Chapter 6: Let the search begin!
A Detective Conan Fanfic


Beika is greeted everyday around the clock by countless of passengers. People of multi backgrounds with different ages and genders. And it seemed like a few special guests would be coming to town today.

**********

The phone rang for a few seconds. Professor Agasa picked up the phone and was all silent. For the few minutes there, the only sounds to be heard was from the caller at the other end of the phone and the breathing of the Professor. As the elderly man sat there listening to the caller, his cheerful face begun to pile up with lines of worries.

The caller at the other end finally hung up the phone after much reassuring from the Professor. As the elderly man slowly put the phone down, he did not hesitate to let out a frown.

Sensing that something was amiss from the big picture, Ai walked over to the Professor and spoke in a low tone that could only be heard by the both of them, "Is Kudo in some kind of trouble?"

The Professor was distracted at that moment and failed to answer her question. Miraculously, he turned around to find Ai beside him and answered, "Shinichi is missing."

Ai didn't even flinched at his answer. She just sat there, looking as calm and cool as ever. She remained silent for a moment before asking, "So, are you going to seek help from that guy?"

"You mean Hajime?"

"If you are, we'll have to think up of something to conceal Kudo's identity."

"It won't be easy though."

Ai wasn't paying any attention to the Professor's response. She was too busy thinking up of a lie to cover Shinichi's identity. And it didn't took her long. She wasted no time in explaining every single detail of the plan, not missing even the tiniest detail.

**********

"What? Ku... Conan is missing!?" Heiji exclaimed in disbelief.

"He's been missing for almost a day... could anything have happened to him?" Ran panicked, revealing her soft side and obviously on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"Don't worry, Ran. Conan will be fine." comforted Kazuha.

"Aye... this is not the first time that kid's gotten into trouble! Don't worry, your father, the world's most brilliant detective would find him in no time!" Kogoro proclaimed.

Heiji almost laughed out loud at Kogoro's words but he managed to control his laughter before they got way out of hand. He headed for the door before turning back saying, "I'm going over to Professor's Agasa's place to see if they have any news of Conan."

Kazuha made an attempt to go after Heiji. But she could very well predict the reaction Heiji was going to give from the expressions in his eyes. She stood still in her tracks and waited for Heiji's departure before she took action...

**********

Heiji bit his lips. He was obviously worried over Conan's disappearance. He walked on, immersed in his own thoughts, unaware that he was being tailed.

It didn't take Heiji long to reach his destination. He rang the bell till his fingers were sore. He needed some answers and he needed them now! There had been too much questions since his arrival, but there were too few answers to satisfy his knowledge.

Ai popped into sight and unlocked the gates. She narrowed her eyes and gave Heiji a cold hard stare and then muttered under her breath, "We have a guest with us."

Heiji nodded his head as Ai led him into the house. As the two of them slowly got out of view, a silent intruder landed skillfully onto the ground and sneaked into the house.

"Allow me to make the introduction. Ahem. This is Heiji. Heiji Hattori. And this is Hajime. Hajime Kindaichi."

"Kindaichi? Hmm... that name really rings a bell..." Heiji wondered out aloud.

"Well, you see, Kousuke Kindaichi is my grandfather." said Hajime.

"What?! You're the grandson of that famous detective?! Pleased to meet you!" Heiji stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

"Pleased to meet you too," smiled Hajime as he grasp Heiji's hand in his.

It's about time we make a police report, 24 hour is almost up." Ran stated hastily as she stood up, getting ready to head for the police station.

"Ahem... but Ran, you already have such a talented, outstanding and brilliant, not to mention handsome and wonderful, super sleuth right at home! Why bother to waste your time going to the station?"

"Haven't you heard of two heads are better than one, Father? And it wouldn't hurt to seek more help to salvage the current situation. Besides... we haven't found any single clue for the past few hours, and the longer we take, the greater the risks we're putting Conan in... and we haven't the slightest clue what sort of danger he's currently exposed to. I would certainly not allow any harm to come to him!" Ran countered, her words carrying both anxiety and frustration at the same time.

"Well, I supposed you're right. I'll stay at home to wait for any further developments while you head down to make the report And don't forget to mention the name Kogoro Mouri to the officers. I'm sure they will perk up at the sound of my name! Gwahahaha." Kogoro boasted as his daughter slammed the door behind her.

Ran ran until she was sweating all over and nearly out of breath. For sure, she had all the time in the world. But that was no the point. For some unknown reasons, she just couldn't trust her father to find Conan. It seemed to her that handling the case over to the police was a far better alternative than to wait at home for her father to solve the clues, even though he was indeed a great detective.

Ran arrived at the police station shortly. As luck would have it, she happened to bump into Officer Satou and Officer Takagi.

"What are you doing here Ran?" questioned Officer Satou.

Ran briefly explained to both officers about her appearance at the station as the two officers nodded their heads in understanding.

"We'll do it then." Officer Satou declared.

Officer Takagi nodded in agreement as Ran stared wideyed at them, her heart full of gratitude.

"Really?" she asked, slightly cheering up.

"Don't worry, just leave the case to us." reassured Officer Takagi as the two of them sent Ran to the entrance to see her off.

Unfortunately, they were not going to handle this case for long.
