Shiratori reveals his deductions and explains that '''Nami Kasakura''' is the culprit and that she tried to use him and the children as witnesses to make her alibi stronger. He says that Kasakura drugged him with sleeping pills and placed her tuque (her white, handknitted cap) on him, to create her alibi by having Shiratori; she completed it by putting her cellphone on his empty drink cup, then using the just killed victim's cellphone to call to it and create the illusion that the victim himself was calling her.

Shiratori reveals his deductions and explains that '''Nami Kasakura''' is the culprit and that she tried to use him and the children as witnesses as an alibi. He says that Kasakura drugged him with sleeping pills and placed her tuque (her white, handknitted cap) on him, to create her alibi by having Shiratori "impersonate" her; she completed it by putting her cellphone on his empty drink cup, then using the just killed victim's cellphone to call to it and create the illusion that the victim himself was calling her, whih would be easy due to the dark environment of the theater. The kids also mention how Kasakura didn't know about one of the most famous moments of the movie, proving that she had gone out at some point.
  
Takagi arrives at the department carrying a trash bag, and shows them Shiratori's drink.

Kasakura confesses and reveals that Soumei had both been cheating on her and swindling her of money for the past two years, so she killed him in vengeance. The breaking point was him giving her mother's ring to another woman as an engagement one, when he had told Kasakura that he'd just pawned it and eventually would get it back. When Megure says Kasakura could have easily denounced Soumei for theft, she replies that she wanted to kill him for making her waste seven years of her life. Shiratori is genuinely saddened that the girl of his past has become a criminal, and Kasakura bitterly tells him that not only she can't remember ever meeting him, but that women's hearts change like the weather.
  
To try cheering Shiratori up, Ayumi offers him some paper folded sakuras that she had made earlier - and repeats the same thing the girl in Shiratori's past days.

Then Kobayashi arrives to the scene, having been told by Megure that the children are there; Shiratori is starstruck when he ''actually'' sees her, realises how much she looks like his "girl of destiny", and his suspicions are confirmed: she ''actually'' is the girl.

Case

Situation

Part 1

At the theatres, the Detective Boys run into Shiratori who is depressed because Sato's affection is definitely being directed at Takagi. Shiratori explains to the kids the actual reason behind his love for Sato: he believes that he is bound to her because of an encounter he had with her in the past. He explains that when he was a little boy, once he was in a bookstore and walked into Sato as a young girl, who stood up to two thieves by herself; Shiratori helped her stop the thieves and in return received from her a drink with paper folded sakura. That meeting is what made him desire to become a policeman instead of a lawyer.

Conan listens to this, and questions whether that girl was actually Sato as their personalities differ greatly. Not to mention, even when Shiratori is completely sure that Sato is the girl from his past, in reality he didn't know her name; he's mostly going by the physical similarity and their admiration for the police.

During the movie, Shiratori runs into a woman named Nami Kasakura... who offers him a drink with paper folded sakuras, just like the girl from the past, which causes Shiratori to consider the possibility she was the girl instead of Sato. After the movie, Kasakura tells Shiratori she is being stalked and asks him to investigate. She adds that she asked her boyfriend Yoshirou to stay over at her place to help her... but when they go inside her apartment, they find Yoshirou dead.
