Resolution
- Evidence
- Shinichi reveals that picking the 16th hostess in the line is essential to winning the game. The way to win the game is as follows: If your opponent chooses 1 girl, you choose 3. If they choose two, you also choose two. If the opponent chooses only 1, you choose 3. Following this method, Mine was bound to win no matter what.
- Kyoko, as the 16th girl in the line, immediately falls under suspicion. Kyoko explains that her decanter wasn't handed to her until after she was already in line and she didn't see who handed it to her.
- Kogoro is told by Yui that Kazuyo had played a game that uses the same rules once before against Kumi. Mine had given help to Kumi in order to win the game, which forced Kazuyo to drink for a penalty game. Kazuyo collapsed to the floor upon drinking the drink but later recovered.
- Conclusion
Shinichi reveals that the murderer is Kazuyo Andou. Kazuyo had fallen in love with Mine when he taught her about Descartes theories and treated her like a person and not just a hostess. The game Kazuyo played against Kumi before was actually set up by Kazuyo herself, including the penalty drink. She went into the game hoping Mine would side with her, but was dismayed when she realized Mine had fallen for Kumi and helped her instead. Kazuyo, knowing the method to winning the game, slipped a poisoned pill into a decanter and gave the decanter of wine to girl #16, Kyoko, ensuring that Kumi would end up drinking the poison no matter what.
- Motive
- Kazuyo's motive for killing Kumi was because she loved Mine and wanted to protect him, since she knew Mine loved Kumi but that Kumi was only using him to get things.
Episode Resolution: Trapped in the Sixth White Room
Shinichi enters in the password "DE-KA-RU-TE" ("Descartes") and the door opens revealing the antidote syringe lying on the ground. Kogoro goes in to pick it up but the door begins closing on him as he tries to get back to Shinichi and Ran. Unable to get through, Kogoro tosses the syringe to Shinichi and yells at Ran to not die. Shinichi uses the antidote on Ran just in time, however they're both now trapped in the room without Kogoro. A red balloon appears and begins expanding without any signs of stopping.
