Hyde's right thumb was poisoned when he went to turn off a burner that the killer had turned on. The switch on the burner had poison on it which rubbed off on his thumb. When he returned to count his bills he locked the doors and windows. The killer knew that Hyde licked his finger to separate the bills so that was how Hyde poisoned himself. The killer was Allison Summer. When the police came Allison used bleach to wipe the burner switch clean and Conan used iodine to prove that her handkerchief was soaked in bleach. Her boyfriend had borrowed money from Hyde but couldn't pay it back so he hung himself. He took the loan so that Allison could have a heart operation. She worked for Hyde in order to plan her revenge and kill him.
