Prologue: Shinichi's Death
"Oi, Ran stop crying, this kind of thing happens all the time!", Shinichi told Ran as they were leaving Tropical Land
"But it's just so cruel!", Ran whined at Him which was Replied with a harsh "Baka!" from Shinichi.
Suddenly his phone began to ring. The caller name was Kudou Naomi. His sister. He almost face-palmed himself when he remembered something.
"You baka, remember to go home at 8 p.m. later, hmm."
"Yes ma'am", he replied sarcastically.
He dropped the call and turned his phone off. He was looking around for a food stall with which he could buy some food that can be given as "peace offering" to his sister, when he saw one of the 2 suspicious men running to a dimly-lit street outside of Tropical Land.
As he watched the transaction, he thought it best to call the police, so he turned on the phone. Nao-chan was calling him again. He pressed the answer button, and started to talk when suddenly. . .
"Your detective game ends here."
He failed to see the other of the two standing behind him and before he knew it, he was hit on the head by a metal pipe.
He was half-conscious but he could still hear the men talking about him, the man called Gin noticed his phone and stepped on it, breaking it instantly.
Now the man went near him, tried to open his (Shinichi's) mouth, and fed him with some capsule.
"Goodbye, Meitantei-kun."
At that instant, the agonizing pain fell over him, but he wouldn't let go of life.
His last thought was:"Sorry, Mii. I think I won't be home tonight."
Shinichi let out a small scream, and then he slowly lost consciousness…never to regain it again…
