After police officers Osamu Narasawa and Yoichiro Shiba were murdered, the wedding ceremony of Sara Shiratori and Kotaro Haretsuki takes place a little later on which many police officers are present, including him. When his son shows up, he makes clear to him that he is unwanted, whereupon he leaves the celebration. After Sato is shot in the bathroom, he orders an ambulance to call and block all exits. He also causes every person, including him and all police members, to check for powder residues. His doubts are often in synchrony with Conan's and, realizing that he also suspects him, secretly follows him during his investigation and discovers the truth. When the perpetrator is known to be the psychiatrist Kyosuke Kazato and convicted by Conan and Ran in Tropical Land, all the police officers go there. Shortly after the arrest, he has his son interrogated, as he rolls up an old case and therefore knows the murderer of the police. He learns that his son was involved in a blackmail case. Finally, he thanks and salutes Conan, because he first finds out the truth. When he asks who he is, before replying that he's just an elementary school student, Conan uses a typical police phrase to hide information: "Need not to know". He leaves the credit to Kogoro.

During it, the perpetrators with the name "Red Siamese Cats" commit to this offense and simultaneously pronounce another threat. A week later, through Nakamori who is on the airship of Jirokichi Suzuki, thanks to whom he had crushed them ten years ago, he can learn that the gang is on the ship and threatens with bacteria and bombs, which irritates him. He instructs to observe the ship from a safe distance while he informs the police in Osaka and the surrounding area. Together with Heizo Hattori, he advises whether the Bell Tree Tower, the symbol of the Suzuki Group, could be the target. Informed by Megure in his office, he has the same Conan's doubt about the modus operandi and the Uno's version doesn't convince him.

He presides with Megure, Shiratori, and Kogoro the press conference about the attempt murder of Yuichiro Asakura, the Tokyo governor, thwarted by Conan leaving the credit to Kogoro.
