Detective Conan -- The Truth

by littlebutterflyever9

Shinichi has just confessed the truth, but Ran doesn't take it the way he thought she would. The best thing they could do was to leave each other alone. But could they really survive the emotional torture, especially when Gin escapes prison and tries to shoot Ran? Will Shinichi save her and communicate again? And, most importantly, will their lives ever be the same again?

14. Gin's Weakness?

Chapter 14

"So how are you, Shinichi?" Professor Agasa asked.

I huffed. "Fine."

I was at the Professor's having a cup of coffee and a chat. It was raining outside at that moment, so I wasn't able to go to Haruto's to discuss with him about his first interrogation. However, I would see him later on, if the rain stopped.

I then added as an after-thought, "If you actually consider being ignored by Ran and trying to protect her from Gin at the same time, fine."

The Professor choked on his coffee. "What?" he spluttered.

"Yeah. He and Vermouth escaped and now Gin's targeting Ran."

A familiar voice cut through the conversation. "Then we are all in danger, aren't we, Kudo-kun?"

We turned to see Ai Haibara—or, Miyano Shiho. She had transformed back using the antidote too, but stayed home most of the time.

I nodded solemnly. "They had a tool to bend the bars of the prison cell they were locked in. And they did it during the prison guards' lunch break."

Her eyes narrowed. "He can't just run around like that, he'll go completely berserk! And start killing off everyone you love one by one. He hates you, Kudo-kun. Likewise, he will hate all your family and friends."

I sighed, putting my chin on my palm. "There's got to be a way to stop him."

Haibara shrugged. "The only one who can figure it out is you."

I turned my head to the window, lost in deep thought.

I need to find his weakness.

Does this kind of human criminal even have a weakness. . . ?

Hi everyone, here's Chapter 14! Sorry if it isn't that long, but I promise that the climax will be rising in a few chapters later! You'll all be giving me horrified glares because of the last part of that particular chapter *smiles gleefully* :D. Please do be patient with me as school is starting next week and chapters might take a longer time to update. Here's a little hint: Chapter 15 will be Haruto relating to Shinichi about what Ran said to him. Please continue to support me! Thank you all!
