Agasa explains the culprit circumvented the locked door by using voicemail, a cassette tape, and a chess piece. Conan appears from behind the Professor to lead a demonstration. He begins by unraveling the cassette's tape to create a large loop that stretches out of the container. Then, the cassette is inserted into the landline phone with the large loop left outside of the phone. Conan then pulls on the loop until he is outside of the room before passing the key-ring through the loop. Leaving the key outside, the boy returns to the landline with the remaining length of the loop. He approaches the position of the notebook and positions three chess pawns in a triangle formation, balancing the notebook atop the three. Finally, he passes the tip of the loop around the pawn closest to the landline and concludes his contraption. Ultimately, the contraption is designed to pull the loop of cassette tape into the landline by recording a voicemail. In doing so, the key is pulled through the locked door and collides with the chess pawns, toppling the three pieces and leaving the key stuck under the notebook.<br> | Agasa explains the culprit circumvented the locked door by using voicemail, a cassette tape, and a chess piece.

Murdered Professor Case
File 181 - Why...
The suspects grow restless of the stalled investigation and begin heading for the exit. Suddenly, Professor Agasa's voice booms, demanding the three remain. Even Agasa himself is taken aback, twirling around to ask what Conan is doing with his bowtie. The boy reveals he has solved the case and intends to use Agasa as his deductive conduit.
Sango congratulates Agasa on his brilliant deduction, though refuses to hand over the requested floppy disk as it is classified as investigative evidence. Before Conan can leave, he is stopped by a teary-eyed Haibara. She asks why he did not save her sister, Akemi, who operated under the alias "Masami Hirota" during her missions for the Black Organization.[1] The girl breaks down in front of Conan, who can only stand there silently while thinking on both his past regrets and the authenticity of Haibara's emotions.
One week later, the police return the floppy disk to the Agasa residence. Haibara inserts the disk onto Agasa's desktop, explaining that all Black Organization files are password encrypted, thus allowing for the contents of the disk to remain untampered by police investigation. She adds that not only does the disk contain data on APTX4869 but also contains critical information about the identities of several Black Organization members as well as sponsors of the pharmaceutical research.
Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka drive through the streets of town while discussing Haibara's whereabouts. Gin remains confident about their chances of locating her and remains unconcerned about their floppy landing in the hands of the police, hinting towards a special property of the disk.
Back at the Agasa residence, Haibara, Conan, and Agasa stare in shock at the rapidly corrupting computer screen. Haibara infers that it must be the Night Baron Computer Virus that activates whenever an Organization's disk is accessed on a non-approved hardware.[2] With the floppy's data completely wiped, Haibara remarks that she will have to stick around for the long-run.
