Using Professor Agasa's voice, Conan reveals the second truck driver, Shuichiro Tarumi, to be the murderer. Conan reveals that Tarumi murdered Nakamine in a desolated location near the village before turning the truck around and meeting with the other villagers. As evidence, Conan reveals the flashlight Genta found was actually a dictation machine with Nakamine's voice recorded on it. Tarumi takes Haibara as hostage and attempts to flee but is eventually stopped by Conan with a ball and apprehended by Narutaki. Conan reveals that Tarumi's motive was fear of being exposed by Nakamine for embezzling money from the firefly project and stealing money from Nakamine's father's company.
