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.

Both love and the case get to the core.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We all came to a lodge called Suito Mountain Lodge

located in a remote mountain area

together with Sonoko who invited us.

However, one of the guests staying at the lodge,

a journalist named Yoshitaka Nigaki

fails to return to the lodge after going inte the woods

despite a violent blizzard.

After a while of searching for Mr. Nigaki in the woods,

we found him dead.

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?

"Bloody Valentine (The Deduction)"

I see.

I understand.

So, what did they say?

Did the police say they'll be right over?

An avalanche is a lie, right?

No. There seems have been an avalanche at around 8pm

and the tunnel seems to be blocked off.

They say they don't know

when they'll be able to come here until tomorrow.

It's just as I said!

How was the chocolate?

Ako's chocolate was gone after all.

Darn it!

I brought back Mr. Nigaki's camera and video camera

thinking that we could get some clues,

but the video tape is unused.

The only clue we have left now

is the used roll of film that is left inside his camera.

But if the forensic officers can't come,

we can't develop the film.

Oh, I can develop and print the picture

if you want me to.

Since Mr. Nigaki said that he wanted to see the pictures

right away after he took pictures of them,

I brought a set of the necessary equipments.

Let me use your bathroom, okay?

It's just right to use for a dark room.

Yes, go ahead.

I'll help you, then.

Hey, was that all that was inside?

Weren't there any more films or tapes

in the knapsack of the guy who was killed?

Yes, there were.

But the films and tapes were all unopened.

Which means that the guy was killed

before he filmed anything on video?

Or maybe Mr. Nigaki preferred taking pictures

rather than filming videos.

That's not true!

He preferred filming videos rather than taking pictures.

He was filming a lot last night, too.

Can you show us that video tape, then?

Okay.

But there are a lot of it in his bag,

so I don't know if we can tell which one is last night's video.

Forget it, kid!

Let's not watch the video a dead man took.

Did he film something he shouldn't have?

That's not what he meant.

It's kind of creepie.

Why don't we all watch it together in the living room?

Okay.

If we watch it together we may be able to find a clue.

I'll go get it from his room then.

Gosh.

Is this the love chocolate you're going to give me?

Wrong! This is for me!

Hey, don't tell me you're giving it to someone else?

It could be.

It sure is no fun watching

somebody elses' home video after all.

I'm going to make your chocolate with the girls

that are coming to spend the night here tomorrow.

Why are you keeping me in suspense for?

I've got a super gift for you too, you know.

Darn it! This stupid TV...

Come on!

Sorry that it's a stupid TV.

This is a treasure that my husband bought

for the first time with Reiko.

Reiko?

She was my husband's first wife.

I was told that she died 12 years ago because of an illness.

Hey, Saburo!

It's time for you to go back to your cage already.

So, she's the second wife.

I've heard about them from the previous owner, too.

This granny came to spend the night here

just when he was depressed after having lost his wife.

Then, they hit it off right from the start

and got married just like that.

Granny's sweets were highly reputable

and this lodge was going well for a while.

But I guess it's tough without husband after all.

You heard about this before, you said?

That means you both come here a lot?

Nope, just once in the past.

By the way,

is that the last of the four video tapes we watched?

Yes.

That's all of the videos with yesterday's date on it.

Okay, so there's only so much left of this video tape!

I'm going to challenge making chocolate

for the first time in my life starting now.

-So goodbye, everyone. -Goodbye!

Good grief, it's finally ended.

You two don't seem to have been in the video?

Well, of course. I just got here this morning.

I just got here a while ago.

So, we're back to where we started.

We've figured out what time Mr. Nigaki was killed, though!

Take a look at this picture.

It's a picture that was taken when he was punched.

Huh? How can you tell?

Do you see this blurred shadow?

It's not in any of the other pictures,

just this last one.

This is the shadow formed by blood stains on the camera lens.

The shutter probably went off accidentally

after he was punched and fell to the ground from the shock.

But you can't really tell if those are blood stains yet.

There's no mistake about it.

We put film in his camera and tried it out,

and got the exact same result.

Which means he was killed during the day time.

Something's not right.

Ms. Mika's explanation doesn't make sense.

