| − | <spoiler>Ray Curtis | + | <spoiler> |
| + | The culprit is '''Ray Curtis'''. Instead of performing the deduction in front of everyone, Conan has Heiji calls him out to the crime scene for that he wants to confront Ray by himself, claiming that "his greatest fan" is waiting for him. | ||
| − | + | * Ray set up a mechanism at the rightmost bottom room in advance with a mop and a cabinet's door. By kicking a ball from the stair of the same floor as the McCay's room to knock away the mop, Ray was able to turn on the light and create alibi for himself the time of murder. | |
| − | + | * In order to murder the McCay in such a small time frame, Ray first turned on all the light in the four rooms under his responsibility and knocked on the door of McCay's room. After utilizing the above trick and having Ran confirming his alibit, he rushed to McCay and killed him, and immediately ran downstair to the rightmost bottom room to make everyone think that he was there all along. Because of that, the police wouldn't suspect him to be the murderer as he didn't have enough time to "run to the victim's room after turning on the light, kill him, and rush back to the rightmost bottom room". Because the McCay's room was on the second floor, neither Ricardo or Mike were capable of committing the crime without Ray noticing, making Ray himself the only possible perpetrator of the case. | |
| + | |||
| + | * Knowing that the police would check gunpowerdue residue only around sleeves and pant under the normal circumstance, Ray took off his jacket before the murder and wore his clothes backward. After shooting McCay, he put his jacket back on before showing his face to the crowd and used the remaining time before the police arrived to flip his clothes inside out, and washed away any remaining gunpowder on his hands and face. He also disposed of the ball by removing the air and hiding them among the souvernirs on the table at the party. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The victim dying message refers to sushi shop's jargon: his right hand for a way people eat sushi, while his left hand at his belt points to "band", "band" refers to number 8, the same number of Ray's shirt. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The evidence for his guilt is the gunpowder on his shoes after firing the revolver. Although the clothes that he wore when committing the crime with gunpowder are washed off by the staffs, the same cannot be said for his shoes. Because Ray was highly confident in his plan, he forgot to wash his shoes after the crime. Once the police discover the gunpowder residue on them, it will be the most decisive evidence that he was the one who committed the murder. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hearing Conan's deduction, Ray decides to go polish his shoes to "remove the last trace of evidence connecting him to the crime", but is kicked by Conan his ball as the latter claims that "what he needs to polish away aren't his shoes". Because Ray is unable to catch his ball and because of his signal of drug withdrawing symptom such as yawning and joint pain, Conan concludes that he is indeed addicted to heroin like the what McCay's tabloid had said. However, Ray corrects his claim and reveals that he got addicted to the drug '''after''' the tabloid case was setteld in the court. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Motive==== | ||
| + | Ray's motive in committing the crime was '''revenge''', as McCay's tabloid falsely accusing being a drug addict was responsible for his wife death due to the stress from the mass media. In order to lure McCay out, Ray decided to become addicted to heroin and marijuana for real, but ultimately, it was also a way for him to cope up with the pain of losing his wife. Conan, though saddened by his hero's revelation, confronts and comforts him that even though he is facing the darkest time of his life, drugs and murder are foul play without any excuse, deserving a red card for a loser. Realizing the error of his way, Ray claims that it's now the time for him to leave the field, for both his beloved wife and his beloved fan, and goes to the police to turn himself in. | ||

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.

Trivia
- In this case, there is a character named Ray Curtis, a professional soccer player. He got his name of a popular detective named Rey Curtis from the Law & Order series. The only difference is in their first names where is "e" exchanged for "a". Conan is also his big fan.
- Two of the famous people whom Kogoro mentioned was Miho Komatsu and Mai Kuraki, these singers who does some of the opening and closing theme songs for the show.
- TWO-MIX makes a cameo appearance for the first time ever since they were kidnapped. However, their character designs are different in this case.
- Miho Komatsu and Mai Kuraki appear in this episode.
- When Kazuha asked about their numbers for their merchandise, Ray Curtis's shirts, Mike Norwood's jerseys, and Ricardo Barreira's boxing gloves, all three of the detectives answered her, Conan (Soccer), Heiji (Baseball), and Kogoro (Boxing) respectively.
- This is the first case that Conan actually talks to Inspector Goro Otaki.
- This is the first case that Heiji notices that Conan is acting differently than his usual deductive self, and seems to be holding back.
- Although Conan may have had one of his teachers be the culprit in Ski Lodge Murder Case, however he was more disturbed by how it affected Ran, rather than himself. In this case, the culprit is his idol, and it is the first time the culprit is Conan's idol.
- This case did seem to be a reversal of And Then There Were No Mermaids in regards to Conan and Heiji on deducing the culprit, however this time Conan is in denial. However this is the case that Hattori stated what Conan told him in the prior case. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains. however improbable, must be the truth."
