Plot

The movie opens on a stage of a concert hall where a woman is observing two men during a practice. She sends a message on her cellphone, and then there is an explosion. At the crime scene, the body of a flute was found.

Elsewhere, an unknown person with the classic black silhouette of a man reads the news on the computer and comments on how he is getting closer to his plan of a Silent Night.

Later, on the grounds outside the hall, Conan is talking to Ran on the phone as Shinichi. He investigates and find sees an old man carefully picking up a piano key from the piano destroyed from the explosion, and putting it in his pocket. The man leaves in a car with license plate 52-83. Ran invites him to go to a rehearsal with her at the concert hall that is opening soon. He declines and tells her she's meddling too much which causes her to angrily reply he will never be like Sherlock Holmes because he's tone deaf. Ran angrily hangs up and calls Conan asking him what he wants for dinner.

At the rehearsal; Richard, Ran, Sonoko, and the detective boys are introduced to the characters who will be performing for the Doumoto Concert Hall opening; Doumoto Kazuki the organist and former pianist, Fuwa Takumi the former piano tuner turned director of the hall, Hans Müller the professional organ tuner, Doumoto Genya, son of Kazuki and pianist, Chisusa Rara Soprano, Yuhane Shion Violinist, and Akiba Reiko the main Soprano. The kids ask Akiba Reiko to help their class choir to sing their school anthem. She agrees when she learns they are from her alma mater, but asks them to leave immediately, possibly to allow Shion who is shy perform without fear.

Later on Ran is revealed to still be angry at Shinichi. Sonoko comments that this happened before and that she was angry at him for a week. She asks him how she forgave him. Ran remembers how long ago she walks with Shinichi home and remembers a woman singing.

The next day Ran plays the piano while the kids sing the Titan High School anthem. Akiba comments on their performance; Genta is too loud, Mitch is not putting enough feelings into it as he was staring at Ai, Ai is singing like an adult, Ayumi is perfect, and Conan is off key the whole time. She is revealed later to have a perfect pitch. Genta steals a drink of Akiba's tea and acts in agonizing pain.

At the hospital, the doctor says that Genta's throat is severe inflamed by chemicals and he will not be able to speak for about four days. The detective kids, Sonoko, and Akiba accompany Genta home. On the way home they are chased by a truck, at one of the turns Akiba takes a different route to get the truck away from them. She trips and is about to be run over until a taxi comes and the car turns. The culprit escapes.

Later, two more murders occur. One explosion kills Kabe Souko, with the foot joint of a flute left on the scene. The other occurs when the paraglider of the victim is inflicted with fine cuts to cause it to plunge from mid-air. In the victim's car is the headjoint of the flute. These 2 victims, together with the 2 dead victims from the earlier explosion, formerly belonged to a group called the quarter quintet. Conan, indebted to Akiba for a reason he has forgotten, follows her to the forest as she is known to relax there on the day before the concert. She is attacked by a gunner who wounds her leg. They escape when the gunner pauses on shooting the killing shot. She does not report this to the police to avoid missing the concert.

Moore deduces that the murder is Doumoto Genya as a year ago the quarter quintet badly performed the 9th symphony of Beethoven whilst drunk. He assumes Doumoto was a Beethoven fanatic and seeing one of his songs defiled by drunks, murdered them. An evidence he points out was Genya's hair was cut the same way as Beethoven. Genya reveals he got his hair for his mother and his hair is natural.

At Doumoto Hall, the concert is being prepared. Sonoko says that a balcony is reserved with 10 seats, with one for Shinichi. After rehearsal Conan and Akiba look for Kazuki to tell him a key for the organ is a little flat. Near a lake, she and Conan are knocked out by the assailant with a wrench. They wake up downstream where it would take hours before they are found. They hear an explosion at the Doumoto Hall. Since the Concert Hall is built to be soundproof and stable, the explosions outside could not be heard inside. The explosions are slowly destroying the pillars outside the hall to prevent entry or exit. Conan sees a phone on top of a building. He explains that phones work by hearing pitches of sounds as numbers. He knocks the phone down with the ball and Akiba and Conan exert the right pitch to dial 110, calling the cops.

