Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan heads to the tree where Red shirt was hanged and asks Madonna to answer some questions for him. How she was able to get an alibi for Uranari's murder was by drugging Kiyo, who was sleeping with her, and then she snuck out at midnight and killed Uranari. She freaked out when she saw the cat and kicked it, causing it to have grave injuries. She repeated the sleeping pills trick for Red shirt's murder, and was able to hang him by pulling the corpse up. She was able to do so because it was revealed earlier by Chiba and Takagi that she was actually a skilled martial artist. Why the rope didn't leave any marks was because she used a horseshoe-shaped ice-block on the branch and pulled the rope on it. The proof is that the branch was pretty damp.

She confesses and reveals that a few years ago, while she was hanging out with her sister, her sister bumped into two men who were drunk caused her to fall and hit her head on the pavement. Although her injury didn't seem serious at first, it eventually caused her to have internal bleeding and she died soon after. She decided to seek revenge on those people remembering that they were searching for a Madonna and killed them, even though she knew it wasn't entirely their fault that her sister had died. She then surrenders herself when the police arrives.
