When Conan and the group did not see the criminals and the victims in Saitama Route 162, they began decoding the numbers in the calculator again. As Mitsuhiko was punching the numbers in his calculator, Conan accidentally saw that when upside down, the numbers can actually be read as "291 Heisei E". The decoded message means the one o'clock train on February 9th of the Heisei Express train. True enough, the shape of the river was similar to the train tracks that Heisei Express would take. The criminals wanted Koichi to shoot someone inside the train and the balloon was just an accuracy test.

When the criminals don't arrive at the site on Saitama Route 162, Conan and the Detective Boys try reexamining the code. As Mitsuhiko punches the numbers into his calculator, Conan accidentally sees that when upside down, the numbers can read as "291 Heisei E". The decoded message means the one o'clock train on February 9th of the Heisei Express train. The shape of the river turns out to mirror a double-curve in the train tracks of the Express. The criminals want Koichi to shoot someone inside the train and the balloon was just an accuracy test.  
  
Conan sneaked in the helicopter where Inspector Megure was. And before Koichi could assassinate the target, Inspector Megure instructed the pilot to swoop down the criminals. Conan used his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] to kick his helmet towards one criminal before he could shoot Koichi. Koichi was able to take down the remaining criminals and save Eri from harm.

While fishing, Conan and with the Detective Boys spot a sniper shooting a balloon tied to a remote controlled boat on the river. This sniper is held at gunpoint by other men. The Detective Boys go to find these men but when they get there, the gunmen have left.

Conan finds a calculator under a small concrete block which he believes was left behind by the sniper. Kogoro, Ran and Conan, joined by the Shonen Tantei, find a stretch of road that mirrors the river used for the test. They call the police and find out that the sniper, Koichi Yamabe, and his girlfriend, Eri, were recently reported missing. However, while waiting for the criminals to arrive at the supposed sniping spot, Conan realizes that the numbers on the calculator, when read upside down, spell out a different message entirely.
