Conan begins to suspect the son-in-law and they are able to find the man in time to give him the medicine. Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and deduces that Akinari Domoto was responsible for the kidnapping and that Hirano was just paid to transport the money. He admits to the kidnapping, and sadly it is revealed that neither his father-in-law nor his wife harbored any ill-feelings toward him. He was trying to be strict with him so that he would be able to inherit the family business.
