'''Robert Taylor''' is the murderer. While Kinuyo Takeda's suicide was genuine and started the rumor of the Takeda Tsuchigumo Yokai, Misa Takeda's was caused due to a misunderstanding in a temporary farewell message left by Robert. One day Robert was the victim of a rockslide accident and nearly died if Misa did not save him. The injuries were severe that he could temporary not talk and as he could only write romanji, the two were initially unable to communicate with each other. Misa was already facing depression because she had learn that she was not her father's daughter. The true father was Ryuji and the conception was an arrangement between him and Misa's mother, because Nobukazu had been declared steril and Kinuyo desperately wanted a child. The Takeda brothers' mother figured the truth on her own and named her two other grand-daughters, so along with Misa's name they would make a loop: MISA-SAE-EMI. A romantic relationship blossomed between her and Robert. When Robert left he wrote in English "SHINE" for his beloved to express the sentiments that he considered her the "shine of his life". The twins mistook it to mean "to die" seeing it as a death threat and committed suicide for this reason. Negishi and the people who knew the truth about Misa's birth assumed it was out of shame. Robert returns and hears about her death from Akio Negishi who upon making a perversed comment about his beloved drove Robert into a rage where Negishi was strangled/hanged. He then resolved to murder the entire/key members of the Takeda family in the belief that they were responsible for her death. He sees Nobukazu Takeda as a perfect excuse for a callous victim as he was secretly involved in a drug smuggling operation. |

The instant he peaks out Robert would pull a string that would release the slingshot mechanism: effectively snapping Nobukazu's neck and leaving him dangling in silk threads much like the yokai curse. This was done at the time he was leaving to view constellations at an observation point on a motorbike so as to create an alibi. |

Heiji and Kazuha take a motorcycle ride to the Yonago mountains, Tottori Prefecture, but they get lost in their way there.

Kazuha is flustered at the idea and then gets angry when Heiji adds that he hopes she won't snore, and them someone appears from behind them and teases them about how couples shouldn't fight. It's an American man named Robert Taylor who is fluent enough in Japanese to understand their banter and acts very familiar towards the two. He mentions a Takeda family that housed him some years ago, and Heiji and Kazuha recognize their surname as the one of the family that hired Heiji, but he's lost, so he cannot really help them to get to their mansion.
A van passes around and, to call up the attention of the people in it, Heiji throws his helmet towards them. The driver's compantion turns out to be Kogoro, who gets hit and gets very mad at Heiji. Ran and Conan are also with him and they give Heiji, Kazuha and Robert a ride to the Takeda property.
