After a thorough investigation, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit to be Shiro's wife, Kyoko Shibata. Conan reveals that the photograph was used to hide Shiro's real dying message, his wedding ring covered in blood in his right hand. Conan reveals that Kyoko falsified Shiro's time of death by placing the morning newspaper by Shiro's late night snack to pretend it was breakfast and by using a timed videocassette recorder to record a show. Kyoko confesses and reveals that Shiro was gambling them into debt and she was forced to kill him.
