Kakuzo shows Kogoro a photo of Tango’s body, noting the white glove matches that of a deceased butler who died in a car accident. He states Tango’s murder occurred on the anniversary of that death and claims he received a similar glove three days later, fearing he is the next target. Kogoro and Conan search the house for clues. A blackout and a vase sound lead them to Kakuzo’s room, where they find him hanged. Conan identifies three anomalies: glue securing the rope knot, a broken vase with sweat near the top, and a blood-stained book titled "Killer of Hades." Police conclude that if the book is a dying message, the killer must be among the three suspects.
