It turns out that the suspicious man, Kensaku Kitahara, came to visit his newly wedded daughter's household. He mean to visit room 402 in building K, but mistakenly trying to get into room 402 in building A, which is Shida's. He only realized his mistake after he saw the door plate, but Mamoru saw him. He threathen Mamoru because he afraid Mamoru will tell his daughter and her husband about his mistake. He use mask because he has a bit cold, and use sunglasses to hide his eyebrow that is shaved off when he went to get a haircut.

Megure later received a phone call. The forensics found the pipe with Mistumoto's bood and hair with Hosaka's fingerprint on it. They also found the knife with Hosaka's blood with Shida's fingerprint on it. Conan, through Kogoro, is sure that they will also found the bag of poison used to murder Shida with Mitsumoto's fingerprint on it. Which means, Takeshi Mistumoto was killed by Yorimitsu Hosaka, Yorimitsu Hosaka was killed by Yasuho Shida, and Yasuho Shida was killed by Takeshi Mitsumoto.

Conan advices that police and detectives should not read too deeply into situations and head in the wrong direction, also not to assume people unrelated to a case as suspects.
