Conan wonders how the murder was done since no footprint was found in the snow.
The Suspicion
The members of the lounge decide to leave the Hamano's body untouched to preserve the crime scene and retreat back into the lounge. They discuss among themselves and believe that the club member with the Username Dark Master is the murderer. Conan, Ran, Kikue Tanaka, and Katsuki Doito, head upstairs to retrieve a sweater. While upstairs, an arrow breaks through the window and almost hits them. At the same time, another arrow breaks through the window on the bottom floor. The people of the lounge head outside to investigate and find a crossbow on the ground. The people begin to believe that the culprit is an outsider of the club. Conan investigates and notices that there was evidence that something was stapled to the outside of the house. Conan realizes how the murders are done.
The Resolution
Conan recreates the crossbow attack on the top floor and lures everyone outside.
