Resolution

Conan reveals the culprit to be Kyosuke Haga who murdered both Genzaburo and Ayane at that day. He murdered Genzaburo by starting the fire using a cigarette, and it was revealed that the door was not locked and Kyosuke pretends that it is locked when he tries to open the door. Kyosuke locked the door stealthily while Conan and the others are focused to the fire inside Genzaburo's room. The evidence was found at the lock plate, as only the top part is bent, meaning when the group tries to broke into the room it wasn't locked.

He murdered Ayane by switching the real and fake Stradivarius. When Ayane breaks the fake violin, she heard the music Kyosuke played downstairs. Kyosuke has reserved a violin that is hanged on the window using Genzaburo's command stick that is sticked to the window causing Ayane to think it is the real Stradivarius. She merely wants to grab it, but she fails and fell from the window resulting in her death. The evidence can be found as near Ayane's body, there are the bridge from the violin, and a part of the command's stick. It was also revealed that Kyosuke saved Ayane out of the fire because he doesn't want Genzaburo and Ayane die together in the fire.

Kyosuke reveals that the Stradivarius was originally from his branch of the family. One day, Kyosuke's father was asked by his brother, Choichiro, to borrow the Stradivarius. He then attempts to to send back a replica to Kyosuke's father, but was found out. In an argument, Kyosuke's father falls down the stairs. Choichiro orders his family to not call the ambulance and to staged it as robbery. He even went as far to murder Chinami to silence her. This is the cause of Kyosuke's father's death. Kyosuke know all the truth from Emi two years ago shortly before her accident. Kyosuke then decided to take his revenge and killed Furuto the year after. When it was clear that Choichiro didn't have long to live, he decided to hurry up the killings. But he wanted Hasuki to own the Stradivarus as a gift to one who like himself lost a father. As Kyosuke is taken away, he is a composer who has the perfect pitch so Conan asks him the tune of a song from the cellphone numbers and finds out the boss of the Black Organization's number is the song "Nanatsu no Ko".

Trivia

• In the manga, Emi's fall upturned but in the anime, she falls in reverse position.
• In the manga, Kyosuke only mentioned Aunt Emi dying the way his father did. While in the anime, it's shown she fell down the stairs when she ran out of the room after revealing what happened 30 years ago to Kyosuke.
• Kogoro's vehicle is an Airstream 2002 Nissan Elgrand.
• The Opera song played by Kyosuke Haga is said to be Mozart - Requiem in D minor, K. 626, but it is not.
• This is the case that Conan poured a bucket of water on himself, before running into the fire, and instructed Kogoro to move the van under the window, and although Kogoro grumbled about taking orders from the little boy, he did it, and he only grumbled after he moved the van, so in short, he initially obeyed without question, and only while he was waiting for whatever Conan is planning to happen, then he began questioning. Because he had time to think after moving the van, but not before.
• Although Megure has called Kogoro the "God of Death" multiple times in non-canon, and even once in canon, such as in The Sullied Masked Hero case, this is the first time for him to flat-out call him "Harbinger of Death" to Kogoro's face. Even in The Sullied Masked Hero, it was more of a mumble, and not actually talking to Kogoro at the time. In this case, while talking with Kogoro, he actually called him "Harbinger of Death."
• This is Yukiko's first appearance since Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night, although she only appeared in a flashback, when she was giving little Shinichi some music lessons.
• This is the case that when Takagi was another stand-in for the victim, he asked, "There's something going on. Isn't there?," since bad things have a tendency to happen when he is the victim stand-in, and he is getting use to it, and this time he almost fell out of a window down three stories.
• At the beginning of the case, Conan told Agasa about the area code of Tottori, 0858 may be the first four digits of the Boss's e-mail address, since he heard these 4 digits being dialed in A Course Without Protest, A Code of Stars and Tobacco, and from Vermouth off-screen in Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night, and she added the word "Boss," when she hit send.
• This is another case that showcased Conan being tone-deaf, however it also showed that he does have perfect pitch. At least in regards to knowing the digits of a cell-phone of 0858 do make the sound of the actual musical notes of H-A-G-A on the musical scale. He also knew that the were "Si-La-So-La," as in the Do-re-me song, I think.

• This is the case that Conan learns that the haunting melody that has been haunting him since his run in with Vermouth in Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night, in short, the Boss's e-mail address is in fact, the song Nanatsu no Ko, also called the Seven Children. As further proof that this song is the e-mail dial tone to the Boss of the Black Organization, that when the Kyosuke Haga whistled the song, so that Conan could hear it, Conan became extremely wide-eyed and frightened after he heard the whole song.
