Description

Taiko Meijin's Shogi Board (Brilliant Move) Conan and Yumi visit the apartment where Hideyoshi is holding a Shogi study group, and find one of the participants, Yasuaki Genda, murdered there. A Shogi board with two legs cut off was found next to him. The room was unlocked, and the three claim that someone had broken in while the other participants, Mizuna Katsumata, Sachiko Uryu, and Kosuke Hishinuma, were out shopping. Hishinuma bought a lukewarm but still warm cup of coffee, Mizuna bought a loaf of bread, and Shoko bought a cold ice cream. The state of the items purchased by the three of them was such that they could claim that they had just bought them, thus establishing their alibi. The police begin to consider the possibility of a series of murders, since a shogi board with one leg cut off was left at the scene of the recent case where the missing player, Kimiharu Nishikido, was found dead...
