Resolution

Conan knocks Sonoko down with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch accidentally which he was targeting for Kogoro when Ran suddenly hugged him from behind. Conan then goes ahead with solving the case as Sonoko instead of Kogoro. Conan as Sonoko's voice then says that the turtle wasn't stolen but had vanished out of sight.

Conan askes for Kogoro's lighter and asks him to drop into the tank, from right above, behind the plate. Kogoro notices that it didn't fall. It's stuck to the plate. According to Sera, the plate is strongly magnetized. Nakamori points out the turtle and jewels wouldn't be attracted to the magnet.

According to Conan: If the diamonds that were around the belly of the turtle were synthetic diamonds. they could have metallic inclusions.

In water, magnetism alone could not hold the turtle in place.

Kogoro sees that the plate has been covered in glue. Nakamori wonders how Kid lured the turtle to the plate.

Conan said that Kid used bait with iron dust. The turtle has an acute sense of smell.

The device that was used to spread the bait came from the chandelier. It was set in motion when the carpet covered up the tank. The length of the turtle is around 10cm and a plate with a large size could easily hide the turtle behind it.

Nakamori wonders why the turtle wasn't still behind the plate. Conan as Sonoko's voice then explains that there is someone who didn't have a body inspection: Jirokichi. Nakamori inspects the inside of Jirokichi's jacket which turn out to be true. Jirokichi then tells Nakamori that he has an explanation why he hid the turtle. Conan as Sonoko's voice then tells that it is the card that Kid send him after the heist with the true text:

"I can't imagine that a turtle covered in synthetic diamonds that got stuck to a magnet is carrying the Blush Mermaid and the name of the turtle is Poseidon, like the sea god from Greek myths. But the owner who was a Italian actress should have named the turtle Neptune after the sea god of the roman myths. If you don't want it known that you spent a small fortune buying a dubious jeweled turtle, then it would be wise if you remove it discretely."

So Kid knew the Blush Mermaid was a fake, and used magnets for his trick.

This explains why Jirokichi was constantly telling them to wrap things up. Kogoro then ask Sonoko what has happened to Kaito Kid. Conan as Sonoko speculates that Kid did everything as a member of the crowd around the entrance.

While leaving, Conan privately exposes Kaitou Kid who is under the disguise of Masumi Sera. When Kid asks how he knew, Conan tells him that it was because of the magnet that he was holding and the trick wouldn't work unless he split everyone into groups to do a body search. Conan notes the clues suggesting Kid thought Sera was a boy. Conan lets Kid go because of the help he gave them during the mystery train case but Sera, who is running in her underwear kicks Kid in the face but before she can catch him he escapes with his hang glider. Sera then tells them that she had gone to the men's restroom where Kid knocked her out with a stun-gun because the ladies room was filled. Sera then asks Ran whether she saw any strange man when she picked up her hat to which Ran asks her why is the hat so special to her. She says that her late brother (referring to Shuichi Akai) used to wear hats like these and she is wearing them to copy Akai. Sera mentions it had the same feel as if he wore it ever since they left the Bell Tree Express Train but there is no way it could be possible.
