Under a moonless sky, an undercover agent infiltrates the Japanese police headquarters. Intelligence outfits from Britain"s MI6, Germany"s BND and the United States" CIA—along with FBI confidential dossiers—are slated for seizure, yet Tooru Amuro and his public safety squad arrive moments before the breach. The infiltrator absconds in a stolen vehicle, sparking a high‑speed duel with Amuro on the freeway. Just as their collision threatens dozens of commuters, FBI operative Shuichi Akai"s sniper round strikes the intruder"s car, sending it careening off the road.
The following day, Conan and his companions head to Tokyo"s newly renovated aquarium. Amidst the central Ferris wheel display, Conan spots a lone woman wounded and oddly alluring; her irises differ in hue.
She suffers from amnesia, unable to recall even her own name, and the mobile phone in her hand is shattered. Conan vows with his friends to restore her memories, keeping vigil beside her.
All the while, Vermouth observes from a hidden perch. Later she draws out a suppressor and whispers into an intercom, "Everything is proceeding as expected, Gin."
