=== Situation ===
=== Situation ===
Mysterious assassinations have been happening around the world. The suspect is a spy accessing classified files. In Japan, a spy breaks into police headquarters and accesses secret files on spies planted in the [[Black Organization]] by many intelligence agencies: the English [[Wikipedia:Secret_Intelligence_Service|MI6]], the German [[Wikipedia:Federal_Intelligence_Service_(Germany)|<!--BND is the right order, BDN is wrong-->BND]], the Canadian [[Wikipedia:Canadian_Security_Intelligence_Service|CSIS]], and the American [[Central_Intelligence_Agency|CIA]] and [[Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation|FBI]].<!-- This is more detailed than the http://conan-movie.jp/news20/ writeup, but the pictures in the leaks show computer screens with info on spies in the Black Organization. The CSIS is one of them.--> Before this spy can steal the files, [[Rei Furuya]] arrives with a cadre of his [[Public Security Bureau|secret police officers]]. The spy makes a getaway in a stolen car, but Rei soon catches up in his [[Cars#Rei.27s_Mazda_RX-7|Mazda FD RX-7]]. The two jockey for position on the highway and are about to cause a huge wreck. Before they can crash, [[Shuichi Akai]] snipes the spy's car from the hood of [[Cars#Akai.27s_Ford_Mustang|his red and white striped Ford Mustang]]. The spy's car tumbles off the highway.
Mysterious assassinations have been happening around the world. The suspect is a spy accessing classified files.

The next day, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and his friends meet up at the newly renovated "Tohto Aquarium". Under the centerpiece of the park, a massive ferris wheel, they find an injured woman with "odd eyes" ([[Wikipedia:heterochromia_iridum|heterochromia]]). The woman is suffering memory loss, she doesn't know her own name and even her phone is broken. Conan and his friends decide to stay together with her and help her to recover her memory. Unknown to Conan and his friends, [[Vermouth]] had been lurking nearby with a silenced pistol and had overheard everything. She pulls back and contacts her comrades: "It's as planned, [[Gin]]." The woman in question is in fact a new member of the Black Organization.

== Trivia ==
[[File:MV-22_Osprey_Line_Drawing.svg|thumb|Line drawing of a V-22 Osprey (MV-22)]]
* This is the first movie to feature [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], as well as [[Public Security Bureau]] agent [[Rei Furuya]].
* The helicopter seen at the movie's climax is a [[Wikipedia:Bell_Boeing_V-22_Osprey|Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey]]. This American military aircraft is unique for having tiltrotors: rotors which move between a vertical position like a helicopter and a horizontal position like a turboprop plane. The V-22 can take off vertically and hover, but also cruise long range at high speed. At the time this film was released, no V-22 Ospreys have been delivered to non-US countries, although Japan's parliament approved a defense budget in January 2015 with funding for five V-22s which will be delivered by 2018. Between 2012 and 2014, between 6 and 24 of the Marine Variant MV-22 Ospreys were deployed at American Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa. Incidentally the V-22 has acquired notoriety for crashing, which prompted protests by Okinawans who doubted its airworthiness.
:There are two routes the [[Black Organization]] might have used to obtain a V-22. One is to steal one from from an American military base in Japan. The other is to have secretly infiltrated a military base in the United States where damaged, defective, or decommissioned V-22s are stored, disassembled one (or parts of several), and removed it while creating a false paper trail that it had been decommissioned and cannibalized for parts.