In other words, the killer

may be among the three of you

who were not at the ledge with us during that time.

Hey!

Then, what's with that chocolate?

It was here at the lodge until 8:00 at night, wasn't it?

Just who brought it out then?

In the first place,

what stupid person would go back out

into the blizzard just to put the chocolate near the corpse?

Well, that's true.

It could be that...

It might really exists.

A being living in this mountain other than us.

What do you mean?

Come to think of it, before I met all of you here,

I ran into a queer guy in the woods.

A huge guy wearing a black knitted cap!

I mistook him for a bear and almost shot him.

A black knitted cap?

It can't be...

Don't tell me that...

A man wearing black knitted cap.

Don't tell me that it's him.

Excuse me.

The person you saw in the woods.

Do you remember what he looked like?

I may know him.

I wonder.

I could tell that he was a man from his physique.

But he had goggles and a muffler on,

so I didn't get to see his face at all.

I see.

Ran?

It could've been Natsuya.

I'm sure it was him.

It's Natsuya!

He was alive after all.

Let's go and get him.

Mika.

No way!

You can't go out in this blizzard!

Natsuya is waiting for us in the woods.

Natsuya's waiting.

Natsuya died!

He died in the avalanche four years ago!

Sorry.

I'm sorry, Mika.

Who is Natsuya?

He's my older brother whose whereabouts have been unknown

since four years ago.

Mika was going steady with him.

So, the checkered chocolate

that Ms. Mika was making this afternoon was...

Yes, we were going to take the chocolate to his grave

because he liked checkered patterns.

My brother grave is also in the woods

beside the graves of the previous owner and his first wife.

Not only the graves of the three are here.

In this forest,

there are the graves of those who have died in this mountain

whose identities are unknown.

But all the graves except the three graves were all destroyed

by wild animals.

Why are only the three graves left undestroyed?

Probably because I pay visit to them everyday with Saburo.

Just like my husband used to when he was alive.

Well, but if you insist that someone other than us

are in the mountains...

The guy wearing the black knitted cap

roaming around in the woods is definitely the killer.

What do you mean?

I have no idea when that guy called Nigaki was killed.

But the person who left the chocolate next to him

is the killer, right?

All six of you left the chocolate in the kitchen

and went out at 8pm to look for Nigaki, right?

If everyone found the chocolate together,

it's impossible for me to put the chocolate there.

I met all six of you near the lodge.

It was probably right after you all left the lodge

to look for Nigaki.

It would take 20 minutes to get from the lodge

to the site of the crime which is the woods,

no matter how much I rush.

So, I would have no time to put the chocolate there.

And of course, I wouldn't have been able to do it either.

At around 8pm, I was far away

from the lodge watching the tunnel get buried under the avalanche.

But you could've heard about the avalanche on the radio news.

No.

Because the avalanche was announced just about the same time

we got back to the lodge and called the police.

Well, the only one who could've brought the chocolate

is that lady there who was making the chocolate.

Huh?

I heard that before everybody went out together,

you and the other lady left together to look for the guy, right?

You two weren't together all the while, were you?

No, we split up part way and searched for him.

If you made similar type of chocolate the night before,

you could've placed the chocolate near Nigaki

when you went out the first time.

If you secretly took the chocolate

that you made today together with you

when you went out to search with everybody else,

you could make it look as if the killer took it.

Oh, no.

That's impossible!

There was a blizzard outside already

when we went to look for him the first time.

If he was killed then,

there should be snow in this picture

that was taken at the time of the crime, right?

What about the chocolate?

Why don't you compare them, then?

I took a picture of all the chocolate that everybody made today.

If you take a close look,

the chocolate that was found at the crime scene is a bit melted

and dented slightly out of shape.

I would sure like to meet the person

who can shape the letters exactly the same like this

as well as insert it onto the chocolate so much alike as it is.

What she's saying is that your deductions are off.

Right. Well, that's for the better, isn't it?

Now that we know the killer isn't among us,

I can sleep without worrying, then.

Goodnight then, everybody.

Which means...

the killer is the man wearing the black knitted cap.

The film that was inside Mr. Nigaki's camera,

are you sure the pictures are the ones

that were taken by Mr. Nigaki yesterday and today?

