## Plot[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=The_Spilled_Truth&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Plot")]
Conan has figured out the case and starts explaining the ignition device. He presents the charred potato chip he found in the ground. Potato chips are soaked with oil and therefore can serve as simple tinder, they burn for about a minute. This reminds Ayumi that a student went to buy potato chips at the supermarket before school: Kaisuke Danno, the new kid from class 1A. Kaisuke interjects, saying that he did not buy the chips after all. Conan continues with his explanation: the perpetrator used the metal support from the clematis pot that Haibara knocked over while extinguishing the fire, to place a magnifying glass on the circular top, which focuses the sun's rays and thus sets fire to the potato chips, over which easily inflammable black folded paper was also placed.
However, no magnifying glass is found at the crime scene, Haibara notes. Conan explains that the perpetrator used a magnifying glass made of ice. A corresponding convex lens made of ice can easily be made in a round-bottomed bowl in the freezer. All the perpetrator then had to do was bring it to school in a plastic container with ice packs and place the ignition device after fourth period and before lunch. Kobayashi objects that the perpetrator, however, could not guarantee that the ice lens would melt completely before witnesses arrived on the scene, but Conan also has an explanation for this: 10-yen coins. These are 95% copper and have high thermal conductivity. So all the perpetrator had to do was grab the ice lens in time and clutch it with his hand, along with some 10-yen coins hidden in a pocket.
Suddenly, Conan grabs Haibara's arm, whose hand she had left stuck in the pocket of her dress since extinguishing the fire, and pulls it out, revealing some 10-yen coins, a lot of water, and an almost completely melted lump of ice. In fact, the fire was started by Haibara, who intentionally splashed water on her top while extinguishing it so that the water from melting the ice lens would not be noticeable. Haibara wants to take all the blame, but Maria Higashio then intervenes, explaining that Haibara only acted at her request. Maria wanted to postpone the parents' visit day, so that her mother does not push herself to go from the hospital to the school.
Haibara's involvement in the case first became clear to Conan from Haibara's wet lead pencil cases, as some drops probably got on Haibara's pencil case when she unpacked the ice lens. It then became clear when Conan asked for a 10 yen coin for the battery compartment of the egg timer. Haibara had paid for 258 yen worth of leads at the supermarket with a 1000 yen bill, and Maria had paid for 302 yen worth of her tape with a 500 yen coin; so both girls would have to be in possession of at least four 10 yen coins, but when asked by Conan, both denied this without even looking in their wallets. And if one was so far with one's conclusions, Haibara's hidden hand was also suddenly very obvious.
Kaisuke Danno and Takuma Sakamoto had nothing to do with the fire. Conan also clarifies that the legend of the man-eating classroom at Kaisuke's old school was certainly invented by students who merely wanted to make away with Kaisuke's "offerings." The vase of flowers falling over, the broom closet opening on its own, and the flowerbed burning could quite easily have been faked by classmates, like using fishing rope. His current classmates now call Kaisuke an uncool liar who was easily fooled, but Conan sees it differently: "While it is slightly uncool to fall for such a story, Kaisuke was only gullible in the end; what was really uncool, on the other hand, are the nasty classmates who fooled Kaisuke," says Conan. Takuma, on the other hand, wanted to secretly grow and transplant a new tulip at home to replace the one he knocked over. Conan explains to him that no more tulips will grow this year and the current tulips will have to be transplanted in the fall anyway, so if Takuma just brings a new tulip bulb there, it will grow into a new tulip as a replacement by next spring.
Now that all the mysteries have been solved, Conan asks Maria and Haibara to apologize to the teachers and classmates, as some students were very much looking forward to visiting day. Haibara and Maria comply, bowing and politely asking for forgiveness. Conan asks Kobayashi if they could not turn a blind eye, but Kobayashi and Rumi say that unfortunately they have to inform the school principal about the matter. But that is not necessary, because school principal Ryujiro Uematsu is already at the scene and has heard everything. Kobayashi wants to explain the girls' motives in more detail, but Uematsu loudly announces that he does not care about the reasons, because simply conducting science experiments without supervision during lunch break is unheard of. As "punishment" for their "experiment," he orders Haibara and Maria to replant the burned flowers and be responsible for watering them for a month, which the girls accept. Now that the matter is off the table, the class should prepare for the guardians, Uematsu says. Maria asks Kobayashi to tell her mother to take it easy, but Kobayashi says that Maria's mother has already called, she will not come, but will still attend the visiting day.
A little later, visiting day is underway and it becomes clear what Maria's mother meant: she has had Professor Agasa set up a video call on her laptop at the hospital, which is connected to the tablet that Yukiko brought to school while disguised as Fumiyo Edogawa. This allows her to participate without leaving the hospital. Kobayashi writes the equation 5 + ▢ = 7 on the board and wants to know the number that goes in the blank square. Almost all the students raise their hands, including Maria, much to her mother's delight. Agasa notices that Haibara has not raised her hand and asks over the speaker if she really does not know the answer. Embarrassed, Haibara thinks she's holding back so she would not be noticed when she always knows everything. Agasa says that he too is watching her and she should make him proud. With a smile, Haibara gives in and now raises her hand as well. Kobayashi, however, takes Conan's turn, who of course answers the question correctly, for which the disguised Yukiko effusively praises him.
While Kobayashi continues to lead the lesson, Rumi looks out the window where she observes a black van outside the school gate. Inside are two members of the Black Organization, who receive a call from Rum inquiring about the status of the stakeout. The members report that the school is not the appropriate place to assassinate Rumi because there would be too many witnesses and too much potential collateral damage. Rumi covers every angle of attack by using her colleague or students as shields, the report said. Rum asks if Rumi's residence could be located. The members cannot give a clear answer to that; while they have some potential addresses, Rumi keeps leading them down a wrong track, presumably she has many more false addresses. Rum says that the operation is in no hurry, so the members should be thorough and deliberate, because Rum also wants to know beforehand why Rumi continues to stay at the school as a teacher, even though her cover is so compromised. In the classroom, Rumi averts her eyes from the window and stares blankly at Haibara.
