	Shinichi asserts that '''Satoru Ooba''' murdered Tatsumi. He states that Ooba shot Tatsumi while he kissed Sakurako in front of the elevator. Ooba’s left hand covered Sakurako’s left ear while he used his free right hand to reach for his pistol and call the elevator. He then proceeded to shoot Tatsumi the moment the door opened before quickly returning his gun to his pocket. Megure remarks that the silencer would not be enough to prevent Sakurako from hearing the gunshot. Shinichi replies that by letting Sakurako know that it was 20:30 immediately after their kiss, she would naturally assume that the noise had been the releasing of the confetti—indicating the start of the party.

	Ooba asks why Tatsumi would remain in the elevator despite expressing his wishes to return home. The ~~detective~~ states that Tatsumi was waiting in the elevator for Ooba to bring him the mascot costume since originally, the plan was for Tatsumi to don the costume, not Ooba (thus Tatsumi unfastened his sleeve buttons as he expected to change). Ooba, still defiant, challenges Shinichi to properly explain of the absence of gunpowder residue on his body. Shinichi replies that upon learning that the mascot blinked an abnormal number of times during the party, he realized that something was wrong with the eye of the mascot. After examining the costume, he found a plastic bag containing a glove and four rubber bands in the mascot's eye. Shinichi explains that by wearing the glove and placing the pistol inside the plastic bag (which Ooba closed around his right wrist by using the rubber bands), both the gunpowder residue and the empty bullet shell would remain in the bag. Furthermore, since it was dark, Sakurako would likely not notice anything strange about Ooba’s hands. As for the purpose of giving her the necklace after the kiss, it was to ensure that she would immediately head to the bathroom to try it on, which would give Ooba time to dispose of the pistol and bullet shell. Shinichi concludes by saying that since Ooba must have touched Sakurako’s earrings barehanded, he must have put on the glove afterwards, which logically implies that he left fingerprints on the plastic bag when reaching for the glove.<br>[[File:CH260_PinkPearl.png\|thumb\|left\|250px\|The color of Sakurako's earrings are indiscernible without light.]]		Ooba asks why Tatsumi would remain in the elevator despite expressing his wishes to return home.

	As soon as Shinichi finishes speaking, he is hit by another wave of acute pain. Ooba remains unfazed, and calmly says that other employees also touched the plastic bag. One employee explains that they noticed that the mascot's eye was malfunctioning, and so they opened the contraption and found the plastic bag. After examining it, they concluded that the bag must be an intrinsic part of the mascot, and returned it to its eye. Megure, believing Shinichi's deduction is breaking apart, begins panicking, but the boy manages to carry on. He asks ~~why~~ Ooba knew ~~that~~ Sakurako’s earrings ~~were the color as his present, and~~ Ooba simply replies that it is because he saw their color. As he finishes uttering these words, Ooba becomes aware of the true intent of Shinichi’s question~~, but the mistake has already been made~~. Shinichi reminds everyone that Sakurako had just ~~recently~~ purchased the earrings earlier, and that their encounter at the elevator was the first time they met that day. Given such information, along with the darkness of the room, it was impossible for Ooba to discern the color of Sakurako's earrings unless they were illuminated by the elevator's light. Speechless, Ooba admits to his crime. <br>		As soon as Shinichi finishes speaking, he is hit by another wave of acute pain.

	Inspector [[Juzo Megure\|Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi\|Takagi]] arrive at the crime scene. Takagi reports that Tatsumi's company occupies the twenty-fourth to the thirty-sixth floors of the building, and that the elevator in question can only be used by company employees. In addition, the rugged state of Tatsumi's suit suggests that he met an armed robber. Megure recalls a similar murder he investigated in the exact same building in the early years of his career, where a young man intervened in the investigation and rejected the idea of a robbery. Coincidentally, Shinichi arrives and intervenes in the investigation, rejecting the idea of a robbery. He points out that since non-employees cannot enter the elevator, using it would run the risk of being caught for trespassing.

	At this moment, several company employees, including Ooba and Sakurako, are brought to Megure. He asks if any of them know the time when they last saw Tatsumi. Sakurako fights through her tears and states that it was 20:30 sharp. She explains that she was able to see Ooba’s wristwatch when ~~she~~ touched her earrings when giving her a necklace. Shinichi finds it suspicious that Sakurako could see the wristwatch's dial when it was both in the dark and likely facing away from her he touched her earring. Ooba explains that his wristwatch would light up automatically in the dark, and that Shinichi has wrongfully assumed that he was touching Sakurako’s left earring with his left hand. Instead, he was touched her right earring with his left hand—thus the dial faces inwards. Shinichi accepts his explanation, but points out the action's inconvenience, insinuating that his right hand was occupied. <br>[[File:CH259_ShinichiQuestionsKiss.png\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Shinichi asks Sakurako if she was kissing Ooba.]]		At this moment, several company employees, including Ooba and Sakurako, are brought to Megure.

