Yamanaka says that his pet store was broke and he was so desperate that, when he found the black-eyed bird and captured it, he thought he'd be able to sell it well and clear his debts. He adds that he was sure Shigeko and Santa had realised what was going on, and Santa giving him the black-eye figurine was a warning from them. Conan clears the misunderstanding and explains Santa gave him the figurine in as a friendly gesture, since he's a fan of Santa as in ''Santa Claus'' and loves giving things to everyone, Yamanaka realizes he did a horrible thing, releases Shigeko and prepares to turn himself in, saying that he will be a good man from then on and become worthy of little Santa's friendship.

The dealer '''Kurata''', whom Yamanaka has organized a meeting with, doesn't share the idea. When Conan asks Yamanaka why did he push Shigeko down the stairs, he says it wasn't him... Then, Kurata attempts to steal the bird ''and'' takes little Santa as a hostage. Conan's sleeping darts are stuck in his watch after having struggled with Yamanaka earlier so he cannot 'tranquilize' Kurata, who gets ready to escape dfespite poor Shigeko's tearful pleas and Yamanaka trying to interfere... but when the baby bites his kidnapper's arm and is released, Conan takes the chance to use his Power Shoes and kick a ball into him, knocking out and apprehending the dealer.

Later that day, it is revealed that Santa's real name is Haruka Ishikawa and that '''she''' is a little girl. Ran gives Haruka a hair ribbon and says she knew because Haruka hugged her at the start of the episode, and she did it in a way that's more typical of baby girls (with their whole bodies) than of baby boys (only with their arms). Conan also knows by that point... but because he had to go into the bathroom with little Haruka.
