After gathering the evidence, Conan gathers Kogoro, the police and Takahata and tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal his deductions.

Conan reveals that Kyoko Takahata called Soejima to her home and had prepared the alcohol and shotgun to tempt Soejima, who is a recovering alcoholic. As evidence, Conan reveals that a piece of her nail was found in Soejima's house and that she was searching for his cellphone which evidenced that she called him to her place.

Takahata confesses and reveals that she killed Soejima because she was sure that he caused the death of her beloved sister. Conan reveals that a message from her sister's phone reveals she died of an illness and that she loved Soejima very much, and that she asked Soejima to promise her to go and apologized to her beloved sister when he become a better person (which he tried to). Takahata has a breakdown over said revelation.
