A man named Shuugo accepted and became her new pager-friend. The two planned to meet each other last year on Christmas Day, but Shuugo made no appearance.

Meanwhile, Ran screams at the sight of a spooky silhouette of an old man with a cane passing stealthily by their room. When everyone rushes over, a huge noise of something heavy falling catches their attention, and they hurry to the grandparents&amp;#039; room. They find Minoru crushed beneath a fallen koto.

Shinichi accepts his explanation, but points out the action&amp;#039;s inconvenience, insinuating that his right hand was occupied. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[File:CH259_ShinichiQuestionsKiss.png|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi asks Sakurako if she was kissing Ooba.]]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

A waitress arrives with desserts, but Ran tells her to hold the order, as she wishes to wait for Shinichi. Upon learning that “her detective friend” is tackling the case, the waitress giggles and tells Ran a true story. Twenty years ago, a [[Yusaku|young man]] was dining with his [[Yukiko|girlfriend]] at Ran&#039;s exact table, when a murder took place in the restaurant. The man rushed to the crime scene, solved the murder quickly, returned and audibly proposed. The waitress joyfully tells Ran that it might happen again, and for a moment, a blushing Ran believes so as well, but soon reason tells her to abandon this line of thought.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Back in the restaurant, Ran continues to wonder what Shinichi wanted to tell her.

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|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. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ooba and Sakurako fire back at Shinichi, stating their strong alibis.

Haibara admits she was merely reciting a scenario, but states that she did so to prove a point: if Conan tells Ran about his identity, and if the Black Organization learns the truth, [[&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Ran Mouri|&lt;/ins&gt;Ran]] would be added to their list of targets. She provides three options to remedy the situation. First, conceal the truth and continue living with Ran despite its social consequences. Second, tell Ran the truth and pray the Organization forever remains ignorant. And third... &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Kougami had bought the four drinks, Mitani received all four, and Noda received hers and Kamata&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;s rejection. Kougami and Noda mention that Kamata had suspiciously been rummaging through his car&amp;#039;s dashboard during the drive over, prompting the police to leave and examine his car. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[File:CH256_RealShinichi.png|thumb|right|300px|Shinichi Kudo revealed.]]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Megure begins interrogating Kamata&amp;#039;s friends.

However, it is instead Conan who appears before the table, holding out Shinichi&#039;s credit card. He explains that Shinichi had received an emergency call about the difficult case he is trying to solve, forcing him to leave immediately. Ran solemnly listens to Conan&#039;s words, but eventually expresses her distress about constantly being abandoned. Conan desperately &quot;relays&quot; a message that swears his eventual return and urges Ran to wait for him. Ran finds levity in her sea of misery and assures Conan that Shinichi&#039;s actions are not his fault. She brightens the mood by offering to buy him dessert on Shinichi&#039;s dime, he accepts. While gobbling down dessert after dessert, Ran rhetorically questions what Shinichi wanted to say to her. Conan internally reflects on how he intended to confess his feelings to her—identically to how his father, Yusaku, had done so to his mother, [[Yukiko]], twenty years ago.

Kougami had bought the four drinks, Mitani received all four, and Noda received hers and Kamata&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;s rejection. Kougami and Noda mention that Kamata had suspiciously been rummaging through his car&amp;#039;s dashboard during the drive over, prompting the police to leave and examine his car. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[File:CH256_RealShinichi.png|thumb|right|300px|Shinichi Kudo revealed.]]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Megure begins interrogating Kamata&amp;#039;s friends.

Kougami had bought the four drinks, Mitani received all four, and Noda received hers and Kamata&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;s rejection. Kougami and Noda mention that Kamata had suspiciously been rummaging through his car&amp;#039;s dashboard during the drive over, prompting the police to leave and examine his car. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[File:CH256_RealShinichi.png|thumb|right|300px|Shinichi Kudo revealed.]]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Megure begins interrogating Kamata&amp;#039;s friends.

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&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;s inconvenience, insinuating that his right hand was occupied. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[File:CH259_ShinichiQuestionsKiss.png|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi asks Sakurako if she was kissing Ooba.]]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;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&amp;#039;s dial when it was both in the dark and likely facing away from her he touched her earring.

When entering the agency, he sees [[Ran]], [[Kogoro]], and a client named Haruna Yuuki listening carefully to a music box. Haruna, the young fine arts student, explains she had difficulties making friends at university, so she sent a message to a random person with her [[Wikipedia: Pager|pager/pocketbell]] asking if they would like to befriend her. A man named Shuugo accepted and became her new pager-friend. The two planned to meet each other last year on Christmas Day, but Shuugo made no appearance. However, Haruna found a bag at their meeting spot containing a music box, with high resale value, and Shuugo&#039;s pager—an act Haruna interpreted as Shuugo ending the relationship with farewell present. Yet, the music box was appraised as poor. Additionally, Haruna began receiving antagonistic pager messages from an unknown person which ultimately motivated her to seek advice from Kogoro. Conan notices that parts of the music box were purposefully altered to play out of tune and suggests the music box holds a secret message from Shuugo. Ran notes that the off-tuned sounds correspond to the lyrics &quot;mo (も),&quot; &quot;de (出),&quot; and &quot;ru (る)&quot; in the song.
