It turns out the culprit (Matasaburo Saika) was not trying to kill Ai and Mitsuhiko, but trying to save them from the wrath of Junbei the bear. She (the bear) had been stalking the kids because they had befriended one of two cubs Junbei had had that year, the other one had been killed by the murdered hunter in order to lue Junbei out in the open.

Junbei had saved the killer from freezing to death when he had broken both his legs hunting for Junbei, and the rescue team, mistaing Junbei's intentions and thinking she had wanted to eat him, had taken out her eye when saving him. Since then he had been trying to keep her safe.

Ai's clue when telling Conan about the culprit was a set of mushrooms on a stick, the was they were mounted mimicking the way the suspects were carrying their rifles. But it had not been the poisonous mushroom out of the three buf the type Agasa had earlier called 'the culprit'.
