In Which the TMPD Learn to Fear the Naito Shin's Wrath

"You- you want me to help you with what?" 12 years old Mouri Ran asked in bewilderment, wondering if she had heard correctly.

"I want you to help me throwing someone off of that building's rooftop." The now 12 years old Shinichi repeated his words calmly, pointing at the top of the Haido City Hotel.

"Shinichi." Ran said as she rubbed her forehead in exasperation, "I know that I said I want to help you in your job, like an assistant, but killing someone is not good".

"Whoever says I want to kill him?" Shinichi asked in confusion, "He's just a rude and arrogant Wannabe Detective, who thinks that just because he's rich and well known that he can mock other people as he pleases. Not enough to get killed for, even though I would never do such a horrid thing in the first place".

"But you want me to help you throwing him off of a building." Ran said pointedly.

"Well, after we tied a Bungee Cord around his legs, of course." Shinichi said as if it should have been obvious, "I just want to scare him for a bit, to teach him an unforgettable lesson".

Ran could only sweat drop there.

"Here, wear this to cover your face and hair." Shinichi handed her sunglasses and beanie hat, "Wouldn't want for him to recognize your face and sue you later, right?".

Ran sighed as she accepted the offered items, knowing that Shinichi wouldn't take no for an answer, before proceeding to wear the beanie - making sure none of her hair was out of it - and then the sunglasses next. "Come on then." She said once she was ready, "Let's get this over with".

"Megure-keibu, I found this folded paper taped onto Gotou-san's back." Young Sato-keiji (Officer Sato) reported to Megure, who was busy face-palming himself.

Detective Gotou - the man whom they had just rescued from being hanged by his feet using a Bungee Cord - wasn't someone that was well liked by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, that was obvious. Not only that the man was arrogant, but he also had just mocked the whole TMPD not too long ago. The man had called them stupid for listening to a kid like Naito Shin, only for him to make a wrong deduction at a case while Naito Shin was correct as usual.

"It's from Naito Shin, isn't it?" Megure asked with a sigh.

"Yes …" Sato answered unsurely, "But the sign and doodle are different from the usual, he added 'Night Baron Mode' beside the 'Naito Shin' sign, and a Night Baron mask on the doodle".

"Nani?! (What?!)" Megure took the paper from Sato's offered hand, and unfolded it to read what Naito Shin had written to them.

Dear TMPD,

I won't beat around the bush. I did that as a punishment for the Wannabe Detective, he should have looked into a mirror first before mocking people.

This is also a warning for the whole Police Department, please work harder in your job. Please don't just counting on Kudou Yusaku-san and I to help solve the cases, learn some new stuffs and be more observant, so no one would mock you anymore. If there's more lazy Officers after this little warning, I'm afraid they would find themselves into the same - or similar - position as the Wannabe Detective that you had just rescued.

Sincerely,

Naito Shin in Night Baron Mode.

"Night Baron is a thief who sometimes kills people." Megure began after reading the letter out loud, "So, Naito Shin in Night Baron Mode is when Naito Shin got angry, and would become slightly fearsome?".

"I heard that Naito Shin is a very kind boy who sympathize to even a murderer." Sato commented thoughtfully, "So, he would become violent if he's angry enough?".

"Seems like it." Megure nodded in agreement, "As much as I hate to admit it, we have grown to be too dependent on Yusaku and Naito Shin's help lately. Inform all Officers about this letter, we have to take our job seriously and sharpen our skills. I really don't want to find out what else Naito Shin would do in this Night Baron Mode".

"Hai (Yes)." Sato said with a salute before walking away to do as she was told.

Dear Phantom Lady,

Thank you for your advice, it works perfectly.

Chikage chuckled after reading the short message that Shinichi delivered to her via Kaiichi the Dove. "You're welcome, Shin-chan." She replied out loud, even though the said boy was nowhere around her.
