<spoiler>The culprits are the '''Matsumoto sisters''', who actually are an '''identical twin sisters'''. After Chieko had finished tuning piano at the client's house, she headed to the mall, disguised herself as Kiwako, and performed on the stage to create alibis for both of them, while Kiwako committed the murder. Conan notices the three facts that Kiwako at the mall was an imposter: the real Kiwako claimed to have left Kogoro's plastic flower inside a vase filled with water at the mall, the fake Kiwako's strange action at the mall is Chieko's unconscious habit of trying to adjust her glasses, and the fact that Kiwako claims to know that the victim was stabbed, despite that police have not yet told her such information.

==== Motive ====

The sisters' motive is revenge. Many years ago, Yagi tricked their father and stole the music school that he had built, claiming the ownership for himself, and drove their father into committing suicide. One year ago, the sisters came to this school, pretending to be incompatible with each others to throw off suspicion, in order to commit the murder. However, at the end, Chieko breakdowns as she had to lie to herself and pretend to be someone who hates her sister whom she really cares for. Kiwako, realizing what Chieko went through, admits that perhaps in the end, the revenge was all for nothing except costing them a year of lie and suffering for both of them.

<spoiler> The culprit is '''Hidetaka Yada'''. He killed the victim from a long distance using a lantern and a rope. As he is the "Hanging Ghost", when the rope is tense enough with weight applied, the lantern attached to the other side of the rope would fall to the edge and hit the victim's head as a pendulum. The evidence is hidden in Yada's back, as he hid rope traces left in the scene. He finally confesses that he also had a crush on Yamanashi, but didn't intenfere between Yokoi and Ogino's love triangle, but enraged when Ogino and Yamanashi engaged. The only way that he could have a chance with her was by murdering Ogino and framing Yokoi, that's why he elaborated this plan. He then tries to kill Miho but is apprehended by Ran using a karate kick. </spoiler>
