He confesses and says he got trapped in the store after closing hours after having been fired. With no way to sustain himself, he decided to stake out the store for food and other daily necessities though he genuinely regretted getting Aya involved and refrained from stealing for a week as well as taking only near expiration bentos to eat.

Part 1

Jodie is planning to leave, and Ran and Sonoko, stunned by the news, decide to throw her a going away party. They go into the store and find young woman named Aya being accused of shoplifting by her boss. They manage to come up with three possible suspects. Ran attempts to call Shinichi or Conan for help, since both are better at solving mysteries, but surprisingly, Jodie stops her and tells her to use her own deduction.

    Manga to anime changes

    • The anime failed to draw the irregular borders of Jodie's pictures correctly for a second time after the first omission in English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective. This time, Araide's face was hidden completely under other pictures, making this clue, once again, useless.

    Trivia

    • This is the second case to meet a former classmate or schoolmate of Shinichi, Ran, and Sonoko. The first one was Asami Uchida, from middle school, who is now in college in The Memories of First Love Case, however in this case it is Aya Nanakawa, who is also from middle school.
    • Professor Agasa drinks from a white coffee cup with an H on it.
    • This is the second case that Ran solved the crime. The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation was the first.
