Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser (名探偵コナン　漆黒の追跡者(チェイサー), Meitantei Konan: Shikkoku no Cheisā^?) is the thirteenth movie installment of the Detective Conan manga and anime series. The movie was released in Japan on April 18, 2009. This movie earned 3.5 billion yen in the domestic Japanese box office, making it the highest-grossing movie in the Detective Conan series. The movie involves active members of the Black Organization, making this the Black Organization's second appearance in a movie since Countdown to Heaven. A special preview to the movie aired in Japan on Animax. A new member from the Black Organization that shrunk Shinichi's body manages to find out about Shinichi's transformation into Conan. This discovery starts to put those around him in danger as Gin and the other Black Organization members start to take action. The film was nominated for best animated film at the 2010 Awards of the Japanese Academy.

A man driving down a hillside road realizes that his car's brakes have failed. The car crashes into a toll booth, killing the man. He leaves a dying message: "Tanabata kyo." A Mahjong tile next to his body links this case to six others in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Nagano, and other Japanese prefectures. Because of the Mahjong tiles left beside each victim, the police conclude that the same person or organization committed these murders. The police across Japan unite to solve the serial murder case.
