"Where is this place…" said the high schooler

Shinichi is in an unknown place and he was alone in there. He tried to look around but only greeted by gray grass and white walls surrounding him. As he walks forward even more, he heard a voice

"Niichan…"

"Shinichi-niichan…"

The high schooler recognized the voice and started to look around in panic

"Conan… Oi Conan! Where are you?!" shout Shinichi

The voice becomes clearer which is indeed the high schooler's little brother is calling him out

"Shinichi-niichan…"

The high schooler can't help to feel worried and panic as the voice that's calling him seems to be in trouble and scared, so he runs around the place without knowing what place is it. The memory of the time in white room replayed again and suddenly new words were mentioned and Shinichi never thought he will hear it again

"I'm sorry… Niichan"


Shinichi woke up in shock by the dream he got and his breathing becomes fast as he held his head. As his eyes adjust to the room, suddenly someone comes into the room and open a futon right beside him. The words that he heard made him shock

"Edogawa-kun is gone too!"

Few minutes before

The morning has come to the island that is now full of cases that are needed to be solved. But, an unexpected thing happen in the middle of the investigation. Just inside the inn, Miyuki suddenly goes into a room in panic which surprise Ran, Kogoro and Haibara who happen to be inside

"Mouri-san! Something terrible has happened!" said Miyuki panic
"What's wrong Miyuki-san?" asked Kogoro who's surprised
"Those kids… They're gone!"
"EH?!" shout both Kogoro and Ran
"Three of them sleep with you right Miyuki-san?!" asked Haibara serious
"Yes, but when I woke up this morning, they weren't there" said Miyuki worried

Haibara rush to the door that separate the room where the boys are sleeping which she sees Shinichi just woke up while Professor Agasa is still sleeping. Haibara rush to Conan's futon and she opened it which shock her that Conan is not in there

"Edogawa-kun is gone too!" said Haibara serious
"WHAT!?" shout the rest of them

Shinichi eyes shot up as he sees the futon beside him was empty. He looks around the room and notice that Conan's phone is still lying on the table, but no sign of his glasses or his badge. His eyes started to get panic and worried

"Calm down Shinichi-san! For now, we can sure that those three are with Edogawa-kun. Either three of them went out by themselves which Edogawa-kun followed them or… Those three see Edogawa-kun went out and those three followed him" said Haibara serious to Ran and Kogoro
"But… Conan would not investigate by himself without me after that Aegis Destroyer incident" said Shinichi serious as he stood up
"Knowing the brat… I'm sure he would not do anything reckless by making the detective brat worried but then again, something may have taken his curiosity" said Kogoro serious
"Let's go find them" said Haibara as she let out her glasses
"Alright, Occhan, Ran and Miyuki-san stay here in case they all back" said Shinichi as he took his jacket

Shinichi and Haibara dash out of the inn while Ran showed a worried look

"Conan-kun…" thought Ran worried

Outside the Inn

"They should have their detective badges right?" said Shinichi serious
"Yes… I got them, they are in… folk museum?!" said Haibara
"Don't tell me… That dream just now…" thought Shinichi

Shinichi quickly took Haibara up and put her behind his back and then dash to the folk museum in top speed. Haibara hold onto Shinichi's shoulder and notice on how serious and worried Shinichi is when it comes to Conan's safety


At the folk museum

"We're here… Where's the signal now?" asked Shinichi
"It's inside" said Haibara looking at her glasses
"Hold on Haibara!"

Shinichi dash inside which they quickly look around and suddenly a security guard goes to them

"Oi! You can't just come in here! No one is allowed in right now" said the security guard

Before Shinichi could reason with him, Haibara already do it for him

"My friends are playing hide and seek near here and I can't find them for a while. We thought that they went inside here, so I ask Oniisan to help me since I have weak body" said Haibara in very low voice like a shy little girl
"No way! I just looked around here and didn't see them" said the security guard
"Maybe they're hiding from you as well. Please let us search"
"Alright… Just hurry and find them"

The security guard walk away which make Shinichi look at Haibara who just look serious

"It's better this way, go in the projection hall" said Haibara
"Ah alright…" said Shinichi

After they arrive to the projection hall, which they didn't find anyone around. Haibara look around and then ask Shinichi to let her go, which he let her. She goes toward one of the chairs and see something that make them shock under it

Two detective badges, glasses and a notebook

"These badges, definitely Kojima-kun and Tsuburaya-kun. If I remember, Kudou-kun's badge is the upgraded one for both of your glasses" said Haibara as she looked at Shinichi

Shinichi gently look inside the notebook which to be clues of the case that he write together with him and one note that seems to new about him fixing his pocket hole. He looked to the end, which he didn't see Conan's detective badge in it

