[[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], and [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]] went to see [[Spider|Gunter Von Goldberg II]]'s greatest illusion show. During one of his shows, he was able to create an illusion of a beautiful field and children from the audience being raised into the sky and turned into cherubs. Aoko was so surpised and couldn't figure out the illusionist's trick. Kaito thinks it's probably a mixture of digital effects and hypnosis.

The police inspector from the Kaitou Kid task force, [[Ginzo Nakamori]] prepares his team of police officers for Kid's arrival. There's eight helicopters flying around and over two hundred officers guarding from the tower. It is now airing on television. Everyone is watching television including Aoko and [[Keiko Momoi|Keiko]]. Nakamori hesitates with the time by synchronizing his watch, and is interrupted by the date and time down to the millisecond. [[Saguru Hakuba]] has arrived, with a silver pocketwatch, inverness coat, and high attention to detail. Nakamori recognizes Saguru Hakuba from the news, but dismisses him as an amateur until [[Hakuba family|Superintendent General Hakuba]], the head of the Tokyo police force and Saguru's father, persuades Nakamori to show his son the ropes of real police work. Convinced to work with Saguru Hakuba, Nakamori offers to answer any questions, only to be interrogated about details regarding Kid that no one has answers to. However, Hakuba has no interest of catching Kaitou Kid.
