Resolution

Evidence

• Conan points out that with the way Sanada had kicked the soccer ball there is no way for the ball to have hit Kou.
• Fukazawa's glasses are damaged.

Conclusion

Shingo Fukazawa is actually responsible for the soccer ball hitting Kou. Conan, disguising his voice as Kogoro, called the manager of the Nishishiba Park and had him check the video footage. In the video footage, Sanada's soccer ball hits Fukazawa in the face, knocking off his glasses. Angry, Fukazawa then picked up the ball and threw it, accidentally hitting Kou and causing the accident.

Fukazawa later apologizes to both Kou and Sanada, and Sanada in turn apologizes to Fukazawa.

Motive

Fukazawa was angry the ball hit him. Sanada felt responsible so Fukazawa didn't bother telling the truth.

Trivia

• This episode was written by movie 16's scripwriter, Kazunari Kouchi, as a follow-up to movie 16. The episode takes place after movie 16.
