In a case, along with other officers, he had to save Conan from a murder suspect who kidnapped a girl at Haido's shipping mall and attempted to escape. As a result Conan successfully rescued the girl and was taken hostage as a substitute. As Megure orders, the hostage's life is their priority.[4] In a kidnapping case, ready to carry out the plan to catch the kidnapper, he is dressed in a Cheetah Delivery uniform.[5] In another same case, ready to carry out the plan to catch the kidnapper, he and a female officer are dressed as a married couple with a baby.
