Part 1

A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. Realizing that Shiro was skilled with kendo, Conan assumes that his name would show up in past kendo competitions. After finding an address, they enter Shiro's apartment and find out Shiro has been murdered.
