Fifteen years ago, a ship named "St. Yashiro Number 1" sank during an accident when a bomb exploded on deck after avoiding an iceberg.
 
Shortly before that, the captain, Takeo Okita, was killed by poison in his coffee. His first officer, Wataru Kaido, was suspected of the crime but never convicted as the evidence sank with Okita's body.

He also introduces Kogoro to Minako Akiyoshi, the lead designer working on the ship. Akiyoshi talks about the ship and tells everyone that Hideto Yashiro, who was found dead a few days earlier, was married to the current company president, Takae Yashiro.

At the same time, Kusaka calls Akiyoshi, telling her he has finished his newest script and that he will now read it to her, instructing Akiyoshi to only comment when he is finished. He puts a tape recorder near the phone receiver, presses play, puts on a jacket and sneaks out of the room into CEO Yashiro's room, where he stabs her with a knife.

After hiding the unconscious Takae in her bathroom, Minako disguised herself as Takae and waited for Kusaka. She pretended to fight him and had him stab her, wearing a pouch of fake blood to fool him into thinking he had committed the murder. Kusaka had no time to look twice because he had called Entaro to the marina, so Minako's trick worked. After he had left, Minako wiped the fake blood off the floor, dragged Takae out of the bathroom and stabbed her exactly in the same spot Kusaka had attacked Minako, killing her.

* On her way to the Marina, Minako, wearing a jacket with a hood, ran into Kogoro. In the narrow corridor, she instinctively turned her chest away from him as she passed, which, in hindsight, made Kogoro realise the culprit could be a woman. At the marina, Minako saw Entaro choking Kusaka, attacked Entaro from behind, stabbed him with her knife and disappeared. Kusaka thought he had killed Entaro himself and never noticed Minako.

* Akiyoshi's given name "Minako" (美波子) means "child of beautiful wave". Her name is a reference to Goddess Aphrodite or Venus (which is also the name of the ship that she designed) who is born from the ocean in some of the myths. We already understand that she is Okita's daughter, from her photo as an high school student in the captain's cabin. Open spoiler box to see images.

Case

Situation

Fifteen years ago, a ship named "St. Yashiro Number 1" sank during an accident when a bomb exploded on deck after avoiding an iceberg. Shortly before that, the captain, Takeo Okita, was killed by poison in his coffee. His first officer, Wataru Kaido, was suspected of the crime but never convicted as the evidence sank with Okita's body.

Murder (Past)

Movie9 Case0.jpg

Location: Number 1 St. Yashiro
Victim: Takeo Okita
Time: 15 years ago
Cause of death: Poison in Coffee
Suspects: Wataru Kaido
Murder (Past)
Location: Number 1 St. Yashiro
Victim: Kusaka's father
Time: 15 years ago
Cause of death: Ship explodes and sinks
Suspects: Wataru Kaido

Everyone escaped in time, except for a sailor named Kusaka, who discovered Okita's body and drowned with the sinking ship.

Half a month before the story begins, Hideto Yashiro, an architect working for the Yashiro group, suffers a fatal heart attack while driving and crashes off a cliff with his car.

Accident? (Past)

Movie9 Case1.jpg

Location: Bottom of the cliff
Victim: Hideto Yashiro
Age: 49 years old
Cause of death: Heart attack
While he was driving, he had a heart attack and fell off the cliff.

Conan and friends are invited by Sonoko to join her in a cruise on the luxury liner "St. Aphrodite," belonging to the Yashiro group. Shortly before the ship leaves, Hideto Yashiro's body is found and the police determine he died from a heart attack.

Ran has won a prestigious karate tournament and the Detective Boys decide to congratulate her by making a medal out of seashells for her.

Professor Agasa shows Conan his newest invention before dinner: Cuff Link Speakers. Kogoro believes them to be ordinary cufflinks, grabs them out of Conan's hands and declares he should wear them with his suit because cufflinks only belong to "elegant" men like Kogoro.

Dinner takes a long time to arrive and Conan cleans his glasses when Hironari Kusaka, a scriptwriter, accidentally bumps into him. Kusaka recognises Kogoro and greets him excitedly. He also introduces Kogoro to Minako Akiyoshi, the lead designer working on the ship. Akiyoshi talks about the ship and tells everyone that Hideto Yashiro, who was found dead a few days earlier, was married to the current company president, Takae Yashiro.

