A day before the opening of the Toto Line, a new line of the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway, governor Yuichiro Asakura receives a bomb threat.
The following day, while the Toto Line is formally opened,Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys go on a trip with Professor Agasa and Agasa's car passes directly underneath the new subway tracks.
Conan, who heard about the bomb threat, spots explosives tied to the rails as the car passes them. He decides to act immediately, calling the police and using his bow-tie to change his voice to Shinichi Kudo's. With Conan's help, the police are able to divert the new trains away from the bombs and prevent casualties.

Investigating Asakura's background, Conan learns that the governor authorised construction of a dam in Kitanosawa, a town in Niigata prefecture. Kitanosawa was evacuated to make room for the dam, the citizens had to leave their homes and their houses were flooded by the new dam. Since Asakura has been forced to cancel an upcoming trip to Kitanosawa to celebrate the anniversary of the dam, Conan speculates the bomber could have ties to the former town and decides to continue his investigation in Kitanosawa.
Conan, the Detective Boys, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Sonoko Suzuki travel to Kitanosawa and have a fun day in the snow. They befriend a few former citizens, childhood friends Keisuke Yamao, Mizuki Tono, Fuyumi Tachihara, Tahehiko Muto and Shogo Hikawa. The friends were among the citizens that decided to relocate to the new village after Kitanosawa was flooded.
They also explain that they haven't seen each other for eight years because Yamao had to spend several years in prison for accidentally killing Mizuki's younger sister Natsuki in a hit-and-run. Fuyumi's son Toma was in a serious incident a day after Natsuki's death and has been in a coma ever since.

The murderer then waited for snowfalls and walked backwards in Hikawa's footprints to make everyone suspect Hikawa was alone. The sun sets, causing a diamond-like dust to appear in the sky and Toma suddenly has a flashback to the day of the accident.

Resolution
Conan catches up with his friends and leads them towards the dam.
He explains that Keisuke Yamao has been responsible for Hikawa's murder and the destruction of the cellphone tower. Yamao was the robber who attacked the jewelry shop in Shinjuku and escaped by car to Kitanosawa. On his way, he accidentally ran over Natsuki and killed her. Toma witnessed the car accident. Yamao kidnapped Toma to avoid having witnesses. Toma spotted the diamonds Yamao stole (which is why he started to remember when he saw the diamond dust in the sky earlier), escaped from Yamao and fell down a cliff, injuring his head and falling into a coma. After losing Toma, Yamao buried the diamonds on a property in Kitanosawa and turned himself in for Natsuki's death. The dam project flooded the village of Kitanosawa, making Yamao unable to search for his bounty after he got out of prison. Therefore, he decided to bomb the dam to continue his search in the remains of the former village. To have more time to search, he had to come up with a reason to delay Governor Asakura's trip to Kitanosawa dam and destroy the cellphone towers to prevent news of the destruction of the dam reaching the rest of the country.

Upon seeing Mizuki, Toma suddenly remembers the entire accident again. It was Mizuki who argued with her sister and gave Natsuki a shove, causing her to stumble onto the road and being fatally hit by Yamao's car. Mitzuki confesses that she shot at Toma earlier to prevent him from remembering the accident and she claims she did not want her sister to die.
Mizuki and Natsuki eight years ago.
Yamao, having set off the bombs in the dam, forces them to flee. Conan diverges from the group intending to start an avalanche by creating grooves in a steep mountain with his motorized snowboard to divert the flow away from Kitanosawa. He is successful, but his motor short-circuits, causing him to be caught in the avalanche.
