Later, Shukichi leaves for an important meeting, but the group meet Yumi, who is following Shukichi because he is acting strange. Haibara then says that Shukichi might have an affair. Yumi decides to take Conan with her.
Shukichi then enter a donut shop. While waiting for Shukichi, Conan asks Yumi if she has meet Shukichi's parents. Yumi says that Shukichi was adopted by the super rich Haneda family when he was trying to be a professional shogi player, so that Shukichi could fullfill Kohji Haneda's dream. Yumi also aware of Shukichi's biological family, betting that the whole family is also carfree like him. Conan, who knows about the family, says nothing about it.
Yumi then realizes that they are in front of Star Donut, which Yumi sugested Shukichi to go. Yumi is happy, but only for a while, because Shukichi is later seen talking to two women. She then approaches him, only to find that the two women are happy to meet Yumi.
The two women, Mina Katsumata and Shoko Uryu, are young shogi players who are attending shogi study session. Shukichi is involved because he is asked by Chikara Katsumata, Mina's father.
They arrive at an apartment, where another young shogi player, Kosuke Hishinuma, is waiting. There is also another shogi player, Yasukiyo Genda, who is waiting in the apartment. However, Genda is not answering the bell, so they enter the building using the spare key brought by Mina.
They arrive at the room and found the door is not locked. After some searching, Hishinuma finds Genda's body in the kitchen.

Shukichi touchs the kitchen counter and notices something near mixer, toaster, and ice trays.
Takagi and Sato later arrive at the crime scene. Shukichi, knowing the reason why Yumi followed him, has a small argument with her, before get interupted by Sato.
Brilliant Move
Sato and Takagi starts questioning the others, suspecting that they might pretend to buy food and kill Genda. Hishinuma, who bought cups of coffee, said that the water heater is broken, and the stove is not hot. Mina bought freshly baked bread, and there is no microwave, so it is impossible to reheat the bread. Shoko bought some ice cream, and they had checked the freezer to make sure there is no ice cream before go to buy it. They also meet each other before heading to the apartment and they didn't bring any food beforehand.
Sato deduces that the murder might be the work of an outsider, and a serial murder. There is a shogi board with two missing legs next to Genda. In Nishikido case, a shogi board with one missing leg was found. It was revealed that Genda and Nishikdo were friends. The shogi study session is originally run by Genda, Nishikido, Yuhei Kishimoto, and Kinji Uryu. Kinji, who is Shoko's older brother and Mina's boyfriend, committed suicide. After that, Kishimoto became depressed.

Conan warned that there might be more murders, since there are two remaining legs on the shogi board. Sato plans to talk to Kishimoto, so she asks Hishinuma. He later points out from the window the house next to a public bath. However, a smoke appears from that place. Sato then warns the others that they might be the next target.
Sato and Takagi meet Yuminaga at the crime scene. Kishimoto is found burnt in the house, and might still alive before the fire started because his rectal temperature hadn't fallen much. Next to Kishimoto, a shogi board with three missing legs is found. Yuminaga then surprised that Conan, who is observing the shogi board, is there.

That night, Shukichi goes to the culprit house to encourage them to turn in to the police.
The next day, while on the way home from school, Conan recalls the case. He was interupted by Genta who was annoyed by capsule toys machine, so he decides to mix up the machine.
Later, he get a phone call from Yumi. Shukichi has been missing since last night and she asks Conan if he knows where Shukichi is. Conan recalls that Shukichi might notice something. Yumi also mentions that Shukichi seems to forget something when they left the apartment, but after he came back, he admitted that it was a mistake on his part.
Yumi then ends the call. Chiba and Naeko, who are with Yumi at the time, deduce that Shukichi might be shocked after Yumi tried to tail him. Hearing that, Yumi is angry, then teases both of them for getting along so well. However, they admit that they had an argument last night.
Meanwhile, Shukichi is abducted by the culprit. After he enters the room, the culprit use stun gun to knock him out and tied him to the leg of a table. Shukichi deduces that the culprit is waiting for police announcement, but he already prevent that.

Shukichi, knowing that Akai is calling him, answer the phone, and asked the culprit to do blind shogi. Akai then uses GPS to find Shukichi's location.
