action
An amazing find is presented to the Japanese public. In a warehouse of the influential Suzuki family, the 51 Imperial Easter Egg (was Fabergé egg ) found that of Czar Nicholas II . was commissioned. It is now to be exhibited in Osaka .
Shortly thereafter, the police received an encrypted message from the master thief 1412, Kaitō Kid , who announced the theft of the egg. Shiro Suzuki - head of the Suzuki family - asks the famous detective Kogorō Mōri to help defend the cultural heritage. He accepts and travels to Osaka with his daughter Ran and Conan. Four other people there are interested in the egg and behave strangely: Sergej Ovchinikov, first secretary of the Russian embassy, Shōichi Inui, a wealthy art dealer, the scientist Seiran Hoshi, and the reporter Ryū Sagawa, who is working on a report on the egg.
Despite the strictest security precautions, the "magician of the last century", as Kid describes himself in his letter, manages to steal the egg. But on his escape, Kid is taken from the sky by an unknown sniper who shoots him directly in the right eye. He disappears without a trace. The egg is later found in the sea. It remains unclear whether Kid was killed in the crash.
Back in Tokyo , Natsumi Kōsaka shows up. Her great-grandfather was the foreman of the eggs and made them on behalf of the Tsar. After the Russian Revolution he had to flee to Japan and settled there. Natsumi found a partially destroyed sketch in her great-grandfather's estate, which shows the 51st egg. However, it soon becomes clear that there must be a 52nd egg.
All of the named people are now on the way to the foreman’s estate, where the 52nd egg is suspected to be. It is a castle on an island, which is why they arrive by ship. The police put Inspector Shiratori at their side, who has surprisingly returned from vacation. On the way, the reporter Sagawa is found dead in his cabin. He was killed by a shot in the right eye. Conan investigates and learns that a hitherto undetected and largely unknown contract killer always kills using this method. He must be one of the people on board.
In the castle the group finds a secret entrance which leads them into an underground tunnel vault. There they find a coffin in which Kōsaka's great-grandmother lies. She holds the second egg in her hands. The group also finds out that the first egg can be placed in the second. Through a mechanism that is activated by light beams from a flashlight, images that resemble a family album are projected onto the wall.
The next moment the lights go out and shots are fired. The art dealer Inui is murdered. The lock is set on fire and the killer tries to escape with the two eggs. Conan manages to follow him. It turns out that Seiran Hoshi is actually the killer. She is a descendant of Rasputin and shoots her victims in the right eye because he missed it after his murder. She wanted to get the eggs because they were supposedly a gift from the Tsar to Rasputin. The reporter Sagawa had to die because he accidentally filmed her with a picture of him and she didn't want to take any risk of exposure. The art dealer Inui because he recognized her.
She now also wants to shoot Conan, but is prevented from doing so by the Kaitō Kid, who survived the crash and disguised himself as Inspector Shiratori the whole time. He only wanted to steal the egg in order to return it to the rightful owner, Kōsaka. The Russian secretary realizes that it is a family heirloom and waives all claims on behalf of Russia .
In the evening, Ran sits quietly in her father's office. She strokes Kid's pigeon, which she had nursed back to health. When Conan comes into the office, he notices that something is wrong with Ran. Ran thanks Conan for saving her in the castle and tells him that he reminds her of Shinichi. With tears in her eyes, she asks Conan if he is Shinichi. Conan decides to reveal the truth about his identity to her, but Shinichi (Kaito Kid in disguise) suddenly appears at the detective agency's door. When Ran wants to bring him a towel quickly, he leaves the detective agency. Conan runs after him and praises him for his disguise as Shiratori. He also tells him that Natsumi's great-grandmother was the daughter of Nicholas II and that Kaito wanted to return the Fabergé egg to its rightful owner. When she died, he had the castle built for her as a kind of mausoleum . Kaito Kid does not reveal why he is helping Conan to protect his identity, but Conan realizes that he only does this because Ran took care of his pigeon. When Ran comes with a towel, Kid disappears, wrapped in a flock of his pigeons.

For the first time, popular characters from the series such as Heiji, Takagi, kaito Kid and Ai appear in a film, the plot is exciting and offers an “all-round beautiful ending”. The fan magazine Funime, on the other hand, rates the image quality as similarly average as in the two previous films. Although is the magician of the last century "happily time bomb free" and with Ai Haibara, but "to stress he does not come close in on the first film."
