Detective Conan Episode 1035 "Taiko
Meijin's Shogi Board (Checkmate)"
**[00:00] Conan**
[op]
**[00:00] Conan**
[ed]
**[00:00] Conan**
On the way home from school,
**[00:02] Conan**
Miyamoto Yumi-san forced me to accompany
her as she tailed Haneda Shukichi Meijin,
**[00:06] Conan**
who she suspected of infidelity.
**[00:09] Conan**
However, Haneda Meijin was simply
meeting some young shogi players
**[00:14] Conan**
at an apartment for a shogi study session.
**[00:20] Hishinuma**
It's unlocked.
**[00:22] Hishinuma**
Genda-san?
**[00:25] Hishinuma**
G-Genda-san!
**[00:27] Shoko**
Hishinuma-san?
**[00:30] Hishinuma**
Genda-san, are you all right?! Genda-san!
**[00:34] Conan**
Additionally, a third victim appeared in what the
police determined were a series of serial murders.
**[00:42] Sato**
Inspector Yuminaga.
**[00:43] Sato**
What's the situation?
**[00:45] Yuminaga**
We avoided a total loss, but the resident
who was inside was burnt to a crisp.
**[00:50] Yuminaga**
Since no vital signs were
detected in the body,
**[00:53] Yuminaga**
he seems to have died
before the fire started.
**[00:56] Takagi**
Shortly before?
**[00:58] Takagi**
You mean he died after that shogi player
was murdered at the Beika City apartment?
**[01:02] Yuminaga**
I heard from Megure that a shogi
board was found at the crime scene.
**[01:08] Yuminaga**
We actually found one here, too.
**[01:12] Yuminaga**
A shogi board missing three legs.
**[01:16] Conan**
And furthermore, Taiko Meijin
was kidnapped by the culprit.
**[01:22] Yusaku**
You said Akai-kun's brother seemed
to have noticed something.
**[01:27] Yusaku**
*What made you think that?*
**[01:29] Conan**
When the Meijin moved around the people
in front of him to get a look at the body,
**[01:34] Conan**
he touched the kitchen counter.
**[01:37] Conan**
He held his hand as though
he'd touched something.
**[01:40] Yusaku**
*What was on top of the kitchen counter then?*
**[01:43] Conan**
Nothing significant.
**[01:46] Conan**
Just two ice trays, a mixer,
and a toaster, I think.
**[01:53] Yusaku**
Sounds like there was a magic tool one of
them could've used to fabricate an alibi.
**[02:01] Conan**
Oh, right!
**[02:05] Conan**
It comes to visit after falling asleep!
**[02:06] Conan**
Fall in love with logical deduction
and the pleasure of solving mysteries!
**[02:09] Conan**
What will be the final move
that tears down their alibi?
**[02:11] Conan**
Always determining the one truth
**[02:13] Conan**
with the body of a child
and the mind of an adult,
**[02:14] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** Taiko Meijin's Shogi Board

**[04:00] Conan**
"Taiko Meijin's Shogi Board, Checkmate!"

**[04:14] Akai**
It's been a while, kid,
**[04:16] Akai**
since I last met you while wearing this face.
**[04:18] Conan**
We didn't have a choice.
**[04:20] Conan**
I doubt you had time to disguise yourself.
**[04:22] Akai**
Yukiko-san certainly wanted to disguise me.
**[04:28] Akai**
So, do you know where my brother is?
**[04:32] Conan**
He's probably being held
at the culprit's home,
**[04:37] Conan**
but apparently they moved recently.
**[04:40] Conan**
I could only figure out their phone number.
**[04:43] Conan**
They answered Yumi-san's call this morning,
**[04:46] Conan**
so I thought about calling and
getting their address out of them,
**[04:51] Conan**
but they're on their guard
and won't answer their phone.
**[04:55] Conan**
Naturally, I've been calling the Meijin's
phone as well, but it's powered off.
**[05:00] Akai**
It's possible he expected
the culprit to capture him,
**[05:04] Akai**
and didn't take a phone containing
information about his close friends.
**[05:10] Akai**
Although as his brother, I wish he'd
consider how not to get captured.
**[05:17] Conan**
Who are you calling?
**[05:19] Akai**
My brother's other phone.
**[05:22] Akai**
We use it exclusively for
secret conversations.
**[05:27] Akai**
Like a certain high school detective,
**[05:31] Akai**
officially I don't exist.
