Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The killer is Juzo Tonoyama. He was initially relieved of suspicion because the police thought the murderer locked himself into an adjacent toilet stall and then climbed over the gap between them to stab the victim: his bulk makes it impossible for him to traverse the gap. In actuality, Tonoyama first stabbed Yayoi and then threw her from the gap into a random toilet stall instead. The thin rope was used to accomplish this task and the murderer must have gotten injured. The weird placement of Tonoyama's bandages is the definitive evidence.

The reason for Tonoyama's murder of Yayoi was that she was "the other woman" in his marriage. She didn't know that Tonoyama was a married man so she angrily started to demand for marriage (probably not helped by how she was almost 25 years old, nearing the age where an unmarried woman is known as a christmas cake and is looked down on by the still conservative Japanese society), and he decided to kill her before his wife found out. In his anger upon being discovered, Tonoyama attacks Eri but she uses a judo throw to pin him down, which allows the police to catch him.

After that, Conan uses his child-like looks to try force Wakaoji to reveal that he wanted to have sex with the girl he's been waiting for, thinking said girl is Ran. To his surprise, it isn't Ran... but it is someone they know: Sonoko, who angrily calls him out. Conan is confused, and then Ran arrives and she meets up with Eri. Eri lectures Ran on her too short miniskirt and Ran calls her "mom", sending Conan into a shock.

Later Ran and Conan keep company to Eri, with Conan thinking to himself about how he had not recognized Eri after not having seen her in around 10 years; while Eri has taken a liking to Conan he is not pleased because, as Shinichi, she always told him off for getting Ran in trouble. Ran tries to talk Eri into reconciliating with Kogoro, but she loudly refuses since she thinks of him as an irresponsible womanizer, and then they stop by an electronic shop whose TV is showing a report on Kogoro's detective skills. Eri is at first happy and kinda considers talking to Kogoro, but when he starts talking about women on the TV she leaves in a huff.

Manga to anime changes

• In the manga, Conan just woke up and is still in his pyjamas when he catches Ran sneaking out. This also explains why he doesn't see through her lie about going to a date with Shinichi immediately. In the anime, Conan shows no signs of having been asleep and wears a normal outfit.

Dub changes

• The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

• Yayoi Himeno - Yvonne Marks
• Yuichi Sumeragi - Keith Davidovich
• Juzo Tonoyama - James Tongan
• Shiro Wakaoji - Steve Wilson
