"Red and Blue?" Shinichi asked, Ran nodded "If it was me, I will cut…"

Ran listens patiently

"Ran Oi Ran" Kogoro shakes Ran "It's time to go"

She awoke and got up slowly.

"Ran-neechan, what's wrong? Your face is all red." Conan asked, he noticed that she is blushing.

"Ah, nothing" Ran said, smile knowingly and walk away. "Nothing at all"

Conan looked at her, confused.

"We aren't there yet?" Kogoro asked while still driving.

"We are almost there" Ran answered.

"Wait, there is someone there" He said when he saw someone on the side of the road.

"Their car may be broken down" Conan says, *cough**cough* then slide a cold mask to his mouth.

"Don't speak too much, Conan-kun, or you'll lose your voice" Ran said, he nod. "Oh I just remembered, hakase asked me to give 'Detective Boys' badge to you" and take the badge out of her shirt pocket.

"Can you keep it for me for awhile?

"Of course" Then she put the badge back into her pocket.

Kogoro parked the car next to the two women, he scrolls a windshield down. "What happened to your car, beautiful young ladies?"

"Our car ran out of fuel" One of the women said.

"We are going to the 'Dawn of Hope' mansion. You're going there too, right? Can we go with you?" Another woman said.

"Of course" Kogoro said willingly.

"Thank you very much" They said at the same time, close their umbrellas and sit in the car. One at a seat beside Kogoro, another in a backseat beside Ran.

The drive continued.

"Excuse me, but are you The 'Sleeping Kogoro'? A woman beside Kogoro asked.

"Yes, I'm the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, one and only." He said confidently.

"Wow, awesome!" Woman in the back seat said "We are freelance journalists, my name is Narumi Daito."

"And I'm Kaaka Omotani" Woman beside Kogoro said.

"Nice to meet you" Speak at the same time.

"Nice to meet you, too" Kogoro replied. "Sitting behind me is my daughter, Ran Mouri."

"Nice to meet you" Ran said and smiles at Narumi and Kaaka.

"And that is Conan Edogawa,"

"Nice to meet you"

"A freeloader" Kogoro finished. Conan stares at him, annoyed.

"Conan-kun, you catch a cold?" Kaaka asked because she saw that Conan wore a mask.

"Ah, yes"

"I had a cold medicine, take this and you will feel better." She said and hand him a medicine that was in her handbag.

Conan thanked her and takes the medicine.

"Your necklace really suits you" Kogoro said when he saw Kaaka's bead necklace.

"Thank you" Kaaka reach her hand to touch the necklace, but pulled back immediately. "It was a keepsake of someone important to me"

"We're here" Kogoro said and drove into the parking lot.

After that, everyone gets out of a car.

"Wow, this mansion is so big!" Ran walk to the front of the mansion and amazed at the vastness of it.
