Into the eerie darkness of the Pirates' Cave.

Conan proves that Kogoro did not kill the caretaker. Next, Conan enters the cave to show that the sounds were from the wind in the tunnels. But before he can Suzu finds him and threatens to tell, unless conan kisses her that is. So after a quick peck on the cheek they both head into the cave. Conan finds a staircase which breaks away to reveal another dead man and the killer. Conan deduces that the ghost ship was stuck in this part of the cave for seven years due to a cave-in.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Goro Kinoshita. Kouji Hamada was originally one of the Ryuujinmaru’s shipmates who killed the captain and threw Uehara, who was also a crew member of the Ryujinmaru, overboard to keep the gold for himself and set up an identity as the island's new lighthouse keeper, whose name is apparently Aoki. Kinoshita captured and tortured him for the ship's location, later killing him. He then attempted to frame Kogoro for the murder, to no avail as Conan as Kogoro proved his innocence. He then killed Uehara to prevent him from getting the spoils as well.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Shiki Island Victims: Conan Edogawa and Suzu Mikami Cause: Shooting Culprit: Goro Kinoshita Goro Kinoshita attempted to kill Conan and Suzu after they had stumbled onto the body of his newest victim.

Conan deduces the gunshot wound he received from Uehara was in fact self-inflicted, the evidence is his scorched skin that had been scorched, and that there was a gunpowder burn, indicating indirect close range fire. For Uehara the gunshot was on the wrong side of his head, including the gun that placed in the wrong hand. Shortly after, Conan after distracting Kinoshita kicks one of the bricks on the floor knocking him out. As the same time revealing the "bricks" were actually the gold along, as the gold had been covered in moss due to it being hidden in the cave for so long.

Motive

His motive was for the missing billion yen gold on the Shiki Island Ghost Ship. The gold however was buried in the rubble thus allowing the islanders to live in peace believing their debt had been paid and the curse was over.

Translation changes

Anime

• The names of the characters and places in the Funimation Dub are:

• Goro Kinoshita - Edmund Hanratty
• Takeo Mikami - Chief Mikami
• Yasuo Uehara - Rex Lager
• Kouji Hamada - Hank Hamada
• Ryuujinmaru - Ryumaru
• Water Army Reference Hall - Museum of Nautical History

• In the Venus Arabic Dub, Since they remove anything about alcohol, Instead of saying that Kogoro got drunk on "juice". They opted to say that he gets dizzy whenever he smells gasoline making it a plot point in which made Conan figure out the exploding ball.
• The backing track and vocals and lyrics for Kimi ga Ireba are changed, likely due to copyright issues. This would also be the case in The Time-Bombed Skyscraper and The Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case, though in The Fourteenth Target, the original backing track is used, with the English dub lyrics.

Trivia

• This is the first two-part anime original episode.
