Liar.

Thief.

Sonoko?

All the programs for today have ended.

Thank you very much for your patronage.

What's the matter, Sonoko?

You're the one who wanted to come to watch this thief movie, right?

But...

Part one was really good

so I expected this one to be even better.

But, they're just doing the same thing over again?

Talk about a meaningless part two!

I see. I kind of enjoyed it.

Kind of isn't good enough!

Well, most second editions are like that.

How I wish that somewhere,

an incident so incredible would make my heart beat so badly

that it would erase all the sounds around me!

Sonoko.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen that guy around recently.

Today's culprit is Thief Kid.

He may be able to deceive everyone else,

but I'm protecting the treasure and my dream.

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

This is what I wanted to see.

Hey!

Wait up, you!

When you bump into people you're supposed to apologize!

Hey, Sonoko.

Sonoko, your bag...

-Mugged? -Mugged?

Sonoko, stay here!

Why should I listen to that glasses boy?

Hey, wait!

Go get him, Lupin!

Lupin?

Stop it.

"Thief Kid's Wondrous Sky Walk"

That hurt.

How dare you snatch the bag of a fragile lady?

I'm going to write about you in a corner of my biography.

That hurt.

Hey, young lady, hurry and contact the police, please.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you too, doggy.

Well, even if Lupin here were to let him get away,

with my Ultra Classic 1500 cc Twin Cam model

he could never have gotten away anyway.

If the situation calls for it, I have a speed-up function

rigged to this motorbike, too.

Uncle?

Aren't you Uncle Jirokichi?

You're Shiro's daughter!

The last time I saw you, was at the Seven-Five-Three Festival!

They know each other?

Looks to be so.

He's my father's cousin

and advisor for the Suzuki Financial Group,

Uncle Jirokichi Suzuki.

How do you do?

But uncle, when did you come here?

I heard that you went out on a trip 6 months ago.

I just got back last week.

I went the world over and finally found it

so I came back.

The best bait in the world.

Bait?

-Bait? -Bait?

There are so many medals and trophies here!

The European Golf Open, the US Cup yacht race

and worldwide fast hamburger eater contest!

And, all of them are the first prize.

Amazing. This old man's won the Savanna Rally, too.

Check this one out!

Around the world on a man-powered plane.

The pastime of a rich man.

Was this statue here from before?

Yes, it's the Golden Goddess that was decorated

on the bow of the Sea Goddess

during the Grand Navigation Era

when the pirates used to raid ships.

That thing that she is holding up in her right hand

is the legendary aquamarine,

which is said to have turned

into a gemstone from the tears of a mermaid.

It has the power to prevent disasters at sea

and is known as the miracle of the ocean,

Blue Wonder!

It is valued very highly as an artistic work

and I had a hell of a time bidding it off.

I finally got hold of it last week.

Then, don't tell me that this is the bait that you mentioned

-just a while ago? -Exactly, this is the bait.

To fish that guy!

Fish what guy?

It's been 72 years since I've come to this world

and there is not one time that I, Jirokichi,

has ever let prey go in my life.

Yes. I've gotten every award that I've gone after

and realized every dream that I've ever had.

But, there is just one thing in this world

that I just couldn't get a hold of.

That guy slips through the tightest security

and the most armored vaults.

He is a white sinner who magically breaks through everything in his way

and spreads his wings gracefully,

flying off into the night sky.

Hey, wait a minute.

Don't tell me that you're referring to...

Yes. His name is...

"Mouri Detective Agency" -The Thief Kid?

"Making a declaration to the Thief Kid.

The big jewel that you so desire,

the miracle of the ocean, Blue Wonder,

has been placed on the roof of the Great Museum in Shiodome.

If you want it, come and get it.

Advisor for the Suzuki Financial Group, Jirokichi Suzuki."

To declare something like this on the front pages of the papers.

Rich people sure are something.

But, it's a bit exciting.

You idiot. He won't show up.

