As the last pieces of the puzzle got together, Conan and Takagi found the truth. Takagi first calls Megure telling him Daiki Nishiyama's alibi fell apart at the same time the suspect was in interrogation room. This was how the criminal fabricated his alibi. First, he made his painting a week earlier from the prior case but the painting wasn't enough to prove an alibi so he decided to come to the scene yesterday use the kids as models so the alibi would be solidified. He just added the kids on top of the one-week-old painting but there was something that shouldn't have been there: the tree that was cut down last week and the barricade tape that surrounded it, which can be visible on the painting. He then returned to the station and vandalized the crossing gate to delay the train.

Vandalism

Location: Okuho Lake Station

Time: 1:17 PM

Culprit: Daiki Nishiyama

He vandalized the crossing gate by blocking it with rocks.

He waited for the sign to change since it changes when the train is supposed to depart even if it hasn't and boarded the train making people suspect he took the train at 2:02 PM which would make sense that he couldn't have killed Seiho. Because he boarded the 1:17 PM train, he was able to take the express train from Aohata Station at 1:55 PM which would leave him just enough time to commit his crime. He then struck Seiho with the bust and killed him. Obliged to confess, he tells it wasn't his fault since he made people pay in exchange for selecting them as winners and Daiki couldn't afford it and always lost. Megure then tells Daiki even if he was passionate for painting and to make children happy, he betrayed the children that modeled for him. He deceived his audience and used them to commit a murder. Nishiyama then regrets his actions and starts to cry.

Aftermath

To award the Detective Boys, Takagi bought food for them but Ayumi and Mitsuhiko went jealous after Takagi didn't buy ice cream for them so he came back to buy some at the station. Unfortunately for him, he missed the train. Later, Conan laughs saying Japan has the world's most punctual trains at hte same time Ayumi and Mitsuhiko asked where their ice creams had disappeared.

Trivia

One of the police cars in the parking of the victim's studio is a Toyota HiAce Fifth generation 2014. It has the same license plate has two police cars in Mystery of the Burning Tent and The Job Request from Inspector Megure.
The busts in Seiho's workshop are digitized pictures. One of the busts represents French playwright Molière.
The surnames of the characters are based on the different cardinal positions on Earth: Kengo Higashio (東尾 where the 東 intends to mean East - Higashi), Kinuko and Seiho Kitasono (北園 where the 北 intends to mean North - Kita), Daiki Nishiyama (西山 where the 西 intends to mean West - Nishi) and Shizu Minamida (南田 where the 南 intends to mean South - Minami).
A slight production mistake occur in the episode when, in the scene Takagi talks to Megure in the woods, we can notice that the background had been cut.
