Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Yutaka Abe. Yutaka's reason to kill his best friend is that he is on the verge of bankruptcy and he tricked the much richer Negishi to fall on his plan. He made a bet with a drunk Negishi that if he successfully went into hiding, Abe would give his life insurance policy to him. He betrayed Negishi, then commited the murder because he wanted to take the insurance.

Negishi really died on Tuesday night, the night before Yutaka left on his vacation in Kyushu. The next day, Yutaka had Kogoro follow a fake who looked like Negishi in order to make him think Negishi was alive through Wednesday night. Negishi is right-handed but the man on the photos is left-handed. This is the proof that the person Kogoro stalked is not Negishi but a different person.

Negishi's body was found on Thursday evening, during the famous fire festival. Yutaka carefully checked ahead of time to make sure the times matched. With the body burned by flames, it was impossible to find the exact time of death. This led to Kogoro to think that Negishi died from Wednesday night to Thursday night, when in fact, he really died on Tuesday evening. Then, Yutaka came back from his trip on Friday night acting innocent with his complete alibi. Kogoro is completely infuriated when he realizes that he had been lied to, but he can only prove that Yutaka tricked him into following a double, NOT that he is the criminal.

Yutaka's plan is to escape the country, going to Seattle, taking Negishi's money with him. Fortunately, Conan confronts him for the murder before he escapes on an airplane and Conan manages to trick him and record him admitting the crime.

Attemped Murder

Location: Narita International Airport, Narita, Chiba Prefecture

Victim: Conan Edogawa

Attack type: Choke

Culprit: Yutaka Abe

After Conan confronts him, Yutaka attemps to kill Conan but got struck by a tire.

Conan then knocks him unconscious with a tire to the face. Conan also leaves the casette tape beside Yutaka so when the police find him, he will be arrested with sufficient evidence. Afterwards, the police arrests him together with Negishi's impersonator.
