Case

Situation

Located in Tokyo Bay, the newly built integrated resort and convention center "Edge of Ocean" is going to host an upcoming Summit Meeting. Prior to the Summit, an explosion went off at one of the building, killing and injuring many Public Security Bureau personnel performing inspection there, including Tooru Amuro and Yuya Kazami.

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.

A preliminary investigation found the fingerprint which matches the Kogoro's, and with other evidence purportedly located inside his computer, Kogoro is arrested. After a hopeless search for a lawyer who is willing to represent Kogoro in the trial, Ran, Eri, and Conan encountered a freelance lawyer, Kyoko Tachibana, who offered to represent Kogoro in the case.

Meanwhile, the Office of the Attorney-General believes that the evidence incriminating Kogoro is sufficient to build the case, and Sayoko Iwai, the Attorney-General, instructed Makoto Kusakabe to prosecute Kogoro. At the same time, the police investigation of the case is ongoing, and it was discovered that the gas valve and pressurized cooker can be connected to the internet (Internet of Things (IoT)) and that the two was remotely accessed via Nor (resembling Tor) through Kogoro's device to cause the explosion. On the day of the conference, people are experiencing strange cases of IoT devices malfunctioning, causing electrical short circuit and fire around Tokyo. At that time, Kogoro was being held in Tokyo Penitentiary, which means Kogoro could not have been the culprit in the bombing and the IoT attack, and the case against him was dropped.

Cyberterrorism
	Location: Tokyo Victim: Tokyo residents Attack type: Hacking system Suspects: Makoto Kusakabe, Sayoko Iwai, and Kyoko Tachibana The 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 is discussing with Makoto, she suddenly starts to scream since she had been electrocuted and her hair start to burn. Makoto then extinguishes the fire and calm her.

Suicide (Past)
	Location: Tokyo Detention House Victim: Fumikazu Haba Time: A year ago Haba was caught stealing a data inside a game company by Yuya Kazami with other PSB Agent, Haba was immediately arrested. After the interrogation by PSB, he commit suicide inside his cell.

On the date the unmanned Martian mission craft called "Hakuchō" is scheduled to land, Conan deducted the identity of the culprit of the bombing and IoT attack.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

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.
