Conan went back to Nakai's apartment and investigates. Last night, the phone call for Kogoro came at 10:30 pm. By the time he rushed to the apartment by taking a taxi ride, it was 10:50.

Without the car, it would be impossible to get up there. Suddenly, Conan notice the entrance for the highway bus. Conan went to the road bridge and sees through the window which is directly across from Nakai's apartment. It is the perfect spot to take pictures. Yanase couldn't have gotten to the road bridge purely by luck. What's more, it takes no more than three minutes to get to the highway from the incident. Conan found some white powder on his sleeve and it's lime. The lime could be the connection about the fire that started in the kitchen sink.

Later, Conan bought a magazine article about the incident of Nakai's death. At the playground, he was looking at the picture of Nakai crashing through the window.

Agasa puts the magazine article on the scanner and imports the picture of Nakai crashing through the window on his computer screen. He zooms in to the kitchen reflected in the mirror. When he zooms in to the kitchen sink, it's so pixelated and it's not clear enough. Agasa fixes it and he finally made the picture more sharp and clear. There's a broken watch on the kitchen counter and Conan has no doubt that it was murder which he knows who did it. Agasa mentions that Yanase will be on tv tomorrow and he was advertised in a commercial. Yanase is going to invite Kogoro as his first guest to his show.

The culprit is '''Ryuichi Yanase'''.

At the starting of the show, Yanase introduces himself and shows his guest, Kogoro Mouri the famous detective to the tv viewers. Conan knocks out Kogoro with his stun gun wristwatch and uses the voice changing bowtie using Kogoro's voice. He deduces that the culprit who murdered Nakai was '''Ryuuichi Yanase'''. First of all, at the time of the incident, he was taking photos from the highway. Yanase asks how did he set fire at Nakai's apartment. Conan deduces that it only take three minutes to get from where he was taking pictures to the crime scene, if he use the staircase for highway bus passengers. He took advantage of that, went to Nakai's room and attacked him, knocking him unconscious. He set up kind of a time bomb, returned to the highway, and waited for the fire to start so he could begin taking pictures. The time bomb wasn't found at the crime scene and it was burned to ashes. The cause of the fire is lime which is a quick lime. That's how Yanase used as a time bomb. Quick lime is different from the slaked lime used to draw lines on athletic fields in the sense that when he add water, the exothermic reaction can reach up to 300 degrees. Then he conveniently used hot sake as a fuel. When bags of lime at construction sites are dampened by rain water, it reacts and sometimes even causes a small fire. He filled the sink with quick lime and added water, allowing to react. Conan suppose if he added newspaper and such, it would start burning even quicker. He would also imagine the picture Yanase won the award for was also taken in a similar fashion. Nakai found out about it and threatened Yanase. The very pictures he took provided conclusive evidence. Suddenly, Agasa appears and shows the picture of the sink on his computer. First, the kitchen sink. Water comes out of the faucet by lowering the lever. The lever's been lowered 1/4th of the way. In other words, at the time of the fire, water was running from the faucet in order to create the time bomb. Also, on Yanase's wrist, there is no watch which he received from the award ceremony and there was his watch on Nakai's kitchen counter in the picture on Agasa's computer. Yanase took it off so it wouldn't get wet while he adjusted the water flow, and then he forgot to take it with him. It's been scorched nicely because it was so close to the fire. Suddenly, Inspector Megure appears by making a V sign which means victory, a gesture popularized by Winston Churchill. He was asked by Kogoro (actually Conan when he called him on the phone awhile ago) for the floppy which contains video data of the highway, taken by the surveillance camera used to catch speeders. The time was 10:20 pm on the night of the fire. In other words, it was just ten minutes before Kogoro received a phone call from Nakai. Agasa then shows the image of Yanase driving a car. When Agasa zooms in, Yanase was wearing the watch. He was wearing it right before the time of the crime. The fact that the watch which was in Nakai's apartment is the very proof that he was at the scene of the crime. The photographer seeking to capture definite moments was captured at the definitive moment himself. It seems Yanase has forgotten the most important part being a photographer. The word "photograph" is composed of the characters, "reflect" and "truth". Yanase is now arrested for murder.