"Haibara, look for Conan's detective badge" said Shinichi serious
"I already tried, but there's no signal… The fact that it's not in here then he still has it" said Haibara
"But the fact we can't track it… That means…"
"Shinichi-san… It's official that four of them are spirited away like Kindaichi-san"

Shinichi grit his teeth and tighten his fist, looking at the glasses and notebook. Suddenly he hit the wall in anger

"Why… Why Conan?! Why you have to be reckless to go in this place knowing danger is near!" thought Shinichi angrily
"I know you're feeling right now but the good thing is that if they're spirited away… They are on the other island where Kindaichi-san is" said Haibara serious
"Yeah… you're right"
"Knowing him, he should be looking for Kindaichi-san, so they can get out from there. There's also a police detective with them, so it's relieving. So now, all we can do right now is solve this case on this island, so you can go to that island to rescue them"
"Yeah… Thanks Haibara"

Shinichi stand up as he looked to the hole serious in worried

"Conan… Wait for me, and please be safe" thought Shinichi

Suddenly someone shouts at them, which to be the museum staff. Since Shinichi mind is not in place, Haibara explain the situation to the staff about they got permission by the security guard to look for their friends, which they didn't find them. But then, the staff remark that there will be another bombing which made Shinichi eyes change to serious

"What do you mean by another bombing?" asked Shinichi serious
"Because the secretary, Kuramoto-san got a bombing notice from the culprit" said the staff worried
"Bomb notice?!"
"Yes, he found it here this morning and give it to the police"
"Did you see the content?" asked Haibara
"Yes, it was like some sort of code like in suspense drama"
"Say… On the bomb notice, is there an angel wing on it?" asked Shinichi
"No…"

Shinichi got surprised by the news since yesterday notices all have angel's wings with that, Shinichi ask for the notice content and quickly look for the bomb himself. He told Haibara to go back to the inn to tell the others about the bombing and also what they found in the folk museum about the kids are spirited away. Haibara also give the detective badge that they found in the folk museum, so she can contact him if anything happened.


Time Skip~

After Shinichi manage to defuse the new bomb at the Truck Dinner. He can't help to be suspicious as the bomb was identical but doesn't have the angel wing on it. Professor Agasa quickly go where Shinichi is and he quickly took the new detonator to inspect it. Shinichi look around the diner and surprise to find a skeleton inside the fridge and he asked Professor Agasa to tell the police about it.

The high schooler goes back to the museum trying to find Sasayama, but he was greeted by the VIP, Kimoto Youji and his secretary, Kuramoto Takashi. He also happened to meet Superintendent Akechi who revealed that he's looking for the dangerous serial bomber that's now in Twilight Island. Suddenly, the museum staff told them that the bomber send another bombing notice which surprised all of them while Shinichi quickly look at the bombing notice which surprised the rest, but the staff explain that Shinichi happen to solve the first notice and stop the bombing as well with the help of Professor Agasa

"The library… Twilight Island library!" shout Shinichi serious
"Alright, I will be going to the library, I want you to go back to the inn" said Superintendent Akechi
"No, I'm coming. I can contact Professor Agasa to help with defusing the bomb like we did in the Truck Diner"
"I see, alright. Let's go"

Both of them quickly run to the library and Superintendent Akechi quickly evacuate people inside the library while Shinichi look around for the bomb which he quickly found it inside the trashcan. Luckily he still remembered how to defuse the bomb which he has done it in minutes.

"With this, we're done…" thought Shinichi

"Did you just defuse the bomb by yourself?"

Shinichi was surprised and he looked back which to be Superintendent Akechi look amaze by his skills which he just smiled as he stood up

"Luckily I happen to memorize how Professor Agasa defuse the bomb" said Shinichi half lie
"I see, you are interesting detective…" said Superintendent Akechi

As both of them about to leave suddenly they heard a scream coming from the second floor which they rush. They look around and see that nobody is around since they have already been evacuated. Shinichi pointed at one room and about to open it, but it was stuck.

"We have no choice, let's force in" said Superintendent Akechi

Shinichi and Superintendent Akechi quickly break their way into the room. Both of them notice a shadow suddenly appear by the door, but it was gone in seconds, but they hurriedly open the door and much to their surprised to find a dead body inside the room and the victim which to be Sasayama Tooru.

