Plot
Recently, a series of assaults have been occurring against seemingly unconnected people – or are they? Soon, Kogoro Mori discovers that he is somehow the key to these crimes; the people being targeted are connected to Mori in some way, have something in their name that correlates to a playing card, and have a symbol from that card left next to the crime scene each time. But who is the assailant, and what does he have in mind for Mori himself? Conan must once more use his powers of deduction to put a stop to the madness as time starts to run out for The Fourteenth Target!
At the beginning of the movie, Ran has a dream of her mother, Eri, being shot. Ran later calls Eri and tells her of her dream.
The scene then briefly changes to a scene of a jail, where a man named Murakami Jou holds out a notebook that says, "Beika City, Mouri Kogoro."
The scene transistions again to the Detective Boys waiting on a bench for Dr. Agasa. While waiting, Ayumi tries a love match, and the machine tells her Conan and Ayumi are a perfect match. She then tries Conan's fortune, which is "A chance for an A [kiss]"; when Conan hears this he wonders how old that machine is. Agasa then comes, and takes the Detective Boys to the Touto Aeronautic Memorial Museum.
On display there, there are many kinds of helicopters and planes. While there, Agasa tries to give a quiz, only to be intercepted by Mitsuhiko. Once Conan answers the quiz, they see Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum. Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Murakami Jou is shown knocking on the door. When he gets no answer, he leaves.
Ran is shown with Sonoko at the autograph signing of one of Nishina Minoru, a essayist,'s books, where she tells him to keep writing "tasty" books. They later go to a cafe, and Ran mentions the fight that caused Mouri's and Eri's divorce when she was seven. Ran also mentions that the dinner with Eri is at seven o'clock.
Conan later comes back to the agency to see Mouri just getting ready. He sees a TV interview on Asashi Katsuyoshi, the owner of the entertainment complex "Aquacrystal", but Ran turns the TV off and Conan quickly gets ready.
At the dinner at a restaraunt "La Fluer", Eri is shown to be as sharp as ever, predicting that Mouri would be late because he played mahjong until late. Right after, a professional golfer by the name of Tsuji Hiroki, also an acquaintance of Mouri's, comes into the restaraunt. Mouri mentions that Tsuji is participating in the U.S Open.
During a dinner, Ran shows a suprising amount of knowledge about wine, knowing what the grape badge (a mark of a sommelier) was for, what the tastevin around the sommelier's neck is what its for. Conan is shown enjoying the dinner, but Ran later notices that Conan's mouth is dirty, and tries to clean him up. At the moment, Conan remembers his fortune "A chance for a kiss" and blushes. However, Mouri uses his cloth to clean Conan up, which gets Conan angry. Mouri and Eri show suprisingly good chemistry during the dinner, and during the converstation Eri mentions 10 years ago when Mouri and Eri came to this restaraunt. But then, Mouri suddenly notices Peter Ford, a newscaster, near Okano Towako. When Mouri expresses anger, believing that Ford was flirting with Okano, Eri mistakenly thinks that Mouri loves Okano, and leaves.
A week later, Megure is shown shot by an arrow while jogging. Mouri, the Detective Boys, and Ran come to visit Megure in the hospital. Shiratori tells them that the arrow was shot with a crossbow, and a western sword was found at the scene.
Later, Eri is shown at her office, and her assistant gives her a package with Zigoba chocolates inside. Eri eats one, but suddenly falls unconscious, poisoned by agricultural chemicals. However, Eri is not in danger, as she was quickly rushed into the hospital. On the chocolate box, there is a paper flower that seems familiar to Conan.
Conan is later shown with Dr. Agasa, the latter fixing up Conan's skateboard, when suddenly the front door is shattered with a rock. When Agasa goes to investigate what happened, he is shot by a mysterious person on a motorcycle. When the man flees, Conan gives chase on his skateboard, but quickly loses him at a fork. He contacts the Detective Boys to look for a bike, where the Detective Boys give the man's approximate location. When the person sees Conan, he suddenly sharply turns and rides up and down a stairway. Conan tries to give chase, but is distracted by a falling old woman, and loses the person. When Conan returns to the house, he finds a mysterious object, and finally realizes the connection between the sword, the flower, and the strange object, as well as the victims.
The sword, flower, and the strange object are objects held by the King, Queen, and Jack of playing cards. In addition, Megure's first name, Juuzou, can be read as 13. Kisaki in English means Queen. Agasa's last name Hiroshi's last character, shi, is a combination of 10 and 1. Megure comes into the room, and tells that Murakami Jou may be the culprit of the serial killing. Mouri also mentions that it wouldn't be strange if Murakami has a grudge, giving that he arrested the latter before. When Shiratori tries to give specifics, Megure suddenly cuts him off. Mouri then mentions that he knows someone with ten, or "tou" in her name, Towako. The police quickly rush and place Towako under protection. When Ran and Conan later asks Shiratori what he was going to say, he mentions that Murakami tried to escape arrest, and held Ran's mother as hostage. Despite standard training, Mouri opens fire on a captor, and eventually left the force.
When Ran later calls Conan as Shinichi, she asks him if he would shoot on a captor. Conan mentions that although Mouri did shoot Eri, he also mentions if that was the whole truth, and hangs up. At the agency, Conan later sees another person with ten in his name, Tsiji Hiroki. Megure, Mouri, and Shiratori quickly rush to Tsuji's location, along with Ran and Conan. Tsuji refuses to cancel the trip, but allows Megure and Mouri to escort him to Touto Airport. Conan is later shown to have snuck on the helicopter.
