 {{main|Akai's fake death technique}}
-Bourbon has now all the pieces to realise what the truth is. He explains to Vermouth the trick behind Kusuda and Akai's body switch and how he could have faked his death with help from Kir. He later explains the same to [[Subaru Okiya]], as he is really convinced that Subaru is just a disguise under which Akai is hiding, albeit he starts seeming to be completely wrong about his theories.

Akai manages to fool Bourbon, despite he was right about Akai's fake death, with a plan which Conan came up with. He also hands the gun Kusuda used to kill himself with over to the [[Public Security Bureau|secret police]] for further investigation.</spoiler>

 {{main|Akai's fake death technique}}
-To fake his death and save Kir, Akai switched his place with Kusuda's corpse from when he comitted suicide back then. Kusuda's fingerprints on Conan's phone (from the time he made him pick it up) matched, of course, his own fingerprints from the hand that was found in Akai's car. However, this was thought to be Akai's hand, so Jodie compared it with the fingerprints on the cellphone. Shuichi didn't leave his prints on the phone actually as his fingertips were laced with glue.

-Conan found out that Eisuke had heard someone in the Haido Hospital dialling the boss of the Black Organization's e-mail adress, so he assumed that there was someone from the organization infiltrating the hospital in order to look for Kir, who was under the FBI's custody. Conan shared this intelligence with the FBI members, and according to a nurse's testimony, he was able to deduce that the one who infiltrated the hospital had entered between the 18th of December and the 21st. One of these patients was Rikumichi Kusuda, along with Chuugo Nishiya and Choutarou Shinki.

One of these patients was Rikumichi Kusuda, along with Chuugo Nishiya and Choutarou Shinki. Conan decided to face the three suspects directly so that he wasn't suspected. Rikumichi claimed to have cervical spine sprain, so he pretended to have a pain in the neck when talking to Conan. He had some empty cans of coffee in his room, which were dropped and later picked up by Conan. Rikumichi told him to leave his room. Along with Akai, Conan was able to deduce that Rikumichi Kusuda was the spy from the organization, due to the fact the other two men were in fact innocent, also adding to the fact that he was faking his supposed disease the whole time.

+Rikumichi headed to the nurse station to find out whether Rena Mizunashi was in the hospital or not, and he noticed that [[Ishida]], the nurse who had found him there, was not a real nurse at all. He confronted her, but the FBI appeared there to capture him. Unfortunately, he showed them a bomb he had strapped to his neck, so the only chance they had was to let him escape to prevent him from blowing up the hospital floor. He read into the FBI's plan and fled in his car, so Akai was sent to follow him in his car. He couldn't stop Rikumichi from contacting the organization because he had his cellphone with him, but Conan outran Kusuda's plan and put his mobile phone in water to damage it. Akai reached Kusuda's car, who tried to shoot him, but failed. He ended up comitting suicide with his gun inside his car. However, the FBI was now fearing that the rest of the organization members were going to the hospital soon, guided by some reports that Kusuda could have been sending them.

-When [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] goes to the Haido Hospital to check on his wife's condition, Bourbon appears and tells Kogoro he is looking for a friend of his who happened to be in the hospital. He says that the friend's name is Rikumichi Kusuda. Conan hears this and gets surprised and a bit scared, as he remembers how Kusuda died. Bourbon asks Conan if he knows Kusuda, though Conan says he has no idea who it is. Bourbon demonstrates that Conan might be lying about not knowing him. Nevertheless, Kogoro says Conan is just a child and he might not be lying.

Bourbon noticed these were high velocity blood splatters and a gun shot.

[[James Black|James]] revealed that Kusuda was hiding an infrared thermographer, so they expected the rest of the organization members to use one as well. Later, James received some flowers which were sent via mail by Rikumichi Kusuda. They noticed this was obviously the organization, but apart from the flower, there was a bomb inside the flowerpot. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] managed to get rid of the bomb in time. However, many hospital patients started receiving gifts from Kusuda as well. [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] supposed that the organization got the names from the pictures Kusuda was taking when the FBI attempted to capture him at the nurse station. The bombs were just part of a plan which allowed the black organization to get Kir's location though.
