After inspecting the newly built house for Sick building syndrome, Conan finds out that Akio Yoshino did something to the car. They later catch him spraying poison into the ventilation system of the car, although he tries to play this off as spraying air freshener into her car. Ran reveals that she called a detective that is a friend of hers to analyze the contents of the spray bottle. As Akie panics, Chie appears from behind the front door having heard everything causing both Akie and Chie to break down. He reveals that his company pressured him along with his desire for a car, as a result he tried to make her death look like an accident so he could get the insurance money that he took out on her. After Akio is arrested, Chie gets divorced, and her maiden name is revealed to be Chie Taniguchi. She is revealed to be working in a new shop with a new friend.
