After a thorough investigation, Conan concludes there was never a painting behind the cloth and that it was suspended by a fishing line. Conan reveals that when the police broke into the room, the fishing line, which was held by a rock at the end, was pulled outside the window creating the sense that a person jumped out the window. The culprit is Takeyori Oikawa. Oikawa confesses and reveals that he had only planned a set of three but his father scammed the customers into buying the third painting into paying extra so that he would make a fourth painting. Oikawa, unable to paint due to the death of his wife, planned to pretend his painting was stolen to save his career. However, Oikawa thought his father would reveal Oikawa's plan to the world and thus ruining his career as an artist. Conan reveals that Oikawa's father had been practicing on imitating Oikawa's style and had the fourth painting finished and his plan was to give Oikawa his painting. Oikawa then laments over the death of his father due to a misunderstanding. Later on, Takagi is revealed to be Kid and leaves the mansion upon helping with the investigation and having his name cleared.
