It seems that if you fold the piece of paper Genta found in the trash to create an origami crane bird, it'll reveal on the feathers something like 'square root of 5'. Now, there's a Japanese sentence to remember an approximation of that value which goes 富士山麓オウム鳴く (A parrot sings at the foot of Mount Fuji.) which sounds like the combination of numbers 22360679. The approximation for the value is 2.2360679. '22360679' consists of eight digits, so it's exactly as many as we need for the password.
It's noteworthy that Hideyoshi - a historical figure that Shuukichi's name is based on - and a woman called Chacha - which is the nickname the manager has for Yumi in this chapter - named their first child 鶴松 (Tsurumatsu). 鶴 is the kanji for 'crane'. Hideyoshi is also a connected to the mnemonic as he built a castle close to the foot of Mount Fuji.
Full disclosure: I have tried to fold this crane to see in what way the square root is gonna show itself on the feather, or if at all, and I have not been able to reproduce this. I have no idea how this is supposed to work.
I don't if this will turn out to be true, but it's sounds pretty great.

Props to these bloggers, right or not.

I'm REALLY Impressed, that makes perfect sense! it looks like it could really be the truth!
DC's Awesome Qoutes:
Spoiler:
Bourbon:''A child's curiosity and a detective's spirit of inquiry do have much in common''
Vermouth:''A secret makes a woman, woman''
Mary/Gin:''It's like encountering a demon in the darkness...''
Akai Shuichi:''Fear of death is worse than death itself''
Shinichi Kudo:''following the smell of blood to arrive upon a crime scene, using every one of your senses to hunt the culprit, then once you've seized hold of him, sinking your sharp teeth(your evidence) until your opponent gives up the ghost, That's a detective''
So in the first image, it definitely looks like the name Akai could be written in the parents slot
however in the second image, there are two Haneda names, who could they be ?
IS THIS BIG ENOUGH??
I hope that I can find someway to contribute to the community even if it's just random crack theories and looking things up for people who can't find the information they need.
Conan and the group can't figure out the code's trick so they try to place it on the shogi board and cover parts of it with the pieces (my comment: maybe they think that by covering part of the numbers they'll get the 8 numbers they need?)
Shuukichi is feeling doubtful because the reply he expects isn't coming but he keeps his resolution of getting the 7 crowns and waits for the reply as he carries out the game.
Yumi keeps searching her place and talks with Sato about some episode of the past: Shuukichi was nervous because he couldn't find the folding fan and, even though it was pretty hidden, it wasn't hard to find it so Shuukichi said something about bamboo and something like you can only see a piece of it (his words seem to be based on words by a famed Shogi player named Sakata Miyoshi).
She started calling him "Chuukichi" seeing how he never got his hands dirty and was always eating cheese: he got hooked when she taught him about a very irresistible short cake (looks like he also ate cakes when his matches when he began to get the titles): she also talks about that time when they brought him back to the hotel in the patrol car and kissed him because he'd lost his amulet (the hotel was where the match was being held and he managed to get back in time before the waiting time ran out). [File 899-902].
The DBs, on the other hand, have given up on the code for now and are playing with the shogi board: Conan asks the manager if he can turn on the heater because the room's gotten cold but he says it's broken despite that, when they got there, the room was warm: Yumi has also begun to think that the manager didn't think of that code but he copied it from somewhere else.
Conan had taken a photo of it and hadn't investigated any further so he'd lowered the guard but he finds it suspcious that there isn't a copy machine and the paper's square as well. Ayumi's bulging eyes have worsened and Mitsuhiko gets comforted by talking about "life's ups and downs". Conan guesses from his words that the paper's an origami and discovers certain katakana (Katakana: one of the Japanese alphabets, used mainly for foreign words). Those aren't the password's digits but any normal adult would understand what they mean.
"What's more... The code isn't only what we've been shown... It's become a married couple?" or so Conan inwardly thinks.

Those'll be important, come next file—it looks, though, that there's nothing like the name "Akai" possibly appearing on the marriage registration forms.

What Yumi can't quite remember Shuukichi saying after finding the folding fan seems to be this quote from Sakata Sankichi:
思案はタケノコみたいなもので、大部分は土の中に埋もれている。 ("A thought is like a bamboo shoot, most of it is buried in the ground.")
It may be based on this historical figure that Shuukichi's name has a slightly different variant of 吉 in his name, rather than the one from from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's name (豊臣秀吉). It seems that Sankichi (三吉) was sometimes written with the regular 吉 and sometimes with the slight difference that also occurs in Shuukichi's name.
I'd have put the variation in the message as well, but the forum won't let me. Basically, the normal 吉, as you can see, consists of those components: 士 on top of 口. The variant is 土 on top of 口. It's really just that small of a difference.

Oh, so it's right? In this series it's so unusual to get confirmation on a theory within the hour.

One thing on the marriage registration really troubled me that the box for 筆頭者の氏名 (name of the householder) was filled by some katakana-like letters.
As far as I know, in Japan the koseki ( household) is based on family unit and everyone on a koseki must have the same last name, unless the family member is non-Japanese and doesn't hold a Japanese koseki (Children and parents may have different last names if they belong to different koseki). Then Shuukichi, a probable Japanese should have the same family name with the head of his koseki. I can't find any case in which two family names appear in one koseki.

It also says they were not able to reproduce it. In short, that solution has not been verified yet.