A super-rich dude is sending out

a challenging demand like this full of confidence.

Who in the world would fly right into a trap

that is so well set up?

Exactly.

But, Sonoko was saying that just a while ago,

her Uncle Jirokichi got an okay mail

from the Thief Kid on his cell phone.

Okay?

What?

It seems that he's going to come

to check the place out this Saturday or something.

See, here's that mail.

She forwarded it to my cell phone, too.

Let me see.

"I shall respond to your challenge.

I will go to get what I want on April 12th at 20:00.

However, please forgive me

for going to check the place out on the night before.

Thief Kid."

"P.S."

He sure has a way of putting on airs like always.

What's the P.S. after the mail?

Post script?

Just as the name has it, I shall walk over and appear.

He's going to walk over?

Just what're you doing?

Never mind. Get on with the check, go ahead and check!

Make sure that all the roads leading to this museum are blocked

and officers are standing guard.

Don't let one suspicious thing get through! Understand?

Gosh! Those choppers sure are noisy.

What? You don't know how you should identify the Thief Kid?

Pull on his face! His face, get that?

Inspector.

Don't pull softly.

But, strongly!

Firm and tight. Understand?

Inspector Nakamori is really into this.

Hey, Ran!

Sonoko.

Ran!

What a flashy appearance.

Did Thief Kid appear already?

No, not yet.

This man with the slight mustache is Ran's father,

the Sleeping Kogoro.

Slight mustache?

I've heard a lot of rumors about you.

Is that so?

Hey! Are you the one?

Who started this riot to begin with?

What?

Do something about your helicopters up there!

They're in getting in the way of the police choppers!

There's no need for police choppers, is there?

The Thief Kid announced he was going to walk over here after all.

Then, why do you have so many helicopters up there like that?

Those helicopters are up there to film my autobiography.

Film an autobiography?

Amazing.

It's like an outside broadcast van of the TV station.

The helicopters aren't the only ones shooting the film.

All the images that are filmed by the cameras

that are set in 100 places all over the museum can be viewed here.

Hey. There's nobody inside the museum.

There were too many up to now.

Since there's nobody there, even if he were to disguise himself

and sneak in there,

it would be plain for all to see, right?

Since it's possible to open and lock

all the doors of the museum from here

even if he were to get to the roof where the Golden Goddess is,

the most that he'll end up doing is get locked up.

That is if he shows up just as he said he would.

I think he's here.

What?

Where?

Can't we get a larger view?

Over here. Right here.

-Hurry it up! -Yes, sir.

So, he's appeared.

Thief...

Thief Kid!

Hey! Which one is it?

Which helicopter is the image coming from?

Which helicopter is shooting the film?

Helicopter number 7, sir!

From behind the museum, I think.

Behind the museum?

Okay!

In the back?

Conan?

What shall we do?

Shall we move the Golden Goddess inside using that device, just in case.

Come on. Cool it.

He's just checking the place out tonight.

He won't steal it yet.

Besides, he announced he'd come on foot.

Hey, move it!

Outta the way!

Let's watch how the great thief,

the so-called illusionist under the moonlight

will make his appearance.

Hey! Where is the Thief Kid?

Well, after he went across between the buildings,

he hasn't come out.

Come on out. Thief Kid.

You can't walk unless you come down on the ground.

Come on out, Thief Kid.

What the...

No way! No way.

Darling Thief Kid, he's floating in the air.

Fantastic!

No way! How can this be?

How is he defying gravity...

and floating in the midair?

Don't be deceived! This is a trick!

Thief Kid is just riding a black blimp

or something with his body suspended in the air with a wire.

Any helicopters that are nearby, film his head and confirm!

Chopper no.7 here.

There's nothing above Thief Kid's head.

What?

Thief Kid sure is amazing.

-Don't you think so, Ran? -Yes.

Chopper no.7 here.

What shall we do?

Don't move from there for a while.

Roger!

That Thief Kid, just what kind of trick is he using anyway?

There's no way he can float like that.

