This live action adaptation of Detective Conan is the 10th anniversary special of the widely popular anime series.

The events in this episode happened before Kudou Shinichi became Detective Conan.  The episode begins in Teitan  High School where reporters and fans are waiting for Shinichi.  Shinichi has become popular after helping the police investigators solve the murder case of a manga writer.  Shinichi grants an interview but downplays his fame.  However, someone seems to be stalking him in school.

Shinichi finds his best friend Mouri Ran at the locker area.  He teases her by guessing the color of her underwear.  Apparently, it was Ran’s birthday the day before and her dad took a peek at the present her mom gave her.  Ran’s dad was riled when he saw the pink underwear for he thought that Ran was too young to have something too amorous.  Shinichi guessed that Ran would immediately wear her mom’s gift. 

Ran reminds Shinichi that it has been a while since he has given her anything for her birthday.  As a gift she wants to go to an amusement park called Tropical Land with him.  Shinichi declines and tells Ran to go with Suzuki Sonoko, Ran’s other best friend, instead.

In class, substitute teacher Kitajima Shingo briefs the class about the upcoming school trip.  Shinichi appears uninterested and bored.  After class, Ran gets all excited about the school trip but learns that Shinichi won’t join them.
