This cleared suitors Donald Hiblar and Michael Stewart along with the maid Nonee. At that time, however, suitors Dirk Copeland and Quentin Mifune were not present. Dirk noticed Quentin heading in the direction of the bathroom but Quentin denies entering the bathroom at all. Then by accident, Conan turns on the water and the showerhead comes on. Richard scolds Conan and warns him he will get wet. With that statement, Conan has realized the way Reika was killed. To find the killer, he puts Richard to sleep and proclaims he's solved the case. He asks the suitors to remove their suit jackets. Conan notices where water stains are located on the mens' shirts. Conan deducts that suitor Donald Hiblar is the murderer. First, Donald rejoined Steve in the search for Reika, giving Donald the perfect opportunity to murder him. Next, he made it look like the murderer had cut the power and escaped through the window. He set this up by causing a power surge and breaking the window. Donald's next act was to drug Rachel's tea. While everyone believed Rachel was attacked for a reason, there was none. Donald had chosen a victim at random because all he wanted was a witness to confirm she was drowned the same way Steve was. Finally, there was Reika.

The evidence is on his shirt elbows where the water stained when he removed Reika. He confesses and says Sonja was murdered by Steve and Reika and this was merely revenge.
