted revenge and tried to make it seem like Chisato was the murderer. It also turned out that Chisato did not have amnesia but was faking it when she found out they were going to pin the murder on her. Shinichi realized it when she went into a room and found the lightswitch immediately.
After Shinichi inputs the password "
JOYUU" (ACTRESS), the next door opened up. As they checked the monitor, Ran was shot in the leg with a poison and unless they could answer the question in 5min to get the antidote, she'd die.

Episode 06:
As the time is counting down, Shinichi is trying to answer the question on the monitor. He realizes it was the case at a cabaret (hostess) club.
The beginning of the story shows some of the hostess girls getting into a fight with the #1 girl, especially the #2 girl. The #1 girl threatens that the Professor is her "trophy" and no one elses.
In the club, Shinichi and Ran are in disguise spying on Kogoro who's flirting with hostesses again. The hostess girls were going to play a kiss/drink game [[rules: there are 20girls in a row. you alternate turns. can pick 1-3 girls per turn. whoever gets to the last girl, gets a kiss from #1. Every girl you pick, pours a decanter of wine into the huge wine glass you're carrying.]] . Kogoro goes first and picks 3 girls. The Prof picks 1, Kogoro picks 3, etc.. when it came down to the last pick. no matter which number Kogoro picked, the Prof would end up winning the game. Kogoro took his wine glass and drank it all while #1 drank all of the wine that the Doctor collected. #1 collapsed after drinking all the wine, dying from poison.
Shinichi and Ran exposed themselves in the cabaret club (theyre underage), calling for detectives to come in and stopping anyone from leaving. They find it suspicious that none of the hostesses are sad that the #1 girl had died. When testing the decanters, it was tested positive for a poisoning in the #16 bottle, which belonged to the #2 girl. She is suspected of poisoning, but she isn't at fault. She just happened to be in the #16 position in the line up. It didn't matter who ended up in that position, but that the #16 spot would have the poison despite who was holding it.
With a small hint from an unranked hostess, Shinichi was able to figure out who the murderer was and how they got the poison into the decanter. It really didn't matter who was the one in position #16, as long as they were the one passing out the poisoned wine. The unranked hostess unknowingly gave away her cover when she quoted the philosopher Descartes. She used her high blood pressure as a way to hide the poison by carrying capsules (with the poison in it), instead of her regular pills. She poured it into the decanter and passed it on. The reason she did so was to protect the Prof, not necessarily because she hated the girl. She loved the Professor while the #1 was just using him for money. So she did what she did.
Shinichi inputted "DE-KA-RU-TO" (Descartes). When the door opened, it revealed a syringe with the antidote. Kogoro went for it, but the door was closing. He tossed it to Shinichi before being locked in. He used it on Ran and was able to save her in time. Instead of the next monitor showing, a huge balloon was filling up their room.
Comments:
I liked the 6th story more than the 5th. The 5th one was pretty boring, and made me cringe when the actress lady revealed she was faking the amnesia. I seriously wanted to punch her in the face. She seriously was the lowest of all people. In the 6th story, I felt bad for the girl who murdered the #1 hostess. She seemed sweet and she had good intentions, but as Shinichi says, murder is murder.
