Situation

The Detective Boys were hiking in the forest and were going to visit a lighthouse when the storm bursted. They decided to hide under a the solar panels of a greenhouse and have been spotted by the greenhouse's manager who brought them to the nearby Otaguro mansion. They were welcomed by Saburo and Yoshimoto, the maid. They were then informed about the head of the family (Otaguro-san) who have had early encounters of a ghost that appeared like a yellow glowing light. Just after, the mysterious glowing light in question appeared and frightened the Detective boys and it was interrupted by the arrival of Hideto Amemiya who led them visit his lab and explained them the past accident of the late Mrs. Otaguro.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Hana Yoshimoto tried to kill Nobuteru Otaguro, but the real culprit is Hideto Amemiya. The reason is money because he had many debts and Nobuteru was very strict with money so he decided to kill him to get inheritance. Amemiya used the fact that Otaguro thought their was a ghost so he could change his voice into Mrs. Otaguro's voice to incite Yoshimoto to kill him because of the events two months ago when Hana-san killed accidentally Chieko Otaguro by loosening her wheelchair's brakes.She just wanted to annoy Chieko because she was accusing her of stealing brooches and necklaces. Amemiya was at the crime scene so he decided to perpetrate his crime using this fact. He then purposely placed open the cabinet so when Yoshimoto would go clean his room, she could retrieve the poison and kill Otaguro. Conan later switches the poison contained in Otaguro's tea for salt. The ghost Nobuteru saw was in fact the spotlight from the lighthouse who had been reflected by the solar panels of the greenhouse on Otaguro's bookcase. The wheelchair moved because there was a breeze coming form a crack in the wall and also because the brakes were broken. The door would move at the slightest vibration because the latches were old and weak and the house was built 50 years ago At night, when Conan and the Detective Boys were going to leave, Conan asks the greenhouse's manager if he could let the solar panels stay longer so Otaguro would be happy to see his "wife's ghost" again .
