Nightmare Escape

Resolution

The fingerprints on Miwako's floppy disk reveals that the murderer of the case is Kitagawa the valet. After leaving the crime scene, he crawled on the floor toward the other end of the hallway with Nishioka using the trolley to hide his presence. Conan reveals that the plot of Miwako's novel is actually based on Kitagawa and Nishioka, who are the conartists that decieved an old man and stole his fortune, and once the police contact the victim of the case it will be a decisive evidence against them.

Motive

Kitagawa confesses that he and Nishioka are the suspects of the case that fled to the hotel after being chased by the authority. In a stroke of bad luck, they met Miwako who managed to deduce his identity as she was once a volunteer who took care of the old man that they had decieved. In exchange for not turning them to the police, Miwaki had Kitagawa tell her every single details regarding the crime, his feeling while committing it, and all of his escapes up until the present. Once he discovered that Miwako had written his and Nishioka's altered story into a novel, he sought to silence her before the final part that contains the fact that they're hiding at the hotel could be published. However, the two have a breakdown, as they realizes that even though they murdered her, their inescapable end cannot be changed, ever.

The solution to Chizu's puzzle is "Pitcher who throws" (ピッチャーで投げる) and "Use the Pitcher" (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo's occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.

The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu's true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.
