Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Megure reviews all of the suspects movements before the murder. Kogoro continues to try to blame Higo so Conan tranquilizes him and reveals that the culprit is Akimichi Yamada. He killed Asuka during the second search when he went down to the storage room, then used Higo's and Asuka's phones for the trick, as well as a vacuum, a vacuum compression bag, Asuka's clothes, and the corkscrew from his sommelier's knife. Ai finds a discarded phone and bag to provide the evidence. Yamada killed Asuka because Asuka had discovered that he was a fraud who wanted to expand the business with the extra money he'd accrued by buying cheap wine that he presented as expensive.

Higo and Yoko are not dating each other—the watch they were looking at on the cover of the tabloid article was a mutual gift for a retiring high school teacher of theirs, and they were meeting with Asuka to ask him to write a message on the watch.

Ai is thanked by Higo for finding the evidence, and says he's tempted to have her take Takahiro Sanada's place on Big Osaka. The next day, Ai seems determined to prove herself a soccer player, and is enjoying Yoko's music again.
