Resolution

  Show spoilers »

After giving Ayumi an anathestic for her dental removal, she transported the unconscious girl from her waiting room

to her apartment room. The designs of both rooms are almost identical, and the differences are unlikely to be noticed by the sleepy witness.

To further keep Ayumi occupied as a witness, she woke her up in time to see Kamen Yaiba live, however promptly gave the sleepy child some sleeping pills, instead of pain killers. After Ayumi fell asleep again, she picked her up, and drove her back to her office, and laid her down again.

She woke Ayumi up in time to see the preview for next week's episode of Kamen Yaiba. There was no altering of time, since even Ayumi's family can vouch that she was back at 8:05 PM, and they left right after the previews.

She lets her watch the episode live at her house, but the preview at her office. The evidence that gave her trick away was the placement of the Kamen Yaiba cards in her apartment room.

Older brother Sawaki
	Deceased (kidnapped then killed) 9 years old (26 years ago) Yoko's older brother

Yoko Sawaki killed Nakamoto because 26 years ago he kidnapped and killed her older brother. Due to lack of evidence, the police was forced to released Nakamoto as the only witness was her who was only 6 years old at that time. She confessed to Conan that she wished there was a person like him in the police so that her brother wouldn't have died in vain. Yoko then turned herself in with Conan speculating that the reason she used Ayumi as a witness is because she wanted either Kogoro or Conan to find out the truth, which is what she wanted 26 years ago.

Trivia

• There's a stark contrast between this case's avenger's choice to not kill further after extracting revenge, and the previous case's avenger.
  • In the episode directly before this, Takahashi kills Chikako to avenge Atsuko, and hails himself as a "messenger of justice", before Conan corrects him and reminds him that he was willing to kill an innocent Ran, not for Atsuko's sake, but to protect himself.
  • In this episode, Conan intentionally puts himself in an extreme amount of danger by revealing that he hasn't told anyone about Yoko's trick, or that he went to her home either.
    • He does this to see if she will do the same mistake as Takahashi, but instead Yoko doesn't touch Conan because he is innocent just like Ran was in the previous episode.
    • This allows Conan to not report her to the police with a clear conscience, but since he didn't tell her, she turns herself in because she assumes that he was going to report her and nobody would believe him because he's just a kid, similar to her situation 26 years before this incident.
• This is the first time that Ayumi was used as an alibi/witness.
• This is the first time that a Dentist, and a female one at that was the culprit.
• This is the first time that the Culprit used a change in the Witness's location trick.
• According to Conan, "Culprits use these 3 different kinds f tricks: People, Place, and Time."
• A construction area was used as part of the location trick.
