Conan tranquilizes Sonoko and reveals that the culprit is Chitose Sakai. He used the yard to avoid being seen to go to the bathroom to kill Tomita. He confesses and reveals that he tried and came up with a lot of ideas, but Tomita only considered him as a part-time worker. At the end of the episode, Conan discovers that Yoshihisa Furukawa didn't pay yet and had planned to dine and dash because of his money problems.
