224

With Kogoro stunned, Conan clears the suspects who were accused of murder, then explains that each victim was called out by the person they trusted and was lured with the promise of a personal gain before being murdered, and reveals the serial killer as elder Mikoto, who is then unmasked as Kimie. She had faked her death in the warehouse fire using Saori's corpse who was killed years earlier, the fact that Kimie and Saori had the same dental work done also made that feat easier. Conan reveals that the elder was actually descendants of the family who dressed up as Mikoto to continue the story of the arrow. Heiji and Kazuha arrive at the house in time to confirm the story. Kimie reveals that her mother, who the whole town knew she was the elder and that they knew that the identity of the mermaid's corpse, was the previous elder. Three years ago, Saori, Naoko, and Toshimi locked Kimie's mother in the warehouse and set it ablaze to see if she was really immortal; Saori displayed psychotic tendencies for immortality after seeing, who she believed, was the same person, and indirectly revealed her and her friends’ involvement in Kaori's mother's death. Kaori herself continued to pretend to be the elder for her mother. All of the island's people bow their heads and apologize for not telling her sooner as she cries due to her guilt. It is revealed that even though Kazuha stabbed Heiji's hand on the cliff he refused to let go of her hand and Kaori is arrested. (Source: Wikipedia)