"Sasayama-san!" said Shinichi shock
"You know him?" asked Superintendent Akechi
"Yes… He's a freelance writer, Sasayama Tooru-san"
"I regret to tell you that he's already passed away"

Shinichi look at the body seriously and notice the fatal wound on his chest, which means someone must have stabbed him. They remember the shadow that they see when they break into the room and as they look around the room, they notice the window which they quickly look out and confirm that someone can jump out from the window easily

"If he did jump from there, then he must be not far. I will go after him so you better get back to the inn this time" said Superintendent Akechi as he runs out
"I'm sorry, but I need to look around the scene first" thought Shinichi serious

The high schooler look around to find clues, but suddenly he heard a strange sound from a box and as he opened it, it turns out to be another bomb. He was shock because the time is already very short and he has no time to defuse it. He wanted to run away, but he needed to see more of this scene to find the culprit. As he looked around, he found Sasayama's camera and he quickly used it to take pictures of the scene carefully and as he's done, he runs away.

As Shinichi went out, the bomb exploded right as Shinichi gets out from the library. He sighs as he managed to escape and not hurt. The last thing he needed is to get hurt so that when he found Conan, he will not get another lecture from him. But then, the badge rings which to be Haibara, and he told him there was another bomb notice sent to Kogoro, but the notice has an angel's wing on it so Haibara tell him the content


Time Skip~

Shinichi manage to solve the new notice and meet Professor Agasa at the almost becoming bombing place. After defusing the bomb, Shinichi told him about Sasayama's murder and about to print the pictures in Fukado. But before he about to go, suddenly a staff give a notice to Shinichi that has angel's wing in it and it told that he will postpone the fireworks until the person who send the bombing notice without the angel's wings or in other words, copycat is found. With that, Shinichi become sure to solve the murder case, which seems to be connected to the copycat's bombings.

Few moments later

After getting some pictures that managed to be printed in Fukado first, Shinichi quickly goes back to the inn to look into the pictures. As he comes in, he was greeted by the people inside

"Shinichi!" said Ran surprised
"Ran…" said Shinichi in low voice
"Ai-chan told us… Conan-kun and the others got spirited away in the folk museum, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Don't worry, we will bring them back" said Kogoro serious to Shinichi
"Thank you Occhan…"
"They're missing in the folk museum, just like Hajime-chan… I'm worried" said Miyuki
"I'm sure by now, he's meeting with Kindaichi-san. Let's hope they will be fine" said Ran
"Yeah you're right… I hope Conan can be handful to Kindaichi as well since he knows most of the cases that happened for two days now" said Shinichi

Miyuki look at Shinichi who showed eyes of worried and scared when they mention Conan. She becomes curious and waited for a good time to ask Shinichi more since she already knows about Conan's feelings. Shinichi proceed to tell them about the bombings that just happened and also about Sasayama's death which is confirmed as murder. All of them are shock and then Shinichi told them that before the bombing happened, he managed to take pictures for them to investigate.

Professor Agasa and Haibara quickly comes in to the room and all of them are now looking at the picture evidences. Haibara help Shinichi as she's pointing at few things which she quickly took a note too. Ran who sees Haibara helping for the first time can't help to get surprised

"Ai-chan… really looks like Conan-kun" thought Ran surprised
"What's wrong Ran-san?" asked Miyuki
"Ah no… It's fine" said Ran smiled to Miyuki

Not only Ran who notices it, Shinichi actually happen to notice Haibara as well. The high schooler also can't help to notice how identical Haibara is to Conan when it comes to helping out with a case, but he tried not to think of it and focus on solving the case.


Time Skip~

With help of everyone, Shinichi manage to solve the murder case of Sasayama Tooru and the bombings without the angel wings on it. The culprit is Kimoto Youji's secretary, Kuramoto Takashi. Shinichi with Kogoro is with them in the hotel owned by Kimoto Youji, giving a deduction show and pointing Takashi as the culprit. With many evidences, Takashi given up and confess that he killed Sasayama Tooru and did the bombings in order to keep the secret of Twilight Island. Youji on the other hand, given up and about to confess of everything

Youji confess that the thing that was stolen is gold as Shinichi predicted, before Youji confess about the tragedy, suddenly a bomb explodes right in the room beside them which made all of them all got hit by the rumbles and got unconscious. Shinichi woken up with Kogoro already put him outside with help of Superintendent Akechi and they told him that Kimoto Youji has gone and nowhere to be found. The case of the tragedy 25 years ago still a big mystery for all of them which Shinichi has no choice but to go back to the inn

Few moments later

Instead of going into the room, Shinichi stayed at the bench outside the inn as he sees the night sky that was shown on the pond. His mind is thinking about his little brother that's now spirited away in the other island

"Conan… Are you alright… Did you manage to find Kindaichi and help him… Please be okay" thought Shinichi as he holds his head
"Shinichi-kun?"