Look for the rope.

Already making such a big fuss. The show's just begun.

If he's not up there...

The side? I get it.

The wire is hooked on to the buildings on both sides

and he's suspending himself with it.

Okay. I'll go to the building on the left,

so you go to the one on the right

and look for the wire on the roof!

Yes, sir!

Darn.

That Thief Kid, how dare he play around with us like this?

It's nothing more than magic, plain illusion.

Just you wait, Thief Kid.

All I have to do is see through your trick...

Nothing? There's no wire anywhere?

There's nothing here!

There's no wire anywhere.

Inspector Nakamori!

There's nothing on this side of the building either.

It can't be. Then, how is he up there?

How is he floating in the air?

Ladies and gentlemen!

So, on this day, before my actual feat will be carried out,

please watch to your heart's content

the miracle that my legs will perform.

He's walking...

He's walking?

Amazing, he's walking.

This is chopper no.3, Thief Kid is still walking in the air.

It can't be. What kind of trick is he using anyway?

Hang on. My darling Thief Kid is walking?

Amazing.

I see.

So that's what he meant by

he'll come on foot to get his target.

Detective Mouri, never mind that,

but please tell me how is he performing this feat

that goes against all laws of nature.

This is chopper no.3.

Thief Kid is now walking over the skies of Shiodome Park.

If he goes on as is,

he will reach the roof of the Suzuki Museum

where the Blue Wonder is in less than a minute.

Thief Kid will reach the Blue Wonder in a few seconds.

Uncle.

You mean we can't do a thing

but just watch him steal the stuff right before our eyes?

Darn. That Thief Kid.

How is he planning to flee,

when there are police officers on the ground and choppers in the air?

Advisor, don't you think it's time we start the device?

We've got no choice.

So, this will be all for the show the night before.

I will see you again tomorrow at 20:00 at the same place.

Darn.

Didn't I tell you that you're going to be sorry

if you underestimate Thief Kid?

I won't let him steal it.

Because I went all over the world to look for it

and finally got hold of the "Miracle of the Ocean", Blue Wonder.

Why is the golden statue inside and upside down?

This is how it's rigged.

I see.

It rotates so the real one is exchanged for the fake.

Thief Kid will see through a childish thing like this right away.

Of course I don't intend to deceive him with something like this.

If so, leave everything to the police tomorrow

and keep your helicopters from flying.

Stay put and stay still.

I'm doing just the opposite.

The opposite?

He vanished saying let's meet at the same place tomorrow night.

If he so wishes, I will do exactly that and ambush him.

What do you mean by ambushing him?

I'm going to rent practically all the buildings in this area

and be prepared for him with a helicopter squad

and security guard unit even greater than tonight.

I don't know what kind of trick he's using to walk floating in the air,

but if he dares come out again, I'm going to nab him

and add him on to the final episode of my autobiography.

Don't move. Don't move.

Stay still!

What's happened?

Never mind and just don't move!

If you move, you'll never walk before me again!

Where? Where is it?

Don't you dare move.

There it is!

What's with this dog?

Just as expected of Lupin.

He will never let a prey that he is after go.

Contacts?

I didn't know your eyes were bad, Uncle Jirokichi?

Well, at 72 years, all parts of my body

are refusing to work the way they should.

Your body seems to be working just fine.

I would at least like to nab him while I'm still alive and kicking.

What makes you want to pursue Thief Kid as much as you do?

Kid, Thief Kid.

The sound of that name itself,

the one who stole everything from me, that Thief Kid.

I'll never forgive him.

Listen, I, Jirokichi Suzuki will nab him!

I won't let anyone get in my way!

I won't let you have your way, Kid. Just you watch!

I promise, I swear.

You've already seen the many honorary gifts

and awards I have won so far.

They've always covered the headlines of the papers.

All except for one time.

Don't tell me that's why you're going after him?

Yes, exactly!

That Thief Kid not only stole the headline from me,

he also stole the 2nd page from me!

