Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The killer is Kazushi Nakamichi. He and Yumi had been dating for years, yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals no matter howm many times he begged her. However, as soon as he got engaged to the daughter of his boss, Yumi got so jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamichi with private photos that she threatened to send to his fiancé. The school reunion was supposed to be the last time they'd see each other, to settle their deals.

As soon as the others were out of sight, Nakamichi took the photos from Yumi's purse, confronted her and shot her in the head (with the gun that had been missing in the bank robbing case, which he stole) so she wouldn't ruin his married life, and tricked everyone (except for Conan, and later Kogoro) into thinking that Yumi had commited suicide, taking also advantage of how Yumi had mentioned that she did want to kill herself due to depression and her really bad economic situation. Unfortunately, what Nakamichi didn't count on was accelerated rigor mortis, caused by exercising before dying; he played ping-pong with Yumi before killing her, but had to leave the room to make up an alibi when Conan and Ran were drawing close. Because Yumi held a ping-pong racket with her index finger pointing out, it was impossible to move it around the trigger of the gun once rigor mortis settles in.

Conan wanted to drug Kogoro to expose Nakamichi, but when he was about to do so, he heard Kogoro angrily talking to himself and swearing to resolve the case no matter what. Conan was so moved by Kogoro's sincerity that instead of making him sleep, he limited himself to subtly give him the pointers he needed to fully uncover Nakamichi's guilt. Nakamichi admitted to being the killer, explained why he killed Yumi, and then angrily attacked Kogoro... who then easily used a Judo throw to immobilize him. Nakamichi says Kogoro is still as strong as ever but Kogoro denies it, saying that Nakamichi became weaker.

Afterwards, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran meet with Yumi who hopes to see all of them at the reunion. Meanwhile the culprit sneaks onto the scene to steal the gun used by the robber (though the culprit's not revealed until Part 2).