Shinichi look up and surprised to see Miyuki is outside

"Miyuki-san? What are you doing here?" asked Shinichi surprised
"I just want to get some fresh air. What about you?" asked Miyuki
"Same… It was tiring day"

Shinichi then give space for Miyuki to sit beside her, which she did. Miyuki notice Shinichi's tired face mixed with worry as well

"Are you worried about Conan-kun?" asked Miyuki
"Eh? Well… Yeah…" said Shinichi with a sad smile
"Nee Shinichi-kun, what do you think of Conan-kun?"

The detective got surprised and then he let out a small smile as he sees the pond

"Conan… He is my relative, but I see him as my little brother. We have been together for around a year now and we did everything together. He's very smart for his age and he can catch on anything he learned and the best of all, he's a great partner" said Shinichi proudly
"You sure are lucky and blessed to have him, Shinichi-kun" said Miyuki smiling
"Yes, having Conan as my partner is indeed the luckiest thing I have but… To be honest, it's unlucky for Conan to have me as his relative"

Miyuki look surprised by Shinichi's confession and can't help to hear more

"One day… A person who has a grudge on me put a revenge plan and it involved Ran's family because she's my childhood friend, but Conan protect them and he almost lost his life because of that" said Shinichi looking down
"No way…" said Miyuki surprised
"Ever since that incident, I became more sensitive when it comes to his safety. Will I be able to save him in time before anything happens… That thought always passes through my mind"
"Shinichi-kun… I'm sure he will be fine. He has his friends with him and I'm sure Hajime-chan already meet him and protect him too. I'm sure they will be alright and like you and Conan-kun said to me, Hajime-chan will be fine and come back safely"
"Yeah you're right. I'm sorry for making you worry as well Miyuki-san"
"Ah no…"

Miyuki then smile as he looked at Shinichi who goes back seeing the night sky. She quickly understands the relationship between the high schooler and grade schooler. Conan owe Shinichi with his life and Shinichi who will do anything to protect him. After sitting for a while, both of them goes to inn to get some sleep to investigate more tomorrow.


Time Skip~

Shinichi woke up and notice that Professor Agasa and Kogoro is not in the room. He then gets up and about to go into the other room and notice that Haibara and Ran are talking together which he can't help to overhear them

"I'm worried about Conan-kun" said Ran worried
"Kudou-kun is smart through this kind of trouble. I think he should be focusing on investigating the other island and forgot about going back" said Haibara who seems to be in eased
"But worrying Shinichi maybe too harsh"
"Well I'm sure Shinichi-san already tried to call Kudou-kun's badge but the fact that he's not answering, maybe he lost his own badge so that's why he can't contact him"
"You're right…"
"Still that's rare for you to worry about him this much. You usually just worry for a while and help Shinichi-san to find him"
"I got a scary dream last night… That Conan-kun was pushed by someone"

Shinichi who heard about it can't help to get surprised until Haibara seems let out a slight sigh

"Dreams are created based on what you are feeling right now, you are worrying this too much. Kudou-kun know himself that he can't die when he has to go back to Shinichi-san" said Haibara serious
"Yeah… You're right, maybe I'm overthinking this. If only we could help Shinichi to find a way to get more information about this island" said Ran
"He did get curious about this island VIPs but some of them already spirited away, so it would be hard to get the others"

Just as they both talk, suddenly Sanae enter the room and ask them if they're curious about the spirited away. She said that the island is expecting an annual party held by the VIPs in the hotel tonight and only chosen people will be invited. Shinichi quickly comes out from the other room and then ask if they can sneak in and Sanae said it's impossible, but then she gives them her invitation, so they can enter which shock them

"But why are you giving this to us?" asked Shinichi surprised
"A series of cases are threatening the peace of this island and I'm not in the mood for a party. But it's a waste to throw the ticket away, so if it can help you solve these cases then I have no problem giving it to you" said Sanae smiled
"Still… It's a party for chosen people right, on what criteria you got invited Sanae-san?" asked Haibara
"Well… I have been on this island for a long time now"

Shinichi, Ran and Haibara then nod and thank her for the offer and Sanae want them to solve the cases to bring the island's peace back which they agreed. After Sanae left, they quickly go to the room where Kogoro and Professor Agasa is and they also called Miyuki from the other room and they explain what happened and Sanae's invitation

"It's settled then, the detective brat, Miyuki-san and I will be coming" said Kogoro
"Alright" said Miyuki agreed

Shinichi walk to Haibara and his words surprised all of them in the room

"Haibara, can you follow us as well?" asked Shinichi
"Eh?" asked Haibara surprised

Kogoro, Ran and Professor Agasa look surprised by Shinichi's sudden favor. Haibara herself was hesitated

"Why?" asked Haibara
"I have already known your skills from Conan, can you be my partner for this investigation? I really want to get to that island faster" asked Shinichi serious
"But the invitation can only be for three people"
"Just adding one child wouldn't hurt and I'm sure those people will not suspicious to us since we bring a child, would you mind?"