They take a helicopter and enter the building. There Conan sees the assailant hiding in one of the VIP suites. He explains that the irregular note on the organ sets off an explosion and that there are 24 in total; 23 pillars, 1 in the main hall. He says the concert can't be interrupted because the assailant is holding a detonator also. Akiba buys time for Conan by interrupting the concert to by singing Amazing Grace which involves only the first set of keys on the organs whilst the detonator key is on the third row.

Conan enters the balcony of the assailant revealing it to be Fuma Takumi. Fuma reveals that the reason he killed the first four people was because his son, Akiba's fiancé, died indirectly because of them; and his pride as a professional piano tuner was thrown away when Doumoto Kazuki quit playing the piano. Without his son, wife, and pride of being a tuner for a professional pianist, his life was nothing and he wanted to bring silence to the organ which haunted him.

Just then the 24th irregular note was played but the final explosion did not occur. It turns out Conan removed the sensor from the organ before he came to Fuma. Fuma congratulates him and prepares to press the detonator but it was shot out of his hand. Fuma takes out a gun and prepares to kill himself until Kazuki comes and reveals to him the reason he quit as a pianist was to keep Fuma's pride. Because of Fuma's old age, his hearing is starting to deteriorate and so was his tuning, to keep his pride he quit being a pianist so he did not have to hurt his friend. Fuma comes to realize this and surrenders peacefully.

While outside the concert, Ran hears Amazing Grace played on a violin. She enters the wood where Conan tells her Shinichi played it to her to be forgiven like that day long ago.

At the post credits, Akiba reveals the song Amazing Grace is a song of forgiveness, a favourite of her late fiancee. She sings it on the anniversary of his death near the river which is why she did not pursue revenge like Fuma did for his son. Conan asks how Ran knew it was Shinichi playing the violin. She replies he has a weird habit when he plays the violin. Conan later in his house's library plays Amazing Grace to try and find his "strange habit"

Plot

The movie opens with a car chase by Takagi and Sato who are after thieves wearing two famous celebrites laughing masks; that robbed a super-market. After the thieves are intercepted by the police, their car flips over and the thieves are injured. One of the thieves fainted due to the accident and the other one is questioned on his motive. He mentions Koumijima, and Jolly Roger and faints.

The scene changes to show Mouri Kogoro talking to the hotel receptionist on Koumijima. Behind him are the Detective kids, Professor Agasa, Ran and Sonoko. Richard brags to the receptionist how he won 300,000 yen by finishing a long unsolved crossword puzzle for the news paper, which Conan secretly mentions how he was the one to solve it. The receptionist tells them their reservation was not found. At that moment the head of the Department of Tourism, Iwanaga Jouji, appears and confirms their reservation but saying it is not at the hotel.

Afterwards, three muscled men walk past them and Conan proclaims they're treasure hunters. The detective kids excluding Conan and Ai are excited there is a hidden treasure on the island. They are driven to their lodging which is an inn owned by Mima Kasuo. Iwanaga helps them plan their activities. The detective kids are going on a treasure hunt, Ran and Sonoko are going diving, and Richard Moore is going drinking.

Ran and Sonoko go to the diving shop owned by Mabuchi Chika to rent some equipments. With the equipments, Yamakuchi Kimiko a diving instructor, will come with them on their dive. Meanwhile, the detective kids are taught about the legend of the pirate duo, Anne Bonney and Mary Read and the treasure they buried on this island. Iwanaga then gives the detective kids treasure maps with five spots for stamps. The stamps are two numbers, either red or blue. They must find the locations via clues in treasure boxes beside the table for stamps. They get their first stamp in the museum. Their first clue is "Even if the setting sun is almost at it's end, a pirate still shines" Iwanaga lets them rent bicycles and they start the search.

Back to Ran, Sonoko, and Kimiko, they are diving when they see a shark. They hide in the corner and find sharks surrounding the three treasure hunters, one soaked in blood and bleeding badly. The two men defend the wounded person, one by using his oxygen mask to blow oxygen at the sharks, and one by using his swimming motor to push them away. The three ladies bring the boat and the men climb onto the boat with their injured friend.

Back with the detective kids, they found the second stamp in a cave with bio-luminescent planktons. The second clue is "The thin pirate would laugh." Ai tells Conan she saw the boat Ran used for diving and that someone was bleeding. Conan, worried follows the boat to the infirmary.

