Plot overview
While investigating Atsunobu Hayashi, he stumbled across a case from a few months ago when Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police was injured in an avalanche. Knowing that Kogoro is well-acquainted with the former, Sametani gives him a call at night from his office and both convene to meet the next day at Hibiya Park, close to the Metropolitan Police headquarters. Sametani arrives early at the meetup location, but before he sees Kogoro, he is shot to death by Hayashi, who knew he was investigating him. Kogoro, Ran and Conan arrive just at the moment he is shot and they pursue the helmeted Hayashi, but fail to catch him.
Following Sametani's death, his funeral is organized and following that, his junior detective Sawatari retrieved his personal belongings and handed them over to his girlfriend.
