Yusuke's father Tetsuji was a driving instructor who died in an accident 20 years ago. Six of his students had played a prank on him by plying him with alcohol, and he suffered a fatal car crash. The students involved in the fatal prank were the four murder victims, MP Sotaro Goshi, and the escaped convict Numabuchi. Sakata says he had always wondered about his father's death, he was usually a very careful driver. When he stumbled upon Numabuchi after he had escaped from prison, the latter got frightened and asked "Instructor Inaba" immediately for forgiveness, confusing Yusuke with his father. Yusuke heard the true story behind his father's death and forced Numabuchi to stay in the hut in the forest, planning to take revenge on the other five students before eventually framing Numabuchi for the murders, and making his death look like a suicide.
  
Twenty years ago Yusuke's father, a very strict driving instructor, was killed when a tasteless prank involving alcohol and his car went too far, and it was performed by the four victims plus the serial killer Numabuchi and Assemblyman Goshi. Sakata always had doubts about Inaba's death, as he was a very careful and responsible man. When investigating the case with Numabuchi, however, Numabuchi started screaming and begging for "Instructor Inaba"'s forgiveness, due to their noticeable physical resemblance. Ever since then, he kept Numabuchi hidden in the forest, but was planning to kill him and frame him for the murders he'd commit as revenge for his father's death.

Heiji closes his eyes again, exhausted, and Kazuha starts to cry, believing he is about to die. Her sobs wake an angry Heiji up, he yells that he was just trying to sleep and she should stop being "so noisy".

Case

Situation

Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to visit him in Osaka, taking them on a sightseeing tour. In a restaurant, they run into Kazuha Toyama, Heiji's childhood friend, who appears to be jealous of Ran, asking her if she's "that Kudo girl" that Heiji keeps talking about and telling Ran to back off, because Heiji and her have been "joined by steel" for ages. Ran laughs and explains herself and the two girls hit it off. After finishing their meal, Kazuha joins them on their exploration of the city, but, as they leave the restaurant, a dead body falls from the roof of the building, hitting Kogoro's rental car.

The police arrive and quickly realise that this newest victim, a man in his forties, has been killed in the same fashion as two other people who died a few days earlier, by being stabbed in the heart through their wallets.
