Ran video-chats with Yukino Mizutani, Kogoro Mouri's client who apparently is under domestic abuse and being stalked by her lover, Kensuke Kubo. In the middle of the conversation, Yukino seems to be attacked by Kubo and screams for help. Ran Mouri calls Shinichi Kudo to Beika Mansion where Yukino lives; rushing there, she bumps into Kubo and later deduces that he is the culprit. However, Yukino is nowhere to be found – her corpse is discovered six hours later at a weekly mansion in Saitama, which is 200 km far from Beika Mansion; therefore, it's impossible for Kubo to be the culprit..

  • Before leaving the Beika apartment she cut her finger to leave some blood and trashed the apartment to frame Kubo for her murder.
  • Shinichi noted that there were discrepancies in the blood evidence in the Saitama apartment, whereas the carpet was full of blood the floor was clean. Shinichi noted that with this clue he knew that she was killed elsewhere and was moved with the carpet inside a suitcase to the apartment in Saitama
  • After killing Mizutani, Kubo ran to the Beika apartment in order to extract an alibi by bumping into Ran who was looking for Mizutani.
  • Even though he cleaned up the blood in the third apartment, Kubo missed part of the dying message Mizutani left with her blood which was "Ku".

The person who murdered Yukino Mizutani was Kensuke Kubo.
