The legendary master thief Kaito Kid announces his next heist: the Siren Splash, a crown featuring one of the world's largest tourmalines, displayed at the Suzuki Building in Kinza. The exhibition hall is heavily secured, and the event is being broadcast live, further heightening the tension. While Ran and Sonoko watch the event from inside, Conan and the others prepare for Kid's inevitable appearance.
An elaborate security system has been installed to prevent theft: all windows are sealed, and the only access is a narrow, wind-filled passage called Fujin Road, designed to hinder movement. The alarm is triggered if the crown is moved even slightly. Additionally, experts, including gemstone appraisers Chujo Chikayo and Karino Bunji, have been brought in to verify the artifact's authenticity.
Meanwhile, Conan grows suspicious of Azusa, who delivered food for the guards. A red stain on her clothing raises questions—allegedly ketchup, but the color seems unusual. As the countdown to Kid's announced appearance continues, the tension rises.
Right at 9:00 PM, after the countdown, Kaito Kid appears. In a spectacular move, he seemingly makes the crown vanish into thin air, yet the security alarm remains silent, leaving everyone confused. Conan suspects the treasure is still there, possibly hidden by a visual trick, but Kid quickly escapes amid the ensuing chaos.
Since Fujin Road remains active and no one has passed through the exit, Jirokichi concludes that Kid must still be inside the exhibition hall, disguised as one of the attendees. A thorough search is conducted, but the crown remains missing. Further doubts arise when Ando Seria, the hall manager, is caught wearing different clothes, suggesting a deception attempt.
Despite tightened security measures and numerous precautions, Kaito Kid once again proves to be an elusive master thief. As Conan pieces together the clues, the mystery deepens—how did Kid make the crown disappear without triggering the alarm, and where is he hiding?
