Resolution
The culprit is the fourth brother
Jirou Kurokawa. There was no way an outsider could have gone on the island when the ferry was not in use and when the harbour was the only possible way of berthing. Thus, it all made sense when the culprit was Jirou, who was unsuspected and could freely move around. The proof is the mist that disappeared on the window in Jirou's room, which proves he left his room to shoot Ichirou. His motive was that he was always bullied by his brothers and that he was the illegitimate son and that Naruse was just a scapegoat to him.

Takumi

Neck broken by fallen luggage?

| Suspects:

Wataru
|
|
Resolution
Conan and the Detective Boys corner Wataru as Takumi's killer. He sat far away from his partner on purpose, so he could pull on a string he attached to the suitcase above Takumi when the train will make a sharp stop. The suitcase would then fall and break Takumi's neck and he would not be suspected since he is too far away. The proof is the marks on the suitcase handles and all the fishing line he has stuck inside his guitar. After the Detective Boys solve the case, they want to appear on the television as the case-solvers, but when the detective asks for their names, Conan, who fears Ran and Kogoro will see him on the television, runs away with the others back inside the train.

Resolution
It turns out the hit and run was not directed at Ran, but towards the
clerk working at Handmade. Some time ago, she helped an old man and the old man wanted to thank her for her deed, so he left her a big chunk of his inheritance. Since the clerk kept refusing the inheritance, the old man wanted to come have her sign the papers the next day. The
old man's relative, who was not happy with that, wanted to eliminate the clerk before she could get sign the papers the next day, but mistook Ran for her, since Ran bought her handmade only-one-in-the-world jacket.

Conan figures this out and goes back to the hospital, where he sees a lot of smoke coming from the men's bathroom. He finds a lot of used cigarettes in there, and figures out the culprit was waiting in the toilet for the curfew to come, so he could kill Ran without being seen, before
she could sign the papers. Conan knocks him out before he can do so by kicking a hospital bed, hurting himself in the process. He thus ends up confined to a hospital bed, just like Ran.

Resolution
Conan figures out that the culprit must find a location to look at all his crimes happen. The only location that stood out was Beika Building, the tallest in the neighborhood. After gathering information from the security guard, he figures out that the culprit can only be part of the cleaning company, since the building is closed on Tuesday nights. The only employee that stood out was Shirou Namiki, a heavy smoker who often left during his shifts. At his apartment, Conan finds the evidence that pins him to the crime, newspaper clipouts of the arsons.
Conan then finds Shirou trying to light a fire, but stops him by kicking a ball in his face. The next day, Conan and Ran comment on the man's arrest, while Kogoro burns himself by dropping his cigarette on his newspaper.

Resolution
Seiji Gajo changed the gun himself in order to commit suicide. He had few time to live, as proved with the pills Conan saw him take, and decided to go out with a scandal, just as he likes. The proof of that is the fingerprints of his found on the inside of the grip, which normally nobody would change. As Conan exposes the solution, a stage hand informs the people that the mass media is gathering in lots in front of the stage set, while Tokiwa admits losing to the old man's stubbornness.

Makoto Hiiragi
|
|
Resolution
It turns out that Makoto Hiiragi used an alibi trick to kill Okamoto. First, he invited his girlfriend to watch a movie and had her fall asleep with the sleeping pills he put in her soda. Afterwards, he would then leave and kill Okamoto and return as if nothing happened. Since his girlfriend remembered the scenes that happened just before she slept and right after she woke up, it would seem that she only slept for a small window of 15 minutes, but this is not true, since she in fact slept for two more hours and was only woken up during the second screening of the same movie, which would give Hiiragi enough time to move around. The proof of this is that there was an altercation between a drunk man and the staff during the first screening, which both Hiiragi and his girlfriend didn't know about. After Kogoro wakes up, he comments how the day passes quickly when he makes good deductions.

Resolution
Even after the body search, the mysterious blade could not be found. However, it was hidden as something else and then modified. Conan realizes this when he notices metallic powder on the ground. It comes from Masami Iwai's tape measurer, which he trimmed into a sharp blade with his nail file. When the police pull the whole measurer out, they notice droplets of blood still on it. It turns out that he killed Ryuichi since he wanted to break their father's precious ceramic pot, which is in fact valued at 10 million yen. He hated the fact that their father liked Ryuichi the most when he was born from another mother. When Ran and Conan come back home, they hear Kogoro complain about adults who cannot leave their parents' home, but as he asks for beer, the two go away from him, saying that parents that cannot let go of their children are the same.
