It was another beautiful day in the city of Tokyo, and in the Mouri detective agency things were, well, like usual I guess: Kogoro was hearing the results of a horse race, hoping to gathered some extra cash, other than the one earned in his last case solved.
Well, to tell the truth, this case was once again solved by a certain high school detective, whose body has been recently shrunken down because of a poison he was forced to drink by a member of a secret black organisation.

"Magic does exist" a mysterious voice said, and after hearing that Ran looked around herself in search for someone
"Who said that? Where are you?" Ran asked
"Go down the alley on your right, then go left" the voice said
Ran looked on her left and there really was an alley. She gulped down and then said
"All right" and so she started walking. Once at the of the alley, she turned left and saw
