About "Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween":
A wedding ceremony is being held in Shibuya’s “Hikarie”. The bride, Sato, a detective of the Metropolitan Police Department, is in a wedding dress. While Conan and other the guests are watching, a group of thugs suddenly invade the venue and attack. Detective Takagi puts himself in danger and risks his life to protect Sato.

Though the situation is settled, and Detective Takagi is safe, Sato is reminded of the incident about the series of bombings from three years ago; the ones that killed Detective Matsuda, her first love.
 
At the same time, the criminal behind the bombing incident three years ago, has escaped prison. Is this a coincidence?

However, another person in a mysterious costume appeared, and attached a collar bomb on him.
