Story Overview

Set in the snow-covered mountains of Nagano Prefecture, the story follows Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Prefectural Police. While pursuing a suspect, a bullet grazes his left eye, and he is buried by an avalanche. Ten months later, he miraculously survives and responds to an incident at the Nobeyama Observatory. As a parabolic antenna begins to rotate, his blinded left eye starts to throb...

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri and Conan are heading to meet an old colleague investigating the avalanche when they hear gunshots. A long-buried memory connects these seemingly unrelated events and characters in a compelling mystery.
