Resolution
The culprit is Arimasa Dobashi. While 'disinfecting' the area, he had had plenty of time to study the special climatic peculiarities of the lake valley, including the directions the wind would take, and its property to send any lost boaters drifting towards the island. After showing himself to Ran and Conan at the lake's edge when the fog hit the area, he used a motorboat he had prepared beforehand to get to the island and prepare his ambush.
Dobashi's aim was to kill Ryo Haneki as his primary target, and Reina Sawazaki and Kogoro to make it look like an escalation of the two actresses' rivalry. His motive is that one month ago his daugther attempted to audition for a role in the drama and was denied by the jury, of which Haneki was a member; out of desparation she had tried to kill herself the next day. However, the judge who cut her from the role was not Haneki, who had been sick on that day, but Sawazaki, who had taken Haneki's place in the panel of judges. Reina had learned about Miss Dobashi's suicide attempt and visited her in the hospital, something Dobashi had missed in his single-minded lust for revenge.
The story ends with the news that Ryo Haneki quits acting before her agency can fire her, and establishes her own production agency, with Sawazaki being one of her primary actresses. It is also revealed that Kogoro's ultimate motive for his training was to become a bodyguard for Yoko Okino.
