 After putting Kogoro to sleep with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], Conan, using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]], revealed how Katsuhiko’s real killer was '''his mother'''.
-Katsuhiko does not smoke with filters, that’s why Naomichi’s attempt to poison him through this, failed. Meanwhile, his mother knew his habits, and put poison in his coffee, knowing that he wouldn’t eat the antidote in the cake. The reason she had a change of heart when Susumu drank the coffee is because he is drinking the poison, so she quickly gave him the antidote in the cake so he wouldn't die. She also framed Yoshimi by switching the chocolates she gave him with a half-eaten bar that Katsuhiko apparently ate. Though his mother immediately washed all the cups and switched the chocolates, poison lingers much deeper than the naked eye could see.
