Aired on November 5, 2001Filler

256
Conan remains unable to identify the culprit, prompting him to have Mouri join the Linked Verse Contest to buy more time for observation. This strategy allows Conan to scrutinize the suspects more closely. Eventually, he determines that Shiina-san is the murderer. The motive stems from a financial dispute, as the victim was a loan dealer who had scammed Shiina's group out of their money. The investigation concludes with the identification of the killer and the revelation of the underlying financial grievance that drove the crime.
