Shuji Tsugawa is the culprit, he is the killer and he hides the corpse above the elevator. Tamada discovered the illegal drugs hidden inside the fake books which means Tsugawa is a drug dealer and that's why Tsugawa killed him to keep him quiet.

Murder
	Location: Beika Library Elevator Victim: Kazuo Tamada Cause of death: Blunt force trauma Culprit: Shuji Tsugawa The victim was put on top of the elevator box, adding unseen weight.

After finishing the case, Conan walked back with the Detective Boys, thinking that should be his final case in Conan's form, as he will be drinking Paikaru afterward and turning back to Shinichi Kudo permanently. However, a second round of Paikaru didn't work for him, and the next day Conan appeared to be hung over in front of the Detective Boys.

Trivia

• The inspector that appears during Megure's questioning of Tsugawa has Takagi's earlier character design but he wasn't voiced by Wataru Takagi; he was voiced by Isshin Chiba who later would go on to inspire the creation of and provide the voice for Kazunobu Chiba.
