Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Goro Kinoshita. His motive was for the missing billion yen gold on the Shiki Island Ghost Ship. Kouji Hamada was originally one of its crew who killed his comrades to keep the gold to himself and set up an identity as the island's new lighthouse keeper. Kinoshita captured and tortured him for the ship's location, later killing him. He then Uehara to prevent him for getting the spoils as well.

Conan deduces the gunshot wound he received from Uehara was self-inflicted given how it only scorched skin and that there was a gunpowder burn (indicating indirect close range fire).
