			==== Motive ====
	The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.

	=== Resolution ===		=== Resolution ===
	<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.		<spoiler>

			The plot of the first movie was intended as a story arc for ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' for a while. [[Gosho Aoyama]] said that he already wrote the plot back in school, and considered it for ''[[Yaiba]]'' once, but it didn't fit the kind of story it was. For ''Magic Kaito'', there wasn't any opportunity to integrate it. When he got told that ''[[Detective Conan]]'' was getting a movie adaptation, he proposed the plot for this project. But he claimed to regret it, as he would have preferred to tell this story in the manga, since the main antagonist [[Teiji Moriya]] was based on James Moriarty.{{citation needed}}

			[[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] was originally designed as a character for ''Magic Kaito'', before becoming a character for ''Detective Conan'', along with the plot he debuted in.
