	Inspector [[Sango Yokomizo]] of the Shizuoka prefectural police arrives with his team. An officer informs Sango that prior to his death, Kamoshita had called up female employees in the inn, telling them, “if you remember about twenty million yen, come to my room, or I will reveal everything.” Kogoro takes the opportunity to show the inspector the photo left on the victim’s phone, leading Sango to announce the killer as a woman with a mole on her chest. Despite Conan and Ran’s best efforts to lead Kazuki away, the boy still hears the inspector’s words.

	Sango speculates the culprit took the photo to create an alibi for themselves, but Conan disagrees. The woman used both hands to strangle the victim, so the photographer had to be Kamoshita. In addition, if the culprit had taken it, she would have covered herself so the photo wouldn’t reveal her gender. The men then look through the phone’s history, indicating Kamoshita had called someone ten minutes before his death. They call the number. A man named Izumiya, manager of the magazine “Hot,” picks up and informs the inspector of how Kamoshita would regularly drop the magazine big scoops. In this case, Kamoshita claimed he found Kazuki’s mother, and he would soon send a picture of her. The journalist intended to write about how a woman named “Atsuko” had blackmailed Kazuki’s agency; allegedly, she threatened to reveal that Kazuki’s father is a murderer on the loose if they refused to send her twenty million yen. Kazuki’s agency sent her the money when she revealed the name of the convent where she had left Kazuki and identified Kazuki’s birthmark. Because she had contacted the agency by email, her face and voice remain unknown. <br> [[File:CH402 ScaredMen.png\|thumb\|right\|150px\|Conan observes two grown men watch Kazuki's film in horror.]]		Sango speculates the culprit took the photo to create an alibi for themselves, but Conan disagrees.

	As Sango thanks the man for the information, an officer brings the three female inn workers who lack alibis before him. They are Saegusa, Kusano, and Betsusho. Sango Yokomizo informs the employees that the culprit has a mole on her chest. Saegusa indignantly asks if he wants her to strip in front of him, embarrassing Mitsu. Sango states they’ll bring a female officer to search them, but Betsuho boldly exposes her chest, showing she doesn’t have a mole. Seeing their colleague’s actions, Saegusa and Kusano soon follow suit—even amongst the lecherous stares of Kogoro Mouri. The women ask to be released so they can finish their jobs.

	Conan notices that before he died, Kamoshita rented out one of Kazuki’s horror movies. Kogoro and Sango pop the VHS tape into the player and watch the film for evidence but are terrified by the jump scares. Meanwhile, Ran and Kazuki wander through the corridors when suddenly, Kazuki hears the familiar sounds of a knife chopping food on a cutting board, showing that the boy truly does want to reunite with his mother. Back at the crime scene, Conan looks at the spine of the VHS cover and figures most of the case out. A forensics analyst calls Sango over, telling him Kamoshita was bludgeoned on the back of his head, likely knocking him unconscious. The inspector believes the weapon to be the shower head and asks for it to be tested with a luminol reaction. As Conan feels he’s got the case nailed, Ran arrives and tells him about Kazuki’s reaction to the cutting board. Hearing this, Conan confirms Kazuki’s mother is not the killer.

	The protagonist trio, along with [[Heiji Hattori\|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama\|Kazuha]], recount the events of the day over dinner.

Interested, Heiji asks for more details. Kogoro explains that though the methodology of each arson is different, the perpetrator always leaves behind a "charred, red horse doll." Because "Red Horse" is an old police term that refers to an arsonist, Heiji guesses the arsonist is challenging the police. Additionally, because the arsonist burned the houses of unrelated families on the first block of [[Rizen]], the second block of [[Toriya]], and the third block of [[Okuho]], the arsons were likely in cold-blood. Following the pattern, the next victim will be a random house on the fourth block of some ward. Luckily, Kusukawa had told Heiji of suspicious activity at the fourth block of [[Haido]] and had asked him to investigate. With it being their best lead, Heiji wishes to take Kogoro and [[Conan Edogawa\|Conan]] there tomorrow, but [[Ran Mouri\|Ran]] refuses, saying Conan has a field trip.

	The next day, Conan wakes up and informs Ran that Betsusho is the murderer. He notices Kazuki is missing, and Ran tells him he's about to leave as he couldn't find his mother. Conan tells her that Kazuki couldn't have fallen asleep while looking at his mother's chest mole and hearing her cut food, as you can't cook while cradling someone. The nuns at the convent cradled him to their chests, so he assumed that his mother had held him the same way. His mother was instead carrying him on piggyback; thus, his mother must be Tomoka Saegusa as her mole is on the back of her neck. She likely acted coldly to prevent him from realizing she was his mother, as she didn't want to burden him. Ran runs off to inform Kazuki about Conan's theory, but Conan believes the boy already knows, and the crumpled state of the postcards was not from mistreatment but from the boy soaking them with tears.<br>		The next day, Conan wakes up and informs Ran that Betsusho is the murderer.
