Conan reveals Shuhei Aosato is the name spelt when the Kanji of Fish is removed from the dying message. He reveals Aosato cut Akamine's diving regulator and leaves her on the island after promising he would return with help. After she died Aosato returns and exchanges the regulator to hide the cut and uses Akamine's regulator to leave, causing her lipstick to appear on his face. Aosato confesses his crime and reveals Akamine caused the death of their past companion Yoshirou and he murdered her in revenge.

Aosato then unveils his knife and holds Ayumi hostage demanding an escape route. Subaru disarms him and saves Ayumi from Aosato who is later arrested. Later that night, Subaru is seen drinking bourbon whiskey while being witnessed by Haibara from Agasa's house.

Trivia ==

• There is a flashback to Episode 366-367, when the Detective Boys first saw and helped Futoshi Ejiri when he was poisoned by Mineto Kanetani.
• The french book read by Subaru Okiya, in the post-credits scene, is not a real book. It is, in fact, an article published in a French journal "La Presse" on October 27, 1905. The title was: "Jiu-Jitsu et Boxe - Une Victoire japonaise", which is translated as: "Jujutsu and Boxing - a Japanese victory", featuring a match between Ré-nié and Dubois.