***SIGN*** Brother Incoming Call
**[05:36] [Messenger] Sign**
Answer Decline
**[05:38] Shukichi**
*A-An incoming call.*
**[05:40] Shukichi**
*Must be my brother.*
**[05:47] Akai**
He picked up.
**[05:48] Conan**
Really?
**[05:52] Shukichi**
*Excuse me.*
**[05:54] Shukichi**
You seem to be waiting for something.
**[05:57] Shukichi**
We're both shogi players.
**[05:59] Shukichi**
If you've got nothing better to do...
**[06:03] Shukichi**
Would you like to play a game
of blind shogi with this Meijin?
**[06:15] Shukichi**
4-5 P.
**[06:17] Culprit**
Same P.
**[06:19] Shukichi**
5-5 S.
**[06:21] Culprit**
2-4 P.
**[06:23] Shukichi**
6-4 P.
**[06:25] Culprit**
Same P.
**[06:27] Shukichi**
5-6 G.
**[06:29] Culprit**
2-5 P.
**[06:31] Shukichi**
Well, well. Not bad.
**[06:35] Shukichi**
In that case, 6-4 S.
**[06:38] Culprit**
5-5 P.
**[06:40] Conan**
Th-They're playing blind shogi?
**[06:43] Akai**
Yeah.
**[06:44] Akai**
My brother must be up to something.
**[06:48] Conan**
He might be using the game record of that
blind shogi game to tell us where he's being held.
**[06:54] Akai**
No, that's not necessary.
**[06:58] Akai**
Since I could complete
the call, I can use this.
**[07:01] Conan**
A GPS?
**[07:03] Akai**
In any case, I'll hurry to this location.
**[07:06] Akai**
Could you listen to my brother's blind
shogi match while explaining to me
**[07:14] Akai**
how you identified the culprit?
**[07:19] Conan**
The suspects are the following three people who
said left the victim in the room to go shopping.
**[07:26] Conan**
Hishinuma Kosuke, who went to a coffee
shop to pick up coffee for everyone.
***SIGN*** Hishinuma Kosuke (24)
Shogi Player
**[07:32] Conan**
Katsumata Mina, who bought
freshly baked bread at a bakery.
***SIGN*** Katsumata Mina (23)
Female Shogi Player
**[07:38] Conan**
And Uryu Shoko, who purchased
freezing cold ice cream.
***SIGN*** Uryu Shoko (23)
Female Shogi Player
**[07:45] Conan**
Even if they'd wanted to acquire what they
purchased beforehand to fabricate an alibi...
**[07:51] Takagi**
*But couldn't you use instant coffee and water*
**[07:54] Takagi**
* from a hot water heater*
* to make lukewarm coffee?*
**[07:57] Hishinuma**
* Actually, the water*
* heater's broken right now.*
**[08:02] Hishinuma**
*It only dispenses cold water.*
**[08:04] Takagi**
*Then how about an electric kettle?*
**[08:06] Hishinuma**
*I broke that the other day, too.*
**[08:10] Sato**
*What about that stove?*
**[08:12] Sato**
*Couldn't you use that to boil water?*
**[08:15] Hishinuma**
*Well, yeah, but...*
**[08:17] Shoko**
*But when we found Genda-san,*
**[08:20] Shoko**
* Hishinuma-san and Mina put the bags*
* they were holding on top of the stove.*
**[08:26] Shoko**
*Why don't you check the bottoms of the bags?*
**[08:33] Takagi**
*There's nothing unusual about them.*
**[08:36] Shoko**
*Then nobody used that stove.*
**[08:40] Shoko**
*We were out shopping for about ten minutes.*
**[08:44] Shoko**
* If someone used the stove to boil water,*
* it would stay hot for about 15 minutes.*
**[08:48] Shoko**
*The bags should be burnt or melted.*
**[08:51] Sato**
*I see.*
**[08:52] Takagi**
*Then who bought this bread?*
**[08:55] Mina**
*I-I did.*
**[08:56] Mina**
*I'm really into that bakery's bread.*
**[09:00] Mina**
*The store's nearby, and I always bought some.*
**[09:03] Takagi**
* But you could buy bread*
* beforehand, couldn't you?*
**[09:06] Mina**
*I bought hot freshly baked bread.*
**[09:09] Hishinuma**
*They really were warm and tasty looking.*
**[09:12] Shoko**
* It's too bad they didn't have any*
* freshly fried curry bread, though.*
**[09:17] Mina**
* It's their most popular*
* item, so it was sold out.*
**[09:20] Sato**
* Well, there doesn't seem*
* to be a microwave here.*
**[09:24] Sato**
*It would be impossible to reheat bread.*
**[09:27] Sato**
*Uryu-san, what did you buy?*
**[09:30] Shoko**
*Right.*
**[09:32] Shoko**
*I bought ice cream.*
**[09:33] Shoko**
* They're from a shop that*
* opened around here recently.*
**[09:37] Shoko**
* Everyone said they loved them*
* after I bought some once.*
**[09:40] Takagi**
* But if you hid the ice*
* cream in the freezer...*
**[09:45] Hishinuma**
* Before we went shopping, we all checked*
* to see if we were out of anything.*
**[09:50] Hishinuma**
*There wasn't any ice cream then.*
**[09:52] Conan**
Our hint is the objects on the kitchen
counter that caught Haneda Meijin's attention.
