And they found the sign of the woodpecker called Bishamonten, and they found a letter X on the head. Yamato said it was no ordinary X, or look like a woodpecker's foot. And then they meet Hyoue Kuroda, the superintendent. Conan was shocked when he see him. Haibara said that "Rum" was losing his one eye.

The three policemen thought that they would meet at Hachiman Shrine. And then they heard a body who was found at the river. Uehara Yui said that it was called "Wooodpecker Society". Apparently in Nagano, there's a group named "Woodpecker Society".

And then, message was found on Yamato's cellphone from Kano Shoji, typing "I am Bishamonten. The God of War who will destroy the woodpecker. Morofushi said that the cause of death was strangulation, said that he died half an hour ago. Kano's cellphone had a message saying "Only three woodpeckers remain." And the head of the body has the woodpeckers foot or X. Morofushi said that "there's a witness claiming they saw you at the bridge." Yamato said that he never been there.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
The culprit is '''Shinsuke Akiyama'''. He faked his own death using Inspector Takeda's lifeless body (whom he first strangled, then he decapitated) as a decoy, and was aiming to kill Inspectors Saegusa and Yamato too. His motive is that years ago, Inspector Yamato and his companions's mistakes led to a serial killer terrorizing Nagano before being shot dead, and one of his victims was Detective Akiyama's beloved middle school-aged sister, Tsuyako Aburakawa, who was his only relative. His chosen name [[wikipedia:Vaiśravaṇa#In Japan|Bishamonten]] was his selfperception as a punisher of evildoers.

The Takeda Squad was not accidentally formed by individuals who bore names similar to some of the famous generals of Takeda Shingen. In fact, as Conan, Inspectors Yamato and Morufushi have found out, the Takeda Squad formed the notorious Woodpecker Society; the "X" imprint left on the victims' bodies pointed to the letter X being the 24th letter of the Western alphabet, corresponding to [[wikipedia:Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen|Takeda Shingen's 24 Generals]]. In order to complete this inner circle, they were looking for new members; hence they also attempted to recruit Inspector Yamato, whose name as akin to Shingen's general [[wikipedia:Yamamoto Kansuke (general)|Yamamoto Kansuke]]. The reason why Detective Akiyama targeted the Takeda Squad for extermination was that the Squad/Society members seized and sold confiscated guns to criminal elements in order to line their pockets, and it was one of these guns which killed Tsuyako. Detective Akiyama targeted Inspector Yamato because it was his drug-addicted friend who fired the fatal shot.
