Situation

Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are at a movie premier of Jinnai King of Death VIII. After the show they see Hayato Nanjo greeting fans, he plays Jinnai in the movie. Then Kogoro is spotted by Hayato's wife who shows him a death threat that says Hayato will die at midnight just like in the movie. His wife is worried but Hayato brushes it off.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The killer is Satomi Yoshino. Using vinyl tape and fishing wire she made a human silhouette on the window so it looked like someone was standing there. Then she attached the wire to the tape and a light switch and finally the elevator. So when the elevator went down it first turned on the light then ripped off the tape from the window so to the observers at the bottom it looked like someone was moving in the room.

Motive

Yoshino wanted to avenge Hiroyuki Kitano, who she knows was killed by Hayato Nanjo. Kitano got the part of Jinnai couple of years back so a jealous Hayato decided to kill him by telling to do a stunt without a stunt man. Hayato then sabotaged Kitano's car for the stunt by removing a bolt, which resulted in it crashing and killing him.

Trivia

• Hayato Nanjo reappears only in a poster in The Locked Bathroom Murder Case.
