Summary: 

Gin and Vodka, on a hunt for Shiho Miyano, sneak into Akemi Miyano's flat and listen to the messages on the answering machine. They discover that Shiho will attend a private viewing of two new skyscrapers in Tokyo with Kudo Shinichi. Gin and Vodka plan to end Shiho at the towers, together with destroying a possible data that had their information in it. Later, Yoshiaki Hara was murdered in the towel, when he was staying overnight there. Then, Ohki Iwamatsu was killed in his apartment. And later, Tokiwa Mio was murdered during the opening ceremony. Sake cups were left behind at each murder scene, making the police think that it was a serial murder. Conan then confronts the serial murderer, Kiseragi, an elderly painter, when the building was one fire. Kiseragi blamed the tower employees for the construction of the tower, an edifice that obstructed his view of the Fuji Mountains. With the bridges blown off and the bottom floors in flames, Conan powers a Ford Mustang convertible with the force of an explosion to propel the kids and him to safety. Viewing the inferno from afar, Gin and Vodka confirm that Shiho Miyano was not at the towers and abandon their search for her.

Personal ratings: 3

Even though i think that this movie was quite a connection in the front and the back, I really did not see the importance of the role of the black organization in this movie. They played a very unimportant role. One thing that really bugs me at the end of the show is that the black organization actually left behind clues of their presence after killing Ohki Iwamatsu. They should also gave hints that he was from the black organization, and not only tell us at the end. If they could adjust these I think the movie would be much better. For this show, it was more about the Shounen tantei dan (Boys detective group).

I really like all the action in the burning building. I like how they made use of the car and the explosive to escape the building, and also how they made use of Ayumi's counting skills to get a better timing of the explosive.
