* {{Creepypasta}}: The legend of the snow goblin, which one participant discovers online before disclosing to all early in the case arc, is actually a GhostStory that the culprit had posted and spread online, in an attempt to provide deflective backup to ward off suspicion from others.[[note]] It might be possible that the disappeared village had a potentially plausible origin, as the CEO's secretary reveals early in the case arc that there indeed ''was'' a village near where the ski resort is that no longer exists, but not so much for the mass murders/disappearances, and even the participant revealing the story questions the veracity of the legend himself.[[/note]]

* BaitAndSwitchSilhouette: After managing to see Sabaki's laptop files, Miyuki offers to take the laptop to her own cottage and look more into the files while Hajime does more fieldwork. The culprit, however, has overheard them and, disguised as the snow goblin, attacks Miyuki as she's alone in her cottage. Upon hearing her scream, Kindaichi quickly makes his way to her cottage and encounters a silhouette, which makes him wonder whether it's the snow goblin he's meeting... before the silhouette gives away to indicate Miyuki, shaken by the attack and slightly disheveled due to the snowy weather outside but otherwise unharmed.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: When Hajime and Miyuki come across Sabaki's personal laptop after the latter has fallen to murder, they're greeted with the screen requiring the correct password in order to open and view his files. Kindaichi recounts seeing Sabaki fiddling with his own smartphone in order to enter the password to it in order to unlock it and that Sabaki moved one finger vertically to do so, from which he deduces that the password of choice is "2580". Hajime then inputs the same code on the laptop... and it works at once.

* SeesawCatapult: After one girl has been ruled as missing, something suddenly crashes through a glass window before landing on the floor, providing JumpScare to everyone, with the object in question being identified as a bloody cleaver. Shortly after Sabaki is found murdered, Hajime and Miyuki scour the snow-covered ground outside the resort cottage and discover a wooden bucket, from which Kindaichi deduces that a short wooden plank was placed on a rock to imitate a seesaw, the bloody cleaver on the lower side of said plank, and the bucket on the higher side, and that the heating system in the resort cottage caused the snow to melt and fall into the bucket, giving the bucket enough weight to launch the cleaver into the interior for all to witness.

* NeverFoundTheBody: According to a professional skier who's among the participants in this case arc, a legend goes that there was a small village half a century ago being located near where the ski resort is in the present day, but nearly all of its inhabitants disappeared on one snowy night, save for a twelve-year-old girl, who became the SoleSurvivor among all of the villagers. It's been believed that this was a mass murder, but none of the bodies among the disappeared villages has ever been found, and that a demonic entity known around the region as "snow goblin" was the culprit.

** Exploited by the culprit, who chose a time when heavy snowfall would take place to host the ski resort program. The reasons, which Kindaichi reveals during TheSummation, are to count on the falling snow to cover his tracks as he moves and give himself an alibi and, should his plan become derailed, use the local legend of the snow goblin as backup to clear himself of suspicion.
