Synopsis
Conan`s rich friend, Sonoko, is in auction hall with her famous grandfather in a skyscraper in New York. The highlight of this auction is one of Vincent Van Gogh`s Master-piece in his Sunflowers series. It claims to be newly discovered addition to the seven Arles series of Sunflowers. However, the painting looks exactly like an authenticated one found previously in Japan called The Second Sunflowers. Nobody knows which one is real. Suddenly, Sonoko`s grandfather wins the final bid for the picture.
He decides to open an exhibition and display a complete collection of Van Gogh`s Sunflowers, with addition of this painting. When suddenly during exhibition, they discover a calling card warning of an imminent heist left by the infamous thief known as Kid. True to his word, Kid the Phantom Thief makes his appearance before vanishing with the painting into the night sky.
An explosion goes off in the private freight plane carrying the Sunflower paintings into Japan, blowing off the door of the plane and sending the paintings into the sky. Next thing you know, Kid the Phantom Thief is flying away with the masterpieces from the exploded flight. After the event, the owners of the remaining Sunflower paintings begin to withdraw their paintings from the exhibition. However, Conan and his friends pay a visit to the exhibition of one of the Sunflower paintings in Lakerock Museum when they come across another heist notice from Kid the Phantom Thief. They finally get the stolen painting back after negotiating with the Thief.
On the day of the exhibition, in which seven Sunflower paintings are on display, a heist notice from Kid is again discovered, despite the high venue security. A big fire bursts out, with two of the Sunflower paintings are in danger of burning. Will our hero, Conan, save them in time?
