Case

Situation

Ran and Conan accompany Jirokichi Suzuki to Narita Airport to wait for the arrival of Edward Munch's Anxiety and Despair. These two paintings were checked to have no defects, so they were packed and transferred to Suzuki Art Museum by a truck. The three of them get in a car and follow the truck.

Meanwhile, Munch's Scream arrived at Haneda Airport, and after it was checked to have no problems, it was sent to the museum by another truck. However, Hiroshi Numajiri tells Jirokichi that the truck carrying Scream drove off course and disappeared without leaving traces.

At the museum there are also Sonoko, Ai, and the Detective Boys. Ran can't contact Shinichi to solve this case, because the boy is reflecting on the situation with Ai and can't hear his phone vibrates in his jacket pocket, so she does to intervene his father. Before they contacted the police for theft, it turns out that the painting was only transported in very late for traffic problems, but Conan is not entirely convinced and continues to investigate.

When Conan discovers the truth, he calls Ran's cellphone with Shinichi's voice and solves the case in first person, even if he ends its with Kogoro's voice for not arouse too much suspicion.

The culprit is the president Keiji Shimamura, who unpacked the 'Scream' because he wanted to take a picture with the painting at his house. After careful consideration and with great disappointment of Numajiri, Jirokichi Suzuki decides to not call the police, but in exchange the culprit will ask a friend of his youth in the United States to pay the old man of his Vincent Van Gogh's painting for the exhibition that he intended to open in Japan: Three Sunflowers in a Vase, the first painting on sunflowers in Arles.