My article of having flown the world over on a manned plane

was pushed over to a corner on the 3rd page because of him!

Do you understand how humiliated I felt?

Can you understand how sad I felt?

A bit, I guess.

When I do get my hands on him,

I, Jirokichi Suzuki, will be on the front page once again!

Really look at the huge number of helicopters.

More than the helicopters, the number of onlookers here

is even more surprising.

They should've put up a "Keep out" sign.

Uncle had them come in deliberately

because he wanted the arrest scene of the Thief Kid

to be complemented by genuine extras.

Come to think of it, the advertisement for introducing

that large museum as well as the special program

was really flashy and filmed from the air.

But, wouldn't it be difficult

to find Thief Kid among this large crowd?

Don't worry, he has special seats reserved for us.

Ms. Sonoko Suzuki, we've been waiting for you.

Thank you.

Please follow me, everyone to the seat over that way.

Hey, is this for real?

This is the roof.

Would you like anything to drink?

We'll leave it up to you.

For the first time, she kind of looks like a rich little lady.

This certainly is the roof of the building

near the building where Thief Kid appeared,

because the only ones here beside us are the security guards.

I still don't understand.

I looked through the image the helicopter sent afterwards,

but there was nothing strange in it.

Moreover, he vanished in midair.

Just how on earth did he do it?

I'll go get it.

I'm sorry!

A scratch? It seems like something got stuck here.

And it's still new.

Do you see what I see?

A multitude of helicopters practically covered the entire sky.

And look at the many security guards that are positioned

all through the vicinity.

This is indeed a handpicked unit of security guards

that the Suzuki Financial Group has gotten together

to maintain their prestige.

Will he really appears under such tight security?

The one who forewarned that he would steal Blue Wonder

that is decorated on the roof of the great Suzuki Museum.

The Thief Kid!

He'll come. Of course, he'll come.

It sure doesn't sound like a remark that would come out

of the mouth of a little lady of the Suzuki Financial Group

whose treasure is the target of theft.

But, he's the Thief Kid, you know.

If just this once, I'd sure like to see him in person.

I actually wanted to hold the Golden Goddess statue

with a lot of gemstones on it that is on the roof,

but Uncle Jirokichi wouldn't let me.

Of course he wouldn't let you.

Don't tell me you wished

that he would take you away with him, gemstones and all?

Right, exactly, and Makoto would come to rescue me,

who is being held captive.

I, Sonoko wouldn't know what to do with two men fighting over me.

I guess

all this abnormal security around here can't be helped.

After all he declares that he is coming to check the place out last night

and appears by the building right beside this one floating in midair.

He walks in midair and closes in on the museum.

Then, he suddenly vanishes.

I guess it's understandable,

since he is the great thief that they are all trying to arrest.

Really, he was walking in midair

as though there were no tricks involved.

I'm sure that there are tricks and magic involved.

Because if people can so easily walk in midair,

it would surprise the birdies, right?

-Birdies, he says. -Oh, my.

What a cute thing to say, Conan.

Maybe the remark was a bit too childish.

Brat, let Thief Kid's magic surprise you and the birdies.

I don't know what trick he used yet,

but we may found the marks that he left behind

when he set up the trick.

See! The scratch on the wall over there

looks as if something was hooked on!

The scratch is still new

so it could be something that Thief Kid left behind.

Well?

There's one over that side, too?

Are you sure that there's a mark

that looks similar on the building on your side, too?

Yes, a brand new scratch.

But, I wonder what the mark is?

Maybe he hooked a wire up from this building to the other?

Thief Kid probably did so to put people under the illusion

that he was floating in midair.

No way.

Inspector Nakamori who climbed the other building last night said

that there were no wires or anything like that.

Besides, if he's suspended from something like that,

he wouldn't be able to walk.

Right.

Hey, maybe he set up a device to project a 3-D image?

And, that's what left the traces?

See, if he projected from two sides, this side and that side.

