Plot

While sorting mail at Dr. Agasa's house, Conan finds a strange letter (an invitation to a tea party)which is adressed to Shinichi.The letter was sent from a man named Moriya Teji who is a famous architect. Conan calls Ran using his voice-changing bowtie to mimic Shinchi's voice and tells her he can't go to this tea party and if she would go in his place. He tells her to bring her dad(Kogoro) and that kid(referring to Conan). Ran tells her she will do it only if he goes to a movie with her on Saturday. Conan trys to make her change the date but she is determined that it has to be on May 3rd. She then asks him whats his favourite color: Red or Blue to which he responds Red. Conan leaves the pay phone and while walking home trying to figure why she wants it to be on May 3rd. While on the way home he meets Inspector Megure who introduces him to Detective Shiratori. While eating dinner with Ran and Mouri, Ran tells Conan she's taking Shinichi to the movies on May 3rd and when it hits midnight she will give her gift to him (which is a red polo shirt). Conan then realizes that May the 4th is his birthday. Conan tricks Mouri into going to the tea party as Mouri doesn't want to go in the first place. They meet Moriya Teji and tell him that Shinichi couldnt make it but that Mouri is another famous detective. Moriya gives everyone a quiz and asks them to solve it. Conan is the first to solve it so he gets to go to see his gallery with Ran. While observing the pictures Ran tells Moriya that shes going to the movies with Shinchi and is going to be watching it in one of the buildings he designed. The next day Ran goes out to get some food and Conan goes to Agasa's house. Trying to think of what to do for his movie "date" with Ran. A news station on T.V. reported that someone stole lots of Octogen which is the main component for plastic explosives. Right after, Dr. Agasa recieves a phone call asking to talk to Shinichi, the man using a voice changing device tells Shinichi that he is the one who stole the Octogen and tells him to give his mobile phone number to him. Conan tells him his number and the man tells him to go to Greenbelt park or else the kids will die. Conan uses his Skateboard and rushes to Greenbelt park where he finds: Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitshuko tells Conan a man with a moustache and a beard gave it to them. Conan notices that there is a bomb on the plane so he takes the controller away from Mitsuhiko but he refuses to give it to him since its Genta's turn. Conan tells them there is a bomb on it and they drop it and the antenna breaks. The plane is now flying uncontrolled so Conan uses his Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes and kicks the Controller into the Plane blowing it up. Conan then realizes this isnt a prank and then gets another call telling him about another bomb. When Conan was finding the second bomb he just manages to bring to a deserted place before it blows up which sends Conan flying into a tree. He wakes up in the Hospital. They get another notice that theres more bombs planted on a train track. Using Conan's help they defuse them all. Later that day Conan, Megure, Shiratori and Mouri go to Moriya's house.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan figures out that the famous architect Teiji Moriya has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obbesssion with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his structures and replace them with symetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). Another bomb is revealed to be where Ran is. Ran and many others get trapped in the building and Conan contacts Ran and tells her she must disarm the bomb. Ran cuts through various wires using plans left by Leo and learns that one wire is booby-trapped. Ran is down to 2 wires, a red one and a blue one. Conan gets into the building and realizes the red wire is booby-traped. He is taken out of the building by police before he can tell Ran. However, much to Conan's suprise, Ran cuts the blue wire and saves everyone. Conan askes Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She tells Conan she didn't cut is because she didn't want to sever the red string between her and Shinichi. The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that's because "it's no use as long as I'm Conan".
