Black-eyed Susan 21

Black-eyed Susan- Justice

Saguru's pov

"First of all are you two alright?" I asked, kneeling down next to the two girls.

Isabelle nodded, Aoko appeared to be unconscious, I don't blame her. My father, Mouri-san, and the inspector pushed their way through the crowd.

"Is everything alright?" Keibu-san asked in a panicked tone.

"That's a curious question. Well... other than the dead man in the cupboard ...yes?" I said, not really knowing how to answer.

I turned to where princess had been, and within the three seconds I'd looked away she was already on the phone peering into the closet at the man.

I helped Nakamori move Aoko back into the main seating area.

"Hakuba is eve... Oh my goodness is she alright?" Kuroba asked, frantically.

"I didn't know you cared that much. Tell me when she wakes up alright,"I replied, as I pulled on a pair of white gloves.

"What's going on?" Kuroba asked.

I hurried back to hall Mouri and my father were forcing people back. As soon as I got through the human wall I could see princess, her father was talking to her, his face was one of faux concern. Princess did a good job convincing him that she was in shock or something of the sort.

I walked up to her,"Are you sure you're alright?"

Anyone who didn't know she was Rose would've believed her act, she quivered and nodded her head.

"Alright, tell me if you need anything,"I said, heading into the cupboard.

The man was leaning against the back wall a crimson river flowed from his right temple where a bullet had entered, in his right hand was a gun attached to which was a silencer. There was a burn around the entry wound, 'Suicide is possible but it's still too early to say for sure.'

I reached into the man's right pocket for his wallet, empty, 'That's wei- oh it's in his left pocket, wait he's still warm' I hovered my hand over the gun's barrel, still hot.

"You do know you're not supposed to touch anything till the police arrive," Father said, from behind me.

"Evan Meijers, age 37," I said, putting the wallet back,"The gun is still hot, the body's still warm, he couldn't have been dead long. It's quite possible someone saw him enter, if that's the case we'll be able to get an exact time of death."

"It's just like the last time," Father whispered to himself.

"Pray tell,"I said, getting up from where I sat.

My father looked at me concerned,"I don't feel comfortable with you meddling in police business Saguru,"he said as I turned and walked past him.

"You shouldn't worry about it, I've been doing this since I was 14,"I said (which was a mistake).

"That's exactly what you're mother and I are worried about, normal children never see things like that, let alone interfere,"He said shifting his weight from foot to foot,"We worry about you Saguru, what if something were to happen."

I paused,"Father... don't think for one moment that I am normal, I've always been different, I've never fit in. Don't fret if something were to happen to me I'd only have myself to blame, I know my curiosity runs wild, but if feels much better to let it run than bind it down,"I said, politely.

Father simply sighed and shook his head, "About a month before you came back to Japan a woman, employed here, by the name of Anna Meijers committed suicide in that same cupboard,"Father said, answering the questions that lingered inside my head, those questions of course were replaced by a new series of new questions.

"Anna Meijers, could the two cases be related? Do you know why she committed suicide? Were they married, or maybe siblings, or related in some other way, perhaps their not even kin but share the same last name,"I muttered to myself.

"Please wait till Inspector Megure arrives," My father begged.

"Alright fine," I said, making my way to the table where Princess and the others were sitting.

Princess sat to her father's right, her back was turned toward me but over her shoulder I could see her fingers nimbly working away embroidering a handkerchief. I took a seat next to her, across from us sat Nakamori-san. Aoko had woken up and was sitting next to her father, my mother and Kaito both tended to her making sure she was alright.

"I'm glad to see you're awake, Aoko," I said, wholeheartedly.

Nakamori-san shifted a weary glance toward me.

"What exactly is going on?"Kaito demanded, there was a side of him showing that I'd never seen before, it quite reminded me of the way I acted this morning.

Watson flew onto the table right in front of princess, Watson flopped on his back as Bella stroked his feathers him affectionately nipping her fingers. I couldn't help but snicker at his strange behavior, he was acting much like my grandmother's cat just basking in attention.

Kuroba cleared his throat gaining my attention once more,"You do know what's going on don't you?"he asked a bit panicked, I've seen this side of him before.

I glanced over at Aoko she was quiet, I didn't like to see her that way with her head hung low, her eyes empty and distant,"I do know ... somewhat, But I don't wish to distress Aoko or Princess any more than they already are,"I said, getting up from my seat. I peered over the rail at the door Inspector Megure and the forensics team came in,"Kuroba, are you any good at debate?"

He looked at me confused,"W-what?"

"If you could, would you prove me wrong?"

"Yeah why?" he responded.

"Good enough come with me,"I said, leaving him little time to argue.

He reluctantly followed,"Were are we going?" Kaito protested as we walked down the stairs.

"To the crime scene,"I replied, nonchalantly.

"Come again?"

"We... are going... to a crime scene,"I repeated slowly so that he was sure to understand.

"Okay~ but why?"he asked quite irritated.

"I'm going to prove you wrong,"I said stopping, I turned around to face the shorter lad,"You always say that I'm a lousy detective, so... I'm going...to prove... you wrong."

I whipped around and continued down toward the inspector, Kuroba following close behind.

"So why do you want me to come with you?" Kaito asked even more agitated than before.

"Because I need someone to talk to,"I responded not knowing how sad it sounded,"Normally I'd talk things over with Bella or for the rare occasion Miss Adler. Bella is being watched like a hawk by her father, and Watson literally is a hawk and would draw too much attention. Besides I believe you're intelligent enough to understand my ramblings, you're pretty stubborn and without hesitation you'd put down my own opinion if it was flawed. So naturally you'd bring the other side of the argument,"I explained.

"Yeah whatever," grumbled the black-blue haired boy.

I greeted Megure alongside my father, Mouri-san, and Conan.

Alright guys we are getting into the first case I'm certainly hoping it'll go well expect more in the future sincerely author-chan
