Ep. 1034: Conan y Yumi investigan el asesinato de Yasuaki Genda en un grupo de estudio de Shogi

1034

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.
