Revelation

It was summer. Ran, Conan and Kogoro went to Osaka for a weeklong vacation. Heiji and Kazuha were touring the three when a murder case was reported. The famous tantei, Kogoro, was invited to investigate the case. Heiji and Conan tagged along Kogoro in the crime scene. Ran happened to pass by to get Conan.

The two high school detectives did not notice Ran because they were too busy with the case.

"Ne, Kudo. There must be blood in the culprit's pants since he did not have time to change. This evidence is just enough to solve the case, right? Let's finish this quickly so that you can have a memorable experience here with Ran. (laughs)"

"(blushing) Start the deduction show, Heiji. I'll go to the room where the culprit stays. Signal me if you need my assistance. And stop teasing me, okay?

" Hai hai, Kudo. Don't be too defensive. (laughs) "

Heiji called Conan Kudo…

It took Ran seconds to absorb what she heard.

I am right. That's why Conan is very similar to Shinichi…why Conan's phone rings when I call Shinichi. Conan began to exist when Shinichi left . But how did Shinichi became Conan? Why did he not tell me?

Ran unknowingly started to observe Conan's every move.

Shinichi…

Conan went to the culprit's hideout himself but he did not expect that the culprit had accomplices. He called the police using Shinichi's voice.

"Megure keibu, Shinichi desu. This is an emergency! I am here near the abandoned warehouse where the culprits hide. I called you because they are more than expected. I thought that he's just one. Hayaku!"

"Wakarimashita, Shinichi. We'll be there in a minute."

Ran is still silently observing Conan from afar.

"Aniki…someone's there"

"Hai, I'll kill that for sure."

Conan blanked out. He thought that he was found out. Vodka aimed at Conan who was hiding at the back of a barrel. Conan felt the bullet that badly hit his shoulder. Luckily a cat passed by, and the black org men did not find out that they hit a person.

"That was just a cat, Aniki."

"Okay, let's finish this. (now talking to the culprit) Thank you for killing him for us."

Gin shot the culprit.

Ran, who was a little far from the scene, heard the gunshots and was shocked when she saw that Conan was hurt. She hurriedly ran near him.

"CONAN!"

"Ran-neesan! Why are you here? Run!"

Gin and Vodka heard her scream and aimed their guns at Ran.

"You'll regret this, miss."

Conan hurriedly came to cover Ran. He managed to take the bullet instead of Ran.

"Ran-neesan, I'll protect you. Even if my life would be in this risk."

"Shinichi…you have been protecting me"

"(shocked) Ran-neesssaaa…."

Conan fainted.

"Shinichi! Shinichi!"
