What lies in one's heart is a mystery to us all.

Star and snow glitter on the two.

Valentine's Day is coming up soon!

Would you like a case with chocolates?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Everyone has more or less gotten over the festive New Year holiday.

The girls send bitter and sweet chocolates to express

their feelings of superficiality or true love love to boys and men.

A gift-giving season in the middle of winter.

That is...

"Valentine's Day"

"Bloody Valentine (The Case)"

Valentine's my foot. Nonsense.

Everybody's just fallen for the tactics of the candy industry.

But I think people on the receiving end are very happy!

Besides, chocolate is good!

I bet you're all sulky because you're not going to get any.

Yes, you're so right!

With a body like this,

all I'll be getting are those for kids type chocolate anyway.

Well, he's right.

Japan's the only country where people are lightheartedly

getting all carried away over chocolate candies.

No one seems to be aware that Valentine's Day was named

in memory of St. Valentine who was killed after being tortured.

Is that true?

But my mother told me

that Valentine's Day is a day when girls create precious memories

after getting the power of love from the chocolates.

She explained that is why chocolates are bitter and sweet.

Then, did you buy chocolate, Ayumi?

No.

Father said it was still too early for me to do something like that.

Well, I guess it's too early for you to be talking about love.

And?

What did the detective agency girl say she'd do?

Oh, you mean Ran?

She said that we'd be going to a mountain lodge called Suito,

but she didn't mention anything about chocolate.

I see.

Well, I sure hope

it doesn't turn out to be a bitter memory like Bloody Valentine.

Hey, hey.

Bloody Valentine?

It's where Al Capone made the seven members of the Muran family

that he antagonize stand in front of the garage

and shot them to death

on February 14th, 1929.

Capone?

Come to think of it,

he said he was raised in the town where Capone was.

Conan, hurry or we'll leave you behind!

Oh, okay!

What were you doing?

-Sorry! -Hey, Haibara...

Good grief. Why do we have to go to a lodge

way out in the remote mountains to make candy?

We're training ourselves to become good wives!

You can do all you like of things Iike that at home.

Well, don't worry.

I heard nothing about making candy, though.

I was told that I'd get to see a lot of cute mountain animals.

Oh, you mean you don't know?

Suito Mountain Lodge is famous for being able to make chocolate

that will make your love come true!

What?

Which means that you're going to hand make the chocolate,

and give it to Kyogyoku,

then finally confess your feelings to him?

Yes, that's what I plan on doing.

What's the matter, Sonoko?

Makoto hasn't called me lately.

Even if I call him, his phone is always set at voice message.

No...

I guess I goofed.

I told him over the phone that I'm making chocolate

for somebody I really like.

I went all out with this "I love you a whole lot" strategy

I'm sure that's it.

I should've told him straight that the chocolate was for him.

Everything will be just fine!

If you send him the chocolate I'm sure that Kyogyoku...

You're so strong, Ran.

Huh?

Just one week of not talking to him makes me this sad.

But as for you and Shinichi,

this kind of thing has been going on all this time, right?

Well, I've gotten used to it.

And besides, who cares about whether he's around or not?

Hello, we've come to make chocolate!

How do you do?

Oh, so you're the old lady!

The owner of the lodge who is deceiving young women

ripping them off making candy

in a remote mountain lodge like this!

Hey, dad! Cut it out!

I'm so sorry.

"Chiyoko Yuasa (61)" -Deceive?

It's just that the press may such a big fuss over a couple

that coincidentally happened to get married

after making chocolate over here about 10 years ago,

and that reputation stands to this day!

My husband who was the previous owner passed away four years ago,

and thanks to a succession of spook scandals

the number of guests decreased drastically.

A spook scandal?

Well, I advise you all not to go outside alone

because a snowstorm is coming.

That is, if you don't want the spook that lives here

to give you a strange gift.

A strange gift?

Chocolate.

This mountain is pretty intricate,

and there are many people who get into trouble here.

The weird thing is, every year during this season,

chocolate is left

near the corpse that is found.

"Yoshitaka Nigaki (28)" -The local people say that

it could be the curse of a girl who was heading for this lodge

in order to make chocolate,

but died on the way after getting lost.

Or that it could be the snow woman.

There are various rumors going around.

Snow woman?

But there's nothing to worry about.

The police say that it's just that the chocolate

that is inside the belongings of the ones

who get into accidents in these mountains are scattered about

because of the hungry animals looking for food.

