Sonoko is quick to come to the defense of her friend (and former classmate), and the manager explains that he was initially unwilling to believe that Aya was the culprit either, but a series of events, including that the loss of goods only happened on days when Aya was on watch, that surveillance cameras failed to reveal wrongdoing by any customer and that theft happened even when nobody but Aya came and left the store, forced him to come to his present conclusion. Sonoko and Ran intervene and try to soothe an upset and crying Aya while the store manager tells them that he suspects Aya of being a thief. When they arrive at the store, they see a furious store manager shouting at Aya and threatening to replace her with someone else. The other two agree to this idea, and thus they head to the convenience store where one of Ran and Sonoko’s friend (called Aya Nanakawa) currently works to buy drinks and desserts. This comment gets Jodie thinking, while Sonoko changes the subject and proposes that they go to Jodie’s apartment for a farewell party. Ran mentions that he has been staying at Agasa’s lately because he wants to take care of Haibara, whom Conan believes is sick because of him, until she recovers completely. This embarrasses Ran significantly, and she tries to downplay her previous comments by retorting that what she meant was that Shinichi is a stubborn and overly persistent person.Īt this point, Jodie joins in the conversation and comments that she sees Conan as a stubborn person as well. Sonoko, apparently noticing Ran’s blushing face, picks up where Ran leaves off and says as if she were a fangirl “Oh! That is what I love about him, let us kiss!”. Ran puts up some mild objection about the usage of “wife”, and says with a reddened face that Shinichi will not come back before solving the case, as he is not someone who gives up easily and will try everything within his capabilities to finish what he has started. Sonoko comments that there is nothing to regret about, as, in her opinion, a person who focuses so much on some boring case that he leaves “his wife” behind cannot appreciate the novel teaching methods of Jodie anyway. Ran, seeing that there is no way to make Jodie divulge information, switches the topic by saying that, regretfully, she has never been able to teach Shinichi. The girls, bewildered by what she has said, demands elaboration, but Jodie replies that what they are talking about is a secret, and that “a secret makes a woman woman”. Jodie tells them that the “family issue” explanation is not true and that the real reason behind her departure is that she has found a long-sought and very important treasure map. After school, Ran and Sonoko catch up with Jodie and ask her to give them a more detailed explanation of her sudden resignation (what she told the class was that there were “family issues” that she had to attend to).

In the next scene, Jodie is seen telling her students that she is going to resign, much to their surprise and disappointment.

Jodie says that they are all good students and misleadingly attributes her apparent tiredness to being saddened by the fact that she has to leave them. The woman put her index finger on her lips and was about to respond when Jodie’s recollection is abruptly terminated by a fellow staff member, who calls her name several times and asks in a caring manner whether she is tired and whether her students have been causing her headaches. Jodie entered the room where the man and the unknown woman (who was completely in black) were and asked innocently “who are you?”. She sits with her eyes closed as she recalls that many years ago, when she was still a little child, on a rainy day, a stranger broke into her house and tried to take a pair of glasses that apparently belonged to the man lying (unconscious or dead?) next to it. Jodie is resting in Teitan High School’s staff office. Anime Episode 343-344: The Convenience Store Trap File 426 - Goodbye Jodie
