So Ray just went upstairs and found the door on the mop against the wall. He wondered who did it. Conan appeared and confronts '''Ray Curtis''' that he's the culprit. He first explains how Ray managed to switch on the light. He points out that the room that Ray switched on the light was right below the victim's room. He then kicks the soccer ball at the floor which the victim's room was on and the ball then hits the broom that is set up such that the cabinet door is supported by it. After the ball hits the mop, the cabinet door will fall and hit the switch, thus the light will switch on. Ed McCay's dying message tells that his three fingers referred to how Japanese people eat sushi, while his left hand gripping his belt meant to say, "bandou". In sushi restaurants, the staff tries to avoid giving out prices until the end. They use secret signals like "bandou" for item number 8. That's the number that Ray wears. Ray then asks for proof and pointed out that the police found no gunpowder on him and that even if the find that he had ask to wash his previous set of clothes it could be just because he sweats too much. Conan then asks about his shoes. He deduced that Ray had not taken off his shoes while committing the murder. Ray asked Conan to help suppress the gunpowder evidence on his shoes, but instead Conan kicked the soccer into his face and revealed Ray could no longer block even Conan's shot. Conan demanded to know why Ray could not move like a soccer player; and Ray explains the story behind his crime. | So Ray just went upstairs and found the door on the mop against the wall.

The motive was that Ray had been taking heroin and then marijuana to ease joint pain the heroin had caused which severely harmed his athletic ability and reduced his reaction time.

Ray explained that he decided to take revenge on Ed McCay after that. Suddenly, Conan tells Ray to stop.

Part 1
At the Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about a restaurant's opening party. Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party, saying that three famous athletes from America are also going to be there.
In Osaka at the K3 Restaurant, Kogoro is very excited to meet Mai Kuraki, Miho Komatsu, TWO-MIX, and his favorite idol, Yoko Okino.
The lights get turned off, and the announcer welcomes the three famous American athletes, treating them as special guests. The three athletes are a former heavyweight boxing champion, Ricardo Barreira. Next is the major leaguer who pitches 160 km, Mike Norwood. Lastly, the goalkeeper known as the "Iron Wall of Europe", the pro soccer player named Ray Curtis. When he was Shinichi, he used to be a huge fan of Ray Curtis, and he is very happy to see him in person. The announcer is now going to ask a few questions to the three athletes. First, the announcer asks why they chose Japan to open their restaurant. Ray answers that it's because Japan is like a second home to them. Ray's wife and Mike's wife are both Japanese and Ricardo just love ninjas and samurais. Next, the announcer asks does the "K" in the restaurant's name, "K3", mean "Kings". Ray answers it's wrong. The first is a Knockout, the K from KO in boxing. The next is a "Strikeout", represented by a K in baseball. The last is a "Goalkeeper", keeper starts with K in soccer. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay who was invited to the K3 Restaurant asks that isn't Japan the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth.
Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro knows that Ed McCay's famous in America. He's a reporter that whose speciality is exposing famous athletes' scandals. He manages to prove the athletes took illegal drugs, played fixed games, and had affairs in the past.
Later, the announcer asks the audience to submit any questions to the three athletes. Ran suddenly raises her hand to submit a question, but actually asks Ray Curtis to sign an autograph. The announcer is against it, but Ray says that it's okay and that he'going to sign it on one of his number 8 uniforms. Ran thanks Ray for accepting her request. When Ray asks her name, she actually asks to write 'Shinichi'. Conan blushes because Ran remembered that he was a fan of Ray Curtis.
Kazuha thinks it's weird that goalkeepers are supposed to be number 1 but Ray wears number 8. Conan says it's because Ray used to be a fielder, but during the World Cup, both the first string and back-up goalkeepers were injured, putting them in a pinch. They decided to make Ray the goalkeeper. His super-saves led them to victory. After that, when he entered the Sevilla League in Spain, he came on as a goalkeeper with the number 8. Of course, he wears it for his major league soccer team as well. Kazuha then asks what does number 99 mean the one Mike wears. Heiji answers that it stands for 99 mph, which is 160 km in Japan. It's the speed of Mike's pitch, so he requested that number. Lastly, Kazuha asks what does 4 mean which it says it on the boxing glove under Ricardo's signature. Kogoro answers that it's because Ricardo used to always win in "four" rounds, so he started putting it under his signature.
When Ran gets back with the autographed uniform for Shinichi, she also has the ticket to the exhibition match in Nagai that Ray will be playing in. She gave it to Conan.
Outside, Ran uses the transceiver to communicate the three athletes to go to the hotel rooms above the restaurant to form a letter "K". When it's done, the gunshot occurs and the window breaks. Conan and Heiji go back inside and then upstairs. They find the dead body of Ed McCay.

When Otaki and the police arrive, they identify the victim as Ed McCay, a 48-year old reporter from Chicago. The cause of death is a gunshot wound to the chest. The weapon was a Smith & Wesson revolver. Judging from the blood stains, death wasn't instant. Heiji hears that the gunshot was heard at 8:05 pm. In the hotel making a "K", Ray was responsible for the 1st and 2nd floors, Mike was responsible for the 3rd and 4th floors, and Ricardo was responsible for the 5th floor. That means any of those three could have possibly committed the crime. Judging from the three athletes' past, they all have motives.
When Conan checks the corpse, he notices the victim is gripping his belt with his left hand. Also, the fingers of the right hand. The little finger and ring finger are curled in. It's the dying message from the victim. The keys to figuring this out are the three fingers on the right hand and the white bando in his left, "bando" refering to a leather belt in the west.
When the police checks all the people with gunpowder traces, they found nothing. They also checked the three athletes with light body check but their managers can't let the police treat them as suspects anymore. Of course, there's no gunpowder traces on them either. Those three weren't fond of the victim. He reported that Ricardo fought in fixed matches and was forced to retire. Next, he said that Ray got kicked out of European soccer for illegal drug abuse. Finally, he claimed Mike had an affair that lead to his divorce, but Mike's wife was Japanese and they're doing well. Conan is acting strangely as the three celebrities are suspects. Heiji wonders what's wrong with him.
Part 2
Kogoro, Ran, and Kazuha are still at the party. Ran asks Kazuha where are Conan and Heiji and she told Ran that they are still investigating the case. Meanwhile, Heiji is still in the stairs investigating, trying to figure out who murdered Ed McCay. He checks the rooms and kept thinking. Conan suddenly appeared and talks to him about that all three sport celebrities are all innocent. Heiji and Conan found the mop in the hotel room. They figured out what the trick is and Conan couldn't believe it. Conan went out and found three sport celebrites going out of the restroom. Conan went to the restroom and found the needle from the trash. He heard Ran, Kazuha, and Kogoro coming. Kogoro is talking to Ran and Kazuha about what he had overheard it in the restaurant. He heard one of the employees saying that they understand what "bandou" means. Kogoro also said that Ed McCay was fluent in Japanese and knew a lot about Japanese food. Conan finally figured it out who the culprit is.
