First, Misa and Kinuyo both committed suicide with Misa's being the source of the Tsuchigumo rumor and its supposed curse. Next, Misa’s real father is Ryuji, not Nobukazu. The conception was an arrangement between Ryuji and Kinuyo, because Nobukazu had been declared steril and Kinuyo desperately wanted a child. This is evidenced by Ryuji's emotions at Misa's funeral given that he is her actual father. Finally, the killer set up massive piles of fishing line and a noose that was connected to a car with string. Nobukazu was lured to the room under the promise of a fruitful drug deal and killed; A BB gun pellet was shot at the window to get Nobukazu to look out. When the killer drove away, the noose wraps around Nobukazu’s neck pulling him in the opposite direction. His head struck the central beam nearly killing him instantly.

Robert confesses how he was enraged how no one stopped Misa’s suicide. When he shows no mercy for attacking Kazuha, Heiji reveals it was his own message; Robert wrote “SHINE” as in ”the shine of his life.” “SHI-NE” in Japanese means “die.” Robert, completely devastated and regretting his actions, is arrested for the murders. |

After checking the company's mascot, Shinichi confirms Satoru to be the murderer, thus locking the two in a game of cat and mouse. Shinichi reveals that Satoru suggested to Taiji to change clothes in the elevator where he murdered him. Satoru covered Sakurako’s ear and shot Taiji at the beginning of the party to mask the sound of the gun whilst kissing Sakurako with a silenced pistol, glove and plastic bag so his clothes would not be stained with gunpowder. He got rid of the gun by throwing it down the garbage chute while waiting for Sakurako who was in the bathroom. As evidence, the plastic bag was hid in a mascot costume and that it contains Satoru’s fingerprints; however, he counters stating that his co-workers also touched the plastic bag. Shinichi reveals that Satoru already confessed to the crime also since he said his girlfriend's earrings were pink yet color is not distinguishable in the dark and thus states that Satoru was with his girlfriend when the elevator doors opened. Satoru confesses and reveals that his father's company was destroyed by Taiji and prompted his father to suicide. Shinichi escapes to the bathroom and regresses back to Conan. Ran, completely devastated that Shinichi left to solve another case, has a few words with Conan and eats ice cream with him. |