The next day, the Detective Boys, Ran, and Sonoko decide to play hide and seek on the cruise ship. The kids sneak Ran's medal into her jacket, wanting to surprise her. Sonoko and Ai are picked as chasers. While "hiding", Conan finds a volley ball on deck and plays with it, kicking it against the nearest wall and dribbling. Ai finds him easily.

Eventually, everyone is found except for Ran. Conan reminisces that Ran was always very good at hide and seek.

At the same time, Kusaka calls Akiyoshi, telling her he has finished his newest script and that he will now read it to her, instructing Akiyoshi to only comment when he is finished. He puts a tape recorder near the phone receiver, presses play, puts on a jacket and sneaks out of the room into CEO Yashiro's room, where he stabs her with a knife.

Murder

Movie9 Case2.jpg

Location: Aphrodite Cruise Ship - Yashiro's room
Victim: Takae Yashiro
Age: 51 years old
Cause of death: Stab wound in abdomen
Suspects: Hironari Kusaka
Takae is stabbed in the abdomen while she was drying her hair.

Entaro Yashiro, Takae's father, received a threatening note earlier that same morning, saying "I know what you did 15 years ago, meet me in the basement marina at 10:15."

Sonoko looks for Ran in the ship's basement when someone suddenly knocks her unconscious.

Attempted Murder

Movie9 Case3.jpg

Location: Aphrodite Cruise Ship - Marina
Victim: Sonoko Suzuki
Attack types: Freezing
Suspects: Entaro Yashiro
Sonoko was attacked, then put in the mortuary room.

At 10:15, Kusaka reveals himself to Entaro Yashiro in the marina and attacks him. Entaro fights back and seemingly overpowers Kusaka.

Murder

Movie9 Case4.jpg

Location: Aphrodite Cruise Ship - Marina
Victim: Entaro Yashiro
Age: 78 years old
Cause of death: Stab wound
Suspects: Hironari Kusaka
Entaro fights with Kusaka, who tried to kill him, and seemingly overpowers Kusaka, before being thrown out in the ocean with his chest stabbed.

Kusaka knocks Entaro out and opens the basement door, wanting to throw his body into the ocean. Entaro comes to and tries to choke Kusaka, who defends himself by stabbing Entaro fatally into the chest and throwing him out of the ship.

Sonoko wakes up in a box and feels icy cold. With a Detective Boys badge one of the children gave her before their game began, she contacts the others and cries for help. Conan tries to locate her using his glasses, but the sensors don't work after his glasses were knocked off by Kusaka the previous evening. They find Sonoko just in time and help her to the ship's doctor.

Inspector Megure, CSI Officer Tome and Miss Tome, Takagi, and Shiratori land on the cruise ship with a helicopter, having been alerted of Takae's murder and Entaro's disappearance. Kusaka quickly becomes their main suspect as his father died when the St. Yashiro 1 sank 15 years earlier, but the police discover he has an alibi, having been on the phone with Akiyoshi when the murder occured. Conan investigates Kusaka's room and discovers a tape recorder, but the tape it contains is blank.

The police theorise that Hideto Yashiro's death was linked with the two cases on the ship.

Later that day, the passengers are invited to a gala evening. News of the murder investigation makes the rounds and the guests start to panic. Kogoro calms everyone by announcing he has solved the case, accusing Minako Akiyoshi of killing Takae and possibly also Entaro Yashiro.

Conan, who thinks Kogoro is wrong, asks Agasa's help. He mimics Agasa's voice with his bowtie while Agasa lip-syncs.

Conan/Agasa announce Kusaka is the actual murderer and that he has dried blood on his hair which belonged to Takae Yashiro.

Cruise ship bombing

Movie9 Case5.jpg

Location: St Yashiro
Culprit: Hironari Kusaka

Kusaka shouts that he has planted bombs on the ship, wanting to take revenge for his father, and escapes on a motorboat. Conan chases after him with the other boat and notices the Detective Boys have snuck onto the boat as well. Conan stuns Kusaka and, at the same time, a bomb detonates on the ship. The ship is evacuated. Ran stays behind trying to retrieve the medal the Detective Boys made for her which she dropped in her hiding spot. She slips, hits her head on the wall and falls unconscious.

Looking back at the case, Conan realizes Kusaka's alibi was too simple and figures out who the actual murderer was.
