Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The killer is Kazushi Nakamichi. 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 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; Nakamichi 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. 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.

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).

Dub changes

• The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

• Yukio Ayashiro - Scott Andros
• Yumi Horikoshi - Jamie Hummelford
• Noriko Ayashiro - Nancy Andros
• Kazushi Nakamichi - Craig Newberry