At the infirmary Conan finds Ran is safe. The two men are praying for their partners recovery, but he is pronounced dead. Conan, finding it suspicious that professional treasure hunts were attacked by sharks examines the dead partner's clothing. In his diving suit was a plastic bag with fish blood. He explains the deeper you go in water, the higher the pressure increases and that the bag exploded attracting the sharks. Just then Mouri Kogoro comes through the window drunk. Ai sets up the evidence so it can be noticed by Kogoro. Kogoro proclaims to the people in the infirmary a murder has taken place.

Conan goes to the diving shop to investigate since the diving suits are stored there. He learns that the shop does not fear thieves so it is never locked, making anyone the culprit. Back at the lodging, Conan discusses this with Professor Agasa. The detective kids call Conan asking him for help and telling him they are at the hanging bridge. Ai decides to stay behind.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko cross the bridge while Genta follows slowly behind. A sign tells them that anyone that wears more than 40 Kg can not cross the bridge. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko figure out the clue, "The thin pirate would laugh, while the fat one would cry". Ayumi and Mitsuhiko find the third stamp, and find the second clue, "Pirates don't cry" Conan comes and proclaims that sign is just a hint and is not the actual bridge limit and crosses. They all return back to the lodgings for dinner.

Back at the hotel, Juzo, Takagi, and Sato arrive by helicopter to interrogate the two treasure hunters. The treasure hunters names are revealed to be Izu Yamamtaro and Matsumoto Mitsushi. After refusal to co-operate, Takagi tricks one of the members into giving his fingerprints by giving them a match for their cigarettes.

After dinner, Mima tells the detective kids what the crying pirates are. They go to the beach where when wet sand is stepped on, it makes the sound of a sob. They walk to the part where the sand does not sob and find an old broken boat. Inside the boat, is the fourth stamp and the third clue "Pirate's souls will go to heaven." Conan notices that the treasure hunters are paying Mabuchi for something and finds it suspicious. He investigates and follows the treasure hunters.

A little time before Conan's discovery, at the place where the officers came by plane are, the alarm goes off to show that a disturbance in the museum was detected. They find out that Anne's gun and Mary's Cutlass was stolen. Back with Conan, the treasure hunter are entering the car when they are shot far away by an unknown stranger. Conan examines where the shot was placed and finds tire tracks. He takes a picture of it.

The next day, Conan compares the tire tracks to the bikes. He discovers GPS trackers a small number of bikes. After eating breakfast, the detective kids continue the treasure hunt, while Conan continues his investigation. While wandering, he overhears the investigation team, and hears that a storm is coming. He learns that the rifle that fired the bullets must be quite old and that Mima was the only one to own a Rifle that old.

Back to the detective kids, they find the final stamp and the last clue, "The numbers are the hints". The detective kids figure they should ask Mima. Conan asks Mima on where the treasure is since Mima is a treasure hunter. Ran and Sonoko visit Kimiko and they talk. The officer comes and ask for Mabuchi to come to the investigation room. Ran, Sonoko, and Kimiko leave the store only to be taken hostage by the treasure hunters.

Mima takes the kids and show them the original map made by Anne 300 years ago. It is exactly like the map Iwanaga gave the kids. They figure out the red and blue color on the numbers are for the first or surname. The numbers are actually letters from the English Alphabet. It spells out Jolly Roger, the flag of a pirate. The skull on the pirate flag on the 300 year old map reveals the letters DOS DIOSAS, which in Spanish means Two Goddesses. It means the entrance to where the treasure is between two goddesses.

Back to the treasure hunters, Kimiko is knocked out. The treasure hunters take Ran and Sonoko on a boat toward Yorioyajima (Skull Island). Kimiko arrives to the inn and tell them they are being taken to Yorioyajima. Conan tells the detective kids to inform the officers and tells Mima to take him to the island. The professor gives two mini oxygen tanks that supply 10 minutes of oxygen to Conan.

Back to the treasure hunter, they are preparing to dive. They cut Sonoko to use her as bait and tell them to dive or else. They dive and enter the cave. Conan uses the original entrance and enters the cave above ground. The treasure hunter find the treasure room, to only find an boat with nothing precious on it. They are knocked out by Conan and his soccer ball. Conan tells Iwanagawa to come out of hiding and knew that Conan was being followed. Conan revealed that Iwanagawa set up the puzzle and got them to come to Koumijima, copied the treasure map, and shot the treasure hunters so he could get the treasure himself. After realizing there is no treasure, Iwanagawa gives up.

