Kogoro reveals who the murderer is and it is reveal to be '''Ako Amari'''. She was angered at her boyfriend who supposedly was recording long footage of an avalanche that killed an innocent man, thereby acting as a bystander to a man in need of help, and possibly causing the avalanche. It was revealed however, that he was recording evidence of the two lodge hunters who caused that accident and intended as a samaritan to report it to the police. The two hunters congratulate Amari, revealing that they planned to murder that person the whole time to avoid blackmail from the crime they committed.

    • Conan's realization of who the murderer at the end of episode 267 is accompanied with a picture of the criminal.

    Trivia

    • The case of "Bloody Valentine's" was the day when Al Capone's men shot down seven members of Bugs Moran's gang with machine guns as they stood in front of a garage on February 14th, 1929.
    • The suspects' names are related to chocolates and chocolate-making:
    • Chiyoko Yuasa (湯浅 千代子) is related to chocolate (the katakana for Chiyoko is チヨコ and the katakana for the "choco" in chocolate is チョコ) and the heating and foaming of the chocolate (Yuasa 湯浅 is similar to Yusen 湯煎, which means boiling with water);
    • Yoshitaka Nigaki (二垣 佳貴) is related to bitter (bitter, or niga 苦 in Japanese is phonetically similar to the niga in Nigaki), like the bitter cocoa before it becomes chocolate, and chocolate cakes (the characters for Yoshitaka 佳貴 can also be read "keiki", like the Japanese word for cake, which is kēki);
    • Mika Konakawa (粉川 実果) is related to icing sugar (粉砂糖) and fruits (果実);
    • Ako Amari (甘利 亜子) is related to sweetness (甘);
    • Yuzo Sakami (酒見 祐三) is related to liquor-filled chocolates (酒 stands for alcohol);
    • Hajime Itakura (板倉 創) is related to chocolate bars (板チョコ means chocolate bar in Japanese);
    • Also, the characters of Reiko Yuasa, Chiyoko's husband's previous wife, whose first name completes the word chocolate (the katakana for Reiko is レイコ and the katakana for the rēto in chocorēto is レート) and Natsuya Amari, whose first name refers to nuts (ナッツ or Nattsu is Japanese for nuts) also fit in the theme of chocolate.
