The kidnapper enclosed Conan in a box inside an unused hearse in order to secure the material witness and the altered testament, to be released after the original testament's purpose had been executed and thus made legally valid. However, unknown to the culprit, the hearse in question (with the box inside) was assigned to be scrapped and is driven to the Kuriniji Scrapyard. Fortunately, just before the car is compressed, the box cracks, allowing Conan to break out with his power-kick shoes.

People
Resolution
The conspiring Karahashi siblings.
The culprits in this case are Gotaro Karahashi's own children:
Kozo,
Mitsuyo, and
Eisuke. The three worked in concert to get rid of their father's altered last will, which would have left them with no inheritance. This disgusts Ran and yells at the siblings for putting Conan's life in danger over a stupid alternation of a will. Hearing this put the siblings in shock.
Trivia
- In the New Year Greeting to the viewers, Mistuhiko says that last year, Conan and Ichikawa Ebizo XI were the ones to do the New Year Greeting. This is a reference to Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery.
- There is a mistake in the first episode. In the earlier scene, Mitsuyo has the white and black shoes but Kozo's feet does not. Later all three siblings have on the white and black shoes. This is an important detail because the culprit wore this distinctive pair of shoes in Conan's flashback of him being kidnapped.
- The sunset painting in Mitsuyo's house is from Wakamatsu villa in The Design of Poison and Mirage and Kataoka household in The Secret of the Statue of Kogoro Mouri. Open spoiler box to see images.
- Yasuo Murakami is the same name of the culprit in A Dangerous Recipe.
- Gotaro Karahashi's hearse is a 2013 Black Toyota Crown Hearse [S210]. The license plate number is 新宿 800, い 31-87 (Shinjuku 800, I 31-87).
- The Japanese Buddhist style hearse crushed is a 1999 Black Toyota Crown Hearse [S170]. The license plate number is 新宿 800, あ 36-88 (Shinjuku 800, A 36-88).
- The taxi is a 2001 Yellow Toyota Crown Sedan [XS10]. The license plate number is 新宿 500, い 54-68 (Shinjuku 500, I 54-68).