**[09:58] Conan**
Two ice trays, a mixer, and a toaster.
**[10:02] Conan**
One of the three suspects could've used
one of those tools to fabricate an alibi.
**[10:08] Akai**
Oh?
**[10:09] Conan**
It's the mixer.
**[10:11] Akai**
The mixer?
**[10:13] Conan**
If you put room temperature water in
a mixer and mix it for five minutes,
**[10:18] Conan**
the kinetic energy from the friction
**[10:20] Conan**
generated by the water molecules
turns into thermal energy.
**[10:24] Conan**
Its temperature rises three
degrees to 42-3 degrees Celsius.
**[10:27] Conan**
If you put instant coffee in the hot
water, you can make lukewarm coffee.
**[10:35] Conan**
In other words, the culprit
pretended to go shopping
**[10:39] Conan**
and then claimed to have forgotten
something and returned to the room.
**[10:43] Conan**
They put water in the mixer,
and while it was mixing,
**[10:46] Conan**
they strangled the victim Genda
to death with an electrical cord.
**[10:51] Conan**
They placed the shogi board missing two legs
they'd hidden in the room next to the body,
**[10:57] Conan**
indicating that Genda was the second
victim of the serial murders.
**[11:02] Conan**
They poured the lukewarm
water heated using the mixer
**[11:05] Conan**
into cups they previously purchased
from the coffee shop and made coffee.
**[11:09] Conan**
They placed the coffees inside a coffee shop
bag and descended to the building entrance.
**[11:16] Conan**
Then he pretended the victim wouldn't
let him in after he went to buy coffee.
**[11:21] Conan**
That's right.
**[11:23] Conan**
Hishinuma Kosuke must be the culprit.
**[11:31] Hishinuma**
3-3 G.
**[11:34] Shukichi**
5-4 B drop.
**[11:47] Conan**
While Genda's death by strangulation
was being investigated,
**[11:52] Conan**
Kishimoto's house caught fire.
**[11:55] Conan**
A shogi board missing three legs
was placed next to the body
**[11:59] Conan**
to confuse the order in which
the murders took place.
**[12:03] Conan**
He killed Kishimoto before going
to the second crime scene,
**[12:06] Conan**
the Beika City apartment where
the study sessions were held.
**[12:11] Conan**
After killing him, he left the body in
a room with the AC set to 37 degrees.
**[12:17] Conan**
As long as he made sure
the house would catch fire
**[12:22] Conan**
automatically after Genda's
murder was discovered,
**[12:25] Conan**
a body with a relatively
high rectal temperature
**[12:28] Conan**
would be discovered in
the wreckage of the fire.
**[12:30] Conan**
Naturally, the body was burnt,
**[12:33] Conan**
which broadens the estimated time of death,
**[12:37] Conan**
but he could use the number
of legs on the shogi board
**[12:39] Conan**
to convince us that it happened
after the second murder.
**[12:43] Akai**
I see.
**[12:45] Akai**
In other words, by leaving a shogi board
missing one leg next to Nishikido,
**[12:50] Akai**
his first victim,
**[12:53] Akai**
he was laying the groundwork to make
it seem like he killed Kishimoto,
**[12:56] Akai**
his second victim, after
Genda, his third victim.
**[13:04] Conan**
Yeah.
**[13:06] Conan**
I see it.
**[13:07] Conan**
The GPS is pointing to that
building directly ahead of us.
**[13:11] Akai**
Yeah.
**[13:15] Conan**
The question is which room
is the Meijin being held in?
**[13:21] Akai**
He's probably playing blind
shogi in order to tell us that.
**[13:31] Shukichi**
*That's how my brother honks his horn.*
**[13:35] Shukichi**
*He must've come for me.*
**[13:37] Hishinuma**
What's the matter, Meijin?
