Situation

Part 1

Shukichi Haneda is at Tokiwa Hot Springs, preparing for his shogi match for the title of Meijin. As he was talking to two women, a picture of Yumi Miyamoto fell out of his robe. When he picked up the photo, he thought back to two days ago, when Yumi told him she already through away the envelope he asked her to not open until he obtains all seven because he never called her ever since he gave it to her. After that small conversation, she stormed out of the cafe, where they were talking; when he came out, she was nowhere to be seen. As he tries to find her, a stranger watches him in a car, carrying an evil smile.

Meanwhile, Professor Agasa, Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys are visiting power spots via Agasa's car. On the way, Masumi Sera calls Conan and tells him she moved to Hotel Hyde Pride, which is close to Mouri Detective Agency.

As Shukichi heads his way toward today's game, one of the women he talked to earlier gave him a letter a strange man delivered yesterday morning. It was written by Yumi, but when he opened it....

In the middle of his match against Chikara Katsumata, Shukichi left abruptly and took a car ride to Tokyo. It turns out the letter stated that Yumi was kidnapped, and to save her, he must decipher the kidnapper, the Headless Shogi Player's, game record within a limited amount of time. It also told him to not to tell anyone, not even the police. He has less than six hours to crack the code and save her.

After arriving in Tokyo, Shukichi coincidentally meets up with Conan and the others. After Conan smartly separates him from everyone else, he secretly tells them, upon Conan's request, why he came here. With less than four hours remaining, Conan, Shukichi, Professor Agasa, Haibara, and the Detective Boys set off to solve the game records and save Yumi from the kidnapper.
