Conan stuns Kogoro and declares that Etsuko Furukawa did it. During the afternoon, she entered Katsue's room using a ladder, approached her, and shot her with a silenced pistol. It is then revealed that the television was used to create the gunshot noise everyone had heard; Etsuko turned on the television at the exact moment that there was a gunshot in the TV drama that her company had produced.

Etsuko confesses and reveals Katsue knew she was having trouble with debts for her TV Series Producing company and refused to give her even one yen, yet would pay off Koji's gambling debt no matter the cost.
