Resolution
The target wasn't Kanae, but Kogoro Mouri all along.
Kanae Kaetsu planned to lead him around by the nose and wait for the best time to kill him. The locations that the fictional robber had put were in fact the most memorable places she went to with her boyfriend Ryoji Nagakura. It turned out that the attempted murders on Kanae were just mere accidents by bystanders. Kanae wanted to kill Kogoro because he cornered Ryoji and had him arrested, which led to his suicide. She decided to kill him the day he died, but waited till her mother died, just a week ago. She takes out her knife and plants it in the tree.
