Past[]

Activity in the chatroom[]

Tanaka's grandfather, Fuden Harui, died in a failed magic trick provoked by Toshiya "The Disappearing Bunny" Hamano and Tsutomu "Escape King" Nishiyama. In her estate, Tanaka found chat recordings in which Escape King and The Disappearing Bunny were amused by Harui's death. In anger, she decided to kill both users. She created a second username, “Shadow Priest”, and took over her grandfather’s account. As Shadow Priest, she often wrote scary things like: “I can fly!”

Murder of Nishiyama[]

Before Tanaka went to the meeting, she killed Tsutomu Nishiyama, who was active in the chat as Escape King. She left a message on his computer screen saying this was her first victim.

Present[]

In addition to Tanaka, Yoshinori Ara, Kiyohiro Sugama, Toshiya Hamano, Naoko Kuroda, Katsuki Doito, Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mori and Conan Edogawa are also present at the off-screen meeting. Tanaka drove to the remote, two-story house before the meeting. Since Nishiyama, the organizer of the meeting, doesn't show up, Hamano performs a magic trick to determine who will lead the evening, set the mood and who will be in charge of the bath. Tanaka manipulates this trick, which she was privy to from the start, so that she has to heat up the bathroom, giving her enough time to kill Hamano, who goes to his room to think of fun things to brighten up the evening. After thinking of him, Tanaka builds a structure out of strings and arrows to place the victim in the middle of the garden without a trace. During the course of the evening, Tanaka attacks the people gathered at the meeting in front of the site with a crossbow.

Conan, however, was able to deduce Kikue's guilt and impersonated Sonoko to expose her. Kikue initially denied everything and poked holes in "Sonoko"'s deductions, but she was ultimately revealed as the killer when Conan revealed that she had one of her arrows hidden in her boot, Conan having called everyone out of the lodge so Kikue wouldn't have time to hide it. Defeated, Kikue pulled out the arrow and confessed to being Shadow Priest and murdering Nishiyama and Toshiya, stating that while she didn't hold the group responsible for her grandfather's death, she was driven to take revenge after seeing how her victims had mocked her late grandfather. She was then arrested offscreen.
