Heiji reveals that the videos on the cell phones are the ones that were originally from the movie they were filming 8 years ago. When they first met Takashi and Kyoko today, Takashi had a beard and different pants and Kyoko was wearing makeup and her hair style was a bit different than what was seen in the two videos. Also if you zoom in, you can see an E on Kyoko's shirt that is not present on her corpse.

Conan reveals that the way the killer knew the movie subtitle was that they used a toilet paper roll to block out the light and make the words on the paper visible through the envelope. As for Takashi's body, it was placed on the missing trolley cart and hidden in the back portion of the dresser where parts of the drawers had been removed to create a cavity on the inside. This was the same trick that Joji had used for his disappearing act 8 years ago. The drawers had become stuck in place when the crew had moved the dresser to look for him. However it was a trick that he couldn't do alone.

The culprit is Ria Kawabata. She helped Joji perform the trick but did not realize he had become stuck. His death was an unfortunate accident. A while later Takashi found messages from Joji inside the dresser where he had scratched in blood that he blamed Ria for his death. Takashi then began to blackmail Ria, which is why she killed him. Kyoko was killed because she realized that the video used for Takashi's death was the one from 8 years ago.

On the way home, Heiji attempts to confess to Kazuha but a zombie extra popped out and scared them.
