After putting the characters together, Kogoro solves the code which reveals that the man's daughter was planning to buy him a birthday present with her friend. Conan returns home from school and removes the Katsuobushi which was used to lead Goro to give Kogoro hints. While Kogoro is talking with his client on the cellphone, Goro pulls his tie as if it's trying to say to not tell the client anything in order not to spoil the surprise, and so he tells him he could not solve it and that the man's daughter is a good girl.

Trivia

• Although Eri Kisaki's cat, Goro, made an appearance in The Private Eyes' Requiem, this case is his first canon appearance.
