(Am I still weak?)
("Whenever you get in a rush, unless you calm down and act rationally, you'll never be a top class detective! Calmness, composure and diligence! That's your beloved Holmes, right?")
Those words that professor said still rings inside my head just as I remember what just happened today… Masami Hirota was murdered, although the police say that it was suicide because the fired gun has only her fingerprints on it; but I knew the truth, and this time it was a truth which hurts. She was murdered by the same organization she once belonged, and thus, the one which made of me: Kudo Shinichi the person I am now, the Shrunken Detective: Edogawa Conan.
-"Ran-neechan! Hurry up and call an ambulance, and then everyone else!"- Conan said as he tried to stop the bleeding from Masami-san. Thus, she ran out to call the ambulance and her father to come here.
-"It won't do any good…"- Masami-san said as she was trying to get up –"It's too late for me…"-
-"Don't speak!"- Said Conan –"If you say anything your wounds will…!"- For the first time, the High School Detective was feeling something that he might have never felt before… it was fear. Fear of seeing his very own hands covered in the blood of someone who was already a goner, someone he wasn't able to save, even if he already solved the case again…
He'd always love to solve crimes and murders, but this time, he got to experience the real thing; and right now, he was watching it on live, someone dying…
-"You're… that boy…. The kid from the detective agency, right…?"- She cannot stop coughing blood as she was speaking –"How did you know I was here?"-
He knew what to say, he won't hide anything –"The transmitter…"- Masami-san expression changed as he was explaining everything. –"When we first met at the agency, I accidentally stuck it at your watch."- He said –"I got to the hotel by following it, and we ran across you there…"-
He kept explaining the case all over –"I saw you carrying those big cases, and I knew it then, you are the culprit from the "1 Billion Yen Robbery Case" …"-
Her expression was not only shocked, but amused by the fact that a 6 year old child had solved it all –"Who… who are you?"-
-"Edogawa… No… (No, its okay now, isn't it… At least I want someone to remember me as my real self, even after death…) Kudo Shinichi, the Detective!
! (Kudo Shinichi… the High School Detective!?)
*Flashback*
-"I wish I could take you out of the organization, you know, Shiho?"- Said Masami, no, Miyano Akemi, to her little sister, an auburn haired girl whom was 18 years old and was now working as a scientist for the Black Organization.
-"Onee-san?"- Shiho, the little sister, said.
-"It's just that it's not fair! You got stocked with our parents' research, and because of that you're always into work! Do you even have a time to rest?"-
-"It's not like I am complaining… but I have to confess that there are times when I feel like running away with you…"- And as she said that in a very melancholic tone, Shiho pressed her fist very firmly in front of the chest pocket of her lab coat; but Akemi got a glimpse of what is inside of it
-"Hmmm, what is it that you have in there, sis?"- Akemi said as she, fast enough, got to take away the paper that Akemi was holding inside her chest pocket
-"W-Wait! Onee-san!"- But it was too late
It was a newspaper, a specified article was written there:
"His name: Kudo Shinichi!" That's what the tittle of the article says, also: "High School Student Detective Solves Another Case!"
"Once again, the 17 years old, Kudo Shinichi, gets to solve another case! This time: a murder. As the case progressed, he got to know about the modus operandi of the culprit: Since he was the owner of the building where the party was being held, he knew about the short distance between the windows of the room where the victim, Yamazaki-san, was before being killed, and the roof which is accessible from the other room. And to hide suspicion, the owner and culprit hide himself behind a supposed injure on his right leg, which was healed months ago. But the young hero of the Metropolitan Police Forces saw through it, and brought along justice and truth! Just as he says: "Only one Truth prevails!""
-"Ohhhhh, I never knew you were into younger boys! And you're after this guy! Shiho I'm jealous!"- Said Akemi while embracing her sister so excited and happy about her sister.
-"I-It's not like that!"- Shiho said, flustered by the moment. Only Akemi was the only one who can see her little sister like that, seeing her true self.
-"But don't you think of romantic stuff, like, being taken away by your charming prince? It would be a so romantic experience for you!"- Said Akemi.
-"Well, I sometimes think about it, too…"- She then said –"Nee, do you think that , if he get to know about the Organization, will he be able to uncover it and bring justice to them?"-
-"Don't try to hide it, you know, "Only one Truth prevails!""- Said Akemi with a jokily tone
-"O-Onee-san!"- Again, flustered.
-"Well, let's just hope for the best, OK?"- Akemi said as she winked to her little sister.
Little they knew that they were being heard by Gin, one of the closest members of their Boss…
And that later that night, the news of Kudo Shinichi being killed by Gin has spread inside the whole Organization, leaving a sad and hopeless Shiho, now that her "only hope" was now gone… Or that's what she thought…
