It is revealed that Kanemura, Kiriya, and Motegi are actually scammers. Ran is able to stop Tokuma Norizuki from murdering Takashi Motegi, Mitsu's con artist, and the police arrive. For the previous murder, Conan reveals that Norizuki got off the train 15 minutes late, revealed by the exiting time on his smart card. He reveals that Norizuki used a prepaid ticket to exit and enter Sugame to murder Kanemura and phoned Kiriya to frame him. As evidence, Detective Takagi found the prepaid ticket at Beika and had it analysed for fingerprints. Norizuki confesses and is appalled to discover Mitsu's diary and how she forgave her con artist.
