They're probably at the Beika Department Store (700–704/578–581).

If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”

That's interestingly fast for the first file of the case. I guess this is going to be one of those cases where the trick doesn't require any research but it's based on the everyday things they've bought or found.
I'm curious, as well—nevertheless, the faster the case is resolved, the more time there is for plot.
Still wondering what Shinichi's/Conan's thoughts about MG were.

as far as I can tell from the text spoilers
These are not a translation, they are guesses based on the japanese
so might not be completely accurate
they are at the department store
Conan thinks about MG
Ayumi sees a cosmetics store, Conan says something about it
Haibara uses a sample from an employee but it gets dropped/ lost
Agasa has some kind of ticket/ coupon of some kind to eat lunch
The DB (excluding Conan and Agasa) all run off to go to stores
Something about a "claimer" harassing someone ??
Conan tries to text the DB
The "claimer" is stabbed in the stomach
The person freaks out and Conan orders the others to corner the person
Megure arrives, there are three suspects, all sweating
1. a part time worker (male) who was searching the bathroom for something, but then was on route to search a convenience store for it
2. Housewife who thought she lost her wallet (and something about her finding it in her bag)
3. the chef (male) who went to another shop to eat Thai food (to research the flavor). the food caused him to sweat
I hope that I can find someway to contribute to the community even if it's just random crack theories and looking things up for people who can't find the information they need.

Spoiler:
Considering the fact that Conan has only recently confirmed that Masumi is indeed Akai sister, I'd say that he will reflect more on the kind of connection the MG has also with Akai .
What I'm curious about is, whether Conan will wonder as well about the brother who was helping sera with cases over the phone.

Spoiler:
MG has only appeared 3 times, so far (876–878/759–760; 899–902/785–786; 903–905/787–788), and has been mentioned 3 other times (872–875/754–756 (even her intro lacked an actual appearance); 879–881/763–764; 928–930). He knows she watched him at the hotel (877/759), and that she and Masumi found and destroyed his bug (878/760), but beyond that, he doesn't really have much to go on, besides the additional info about Masumi really being Shuichi's sister, and this connecting to the fact that MG looks very much like Masumi, and has Shuichi's eyes.
Yes, I would very much like to know his thoughts on the middle brother—will he think of Shukichi? Will he realize the possibility that Shuichi's the one who's been in contact with Masumi?

Agreed, There's nothing seriously big he can come up with at this moment, but what I'm mostly anticipating is the possibility of us getting a big development of MG in the end of the case(If not that she starts appearing in it midway)!!! This is Gosho's usual strategy when it comes to developing the main plot to any wished extent! I'm really looking forward to this also because haibara is here, the one MG is possibly trying to reach!! But how big the development is depends on what Conan is thinking of...(for example, when Conan thought Kuroda was too far away to be considered dangerous he suddenly got closer to them!)
DC's Awesome Qoutes:
Spoiler:
Bourbon:''A child's curiosity and a detective's spirit of inquiry do have much in common''
Vermouth:''A secret makes a woman, woman''
Mary/Gin:''It's like encountering a demon in the darkness...''
Akai Shuichi:''Fear of death is worse than death itself''
Shinichi Kudo:''following the smell of blood to arrive upon a crime scene, using every one of your senses to hunt the culprit, then once you've seized hold of him, sinking your sharp teeth(your evidence) until your opponent gives up the ghost, That's a detective''
But how would we get from Conan thinking about Sera, Akai and maybe the MG to Rum? Here's what's more likely: Conan thinks about the MG, case happens, the end and then maybe something next case.
The possibilities are open—I have no idea what the next 2 files have in store for us (I'll assume it's two), but I'm eager to find out.

#939 p3: Conan (thinking) "If Sera is Akai-san's younger sister..." "Then why exactly did she return to Japan from America?" "Was it to confirm the news of Akai-san's death?" "So that's why she approached me, because of my dealings with the FBI?" "...if that's the case, she should have looked into me further..." "As expected Sera is connected somehow..." "To that girl around middle school age that she's hiding in the hotel..."
p3, cont: "Her name is most likely Mary..." "She called herself the little sister from outside the domain..." "She greatly resembles Sera..." "No, that's wrong..." "That girl, rather than resembling Sera..." (then he's interrupted by Ai)
he blatantly avoids the question when Ai asks him what he's thinking about, as usual (what communication :v)

Spoiler:
So reading between the lines, Conan is thinking - "Rather than that girl resembling Sera, it's Sera who resembles the girl", adding more weight to the Mystery Girl Mom theory.

Spoiler:
That comes from a translation from the Chinese, so I don't know
found the Raw, so here is the original japanese text
(Original wording) 領域外の妹と名乗る... 世良によく似た... いや... あの子世良というより..... (Haibara interrupts)... 何?考え事?
