	Conan and Ai refuse to participate for obvious reasons, fearing they will be exposed by the machine. Kogoro forces Conan to sit down and have his photo taken and Mitsuhiko and Genta pressure Ai to sit down as well.

	Sawaguchi's phone rings and she tells her guests to follow her to the 75th floor where everything is being prepared for the grand opening party of the towers. As they go to the elevator, Sawaguchi accidentally treads on Kogoro's toes and apologises, embarassed. Hara jokes it isn't a surprise that Sawaguchi is clumsy, she was born in the Chinese year of the Boar after all. Sawaguchi gets everyone into the VIP elevator which instantly accesses any floor of the building. She explains that the VIP elevator can only be entered on this floor and the 66th floor where there is a concert hall. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko admire the view as the elevator takes them up and say it feels like going straight to heaven. The reception room on the 75th floor is in a complete mess while everything is being set up for the party. Mio Tokiwa comes to join her guests as they get out of the elevator and introduces them to some other VIP guests: Hosui Kisaragi, a painter who specialises in the traditional Japanese ways of painting, Iwamatsu Oki, a council member in Nishitamashi who supported the building of the towers and Hidehiko Kazama, the architect who designed the buildings. Kazama explains that he studied under Teiji Moriya, which instantly alarms Conan and Kogoro but Kazama assures them that he doesn't plan on blowing his creations up at all. Conan points out Moriya wouldn't have approved of the towers because they are assymetrical. Kazama says this was intentional. One side of the tower they are in right now offers a perfect view of Mount Fuji, on the other side you can see tower B which is a commercial building with a hotel on the top floors. The hotel has a rooftop pool with a retractable roof.

	Kisaragi concedes and confesses: he committed all three murders for the sake of Mount Fuji. For ten years, he always climbed a hill just outside of Nishitama City to paint the mountain. When old age caught up with him, he built a house on top of the hill to keep enjoying his favourite perspective of Mount Fuji when he painted, a view that was ruined by the Twin Towers which split the mountain in half, thus he murdered Mio and planned to murder Hara in vengeance for their involvement in constructing the towers, and Oki for approving the towers' construction plan. The broken sake cup was a reference to his now spoiled view of Mount Fuji. He left an unbroken sake cup at the third crime scene because the serial cases had already ended, and that Mio's body provided the same symbolism as she was hung in front of his painting, dividing the mountain the same way.

	With all of his crimes exposed, Kisaragi tries to commit suicide by poison, which he originally intended to do so after he had succeeded in his goal, but is tranquilized by Conan with his watch, stating that as a detective he cannot allow Kisaragi to commit suicide as he must pay for his own sin.

	Ai, who listened to Conan's deduction, asks when Conan became suspicious of Kisaragi.
