Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The killer is Kazushi Nakamishi. He and Yumi had been dating for years yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals; however, as soon as he got engaged to the daughter of his boss, Yumi got so jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamishi with private photos that she threatened to send to his fiancée.

The school reunion was supposed to be the last time they'd see each other; Nakamishi took the photos from Yumi's purse, then 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.

Manga to anime changes

• The manga starts off at the reunion during the moment where Conan and Ran are bathing. The anime starts before the reunion is held with Conan and Ran trying to convince Kogoro to take them. During which a robbery takes place with Kogoro and Conan pursuing the robber. Kogoro is saved when Conan kicks the gun away from the robber. 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).
