The killer was '''Akiko Yonehara''', inspired by the death of little Minako Mochizuki. Minako had found out that Sugiyama and another teacher (Shimoda, but she didn't tell his name to Yonehara) were involved in a fraud, and added that she was planning to confront the unnamed teacher. The girl was found hanged in the school gym few days later, and while everyone thought Minako had commited suicide under the effect of stress over the upcoming exams, Yonehara deduced that she had been killed by Sugiyama and his accomplice.

Minako had found out that Sugiyama and another teacher (Shimoda, but she didn't tell his name to Yonehara) were involved in a fraud, and added that she was planning to confront the unnamed teacher.

 +
Knowing the identity of only one of Minako's two murderers, Yonehara organized the trip to gather the teachers that she knew Minako was a fan of. She first killed Sugiyama and left his body hidden outside the lodge to freeze ''and'' trick people in regards to the time of his death. Later, she attacked Sonoko to have an alibi, then immediately afterwards pretended to be a victim as well (using Sugiyama's body to such effects - that's the corpse Sonoko ''actually'' saw before being attacked), and used her lipstick to spell out Minako's name in all of these cases. Shimoda's panicked reaction upon realizing the last detail revealed his involvment to her, so she tricked him into meeting up with her and killed him as well.

The murder weapon was Yonehara's wig: she had cut her hair too short for her liking a while ago and hid it via a very long wig, and then decided to use it to strangle her victims (excluding Sonoko as seen in the picture) without leaving clues. Ran says that there were small bloody scratches on the dead Shimoda's neck, and that there are be some droplets of his blood in the wig...

Once she's uncovered, Yonehara takes off the wig. She admits her responsability for the crimes and says she couldn't forgive teachers who betray students and injure/kill them, but then she adds she's no one to talk because she harmed Sonoko to make her trick work.

Ran, whose emotional state had slowly taken a nosedive as Conan relayed the deductions to her, gets ready to leave the room, barely reacting to Moori telling her that he'll write a great article on "her" deductions. She sees Conan standing outside the hall, ready to "tell" her that Shinichi is gone; before he can do so, she falls to her knees and hugs him tearfully. Two hours later the snowstorm stops, and the police arrives.

    The Arabic dub faced some controversy over juvenile suicide as portrayed in Episode 26, as it was linked to various real-life juvenile suicides in the region, alleged by local mainstream media as an imitation of what happened in the episode. As a result, this episode was significantly delayed from broadcast, and aired eventually with substantial changes to the ending to remove that aspect. In the Arabic version plot, all the teachers are ski instructors except for the killer, Minako is the killer's little long-haired brother, who fell in a snow hole during ski practice and none of his instructors helped him get out of the hole, out of cowardice, watching him as he is buried alive by snow. However, parts of the Minako flashback scene with girl Minako hanged from the ceiling were still left in clashing with the spoken dialogue.
