After appearing before the group, "Shinichi" and Conan explain themselves. They explain that when they arrived, Kid had already left a card saying that "this is not jewel I was looking for today" and that all they found was Kichida's dead body on the Azure Throne, with a silenced pistol at his feet. Since the kid card did not mention the body, they add that Kid was not the culprit and that Kichida was not there when Kid left. Their explanation to cover Kid's lack of alibi is met with contestation from Kichida's acquaintances Masuo Kase, head of technology for Kichida Industries, Satsuki Kichida, his wife, and Kyuuya Kamiji, Kichida's secretary. | After appearing before the group, "Shinichi" and Conan explain themselves.

Saguru explains that Kid used a Lubor's lens, which was put over the camera lens and uses a series of cylindrical lenses to distort vertical lines without distorting horizontal lines, creating an effect of invisibility. Thus, Kid used the lens and made it seem like there was no one in front of the door, even though he was inside and the door was wide open. Saguru's explanation surprises Nakamori and Jirokichi, but he says that he does not know when Kid got inside in the first place. He is interrupted by "Shinichi", who says that the [[Konosuke Jii|old man]] who talked to the sole security guard to help him find his contact lens was most likely an accomplice of Kid and used this distraction to let Kid slip through and hide in a fake extinguisher case next to the exhibit room's door. After Kichida's team finished their inspection, Kid would come out of his hideout and set the Lubor's lens and get inside the room. Jirokichi interrupts "Shinichi" and asks him how he would have known the password, since only Kichida, Kase and him, and the former replies that the Phantom Thief heard them entering the code and that he would know how many digits were entered by the number of "beep" sounds.

They explain that when they arrived, Kid had already left a card saying that "this is not jewel I was looking for today" and that all they found was Kichida's dead body on the Azure Throne, with a silenced pistol at his feet. Since the kid card did not mention the body, they add that Kid was not the culprit and that Kichida was not there when Kid left. Their explanation to cover Kid's lack of alibi is met with contestation from Kichida's acquaintances Masuo Kase, head of technology for Kichida Industries, Satsuki Kichida, his wife, and Kyuuya Kamiji, Kichida's secretary.
Kamiji probes Shinichi and Conan, asking them how Kid and the killer would have managed to get inside, since there was a camera in front of the door.
