Shuji Tsugawa is the culprit and he hid the corpse on top of the elevator. Tamada discovered the illegal drugs hidden inside the fake books which meant Tsugawa was a drug dealer and that's why Tsugawa killed him to keep him quiet. After killing him Tsugawa threw his body down the elevator shaft causing him to land on top of the elevator, this would come back to bite him as Conan noticed that the elevator overweight alarm went off despite the elevator having enough room this was due to the corpse that was on top of the elevator.

The books with the drugs had no spine, so Tsugawa hid the books in the kids section creating three rows of books instead of two. As a result the books looked uneven and unaligned due to the one book pushing the other book out to the other side, because of the third additional row of books.

Murder
	Location: Beika Library Elevator Victim: Kazuo Tamada Cause of death: Blunt force trauma (post mortem) Culprit: Shuji Tsugawa The victim was put on top of the elevator box, adding unseen weight.

Murder
	Location: Beika Library (unknown specific location) Victim: Kazuo Tamada Culprit: Shuji Tsugawa Tsugawa killed Tamada because Tamada found the narcotics hidden in the mysterious books.

After finishing the case, Conan walked back with the Detective Boys, thinking that should be his final case in Conan's form, as he will be drinking Paikaru afterward and turning back to Shinichi Kudo permanently. However, a second round of Paikaru didn't work for him as Dr. Agasa explained that he had most likely built up an immunity against it, and the next day Conan appeared to be hung over in front of the Detective Boys.
