Resolution

Noboru Taniguchi was Touru Saeki's accomplice in the robbery and shot him to keep him quiet about Noboru's role in the crime after Touru unexpectedly shot Tetsuya.

The two of them had been signaling each other via phone call, if Saeki was in any trouble Taniguchi would call his phone to alert him of said danger. However, this backfired when Taniguchi called his cellphone to alert him of Tetsuya’s ambush, Tetsuya mistakenly believed that it was his cellphone that was ringing and froze up as a result a panicked Saeki shot him.

Seeing this caused Taniguchi to kill him due to him panicking as well. The evidence that links the two of them is cough drops. Before arriving at the bank Taniguchi met with Saeki and while talking with him saw that he had a cold, so he gave him half of a bar of his cough drops. Later Taniguchi gave the other half to Conan as he had a cold as well.

During the robbery Saeki had used up all his cough drops, but remembered that Taniguchi still had some left. So threw down the wrapper onto the floor and looked through his jacket not knowing that he already gave the cough drops away to Conan. When the two wrappers are put together they match perfectly proving that Taniguchi and Saeki are accomplices.

Another piece of evidence is the ringtone of the cellphone. A hostage had a tape recorder and he used it to secretly record some of the robbery, specifically the moment the whole robbery fell apart. When comparing the ringtones with the tape with the cellphones, it is revealed that the ringtone came from Saeki’s phone proving that Taniguchi called him during the robbery to alert him proving his guilt.

Trivia

• Touru Saeki's pistol is a Cybergun Desert Eagle .50AE GBB.
• In this case, Conan sure finds difficult to talk like a girl, in contrast to previous times, when he talked like Sonoko with no problem.
