A preliminary investigation found the fingerprint which matches the Kogoro's, and with other evidence purportedly located inside Kogoro's computer, Kogoro is arrested. After a hopeless search for a lawyer who is willing to represent Kogoro in the trial, Ran, Eri, and Conan encountered a freelance lawyer, Kyoko Tachibana, who offered to represent Kogoro in the case.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Attorney-General believes that the evidence incriminating Kogoro is sufficient to build the case, and Iwai Sayoko, the Attorney-General, instructed Kusakabe Makoto to prosecute Kogoro. At the same time, the police investigation of the case is ongoing, and it was discovered that the gas valve and pressurized cooker can be connected to the internet (Internet of Things (IoT)) and that the two was remotely accessed via Nor (resembling Tor) through Kogoro's device to cause the explosion. On the day of the conference, people are experiencing strange cases of IoT devices malfunctioning, causing electrical short circuit and fire around Tokyo. At that time, Kogoro was being held in Tokyo Penitentiary, which means Kogoro could not have been the culprit in the bombing and the IoT attack, and the case against him was dropped.

Resolution
The true culprit is Makoto Kusakabe. His goal was to dishonor the Public Security Police by making Edge of Ocean explode a few days before the international summit. His mobile was to avenge the death of Fumikazu Haba, who was a friend and assistant, who worked for him and was unjustly sent to jail by the PSB before committing suicide in his prison cell.
Amuro reveals to Kusakabe that he made a deal with Haba when he was prosecuted: the PSB would declare Haba dead, and in exchange didn't send him to prison and made him an informant for the police. Haibara and the Professor film Haba in Agasa's house and show the video to Kusakabe.