Impossible. He couldn't have done something like that

with the technique of this day and age.

It's impossible to project such a clear moving 3-D image

in a space where there's nothing.

Then, do you know how he carried out the trick, dad?

Sort of.

What kind of trick did he use?

When people think that something is not there,

they have a way of not being able to see it

because of the influence of preconceived ideas, even if it's there.

-Preconceived ideas? -Preconceived ideas?

And?

Just what is that something supposed to be?

Well, for example...

A super huge hard glass.

He placed it over one building to the other and walked on it.

Inspector Nakamori probably didn't notice it

because he didn't think that the glass was there.

It could be that the scratch was made when the equipment

that held the glass in place was removed.

If such a glass were there, somebody is bound to have seen it.

That's why I said...

In the first place, how would he have brought something

as large as that along, and then put it away as well?

That's why I said it could be that.

Not being able to see it because of preconceived ideas?

Kid...

Inspector Nakamori, so many people are flowing in

that it's impossible to keep checking them!

It seems that the Suzuki Financial Group

passed out a leaflet saying, "Welcome fans of Thief Kid".

Passed out leaflets?

If things are left as is, a riot may break out.

It can't be helped, let them through without checking them!

Roger!

He's probably going to come from the sky anyway.

Darn! The security structure of the police is a mess,

thanks to that attention-craving old man.

You're the owner of the Miracle of the Ocean, Blue Wonder,

the advisor for the Suzuki Financial Group, Jirokichi Suzuki, aren't you?

Indeed.

It's an hour more to go before the time declared by Thief Kid,

but are you more than prepared to take him on?

It seems that he put on a cheap magic show last night,

but tonight I shall be the one to put on a show.

I'll show you all a dramatical arrest

that will make Hollywood movies look like child's play!

Gee, my uncle is really out for the kill!

Let's take a short commercial break then.

The new talk of the town that has opened in Shiodome,

bringing along with it the fragrance of history and culture

is the Great Suzuki Museum.

Hey, even the commercial is about the museum?

It's a tie-up, you know? A tie-up.

Uncle never misses chances like these.

Even this aerial film

is a cut and paste of what he used in the special program.

Though he may not look it, he's quite thrifty.

Please come quickly, my dear Thief Kid.

And please steal my passionate heart away.

What's the use seeing him in a noisy place like this?

Besides, the wind's so strong, too.

Wind?

What's the matter?

I'm going over to where Uncle Jirokichi is for a while.

I just realized something interesting!

Just what is that interesting thing?

It's a secret!

What? Show you the film of yesterday's Thief Kid again?

Yes, Uncle Mouri insisted that I look at it no matter what.

Sonny, you watched it more than enough last night, didn't you?

Besides, it's already been sent to the staff

that are making his autobiographic movie.

What?

Well, but the film will eventually

be submitted to the police afterwards.

After all, Thief Kid has never come to check any place out

like he did last night, ever before in the past.

Come to think of it, he's right.

I wonder why Thief Kid put on such a demonstration?

It's less than a minute to go before the time declared by Thief Kid.

The Thief Kid fans who have gathered here are starting to countdown.

Let's all watch this miraculous moment, too.

He won't come.

No magician would ever let any viewer up on stage

before the show starts and let them surround him.

Because he would be revealing the secret of his trick that way.

Although he declared that he would appear again tonight

between those two buildings,

where the eyes of all the spectators are on him

and the wind of the helicopters

are going to blow his hand glider out of control.

He will not appear!

Well, if he's a long-nosed goblin or a mountain hermit,

it may be a different story.

-Thief Kid! -Thief Kid!

It's Thief Kid.

He's appeared just now, as he has declared he would!

Thief Kid!

He's come.

He's really floating in midair?

It... it can't be.

How and where on earth did he appear from?

Oh, no. It's started to rain.

Cover the equipment!

Rain?

Oh, no. It's raining.

What a time to rain.

Despite the sudden rain,

the call for Thief Kid goes on!