Haibara was taken aback but knowing Shinichi must have another motive making her his partner since everyone around them know that the one person that can be Shinichi's ideal partner is Conan only. Ran realized Shinichi's intention immediately and so she holds onto Haibara's shoulders

"Ai-chan, you should help him. I also ask you a favor" said Ran
"Ran…" said Shinichi surprised
"Will you?"

The girl sigh and then nod in agreement which Shinichi smile as he gets ready to go out following Kogoro and Miyuki. Haibara then look at Ran in confuse

"Ran-san… Are you sure letting me help Shinichi-san? I mean, his partner is-"
"I know, but… Conan-kun always told us that you are the best when it comes to find information of the case, so that's why Shinichi believe in you. Also… It seems Shinichi needed someone to be his brake as well" said Ran smile
"Brake?"
"You will understand once you see it yourself"

Kogoro moved back a little and goes to Ran and Haibara quietly without Shinichi noticing

"Is he serious of bringing this kid?" asked Kogoro
"I think he's serious" said Ran worried
"If it's the brat in glasses, I can manage, but I don't know for getting her involved in this…"
"Dad… I begged you, let Shinichi do what he wanted. He hasn't been resting well ever since Conan-kun got spirited away"
"I know I know… Seriously, when we get that brat back, I will scold him for making everyone worried"
"Let me do the honor… I will make him regret" said Haibara in low voice

The father and daughter can't help to feel scared by the aura that the girl lets out. Haibara sigh as he gets ready to get out. She looked at Shinichi who seems to be holding onto Conan's glasses seriously, which she finds it worrying.


Time Skip~

"I see… That's why Kudou-kun always tired when solving cases with Shinichi-san. To think he needed that much help" thought Haibara as she wrote notes

Four of them are already in the hotel. At first, the manager didn't let them in even though they have the invitation, but they got in with help of Superintendent Akechi who is looking after the party as Mayor Hioki's request. Some time after the toast, suddenly a horrible case happen. Two people got murder at the same time. The first one who got killed is the oldest daughter of one of the VIPs, Tsuchida Sachie. Her mother is the VIP of this island, Tsuchida Fumiko and her sister, Tsuchida Akemi were at the party as well. The second one who got killed is the only son of one of the VIPs, Mizukawa Eiji. His father is the VIP of this island, Mizukawa Sukekichi and his mother, Mizukawa Kanako were at the party as well.

Haibara who becomes Shinichi partner at that moment quickly take out Conan's notebook that Shinichi gave her and started writing of clues that Shinichi mention to her. Superintendent Akechi let him investigate the case since he has to take care the evacuation in the hotel

"Shinichi-kun!" shout Miyuki as she entered the room
"Ah Miyuki-san, how?" asked Shinichi
"No good, Mouri-san is too drunk and asleep on the sofa outside"
"Seriously… Oh well, good thing Superintendent Akechi letting me looking into this case"

Shinichi eyes change to serious as he looked around the crime scene restless and made everyone worried, especially Miyuki. Haibara sigh as she understands why Ran ask her to be Shinichi's brake, so she quickly went to him

"Shinichi-san, I know you are desperate to get Kudou-kun back, but you need to calm down" said Haibara in low voice
"I'm a calm-"
"No you're not, you are sure that the culprit who killed them is connected to the ones who make the spirited away happening. Calm down and solve this case patiently to get better results and evidences"
"Ah… You're right… Thanks Haibara" said Shinichi sigh

With Haibara helping Shinichi with the investigation. They manage to get some clues from the crime scene and also questioning the VIPs based on the positions when Sukekichi making the toast, which is the exact same time as the crime happened. They also found out that Sachie can't drink alcohol from her fiancé, so they concluded that the poison that killed her is somewhere else. Few moments later, Shinichi, Superintendent Akechi, Miyuki and Haibara talk about the case and the clues that they got

"I see, then we can conclude that the poison was in her water glass" said Superintendent Akechi
"Yes…" said Shinichi serious
"I'm actually already look for the waiter who brings the water, but he disappeared after the crime"
"Eh? Is it true?!"
"Yes… That's why I'm thinking to look after him"
"Let's do it together. It's better this way after all" said Haibara serious
"Alright"

After that, they look after the waiter. Superintendent Akechi look at the first floor while the others are about to go up

"Let's split up then" said Miyuki
"Haibara, you go with Miyuki-san. I will search alone" said Shinichi
"Alright" said Haibara nodded

Few moments later

Superintendent Akechi found the waiter and he was locked in the storage and he already questioned him along with Haibara and Miyuki. Haibara tried to contact Shinichi through the badge, but he didn't answer it which she finds it weird, but she tried to move along for now and hear the questioning. After that, both of them went out. Haibara quickly contact Professor Agasa

