It's nighttime at the Metropolitan Police Academy. As the cherry blossoms are falling, the sound of Rei Furuya and Jinpei Matsuda punching each other echoes through the grounds. Matsuda doesn't like Furuya, who "really wants to become a police officer" despite being in the police academy. The two continued to fight without taking a step back. At 2 a.m., Kagemitsu Morofuse wakes up from a nightmare and he hears a knock on his door. He woke up to a knock at the door, and there was Furuya, covered in wounds. Morofusi, who had been watching him, asked, "Do you think you can get along with this person?", Morobushi asked. At the morning assembly, next to the wounded Furiaya and Matsuda were their classmates Morofusi, Kenji Hagiwara, and Wataru Date. Onizuka Hatsuzo, the instructor at the Onizuka Training Center, asks the reason for their wounds, but Date tactfully tells a lie. Matsuda, who says he hates the police but is able to answer questions about what it means to be a police officer, is questioned by Hatsuzo, and Furiaya begins to investigate his past.

Komejima is a new artist who has recently become an apprentice, and he seems to have some feelings about Kasuga, who has suddenly started painting female figures. Riko, who is managing Kasuga, doesn't seem to be too happy about it either. Meanwhile, Conan sees something unnaturally shiny outside his window and goes out to the garden to check it out. A gardener who comes by tells him that his part-time job as a model has a bad reputation, so Conan decides to go talk to the two women who were models before Ran, Aiyo Nagahata and Machiko Nogami.

On his way out of school, while the Detective Boys were talking about soccer, Conan was thinking about something else in the news. Nishikido, a shogi player who had disappeared in the wake of the eight-figure tournament, had been murdered and found dead. At the scene, there was a shogi board with one of its legs cut off. Conan and his friends are discussing the origin of the word "Yayakucho" from an article about the case that Conan had seen when Hideyoshi Haneda appears. Hideyoshi tells them that when he played against Nishikido, "I was not particularly impressed with him, but one time he came back from the bathroom and played a move that was so strange that it surprised me. When the Detective Boys see Hideyoshi looking clean-shaven and refreshed, they assume he has a date with his girlfriend Yumi, but Hideyoshi denies the date and leaves, saying he is meeting someone important. Then Yumi appears. Yumi had been following Hideyoshi because she was suspicious that he was getting dressed up and sneaking out more often. Conan is taken away by Yumi, who says, "It's harder to be noticed when you're with children. As Conan and Yumi continue to follow him, they see Hideyoshi buying a lot of donuts at a donut shop and talking to two women in a friendly manner. Conan and Yumi are so angry that they run out and tell Yumi that Hideyoshi was having a Shogi study session. The two women were Mizuna Katsumata and Shoko Uryu, both professional women's chess players. Kosuke Hishinuma, a professional shogi player, joins them and heads to the apartment where another participant, Yasuaki Genda, is waiting. However, Genda is found dead there. Beside him, there is a shogi board with a leg cut off.

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. From the time of the mass media release, it seemed unlikely that a copycat was involved. When I asked him about it, he told me that Genda was acquainted with Nishikido, and that the study group had originally consisted of Genda, Nishikido, Yuhei Kishimoto, and Kinji Uryu. Kinji was Shoko's brother and Mizuna's boyfriend, but he took his own life. The reason for his death is unknown, and Kishimoto, who had been looking up to Kinji, has been depressed ever since. When the study group was short of members, the three of them were called upon to join. When they peered out of the window to check on Kishimoto's home, they could see if there was smoke in the area.

There was a Shogi board with three legs cut off. Meanwhile, criminals kidnap Hideyoshi. He noticed something in the kitchen when Genda's body was found and went to see the murderer to encourage him to turn himself in. Conan contacts Akai at the Kudo residence and joins him. With Yusaku's advice, Conan gets an idea of the culprit, but the person has recently moved and is wary of calling, so he can't get the address. Hideyoshi's phone is also unreachable, and it seems that he didn't have his phone with the contact information of his close friends in case the culprit caught him. In the meantime, Akai starts to contact somewhere. It was a dedicated phone for Akai and Hideyoshi to talk in private. Hideyoshi notices the contact, connects the call, and starts playing blindfolded Shogi with the criminal. Conan and Akai go to Hideyoshi's rescue based on the GPS information on the phone.
