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, Haibara, and the Detective Boys. Ran can't contact Shinichi to solve this case, because the boy is reflecting on the situation with Haibara and can't hear his phone vibrates in his jacket pocket, so she does to intervene his father.

Conan discovers the truth and calls Ran with Shinichi's voice and begins solving the case. Conan then makes Kogoro fall asleep and uses his voice as to not arouse too much suspicion. The culprit is revealed to be 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 to Numajiri's great disappointment, Jirokichi Suzuki decides to not call the police, but in exchange Shimamura will ask a childhood friend 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.
