Kuuga and his friends were about to head home when they came across a person lying on the ground, apparently dead from a stab wound. At the crime scene:

Takagi: Inspector Megure, the vehicle where the murder took place has been secured. We've finished investigating the area around the crime scene...

Megure: It seems we've done all we can here. We'll need the three of you to come to the station for questioning.

The suspects are Hasue Kira, Mitsuaki Funato, and Etsutoshi Oba.

Hasue: You can't force us to do that!

Mitsuaki: I need to get back to work quickly.

Etsutoshi: Can we do this another day when I have more time?

Agasa: No.

Conan used his voice-changing ability to imitate Agasa's voice and started making deductions.

Agasa: We can't afford to wait too long, otherwise evidence might disappear, or there could be other reasons for them to escape. Is that why you're in such a hurry to leave the crime scene?

Agasa looked at Conan, who hid behind him and quietly told him to slow down. Kuuga observed Conan as he deduced, using his voice-changing ability to make it seem like Agasa was talking.

Mitsuaki: Huh? All of a sudden, you're speaking like a detective, old man.

Takagi: Do you know who the murderer is?

Agasa: Well... yes, I have. I heard these three people, but one of them is a fake supporter.

Mitsuaki: Lying?

Hasue: The fake supporter. Aha! It's this guy, isn't it?

Mitsuaki: What?

Hasue: I remember! You said, "I missed seeing those two wingers kick the winning goal!"

Mitsuaki: Huh? So what?

Hasue: Hide and Naoki are both forwards! They're always up front and move around the field freely! They're not just wing forwards who keep to their area.

Megure: Is that so?

Etsutoshi: Er... Yes. Placing wingers in a team formation is an old tactic. Most teams don't do it anymore.

Mitsuaki: Er... Well... to tell you the truth, I'm a newbie soccer fan. I just said Hide and Naoki were wingers because it sounded kind of cool.

Hasue: Stop lying! You're the killer, aren't you?

Mitsuaki: C'mon, lay off! It was just a mistake...

Agasa: That's right! He isn't lying. He just used the wrong term.

Mitsuaki: What?

Agasa: I'm talking about the person who claimed to have watched a game. They didn't really see! It's no surprise the killer skipped the game. Today was the Tokyo derby, featuring Tokyo's two top teams. The stadium was packed with avid fans! If the killer had gone to the game, he or she could've easily spotted Akano-san in the crowd.

Megure: Then when did they start tailing Akano-san?

Agasa: The killer probably waited in a restroom near the stadium gate, listened to the game on a radio, and then rushed to the exit as the game ended.

Takagi: So, who is the liar?

Agasa: Why don't we ask those three again if they were really watching the match?

The comments were heard from the three suspects.

Hasue: I was watching the whole game from the front stand. I saw Hide and Naoki's goal. It was amazing, and I even got into an argument with the Spirits' supporters.
