The Case
Conan, Heiji, Kogoro, Ran, and Kazuha visit the solitary Isle of Mermaids, in the high seas off Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture, looking for Saori Kadowaki, who had sent a letter to Heiji asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid. In secret Heiji confines to Conan that the letter was meant for Shinichi despite being send to Heiji's address. But when they try to look for Saori she has been reported missing. They decided to talk with Saori's childhood friend Kimie, who is the elder's great-granddaughter. Rokuro Fukuyama the fisherman is Toshimi's fiancé. Those two along with Naoko, a shop clerk, are also childhood friends with Saori. They don't seem concerned over Saori's disappearance, but that's because Saori often left home, when she had argued with her father. Every year on this island a festival is held where three people win the Dugong Arrow that is said to wield immortality to its carrier. Saori won one last year, but have lost it and had since been paranoid about being curse by mermaids up until her disappearance. Kimie offer Ran and Kazuha each a ticket to the lottery, since a couple called off, and promise to take them to Saori's house after the festival. During the festival Kazuha wins an arrow, which she receives along with Naoko and Saori's father Benzo. The festival is brought to a disastrous end when one of the winners is found dead hanging down the waterfall.

The Deduction
Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on mermaid island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. Three years ago a warehouse got burned down and a half body was discovered missing its legs. The police from the coast said that the body was of a middle age woman, and concluded that it might have been a tourist, who snuck into the warehouse to look for a dugong arrow and accidently started the fire. The deceased was never identified. But rumors had been going around that it was a body of a mermaid. The year after the incident, the bones were buried on the island, but later moved into the forest on orders from the Elder due to grave robbers who had stolen bones from the grave. In myth it was believed that bones of a mermaid grant long life. It was that incident that made the Elder famous around the country. Naoko suggest that Toshimi had been looking for the grave, and Kimie confirms that Toshimi often spoke of it. While investigating two more murders occur. First Naoko being strangled and her arrow is missing. The only connection between the three women, beside being childhood friends, is that they all three believed in the power of the arrow, and that the Elder was immortal. Heiji and Conan decides to take a look at the book with the names and numbers for those who anticipated in the festival's lottery, but the most recent one is missing. While Kimie goes out to search for it. Heiji and Conan takes a look at the old ones. Conan finds a name, Shiho Miyano, and remembers that it was Haibara's real name, but doubts that's her. Then Kimie gets burned in the warehouse near the shrine. After the corpse's identity is determent by dental records, Rokuro breaks down crying and the 'Elder' takes to her bed muttering about seeing young life dying, while she still lives. The group splits up, Heiji and Kazuha goes out searching for Benzo, while Rokuro takes the rest to Saori's house, so Ran can see a picture of Saori and determent if she was the woman, she and Kazuha saw. After searching a bag for travel in the house Conan realizes that something is missing. He reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is, relay his theory, and asks him to meet up later, but later Heiji and Kazuha fall off a cliff after they discovered the much-talked-about grave. At the grave Heiji sees that someone has visited it recently and begins to wonder if Conan's solution was correct.

Manga to anime changes
- In the manga when Kimie is removing her mask, she takes it off easily unlike in the anime where she removed the mask slowly for dramatic effect.
Remastered version
On November 5, 2007, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were heavily edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot. This was called a "Fall Mystery Version" of the episodes.
Trivia
- The names of the characters are thought to be derived from the Seven Lucky Gods: Saori Kadowaki (門脇 沙織) = Bishamonten (毘沙門天); Toshimi Ebihara (海老原 寿美) = Ebisu (恵比寿) + Jurōjin (寿老人); Naoko Kuroe (黒江 奈緒子) = Daikokuten (大黒天), 奈 contains the 大 part; Kimie Shimabukuro (島袋 君恵) = Hotei (布袋) + Ebisu (恵比寿); Rokurō Fukuyama (福山 禄郎) = Fukurokuju (福禄寿); Benzō Kadowaki (門脇 弁蔵) = Bishamonten (毘沙門天) + Benzaiten (弁財天); Mikoto Shimabukuro (島袋 弥琴) = Hoteison (布袋尊) + Miroku Bosatsu (弥勒菩薩), Hotei is also called Hoteison and 尊 (respect) has the kun reading of "Mikoto". He was considered to be a manifestation of Miroku.
- Bikuni Island is also thought to be named after Yao Bikuni, a legend that originated in Fukui Prefecture about a nun who ate the flesh of a mermaid and became long-lived.
- Shiho Miyano's name shows up in one of the guestbooks logging past contestants for the arrows, as well as Gin and Vodka's names, Jin Kurosawa (黒澤 陣)[1] and Saburō Uokka (魚塚 三郎), whose can to see very well in opening 50.

- ^ Gin's name is only drawn as "Sawa" (澤) in the manga, and only half "Kuro" (黒) is drawn in the anime episode: thus, even if the manga and anime depictions are combined, only the last name Kurosawa is recognizable. The full name Jin Kurosawa (and that it is his real name) was first revealed in an interview with Gosho Aoyama in Love♥Conan: Conan Official Fan Book for Girls, published by Shogakukan on March 1, 2004 in Japan.
- ^ Some say that these names are derived from the Seven Lucky Gods and Japanese actors and film directors: Jin Kurosawa = a romanization of "Gin" + Akira Kurosawa; Saburō Uokka = Sanjūrō Tsubaki, Sanshirō Sugata (Akira Kurosawa's films and their protagonists), Saburō Kadowaki, or Saburō Iketani + a romanization of "Vodka"; Masaaki Nakatani = Masaaki Tachibana; Chiezō Ebisu = Chiezō Kataoka + Ebisu; Rentarō Daikoku = Rentarō Mikuni + Daikokuten; Keiji Toyoda = Keiji Sakakida + Shirō Toyoda.
- ^ It can also be read as Nakaya.
- ^ It can also be read as Ōguro.
- ^ Someone noticed that this surname is also the name of the building exploded in Game Company Murder Case.
- ^ It can also be read as Toyota.
- ^ Someone noticed that this surname appears also in the APTX victims list.
- ^ It can also be read as Kinhide.
- ^ The Japanese name of the single character "Na" is unnatural, so it is assumed that there is a character following it. Some theories suggests it might be written Katsuki Doitō (土井塔 克樹), an anagram used by Kaitou Kid in Magic Lover's Murder Case, suggesting Kid maybe has wanted to steal the Dugong arrow. Another one suggests it is written Ruri Doigaki (土井垣 瑠璃), an actress who is Kogoro and Eri's childhood friend in The Unseen Suspect.
