Resolution

  Show spoilers »

In the end, after witnessing a bombing and discovering two dead bodies, Conan solves the case, realizing there were two separate culprits: one as the bomber, and one as the murderer. It was revealed that Nagisa Isogai is Kanou's daughter and that Minoru Ebina was romantically involved with Toji Samezaki's daughter, Yoshimi, who was shot and killed during the robbery twenty years ago, and whom Samezaki recognizes as a young man who was sobbing uncontrollably all through her funeral. Since then, Ebina had been trying to find the robbers and planned to use a bomb to kill all of them in revenge for killing his beloved Yoshimi. Fortunately, the bomb was discovered by Conan and was detonated 100 yards from the ship.

The murderer/culprit is Sadao Kujirai. He entered the ship as an old man to create an illusion that Kanou, the Organizer of the Shadows, was on board. He then proceeded with his plans and invited Teruyoshi Kameda to the maintenance room where he was killed. He hid the body in a box at the rear of the ship. He then came back to the group and arranged a meeting with Korehisa Kanie, who he drugged. He took Kanie's watch and clothes and placed them on Kameda to make it appear that Kanie was the burned corpse.

Heiji had inadvertently found Kanie's body, and Kujirai tried to kill him as a result Heiji was thrown overboard.

During the commotion with the ship's flag burning and the box with the corpse exploding, Kujirai placed Kanie's body at the front of the ship. After watching everyone's movements and setting up what appeared to be a gunshot at the back, he proceeded to kill Kanie in the front. He then acted as though he was being targeted and told the detectives he'd tell them everything he knew. They were about to begin the interrogation when Kanie allegedly attacked them. It appeared as though Kujirai had been shot in the arm, though that was also a set up by Kujirai who had shot himself earlier when he killed Kanie. He placed a tennis ball under his arm right away to clog the artery so the wound would appear more authentic, slowing the blood flow and making the wound appear more recent than it actually was. Kujirai acted like Kanie was behind everything and that his death was a suicide. After he, Kanie, and Kameda murdered Saizo Kano, his motive for killing his accomplices was to usurp all the money the robbers stole and to spite the dead Kano, who had humiliated Kujirai and viewed him as an idiot.

Samezaki reveals that Kujirai failed because committing murders right after the statute of limitations for the robbery expired makes him now liable for arrest for murder in addition to the original robbery.

Kujirai asked why most of the passagers are people connected to the robbery. Samezaki reveals that the alias used in the paper was in fact the name Saizo Kano, if it, written in kanji, was turned around. Samezaki then said that Kujirai never had a chance to win over Saizo Kano, since he had been fooled for twenty years.

It was noted that Kujirai was from Kansai, revealing why Heiji was called. Also noted is Kujirai's use of cigarettes in order to accomplish the set-ups, such as the burning flag and other scenarios.

In the end, it is revealed that Heiji survived being tossed into the sea. He took off all of his clothes to stop himself from drowning, save for his pants and the charm made by Kazuha, and used a flashlight to make light signals. A local fisherman saw the signals and rescued him.

Trivia

• This is the first episode of the 2000s.
• Ran imitates a scene from Titanic including by saying the famous line "I am king of the world".
• Although this episode is traditionally animated, the ending scene with Heiji and Conan is digitally animated.
• The names of the suspects are related to marine animals: Samezaki (鮫崎) shark peninsula, Kameda (亀田) turtle field, Kanie (蟹江) crab river, Ebina (海老名) shrimp name or famous shrimp, Kujira (鯨井) whale well, and Isogai (磯貝) beach shells.
• The names of some suspects are also related to the sea: Toji has the character for island (島), Nagisa (渚) means beach, and Yoshimi has the character for sea (海).
• In this case, Heiji stated that he never takes money to do his job, so he planned to return the money to the client who hired him.
• Heiji's father always fought Toji Samezaki in kendo matches, and is his friend.
• The statute of limitations for murder in Japan is a mere fifteen years, however apparently the statute of limitations for robbery is twenty years, and the property laws state that if someone is in possession of anything for twenty years, and it is made public (like for example a bank robbery and stolen money in many newspapers and all over the news, where the robbers were never caught, and whose identities are for the most part unknown), and their ownership of said item is uncontested, after the 20th anniversary from the time of the theft, they can keep said item.
• The case name is the same of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major.
