In the conclusion of the Dark Contact Case, Conan must stop the jewel robbers and manage to confront Vodka. He is about to do this, however, an unexpected person interferes with the meeting, Gin! Catching on to the plot, he and Vodka leave in a hurry, but not before searching for the man who tried to ambush them. Conan hides in a small locker which keeps Gin from looking (saying an adult would never fit in there, indicating that he and Vodka are unaware that Conan is the one who set them up). They leave, and Ai finds Conan. Conan once again sees Shuuichi, who quickly vanishes.
