Conan is a huge fan of Ray Curtis and is very excited to see him in person. The announcer then asks why they chose Japan to open their restaurant. Ray answers that it's because Japan is like a second home to them. Ray's wife and Mike's wife are both Japanese and Ricardo loves ninjas and samurais. Next, the announcer asks does the "K" in the restaurant's name "K3" mean "Kings". Ray says they are the "K"s in "knockout", "strikeout" and "goalkeeper". |

He doesn't know who invited him but is grateful as he loves sushi. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro reveals that Ed McCay is famous in America.

Conan says it's because Ray used to be a fielder, but during the World Cup, both the first string and back-up goalkeepers were injured, putting them in a pinch, as a result they decided to make Ray the goalkeeper. His super-saves led them to victory. After that, he continued as goalkeeper with the number 8 on his uniform. Kazuha then asks what does number 99 mean on the uniform Mike wears. Heiji answers that it stands for his 99 mph pitching. Lastly, Kazuha asks what does the number 4 mean on the boxing glove under Ricardo's signature. Kogoro answers that it's because Ricardo used to always win in four rounds. |

| − | + | Otaki and the police arrive. The cause of death is a gunshot wound to the chest. The weapon is determined to be a Smith & Wesson revolver. Judging from the blood stains, death wasn't instant. Heiji states that the gunshot was heard at 8:05 pm. In the hotel while making the giant "K", Ray was responsible for the 1st and 2nd floors, Mike was responsible for the 3rd and 4th floors, and Ricardo was responsible for the 5th floor. The crime scene is on the 2nd floor. That means any one of those three could have committed the crime.

Otaki and Heiji discuss the three athletes' motives: Ricardo was suspected of match fixing and was forced to retire, Ray was exiled from European soccer for suspected drug use, and Mike got divorced due to an affair scandal. All were proven to be fabricated in court. Conan is acting strangely as the three celebrities are suspects, but he isn't sharp as he usually is. Heiji wonders if something is holding him back. |

After utilizing the trick above and having Ran confirm his alibi, he rushed to the room McCay was in and killed him, and immediately ran downstairs to the rightmost bottom room to make everyone think that he was there all along. Because of that, the police wouldn't suspect him to be the murderer as he didn't have enough time to "run to the victim's room after turning on the lights, shoot and kill McCay, and rush back to the rightmost bottom room". Because McCay’s room was on the second floor, neither Ricardo or Mike were capable of committing the crime without Ray noticing, making Ray himself the only possible suspect capable of committing the murder. |

Conan, though saddened by his hero's revelation, confronts and comforts him that even though he is facing the darkest time of his life, drugs and murder is foul play no matter the excuse. He deserves a red card for being a loser.