**[13:39] Hishinuma**
Need some time to think?
**[13:42] Shukichi**
8-3 B promote.
**[13:45] Shukichi**
Oh, no! That was a bad move!
**[13:49] Shukichi**
* Now my jeweled general will be*
* taken by your incense chariot!*
**[13:55] Conan**
* An 8-3 B promote means an incense*
* chariot will take his king?*
**[14:00] Conan**
* 8-3 B is the square eighth from*
* the right and third from the top,*
**[14:07] Conan**
* which would be the eighth room from the*
* right on the third floor below the roof.*
**[14:12] Conan**
* And if his piece was promoted,*
* that means it was flipped.*
**[14:17] Conan**
* In other words, Taiko Meijin*
* is in the room in that location*
**[14:22] Conan**
*when the building is viewed from behind.*
**[14:24] Conan**
Akai-san.
**[14:26] Akai**
Impressive work, kid.
**[14:31] Hishinuma**
I knew Haneda Meijin wouldn't
make such a bad move.
**[14:37] Hishinuma**
You tricked me so you could tell
someone about this location.
**[14:42] Hishinuma**
If the police found the written confession
**[14:45] Hishinuma**
and you agreed not to tell anyone about me,
**[14:48] Hishinuma**
I planned to release you
and go into hiding, but...
**[14:52] Hishinuma**
It looks like I'll have to kill you!
**[14:58] Conan**
I knew it. He's being
held in the living room.
**[15:01] Conan**
In English, the incense chariot is
called the lance, or L for short.
***SIGN*** Incense Chariot
***SIGN*** Living Room (L)
**[15:04] Conan**
"Living room" starts with an L, too.
**[15:07] Conan**
But how can we rescue him?
**[15:11] Akai**
Kid.
**[15:13] Akai**
You see that clothesline pipe
on that apartment's balcony?
**[15:24] Conan**
Yeah. What about it?
**[15:27] Akai**
Could you use your ball to change its angle?
**[15:32] Conan**
It wouldn't be impossible.
**[15:34] Akai**
Then follow along with the
plan I'm about to describe.
**[15:43] Hishinuma**
Damn it. What are the police doing?
**[15:46] Shukichi**
Perhaps it's none of my business,
**[15:49] Shukichi**
but you should turn yourself in soon.
**[15:51] Shukichi**
It's not too late.
**[15:52] Hishinuma**
Shut up!
**[16:02] Conan**
Akai-san, I set my voice
changed to loudspeaker mode.
**[16:07] Conan**
Give the signal in 30 seconds.
**[16:11] Akai**
Roger that.
**[16:13] Hishinuma**
Wh-What just happened?
**[16:21] Hishinuma**
Where'd this ball come from?
**[16:23] Man**
*This is the MPD!*
**[16:26] Man**
*We're the Special Assault Team!*
**[16:29] Man**
* Hishinuma Kosuke, we're*
* watching your every move!*
**[16:34] Man**
*Discard your weapon and give yourself up!*
**[16:37] Hishinuma**
*Shut up!*
**[16:38] Hishinuma**
*Stay away from me!*
**[16:40] Hishinuma**
Or don't you care what happens to the Meijin?
**[16:44] Akai**
*I thought he might do that.*
**[16:46] Akai**
*In that case...*
**[17:02] Man**
*That was a warning shot!*
**[17:05] Man**
* A detached force is on*
* its way to your location.*
**[17:09] Man**
* Stay there and wait quietly*
* until they arrive.*
**[17:30] Conan**
*I somehow made it in time to tranquilize him.*
**[17:34] Shukichi**
Thanks for saving me, Conan-kun.
**[17:38] Conan**
It wasn't me. It was all Akai-san.
**[17:42] Shukichi**
I suppose so.
**[17:45] Conan**
Anyway...
**[17:48] Conan**
Why did the culprit Hishinuma-san stay
here instead of immediately running away?
**[17:53] Shukichi**
He was waiting for the police
to find the written confession.
**[17:59] Conan**
Written confession?
**[18:00] Shukichi**
Yeah, a letter confessing that those
four shogi players were cheating.
**[18:08] Conan**
Four shogi players?
**[18:10] Shukichi**
Nishikido Kimiharu,
**[18:13] Shukichi**
Genda Yasukiyo,
**[18:14] Shukichi**
Kishimoto Yuhei,
**[18:16] Shukichi**
and Uryu Kinji kept pens equipped with
miniature cameras in their pockets.
