 === Resolution ===
-<spoiler>The culprit is '''Takashi Date'''. The victim Utsumi was blackmailing the doctor on incidents of malpractice and was silenced. He had taken pictures of him making deals with other doctors as well, Takashi attempted to buy the photos off of him but he refused, most likely due to the fact that he wanted to continue to use these photos as leverage.
+<spoiler>The culprit is '''Takashi Date'''.
-He used a series of tricks to make so that he was able to kill the victim and maintain a alibi. When the train stopped at the first station, he got off and disguised himself by putting on a mustache and hat as well as turning his jacket inside out as it is reversible. Then he got on the train where Utsumi was, he was able to delay the train via phone call claiming to be a passenger who forgot their belongings in the train. He then sat down across from Utsumi and after talking he ambushed and injected him with a syringe full of medicine that induced a heart attack.

-The decisive evidence of his guilt was that he robbed the victim including a substantial amount of coins to give the impression of an indiscriminate robbery. However this itself was strange as there was a better target: a rich woman who was wearing expensive jewelry and most likely had a large amount of money as well. To keep the impression that he was on the same train that the victim wasn’t in the entire time he bought a drink using one of those coins.

-The possibility of fingerprints was brought up, but Date claimed that Utsumi had lent him money so finding his fingerprints wouldn't mean anything. However Conan as Kogoro says that was not what he meant when he mentioned fingerprints, he meant that the coins had fingerprints from the Stewardess. Utsumi had bought a drink from the stewardess, however she did not have bills small enough to give as change so she gave him his change in coins.

Utsumi had bought a drink from the stewardess with a 10,000 yen bill, however she did not have 1,000 yen bills so she gave him his change in coins.
-So should any of the stewardess's fingerprints be found on the those coins, then that will prove that Takashi was on the train were Utsumi was riding and was murdered in proving his guilt. Faced with the overwhelming evidence he breaks down and confesses his guilt, revealing his motive to be that the rumors about him making around the back deals was indeed true and that Utsumi had found out and blackmailed him for it. He did not want to be blackmailed for the rest of his life so he decided to kill him.</spoiler>
