Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The apprentice Yoshio Komiyama is revealed as the second victim's brother, Yoshio Nogami, and he tries to murder Kasuga for attacking his sister and ruining her dream.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Kasuga household Victim: Ryuji Kasuga Age: 30 years old Attack types: Stabbing Culprit: Yoshio Komiyama

Fortunately, Kogoro and Conan arrive in time to stop him. Conan tranquillizes Kogoro and starts the deduction to solve this case.

Komiyama believed that the attacks were executed by Kasuga because they happened near the studio in deserted locations, which means the culprit probably was following the victims and he deduced that the culprit was someone from the studio. Kogoro says that his affirmations are correct but the culprit isn't Kasuga, but the assistant, Riko Rokui. Conan via Kogoro continues explaining the pieces of evidence that she is the culprit.

First, the second victim heard a sound before being attacked, which sounded like a clattering sound which was revealed to have come from sketching pencils. Kasuga doesn't carry anything, but his assistant carries those all the time. Second, there's a scratch at the staircase's poles where the first victim was pushed. This means Riko grabbed the pole when she tried to push the victim and the scratch was made from her wristwatch.

Lastly, he says that a part of her wristwatch's metal band is shaped differently and looks new, so it probably was repaired in a hurry after it got damaged. All they have to do is ask the store where she had her watch repaired and that would get them the evidence they need. She then confesses that she did the attacks because she hated the models, she was a big fan of Kasuga’s and he asked her to be his assistant, but the happiness of being his assistant was ruined when he scouted new models.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Kasuga household Victim: Ran Mouri Age: 17 years old Attack types: Stabbing Culprit: Riko Rokui Riko finally prepares to kill Ran and tries to stab her.

Conan is startled and worried about Ran when Riko grabs a knife and tries to attack Ran but is relieved when she stops it with a karate kick. Ran reveals that Kasuga told her that she is his last model because he would like to return to work with Riko. Riko realizing that she had misunderstood and had made a terrible mistake breaks down into tears.

Ran finally works as the karate mascot of a shop, which suits her perfectly.

Trivia

• There is a continuity error near the beginning of the episode after the opening. The door handle on the room Komiyama enters after his introduction changes from the right side to the left side when Kasuga goes to check on him shortly after.
