Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the murderer to be Eeichirou Kondou, Hirais co-worker. Conan explains that Kondou was the one who they saw jump off the observation deck and reveals that when Kondou jumped, he landed on a tree below the cliff where he then proceeded to push the unconscious Hirai off the tree. As evidence Conan reveals that the tree had a mejiro's nest and that a piece of the nest was found on Hirai. To incriminate Kondou, Conan explains that Kondou's footprint from his mountaineering boots was found on the tree. Kondou confesses and reveals that Hirai was blackmailing him after he accidentally caused the death of a co-worker.
