Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Shoko Hisazu. She poisoned Ushigome by swapping the bottle cap with the poisoned one that she prepared ahead of time while using a potato chip bag as a cover.

She murdered him because she didn't want Ushigome to turn himself in due to the accident that he caused as it would have damaged her and her friends' reputation. Back then when they were driving they felt as if they had hit something, but when they got out of the car and searched they apparently found nothing or no one. So they assumed it was possibly a animal or something, however Shoko had found a man in the bushes but said nothing believing he was already dead.

But when they heard on the news that a man had been found dead where they had searched they thought it was a coincidence, but Ushigome knew better and had been guilt ridden for so long that he decided to turn himself in. But the Inspector Yokomizo tells her that the more she tries to hide her crime the more obvious it becomes, they would have eventually figured out that they had killed that man and arrested them. Hearing this she silently lets herself be handcuffed and taken away.

Trivia

• The suspects' rental car is a brilliant white pearl Nissan Elgrand [E51] with the license plate of 10-64.
• Although Jugo Yokomizo did meet the Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi in The Fishing Tournament Tragedy, it was a filler. In this canon case, all four of them are acting like this case is their very first encounter and Conan also tells them this inspector is Sango Yokomizo's younger twin brother.
• Jugo Yokomizo Vehicle in Ep.444 is 2004 Millennium Silver Metallic Toyota Corolla [E120].
