The Murder

Conan visits the Southern Island with Kogoro, Ran, Heiji, and Kazuha, only to realise that yet another case was available for them to solve and this time, it was a case written on the beach.

Heiji and Kogoro are invited to Okinawa to solve the case of a body that was found on Onikame (鬼亀 , lit. Demon Turtle) island alongside a mysterious carved message by the body.

Dead Man and His Mysterious Message
	Location: Onikame Island Cause of death: Starvation

The deduction battle between the two shall be televised in order to boast the declining tourism of Okinawa. Heiji, Conan, Ran, and Kazuha head to the island to investigate and are accompanied by four TV station employees. They find the mysterious message as "The sleeping place of a princess shall be Kō and not Otu" where Kō and Otu could stand for multiple meanings. When Yoshie Taira is found strangled from rope, the dying message "I am a Servitor of Goosoh", Heiji realises she must have found something and dives into the water only to find an anchor.

A message is left next to the body.

When they prepare to head back, they find out the captain left with the boat, stranding them on the Onikame. They decide to wait in an abandoned house until a rescue boat arrives.

The Investigation

Heiji tells them the Anchor he found was approximately four to five years old, the same time period on which the strange events have been occurring on Onikame. It began with the mayor's daughter, Miyako Kenshiro, who was kidnapped and a year after that, burglars broke into the mayor's house stealing his byōbu and murdering a maid. The burglars had been the same people who were responsible for the kidnapping. In both incidents the mayor refused to pay ransom, and Miss Miyako and the byōbu are still missing today. They decide to search the house in case the culprit was hiding in one of the rooms and come upon evidence that Miyako lived in the house when she was young. After finding the house secure, they await for a boat. In the middle of the night, a boat crashes onto the pier. They investigate and find out it was their boat from before and that the captain was beaten to death.

	Location: Onikame Island Victim: Takashi Shimoji Age: 38 years old Cause of death: Blunt force trauma Suspects: Masao Taketomi, Yoshitsugu Kume, Noburo Ikema, and Mikihiko Daito Kazuha and Ran see a boat crashed into the pier. They saw the dead captain beaten and hanging on the crashed boat.

They find out the boat was set on autopilot and realize that the culprit of the murders is actually one of the four TV staff members with them.

The Resolution

When Conan and Heiji find the name "Kaa" and "Chi" written by Miyako many years ago, they realize who the names are referring to. Conan and Heiji have an epiphany and realize the culprit faked Taira's time of death. Heiji then calls Yoshitsuga Kume, one of the staff members, so they could talk privately.

Heiji reveals that Taira actually died much later. He reveals that the message written in sand was actually in a place the waves never reached. He reveals that the water, creating the idea that the message would be washed away when the tides raised, was from the boat which was searching around the island. Heiji reveals the man who was found dead on the island was part of the robber who invaded the mayor's house and the dying message refers to the treasure and Kō and Otsu refer to the folklore Urashima Tarō where Kō stands for the turtle while Otu stands for princess. The princess the inscription refers to is the stolen byōbu. Heiji also reveals Taira was actually Miyako Kaneshiro in disguise. Daito confesses to the murder revealing that the maid the robbers murdered was his fiance, nicknamed "Kaa-chan" by Miyako because her surname was from Matsumoto Castle, the famous Japanese black place known as "Crow Castle". Daito also revealed that Miyako was testing her father's love for her who was revealed to be her step-father, and when she faked the kidnapping and her father refused to pay the ransom, stole the byōbu in vengeance. When Daito left his job, the mayor asked him to not dive into the matter and blames himself for the incidents. Daito accepts that the mayor might have been right about that this case was a box that never should have been open.

Manga to anime changes

• In the manga, Kazuha's belief that Kogoro would launch a rescue mission to get everybody off the island was followed with Heiji and Conan voicing their disbelief, then finished with a cut to Kogoro having dinner with Hyogo Kaneshiro. In the anime, Heiji and Conan's response was switched after the cut made to Kogoro.
