The killer was Tonoyama, and Yayoi was "the other woman" in his marriage. She apparently didn't know that Tonoyama was a married man so she angrily started to demand for marriage, and he decided to kill her before his wife found out she was cheated on. In his anger, Tonoyama attacked Eri but she used judo to pin him down, which allows the police to catch him.

After that, Conan uses his child-like looks to try force Wakaoji reveal that he wanted to have sex with the girl he was waiting for, thinking said girl was Ran. To his surprise, it wasn't Ran... but it was someone they knew: Sonoko, who angrily calls him out. Conan is confused, and then Ran and Eri meet up.
