It was just another day in Japan, more specifically in a royal hotel. Then the silence was broken.
"That can only mean one thing!" Inspector Megure and Inspector Nakamori said simultaneously. The two looked at the officer in front of them as a smoke bomb went off, sending the whole crowd of policemen in confusion. The officer slipped on a top hat and peeled away a fake face, emerging from the mist in a white suit.
"Kaitou Kid!" Nakamori yelled, though the phantom thief snatched the ruby pendant and jumped up into an air duct.
"C'mon guys, the Detective Boys can stop him!" Genta said happily, leading Ayumi and Mitsuhiko down the hall and up the stairs.
"Kid's probably trying to use the roof, since his hand glider is his favorite method of escape," Haibara assumed. Conan shook his head.
"It's a set up, he's not going to be gliding away at all," He said, running with her down the stairs to the first floor. The two bumped into a bellman by accident, who was carrying two suitcases.
"Sorry!" He said, walking to deliver them to a taxi.
"Hold it right there, Kaitou Kid!" Conan yelled, pressing a gadget on his belt to inflate a soccer ball. He then quickly revved his shoe and kicked the suitcase out of the man's hands, knocking it to the floor.
"Quite a tenacious brat.." Kid mumbled, discarding the disguise.
"How did you know?" Haibara asked Conan.
"Keep in mind I'm not just a little kid, I'm still the great detective Shinichi Kudo. His method of escape was easy to figure out," Conan said confidently. He tapped a button on his watch to ready his tranquilizer.
"Kaitou Kid, today I'm going to arrest you."
A bright red flash took place in the hotel lobby, blinding both kids and the phantom thief.
"What the hell?!" Inspector Megure yelled, blinded by the sudden light as well.