Upon learning that “her detective friend” is tackling the case, the waitress giggles and tells Ran a true story.

	Ooba and Sakurako fire back at Shinichi, stating their strong alibis. Shinichi presses Sakurako and asks whether they stopped by anywhere, and Sakurako concedes that they did go to the bathroom before heading to the party. However, she argues that they were only briefly separated, and they conversed the entire time. Shinichi disputes her narrative, contending that since the police have found a pistol in the garbage pipe near the bathroom, Ooba could have taken advantage of those minutes to dispose of the weapon. Ooba, seeing that Shinichi is suspecting ~~him and only~~ him, says that the police are free to perform a gunshot residue test on him to see whether he committed the ~~murdered~~. He is thus led away, leaving Sakurako with Shinichi. Once he is out of sight, Shinichi quietly asks Sakurako whether she and Ooba were kissing after their colleagues had departed. He explains that his [[Yukiko Kudo\|mother]] once told him that only after kissing or eating would a woman go to the bathroom to reapply lipstick. She confirms. He proceeds to inquire about how the two kissed, and learns that Sakurako’s back was facing the elevator, ~~that~~ Ooba’s left arm was positioned on her right shoulder and went around her neck such that his hand could reach her left ear. Shinichi finally asks if her earrings were a present from Ooba. Sakurako ~~replies negative~~, saying ~~that~~ she bought them on a whim earlier that day. After obtaining this piece of information, Shinichi becomes certain that Ooba is the culprit, but still lacks a few key pieces of the puzzle. <br>		Ooba and Sakurako fire back at Shinichi, stating their strong alibis.

	Shinichi overhears a couple of company employees mention to Megure that Ooba oversaw the planning of the party, and that the party featured the appearance of the new company mascot, which Ooba wore. Upon hearing this, Shinichi asks whether he can inspect the costume. After observing the intricacies of the costume, everything becomes clear to the ~~detective,~~ and a smirk crosses his face. Suddenly, he is hit with an acute pain in the chest, a clear sign that the antidote is beginning to wearing off.

	At the restaurant, Ran and Shinichi sit at a window seat.

Shinichi, surprised by the accuracy of Ran’s conjecture, has no choice but to laugh awkwardly.

Soon after, Tatsumi's daughter, Sakurako, enters the elevator hall and meets with Ooba. The latter explains that he has received Tatsumi's blessing to marry her, sparking joy in the woman. They share a deep kiss as Tatsumi returns to the floor on the elevator. However, the man is shocked not by the sight of his daughter in Ooba's arms, but by the gun Ooba is pointing at his head.

	Inspector [[Juzo Megure\|Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi\|Takagi]] arrive at the gymnasium and inquire about the approximate time of death. Ran responds "around 14:40" and turns to Araide, the Black Knight, for confirmation, but the Knight strangely remains silent. Takagi asks the forensic analyst about the cause of death, but before the man can respond, a teenager with a [[Wikipedia: Kansai dialect\|Kansai dialect]] correctly answers potassium cyanide—citing Kamata's pink lips and fingernails, and his mouth's almond scent as evidence. Kogoro and Megure grow suspicious of the teenager and asks for an alibi. He points to an uncharacteristically apathetic Conan, who promptly confirms his innocence. Kogoro then says the teenager is bizarrely familiar and Megure asks for him to identify himself. He confidently lifts his hat and proclaims that he is Shinichi Kudo. The police stand bewildered at "Shinichi's" uncanniness, as the boy turns to Ran and Conan explaining that he came to see her show. However, his disguise is instantly foiled by Kazuha who identifies him as Heiji. Under pressure, he ditches his attempt at portraying Shinichi as a separate person from Conan, and resumes cooperating as himself.<br>		Inspector [[Juzo Megure\|Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi\|Takagi]] arrive at the gymnasium and inquire about the approximate time of death.