Situation
Part 1
Heiji invites Conan, Ran and Kogoro to the opening party of a restaurant owned by three athletes who are famous in America. In Osaka at the K3 Restaurant, Kogoro is very excited to meet Mai Kuraki, Miho Komatsu, TWO-MIX, and his favorite idol, Yoko Okino.
The announcer introduces the three athletes: former heavyweight boxing champion Ricardo Barreira, major leaguer Mike Norwood and goalkeeper Ray Curtis, known as the "Iron Wall of Europe". Conan is a huge fan of Ray Curtis and is very excited to see him in person. The announcer then asks why they chose Japan to open their restaurant. Ray answers that it's because Japan is like a second home to them. Ray's wife and Mike's wife are both Japanese and Ricardo loves ninjas and samurais. Next, the announcer asks does the "K" in the restaurant's name "K3" mean "Kings". Ray says they are the "K"s in "knockout", "strikeout" and "goalkeeper".
Suddenly, a news reporter named Ed McCay interrupts and says K should stand for "kitanai" meaning filth for all the scandals in which they were involved. He doesn't know who invited him but is grateful as he loves sushi. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro reveals that Ed McCay is famous in America. He is a reporter whose speciality is reporting on famous athletes' scandals, most of which are fabricated.
The announcer asks the audience for questions for the three athletes. Ran steps up but actually asks Ray Curtis for his autograph. The announcer is initially against it, but Ray says that it's okay and also gives one of his number 8 uniforms to her. When Ray asks her name, she actually asks to write 'Shinichi'. Conan blushes because Ran remembered that he was a fan of Ray Curtis.
Kazuha thinks it's weird that goalkeepers are supposed to be number 1 but Ray wears number 8. Conan says it's because Ray used to be a fielder, but during the World Cup, both the first string and back-up goalkeepers were injured, putting them in a pinch, as a result they decided to make Ray the goalkeeper. His super-saves led them to victory. After that, he continued as goalkeeper with the number 8 on his uniform. Kazuha then asks what does number 99 mean on the uniform Mike wears. Heiji answers that it stands for his 99 mph pitching. Lastly, Kazuha asks what does the number 4 mean on the boxing glove under Ricardo's signature. Kogoro answers that it's because Ricardo used to always win in four rounds.
When Ran gets back with the autographed uniform for Shinichi, she also has a ticket to the exhibition match at Nagai Stadium that Ray will be playing in. She decides to give it to Conan much to his delight. Ray also asked Ran to help him with a secret project and gave her a wireless transceiver.
Outside, Ran uses the transceiver to communicate with the three athletes, who go to the hotel rooms above the restaurant to form a giant letter "K" with the lights from the hotel's rooms. When the "K" is finally finished, a gunshot goes off and one of the windows breaks. Conan and Heiji run back inside inside the hotel and then upstairs to where the gunshot was heard. They enter a room and after turning on the lights, they find the dead body of Ed McCay.

Otaki and the police arrive. The cause of death is a gunshot wound to the chest. The weapon is determined to be a Smith & Wesson revolver. Judging from the blood stains, death wasn't instant. Heiji states that the gunshot was heard at 8:05 pm. In the hotel while making the giant "K", Ray was responsible for the 1st and 2nd floors, Mike was responsible for the 3rd and 4th floors, and Ricardo was responsible for the 5th floor. The crime scene is on the 2nd floor. That means any one of those three could have committed the crime. Judging from the past the three athletes had with Ed McCay, they all undoubtedly had motives to kill him.
When Conan checks the corpse, he notices the victim is gripping his belt with his left hand. While the fingers of his right hand are peculiar as well: The little finger and ring finger are curled in. Conan realizes that this is most likely a dying message that McCay left behind with the last of his strength. Otaki calls the belt a "band", which Heiji remarks is a term only middle-aged people use.
When the police check all the guests for traces of gunpowder, all the tests come back negative. They also give the three athletes a simple body check but their managers prevented any further checks. Otaki and Heiji discuss the three athletes' motives: Ricardo was suspected of match fixing and was forced to retire, Ray was exiled from European soccer for suspected drug use, and Mike got divorced due to an affair scandal. All were proven to be fabricated in court. Conan is acting strangely as the three celebrities are suspects, but he isn't sharp as he usually is. Heiji wonders if something is holding him back.
Part 2
Heiji checks the rooms and keeps thinking of possible ways that the murder could have taken place.
Conan suddenly appears and talks to him about all three athletes and how they are all innocent. Heiji and Conan open a closet and find a mop inside, they both realize what the trick is. However, Conan who is in disbelief raises his voice at Heiji stating that he will prove that the murder was committed by someone else. Conan leaves and finds the three athletes leaving the restroom all together. He overhears them talking while one of them is supporting Ray Curtis who is limping. Conan goes into the restroom and finds an air pump needle in the trash. He hears Ran, Kazuha, and Kogoro walking over, Kogoro is talking to Ran and Kazuha about what he had overheard in the restaurant. He heard one of the employees saying that they understand what "bandou" means. Kogoro also said that Ed McCay was fluent in Japanese and knew a lot about Japanese food. Hearing this, Conan puts two and two together realizing who the culprit is, much to his anger and disbelief.

Quotes
- Conan's last conversation with Ray in English:
Stop... Stop it, Ray. Even if you are facing a bitter aspect of life. Drugs and murder are foul without any excuse. You deserve a red card, for a loser.
—Conan Edogawa
True. I was a cheater, bad player, and I lost the game... I must be ejected. For both my late wife, and for a fan like you.
—Ray Curtis
