	[[Sonoko Suzuki\|Sonoko]] disturbs a hospital wing with her blaring surprise about [[Jodie Starling\|Jodie]]'s [[FBI]] affiliations. The supposed English Teacher claims she was placed on a temporary leave of absence to Japan after failing to detain a notorious criminal in the United States. Her position as a school instructor was thus a side-activity she took to fulfill her life-long dream. Ultimately, her superiors are calling her home, which is why she drove to Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa\|Agasa]]'s house to say her goodbyes to [[Conan Edogawa\|Conan]]. Coincidentally, she had stumbled across an active kidnapping featuring an [[Calvados\|armed man]] throwing Conan and [[Ai Haibara\|Haibara]] into his car. Following the abductor's car to the port, Jodie found herself in a shootout using a gun she stole from the kidnapper, only having been saved because [[Ran Mouri\|Ran]] appeared from her trunk, protected Haibara, and called the police.<ref name="Halloween_Party_Case">Halloween Party Case (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case\|Volume 42: 429-434]])</ref> Sonoko is caught off guard by Ran's involvement in the incident.

Jodie waves off the unsettling hidden photos as the result of a cultural misunderstanding, stating they were originally used to decorate her living room with photos of her friends, but were stored away after she was informed such practices are uncommon in Japan. Her claim is further corroborated by Ran's memory of the various [[Wikipedia: Broadway Theatre\|Broadway]] actresses pasting photographs of their loved ones on their dressing room mirrors.<ref name="Golden_Apple_Case">Golden Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume_35#Golden_Apple_Case\|Volume 35: 350-354]])</ref> Nevertheless, Ran sincerely expresses her relief in Jodie's good character.<br>		[[Sonoko Suzuki\|Sonoko]] disturbs a hospital wing with her blaring surprise about [[Jodie Starling\|Jodie]]'s [[FBI]] affiliations.

Conan replies that he has, explaining that after learning about Dejima's stipulations about being stingy toilet water, he deduced that Akemi had attached something to toilet's ballcock valve which had hampered the ~~toilets~~ functions and raised the water bill. The object attached to the valve at the time were likely the ~~employee~~'s tools. After hearing Imai was "tired," Akemi hiding the tools was her way of forcing him to take a break from work. Years later when Akemi returned to use the bathroom, she replaced the tools with a different object, which, Conan had successfully retrieved, revealing it to be a set of twenty cassette tapes. Conan suspects the tapes contain vital information about the [[Black Organization]], causing Haibara to object to him listening to them as it would further endanger him.

	Meanwhile, Yukiko thinks about what Conan told her before the mission. He believes Vermouth refuses to harm him partly because of her connection with Yukiko. As Sharon Vineyard, she would be familiar with young Shinichi's face from the times Yukiko would show her his childhood photo albums. Therefore, she likely recognized Conan as Shinichi and chose to keep her friend's son away from harm. Yukiko hopes that is true. <br>		Meanwhile, Yukiko thinks about what Conan told her before the mission. He believes Vermouth refuses to harm him partly because of her connection with Yukiko.

	[[Sonoko Suzuki\|Sonoko]] disturbs a hospital wing with her blaring surprise about [[Jodie Starling\|Jodie]]'s [[FBI]] affiliations. The supposed English Teacher claims she was placed on a temporary leave of absence to Japan after failing to detain a notorious criminal in the United States. Her position as a school instructor was thus a side-activity she took to fulfill her life-long dream. Ultimately, her superiors are calling her home, which is why she drove to Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa\|Agasa]]'s house to say her goodbyes to [[Conan Edogawa\|Conan]]. Coincidentally, she had stumbled across an active kidnapping featuring an [[Calvados\|armed man]] throwing Conan and [[Ai Haibara\|Haibara]] into his car.

	Once she finishes, Shinichi bursts out in laughter, not because of any apparent flaw, but because he finds amusement in the notion that Ran remains hesitant to share her deduction despite its good quality. He adds that detectives are mortal, and always carry a pinch of anxiety with them when presenting their theories, worrying about having neglected some small but crucial detail. He proceeds to say that this element of unknown is what doubles a detective's satisfaction upon hitting the target. Therefore, he withholds comment on Ran's deduction so as to not deprive her of this supreme catharsis. Ran, inspired by Shinichi's words, quickly comes up with a plan.

She calmly exits the bathroom and signals him to remain quiet. A few moments later, the bathroom door is violently flung open and a man rushes outside. '''The Office Worker''' finds himself at the entrance to the storage room, staring out at a confused group of shoppers.<br>
	Ran declares the office worker to be the culprit, stating that he managed to avoid detection because he has been living in the space above the bathroom ceiling. He has been surviving off of the food he stole from the convenience store, taking roughly three days worth of food each trip—perfectly lining up with Aya's shift. Additionally, he was able to purchase sanitation goods with the money he made off of selling the stole game softwares and DVDs. Furthermore, he used the stolen batteries to power a flashlight, which is needed for searching for food and other basic necessities in the lightless, closed store during the night. Sonoko asks how no one noticed him enter the bathroom without ever exiting. Ran answers that he let others cut in the line leading to the bathroom, ensuring he is always the last person to enter it. Finally, he only steals after Aya's shift because she was the only worker who would neatly order the boxes before the morning shift, clearing a path from the bathroom to the store. Sonoko questions the last portion of the deduction, arguing that the office worker can simply push any blockage away. Ran admits she is stumped, unable to fully explain that action. Fortunately, Shinichi steps in over the phone, explaining that the office worker does not dare to move any obstructing boxes because he fears that the movements, however slight, will be noticed by store employees, who will then infer that something is wrong with the bathroom, exposing his hiding spot. <br>		Ran declares the office worker to be the culprit, stating that he managed to avoid detection because he has been living in the space above the bathroom ceiling.

	The store manager accepts all of Ran’s explanations, but still questions why there was a prolonged period of time where the office worker refrained from stealing after Aya was reprimanded. Ran asserts that the office worker is not truly a bad person. He overheard Aya's rebuking and realized that his actions were hurting an innocent other, thus stopped for some time. Moreover, the stolen box lunches were invariably those which were nearing their expiration date. The office worker had chosen them to minimize financial damage to the store. <br>[[File:CH428_Apology.png\|thumb\|left\|~~200px~~\|Aya receives a much deserved apology.]]		The store manager accepts all of Ran’s explanations, but still questions why there was a prolonged period of time where the office worker refrained from stealing after Aya was reprimanded.

	With the deduction complete the office worker admits to his guilt. He kneels down to asks for forgiveness, recounting that three months ago, he lost his job and was evicted from his apartment. He found the bathroom ceiling as a place of refuge, believing that stealing such a small amount would not cause problems for the store. Upon hearing this, the manager barks out, telling the office worker that contrary to his belief, the store has suffered terrible losses. He then insists on being compensated by working at his convenience store—with no salary for the first few months. The manager comforts the office worker by saying that his troubles and feelings are relatable, having opened the store after being fired from his company job. Ran and Sonoko interrupt this warm moment and demand that both parties apologize immediately to Aya. They comply with this demand without any grudge.
