Conan notices that some of the words are dry while others are wet, revealing the dry message to spell Shingo, the name of one of the actors. Shingo reveals he changed the message to avoid being suspected of murdering Morio. Conan discovers the name was altered to frame Shingo and that the real name is under Shingo. Using Kogoro, Conan reveals that the name left by Morio is Taeko, and reveals Taeko Mamegaki to be the murderer. He reveals when Taeko killed Morio, she did not notice the dying message. When her husband, Yuji, was searching for her, he spots the message and changed it to frame Shingo. Taeko confesses and revealed that she murdered Morio because he blackmailed her about her past where she indirectly caused the robbery of her grandfather's shrine and causing the shrine's supervisor to suicide.
