Chapter One.  Yumemita Atode (After the Dream)

          Long, long ago in a far away place, there was a Mouri Kingdom under the reign of King Kogoro.  He was not just a king, but he was also a detective.   He had helped a lot of people to solve mysteries, murders, etc.  Every one in Mouri Kingdom loved the King Kogoro.  There was also a Prince Shinichi, and he was a detective also.  Sometimes when King Kogoro was not available, people come to him instead.  He was very popular in Mouri Kingdom also.

            One day, some mysterious men in black robes come to see King Kogoro. 

"I am Gin and this is Vodka, my majesty.  I come here and bring this magic mirror to you."  One of the Men in Black said.  "This mirror can answer any questions you ask.   You can try it."

"Okay.  I try it."  King Kogoro said.  "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the Greatest Detective in the World?"

"It is King Kogoro in the Mouri Kingdom.  He is the Greatest Detective in the World."  The Mirror answered.

"HaHaHa!!!"  King Kogoro said, "This is definitely a magic mirror.  Okay!  Both of you can stay here as long as you like as our honour guests."

            Since the arrival of Gin and Vodka, King Kogoro was so occupied that he did not have any time to help other people to solve mysteries.  So they found Prince Shinichi instead.  With better detective skills than the King, Prince Shinichi was becoming more and more popular. 

            Under the influence of Gin and Vodka, King Kogoro started to become aware of Prince Shinichi's talent as being a better detective.  So he started to make the prince to do a lot of other hard work and would not have time to solve mysteries. 

            However, the worst thing had happened at last.  King Kogoro asked the mirror again, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the Greatest Detective in the World?"

"It is Prince Shinichi in the Mouri Kingdom.  He is the Greatest Detective in the World."  The Mirror answered.

"What?  It can't be Shinichi.  It must be me, King Kogoro!!!"  King Kogoro roared. 

"Be calm, my majesty."  Gin said.  "There is no need to be so angry.  You can still be the greatest detective in the world.  Leave this to me."

Due to the jealousy to Shinichi, the King let Gin do whatever he wanted as long as he could be the greatest detective. 

"Brother, what will we do to that little prince?"  Vodka said.  "And what do you want from this Kingdom?"

"Power."  Gin answered.  "Let leave the little prince to Sherry.  She knows what to do."

          One day, when Prince Shinichi had just finished all the hard work that the king asked him to finished by the evening, a girl with reddish brown hair come to ask for help.

"I had heard that you are a great detective and I come here to ask for help."   The girl told Prince Shinichi.  " Can you help me to find my sister?"

The girl already started sobbing before Prince Shinichi had answered. 

"Okay.  I will help you but could you please stop crying and tell me what had happened to your sister.  And what is your name?"

"Shiho.  My name is Shiho.  My sister had been missing for almost a week.  She told me she need to go to the Forbidden Forest on that day." 

"I see.  Maybe we should go there to look for any hints."

"Yes.  That's a good idea."  Shiho smiled slyly.

Forbidden Forest was the most dangerous place in the Kingdom.  People would get lost easily in the forest.  No one dare to go inside.  There were also rumours there were dangerous animals living there.  Strange sounds could be heard in midnight.  

            Once they were in the Forbidden Forest, Shiho noticed something on the ground. 

"Prince Shinichi, you look there."  Shiho pointed on necklace.  "That is the necklace my sister always wear."

Prince Shinichi immediately went and examined the necklace.  He started to look around for more hints and all of a sudden he saw Shiho with a baseball bat in her hand and hit him hard on his head.  Blood were coming out from his head and he could see Shiho was taking something out.

"Take this capsule."  Shiho was forcing Prince Shinichi to take the capsule with water.  "Don't blame me.  This is just the result that you don't help my sister.  Moreover, I can't betray Gin."

Prince Shinichi didn't know what happened in the next few hours.  His body was becoming very hot and it was like melting. 

After the dusk had come, Prince Shinichi finally waked up. 

"What happened?"  Prince Shinichi was surprised that he was speaking in a rather childish voice.  What surprised the Prince more was that he was a child of about six or seven years old!!