**[18:23] Shukichi**
They sent videos of their matches
to their accomplices' phones,
**[18:27] Shukichi**
who searched the web for expert moves.
**[18:31] Shukichi**
They won a bunch of games by
casually informing each other
**[18:34] Shukichi**
about the moves when they passed each
other in the bathroom or hallways.
**[18:39] Shukichi**
Nishikido ranked up without getting caught,
**[18:43] Shukichi**
but someone from the Shogi League warned Uryu
**[18:47] Shukichi**
that he was going to the
bathroom too many times.
**[18:51] Shukichi**
When he asked the others what he should do,
**[18:54] Shukichi**
they apparently responded coldly.
***SIGN*** Rule of Silence (kuchinashi no okite)
**[18:57] Shukichi**
They told him to follow the
rule of silence and die.
**[19:02] Conan**
The rule of silence?
**[19:04] Shukichi**
The legs of shogi boards are modeled
after gardenia (kuchinashi) fruit.
**[19:09] Shukichi**
It comes from the ban against speaking
during someone else's match (kuchi wo dasu).
**[19:13] Shukichi**
They made their own agreement
modeled after the gardenia.
**[19:19] Shukichi**
If any of them were in
danger of being exposed,
**[19:22] Shukichi**
he'd keep the group's secret and
protect the others by killing himself.
**[19:26] Shukichi**
Because of it, Uryu was
forced to commit suicide.
**[19:30] Shukichi**
He found his suicide suspicious,
**[19:32] Shukichi**
so he tracked down their cheating,
**[19:34] Shukichi**
and made his first victim Nishikido confess.
**[19:38] Shukichi**
In order to avenge his friend
Uryu, he killed the three of them
**[19:43] Shukichi**
and left shogi boards missing their
gardenias at the crime scenes.
**[19:49] Shukichi**
Before we began our blind shogi game,
**[19:52] Shukichi**
he actually told me to sit quietly and
listen so he could tell me why he did it.
**[19:59] Shukichi**
Nishikido in particular used
their cheating to fix matches.
**[20:04] Shukichi**
He called him a disgrace to shogi players.
**[20:07] Shukichi**
Well, the confession was
meant to frame Kishimoto,
**[20:11] Shukichi**
who was found dead in the burnt wreckage.
**[20:15] Shukichi**
It apparently said he killed the other two
**[20:19] Shukichi**
and himself in order to
atone for their cheating.
**[20:25] Conan**
But why haven't the police
found the confession?
**[20:31] Shukichi**
Because I got to it before them and took it.
**[20:34] Conan**
What?
**[20:36] Shukichi**
At the time, I knew Hishinuma was
responsible for the serial murders.
**[20:41] Shukichi**
Hishinuma might've burnt
down Kishimoto's house, too.
**[20:46] Shukichi**
If that were the case,
**[20:47] Shukichi**
I thought he might put a confession
in the apartment's mailbox
**[20:52] Shukichi**
so it would seem like Kishimoto
came to the apartment to kill Genda
**[20:57] Shukichi**
before setting fire to his
own home and killing himself.
***SIGN*** Confession
**[21:02] Conan**
*Come to think of it, Yumi-san said the Meijin*
**[21:06] Conan**
* went back inside while they*
* were leaving the building.*
**[21:11] Conan**
*That must be when he took the confession.*
**[21:15] Conan**
* In any case, I'd expect no less*
* from the great Taiko Meijin.*
**[22:45] Akai**
Ah, Camel?
**[22:47] Akai**
There's something I'd
like you to take care of
**[22:51] Akai**
while the police are escorting
the murderer to their car.
**[22:55] Akai**
Yeah.
**[22:55] Akai**
One broken glass window and
a bullet stuck in the wall.
**[23:00] Akai**
Yeah.
**[23:02] Akai**
Yeah, that's right.
**[23:03] Akai**
Thanks for taking care of this, Camel.
**[23:08] Shukichi**
Nii-san, I've got a question about Mom.
**[23:12] Shukichi**
What about Mom?
**[23:14] Shukichi**
She's refusing to meet my girlfriend.
**[23:18] Shukichi**
She won't even answer her phone.
**[23:21] Akai**
You haven't told her I'm alive, have you?
**[23:25] Shukichi**
No.
**[23:27] Akai**
Don't worry.
**[23:29] Akai**
You'll get to see Mom eventually.
**[23:35] Akai**
*Once their mist concealing the truth clears.*
