## Plot overview[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Tomokawa&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Plot overview")]
Her interview with a bombing witness, recovered at Beika Central Hospital, allows the police to identify the bomber, and her ultra realistic sketch by itself is able to prove murderous intent by getting correct details other sketch artists may have missed. This alone allowed [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") to fully establish an otherwise impossible to prove intent.