Hey, what's the matter? Chopper no.7, hey?

What is it?

The image from chopper no.7 was suddenly cut off.

This is chopper no.7. Everything's under control here.

The image probably temporarily went static due to the rain.

No. Maybe Thief Kid

is making one of his henchmen send out jamming waves,

and is up to something again.

Does Thief Kid have henchmen?

Yes.

It is reported to be an aged man or a young lady

or a lot of other characters.

But it's certain that he has at least one person helping him.

Hey, can you hear me, all men in the vicinity?

This is Inspector Nakamori!

Check on the double if there is anyone among the crowd

that is holding a jamming device!

That person may be Thief Kid's henchman!

He's walking!

Just like last night, Thief Kid has begun walking!

Advisor, please tell us what to do.

If things are left as is, he will surely steal the object this time!

I'm not going to let him steal anything right before my eyes.

Put the Blue Wonder inside for now!

Yes, sir.

It's his intelligence against mine.

Scratch, preconceived ideas,

wind.

Henchman.

I see. That's the story.

I've figured it out, Thief Kid.

The trick that you used to appear in midair, walk and vanish.

I've also figured out how you plan to steal Blue Wonder now, too.

Advisor,

we've completed putting Blue Wonder back inside the museum!

Okay, we're taking the initiative from here.

Turn off all the lights inside the museum right away!

All the lights?

Yes.

He could be monitoring the image within the museum, right?

Hey, doing something like that

is just what Thief Kid would love you to do.

Then, Inspector Nakamori, do you have a better idea?

Do you know how to stop the great thief

who has appeared out of nowhere as would a mountain hermit,

and close in on us walking in midair?

But just what do you plan to do turning off the lights of the museum

and taking the treasure inside?

In other words, the point is preventing him from stealing it.

If the Miracle of the Ocean, Blue Wonder

stays out of his reach, I win.

I'd like to make a proposal.

In exchange for giving you complete command of this situation,

I would like you to lend me a few of your men who can be trusted.

My men?

I'm accepting his challenge.

It's a secret strategy that I stayed up all night thinking up.

My dear Thief Kid!

My dear Thief Kid, my dear Thief Kid!

The helicopters have finally gone to the other side

giving me a good view of him, and with the wind out of my way,

I get an even better view.

But too bad he's so far away.

What the...

Thief Kid's less than 100 meters from his object of target Blue Wonder.

Hey, how're things on your side?

Perfect.

I'm sure that your strategy will outfox Thief Kid.

He may be wiretapping us,

so that's enough.

There's nothing to worry about,

the tricks are more than well set!

All we do is watch how everything turns out.

Hey, wait a minute!

Inspector!

There's something strange about Thief Kid this time.

What is it?

You see something that looks like a string?

Really?

Yes, a thing that looks like a thin string

is shining at his shoulders.

Hey, if that's true, then Thief Kid's not walking

but rather is being suspended from the helicopter?

Isn't there something strange about Thief Kid?

His legs are moving but it looks like he's being suspended to something.

Hey, chopper no.7 that is right above Thief Kid's head, respond!

Chopper no.7. Hey, chopper no.7?

He vanished. Thief Kid vanished right near the museum just now!

It's chopper no.7 after all!

His henchman that was on board chopper no.7

picked him up from within the curtain of smoke!

Hey, I hope all your choppers are numbered?

Yes, sir. Near the tail.

All the choppers patrolling the sky, do you hear me?

This is Inspector Nakamori from the Metropolitan Police Department!

Thief Kid is on board chopper no.7 with his accomplice!

Report the position of chopper no.7 immediately!

Surround it until the police choppers arrive

and don't let them get away!

This is chopper no.14. Chopper no.7 verified

to be waiting at the main entrance of the museum!

Okay! Keep an eye on it and continue the pursuit.

Roger.

This is chopper no.35,

chopper no.7 is currently right above Shiodome Park.

Hey, hold it! Shiodome Park is behind the museum, isn't it?

