When the ball kicked hit the bronze statue, causing the dagger to be discharged, he came lecture the boy to stop kicking the ball around in here. Hideki then picked the dagger up and returned it to the bronze statue's hand, so later Yusaku Kudo uses it as evidence against Thomas Schindler, who had murdered his college friend Tadaaki Kashimura, the one in charge of game's development. As his paternal grandfather, he loves Hideki more than anything else in the world and told him much about the police, then he is disappointed when the artificial brain Noah's Ark start to toy with his life. Fortunately, to his great relief, including Hideki and Conan, there are only two left at the game's end, so his grandson's life was saved and he is very proud of him.
