Situation
In an abandoned house, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta are playing a horror game using store mannequins, but Ayumi repeatedly blows the mood because her fear always makes way for amusement at the sight of Mitsuhiko and Genta wielding mannequin arms. They become alarmed, however, when in one of the next rooms they hear glass shattering, and upon investigating, they witness two men calling each other Kurata and Suzuki arguing: Suzuki, apparently wishing to ditch the transportation company he's working for in favor of a better salary, has already diverted some of his company's loyal customers to their rival, Sanada Transportation. The argument quickly escalates into a fight, and while the Detective Boys are at a loss about what to do, one of the men quickly lies dead.
The Detective Boys waste no time calling up Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency, but while they do, the killer parks a truck outside and prepares to dispose of the body. Impulsively, the hitch a ride on the truck in order to find out where it will go and are able to escape the culprit's notice as he deposits the body inside, but in the excitement Ayumi has forgotten her Detective Badge, which she had just used to call Conan, and with no time to retrieve it before the killer departs from the scene (and it being the only Badge they had brought along), Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta have no way of telling Conan about the course of their ride and eventual point of destination.
