Resolution

The culprit is Tomofumi Minami. The bomb was actually not contained in the golf ball Eisuke Tachibana hit but rather the golfball that was already stuffed into the driver head he was using. He was the only one who could do it as he was supposedly repairing some shaft damages on Tachibana's driver for two nights. The ball they discovered at the crime scene was just a substitute. He planned to frame Yasui for the murder by faking a stomach ache and then having him collect the ten balls Tachibana would use, then having him leave the explosion as the only uninjured suspect. His motive for killing his boss was that his talent in the company was never respected. He framed Yasui for sucking up to the boss all the time and getting preferential treatment. He claimed he did not care if innocent people died but he actually saved Conan from the explosion at the last minute.
