Case
Situation
At the beginning of the movie, Ran dreams about her mother Eri getting shot. After waking up she immediately calls Eri to ask if she is okay and tells her mother abut her dream.
The scene then briefly changes to a scene of a jail, where a man named Jo Murakami holds out a notebook that says, "Beika City, Kogoro Mouri."
The scene transitions again to the Detective Boys waiting for Professor Agasa on a bench . While waiting, Ayumi plays with a love oracle, and the machine tells her her and Conan are a perfect match. She then asks the oracle to tell Conan's romantic fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)". Conan wonders just how old that machine is - "A", "B" and so on were very ancient expressions for romantic events. Agasa finally turns up and takes the Detective Boys to the Tohto[1] Aeronautic Memorial Museum.
There are many kinds of helicopters and planes on display at the museum. Agasa wants to ask his traditional riddle to the children, but Mitsuhiko interrupts him and tells everyone he has also got a riddle for them. Mitsuhiko's riddle: Three guys, born on New Year's Day, April Fool's, and Children's Day formed a club. What was their club called? The answer: Tonakai (Reindeer). If you add up their birthdays, they become To-na-kai, a kind of audio-visual pun. Conan figures out the answer, and they spot the photographer Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum.
Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Jo Murakami is shown knocking on the door. When he gets no answer, he leaves.
Ran and Sonoko attend an autograph session with Minoru Nishina who has written several cookbooks. Ran is a big fan of Nishina's and tells him to keep writing "tasty" books. The girls later go to a café, and Ran tells Sonoko about the fight that caused Kogoro and Eri to separate when she was seven years old. Ran also says they are going to meet up with Eri for dinner at seven o'clock that evening.
Conan comes back home late just as Kogoro is getting ready for their dinner. The TV is on and Katsuyoshi Asashi, the owner of "Aquacrystal", a new entertainment complex, is being interviewed. Ran turns the TV off and tells Conan to hurry up and get changed.
When they meet Eri at the restaurant "La Fleur", she is as sharp as always, correctly guessing that Kogoro would be late because he played mahjong until late the night before. Hiroki Tsuji, a professional golfer and an acquaintance of Kogoro's, also enters the restaurant and Kogoro introduces him to his family. Tsuji explains he is currently training for the US Open.
During dinner, Ran shows a suprising amount of knowledge about wine, explaining to Conan why the sommelier Kohei Sawaki wears a grape badge and what a tastevin is for. Eri and Kogoro realise their daughter has grown up a lot. Conan enjoys his meal as well. Ran notices he has got some foid in the corner of his mouth, and tries to wipe him off with a napkin. Conan thinks back to the oracle telling him he has "A chance for a kiss" and blushes. Kogoro interrupts them to wipe Conan's mouth off roughly. Kogoro and Eri get along surprisingly well during dinner. They remember going on a date to the same restaurant ten years earlier and revel in the memory for a bit, when Kogoro suddenly notices Peter Ford, a journalist, near Towako Okano. Kogoro gets jealous, believing Ford is flirting with Okano and Eri angrily gets up and leaves as she has enough of Kogoro's flirting with other women.
A week later, Inspector Megure is shot by an arrow while out for a run with his wife.

Kogoro, the Detective Boys, and Ranvisit Megure in the hospital. Shiratori tells them that the arrow was shot from a crossbow, and a western sword was found at the scene.
Eri is at work and her assistant brings her a package with Zigoba chocolates. The brand is Eri's favourite and Kogoro used to give it to her as a present. She therefore believes Kogoro has sent the chocolates, trying to make up with her, eats one, and collapses to the floor. There was poison in the chocolate.

Midori Kuriyama calls for an ambulance and gets Eri to the hospital in time so she survives the poisoning. There is a paper flower on the chocolate box that seems familiar to Conan.
Conan visits Professor Agasa to get his skateboard repaired. Suddenly someone throws a rock through Agasa's front door. Agasa goes to look for the culprit and someone drives by on a motorcycle and shoots at him with a crossbow.

Conan chases after the culprit with his skateboard but loses him at a crossoad. He contacts the Detective Boys with their micro remitter and tells them to keep an eye out for a motorcycle. The children spot the culprit racing past them and quickly tell Conan who gives chase. When the attacker sees Conan, he makes a sudden sharp turn and rides up and down a stairway. Conan tries to follow, but is distracted by an old woman who stumbles on the stairs, and loses sight of the attacker. Back at Agasa's house, Conan finds a mysterious object in the grass, and finally realizes the connection between the sword, the flower, and the strange object, as well as the victims.
The sword, flower, and the strange object are objects held by the King, Queen, and Jack of playing cards. In addition, Megure's first name, Juzo, can be read as 13. Kisaki in English means Queen. Agasa's last name Hiroshi's last character, shi, is a combination of 10 and 1. Megure visits Eri, Ran, Kogoro and Conan at hospital and tells them that the police believe Jo Murakami might be responsible for the murders. Kogoro says it wouldn't shock him if Murakami had a grudge against him, seeing as it was Kogoro who arrested Murakami ten years earlier. Shiratori tries to explain everything to Ran and Conan but Megure interrupts him. Kogoro is shocked as he realises that he knows someone with ten, or "tou" in her name- Towako Okano. The police quickly dispatch two officers to her house. Ran and Conan ask Shiratori what he was going to say and he explains that Murakami was resisting arrest and held Eri, who had come to pick Kogoro up from work, hostage.