"Professor! Are you there?" asked Haibara
"Yes, sorry Ai-kun but things are very serious here" said Professor through the badge
"What's wrong?"
"Someone shut Shinichi-kun in one of the hotel room and give Sanae a letter for Mouri-kun saying that Shinichi-kun is kidnapped. Ran-kun went there to save him, so Shinichi-kun is going there as well after hearing that Ran-kun is going to the forest"
"Are they alright?" asked Miyuki worried
"They haven't contacted me afterwards. I hope they're okay"

Just as Haibara end the call, Shinichi arrived from the front door which relief both of them

"Are you alright, Shinichi-kun?" asked Miyuki worried
"Yeah… I manage to get Ran out safely and she should be going back to the inn" said Shinichi sigh
"Seriously. Edogawa-kun will not be happy if something happen to both of you" said Haibara
"Hahahaha I will keep that in mind. So, do you get any new information?"

Haibara told him the information that she got, which he can't help to smirk as if he finally understood the case now. With that, he asked Miyuki to tell Superintendent Akechi to bring the suspects back to the crime scene for his deduction show


Time Skip~

Shinichi with Haibara's help quickly point out the culprit which to be Akemi who killed both Sachie and Eiji. Of course that conclusion shock all adults, especially Fumiko, her mother. Never in her dreams that the one who killed her eldest daughter is actually her own youngest daughter. Akemi tried to dodge every deduction that Shinichi uses but Shinichi played with her own game as she unconsciously confesses that she know about the crossbow that killed Eiji which make her surprised. Superintendent Akechi also help Shinichi by bluffing her about the glass of water that was used to kill Sachie which indeed got her completely into confessing for the crimes.

"Save me Higure-san…"

Akemi's words grab everyone's attention in the room and of course the two VIPs were shown to be surprised and angered by the name that Akemi just let out, which of course grab Shinichi and Superintendent Akechi's attention. As they about to ask, suddenly someone laughing by the back which to be the waiter that was locked at the storage

"I get it now… What an interesting show, but that was fun… It was too long!" shout the waiter

All of them are surprised by the waiter's change of look. Haibara told Shinichi that his name is Asami Kyoutarou. Shinichi already been suspicious of him since he is the one who hold onto the poison water for Sachie.

"So you're the one who called out Ran?" asked Shinichi in anger
"Oh that girl? Yeah, I was going to let out that detective, but she's the only one who showed up. I assume she's okay, right? You're welcome!" said Asami laughing
"This bastard!" thought Shinichi unhappy

Asami also told them that he used Higure name to scare the VIPs, which he really did. He also mentioned that he heard Shinichi's deduction from the start which he rated to be 90% because there was a missed in the deduction which is about the poisoned water. It turns out that the one who prepare and also disposed the evidence is him and not Akemi.

He also confessed as the culprit of the serial bombing that is happening in Twilight island and also the culprit that Superintendent Akechi is trying to catch, but before he did that, he threatens them with a bomb in hand. He said that he needed to take care of unfinished business before settling with Superintendent Akechi. That phrase caught Shinichi attention immediately as he remembered what Keiko said to both him and Conan.

"That unfinished business is for revenge right, Ichinose Keiko mentioned 'we' in her sentences. It was you and your friends right?" asked Shinichi serious
"Man you are an interesting detective. Just as interesting as that boy in glasses that we took with his loud friends" said Asami
"Eh?"

Shinichi eyes change to serious as Asami mentioned Conan. As he almost lost his composure, Miyuki and Haibara manage to stop him. That reaction of course caught Asami very interested, but he keeps it to himself

"Asami-san, what do you mean by that? What makes him interesting?" asked Haibara serious
"Hm! You were too also an interesting girl, both you and that brat in glasses did manage to find something in the projection hall that we can't find" said Asami
"What?!" shout some of the adults

Haibara eyes shot up and try to remember when she and Conan look into the projection hall on their first day in the Twilight Island


Flashback

The two kids are looking into the projection hall, which is empty and there was no show at all. They look around and Conan put his hand on the ground

"What's wrong?" asked Haibara
"This floor… It seems there's something under it" said Conan serious
"Hm?"
"If I remember, this museum was build above the coal mine right?"
"Well, it is what it says in this guidebook"
"What if the coal mine is still under this museum?"
"That… could be possible"

As they look around, they realize a certain thing near the screen that was covered by cloth. They quickly go there and about to open the cloth until someone called them out

"You two! What are you doing?!" asked the staff
"Eh? ah sorry… We just look around and see this thing" said Conan
"Don't touch it, it's owned by the owner of this museum"
"Sorry sorry"

