Memories Awakened in the Snowy Mountains of Nagano

Set in the snow-covered mountains of Nagano Prefecture, the story follows Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police, who is injured during a mission while pursuing a suspect. A bullet grazes his left eye, and he’s caught in an avalanche. Miraculously, he survives and returns to duty 10 months later.

Soon after, a report comes in about a mysterious attack on a researcher at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Yamato rushes to the scene, but as the parabolic antenna begins to move, pain surges through his now-blinded left eye.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa are en route to meet a former colleague from Kogoro’s days in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. Suddenly, a gunshot rings out—triggering the unraveling of a long-buried memory that connects Kogoro and Yamato in an unexpected way.
