<spoiler>Conan reveals the murderer to be the butler, '''Sohachi Ueki'''. Conan reveals that Fujieda was drugged with Isoprenaline causing him to be stunned and dazed when he stood up to stretch causing them to believe that the culprit was in the room at the time of the murder. Conan explains that Fujieda was shot from outside the room. Another complication involves how three shots were heard but that the gardener Kozo Doi testified that he only heard two with the first sound being glass shattering. Megure realizes after a hint from Eri and Yukiko that Ueki must have used a silencer, for the first shot (also explaining why on the surveillance footage there was an absence of a gunshot). It also explains why the gunshot wound was shallow in nature according to Chiba's report.

Ueki confesses and reveals he murdered his Fujieda in order to preserve the garden his former master worked so hard to build.

Ueki confesses and reveals he murdered Fujieda in order to preserve the garden his former mistress cherished and worked so hard to build. Mikio's will was then read that he will not give his inheritance to those who could not protect his life and Motoka was forced to sell her possession to pay Eri, Kogoro, and Yukiko for total of 10 million yen according to laws No. 415.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Yukiko and Eri ask Kogoro whom he voted for in their high-school pageant. Kogoro reveals he voted for Eri since he thought "Miss" meant "mistake" and that it was a mistake for Eri to have entered the competition. Kogoro told that he would vote for Yukiko if he realized "Miss Teitan" was a beauty contest. Much to Eri's dismay, she took 10% (1 million yen) of Kogoro's payment for solving the case and Ran took some to pay for Kogoro's debts, for their expenses, and payment for the laundry (since Kogoro peed his pants) leaving Kogoro less than 5000 yen.</spoiler>

** In [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]], she told Ran that Conan "happens to be my grandfather's older brother's daughter's cousin's uncles' grandson."

    • This case marks Midori Kuriyama's first canon appearance.
    • This case also revealed that Yukiko was already a gifted actress, and Eri, even at the age of 16, received an offer to study at Harvard.
    • This is one of the first cases, of not the only case, where Yukiko almost blew Conan Edogawa's identity.
      • Yukiko quickly covered it up by saying, "My Grandpa's sister's daughter's cousin's uncle's grandson."
      • In The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases, she told Ran that Conan "happens to be my grandfather's older brother's daughter's cousin's uncles' grandson."
