Conan realizes Chiba was prone to sweaty hands and reveals Naeko wrote on the side the tape with red permanent markers which reveal she reciprocated Chiba's feelings. Chiba attends the school reunion only to find out Naeko did not attend. Unbeknownst to him, he passes Naeko in an officer uniform. Naeko reveals to her partner she recently transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in order to get closer to Chiba but is saddened he was unable to recognize her.
