Story
"Pacific Buoy," an offshore facility built in the waters near Hachijojima Island, Tokyo, was designed to connect security cameras owned by police forces around the world. Engineers from all over the world gathered at the facility to connect it to the network under the jurisdiction of Europol, a European police organization, in preparation for full-scale operation. There, a test of a certain "new technology" based on a facial recognition system was also underway.
Meanwhile, Conan and the Detective Boys are on a whale-watching trip to Hachijojima at Sonoko's invitation.
The a groaning sound roars eerily in the sea. And a black shadow creeps up on Ai Haibara, who was staying at Hachijojima Island...
When the Tamatebako (black box) that should never be touched is opened, the past that has been sealed away now emerges from the sea...
