Reiko learns from Eri the possibility it was a murder made to look like a suicide by Mariko. Conan and Kogoro investigate and confirm that Hiroaki was murdered. During the hearing, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and, with supporting evidence, reveals Mariko Takeuchi to be the cause of the Hit and Run and that she murdered Hiroaki. The court ends and charges Mariko with the Hit and Run and opens a case involving her homicide.
