Case

Situation

"Edge of Ocean", a newly-built conference and commercial centre, is being prepared to host an international summit. A day before the guests are due to arrive, a restaurant in of the inter-connected buildings is destroyed by an explosion.  Members of the Public Security Bureau,  including Tooru Amuro and Yuya Kazami, who were in the middle of a security inspection, are injured in the blast and there are several casualties.

Bombing-Murder
	Location: Edge of Ocean, Tokyo Victim: Police officers inside the building (fatal) and outside (non-fatal include Tooru Amuro and Yuya Kazami). Cause of death: Explosion Suspects: Kogoro Mouri As officers were patrolling in preparation of the summit, a bomb exploded inside the Edge of the Ocean in the Japanese traditional restaurant.

To everyone's shock and dismay, the fingerprints recovered at the explosion site, match Kogoro's, and police discover further "evidence" on his computer. Nobody seems to be willing to represent Kogoro in the upcoming criminal trial, until Ran, Eri, and Conan are contacted by Kyoko Tachibana, a freelance lawyer, who says she will take on Kogoro's case.

Chief prosecutor Sayoko Iwai reviews the evidence and decides she has got enough to bring Kogoro to trial. She instructs Makoto Kusakabe, one of her prosecutors, to bring charges against Kogoro. The police are still investigating, however, and current findings point to a surprising theory - the gas valve and pressurized cooker used to set off the explosion can be connected to the internet (Internet of Things (IoT)) and that they were remotely accessed via a Nor browser being installed on Kogoro's laptop to set the bomb off. The police hold a press conference presenting their findings and just before it begins, citizens of Tokyo experience all sorts of cases of IoT- devices short-circuiting and setting off small fires. Kogoro was still in prision while these malfunctions happen, which proves he couldn't have been the culprit to begin with, the charges are dropped and Kogoro is released from prison.

Cyberterrorism
	Location: Tokyo Victim: Tokyo residents Attack type: Hacking system Suspects: Makoto Kusakabe, Sayoko Iwai, and Kyoko Tachibana Several IoT devices start malfunctioning causing widespread panic in some districts of Tokyo including Beika.

Attempted Murder or Accident?
	Location: Prosecutor's office Victim: Sayoko Iwai Age: 40 years old Injury: Electrocution Suspects: Makoto Kusakabe and Kyoko Tachibana As Sayoko and Makoto discussed Kogoro's case, her hair suddenly caught fire by electrocution. Makoto extinguished the fire and helped her.

Suicide (Past)
	Location: Tokyo Detention House Victim: Fumikazu Haba Time: A year ago Haba worked at a games company and was caught stealing data by Agent Kazami and the PSA. He was immediately arrested and committed suicide in his cell.

Conan continues his investigation and finally figures out the true culprit behind the bombings and IoT attacks, on the same day that "Hakuchō" , an unmanned Japanese spacecraft that had been on Mars, is due to land in Tokyo bay.

Resolution

The true culprit is the prosecutor Makoto Kusakabe. He employed an assistant named Fumikazu Haba, who previously worked with and fall in love with Tachibana. During the investigation by Kusakabe, Haba discovered that the culprit that hacks into the system of NAZU (resembling NASA) are working in a game company. Haba was arrested for breaking into the game company and was presumed dead after the interrogation by Amuro, causing Kusakabe to exact revenge on the Public Security Bureau. Amuro then revealed that Haba's death was faked to ensure that the public prosecutor will not employ the help of the assistant in the same manner as he did to Haba again. However, Kusakabe already hacked into the system to change the projectile of the capsule launched from Hakuchō to crash to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police building, but he causes blackout at the building and initiates the IoT attack at the nearby vicinity to allow police personnel and other residents to be evacuated to the Edge of Ocean. Although Kusakabe relented and gave up the access code, it was almost too late, and Conan and Amuro employed help from Professor Agasa, Haibara, and the Detective Boys to detonate the bomb near the capsule in order for the capsule to fall into the harmless spot. With the point of impact being the casino tower at the Edge of Ocean, Amuro and Conan race against time and traffic to allow Conan to shoot the ball to deflect the capsule, and the capsule falls harmlessly into the water. In the end, Amuro tell Conan that he purposely involved Kogoro in order for Conan to solve the case, since it would have been impossible for him to have actually investigated the case, otherwise.

Trivia

The poster.

• This movie became the second highest grossing Detective Conan movie, just after The Fist of Blue Sapphire.
• In order to know more about where his character works, Rei Furuya's voice actor read the book Secret Police Division J before recording the lines for his character.
• A police poster represents volume 23.
• Kyoko Tachibana bears a resemblance with Kensuke Tachibana, the famous and corrupt Tokyo lawyer killed in The Bay of Revenge, and has the same surname kanji. The movie doesn't show the picture on her former law office's desk, but the painting near the door is about the threes on the left of Tachibana villa, and the one behind her about some threes at the cape where he lived. It's only a speculation, but she could probably be his daughter. Open spoiler box to see images.
