Further clues emerged as Conan observed scorch marks on the rope employed in the hanging, along with the distinct knot of a slip knot. Moreover, the length of the rope was insufficient; the deceased would have been forced to leap into the noose to end his life. Just as the police detective prepared to classify the death as a suicide, Conan stunned Kogoro, revealing the precise method of the murder and, with it, the crucial evidence that identified the killer.