Chopper no.28 here,

chopper no.7 has gone a long distance off from Shiodome.

This is chopper no.9. I verify two chopper no.7s

in the foreground of Shiodome Park!

Hey, what the hell is going on?

Well, the number "7" is written on almost

all the tails of the helicopters around!

Thief Kid probably did this beforehand.

Idiot! That can't be.

If such a thing were to be done,

somebody would've noticed when boarding the craft!

Inspector!

What is it?

There are strange silhouetted figures

in front of the entrance of the museum,

not just one or two figures.

They're the subordinates

that I let into the building a while ago.

Don't tell me that Blue Wonder is in the case

that the officer in the middle is holding?

Just what do they think they're doing?

It's like they're letting him know that he is carrying it.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Get in right this minute!

Don't worry, sir.

This case is empty anyway, and we're just decoys.

Decoys?

Blue Wonder was taken out

from the back door of the museum in a trash bag

by Jirokichi Suzuki disguised as a sanitation man.

What's so funny?

Thief Kid.

What a crazy thing to say?

I laughed because I was able to protect that treasure from Thief Kid.

You idiot. I saw right through you

the minute you came to the museum today on this motorbike.

Just like now, you didn't have your goggles on earlier.

It would be pretty difficult

for one wearing contact lens to ride a motorbike without goggles.

The wind would hurt your eyes and you'd be in tears.

That is, even if you had a windshield,

it would be difficult to ride a motorbike.

Well, despite being super-rich,

the old man goes riding around on this flashy motorbike

without any bodyguards.

You'd have had more than enough opportunity to put him to sleep somewhere

and switch places with him.

By the way, you took the dog Lupin that was riding in this sidecar

to a shade in Shiodome Park.

I'm pretty sure it's still asleep though,

because of the sleeping drug you made it sniff.

How could I be Thief Kid?

I was right beside you

when Thief Kid appeared just a while ago, too.

The same goes for last night when he miraculously walked in midair.

That was no miracle.

It's a simple trick that can easily be carried out with an assistant.

Although the men are efficient members of the Suzuki Financial Group,

they're not from the police or the military.

It shouldn't be too hard to mix one of your men

among the bunch of professionals that were hired on a temporary basis.

You suddenly appeared last night in midair between the buildings

and brushed away our doubts about you having been suspended by something

by making a helicopter pass over your head.

After that, when the police and I ran up to the roof of the building,

all you had to do was make us confirm

that there were no wires connected between the buildings.

Since it would really make it look

as if you were floating in the air.

But if the pilot of the helicopter that flew over your head

were your assistant,

it's super easy to explain.

First of all, you fly on board the helicopter,

over to the two buildings you'll be using to carry out your trick,

and hook the tip of one side of the wire

onto the roof of one of the buildings.

Then, with the helicopter, you land on the roof of the other building,

hooking the wire onto the roof of that building.

You connect the wires from one building to the other,

then use the pulley that is attached to your body,

and move to the center.

Then you take off the black outfit you were wearing

together with the curtain of smoke, and dispose of it.

Then Thief Kid appears!

Your henchman comes immediately with the helicopter

and flies over your head.

The fish line-like thin wire that you connected yourself

to the helicopter with before getting off,

is pulled until it is taut and wound up!

After that you removed the pulley from your body

and made the helicopter swiftly collect the wire

that you hooked onto both buildings.

As a result, it would look as if you're floating in midair,

whether viewed from the top of the side.

Then, all that's left for you to do is to pretend

to walk together with the helicopter as it moves forward.

You used a tape recorder to create the sound of footsteps,

matching the sound from it with your stride.

In order to deceive people from thinking that you're being suspended,

you used exquisite body performance.

After walking a while, together with the curtain of smoke,

you abandoned your white clothes

and moved the position of the searchlight.

The helicopter pulls you up on board,

so it looks as if you vanished in midair.

Well, tonight's Thief Kid was merely a walking doll

that caught the attention of the police.