Both of them about to go until Conan notice a budge under the carpet floor. They quickly went out for a moment until the staff is out as well. The two comeback as they see the cost is clear and Conan quickly moved the carpet

"Oi oi what is this" said Conan surprised

As they moved the carpet, much to their surprised to find a door on the floor

"You don't think that this is a way to the coal mine?" asked Haibara
"Hmm… But it's locked. Well we can't burst inside, so we just have to wait for the owner to come and open this door. Not to mention, we don't know what is inside it, so we should tell the adults later on"
"You're right"

Both of them cover the door with the carpet again and goes out from the projection hall

Back to present


"You don't mean… The door to the coal mine?" asked Haibara serious
"Yes! Man, I can't believe that some kids manage to find that door. I'm basically laughing my heart out when I see you two found it" said Asami laughing
"Oi… Why both of you didn't tell me?" asked Shinichi serious to Haibara
"Sorry, must have slipped through our mind" said Haibara
"If there's a door, why did you have to go through bombing it?" asked Superintendent Akechi
"Why? Wouldn't it be a great show? I mean making fireworks is my job after all" said Asami smirking
"This man is crazy" thought Shinichi angrily

Asami smirk as he walks slowly holding a bomb in his hand. All the adults started to get scared by his move except Akemi who's very happy seeing him.

"I want to finish our meeting here, but… I have other things to do with these VIPs so that should wait" said Asami serious
"Wait, tell me… Why did you make the spirited away phenomenon… Where did you put those people?" asked Shinichi
"Hm! It was actually not part of the plan… But oh well… I guess you better pray that your precious friends are safe"

Shinichi eyes change to serious hearing what Asami said and suddenly he let out a light bomb. Few moments later after the light faded, they notice that not only Asami is gone but also Sukekichi and Fumiko also gone.


Time Skip~

Superintendent Akechi is finishing things up in the hotel while the others goes back to the inn. They also called Professor Agasa to help take Kogoro who's drunk. As they walk, Shinichi can't help to regret not to press further about the spirited away, so they can get information about where Conan is. Haibara sigh as she walks closer to him

"You should be grateful to me" said Haibara
"Eh?" asked Shinichi
"Actually, in that chaotic moment, I secretly put my badge in Mizukawa-san's pocket"
"Wait a minute, then…"
"Yes, if Asami-san did bring them to that island where Kudou-kun and the others are, I'm sure he also meet him right, that detective. That way, we can have more direct communication with him"
"Yeah… I can't believe you did all that"
"If Kudou-kun is here, I'm sure he will do the same. I'm just trying to think if I'm him, then what would I do to help you. That's all"

Shinichi smile by Haibara's words which he can't help to feel grateful by his brother's partner skills which he did proud of every time he tells about his fun times with detective boys.

"Haibara, thank you for being my partner there. You really helped me out" said Shinichi
"Yes yes… Now I understand why Kudou-kun is always tired. I really needed to give him more credit" said Haibara sigh
"Wait, what did you do when you help him?"
"The hardest thing he asked me to look for information but taking notes and filtering information… He never asked me that"
"Hahaha sorry, really got used to Conan's fast instinct, but you are seriously identical to him, so I can't help myself"
"I don't mind… It seems you also needed me too"
"Eh?"

Shinichi stop his movement as he looked at the girl beside him

"You ask me to be your partner because you feel Kudou-kun's presence from me, right? Since we both have the same education history" said Haibara as she folded her hands
"So you notice huh… Yes, I don't why but when you helped me out, it really reminds me on how Conan help me out. It makes me calm too, so I don't remember the fact that I'm separated from him" said Shinichi sigh as he bends down to Haibara's size
"I see, seriously here I thought you are more mature than him, but it turns out you're more childish than him"
"Oi oi"
"Kudou-kun witness you almost die many times, yet he is still strong to do what he needed to do. You should try to learn more from him"
"You are the second last person to tell me about that"

Haibara just sigh as she walks away from Shinichi which the high schooler catch up with him

Few moments later

Shinichi is already inside their inn room and he looked at Conan's phone seriously. He took out Conan's notebook and look into the last note that he made which he sighs

"This is bad… Being separate with him knowing that he's taken away made me angry to myself" thought Shinichi as he held his head

Suddenly his heartbeat goes faster and his mind goes straight to his little brother. The high schooler was shock by the unexpected feeling going through his body. He did feel something when he was investigating at the hotel but this time, the feeling was stronger

"What is this… Did something happen to you, Conan?" thought Shinichi serious

Suddenly someone hug him from behind which to be Ran. Shinichi got shock by the sudden hug and got blush by it

