After discovering who the murderer is, Conan explains why the murderer went after Ran. He pinpoints when Ran unknowingly discovered a vital clue.

コナン:
「あの(とき)(らん)(こと)()にもとめてなかったが、もし(おも)()されたらせっかく()()てたこの殺人(さつじん)計画(けいかく)がすべて(みず)(あわ)になる…」
“Ran didn't think anything of it at the time, but if she remembered it, all the murderous plans he worked so hard on putting together would go up in smoke.”
