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. Just then, a man in a ski mask, goggles, and a scarf comes in when one of the hunters opens the door. He knocks one of the hunters out and in his goggles a shot revealing Makoto. Ran knocks the other hunter out with a kick. Makoto demands Sonoko to tell her who is the other boy she is dating as he has not received her hand-made knitted sweater (She gave up due to its difficulty), her hand-made pottery glass (he mistook it to be a vase) and the chocolate (She refused to tell who it is for). He gets ready to fight until Sonoko tells him the chocolate was for him. Later on Ran cries because of Shinichi while Conan watches in the shadows. Ran wakes up to find her jacket blanketing her. She received a picture of herself sleeping from Detective Kid who is Conan with Shinichi's voice. Conan pretended Shinichi paid a visit and ate her chocolate due to hunger while she was asleep. Ran becomes angry due to Shinichi not waking her up to meet him.

    • 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);

    • 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.
