"The Blue Blue Earth") by Azumi Uehara until episode 265.[4] The second ending theme is "Yumemita Ato de" (夢みたあとで, lit. "After I Dream") by Garnet Crow for the rest of the season.

Conan does not think that Idetsuki was attacked by an outsider. The kids detect the scent of flowers coming from the microwave and Conan gets how the crime was committed. Using Agasa‘s voice, Conan declares that Hideo murdered Idetsuki, having programmed the remote control to work for two VCR machines, one of which was hidden behind curtains above her with a vase in front of it. When Idetsuki finished the movie, she used the remote to eject the tape out and crouched below to retrieve it. This causes the tape in the top VCR to come out as well which pushes the vase over and crushes Idetsuki‘s skull. As evidence, Hideo removed the vase in the hallway which was separated in to two parts in advance and hid them in the cupboard among the dishes and tableware. The flowers were heated in the microwave and thrown in the trash can. Idetsuki persuaded Mrs. Morita to invest in the stock market which later built up massive debt, and she committed suicide. After solving the case, Conan rushes home, fearing Ran and Kogoro are kidnapped. He discovers that his suspicions were unfounded and that Ran is fine, but doesn’t realize that someone is really watching the agency: Shuichi Akai.

The police interrogate Kuniyoshi and convict him for the murder after Takagi gathers the shredded pieces of the documents with blood and piece them together forming the missing top portion of ○×△ and fully spelling Kuniyoshi's name. Kuniyoshi confesses explaining he wanted a better life for his poor family. Ran, learning the meaning of X, sends a mail to Shinichi with Xs. Elsewhere, an unknown Black Organization member sends a message to Gin with X's in her message explaining they are a sign of feminine affection but can also be a sign of hate before throwing a dart at a picture of Shiho with an X through it.

Kogoro accuses one of Majima's employees who was in debt, but is quickly proven wrong. He then accuses Endou, one of Majima's company managers. The police find a threatening note in the trash from Endou to Majima saying to meet on the roof which seems to implicate Endou further. Kogoro says that if Endou tied a rope around the body and used a bow and arrows, it would have been possible to lower the body without a trace. The police go to look for evidence of the arrows and rope, and Conan is shocked when they actually find it because the position the body is in makes it impossible for that trick to have been used. Conan deduces that the culprit is Kiyama-san whose father was murdered by Majima. Kiyama flooded the garden with water and floated the body on an air mat to leave no trace behind.

Note: This is the last episode to use hand-drawn cel animation.
