Snow White.

I'm your partner at all times!

A group of four consisting of men and women.

The snowman of the Youth Detective Squad

watches the trails of the case.

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

You're pretty good, Shinichi.

Yes, yes. You're so good.

"Unbreakable Snowman (Part 1)"

Huh? Where are they?

Look. They're over there.

Gosh, before we got here

they were dying for me to teach them how to snowboard.

And now they are absorbed in making a snowman.

By the way, are you sure it's okay?

The boy who said he witnessed Rena Mizunashi's motorbike accident.

If the foreign lady that approached him was...

Yeah, she's probably one of the members of the Black Organization.

Vermouth.

What did you say?

Doesn't that mean...

Do you really understand?

If those guys find out that she was badly wounded in the accident...

Yeah. I'm sure they already know

that Rena Mizunashi was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Hey, Shinichi.

But that's as far as they know.

They don't seem to know which hospital it is yet.

Besides, this case has already been reported to Ms. Jodie from the FBI.

I'm sure the FBI won't let them find the place that easily either.

But will that boy be okay?

It seems that he's under the custody of the FBI for now.

I think the organization is not interested in him anymore.

Because if they wanted to shut him up,

they would've done so when they got in contact with him.

But isn't it strange?

That the boy coincidentally happened to be at the house

where the murder was committed,

and you find out a mysterious woman approached him and asked questions.

-It was no coincidence. -Huh?

That's what bothered me

and made me search Rena Mizunashi on the internet.

I found a deeply buried info about her.

There's a big fan homepage dedicated to the announcer Rena Mizunashi.

Then it hit me.

There was a guy who was hired for that part-time job

and was the one causing the motorbike accident.

He seems to have been wearing custom-made jacket with her picture on it.

This is what was written in his diary,

"On my way back home from my part-time job,

a boy named Toji looked at my jacket

and said that the lady flew off her motorbike."

That's why that guy probably saw the diary, too.

That guy?

Yeah.

He mentioned that the homicide that happened at the boy's house

and the weird part-time job was connected.

He deliberately got Pops and me involved in the case by making us go there

and succeeded in making us encounter the boy.

That guy's name is Eisuke Hondo.

Eisuke Hondo?

The one who suddenly came to Ran's school as a new student.

Moreover, his eyes are identical to Rena Mizunashi.

Hey...

Don't tell me that the new student is...

He's probably a member of the guys who are checking on us

to figure out where Rena Mizunashi is.

That's what I'd like to say,

but somehow it's so unlike him.

Huh?

He seems naturally dense and awkward.

You idiot!

What if that's their plan to make you lower your guard?

But...

I saw him crying.

I've told you before about the case

involving the saw, nail and hammer, right?

Back then, I saw him crying.

I don't know if he was crying because he was having a hard time

solving the case and was angry at himself

or for not being able to get to the point of the matter.

Or that he was annoyed at himself for not being able

to relay what he wanted to, despite seeing through the case.

But I did see him crying back then.

It just looks like its crying!

Gosh, both of you!

But I guess this is okay the way it is. Right, Mitsuhiko?

Yes. I'm glad we bought fruits on the way here.

Yeah.

Hey, you brats! Don't you dare touch that!

"Sakuko Kokura (22)" -That's our graduation project, you know.

"Tanji Kiyama (22)" -Well, it's only a trial piece though.

It's a graduation project?

This snowman that looks like a monster?

That's right!

We're students of the sculpture department of an art university.

"Asaka Onoue (22)" -Since all four of us love snow,

we pleaded with our teacher and got special permission to do this.

But he's the only one who was making it.

"Kazuya Itabashi (22)" -That's because I make the overall framework.

After that, we will discuss it over and add what we want to on it.

After coming up with something that we are satisfied with,

we'll take a picture of it

and use it to help us make the real snow statue that we want to make.

If we make it all together from the start,

we'll most likely come up with something that's not really organized.

The title of this project is "The Grief of the Abominable Snowman".

The head's basically finished,

but I haven't come up with anything yet to his body.

Well, let's go easy on it.

Go easy?

We've got to leave the day after tomorrow.

So we need you to hurry and get it into shape somehow.

That's not nice, Sakuko.

Itabashi's been out here all this time for us.

I'd just like you to know,

it was you guys' idea for the four of us to make this project together.

I didn't really care to.

Now, now.

It's our university project on our last winter vacation.

Right, let's end everything peacefully, okay?

