Episode 786: Taiko Meijin's Match of Love (Part 2)
Scenario: Shukichi and the Detective Boys continue to search for clues about the whereabouts of kidnapped Yumi. Shukichi's time is limited as he needs to go back for his Shogi tournament.
Conan, Shukichi, Professor Agasa, Haibara, and the Detective Boys arrive at Yureizaka and are heading towards a graveyard in the middle of that slope. The "seven" and "three" on the incense chariot piece refer to Kiyomasa's Seven Spears and the Three Great Spears of Japan. The overlapping region between the two spears represents Masanori Fukushima, a person of the Seven Spears who owns Hinomotogo, one of the Three Great Spears. The upside-down T is the cartographic symbol for graveyards.
When asked by Professor Agasa who the kidnapper may be, Shukichi thinks back to a shogi match he played against the very same culprit. That incident was the culprit's motive for kidnapping Yumi.
Conan and the others arrive at Fukushima's grave to search for more clues to the kidnapper. Genta and Mitsuhiko peek behind the grave to see a shogi board hidden there.
Meanwhile, Masumi Sera finishes her shower and sees the unknown child sleeping. She notices the remote on the bed and turns on the TV, which displayed Shukichi's shogi match.
On the board Genta found, there are shogi pieces stuck on it. A rook is stacked on top of the bishop, and a nail pierces through those two pieces. There is also a gold general stacked over a silver general. The board has two bishops but one for every other piece. On a side of the bishop piece that us under the rook, the word "show-off" is etched in. "Lazy" is written on a side of the gold general piece. At this point, there are two and a half hours remaining, but Shukichi is not going back to the shogi match until he saves Yumi from the kidnapper. After some time, Conan and Shukichi figure out the meaning of the shogi board and deduce Yumi is held captive in Haido City. The shogi pieces refer to the Seven Deadly Sins, which originally were the eight sins of gluttony, lust, greed, sorrow, wrath, sloth, vanity, and pride. Later, vanity merged with pride, sorrow merged with sloth, and envy was added, forming the modern seven sins.
The bishop with "show-off" written on it represents vanity, the other bishop represents envy, the gold general labeled "lazy" represents sloth, and the rook represents pride. The nail indicates where Yumi is at, and since it is pierced through the rook, the name of that place must contain the word "pride"; the only place nearby would be Hotel Hyde Pride.
Conan and the group arrive at that hotel, where they are escorted to the kidnapper's room.
