Resolution

It turns out that Ouzaburo Katayose had committed suicide. His will was then opened, but the will was a cipher Ogito Katayose figured out the cipher and left the house. Nobue Katayose saw him leave and realized he must have figured out the code. She hatched a plot so that he could not claim the inheritance. She took one of the bolts to Ogito's crossbow, made a cut on her sleeve with it, threw his crossbow into Kaede'e treehouse, and screamed in the middle of the forest with the intention of framing Ogito for attacking her. Before Conan arrived however, Ogito had stabbed her with a poison tipped arrow in the back. Eiko Suzaka saw this happen, and followed him to the electric fence. Ogito had turned off the electricity and started climbing to the poles with the mirror attached to them (the inheritance is in there). Eiko turned the electricity backed on, which electrocuted him, and made him fall to his death. She did this because she thought Ogito had murdered Ouzaburo. The inheritance was a ruby for Eiko, and for Kaede to have all of hid money, for Ouzaburo once loved Kaede's mother.