You were probably just pulling the doll in and out of the helicopter

together with the curtain of smoke.

All it was doing was hanging in the air,

so it was more than obvious that it was just a doll.

But, sonny you already climbed the building

that Thief Kid was on, didn't you?

If something was suspended from the helicopter,

no matter how thin the string, it would've been seen.

No, because of preconceived ideas and the wind.

Talk about wretched.

The moment the helicopter flew above your head,

I was convinced that you weren't being suspended.

I was flustered when I didn't find the wire on the roof,

and didn't notice that string.

But, the marks were surely left behind

on the roofs of the two buildings.

The marks left behind by the hooks that you hooked on beforehand,

when the wires were collected by the helicopter.

But sonny,

you saw the video of Thief Kid last night again and again, didn't you?

Although it also depends on the resolution,

if the string is as thin as a fishing line,

you would have to be very near and view it with the naked eye.

It'd be virtually impossible to view it on the monitor.

The only way the string would show is the down shot image

of Thief Kid when the string comes to the foreground,

and the only one who could've filmed this

is helicopter no.7 piloted by your henchman.

If you sent the image that was previously

used for airing a special program on the museum,

and you added the image of Thief Kid onto it

and made it look as if helicopter no.7 sent it,

the string wouldn't be there.

That's why when it began to rain,

your henchman stopped sending the image, right?

Because on the aerial image back then,

there was no one using umbrellas!

The flashy demonstration you put on last night

was to make everyone think that you were coming from the sky,

and loosen the tight security on the ground.

You probably did so since you planned to disguise yourself

as Jirokichi Suzuki and come through with no check.

But, you goofed,

when you came with no goggles on

and that image was clearly on the TV screen.

No, it's not that I came with no goggles,

rather, I couldn't put them on.

Because my disguise would come off!

Aren't you worried about your comrade that's on board helicopter no.7?

I'm sure the police have surrounded his craft by now.

No need to worry, because the police are probably panicked.

They're probably flustered by all the no.7 stickers

on the helicopters.

All the stickers?

I see.

You stuck the stickers of the real numbers

of the helicopters over the no.7 stickers.

But the stickers of the real numbers were pasted on very lightly

so that the wind would easily blow them off.

Yes.

Therefore, the pilots of the helicopters go on board

totally unaware that they would be mistaken for being my henchman

and chased around.

In the meantime, my comrade splits amidst the commotion.

Indeed the great escape of the miracle of the vast sky, Blue Wonder!

The vast sky?

The blue of Blue Wonder is the blue of the ocean, you know.

It's the same thing.

The blue of the ocean is the reflection of the blue of the sky, right?

It's the same as the detective and the thief.

We seem as different as are heaven and earth.

However, if we trace back to the root of the matter,

we both force open the door to what people want to keep secret,

using the key of curiosity.

We're both nothing more than two rude men.

You idiot. The sky and the ocean are blue

due to totally different qualities of the dispersion

and reflection of light.

They're not to be thought of as the same!

As proof of that, the water in puddles is not blue, is it?

What a drab, wet blanket. You've got no dream.

I can't see through the truth chasing after dreams, you see.

Are you really thinking of nabbing me with that tranquilizer gun?

If I fall asleep at this speed, we're going to have an enormous crash.

Don't worry, I won't shoot until this motorbike stops.

And, as for your custody, I already contacted Inspector Nakamori,

who should be on his way here.

I'm not stopping.

Beside, remember what Gramps Jirokichi was bragging about?

This motorbike is rigged with an acceleration function.

See you, great detective.

I'll leave that treasure to you.

I wasn't after that treasure, to begin with.

Besides, all I did was take him on because he challenged me.

That punk.

You've got no dream.

Idiot. Of course, I do.

I've got dreams I want to realize too, you know.

"Mouri Detective Agency" -Uncle Jirokichi is angry at Conan now?

Right.

Why? Conan's the one who protected the treasure, right?

So, this is why.

That brat. How dare he take away the headlines from me.
