<spoiler>'''Tokujiro Nagai's''' motive for murdering Oshiro was the death of his wife. Mrs. Nagai was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but Tokujiro's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Oshiro, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from Mrs. Nagai, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, Mrs. Nagai suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], or rather [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to run after the offender for this accident, because he believe the child would come back by himself, which he did.
