Synopsis
The movie opens with the scene at the Domoto Music Academy, where three people, including a woman named Kabe Soko, Takehiko Renjo, and Yosuke Mizumi, are playing music. Suddenly, an explosion happens the moment Soko sends out a short message on her phone. Elsewhere, an unknown person watches the news of the explosion at the academy and claims that all the fault should be blamed on Soko. Conan visits the location to investigate the incident, while posing as Shinichi during a call to Ran. As they talk, Conan picks up a piano key cap without realizing it.
The next day, Conan, along with the Detektif Boys, Kogoro, Ran, Sonoko, and Professor Agasa, visit the Domoto Concert Hall, a building that is mostly funded by Sonoko’s family. Kazuki Domoto, the organizer and former pianist, Takumi Fuwa, a former piano tuner now in charge of the Domoto Concert Hall, Hans Müller, a professional organ tuner, Genya Domoto, Kazuki’s son, and pianist, Rara Chigusa, a soprano singer, Shion Yuhane, a violinist, and Reiko Akiba, a renowned soprano player, are among the individuals at the Hall.
Meanwhile, three inspectors, Miwako, Takagi, and Shiratori, are called in to investigate the situation. They believe that the incident is related to the bodies of a flute found at the scene of the incident.
As the movie continues, there are two more murders of musicians, Osamu Shida, and Hisao Sone, both members of the Quarter Quintet. They are found dead from the explosion and the cut paraglider. Upon discovering that all musicians were part of the Quarter Quintet, Conan becomes concerned about Reiko’s safety. He fears that Reiko is the next target and is proven correct when she is attacked after training the choir at SD Teitan.
Conan decides to protect Reiko and accompanies her to the forest. Moments after they arrive, a shooter attacks Reiko, but they manage to escape. Kogoro incorrectly blames Genta Domoto for the murders, but soon enough, the actual culprit is revealed. The movie ends with Conan and Reiko being attacked and being thrown into a boat, leaving the audience with an air of anticipation for what happens next.