What?

Because it was already used, wasn't it?

It could've been inserted some time later, right?

Then, would you like to look

and compare the other pictures in this film?

The video that he filmed yesterday is also here.

The clothing of the three are all the same

in the pictures and the video.

And of course, Mr. Nigaki who is taking the pictures and filming

is virtually not included.

Moreover, most of the pictures were taken at night.

The fact that at the end of this film

there was that blood stained picture

means the pictures were taken this afternoon, doesn't it?

Nobody's gone outside

since we arrived at the lodge yesterday

to the time he left with his camera this afternoon.

Which means that he's the only one who could've take the picture.

Well, the only other possibility

is that some trick is used when developing films.

How could I have done something like that?

Ran was with me right through while I was developing the films.

Right?

Yes, she didn't do anything strange.

Besides, she even used a glove

when taking the film out of the camera

so that there wouldn't be her fingerprints on the films.

Moreover, if you look at the negative,

I'm sure you can see that nothing was done to it.

Right, if there was anything strange,

there was a picture that was completely black.

Completely black?

There were two of them

just before the picture with blood stains on them.

Pictures that were completely black and you couldn't see anything.

Really?

I think the shutter just accidentally went off

when something was over the lens covering it.

Just as I thought.

The picture with the blood stain on it is a trick after all.

But I can't figure it out.

How can you take a picture like that?

And what baffles me more

the chocolate that was by the corpse.

Putting something like that there would nullify the trick.

Hey, Saburo.

-It's your favorite ball. -Don't tell me that the killer...

is actually that man wearing the black knitted cap

who is hiding in the woods?

Huh? Strange.

When I came last year, you loved playing with the ball.

Why is the name of that dog is Saburo?

Because before him, there was a Taro and Jiro.

But they both died.

Huh? They died?

Yes, Taro was the name of my husband.

It seems that Jiro was a Shikoku dog just like Saburo.

But after the death of his first wife,

it seems to have died as if going after her.

I want to see he picture of that dog named Jiro.

I think I can find pictures of Jiro in my husband's album.

If I remember correctly,

Mr. Nigaki was using my husband's room.

Would you like me to go and get it?

I'll go with you then.

Does Saburo have some odd habits or something?

Like going out on walks a lot and stuff like that?

Nope, he usually stays inside the lodge.

The only time he goes out

is when he comes along to the grave with me.

He's a smart dog.

When we get near the grave, he runs ahead of me

and waits for me in front of the grave.

Come to think of it,

when there is a blizzard and he can't go out,

he doesn't eat his dog food.

Although he usually eats it on regular days.

Well, but on the day after the blizzard,

he seems back to his normal self and pigs out on the food.

Isn't that Ms. Ako's voice?

What's the matter?

Talk about rude!

They were in here going through Mr. Nigaki's things!

What?

Oh, no. It's not what it looks to be.

We just thought there may be clues to solving the case.

We didn't take anything.

All right. I guess I'll have to body check you.

Okay.

Let's go to the room over there.

A blood stained parker?

The blood stains are not on the stomach area.

Oh, that's the parker

that Mr. Nigaki was wearing when he got hurt.

Huh? He got hurt?

He hurt his left hand thumb

when he was dicing chocolate with a knife.

It wasn't much of a wound,

but he was surprised and flung his hand around

so the blood splattered onto his parker, too.

Granny rushed to get he first aid box,

but accidentally dropped it.

Ako who worried about him breaks out in tears.

It was a total mess, with me holding him down

from going wild and all.

Well, the worst part

was looking after Ako who got super depressed after that.

Right?

I'm sorry.

Here it is!

I found it!

See, the dog to the left is Jiro

and the dog to the right is Saburo.

He's wearing a medal he was awarded by the prefecture

when he rescued a person who got into an accident in the mountains.

I wonder if the one to the left is Saburo

and the one to the right is Jiro.

Just as I thought.

I've figured out the case.

Now I know why there were black pictures taken

before the blood stained picture,

who took the chocolate out

and why it was put near the corpse.

Also, the person who killed Mr. Nigaki.

That is...

That person!
