This story is about if Conan and Shinichi were both the same person and not the same person at the same time. Instead of Shinichi turning into a child, Shinichi was duplicated, and his double was a child with an identical nervous system (Brain, memories, personality, mind, intelligence, etc.).

Detective of the West

"Scuse me! I'm looking for a Shinichi Kudo! He is known as the Sherlock Holmes of the West. He is about age 17 and occasionally seen walking in and out of this detective agency. Completely disappeared from the Earth. Do you know where I can find him?" A dark skinned teenager with an Osakan accent yelled after barging straight into the office.

"Yes, Shinichi, call again soon, looks like we have a client." Ran hung up.

"Why do you care where Shinichi-niichan is?" Conan, the sudo-child said. Following this question Conan went into a coughing fit due to his bad cold.

"Well, I am the Great Detective of the West, Hattori Heiji! I came here to show that cocky Holmes of the East who the real Holmes is! Hah!" The Osakan detective laughed.

Ran looked uncomfortable with this person interrogating her about Shinichi, especially as he had told her not to tell anyone about his current location, not that she knew where he was, "Uhm… I d-don't know where he is…" She lied.

"Oh, is he in hiding? Not wanting people to know where he is? Or does he just not want people to know how much worse he than me! Osaka is way better than Tokyo!" Hattori laughed, "Thing is, I can deduce by that phone call that he has been watching you, he didn't ask if you were okay, or how you were doing or anything like that, now did he?"

"N-no, he didn't, but I know he wouldn't do something like that!" Ran said, but now she was starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Hey! Ran-neechan! How about we call Shinichi-niichan! He wouldn't want to let this cocky wannabe to beat him!" Conan said, but suddenly dropped into a sudden fit of coughs. He didn't really care about beating the High School Detective, he just thought it could be fun. If this kid was at the same level as himself then the case he is using for a competition must be amazingly difficult.

"Hey, brat, I have this really good cure for colds, do you want some?" The Osakan detective offered.

"S-sure." Conan agreed after another coughing fit.

As Heiji Hattori poured Conan some of the medicine, Mouri walked in. "Is this a client?" Mouri yawned.

"Ahh! You must be Sleeping Kogoro! I've been looking forward to meeting you! I'm looking for my high school detective rival Kudo Shinichi. I thought since you are such a great detective and since you know the kid you might be able to help me find him!" Heiji Hattori said knowingly.

As Conan drank the medicine thinking,' Maybe it wasn't a good idea to have Ran invite Shinichi to join the competition, he seems to suspect Mouri…' he suddenly got dizzy. His throat burned. His mental powers failed him. He looked at ran and said incoherently, "Hey baby…" and fell over.

"What did you give him?" Ran screamed fearfully.

"Hmm? It is a homemade remedy for colds, it's a strong alcohol called baijiu." The Osakan detective said blankly.

"Moah! Conan is underage! He can't drink that stuff!" Ran said, exasperated.

Later, when Conan faints and Hattori finished his deduction.

"And that is how it was done!" Hattori Heiji said.

"Heh, brilliant, almost worthy of the title Highschool Detective of the West. But not quite right. That murder is impossible." A moaning Shinichi said.

"K-Kudo! B-But how? I mean, how is my theory impossible?" The Osakan asked, exasperated. He didn't think that Kudo would actually show up.

"I'd rather be told where you've been these last few months!" The Inspector complained.

"Look in his pocket, sure, the key is there, but look closer, the key isn't in the inner pocket like it was originally. Besides there was fishing line in all the rooms, not just the father's." Shinichi said, ignoring the inspector, and holding onto his forehead. He was obviously in great pain. "It was the wife, after she found out that her now-dead husband had been the cause of her previous husband's death and that her daughter was the girlfriend of her now-dead husband's son (With his previous wife). She put her husband to sleep before she hired you guys and poisoned her husband with a needle that is now hidden in her key chain. Take a look. There is a spot for a needle in her keychain. The reason that the father admitted to the crime he didn't commit is to repent for helping his son illegally steal Kimie from her husband."

"It's true! The key is in the outer pocket, not the inner one! Wait, hold it Kudo, did you say daughter?" Megure-Keibu asked.

"Yes, after her father was sent to jail the custody of Yukiko was given to Yamoshiro's (Yamoshiro is the original husband) family. I noticed this when I saw the picture over there. It showed that Kimie looked a lot like Yukiko when she was her age. Will you admit to your crimes Kimie-san?" Shinichi answered.

"Hold it Kudo, how do you know so much when you weren't even here?" Hattori accused.

"I simply called up the four eyed kid, it was hard to understand what he was saying but once I got the gist I knew everything." Shinichi said, then thought to himself 'Sheesh, this was such an interesting case yet I don't even get to make all the deductions on my own. Sheesh.'

"Yes! It was me! You were right about everything!" The wife said, and as she was being escorted out of the room, she asked her daughter's boyfriend to take care of Yukiko for her.

"Sh-Shinichi?" Ran yelled as she saw the sick detective.

"Hi Ran, just solved the case, I gotta go now, but bye." Shinichi said as his migraine got progressively worse.

