A Gripping Mystery Amid the Howling Snow—Fates Collide in the Mountains
Kogoro receives an unexpected call from an old colleague from his time at the Metropolitan Police—nicknamed "Wani" (the Crocodile). Wani wants to ask about an incident involving Detective Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police, someone Conan and his friends have previously helped solve a case with.
Ten months ago, while tracking a suspect in a separate case, Yamato was caught in a devastating avalanche. Though he miraculously survived, he lost sight in one eye and now bears a deep scar from the ordeal.
Since then, he has continued working—and during a visit to an observatory to investigate a break-in, his injured eye suddenly begins to throb near a massive parabolic antenna.
Meanwhile, as Kogoro, Conan, and the others head to meet with Wani, the sound of gunfire rings out across the snowy landscape... and they rush toward the scene!
