Chapter 1: The Witnesses
"'It happened last Friday night; they were on their way home when they saw a flash of light at the abandoned building, which is 5 blocks near our school. The flash of light was coming from the 1st floor. They peered at the window from the outside. They said that the room was filled with candles and the flash of light came from the camera. A middle aged woman was tied up at a cross, which was the same woman who have been found missing since the last two weeks. Two men with their faces covered were taking the woman's picture. One of them was holding a rope. As he pulled the rope, daggers flew out of nowhere and it hit her on her forehead. Some flew to the window, where the freshmen students were hiding. They screamed as it hit passed the window. They ran as fast as they could; Sakura turned her back and saw another flash of light. '" Shinichi said; he was repeating what Inspector Megure had said when he asked the witnesses. He was playing with the soccer ball at the rooftop, thinking deeply. "If Sakura turned around, then the killers must've known who she was. Ayame is the only safe witness at the moment, Sakura may be in danger. But – the body, I couldn't find any clue that will tell me where the body could be."
"Um – Shinichi-kun?" a small, girly voice spoke from behind. Shinichi turned around and saw two first year girls. Ayame has a skin as white as snow, long brown hair, blue round eyes and her height was nearly as Shinichi's. Sakura has a fair color of skin, short black hair, brown round eyes and she seems shorter than Ayame.
"Hi!" Shinichi greeted.
"So? Will you go back there?" Sakura asked. Her voice seems little and scared.
"You bet, I will!" Shinichi replied, bouncing the soccer ball on his head. "There might be something I haven't noticed."
"I'm scared." Sakura sobbed, "I shouldn't have turned around. Now, they might kill me!"
"People always tend to turn around to check whether they were being chased after they have witnessed something they shouldn't have." he said.
"I think it's better if you will stay in a crowd, you know, so we can watch over you and the killer may have a hard time to target you." Ayame suggested, winking at Sakura.
"A determined killer doesn't care if you're in a crowd, what is important for them is to have you both killed." he said. The tone of his voice has changed; it seemed serious.
"What do you think we should do, then?" Ayame retorted.
"Don't you remember what Inspector Megure told you?" he asked, his eyes were still fixed on the ball.
"Um – we'll be escorted every time we'll go somewhere –" Sakura sniffed.
"There you go!" he said.
"Shinichi!" a familiar voice said from behind. Shinichi caught the ball in his arms and turned around. "Er – Hi, Ran!" Shinichi said.
"Didn't you hear the bell? Our class will be starting any minute now." Ran said, giving Shinichi a suspicious look. "Or are you too busy to hear it?"
"H – Hello, Ran-ee chan!" Ayame and Sakura greeted.
"Hello!"
"We'll be going then." Sakura said, pushing Ayame away.
"Ja-ne, Shinichi-kun & Ran-ee chan!" they said as they left Shinichi and Ran alone at the rooftop. Then, Shinichi noticed something as the two girls turned their backs.
"What are those first years doing here with you?" Ran asked, looking directly at his eyes. Shinichi didn't look away, instead, he moved closer to her. He grinned at her and said, "It's another case I have to solve. Remember what I told you this morning? They're the witnesses."
"Oh, I see." Ran said, turning her back.
"So, you're not jealous are you?" Shinichi asked, running along to catch up with her.
"Of course not!" Ran exclaimed, avoiding Shinichi's eyes. He noticed that her face had turned red. She walked as fast as she could to their classroom.
"You're lying, I can tell!" Shinichi teased.
