You have GOT to be kidding me thought the Phantom Detective as he looked at the toy stores newest line up.
Danny Phantom toys lined the shelves.
I can see Danny's head exploding now…
"Hey Conan, just the kid I wanted to see."
Conan quickly put on his childish persona, wondering why Megure wanted to talk to him. Usually it took him and the kids showing up the Inspector's current team before he was eligible to be noticed.
"I was wondering if you'd heard from Kudo lately. He's your cousin right? How's he doing, in good health? Has he been by recently?"
Suspicion grew in Conan's mind. "I haven't heard from Shinichi-niichan in a while but he was doing fine last I heard from him. And I don't think he's in the area, otherwise he would have tried to see Ran-neechan."
"Right." Megure looked unconvinced. "Well if you hear anything, let me know."
"Will do." What was that all about?
S$
I wonder if Danny even knows about the toys. Maybe I should let him know. Heh, that would be funny, him haunting a toy factory.
Once again Conan's concentration on the unapproved marketing of his friend was interrupted, this time by a glowing blue butterfly. The small insect fluttered into his hand and in a flash of light became a piece of paper.
Hmm, Takagi's getting better at magic, all that practice Sato forces on him must be paying off. Lets see:
'Kudo, you have GOT to be more careful, what were you thinking? -T'
…Okaaaaaaaaay
S$
"Yes, I'm sure. I think the company producing them was Bundai. Umm, no I'm not sure a ghost can legally sue. Oh, Ran's here, got to go, bye." Conan hung up the phone. Ran regard him with a raised eyebrow.
He could take it no more "What?"
Ran tossed him a newspaper, one of the supermarket tabloids. He looked at the first page and his jaw dropped at the professionally drawn sketch of his face in ghost mode.
'…All the robber was able to give police was a sketch of the ghost who had scared him into confession. As anyone can plainly see, the resemblance is strong with long-missing teen detective Kudo Shinichi. Due to the fact that his attacker was able to fly and walk through walls, we believe it was in fact a ghost.
To make matters more intriguing, several people report seeing the same ghostly apparition near the docks and warehouse district, almost always directly before a successful police raid on the area in question.
Is the restless spirit of our former savior still watching out from us from beyond the grave? Has the recent success of our police report been due to tips from beyond? How did Kudo Shinichi meet his death and why hasn't there been an investigation into it?
Conan's jaw dropped. "Oh dear…"
S$$S
YumeTakato: #giggles# Oh was there aftermath. And while Shinichi needs to pull more pranks, he can't pull too many, otherwise how would we tell him from Kaito.
