Miharu Tomino (Case Closed)

Miharu Tomino (Sayuri Sadaoka) is a hidden villainess from "The Mysterious Passenger", episode 9.17 and 9.18 of Case Closed (airdates April 16 and 23, 2001, manga	volume 29: Files 3-5). She was a passenger aboard a bus that was suddenly hijacked by a pair of men, who were threatening to kill a hostage every hour unless the police released their leader Kunio Yashima, a jewelry broker who had been arrested for robbery.
Conan Edogawa was aboard the bus with his friends and attempted to use his earring phone to call for help, but was caught by one of the hijackers. This allowed for Conan to realize that one of the three passengers in the back of the bus was also involved in the hijacking, as the hijacker could've only known about his actions if he was alerted by a third partner. Later on, Conan came to realize that Miharu was the third accomplice after the hijackers agreed to release three hostages after Yashima was released from prison, with the men deciding to take Miharu as a "hostage".
While the men claimed they were going to release three hostages after learning that Yashima was released from prison, the three hijackers intended to flee the bus posing as hostages while using bombs they planted in ski bags to kill their hostages, with the two men having disguised passengers Tomoaki Araide and Shuichi Akai in their ski clothes to frame them as the hijackers. With help from his friends, Conan was able to subdue and disarm the hijackers, and had Araide restrain Miharu due to realizing the bomb's activation switch was on her watch. But as Miharu was restrained, she came to realize that she'd accidentally hit the switch after the bus came to a sudden stop (part of Conan's plan to subdue the hijackers) and that the bombs were prepared to go off. After the passengers fled the bus in time to avoid the explosion, Miharu was placed under arrest, with Conan revealing to Jodie Saintemillion that he'd deduced that she used her chewing gum to tell her male cohorts whenever a hostage was doing something, blowing a bubble to get their attention and pulling her gum in the direction of the passenger who was doing something suspicious.
