Although Maki resented her at first for being weak-willed and wanting to die (unlike her daughter who fought her illness to her very last breath) and thought of killing Kaho herself, she had a change of heart and decided to protect Kaho. Being an ex-swimmer, Maki disguised herself as Kaho and pretended to commit suicide by jumping off the bridge during the time Tetsuya Ushio would be in the area. Conan realized that Kaho is still alive due to the following reasons: the shoelaces were tied differently, Maki was buying contact lens despite having no vision problem along with two lunch boxes, and the woman who jumped off the bridge in the video was wearing a jewelry despite Kaho herself being allergic to metal accessories; with the last one used as an evidence that Naruse was pretending to be her boyfriend as he didn't know about her condition. Additionally, although Naruse cut and dyed his hair to differentiated himself from the wanted poster, the tattoos on both of his arm is the decisive evidence that he is the prime suspect from the murder case four months ago.
