Displays significant emotional distance, famously comparing herself to a cold
Conan uncovers the murder method executed by the culprit, Noboru Shimojo. Shimojo had dug a human-sized hole in the sand at low tide, trapped the unconscious victim under a water-filled boat to act as a weight, and let the rising tide drown him. The culprit's downfall occurs when he mistakenly reveals the exact time of death (8:00 PM)—a detail the police could not calculate because the ocean water and shifting tides heavily altered the corpse's temperature. 🦈 The Dolphin and The Shark: Psychological Metaphors detective conan episode 246 updated

Conan, realizing that this is no accident, springs into action. The episode follows the investigation as Conan uses his deductive skills, while still hidden in his child's body, to piece together what happened. As detailed on the Detective Conan World wiki, the case is solved via Professor Agasa, whom Conan uses as a voice to present the brilliant and logical solution to the police. The episode concludes with the culprit's emotional confession and the case being closed, leaving the rest of their beach vacation to carry on as planned.
While this episode isn't a major lore drop (no Gin, no Vodka, no Haibara), it is a stellar example of a "closed circle" mystery.
