=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The Detective Boys and Conan solve the case and show the police that they were wrong about almost everything that happened. The culprit is '''Sakanobu Nekota'''. It was revealed that Atomura was not the robber they saw, but Nekota was actually the one.

* First, Nekota called the moving workers to the 9th floor of his old office and pushed Atomura to his doom. After he had confirmed that the body landed on the truck, he set up the rope used for the escape and had the workers continue the moving.

* Next, he went to rob the jewelry store in disguise, and lured Takagi to the top of the building across the old office. After tying the rope around his waist, he fired the gun to distract Takagi while utilizing the same moment to swing across to his room which he had placed mattresses on the balcony in advance as cushoner. Because Nekota was a former Triathlonist, he had no problem in performing the stated stunts. Additionally, he also threw the bag containing robbed jewelries and spare helmet down on the truck to make the people in the area think that Atomura, who had robbed the jewelry store, fell to his doom due to being chased by the police.

* Because he had to join up with those that discover Atomura's body as fast as possible, he is unable to dispose of the disguises, rope, or the broach that he had kept in the coat's pocket during the robbery.

==== Motive ====
Nekota's company is on its last leg, forcing him to retire employees with decrease in performance with Atomura being among them. Atomura however, threatened to expose about the corruption that had happened in the company, unless Nekota backdown and let him continue until retirement as he wanted to buy a broach his wife wants, but also added that he might requires additional "monetary help" from Nekota post-retirement. Not willing to be blackmailed, Nekota decided to silence Atomura. However, Nekota also feels guity about murdering Atomura, as he had gone through hardship and worked alongside him since the day they founded the company, and decides to keep the broach until the situation die down and gives it to Atomura's wife as the "present from her late husband".

==== Aftermath ====
Takagi asks Sato to check out the same broach inside Nekota's coat, as it was the one he planned to buy for her. However, as Sato inspects the broach she realizes that it's the very same one Yumi wants when she saw it in the jewelry magazine. Overhearing this, Shiratori remembers about an expensive bracelet that he bought for Sato which was worn by Yumi a few days ago, which Sato replies that she let her borrow it as she doesn't feel that expensive jewelries are fitting for a person like her. Elsewhere, Yumi is scheming for another officer to fall for her trick again.</spoiler>
