Review: 
Actually, for me, this episode is as good as episode 3, even better. I like the concept the director bring to the ground in this short duration movie. The keynote is all about affair and cheating. It's usual love situation that happened in a movie or a real life. This affair may lead to the worst thing is murder and that what happens at this episode. The plot is simple but interesting. It's not too much like the other episode but still can entertain the audiences. This is the first time I have to rack one's brains to think about how can he murdered in front of the guests. And that's raise my Detective feeling to the top, I like it. It's not that predictable so you have to see it clearly if you want to guess who is the murder and how can he do it.
This episode is also the most similar episode to  its anime. The killer used Potassium Cyanide to kill Akihiro. It is used so many times at Conan's manga and anime and you can see it here in live action episode. It's great and I have been waiting for all this time, this live action will be at least look like its anime or manga. The weakest thing in this episode is the duration. Because of the short duration, everything is happening too fast. But that's still ok since it's interesting. The acts in this episode are also great especially Saori and Chisato. They do what they should do and it's perfect. But the main acts are just like the other episode, a bit lame. Overall, it's good and enjoy it. :D

Good points: 
-   The concept is good with good story to enjoy
-   This episode may boost up your Detective's will to solve it 

Bad points:
-   Everything is happening too fast because of short duration
-   Cheesy main acts

Rating: 6.5/10.0
