Resolution
Using his gadgets to use Kogoro, Conan reveals that the killer is Yuji.
While Yuji was fiddling with the answering machine to prove he wasn't the killer, with the last of his strength, Denjiro wrote Yuji's name on the drawers for a dying message to prove he was the killer. When Yuji noticed this, he shuffled the drawers then added a few more markings so it couldn't be recognized, and marked the rest of the room so it wouldn't stand out, to erased a dying message from the police's eyes.
Yuji then charged at Kogoro with a sword to kill him, but stopped just when the sword was about to hit deep into Kogoro's head. Yuji claims Kogoro must be very brave to just stay still in the face of death. After Yuji leaves however, Kogoro finally wakes up and notices a tiny cut on his head and freaks out.
Yuji's family had an antique sword that was passed down from generation to generation, but Denjiro sold it. Yuji couldn't control his anger that Denjiro sold his family heirloom, so he gave him the kill.
