The culprit is Masaya Amamori. First, at 7:25 he left the backyard saying he was going for a bit of coal he had already prepared the fishing line and pole you'd hid beforehand and carried out his trick before innocently going back to the party and he employed the newspaper sheets used for the stick to carry the coal. Judging by the length of the wire, the wire remained hooked up for ten minutes. In other words, they heard the gunshot at 7:35 which means the culprit left the party during the ten minute time frame from 7:25. He is the only one that could have done it.

Masaya confesses and reveals none of them knew the real Ryuichiro Kanazawa, that he's certain of that, and revealing the one who designed the Shanghai Museum of Modern Art was actually Masaya Amamori. Then one day, Masaya and Ryuichiro have an arguement about the design and Ryuichiro said, "Are you saying that I stole your design? Don't be so foolish, do you have any proof?" Then Masaya said, "I have always respected you, master!" But then, Ryuichiro said "I will only said this: You do not realize your current position, the design has won the eye of the public thanks to me and my name, if you want to stay here, be very careful about what you say." Then he walked out. At that moment, he swore to himself that he wouldn't allow him to attend the prize ceremony. And reveals that he was the stalker correspond with him.