	Megure begins interrogating Kamata's friends. Kougami had bought the four drinks, Mitani received all four, and Noda received hers and Kamata's. They explain that they are alumni members of Teitan High School, now hospital students, who were involved in the drama club with a yearly tradition of attending the annual play. Kogoro asks why they sent Kougami to carry all four drinks. She replies that Kamata was with her but returned to the seats after seeing the concession worker, Ayako Ninagawa. Heiji states that all four had the opportunity to poison Kamata's ice coffee and are thus suspects. Kougami protests, saying that ~~since~~ she ordered the same drink, meaning if she were the killer, she would have ensured Kamata received the poisoned cup instead of leaving for the bathroom. She also dispels the theory of poisoning both cups by proving that she has fully consumed its contents. Mitani and Noda similarly plead innocence, but Megure cites the labeled caps as an easy means of identifying the right cup to poison. Takagi then finds that Kamata had not used the milk and gum syrup attached to his ice coffee, disproving the theory of poisoned condiments. Ninagawa confesses that she purposefully filled Kamata's cup with cola with the intention of luring Kamata back to the concession stand. She reveals that they were formerly betrothed, and she wanted an opportunity to talk to him about why she annulled their engagement. Hearing her words, Kogoro quietly floats the possibility of a suicide motivated by his fiancé's rejection. Kougami and Noda mention that Kamata had suspiciously been rummaging through his car's dashboard during the drive over, prompting the police to leave and examine his car. <br>[[File:CH256_RealShinichi.png\|thumb\|right\|300px\|Shinichi Kudo revealed.]]		Megure begins interrogating Kamata's friends.

	With the case figured out, Heiji kneels beside Conan to share his deduction, but the boy walks away in indifference. Sonoko looks out the window at the forming rainclouds and bemoans the unfortunate turn of events. She turns to Araide who agrees. Meanwhile, the Black Knight approaches the concession stand and inspects a condiment container. Takagi returns with a bottle of potassium cyanide he found in Kamata's dashboard, giving credence to Kogoro's theory of suicide. Before Megure can declare the death a suicide, the Black Knight emerges from the masses and voices his disagreement, asserting that Kamata's death was a calculated murder. As he slowly steps into the spotlight, his friends and colleagues gradually begin to realize who is behind the mask. The crowd then witnesses Shinichi Kudo dramatically appear before them. Everyone stands in disbelief, including Ran, who turns to look at Conan—her assumption shattered. Conan blankly stares at Shinichi, greatly disapproving of his supposed "true identity's" theatrics.

	Shinichi explains that the culprit did not poison the drink, but rather the ice. They had known Kamata had a habit of eating the ice after finishing his drink. Thus, by inserting a potassium cyanide capsule in an ice cube, Kamata's poisoning would be delayed, and no poison will remain in the cup as it will be consumed in its entirety as an ice cube. Mitani and Noda are absolved due to their limited access to Kamata's cup, and Ninagawa is absolved since she intended for the soda to be returned and could not predict which soda Kamata would receive. Therefore, the culprit must be '''Mai Kougami'''. <br>		Shinichi explains that the culprit did not poison the drink, but rather the ice.

	Kougami had preserved the ice cubes in her coin purse along with pieces of [[Wikipedia: Dry ice\|dry ice]]. When leaving for the bathroom before the play, she flushed the dry ice in the bathroom and discarded the purse in a trash can outside. Kougami applauds Shinichi's deduction but asks how she could have guaranteed Kamata's poisoning if she had not distributed the drinks. Shinichi answers that she had prepared two poisoned ice cubes and contaminated both drinks. By quickly drinking her soda, Kougami managed to consume the liquid before the ice could melt and release poison. Megure interjects, stating there were no traces in Kougami's cup either. The detective states that Kougami had pretended to consume the ice, in doing so, she transferred the poisoned ice cube from her mouth to her hands and then finally into her hood. <br>		Kougami had preserved the ice cubes in her coin purse along with pieces of [[Wikipedia: Dry ice\|dry ice]].

	Shinichi, with Heiji's assistance, flips the ¥10 coin in the air and into Kougami's hood. Heiji pulls the coin out of the hood and shows its [[Wikipedia: Deoxidation\|deoxidation]], a property of potassium cyanide has on bronze corrosion. Megure, astonished, asks how he knew the poison was in her hood.

	Kougami wished to avenge the death of an old cancerous man Kamata was treating. He had purposefully accelerated his death by changing his treatment, all to add quick results to his PhD thesis. Kougami recalls how Kamata had once drunkenly whined about how an eighteen-year-old dumped him despite him being a doctor with mastery over the fate of those he treated. Enraged by his statement, Kougami stole the potassium cyanide from the hospital and planned her murder.		Kougami wished to avenge the death of an old cancerous man Kamata was treating.
