Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case
Characters introduced
File 001 - The Heisei Holmes
At a party in a mansion, high school detective Shinichi Kudo solves the murder of the host's wife. He reveals to Inspector Megure that the wheelchair-bound host is the killer and that his broken leg healed weeks ago. The next day, on the way to school, the newspapers and TV reporters are all talking about Shinichi's latest case and his childhood friend Ran Mouri is upset at him for once again taking business away from her father, a private detective. The two later go on a date to Tropical Land, as Shinichi promised they would if Ran won her karate tournament. While there, Shinichi spends a lot of time talking about his idol, Sherlock Holmes, and even guesses that a woman in line is a gymnast (because he could see marks on her thighs when the wind blew up her skirt) as a demonstration of Holmes' deduction style. This upsets Ran a little, as she was looking forward to a day with just Shinichi. On the roller coaster, a man named Kishida is mysteriously beheaded in the tunnel. The suspects are the victim's girlfriend Aiko, their two friends Hitomi (the gymnast) and Reiko, and two mysterious men in black. After Inspector Megure and the police arrive, they discover a bloody knife in Aiko's bag and arrest her.
While consoling Ran, who was upset by the crime, Shinichi sees one of the men in black headed somewhere and decides to follow him. He tells Ran to go home without him and Ran has a strange feeling she will never see him again. Shinichi spies on the man in black making a blackmail transaction with a company president. Distracted by the scene, the other man in black hits Shinichi from behind, knocking him nearly unconscious. Before they leave, the men in black give Shinichi a "new poison" that leaves no trace behind in the body. As Shinichi's body burns he thinks of Ran before finally losing consciousness. When he awakens, he has been found by security guards who refer to him as a "boy". The last panel reveals that Shinichi now has the body of a 6 year old.

File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small
File 003 - The Unwelcome Great Detective
File 004 - The Sixth Smokestack
File 005 - The Other Perpetrator
Shinichi is found by security, and is taken to an onsite medical facility. When he tries to explain who he is and what happened with the transaction, he's laughed at. Then Shinichi realizes he shrunk, and makes a quick escape out the window, where he's chased by dogs.
After escaping from the dogs, Shinichi goes home, but can't open the latch because he's too short. Then Professor Agasa, his neighbor, blows up part of his exterior wall, and soon arrives coughing on the street. Shinichi then convinces him of his identity, by correctly identifying that Agasa had just come from Cafe Columbo.
Agasa lets Shinichi inside his house, and Shinichi puts on a set of his old kid clothes. While discussing what to do, Ran barges in, and Shinichi quickly hides behind the desk in the library. Ran finds him, and he has to create a new name, so he picks Conan Edogawa, which he got from the books on the shelf he's leaning against. (Conan from Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa from Edogawa Rampo.)
After Agasa asks if Ran can take care of Conan, Ran agrees. Ran takes Conan home, and during their conversation, confesses to Conan she likes Shinichi, and has for a long time. When they arrive at Ran's home, the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is about to tell Ran the truth, but is interrupted by Ran's father Kogoro. He quickly informs Ran that he has a client, hails a cab, and hops inside, only finding out after the cab started moving that Ran and Conan joined him.
At the client's house, Kogoro is told that the master's daughter, Akiko, was kidnapped by a man in black earlier in the day. Conan soon realizes that the butler, Asao, was behaving weirdly, and quickly gives small hints to Kogoro, and Kogoro soon informs them Asao was the kidnapper. After Asao confesses, a phone call arrives from a man claiming to have kidnapped Akiko, and Conan realizes that the girl was kidnapped from her first place of confinement by someone unrelated.
Akiko is heard on the phone, and gives a hint about being in a school equipment shed and being able to see a large chimney out the window. Conan then gets on a dog and begins looking for her.
On the way home, Conan reflects on the events of the case, and wonders how he'll be able to catch the men in black in the form of a child. Ran asks Kogoro if Conan can stay, and he agrees.
