307
Three game designers visit Kogoro’s agency to request help locating their programmer, Subaru Itakara, who vanished after sending a video message from a hotel containing go, shogi, and chess sets. One producer suspects a mysterious man, whom Conan identifies as Tequila from the Black Organization. Kogoro contacts hotels to find anyone who rented all three board games, eventually locating Itakara’s room. Upon entering, they discover Itakara has died of a stroke. Police investigation reveals his body was tied up, suggesting someone prevented him from taking medication that could have avoided the stroke. Since only the three producers knew about the specific game sets and the hotel stay, they become the prime murder suspects.
