The masked stranger attempts to kill Kichise but is interrupted by Conan. The group continue following the locations suggested by the sketches and arrive in Kurashiki. After a second masked stranger’s failed kidnapping attempt on Kichise, Conan finds a loan contract from the kidnapper and realizes the second masked stranger is a loan shark whom Nonomiya is indebted to. Nonomiya confesses and reveals she wants to use Kichise to locate the stolen jewelry. Conan deduces the first masked stranger is Kichise’s boyfriend, pastry chef Kenzou Taira, who is the mastermind behind the robbery. Taira is taken into custody where Kichise was an accomplice who drove off with the jewels. Conan confronts Kichise at a coin locker subway station and convinces her to turn herself in along with the jewels.
