Banba proclaims innocence and reveals the culprit is most likely Tooru Amuro, their waiter who has secretly met with Kamon.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Raita Banba and Hatsune Kamon are actually twins separated after an accident when they were babies. The murder is actually a suicide. The stick-on fingernails of the victim had shin on the tips with a DNA rough match to Banba, making him the prime suspect. What proved his innocence was the cake stain on the sole of his shoe. If he had gone outside, the cake would have washed away. The rough match also proved that Hatsune and Banba were twins in a church when they were little, but didn't find each other until adulthood. Hatsune wondered this so she had a DNA comparison done by a doctor and the results proved the two were brother and sister; seeing no turning back, she ended where it began: in the fire. Following the resolution, Tooru Amuro asks to be Kogoro's apprentice, even promising an unspecified tuition, that causes him to joyfully accept.
