Kaetsu dressed like Asama and made people believe that he jump off the train by using his fishing equipment. First, he hit Asama in the head until he died and broke the window using silenced gun. Then, he put the fishing line through the belt loop on the back of his pants and hung him outside the window. He tied the side of the fishing line to the pulley and the other to something stable outside the room. Lastly, he used another fishing line, looped one end, and put a piece of tape through it. He passed the other end into the lock and tied the end to the line he cut. After that, he went to the lobby car, shot Izumo, and ran back to Asama's room. He opened the door and fired some shots to make people believe he shattered the window then. He saw Kogoro and the conductors following him, so he shot at them. While they were shielding themselves from the bullets, he went to hide himself next to the stairs and cut the fishing line to release the string from the pulley so the corpse will be released. When the line was cut, the corpse would drag the fishing line tied to the door down. The dragging force released the tape but the inertia made the door close completely.  He used this trick to framed Asama on the murder of Izumo. He chose to operate in the tunnel in the middle of the night because he didn't want people off the train to see the corpse hanging off. Also, the hallway was dark so no one would see the fishing line tied to the room. Lastly, he put sleeping pills in his wife's dinner box so she couldn't hear the gunshot. The shirt the criminal used is found on his luggage together with the disguise outfit. This is the evidence that he is really the culprit.

As they discuss the case, Kogoro calls all the passengers to witness his inaccurate deduction, enabling Conan to figure out the trick.

Yukiko volunteers to act as a decoy to help him find the proof.
