Conan then sets up a meeting at Kogoro's office where the police and two suspects are gathered. After knocking Kogoro out with a tranquilizing and using his voice changing bow-tie to impersonate Kogoro, Conan reveals that Kusaka attempted to murder Masaru Saruhashi but was killed in self-defense. Conan reveals that Kusaka stored a bag containing his objects along with a tape recorder and phone timed to call Tsukigata at 8:10 to create an alibi; This is evidenced by a train ticket revealing the actual time Kusako was at the train station. After Kusaka's death, Saruhashi carries the body to the park and heads to a bar to create his alibi. The key #0101, Kusaka used to store the tape recorder used to create his alibi was left in Saruhashi's room and thus his guilt in self-defense was established.