"Shinichi… Calm down" said Ran in low voice
"Ran…" said Shinichi surprised
"I was surprised hearing fast breathing when I went in here and you didn't even notice my presence"
"Ah sorry"
"Did something happen?"
"No, it's just, I have a feeling that something happen to Conan… I can't get a grip about it"

Ran let go and then face Shinichi serious. The high schooler just surprise by Ran's sudden move, but he let her

"Conan-kun will be fine. He is very strong and smart after all so believe in him to survive there and you focus on what is going on in here, so we can get a lead of where Conan-kun is" said Ran as she held onto Shinichi's shoulder
"Ran… You're right, I must have been messed up awful huh" said Shinichi sigh
"It's normal for you to feel this after what happened to both of you, but you have to calm down, so we can save Conan-kun and the others faster. Miyuki-san also missed her friend as much as you missed Conan-kun"
"Alright… Thank you Ran, you sure can handle this kind of situations"
"Actually, it's based on my experience"
"Experience"
"I shouldn't tell you this but actually Conan-kun always feel what you feel now for months after you saved him in Tropical Land. Every time you ask Conan-kun to stay with me due to cases, he had a hard time to sleep normally"
"He did?!"

Ran just smile as she remembered clearly when she found out Conan's true feelings about being separated from Shinichi for the first time


Flashback

Ran was about to go out from her room in the middle of the night until she realizes that someone is sitting on the floor near the table, which to be Conan

"Conan-kun…" thought Ran surprised

Suddenly, she can hear Conan's breathing becomes faster, so she dashes out and hug him from behind. Of course, it surprised the grade schooler

"Ran… neechan" said Conan surprised
"Conan-kun… Calm down, is something wrong?" asked Ran worried
"No… I'm fine"

Ran just stay hugging him, which made Conan surprised. He then sighs and can't help that he felt slightly calm down by her hug, so he just let her as he rests his head onto Ran's hug and close his eyes

"I lied… I'm not fine" said Conan in low voice
"You can tell me anything Conan-kun… What's wrong?" said Ran with a calming voice
"I… I'm scared. What if something happen to Shinichi-niichan… I already witness him almost died in front of me and what happen if he suddenly died without me realizing it"

The high schooler can't help to feel the pain in Conan's voice while Conan hold onto Ran's arm that is around his body. She pat Conan's head to calm him down

"Conan-kun… Shinichi is very strong, yes he might be reckless, but I'm sure he can protect himself and return to you safe and healthy. That's why throw away those thoughts and fears inside you" said Ran
"Ran-neechan…"
"I will be here to keep you company as a substitute for him. That's why, calm down… You are free to ask me if you needed someone to accompany you in this kind of time. I will be there for you, Conan-kun"
"Alright… Thank you Ran-neechan…"

The boy can't help to smile by the warmth of Ran's hug and Ran herself patting Conan's head to tell him that he's not alone right now

Back to present


"I see… So he has been through all of that huh" said Shinichi
"I'm sure you can heal up Shinichi, Conan-kun did manage to hold onto those feelings together. Through he did take months too" said Ran
"Hahaha I think I can only let time heal as well. Thanks Ran, you saved me there"
"Hehe, now let's get some sleep. You did say you want to investigate more tomorrow. Let's hope that we can get lead to the island where Conan-kun is"
"Yeah you're right"

Shinichi smile thankful to Ran as he looked at Conan's phone serious


Time Skip~

In the afternoon, Shinichi tried to contact Kindaichi to the badge that Haibara left in Sukekichi's pocket and it got through to the detective on the other side. Kindaichi then told them his situation right now involving the murder of Sukekichi disguise as one of the tragedy 25 years ago being repeated. He also asked Shinichi to look into some things from that island, which Shinichi agreed. Before Shinichi turn off, he asked a question to Kindaichi

"Kindaichi… May I ask, did you happen to meet some group of kids?" asked Shinichi serious through the badge
"Yes I did… Man they're noisy to be honest" said Kindaichi through the badge
"Hahaha they are like that, I beg you to keep them safe, especially the boy that helped you there. He can be stubborn and reckless, but he's a great partner when it comes to investigating a case, so keep him around you"
"O-oh yeah, I will…"

Shinichi eyes seems surprised by the answer that was let out. He can't help to feel something is not right, but before he continues suddenly the badge signal comes off which seems weird, but then he thinks positively that it must be the signal there is bad, so he just sighs as he walked out from the room

On the other side

"I'm sorry… But the one that you ask me to keep close was actually the farthest… After what happened to him, I don't know how to explain the truth to you when you find a way to get here" said Kindaichi serious as he looked at the badge in his hand

Kindaichi look outside the window showing angry people outside the building and then look up to the sky seriously
