As Conan investigates, he realizes how the culprit was able to drown Banzo with swamp water in his own attic. Conan tranquilizes Yamamura and reveals the murderer to be Rokuro Tokubi. Conan explains combining the water bottle and the paint bottles would be able to carry enough swamp water to commit the crime; The water was then poured into a basin where Banzo was suffocated in. This is evidenced by the diluted paint that are currently in the containers. Tokobi professes to the murder and exclaims Banzo ordered his son to disguise himself as a kappa and play in the river in order to attract customers to the inn. Conan then explains that Tatsuhiko dressed up as the kappa himself to attract customers to his father's inn. Afterwards, the kappa Ran saw was revealed to be Nohira whom was taking pictures in the river.
