kaishin friends!!!! please help me find this one kaishin fic i read in ffnet (i think). it's about:

kaito being accused of a crime (i think murder?) but he can't give an alibi cause he was doing some kaitou kid stakeout or something

it was in a snowy area? i remember the house where the jewel kaito was checking out was was on a snowy mountain (?)

i'm not sure but i think hakuba was desperately trying to make kaito spill what he was doing that night so he can have an alibi but kaito doesn't want to reveal he's kid

at this point i don't think kaito and shinichi "know" each other yet in their civilian identities but shinichi shows up to the station all rugged and disheveled (cos he was up all night trying to prove kaito's innocence)

i remember people being bewildered by why shinichi would go so far for someone he "doesn't know"

i remember that it was an old lady witness who saw kaito walking the night of the crime that proved kaito's innocence (?)

I'm pretty sure I'm not making this up but I really can't find this fic or maybe I missed it through my search ;-; I probably read this in late 2021 or early 2022 and I wanna reread it so bad because tired shinichi my beloved LOL. If you know it or can find it, please hit me up thank you!!!!
