Quote of the day : "Zero is where everything starts! Nothing would ever be born if we didn't depart from there!" - Kudo Shinichi.
CHAPTER 1
"So, let me get this straight. A suspect escaped to the forest. After searching through the forest, you found a car crashed into a tree, which you assume that the suspect used to escape. The car had no covering on its seat, but except for that, there is no blood. You found three suspects. Yamamoto Keiji, who hurt his left leg. Mid 40s. Hina Kuroaki, who has injured her right hand, but seems to function well without it, due to being left-handed. Isami Keki, who bruised her ribs, and has a cut on the middle of her back. And you want me to find who the suspect is. Did I miss anything?" I read out from my notes, whilst my mind processed the information.
"Ah, I think that's all Shinichi-chan. Sorry for waking you up so early" The voice over the phone said apologetically.
"It's alright Megure-keibu." I replied, yawning. This is becoming way to regular. I thought. Ever since Hattori has said "Kudo's always available at nights!", almost twice a week, Megure-keibu called me for help on a case. Besides the weird look everyone exchanged at the phrase, they used me liked the internet. And truthfully, the lack of sleep was slowly getting to me.
I rolled off my bed, heading downstairs to make a cup of coffee to wake myself up. I closed my eyes, concentrating on the case.
Okay, Shinichi. Focus. The killer escaped to the forest, using the car. Then ripped off the covering. Why is that? Because the blood stain was on the car. The killer had to get rid off the bloodstain. So, that narrows down to… none. You're not getting anywhere! Focus.
I sluggishly opened my eyes and boiled the water.
No. That's the most important part of the case. They should have blood somewhere else as well beside the covering. Yamamoto Keiji. He injured his foot. Must be the reason why the car was crashed because he had a hard time controlling the car with only one foot. But if he hurt his foo, there would have been bloodstains on the pedal. So, he's not the killer. Hina Kuoraki. She injured her arm, which mean the blood would have dripped the steering wheel and on the floor if she drove. So she's not the killer. Then it must be Isami Keki. But if she cut her back, her instinct would have been to reach it, causing blood to end up on her ends. Bruised ribs could have been the one to trigger the crash
"Have you fallen asleep Shinichi-chan?" Megure-keibu's soft voice interrupted my train of thoughts.
"No, I'm just thinking. Give me some time please, Keibu" I mumbled. The squeal of kettle pierced the air and I poured the coffee into the pot, and started to stir. I inhaled the aroma closed my eyes once again the concentrate on the case.
Maybe you're rushing this Shinichi. Think slowly. How come Isami didn't have bloodstain on her hands. The injury was on the back. The middle of her back! She couldn't reach it! Now it makes sense. So the only bloodstain she made was on the covering. Because of the bruised rib, she couldn't turn the steering wheel well, which caused her to crash. Panicked, she removed the covering.
I felt myself smiling as the feeling of accomplishment set it. "Isami Keki. She is the suspect. She removed the covering because it had blood on it from her cut. She didn't have it anywhere else on her because she couldn't touch her cut. The bruised ribs are what caused her to crash because it is hard to steer when you have a bruised rib"
"Oh. So that's what happened. Thank you Shinichi-chan. Hope you're doing well on your case" He said.
"Anytime, Megure-keibu" I said, immediately regretting what I said. This will probably lead to another sleepless night.
I held the cup tight, feeling its warmth. I glanced at my wrist watch. 3:20 am. I drank the coffee while going downstairs to my library, feeling like how it was before I turned into Conane. I felt slightly guilty for that fac that I told Ran that I was going to sleep over at Agasa Hakase's house but truthfully, just darted over to my house. But I missed the house too much. Sighing, I turned the computer on, going on the news section
Kaitou kid sends out a Heist note!
Kaitou Kid vs Empress' Tear
Kaitou Kid is out again
The Magician's Heist
I chuckled reading the title. Kaitou Kid was having another heist. Kogoro-ojisan will receive a copy of the heist soon, and I just need to go along. I smiled once again as I wondered what he had up on his sleeve. Finishing my cup of heaven, I went upstairs and crashed myself on my bed.
What does he have prepared for me this time?
Ring Ring Ring ring
I groaned as I heard my alarm ring. I glanced on my watch, which said it was 6:30 which meant that I had about 2 hours of sleep. Great. I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth while checking my phone to make sure it was off and had no new messages on the Shinichi phone.
"Another day as Edogawa Conane." I told myself on the mirror. "Another safe day as Edogawa Conane" I corrected myself. Haibara said she was getting close to the cure. Very close. She just needed about a month to finalize the antidote. The cursed antidote.
With very heavy eyelids I walked downstairs. Putting pop-tarts on the toasters, I turned the TV on.
" 'Kaitou Kid has announced another heist, about the Empress' Tears. The police has received a riddle, which they are readily solving. Now off the Ned with more information about this Empress' Tears. Ned! The whole Japan is buzzing once again with the news of the Phantom Thief. This time, he's trying to steal the Empress' Tears. So, what is Empress' Tears?' 'Well, Jamie, the Empress' Tears is a jewel dating back to-' "
Pop! I grabbed the pop-tarts and my school bags and walked out from the Kudo Mansion. I felt a pang in my heart as I left the familiar house that I grew up in. I walked to my neighbour's, Agasa Hakase's house, knowing that Haibara will be awake.
Ding dong
"It's Conane" I said, fully knowing that Haibara will be seeing an empty keyhole because of my height. The door opened, and the warm air blasted towards me.
"Hey, Haibara. I -" thud.
Miyao Shiho was what welcomed me. Not Haibara Ai. The cure
"Does… does this mean.. Is t-t-this why you haven't been in school?" I stuttered. The cure
"I did it, Kudo"
