Harumi Matsuzaki was the culprit. She and Masahiko were step-siblings due to her mom marrying his dad when she was in the 2nd year of high school, but she had a secret crush on him. Conan suspected such things because everyone had referred to Kiwako, Masahiko, and Hiroshi as childhood friends, but didn't include Harumi, which was strange since she and Kiwako are of the same age. Harumi's emotional stability took a nosedive when he decided to marry Kiwako, but when an oblivious Kiwako asked her for help to "prove" Masahiko's love via pretending to drown, Harumi was so upset over Kiwako's selfishness that she decided to kill her by catching a snake, hiding in in her beltbag and then releasing it during the "prank", making it bite Kiwako. The snake was then lost in the sea, but since Harumi had kept it in place with tape, she surely had the tape roll in the beltbag.

Harumi, however, wasn't a bad person. She had hesitated before making her "move", and later was trying to convince herself that everything was for the best, and not managing to, and seemed to be emotionally broken when Masahiko was despairing for Kiwako's well-being. Conan noticed this and decided to reveal the truth via Kogoro only in presence of Ran and Eri, without the group or the police around, so they'd decide later what to do.

When Kiwako was fully healed via the antidote, she spoke to Harumi in private and told her she had decided to keep the attempted murder a secret and not reveal anything to the police. She considered Harumi's attempt on her "karma" for having been insensitive and selfish not only about Masahiko's feelings, but also Harumi's. Harumi was sincerely touched by Kiwako's forgiveness, and cried in relief.

Trivia

• Eri Kisaki's vehicle is a Cyan 1990 Rover Mini Cooper MkV [ADO20].
• The victim and all of the suspects are university students.
• The victim and all of the suspects are Diving Club Members.
• This is the first if not the only episode to show a sea snake danger.
• This is the first episode to take place at Izu beach, which is more of a peninsula with lots of beaches.
• Izu Peninsula is in Shizuoka Prefecture.
• Ice Tea has Tannin. "The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." according to Eri.
• Normally, it is Ran's who ends up calling the police, however this time, Conan ran to Kogoro and Eri and told them to call the ambulance, while he grabbed the tea to help treat the poisonous snake bite.
• While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."
• Ran identified the Erabu SeaSnake as the snake that she saw in the ocean.
