'''Kozaburo Hijikata''' not only killed Isami since she cheated on him, but because of her life insurance which he needed to cash on due to his upcoming bankruptcy.

The proof that Conan needed was a prop pistol that Kogoro accidentally broke in one of the apartments, and which he hid under a couch pillow; finding it in the right place is what uncovers Hijikata's plans. | The proof that Conan needed was a prop pistol that Kogoro accidentally broke in one of the apartments, and which he hid under a couch pillow; finding it in the right place is what uncovers Hijikata's plans. | ||

Part 2
Kogoro tells the media all of the current suspicions so Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi can sneak Hijikata and Okita out the backdoor for questioning, but before doing so Conan goes up to the sixth floor to try and find some evidence that his suspicion of Hijikata being the killer is accurate. In the end one truth as always will prevail, but which side is truly innocent here?
