He should either be a strong man, a feminine-looking man or a old man. She also recalls that he had a characteristic, that everyone in the organization agreed on, but she can't remember what. Ayumi suddenly sees an young boy standing and staring at an apartment. She remembered that he had also been standing there earliere that day. When the children asks him, the boy breaks down crying. He tells them that a woman who lives in the apartment had asks him to keep an eye on her door. She was going to have three visitors, and if she didn't come out after the last one had left, then she had been murdered, and the boy should call the police. The detective boys decide to check out the apartment, and on their way, the boy tells them, that he barely knows the lady.

Resolution

Shibakaru admits that the phone that rings in his pocket belongs to the victim. Conan reveals that the victim did commit suicide to expose the three suspects' past crime to the media. She had arranged a footstand made by the money and the manuscript, which she kicked away to hang herself. Two of the suspects took the money and the manuscript away, and hence getting rid of the evidence of a footstand, so the suicide would appear like a murder. Conan thinks the victim made the wrong decision, because she had taken away the only friend that Mamoru had made. Haibara tells Conan of the last characteristic of Rum that is the same from every source talking about him. He lost his eye in an accident and now one of his eye is a prosthesis.

Trivia

• Lum Invader, a character from the external manga series Urusei Yatsura by Rumiko Takahashi, is a pun on the similar sounding of the names "Lum" and "Rum" due to the Japanese pronounciation of the Katakana syllable "ラ" ("ra") used in both. In the Japanese original, Haibara adds the word "-datcha", which is a famous speech affection used by Lum.
  • Incidentally, Fumi Hirano, Lum's voice actress in the manga's animated conversion, previously performed the role of Reiko Shimizu in The Private Eyes' Requiem.
