46. Bölüm: Kayak Öğrencilerinin Karlı Dağ Alpin Kulübesinde İşlediği Cinayet

46

Ran, Kogoro and Conan are skiing in the mountains where they meet Dr. Oyama Masashi and his students, Nakahara Kaori, Kanazawa Tomoyasu, Tobita Ginji, and Ezumi Kaho. Dr. Masashi offers to let the trio stay the night at their place due to a dangerous snowstorm. While watching his favorite soap opera, Dr. Masashi is murdered in a gruesome fashion but takes comfort in knowing Kogoro will follow the clues to track his killer down. Conan determines the murder was an inside job, and that it was one of the 4 students. Two have air-tight alibis, but the other two are suspects. Conan, through Kogoro, announces Kaori as the killer. Dr. Masashi, on the verge of death, managed to leave a dying message. Kaori, the first to find Dr. Masashi dead, understood it and attempted to wipe it away, but failed due to the blood having already dried, ("Kaori" is the same name as a shogi piece.) Kaori confesses saying Dr. Masashi stole her father’s thesis statement and took full credit. (Source: Wikipedia)
