Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Minoru Furuhashi. He used the projector to make his alibi. First, he asked Yuriko to buy tea for him so she won't be there at the time of the murder. Then, he adjusted the air conditioner so the corpse will move. After that, he starts the mirror illusion. He used mirrors so the light coming from the left window, which where he will hang the victim, will transfer to the right window. In this way, he can hang the corpse and play the movie from the other window. Moreover, he wouldn't need to cut the film and be in the projection room while the shadow appears. After setting that mirror illusion, he went down, killed Seiji, and hanged him in front of the left window while the movie is playing from the other window. Then, he went back to the projection room and removed the mirrors so the light will flash through the left window and since the corpse is blocking the window, a shadow of it will be casted on the theater screen. That way, even when the shadow appeared, he and Yuriko would be in the same room together and becomes his alibi. The evidence is in the camera of Toshiyuki. Toshiyuki captured the scene in which the shadow appeared. From there, they realized that the focus is wrong. That's because when Minoru move the mirror back to the original window, the reflections will cause the blur of the scene. All theater's projection machines fit the screen perfectly. Since they are supposed to fit the screen, it takes a lot of time for him to fix the focus and make it perfect in both way, but no matter how hard he tried, there's no way for it happen. He wasn't able to avoid the shaky part either. Yuriko went to the bathroom because there weren't any mirror piece in the projection room. Minoru admitted his crime. He killed Seiji because he was making troubles in the theater to the point the audience are decreasing. He is soon arrested. The Detective Boys watched the last part of the movie. Akio, the owner, decides not to sell the theater.

Trivia

Movie 10

• Akio Muramatsu reappears in the photo entitled "Keisuke T" on the culprit's laptop in The Private Eyes' Requiem.
• Interesting Note: Conan could tell the kids ALL the ENDLESS things he does with them, that HE HATES, and also let them know he ONLY has FUN, when he is playing Soccer, Solving cases, and THINKING, so HE WILL SEE THE MOVIE HE WANTS... for a change.- In short, the thinking movie, which will be good training for any good Detective.
• Interesting Note: Conan could stick his foot down, "Brainy movie or I leave rather than be bored out of my skull. After all, I did not want to COME anyway.
• Interesting Note: Conan could let them know that I cannot handle anymore Gomera today, now he is off to see my brainy movie.
• Interesting Note: Someone's math is slightly off. Kazunobu Chiba reported to Megure: "According to the old lady at the ticket sales, the only ones in the theatre were these four kids and these four people." Since there are five kids: Conan, Haibara, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko.
• This is the first case that appears in a movie theatre.
• Interesting Note: The Detective Boys parents have not taught their children how to be behave in a movie theatre, or a theatre of any kind. The three children are much worse than cell phones, and people who talk on them in the movie. If I was Conan, I would send as far away from the noisemakers as possible, so if I cannot watch a movie I want to watch, where I cannot hear them as much. really at all.

And they were Yelling.

• Interesting Note: The three Detective Boys were angry at Conan for figuring it out first. He could let the kids know that is because his brain ALWAYS wants and tries to FIGURE out everything, non-stop. The more complicated a puzzle or code is, only makes him all the more ecstatic, and happy.
  • • What makes him happy is to crack through a puzzle, code, trick, and to use his brain all the time. Really that makes a great detective, and the difference between a great detective, and one that is better off asleep, whose major purpose is as a mouthpiece.
    • When is he bored? When he cannot use his brain, and no codes, puzzles, or trick to see through. In short, he may as well go to sleep until a crime by a smart culprit shows up.
    • And 2 hours is his limit of boredom that he can handle.
    • Plus he is always people watching, which helps to figure things out quicker, and to see if a witness or Person of interest is truthful or lying.
