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 Edogawa
talks to Ran Mouri on the phone as Shinichi Kudo. He investigates and 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; Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Sonoko Suzuki, 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, Chigusa 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 agreed when she learned that 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 someone singing.
The next day Ran plays the piano while the kids sing the Teitan 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 suffers 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 boys, 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.
Mouri (incorrectly) deduces that the murderer is Doumoto Genya as a year ago the quarter quintet badly performed the 9th symphony of Beethoven whilst drunk. Mouri 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"
was released on April 19, 2008, two days after the movie was released.
Many ties have been made to the OVA, specifically the scene where Shinichi and Ran walk down a path beside a river and forest and hearing a woman singing "Amazing Grace", revealed to be Akiba singing.
. It was released on April 9, 2008. Along with The Fourteenth Target
and Strategy Above the Depths
, this is the third Detective Conan movie theme song by Zard.
The official soundtrack was released on April 16, 2008.
