In the middle of Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri's conversation in the shark area at the Beika Aquarium, Shinichi spots people gathered. Sensing that something is not right, Ran goes back to the entrance of the aquarium following Shinichi’s words, while he comes there and witnesses a person die due to a fatal stab wound to the heart.
 +

Ran comes with an employee of the aquarium, whom Shinichi tells to call the police, seal the exit, and not let anyone touch the corpse. Megure and his subordinates arrive at the scene, where Shinichi analyzes how there was no scream from the victim when he was stabbed. The kid also reveals how he got some interesting information regarding the victim:

 +
* He took the victim’s phone and called a random number, which got him the identity of the victim (Kunihiro Shumoto), and where he works. Everyone gets surprised by how the one Shinichi called simply gave the boy the information.
 +
* Based on the receipt inside the wallet, which has a cup of tea, a cup of coffee, and a dolphin keychain, Shinichi knew that Shumoto was taking his girlfriend along. He also got the approximate body scale of the woman based on the perfume scent in Shumoto’s right shoulder.
 +

And finally, with some tricks, he narrows the suspects down to three and has them interrogated by Megure.

He noticed that it was strange for Naho Ojiro to take a clip vertically, since it would be hard to film long fish, like sharks, in their entirety. Moreover, no one seemed to avoid walking into the camera frame, as if they had not noticed the camera. This is because Naho hid the phone on her boyfriend's white cap without him noticing.

The evidence is the blood on her hand covered by her glove. While she used a plastic bag to prevent blood splatter when stabbing the body with the knife, the bag did not block all of the blood, and some of it had seeped onto Naho's glove. So, she had to reverse her gloves inside-out, but this changed the color of the gloves. Shinichi noticed this color change after seeing the photo that Naho took with her boyfriend.
