Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan is able to find conclusive evidence on Akira Takaoka and tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal that Inoue was murdered in Fukushima and carried back to her home by Takaoka dressed as a delivery man. The time of Inoue's real death is shown when a video recording by Inoue is interrupted since Takaoka accidentally pulled the plug to the VCR. As evidence against Takaoka, there was coral sand found on Inoue's shoes and in the trunk of his car; a beach in Fukushima has coral sand. Takaoka confesses and reveals Inoue was forcing him into marriage to repay his debt to her.

Trivia

• Akira Takaoka's off-road is a Dark Green Toyota Land Cruiser [J80].
• The truck is a 2001 Subaru Sambar.