Kogoro had been trained not to shoot in a hostage situation, but he did so in that case, injuring Eri, but freeing her and getting Murakami arrested. This was the case that led Kogoro to quit the police force.
When Conan calls Ran as Shinichi later, she asks him if he would do the same if Ran was held hostage, even if it meant injuring Ran. Conan says that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he wonders if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.
At the agency, Conan later remembers another person with "ten" in his name, Hiroki Tsuji. Megure, Kogoro, and Shiratori quickly rush to Tsuji's house along with Ran and Conan. Tsuji was planning to go on a helicopter ride. The police warn him not to leave but he refuses to cancel the trip. He does allow Megure and Kogoro to escort him to Tohto[1] Airport. Conan sneaks onto the helicopter as well. During the flight, Tsuji suddenly can't keep his eyes open any longer and can't stand the sunlight.

Conan attempts to land the helicopter at Teitan Elementary. In addition, Conan contacts the Detective Boys, who attempt to evacuate everyone in the schoolyard. However, the helicopter hits a downdraft, causing it to crash. The helicopter later explodes due to a gas leak.
The eye drops that Tsuji used turned out to be mydriatic medicine, making Tsuji's pupils dilate and cause him to be blinded by the sun. Because mydriatic medicine takes from 10 days to two weeks, Tsuji ends up unable to participate in the U.S. Open. Kogoro mentions that he knows no one with nine in their name, but he knows an eight, Kohei Sawaki. Megure, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran visit Kohei Sawaki at his residence. Sawaki turns out to have a somewhat large collection of wine in his apartment, and while Conan is walking, he notices some damage on the floor. Sawaki mentions that he dropped a wine bottle there. Sawaki mentions that he will be going to Aquacrystal, to have a meeting with the owner Asahi about the restraunt over there. At the moment, Shiratori then notices there is a nine in Asahi.
Conan and Ran follow Megure and Kogoro over to Aquacrystal, where they meet Osani Nana-san (seven), Nishina Minoru (two), Shishido Eimei (six), Peter Ford (Four) - Last name (Ford) has phonetic similarity to "four." They ride the monorail over to the main complex. Once they get to the restaraunt, they notice that Shiratori Ninzaburo has a three. Ran mentions that Shinichi is one.
Osani then challenges Minoru Nishina, saying the restaraunt Nishina recommended was terrible. Osani gives Nishina a blind tasting challenge, where Nishina incorrectly deducts Chambertin. Sawaki then correctly deducts the wine, saying it was a Beaujolais Moulin-a-Vent.
Conan gets some juice for Ran, and suprisingly Kogoro takes the other juice instead of drinking beer. When Conan goes and gets some more juice, he notices Sawaki tasting some chili powder.
When the crew later browses the wine chamber, Sawaki narrowly dodges a booby trap apparently setup by Murakami.

The police realize that Asahi may be already dead. While the crew tries to leave, Nana notices the drowned body of Asahi, and the entrance to the restaurant is locked.

Conan asks Nana about her strange wording when she heard about Murakami's release. Depressed with guilt, Nana reveals about an accident she caused 3 months ago due to her reckless driving.

The emergency exit is blocked with cement, leaving no way of escape. The rest spread out to look for alternate exits, Nana stays behind with Ran and Conan. Conan decides to join the men in the search, but Ran catches him. At the same time, the power is cuts, sending Nana into a panic. When the lights come back on, Nana is found stabbed.

When Conan notices the culprit grabbed Nana with their right hand, he realizes Murakami is not the culprit as Murakami is left-handed.
Conan goes and gets some mineral water for everyone. While everyone drinks, Conan mentions he found the true culprit. At that moment, the lights go off by an explosion. Another explosion causes the restaraunt to flood. Kogoro saves Nishina, who is a hopeless swimmer, and Conan notices everyone but Ran made it.

It's shown Ran's feet was caught in the car's wheel, so Conan goes bail her out. When Conan tries to save her, however, he ends up getting his leg stuck and goes out. However, Ran gives the oxygen that Conan had given to her in the form of a kiss, then passes out. Conan quickly uses the elastic suspenders to move the car, and save both himself and Ran.
The crew later finds another exit due to the flooding. When Sawaki tries to give CPR to Nishina, Conan, using Kogoro's voice, insists that Shiratori do the CPR instead. While CPR is given, Conan knocks Kogoro out and starts deducing through him.
