Twenty years later, ~~his~~ son, who had become a Tojiri police officer to investigate his father's death, caught Numabuchi, who blabbered out a confession. Since his father's death case was long since time-barred, he decided to murder all those responsible, keeping Numabuchi for last in order to put the blame on him.

	Several months later, Numabuchi was escorted into Nakanojō forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there.

There he met [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya\|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies in order to rejoice his friends [[Ai Haibara\|Haibara]] and [[Ayumi Yoshida\|Ayumi]]. Instead of doing him any harm, however, Numabuchi carried Mitsuhiko back to the search parties and had himself arrested without putting up any resistance.<ref>Manga volume 35, file 358-360; anime episode 289-290.</ref>		Several months later, Numabuchi was escorted into Nakanojō forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there.

The [[Detective Boys]], who followed Mitsuhiko's trail, arrive and join forces with Yamamura to reunite with Mitsuhiko and capture Numabuchi. While on the search, Haibara informs Conan that the organization originally hired him to be one of their assassins. However, due to his unstable mental state, he was transferred to Haibara's division, where he was to be a test subject for the APTX 4869. He later escaped from the organization and proceeded to commit various crimes. He eventually finds Mitsuhiko, but safely returns him to his friends before he is compliantly arrested by the authorities. Conan states that he likely lied about his fourth victim and instead wanted to come to the mountain, a place of his childhood, so that he could see the fireflies one last time before his eventual execution.
