Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals that Genichi was murdered, and the culprit is Satoko Takehara. First, she murdered her husband when the puffed rice exploded in the machine to camouflage the sound. Later, she tied a fishing line across the hawk's path from the gunshot trigger to a drum. When the hawk touched the fishing line, the gunshot fired a shell and pierced a fastener. The drum then droppped to the ravine and fell with a wood plank supporting Genichi's body, creating a scene that he was murdered when he fell onto the ground. The supposed Genichi saw by people was also Satoko, who disguised herself as him to make her alibi. The proof is a blood stain in her neck that also matches with a stain in Genichi's neck. She confesses with a creepy face that her husband planned to sell the cafe and leaving not only the cafe, but also her.
