Resolution

Conan confirms it is a murder and investigates the ashtray of the green SUV and finds the same cigarette brand as the one Hayami smoked. After tranquilizing Kogoro, Conan announces that Seiji Kurumatani planned the murder. He reveals Kurumatani, who is an auto mechanic, was repairing Hayami's red classic car and was lending Hayami his green car during the time. After the repairs were finished, he called Hayami to the convenience store so they could trade cars. Before arriving there, Kurumatani adjusted a billboard at the intersection where the collision would soon occur. The adjustment caused the billboard to reflect headlamp lights creating glare for Hayami which caused the accident. Kurumatani confesses to the murder and reveals that Hayami ran over his sister a year ago. When Hayami's came to repair his car at Kurumatani's shop, he recognized the car and decided to meet up with him at the convenience store so he could make him turn himself in but Hayami denied it and refused to which made Kurumatani angry and wanting to execute his plan. Kurumatani asks him how he realized he was the murderer and Kogoro replies that it was because he was looking in the rear window at Hayami for all the time and focusing on crashing his car onto Hayami's without even looking at nature's beauties right in front of him which was represented by the rainbow in front of his windshield that he didn't even manage to see. Michida approves and Kurumatani regrets his act.
