-The file cover is Conan standing alone in an empty "square" in front of a large flag, observing it. (The flag was the murder weapon)
- Takagi is talking and has a mental visualization of how the culprit could have killed the victim. The culprit hit the victim with the flag pole on the head and then ran away with the pole.
- Sato handcuffs herself to a lamp-post (handcuffing both her hands and using the chain to tie herself to the lamp-post) to exhibit the trick that "Shamoto" (one of the suspects) preformed, where she was previously handcuffed by the victim but managed to get them off.
- The suspect (Kawano?) says that he witnessed the victim chasing after Shimoto after Heiji irritated him, Sato intruded and gave Kawano a cautionary hit
- The third suspect, Genai, tries to flirt with Sato.
- Conan and Heiji spot strange dirty areas on the bottom of his pants.
- Shimoto says that Genai has motive to commit the crime.
- Kawano accuses Shimoto of not having an alibi.
- There is tension between Shimoto and Genai.
- The victim's body has been transported away from the crime scene.
- While Conan and Heiji check out the crime scene, Ran and Kazuha play around with the snowmen until one of it's eyes falls out. Sato picks it up and tries to return it to the snowman, but she loses her balance and Takagi helps her... at this point, Conan and Heiji realize the culprit's trick.
- Conan and Heiji happily look at each other having finally cracked the case; Ran stares at Heiji intensely and in the Last panel considers that he is indeed Heiji.
- 1069 will be the resolution.