Suddenly, an earthquake strikes and water starts to fill up the cave. The cave also releases Methane Hydrate. Conan tells everyone go into the cabin while he kicks a chain into the ceiling to start an spark that will cause an explosion to blow open the ceiling. Conan gives Ran and Sonoko his oxygen masks and tells them to set the oxygen tanks on the criminals too. Ran asks him if he will be okay and Conan lies that he has a mask. Conan starts the explosion and jumps into the cabin just in time. The boat floods with water and Conan is saved by Ran sharing her mask.

The boat bursts out onto the ocean and finds the investigation crew's ship instantly. The boat they are on start to break and they jump into the ocean and climb onto the investigation boat. Mima says that the treasure was the boat and reveals more about Anne and Mary. Mary was caught and placed in prison so Anne set up the boat for one day when Mary would escape and they would sail the seas. He says that Mary died due to an illness in prison and that Anne waited till she died of old age.

At the post credit, Conan asks how Ran knew he did not have a mask. She tells him that like Shinichi, they give the same face when they are lying and has a flashback to when Shinichi gives her an umbrella while he walks home in the rain.

Ran and the kids leave after being given free theme park wristbands, Conan and Richard Moore are asked to stay in the room, where the client who hired Richard Moore appears on the television in their room and tells them they must solve a mystery to remove the wrist watches which are set to detonate at 10:00 pm. The watches are also equipped with the GPS system to prevent them from going to the police. He reveals that the others have special features, once they enter the theme park, they can not leave and if they do, their watches will explode. The mystery man reveals that two legendary detectives have given up, one is still working, and another has failed. The screen changes to reveal Detective Ryu, a friend of Richard's. Detective Ryu is told his report is wrong, his wristband counts down from ten, a flash of light, and then the camera is destroyed.

They are given just one clue and a phone that can only receive calls, leading Conan and Richard Moore into an empty hotel that hid ski masks and a government licensed gun in a bag. They discovered that it was used for a robbery of a truck delivering money to a bank on April 4. They also discover on the same date of the robbery, Kaitou Kid stole some jewels from a nearby company. Richard Moore retrieves the bag, but ends up getting arrested on suspect of being Kid's accomplice. The mysterious man calls the phone to which Conan picks up and the client identifies Conan as Shinichi instead and gives him a second clue Conan uses his voice changer and speaks with Shinichi's voice into the phone. Conan then leaves the police station to continue the investigation.

Conan meets Hattori Heiji reveals he is part of the search, because he was also invited to the hotel. Kazuha is also held captive. Hattori and Conan work together and end up in a university's club office where they join together with Hakuba Saguru, who is a famous detective from the North. They find out that one of the president of the club and is charged with murder and that they removed his portrait from the portraits of club leaders. Afterwards they went to the (murdered guy)'s house to find out some answers. Hattori then confirms with the client through the phone that the mystery he wants them to solve was the murder case, and the truth behind what really happened.

They are attacked by some motorcyclists who are working for the culprit who also tried to kill Kaitou Kid. Conan blacks out after getting injured from the chase and breaks his leg. When Conan regains consciousness, Hattori explains to Conan that Hakuba Sagura called Professor Agasa to drive him.

They then discover the entrance to the (client) who is blind and bind to a wheelchair and reveals the truth to him. (Client),(Murdered guy),and the Reiko, the women (Client) was in love with were robbing a bank truck. The robbery went wrong when the (Murdered guy) killed a guard and then became seen by Kid so the (Murdered guy) was killed so they would not be caught. They then revealed that (Murdered guy) was already dead before (Client) begun to shoot and that Reiko was the true killer. When the (Client) panicked and tried to leave the city, his car was sabotaged in an attempt to kill him.

Reiko appears at that moment and confirms the truth begins to shoot to prevent the truth from being revealed. She reveals that she would have finished off (Client) if he was not so wrapped in guilt. Hattori throws a spear on the ceiling and Conan jumps, swings on the spear, turns and knocks the woman out using his football. Conan then accesses the computer but can not change the settings on the wristbands due to the computer receiving damage from a loose gunshot. Conan finally finds a server that works and links up the wirelessly connected laptop. The only thing left is to find out the password. The secret question to the password is "who I think about most". The answer is (Client). Conan then resets the timer on the wristbands on the last second and release the wristbands. He could not turn off the area restriction on the wristbands though.

