The following day, while the Toto Line is formally opened,Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys go on a trip with Professor Agasa and Agasa's car passes directly underneath the new subway tracks. Conan, who heard about the bomb threat, spots explosives tied to the rails as the car passes them.

With Conan's help, the police are able to divert the new trains away from the bombs and prevent casualties.

Investigating Asakura's background, Conan learns that the governor authorised construction of a dam in Kitanosawa, a town in Niigata prefecture. Kitanosawa was evacuated to make room for the dam, the citizens had to leave their homes and their houses were flooded by the new dam. Since Asakura has been forced to cancel an upcoming trip to Kitanosawa to celebrate the anniversary of the dam, Conan speculates the bomber could have ties to the former town and decides to continue his investigation in Kitanosawa.

Conan, the Detective Boys, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Sonoko Suzuki travel to Kitanosawa and have a fun day in the snow. They befriend a few former citizens, childhood friends Keisuke Yamao, Mizuki Tono, Fuyumi Tachihara, Tahehiko Muto and Shogo Hikawa. The friends were among the citizens that decided to relocate to the new village after Kitanosawa was flooded.

They also explain that they haven't seen each other for eight years because Yamao had to spend several years in prison for accidentally killing Mizuki's younger sister Natsuki in a hit-and-run. Fuyumi's son Toma was in a serious incident a day after Natsuki's death and has been in a coma ever since.

Only Hikawa's footprints are found in the snow so the police initially suspect a suicide. Conan examines the body and finds Hikawa was killed by an electro shocker. The murderer then waited for snowfalls and walked backwards in Hikawa's footprints to make everyone suspect Hikawa was alone. The sun sets, causing a diamond-like dust to appear in the sky and Toma suddenly has a flashback to the day of the accident.

It is assumed to be suicide since only Hikawa's footprints were found in the snow. Conan reveals Hikawa was killed by an electroshock weapon. The culprit then waited for it to snow and walked away backwards to suggest Hikawa was alone. During a diamond dust caused by the sunrise, Touma experiences a flashback to the day of the accident.

Conan searches Hikawa's belongings and finds a newspaper clipping about a robbery that occured eight years ago.
