Conan noticed that the plot is very similar to an unpublished novel written by his father that had been stolen ten years before. However, unable to contact Yusaku Kudo, Conan takes the case into his own hands, and finds his mother on the train.
Part 2
Conan reveals to the suspicious woman that he knows her identity - it is Yukiko Kudo, his mother, in disguise. As they discuss the case, Kogoro calls all the passengers to witness his inaccurate deduction, enabling Conan to figure out the trick. However, a worried Conan recalls that in the novel, the detective boy who solved the case was murdered by the trap he set for the criminal. Yukiko volunteers to act as a decoy to help him find the proof.

Resolution
When the train lands at Sapporo Station, however, Conan and Yukiko are separated and the criminal moves, intending to push her onto the tracks. Yusaku appears just in time and reveals the trick and his own identity to the criminal, who had idolized his work. The culprit is Toshinori Kaetsu. Izumo and Asama were in a joint plan to have Asama's own jewelry store robbed. In the process a worker at the store who is Toshinori's supposed girlfriend gets kidnapped and murdered by Asama by forcing her to over consume drugs.
