Conan investigates the scene and realizes that it was a murder made to look like a suicide. Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the murderer to be Eeichiro Kondo, Hirais co-worker. Conan explains that Kondo was the one who they saw jump off the observation deck and reveals that when Kondo jumped, he landed on a tree below the cliff where he then proceeded to push the unconscious Hirai off the tree. As evidence Conan reveals that the tree had a mejiro's nest and that a piece of the nest was found on Hirai. To incriminate Kondo, Conan explains that Kondo's footprint from his mountaineering boots was found on the tree. Kondo confesses and reveals that Hirai was blackmailing him after he accidentally caused the death of a co-worker.
