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 007 - The Bloody Case of the Lovely Pop Idol
Seeing the dead body, Kogoro Mouri immediately called Ran to inform the Police. Inspector Juzo Megure turns up at the crime scene with his police officers. He was disappointed to see Kogoro, the ex-cop who have always been a nightmare to the inspector, turning up at the crime scene as a Private Eye.The Inspector than complained about the heat in the room and asks Yoko Okinowhether it is usually that warm and she answered that it usually isn't. The inspector then asked her whether she recognized who the victim is. The manager then asked the inspector for permission to take a closer look at the victim. As he was moving towards the victim, he intentionally tripped on the blood to make himself fall. As he was getting up, Conan noticed that he was picking something up but kept quiet. The manager then told the inspector that they had no idea who the victim is. Their conversation was then interrupted by Conan who was pointing out the weird things in the room, which made Kogoro smack him hard on his head. Conan still continued to investigate the Crime Scene and at the midst of it, he noticed an earing on the floor. He uses the Voice-Changing Bowtie to tell the inspector about it. The earing happened to belong to Ikezawa yuuko, a celebrity who has a grudge on Yoko Okino. The inspector then ordered a few of his men to bring her up to the Crime scene as she might've been the killer.
File 008 - Resemblance
Ikezawa Yuuko wan furious at the police for making her come all the way to the crime scene. She said that although she had a grudge on Yoko Okino for taking her lead role away, they should be more wary of the owner of the apartment first. Kogoro then held the earring up and asked her whether or not it belongs to her. She said yes and went to the bathroom claiming that the hypothesis the police drew was ridiculous.As she was heading to the bathroom, Conan notices that they look identical from the back. And after she finished using the toilet, she went into the living room again and took a statue which was actuially a lighter to light her cigarette. Conan then shouted that she was smart as she knew that that is a lighter, not a normal statue, despite her comment that she've never been to the house. As the inspector and Kogoro was starting to suspect her, Conan then asked Yoko where the bathroom is which made the inspector remember that Yuuko have already known where the bathroom is without asking anyone. Kogoro then started accusing her which made her own up that she have actually been into the apartment of Yoko Okino. She said that since she hated Yoko, she started harrasing her by sending her pictures of her that she took secretly but then, that still didn't influence her job. So, she decided to steal her key and break into Yoko's house. As she was entering earlier that afternoon, A man grabbed her from behind and she tried to fight him off. After managing to fight him off, she ran away.Then, a forensic came into the room, saying that the victim graduated from the same high school as Yoko which made Yoko tell the truth that she was his boy friend then but he dumped her. But as soon as she became famous, he started coming to her house again and ask her whether they can be together again.She said that she actually recognised the victim at her first sight but the manager told her not to tell the police about their her relationship with the victim. Conan then started to search for clues again and noticed a mark on the floor. As he was driving his conclusion in his head, Kogoro jumps up and shouted that he have figured out who the murderer is.
