Since Shiratori himself could have accidentally dropped the bottle, he is also a suspect together with his fifteen guests. Upon investigation, Heiji Hattori reveals that a mouse caused the wine bottle to drop. Conan reveals that Kogoro is responsible for the smashed bottle and reveals that the smashed wine was a fake. Sonoko Suzuki had replaced Shiratori's prized wine with a cheaper variant with changed label as a prank. Shiratori's shares the prized wine with his guests and they drink away the night.
Resolution[edit]
Conan talks with Heiji secretly and deduces that he was the one who broke the bottle and not Kogoro. When he noticed the wine is in the wrong cellar, a drunken Kogoro Mouri put it in there, he took the wine but it fell because a japanese mouse, which was behind the wine, startled him by jumping out. During the investigation, Conan noticed that one of Heiji's socks is rolled up. This is because some of the wine splashed onto it when the bottle broke.
- This villa is mentioned also in The Last Wizard of the Century.
- Sonoko claimed to have never been to Karuizawa before, despite her family owning villas in Hawaii, Monaco, Nice, among other places, however not one in this locale unfortunately.
