Resolution

Conan figures out who the real murderer is and uses Sonoko to reveal that person to be none other than make-up artist Miki Kitagawa. Conan reveals that the previous murder was a fake perpetrated by Miyasaka, Takayama and Kitagawa. However when Kitagawa came back for Miyasaka, she killed him for real and then proceeded to kill Takayama by pushing him off the cliff. Kitagawa confesses to her crime and reveals that she was an aspiring actress in a show starring Miyasaka and wanted to show her grandmother the performance, but an incident caused by Miyasaka and Takayama cancelled the show and the episode was never broadcast. However, Saeko Akimoto yells at her and says she should have tried harder to make it as an actress and that such a reason was not an excuse for murder. Kitagawa breaks down after hearing her say that.
