Conan investigates further and finally confronts with the culprit. Conan finally solves the case and confronts Ray Curtis. He first explains how Ray managed to switch on the light. He points out that the room that Ray switched on the light was right below the victim's room. He then kicks the soccer ball at the floor which the victim's room was on and the ball then hits the broom that is set up such that the cabinet door is supported by it. After the ball hits the mop, the cabinet door will fall and hit the switch, thus the light will switch on. Ray Curtis then asks for proof and pointed out that the police found no gunpowder on him and that even if the find that he had ask to wash his previous set of clothes it could be just because he sweats too much. Conan then asks about his shoes. He deduced that Ray had not taken off his shoes while committing the murder. The culprit, Ray Curtis reveals that the victim created false rumors about him and destroyed his life. Heiji later cheers Conan up while Ran and Kazuha mention how they look like brothers.

Trivia

• In this case appeared a character named Ray Curtis, professional soccer player. Maybe he got it's name of a popular detective named Rey Curtis from Law & Order series. The only difference is in first name where is "e" exchanged for "a". Conan is also his big fan.