I mean, we may not even see each other again after graduating.

Right, Asaka?

Right.

I guess so.

Shall all four of us go to ski at night on the last day then?

I guess not.

Not all of us can go.

Hey, Sakuko! Wait!

Asaka.

Don't worry about it.

I've worked things out inside of me.

Okay then, Itabashi.

I'm going back to the lodge.

Call me when you're done.

Yeah.

That brunette's leg...

She dragging her leg.

What a snobbish lady, the one with the slant eyes.

Shall we surprise them with our snowman?

Huh? How?

First of all, we...

Yes, this is Sakuko.

Huh? Talk with me?

Right now?

There's nothing better than curry

-after sweating in the snowy mountains. -That's right!

I mean, all you guys did was make a snowman.

Did you find her?

No.

Maybe she went out skiing alone

and because of this blizzard, she can't find her way back.

Hey, hey, Asaka.

Is something the matter?

You're the old man that was with the children a while ago.

Sakuko, who was with us, didn't come to lunch.

So I went to her room to call her, but she wasn't there.

We have already search the stores and all.

Don't tell me she really went outside?

Let's all split up and look for her.

We'll search behind the lodge.

You guys should search the front.

Hey! Sakuko!

Are you there?

Slant eyed lady, where are you?

Hey!

Guys, where are you?

Guys!

Silly, stop crying.

Hang on tight to my outfit and don't let go.

Hey, guys! Is everybody else nearby?

Yes! I'm hanging on tightly to Haibara's hand.

What's this?

It's my hand.

Are you talking about me?

In this white-out condition,

don't you think it's too dangerous to keep searching?

I guess so. We'd better wait till the blizzard subsides.

The head of our snowman is on the ground!

No!

It probably slipped off because of this strong wind.

The gloves.

Darn it!

Wait, Genta!

-That glove! -I'm sure there's a cliff over that side!

That was close...

I told you.

The blizzard is subsiding a bit.

Yes.

Huh?

Is something the matter, Conan?

Below the cliff in that lake,

there's something floating.

Don't tell me that it's...

Use the zoom function of your right lens.

Okay.

There!

It's a person.

A person is floating in the lake.

That's...

Sakuko?

The victim is Ms. Sakuko Kokura, age 22,

a senior at an art university.

It seems she drowned to death,

but shall we bring her in for autopsy just in case, Officer Yamamura?

Yeah. Please do that, will you?

Well?

Was this woman travelling alone?

No, well...

She came here with her classmates who went to the same art university.

From the right, it's Tanji Kiyama,

Asaka Onoue,

and Kazuya Itabashi.

So, did these three find the body?

No, the one who found her is...

We, the Youth Detective Squad!

We were looking for that lady when it became a blizzard.

Then we found her from that cliff over there.

We saw her floating in this lake.

You're that boy that's always with Mr. Mouri.

Which means that Detective Mouri is also here?

No, he's not.

I'm sorry, but we're the only one here.

Oh, I see.

Which means that the Sleeping Kogoro

won't be disclosing the truth of this cursed case.

Cursed?

Yes.

She's wearing snowboard boots.

On the lake, the snowboard was floating.

Moreover, to come down here below the cliff,

you have to cross that bridge.

And yet, that bridge was closed off till we arrived here.

It means that she fell from the cliff when she was snowboarding.

Yes.

She accidentally fell over the cliff in the blizzard.

It's natural to think she fell over the cliff and drowned in the lake.

But it's a complete mystery.

I mean, this lake!

Lake?

Don't you think it's weird?

There's so much snow accumulated and yet why isn't the lake frozen?

I'm sure that an evil creature that lives in the lake

lured her to jump into the lake and sucked her in.

It's a hot spring.

Huh?

Hot water flows into this lake and the water temperature is high.

Well, it's not the kind of temperature that anyone would like to go into.

I've heard that this lake has never frozen.

Is that so?

Yeah, it's written here in this guide book, too.

Shouldn't a local police officer know about this?

Then, it's an accident.

But still, I wonder if this person was really snowboarding?

Huh?

Because she isn't even wearing a cap or goggles.

That's right.

It was a blizzard,

so it's strange that she went without wearing anything on her head.

It probably came off when she fell into the lake.

That could be so for the cap and goggles,

but her gloves wouldn't come off, would they?

True.

Which means that Ms. Kokura...

was a person who perspired a lot.

Hey.

You know, it's like the people who hate to wear gloves

because their hands get all sweaty.

