Now, the question remains, when could he have been killed? My deduction points to when they started searching for him the FIRST time, and the only one who was alone that time was Banba Reiko(waitress).
Here's what I'm thinking:
- Her Plan was to frame Higo and Yoko. But in order to do so, she had to avoid Higo making contact with asuka, while he's still alive, so she intentionally spilled the wine on their table in order to take Higo's phone when she was changing the table cloth. She already knew beforehand that he usually placed his phone on the table(from former visits) and that yoko always forgot that her phone battery was low(from the internet, like kogoro mentioned in 925).
- After snatching his phone she texted asuka with Higo's phone to secretly meet him in the storeroom. then when they started to look for him around 7 a clock, she went to the storeroom and killed him with the penknife she had taken before from the backroom. after killing him she took asuka's phone, in order to lure higo and yoko to the basement later, and also his shoes(when she was walking up the stairs we couldn't see her right hand so it's possible she was holding something). before returning the keys into it's original place she went to the backroom and left the shoes there, then returned to the others with the key and put it back on the wall.
- after 10 min, she went to look on the backroom, she put the shoes close to the couch and took out all the jackets from the locker and put them under the blanket to make it look like asuka was sleeping on the couch. when the others once again left after she showed them stuffed blanket, she entered the backroom again and put the jackets back in the locker, then went back and returned the key to it's original place. 10 min later, she sent text with asuka's phone to kounoe Yasuto(waiter) to bring Higo and Yoko to the storeroom so that they can be framed.
- Proof for that he was never sleeping in the couch is the fact that was found dead on the storeroom without shoes on. Someone who likes cleanliness wouldn't walk to a storeroom with his bare socks. The reason for taking his shoes was so that she could create her fake alibi when making the others believe that he took off his shoes in the backroom and went to sleep.
Motive
Probably because of a break-up or something worse he did to her.
Unsolved Issues
- Don't know how she was able to make sure that Yamada Akimichi(Sommelier) didn't enter the storeroom, but she was sure that wouldn't enter, maybe because of certain behavior he has.
- the wine stain on the blanket and jacket could've gotten there from Higo's phone(that got soaked after touching the wet part of the tablecloth when she was changing it) but I'm not sure how the small hole got there, could be with the help of the ''convenient object'' Conan was referring to.
What I think is an Important hint:
- the shoes in the locker
- ''accidental'' spill of wine
- small hole and stain on blanket and jacket
- cleanliness behavior of asuka
- Higo's and asuka's phone disappearing
- the knowledge of yoko always forgetting to charge her phoneSpoiler:If you read FILE 926 pg 11, megure asked the sommelier(Yamada) if he found anything while searching in the storeroom, The sommelier(Yamada) answered, according to the translation, that he was indeed absent, that he only called out from the doorway with the waiter(Kounoe) but they never got any response!(proving that he wasn't even alone when looking there, or so I've interpreted it)
I said on my last post, if you look under ''unsolved issues'', that the way she made sure that they didn't enter to look is still a mystery to me, but I still believe she used some trick...
Spoiler:
In this image from 925, you can clearly see that Yamada searched the Storeroom alone, as Kounoe was searching the restroom. What he says to Megure does not line up with what was already shown to us. So he is either lying to Megure, or the room that they were talking about might have been mistranslated. The "Store room" is the room in the downstairs basement. The "Staff room" on the main floor also seems to be refereed to as "the back room". The room that Yamada and Kounoe entered together was the "Staff room" during the first search.

I tip my hat to you.
), and giving the Sommelier a really angry glare after she found the evidence. I don't think she's ever been that angry at a culprit. Correct me if I'm wrong.
