Ray Curtis asked Otaki if they can go but Otaki refuses. Heiji tells Otaki to let them go because they didn't find anything on them. Heiji asks Ray a favor. He told Ray that someone's waiting for him in the hotel room where he stays. Heiji also told Ray that someone's a huge fan for him to see.

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. 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 reveals that the victim created false rumors about him and destroyed his life. Also Ray's wife left him and committed a suicide. Ray couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly, Conan tells Ray to stop. He tells Ray that even if he is facing a bitter aspect of life, drugs and murder are foul without any excuse, deserve a red card, for a loser. Ray smiled and admits that he was a cheater. He said he was a bad player and lost a game. He also said he must be ejected for his late wife and his big fan like Conan. So now, Ray went downstairs and turned himself in to the police.

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 reveals that the victim, Ed McCay, created false rumors about him and his drug use. These rumors stressed his wife and she committed suicide.
