Episode 218: Megure's Locked Away Secret (Part 2)
Scenario: It is revealed that all the victims were in their cars before being attacked. Sonoko, wearing platform boots, goes to use the bathroom, unaware of the killer following her. Conan gives his theory and declares that Yoshio Sadakane is the killer; since he is a security guard, he can observe who was wearing platform boots. Due to Tae being a minor when she killed Akira, Yoshio could not track her name and address due to the law. He became enraged and attacked any girl fitting Tae’s physical description. Yoshio prepares to murder Sonoko but Megure shields her and takes the blow to the head. After receiving a stern lecture about his actions and crime from a profusely bleeding Megure, Yoshio confesses; all he wanted was for Tae Aizawa to apologize for killing his son, Akira. Afterwards, Megure reveals a case in the past which is why he was so anxious. In the past a man was attacking girls with long skirts and a girl offered to be a decoy; she was badly injured along with Megure, leaving scars on both of them. The girl is revealed to be Midori, Megure's wife in the future.
The investigation continues, and when the policemen accidentally drop Aizawa's shoe and cannot put it back on since it doesn't fit, Conan deduces that the killer took her shoes away to hide how he was tracking and attacking girls with similar footwear. Since all of the girls attacked were gyarus, he also deduces that Aizawa was using platform boots, which are very popular among them. Sato hears this and says that a year ago, in the incident that took the life of little Akira Sakurai, Aizawa was supposedly wearing platform footwear; the boy's parents told this to the judge and said that was the reason why Aizawa didn't step properly on the brake and ended up hitting him. Supposedly wearing these boots cause the brake to take longer time. Megure sends out Takagi to find more info about the accident, and then tells the others to seek for the culprit who is still not too far from them.
After discussing some more details, Takagi returns and confirms the information already given. Conan and Ran see that Sonoko isn't with them; Ran mentions that Sonoko was supposed to go to the car and then to the restroom, and then Conan realizes that Sonoko was wearing platform boots, like all the victims. Ran calls Sonoko to her cellphone, and Sonoko says she's looking for a safe way out since the lights are out.
