Later, while Ayumi and Zenda are searching for Zenda's earring, Conan, Haibara, and Rumi find Fukikoshi's body under the tree just next to the rear of the car.

Yamamura arrives and investigates the scene. He finds out that when the Detective Boys took a photo immediately after arriving, there was no corpse under the tree. Yamamura's assistant then reveals that Fukikoshi is a marriage swindler wanted by the police.

Meanwhile, Ayumi is searching for a four-leaf clover, which was found while she was searching for Zenda's earring. Ayumi plans to give the clover to Zenda as a lucky charm. Hearing that, Rumi recalls Kohji Haneda's dead body and covers her right eye.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan has no choice but to tranquilize Yamamura in front of Rumi. Maika Zenda didn't have to drag the body while the kids were there, since she had already done so hours ago. She parked her car in front of the body, just as Yamamura speculated, but the body wasn't seen since it was hidden by the cardboard boxes she had asked the Detective Boys to place on the window since they were taking place in the van. She said they were used for her moving in with her would be husband, but were in fact only used for her trick. She then took the picture with the kids and used it as proof that the body wasn't next to rear of the van. While everyone was picking wild plants, she would expect them to grow thirsty, so she purposely left the refreshments in the car. She then volunteered to head back to the car when everybody started to be thirsty. She also asked Ayumi to go with her to establish her alibi. Arrived at the car, she would pretend to have lost her earring to force the two of them to crouch and search the ground for it, and she would use the occasion to move the car without even starting the engine. Previously, before leaving the car, she set the gear to neutral, so that the front wheel doesn't get locked in and she can just move the car by pushing the wheel, which is evidenced by the fact that she has more mud on the back her sleeves than on her arms. The use of Ayumi for establishing the alibi is also because she is short, and a tall person would be able to notice her meddling with the back of the wheel. After moving it, she successfully made the corpse visible to everyone. They wouldn't suspect that the car moved since she parked it next to two identical trees. Proof that the car moved is the four-leaf clover that Ayumi was looking for and that was now hidden. It was in fact under the front wheel, which shouldn't be the case, if she didn't move the car.

Aftermath

Ayumi then decides to give the four-leaf clover to Rumi. However, after Ayumi turns around, she silently throws away the clover, and Conan stares at her suspiciously.
