Heiji tells Conan that he met a better Detective than Conan during his middle school years and reminisces about the case. At a ski resort, an actor named Shouhei Minowa, is murdered in the same fashion as his stunt performer, Jirou Mizugami, who was murdered four years ago. Minowa is killed while on a ski lift and the gun is placed in his hand suggesting suicide. Minowa's bag is filled with snow to suggest that a Yuki-onna murdered him. Heiji and the unknown Detective, revealed to be Shinichi, investigates and realizes how the murder is done. Heiji reveals his deductions to the police while Shinichi tells them over the phone. They both reveal that the Minowa who skied for his fans was actually his stunt double in disguise, Kousuke Mimata, and that the bag Minowa was hiding in a bag Mimata was carrying. On the ski lift, Mimata kills Minowa and grabs the a similar pre-arranged bag containing snow with the use of his ski pole and places it in his seat before dropping down from the ski lift. As evidence, Heiji and Shinichi reveal that Mimata should have Minowa's clothes underneath. Mimata confesses and reveals that Minowa was afraid Mizugami would reveal to the public that Minowa did not perform in skiing scenes in his movies which motivated Minowa to murder Mizugami. Later that day, Heiji and Shinichi pass each other, without meeting face to face, and acknowledges the each others deduction abilities.
