239

As Heiji is investigating the rooms, Conan suddenly appears and talks to him about that all three sport celebrities are all innocent. Heiji and Conan find a mop in the closet of a hotel room and figure out what the trick was and Conan refuses to believe that it was possible. Conan runs out and finds the three athletes coming out of the bathroom. Conan goes into the bathroom and finds a needle in the trash. He then heard Ran, Kazuha, and Kogoro coming and Kogoro is talking to Ran and Kazuha about what he had overheard it in the restaurant about the meaning of "bandou". Kogoro also said that Ed McCay was fluent in Japanese and knew a lot about Japanese food. Conan finally figured it out who the culprit is. Conan finally confronts the culprit, Ray. Conan reveals that Ray used a soccer ball in order to turn on the lights on the 1st floor while killing the victim at the same time. Ray reveals that the victim created false rumors about him using drugs and destroyed his life. His wife committed suicide and that he only turned to drugs afterward to ease husband joint pain. Conan convinces Ray to turn himself in which involved the 2 having a conversation completely in English (in the subbed version). Conan is later shown to be sitting on the porch of Heiji's house depressed as one of his favorite soccer players Ray had been arrested. Ran remarks that Conan's expression is very similar to Shinichi's expression when he loses something he loves. Heiji cheers Conan up by trying to keep a soccer ball in the air by kicking. He fails which leads to Conan showing him the correct way to do it. Ran and Kazuha mention how they look like brothers. (Source: Wikipedia)
