When the witch drifts, the tire makes a sound that sound like a woman screaming. Yamamura reveals his grandma raced against the witch but gave up when the witch drove into the air. Kogoro decides to investigate on the identity of the witch and returns to Mount Fuyana the next day, taking Conan and Ran with him in Orange Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (CZ4A). Upon meeting the witch, Kogoro has a drag race with her but stops when Conan reveals that the witch drove into a road less area. Kogoro tells Yamamura to stop all White FD drivers and wait for his arrival. Once there, Kogoro interrogates the three suspect pairs in order to find out which one of them is the witch.

The next day Conan reveals the pair with the fishing gear to be the culprit. He reveals they hung a red headlight on a fishing rod in the fog to create the image they are turning into a road-less area. The culprits are revealed to be Raito Egashira and Akira Mafune. They appear and challenge Kogoro to a race but are caught when they come upon a road block. Egashira and Mafune reveal that they used the legend of the witch to scare racers from racing on the mountain but they never waved to the inspector's grandmother. Conan revealed that the grandmother saw a "Brocken Spectre" which is a reflection of the grandmother waving at herself.

While unattended, Egashira and Mafune attempt to escape from the police but are intercepted by Miwako Sato. It is revealed afterwards that Sato was the witch spoken of in the legend four years ago and that she change the color of her Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) from white to red to avoid accidents in the fog.