All right. I'll be going off to work, then.

Bye!

Mr. Nigaki.

I'm not against you pursuing it enthusiastically.

"Mika Konakawa (26)" -But don't let the show woman get to you

because of your enthusiasm and get yourself lost in the woods.

I'll be just fine!

If the snow woman offers me chocolate, I'll tell her

that I've got a girlfriend called Ako already.

"Ako Amari (25)"

Stop it, Yoshitaka.

See you, then.

Excuse me.

What is it, sonny?

He said he was going to work, but what does he do?

He's a journalist.

He went out to get films and pictures

that would serve as evidence of a case

he has been pursuing from five years ago.

I'm a photographer.

So in the beginning, I used to accompany him too.

Because he insisted he saw it in the forest.

He saw "it"? Don't tell me that

it was the snow woman?

No!

He's pursuing an animal that actually existed.

Well, I guess it's not much different from the snow woman

in terms that it is pretty much a phantom, too.

A phantom?

That's right.

Ever since it was caught and killed in 1905,

"Yuzo Sakami (42)" -the phantom mammal that hasn't be seen

for over a hundred years

and was written extinct on the red list.

The Japanese wolf!

A wolf?

Is it okay, though?

To go after such a valued animal

with a hunter's rifle like that.

Oh, you mean this rifle?

This rifle is used to threaten the wolf

and corner it into the trap.

Granny.

Take care of my friend that will be coming here soon, will you?

Talk about everybody getting infatuated over wolves!

Okay then, I guess I'll be on my way too.

When that guy's friend comes,

show them to their rooms, will you?

You mean you're leaving, too?

I'm going to visit my husband's grave that is in the woods.

Are you going to be okay going there all alone?

These mountains are like my backyard.

Besides, Saburo will go with me, too.

Saburo?

Oh, good boy!

Oh, it's a dog.

Don't tell me that the journalist who just went out

mistook that unleashed dog for a wolf?

No way.

It was 10pm when he saw the wolf.

Then, the more so...

Saburo is put in his cage after it gets dark.

Oh, I see.

Okay, so shall we start making chocolate

while granny's out?

-Okay. -Yes!

Huh? That granny are not the one who's going to teach?

She did before, though.

We're the ones who teach the guests now.

It's our way of thanking her for putting us up here

every time at this time of year.

But granny does do the finishing touches

on the chocolate, though.

I see.

I guess that thing about love what-nuts is something

that you can't really look forward to then.

Oh, shut up!

Okay, only three more days to Valentine's Day!

Let's give it our best shot!

Granny's husband died in an avalanche?

Yes.

Four years ago, on February the 14th.

It seems that he was buried under the snow for a week

until Saburo dug him out.

The other one was never dug out after all.

Huh? Another one?

My brother.

His whereabouts have been unknown ever since.

The police say that he's probably buried under the snow.

But I can't help feeling that he's still alive.

That's why I come here every year.

And besides, I visit the previous owner's grave, too!

I'm sorry for talking about something so glum.

Oh, no. Not at all

Is there anything can we help with?

No, no! Guys should stay out of the kitchen!

You'll get hurt like Mr. Nigaki did!

I'm sorry.

There.

Okay!

All right, I'm almost done!

Oh, how lovely!

Pretty good, pretty good!

That's true.

So why don't we all take a picture together with the chocolate?

-Okay! -Okay!

The blizzard is getting stronger.

I wonder if Mr. Nigaki is okay.

Sorry, but we'll go check on Mr. Nigaki.

So, wait here okay?

Okay.

Huh? Where are you going?

We'll be right back!

Mr. Nigaki, where are you?

Mr. Nigaki!

What?

Mr. Nigaki is nowhere in sight?

Yes. We split up to search for him, but...

The blizzard's getting worse!

Anyway, let's go search for him before the visibility becomes zero.

Conan, wait here in the lodge.

All right!

Like I'd do that.

Let's go, Saburo!

Yoshitaka!

-Mr. Nigaki! -Mr. Nigaki!

Where are you?

Mr. Nigaki!

Where are you, Mr. Nigaki?

Hey! Answer us!

Where are you?

Mr. Nigaki!

The sound of a rifle?

Looks bad.

Maybe he got to it first?

Who are you?

Me?

I'm a guest staying at Suito Moutain Lodge.

"Hajime Itakura (37)"

Darn it. Where the hell are you, Mr. Nigaki?

Hey, Saburo!