The camera changes to where the people with wristwatches at held at a restaurant by the police. An officer collects their wristbands and the super snake, a roller coaster which is out of the boundaries of the park, is re-opened. The children all ride on the roller coaster until Hattori realizes that Genta still has his wristwatch on. Ai removes his wristwatch but because of the ride it flies to Hatori, and then to the empty seats behind Conan. Just then, Kaito Kid on a hand glider glides and grabs the wrist watch and throws it into the air where is explodes.

Conan, Ai, and Hattori were the only ones to notice Kid saved them. Conan reveals that Kid was with them for a long time,disguised as Hakuba Saguru, which explains his disappearance. At the post credit everyone returned home safely. Conan and Hattori are playing chess and Richard is taking a nap. The two legendary detectives that have failed was revealed to be only a bluff.

The 9th annual Detective Conan movie sets sail on a 100 million yen luxurious cruise. Fifteen years ago, a cruise named Yashiromaru, built by the Yashiro group, sank while sailing. In the present, a new cruise, the Saint Aphrodite, was built by the Yashiro group and Conan and the rest were invited through Sonoko. On the second day of the cruise, the mistress of the Yashiro family was found murdered in her room. Later, the President of the Yashiro group was also found missing. He had been thrown off the cruise into the ocean, seemingly by the same person. At the welcoming party, Kogorou shows off his deduction skills, and concluded that the sub-designer of the cruise, Akiyoshi, was the murderer. However, Conan has different ideas. Kusaka, a scriptwriter who worked in co-operation with Akiyoshi on a script, was the culprit. Kusaka immediately set off bombs and escaped by sea and the Detective Boys gave chase. After they successfully took down the criminal, more bombs were ignited. All passengers were evacuated, but Ran returned to her hiding place during the hide-and-seek game to find a necklace the Detective Boys made for her. However, as the ship swayed, she fainted in the enclosed area. Akiyoshi was also the murderer, and she was the one who did the killing and made Kusaka think that he did it himself. She also revealed that the accident that happened 15 years ago was not at accident, the cruise was sunk deliberately for its insurance, and that her father was the captain who died while the cruise sank. Kogorou, however, deduced correctly this time and managed to arrest Akiyoshi. As Kogorou and Conan began to evacuate, they found out that Ran was missing. They find her under the deck of the boat with the help of a fire axe. Afterwards a helicopter comes and picks them up. At the post credits, Conan explained he knew where Ran was because when he kicked the volleyball, Ran said she heard a soccer ball, meaning she was in a place with a tough wall. The detective kids come, and told Ran they made a better Necklace for her, and put it on her.

A stage actress, Julie wants to use her star sapphire for her upcoming play and asks for Kogoro Mori's help to protect it after showing Kogoro a letter from Phantom Thief Kid. On the day of the theft, Kid appears at the theatre disguised up as Shinichi Kudo but ends up fleeing in the end without the jewel. To thank them, Julie invites Kogoro and everyone to Hakodate, and they all travel on an airplane to get there. In the air, one of the show actor, Shinji, who was suppose to be elsewhere and Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki, joins them on the plane. As the plane takes off, Julie comes in physical contact with most of the individuals she invited, making them all suspects to her death by consuming a piece of poisoned chocolate, a homicide later found to be committed by her makeup artist, Atsuki.

The captains were also poisoned from Julie and were not able to pilot the plane, so Shinji agrees to take over because he supposedly "took courses", and appoints Conan to assist him. Conan figures out that Shinji is Kaitou Kid when Conan is asked to assist, as this logic would not apply in a similar situation. The storm and fire at the airport make it impossible to land while the plane fuel is running low. Conan picks a stable area that can support a commercial plane. Ran and Sonoko Suzuki eventually take over piloting the plane while Kid escapes by jumping off the plane and Conan has to "go to the bathroom." Conan then switches over to Shinichi's voice and guides Ran for landing the plane. Ran tells Shinichi that she loves him but ends the moment by telling him that she suddenly sees lights at the site. It turns out that Kid went near the police and uses police cars (because this policeman is obsessed with catching him) as guiding lights to land the plane. All went well, and the movie ends with Ran talking to Shinichi over the phone again arguing about silly things, thinking that it was Kid who guided her to land the plane, and is relieved that "her secret" isn't out.
