That night at Raiha Pass, Shuichi Akai received a shot on his lung from the Black Organization member, Kir. She was ordered by Gin once more to shot Akai, this time in the head, to make sure he was dead. Kir walk closer to wounded Akai and pointed her gun straight to his head. Akai remarks that he never thought that it will end this way, with Kir agreed, before finally pull the trigger and shot one more bullet to his head, thus killing him.

He also added that today is Friday 13th, and decided to go home and sleep. As he walk away this remind Jodie with Akai's word to her before she go to the New Beika Hotel...

Back at the hospital, Jodie shocked after James tells her that Akai are depart to Raiha Pass to meet Kir. James then assured her that he'll be okay, but one of the agent tell James and Jodie that earlier, an exploded truck is found at Raiha Pass with a body inside it. They found it right after watch the latest news in the television. Jodie said that the body may not Akai. As the right hand is not burned, James told Jodie to check if the fingerprints match with Akai's. She then remember that Akai held Conan's cellphone before. As his cellphone now in her possession, Jodie and James then immediately go to the police department. James also remind Jodie to make sure that the police didn't know about Akai's involvement with FBI. Jodie then give Conan's cellphone to Inspector Takagi with Akai's fingerprints on it, then made up a story about her encounter with him. To the shock of Jodie, the body is truly Shuichi Akai. Takagi also comment that the body is full of mysteries. Jodie then walked back to her car, where she cried over Akai's death. James, at the backseat, comment that now, they have planted a wedge in the Organization. A wedge of steel that will never taken off... although it costs too much. Vermouth, passing by in a motorbike, comment that she didn't need two silver bullets; one is enough.

Next day, Jodie return the cellphone to Conan. However, it's a switched phone, as Conan's original cellphone is still needed for the investigation. Conan checked the serial number of his cellphone, and realised it was switched, but didn't say anything.
