The culprit is Monpei Kogure. He wanted to avenge Yoshikuwa. After case closed, Detective Takagi told Conan that Touhei Benzaki from the pickpocket case , there is a contradiction in bank robbery case, and the real Benzaki said that he does not remember he was involved in that pickpocket murder case and he is unmarried. Conan who is suspected that fake couple is Bourbon and Vermouth, rushed back to the Mouri Detective Agency in panic worried Haibara has been compromised.
