Resolution

Conan confirms it is a murder and investigates the ashtray of the green SUV and finds the same cigarette brand as the one Hayami smoked. After tranquilizing Kogoro, Conan announces that Seiji Kurumatani planned the murder. He reveals Kurumatani, who is an auto mechanic, was repairing Hayami's red classic car and was lending Hayami his green car during the time. After the repairs were finished, he called Hayami to the convenience store so they could trade cars. Before arriving there, Kurumatani adjusted a billboard at the intersection where the collision would soon occur. The adjustment caused the billboard to reflect headlamp lights creating glare for Hayami which caused the accident. Kurumatani confesses to the murder and reveals that Hayami ran over his sister a year ago. When Hayami's car came into repairs, he knew Hayami was the murderer and began his plan for revenge.