Mr. Nigaki?

Mr. Nigaki!

No good, he's not breathing.

He was beaten to death.

What's this?

A chocolate?

Yoshitaka, please answer me!

This is impossible. The blizzard's getting worst!

Hey, what are you going to do?

If we keep on searching the mountain like this,

we'll end up dead ourselves.

But we can't just leave Mr. Nigaki.

Huh?

A dog?

In a remote mountain like this?

Could it be Saburo?

It can't be! Because he should be back at the lodge!

Don't tell me it's Conan?

Conan?

Just what are you doing here?

I told you to stay at the lodge, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

But Ms. Mika said a while ago that

when the previous owner of the lodge got caught in an avalanche,

Saburo dug him out.

Huh? Well, yes.

That's why I thought that

maybe Saburo would be able to find Mr. Nigaki, too.

Since Mr. Nigaki had come to the lodge many times,

I was sure that Saburo would be familiar with his smell, too.

And? Did you find Mr. Nigaki?

Yes, we've found him.

But he's already cold...

What?

No, no way.

This isn't happening is it, Yoshitaka?

-Yoshitaka! -Stay away!

Look! His face are smeared with blood.

And there's a blood covered branch

that is on the ground right beside him.

This is undoubtedly a homicide case.

Now that we know it's a murder,

we can't mess this site up anymore.

Murder?

No way.

Hey, what's with that big shot attitude of yours?

You're not a police detective or something, are you?

You're right about I'm not a police detective anymore,

but I am an ex-officer and now detective, Kogoro Mouri!

What?

Mouri? Don't tell me that you're...

That renowned detective?

Then, do you know who the killer is?

No. Because his body is frozen from this cold

making it impossible to figure out the estimated time of death.

Moreover, the wind has blown away the footprints.

The only thing that may be left as a clue

is that Mr. Nigaki's blood may have stained the killer's clothes.

I'm pretty sure he was killed during the day time.

The reason why the blood on Mr. Nigaki's face

is wiped off part way

is that it had been wiped off when something rubbed against it.

And the fact that he is still wearing his goggles shows that

he was killed when it was still bright,

and the blizzard hadn't come yet.

It would be too dangerous

to move along in this blizzard with these goggles on.

I see Just as would be expected of a renown detective.

It's not a big deal.

This is a mere first step in any investigation.

I wonder about that.

Not you again.

Take a good look inside his goggles.

His left contact lens is out of place!

You idiot!

That's probably because he killer punched him...

But he's not wearing contact lens in his right eye

nor is it inside his goggles.

True.

Oh, I get it!

The right one probably fell to the ground when he was punched,

and at the same time, his goggles moved out of place,

so the killer fixed it for him!

I see.

What a meticulous killer.

Hey, this is no time to be convinced.

Could it be that the killer deliberately made him wear it?

That's right.

But why do something like that?

Come to think of it, I found something strange.

It's this chocolate!

I found it on his stomach.

Yoshi is written on it.

the chocolate you made today, Ako?

Why?

Why is my chocolate over here?

Aren't you the one who put it near the corpse?

Ako couldn't have done it!

The chocolate was in the kitchen until we all left the lodge.

She was with us right through after that.

Then, who put the chocolate over here?

It's probably the killer.

And it seems that the corpse has been touched everywhere, too.

It's pretty likely that the killer brought it here

to make it look like Ako committed the crime.

At any rate, let's talk this over after returning to the lodge

and contacting the police.

The police are not going to be able to get here for a while.

Hey, Mr. Sakami.

I'm surprised that you found this place.

I heard the dog barking.

Never mind that.

Just what do you mean by the police can't come here?

The tunnel located part way along the road

that leads from the foot of the mountain to the lodge

has been blocked off by an avalanche

that occurred about 30 minutes ago.

I'm pretty sure it's going to take at least a day

before they can open up the road again.

-Oh, no! -Seriously?

Then, what is it?

Are you saying that we're going to have to spend the night

at the lodge tonight?

When the one who killed Mr. Nigaki may be among us?

I don't have problem with that.

That's more thrilling.

If you don't want to spend the night over at the lodge,

why don't you spend the entire night

beside your big brother who was killed?

But by day break,

you may have turned into snow woman, though.

Blood stains that have been wiped off.

Goggles that were replaced on him.

And Ms. Ako's chocolate.

Why did the killer go out of the way

to bring Ako's chocolate out of the kitchen?

Why?