But I think even people like that would wear gloves when snowboarding.

Maybe she wasn't dressed to go snowboarding in the first place

and the boots were put on her?

Sakuko was murdered, but made it look like an accident while snowboarding.

Maybe somebody planned this out.

No way.

Then, you mean it was someone among the three?

I was just stating a possible assumption.

Would you give me the details as to what happened

up to the time Sakuko's body was found?

Yeah.

I think it was just before 12 pm, right?

Yeah. She went straight up to her room right after coming to the lodge.

After that, we promised to eat lunch together a little after 1 pm,

but only she didn't show up.

I went to her room and knocked on the door, but got no answer.

So I had the lodge manager open the door for me,

but she wasn't there.

We split up and looked for her inside the lodge, but couldn't find her.

And just when we were at a loss what to do...

I ran into them in the dining room.

Maybe she went out skiing alone

and because of this blizzard, she can't find her way back.

Hey, hey, Asaka.

Is something the matter?

You're the old man that was with the children a while ago.

Sakuko, who was with us, didn't come to lunch.

So I went to her room to call her, but she wasn't there.

We have already search the stores and all.

Don't tell me she really went outside?

Let's all split up and look for her.

We'll search behind the lodge.

You guys should search the front.

So we split in two groups and started searching.

Then, Conan found her dead body from on top of the cliff.

And?

Where were you guys from the time you parted with her

till the time she was found?

I was in my room at the lodge.

I was also in my room.

I was in the back of the lodge making the snowman.

Snowman?

Yes.

I was making the trial framework for our graduation project.

By the way, it seems like Sakuko has rented a snowboard and boots,

but did you rent something, too?

Yes. I rented a snowboard, too.

I rented a pair of skis too, but...

But?

Kiyama hasn't skied,

out of consideration for me, who hurt my leg last year

and can't ski anymore.

But even if you can't ski, you can still push a person from behind,

can't you?

Huh?

Look. You three could've called Sakuko after parting with her

to secretly have her come to that cliff there.

I just thought that all you'd have to do is give her a little push

and she'd go falling down into the lake below.

No way.

It's understandable if she fell over on a speeding snowboard.

But even if you were to push her from the cliff over there,

she would have landed right about there.

There's still more than five meters before she reaches the lake.

I see. So pushing her off is out.

But if it's you who can ski...

I think that's impossible, too.

Even if he were to somehow make it down,

it would be impossible for him

to make it back up in that blizzard in such a short time.

Even with a rope.

If you still suspect me,

why don't you go to the locker in the lodge

and check the ski board and ski shoes that I rented.

If I used them, they should be wet, right?

Are you three using the same locker?

Yes.

Which means, anyone of you

could've taken out her snowboard and boots at any time you wanted?

Just what are you getting at?

-Huh? -Huh?

In other words, if you tie her on to the snowboard

and make her slide from the cliff...

she would automatically fall into the lake.

Are you all right, officer?

This slope is super bumpy.

If you do something like that, she's bound to flip over.

As to that, if it's Mr. Itabashi who can snowboard,

he could easily choose a slope that isn't bumpy.

Then, where's the rope that she was tied onto with?

That's right!

And even if she didn't fell down,

I think her body would've been tied onto the board.

Besides, Sakuko probably didn't have her gloves on

because she got lost in the blizzard

and was trying to call us on her cell phone for help.

But would she take off the gloves from both hands to make the call?

Maybe she wasn't trying to call, but trying to send a text message?

She would be using both hands to type.

Text message?

Yes.

Sakuko used to always confirm by text message

whether we would be able to answer her call, saying, "May I call you now?"

Her gloves probably got blown away by the wind when she was typing.

She probably went after her gloves using the snowboard.

And fell over the cliff.

Was the blizzard that bad?

Yeah, it was unreal.

It was white all over and you couldn't see anything around.

Guys, where are you?

So it's an accident after all.

I guess so.

Please cut out all your strange guesses, officer.

Well then, let's go to the cliff where she is thought to have fallen from.

There may be traces of an accident left, too.

Accident?

It can't be.

I wonder if a person who promised to have meals with others in an hour

would go out into the blizzard, carry the snowboard

and go all the way up the ski trail?

If this is homicide, the culprit must be one of these three.

I can't figure out...

how Sakuko who was in the lodge...

was thrown into the lake.

Next Conan's Hint:

"The taste of snow"

What does snow taste like?

It's pretty salty.

Yes, yes.
