  Show spoilers »

Conan confronts the elevator lady Ryoko and exposes her as the fifth member of the robber group.

• As the remaining members were busy chasing after the Detective Boys on the upper floor, only she who was "confined" at the security room could've activate the escalator to obstruct their escape.

• Ryoko's role in the robbery is to get employed in various department stores as an elevator lady in order to gather information and plan out the robbery, and by pretending to be one of the hostages no one would ever suspect her of being involved with the crime.

Unknown to Conan, Ryoko is not just a normal member of the robber group but is actually the leader of the gang.
