After dinner, Yuko takes them all to her house and there, they find her Shiro strangled with his necktie.

Conan and Eri realize that the chanting of the wake was also a recording. They deduce Shiro was having an affair with another woman at the hotel they had dinner at; they come to the conclusion that when Yuko left the table, she murdered her husband, placed his body in the car and after driving to them to her house, secretly takes her husband's body and places it at the scene where he was soon to be found. As evidence, Eri reveals the parking ticket containing the time and her husband's fingerprints should be found in the car. Yuko confesses and reveals Shiro had an affair with Hajime's wife and angered that her husband would destroy a perfect family, murdered him. Eri reveals that Shiro's affair was not well hidden and deduces Shiro wanted Yuko to find out about the affair as he was envious about her admiration of Hajime. Later that evening, Conan finds out Kogoro used a tape recording to fake a Mahjong game in order to indirectly help Eri solve the case.