"Sh-Shinichi!" Ran said, "You're obviously in pain,"

"No, I'm fine." Shinichi yelled, but Ran was still worried.

Hattori walked up to Kudo and said, "Well, I guess you won, I got too caught up in the contest that I failed to see I was wrong from the beginning."

"Baro, there is no point competing as there is only one truth." Shinichi answered.

"Yeah, you're right. Also, how come you don't ask how your girl is doing when you call her? And how did you get here so quickly?" Hattori asked.

"Y-you've been stalking me haven't you, you've been laughing at me and my concerns behind my back!"

"Baro, I haven't been stalking you. I'm a detective, I can tell how someone I've known for years is doing by what she says and how she says it. Besides, when I talk to Conan-kun he'll always tell me everything about Ojisan's most recent case or anything else I ask." Shinichi responded, then lurched forward.

"Hey, Kudo, are you alright?" The Osakan asked.

"I'm fine, just a bit of a cold." Shinichi said as he fell onto his knees.

"Are you sure?"

"I'll go get the doctor, you wait here!" Ran yelled.

"W-wait, I'm fine, I d-don't need the doctor!" Shinichi yelled right before lurching forward yet again. He thought to himself, 'What if it has something to do with the drug? I need to get to Conan-kun quickly! Maybe we'll turn back to one person again!'

"Megure-keibu, keep me out of the news, my help in this investigation was confidential," Shinichi then limped to the hallway and saw Conan's door wide open. 'Crap, he must be in the bathroom downstairs.'

"Shinichi! I got the doctor. Wait, Shinichi!" Ran yelled as Shinichi fell down the stairs, but when she got to the edge of the stairs she only saw the blue jacket that he had been wearing. Wait, that door just closed...

"He is in the bathroom!" Ran yelled.

Ran, Hattori, and the doctor hurried to the bathroom, but when they opened the door it was only Conan, and he was wearing the same shirt Shinichi had been under his jacket. Conan had the toilet bowl open, it looked like he was about to puke, but he said, "If you're looking for Shinichi he climbed out the window as soon as he heard you yell…" Conan fainted. (Shinichi was wearing the same shirt as Conan by coincidence, the reason Conan was wearing it was because it was easier to move in while sick than his normal clothing.)

The next week at Doctor Agasa's

"Conan, do you really think this will work? I mean, it is just alcohol." Shinichi asked.

"What else could have been the cause for the recalibration of our memories?" Conan asked. (That is to say the Baijiu gave Conan all the memories Shinichi made in the last few months, and gave Shinichi all the memories Conan had made in the last few months.)

"I suppose, I guess we'll each drink half a container and hope for the best." Shinichi asked, though he was worried.

Although Shinichi had never drinken the Baijiu before, it still had no effect on either of them besides making them extremely drunk. Shinichi tried stuffing Conan into his body with physical force while Conan tried ramming his head into Shinichi's stomach.

'Ugh, I feel terrible, I hope I never have to drink Baijiu again.' Conan and Shinichi both thought the next morning.

End of Holmes Freak Murder Case

"Hey, you're Kudo, aren't you?" Hattori said looking down upon Conan.

"W-w-what are you talking about? I'm a kid. Just a kid." Conan said nervously.

"Stop playing games, your Kansai dialect is terrible!" Hattori said, kneeling so he was at the same height as Conan. He then put his hand on Conan's bow tie and said, "So this is the machine you used to imitate my voice! I saw it through the corner of my eyes."

"I'm not Shinichi-niichan! I can prove it, I'll call him up right now!" Conan said.

Shocked, Hattori thought about it for a moment, and said, "How can I be sure it is really him and not some other guy with nifty gadgets like yours?

"So, when did you come up with this conclusion of yours?" Conan asked.

"'He was the only one who could have committed all three crimes.'" Even though the dialect was odd, the reasoning and expression were unmistakably that of Kudo Shinichi." Hattori said.

"Don't be silly, I'm just a kid!" Conan said nervously.

"Oh, I see. Hey, Ran-san, I've got a very interesting story, you know what, the truth is," Hattori started.

"Wait a second!" Conan yelled.

Later on the bus…

"Wait, you're a clone?" Heiji said near-incredulously.

"More or less, when I, as Shinichi, was poisoned I woke up squished in my own shirt with the older Shinichi. We both had all of our memories but we agreed that it would be best if Shinichi left for America to get help from our parents. Our mom is able to create Perfect Disguises, making anyone look like a completely different person. That way Shinichi could come back as a completely different person resuming a normal life. Of course, I'm going to have to find a way to introduce the new Shinichi to Ran and the others." Conan explained.

"So, while Kudo is doing that you're living at the home of the girl you like?" Hattori asked.

"I didn't say I like her; that tiring girl." Conan muttered embarrassedly.

From behind Ran said, "Oh! You two are getting along well, aren't you?"

"Oh… yeah!" Conan said childishly.

"So you want to know what Kudo said to you last time? He said you were puzzling and hard to bear." Hattori said to get back at the miniature Kudo for shooting him with a sleeping dart.

"Puzzling?" Ran asked.

'You punk!' Conan thought, glaring at Hattori.
