Using a knocked out Kogoro, Conan declares the housekeeper, Shingo Aihara to be the culprit, and reveals that there is honey in the connecting part of the doorknob of Yamazaki's room. Then, if wasps attack inside, they would normally run out the door but there was a bunch of wasps on the honey-covered doorknob, so President Yamazaki ran in the opposite direction to the window, the rail on the veranda was quite corroded, it had been corroded in advance using sulfuric acid, and reveals he put wasps into the bag attached to the balloon and placed it in the chimney. They were probably gathered after spraying them with ether. To incriminate him, Conan concludes that he found a beekeeper outfit that smelled of ether in the shed, and also reveals that there were three helium tanks in the shed were used to test flights for the balloon with a bag attached in it. And reveals he murdered Yamazaki by:

First, to temporarily keep the balloon inside the chimney, he tied fishing line to it led it to the downstairs kitchen through a small hole in the floor by the fireplace, and tied it to a nail.
He also stuck fishing line to a piece of tape on the bag and led it to the kitchen.
And reveals the call President Yamazaki recieved, was actually from Aihara to get her into the room.
After confirming that she had picked up the receiver, he pulled a thread leading into the kitchen, the tape covering made a pre-made rip in the bag came off and sent wasps flying out.
The balloon blocked the chimney's top, so the wasps flew into the room, the agitated wasps then attacked President Yamazaki. While spraying the insecticide, she headed for the door, but she was unable to open it because it was crawling with wasps.
With no other choice, she ran around the room, broke the window and leapt onto the veranda. she leaned against the rail and aimed the spray at wasps, but the rail broke and she fell over.
After they rushed outside, he quickly returned to the kitchen and undid the other thread, and so the balloon went flying out the chimney, and also reveals that his towel must've used in covering the doorknob in honey and there is the thread he used in his pocket.

Aihara confesses and reveals Yamazaki lied to him that she will make him as the manager of the spa resort, so he tried so hard to endure it and also he wanted to ruin the ground-breaking ceremony of the spa resort tomorrow.
