The state of the clothes the shoes and the high temperature.
The hints probably made it rather easy to solve soup I guess the trick is in the evidence~
If you want a hint for that then,
Spoiler:
What did each of the victims do before or when they entered the warehouse? Something one of them did hid evidence.

It's pretty much spot on, except for the evidence, he would probably have noticed the blood on his sleeve, and he could say that the hot weather made him sweat or an ice cream melted on his shirt to explain away the water .

What happened to the victim?
The victim was faking his injury in a witness of a famous detective to back up his words. In doing so he could sue the other hotel and ruin their business/reputation
Who is the culprit?
The culprit is the directer and possibly the manager
What and how did the culprit do?
Before Kogorou's visit he removed the light bulb and turned off the TV, the remotes were in place to make it seem normal and out of reach. He also arranged for someone outside use a universal remote control which reflected of the mirror which he could see with the fluorescent tape on when Kogorou enter's their room as they can see through the window, this is when the trick will start. During this time the video tape recorder was still running and became warm as a result.
The culprit played the video tape with a recorded track of someone falling and a groan, the person outside ejected the tape from the TV and the person outside turned it off again. There were no light bulbs in the lamp as the universal control could turn it on accidently. When Conan looked outside he saw the reflection of the remote light at the front.
How to prove it?
If they play the tape and see if it's the same sound then it'll be proof. Also it's rather odd a uninjured man could be on the floor. Conan most likely got suspicious when the manager mentioned "This must have been done by somebody from the other hotel to ruin our reputation!" Normally you would think a deluxe room would be well kept but it's the opposite for this case and if the Director entered and couldn't open the lights he would get someone to fix it for him. These inconstant facts indicate that this was a planned plot perpetrated by the director and the manager.
Since One manger is trying to out do the other, the switch room game. He first takes the other manger in to a completely messy room. Then switchs room numbers and ten minutes later he take him back to the room but now everything is it place.
He hoping the other manger will drop dead by seeing the impossible happen.
