Tomoko tearfully said that she suspected Dr. Tanaka of being the killer, and she was right. Tanaka killed poor Mitsuko since she was his girlfriend at the time, but he had been offered a very good arranged marriage to his boss's beautiful daughter. Thinking that Mitsuko's presence would ruin an alliance that would further his career, he decided to get her out of the way definitely.

Tanaka brought a floating ring and hid it, then called Mitsuko for a date. He drugged Mitsuko and took her to the seaside; then he tied up a boulder to her bare feet, put the floating ring around her and left her ashore. The waves took the still unconscious Mitsuko inside the sea and soon she was at the bottom of the sea, unable to escape and ultimately drowning. Meanwhile, Tanaka was out drinking with other friends of his (and with Kogoro, Ran and Conan around as well), and this was his alibi.

* tying Mitsuko's feet in a way that, when photos were compared to Ran doing likewise under orders of Conan-via-Kogoro, was highly suspicious. They were tied up with the string's ends towards her toes, instead of the other way round; that was a proof that she had not tied the boulder to her own body, but somebody else had done so.
