A gunshot echoed in the air followed by a gasp of pain. A body fell in the ground with a thud. And with that, Kudo Shinichi is dead.

Chapter 2: Perfect Criminal

The man in black smiled; satisfied with his job He moved towards the teenage body and reached for his wrist to check the pulse and found nothing. 'At last everything is on motion. The game is finally starting' he thought to himself. Kudo Shinichi is finally dead. The brat who escaped their clutches is finally in his right place.

"So is the detective dead?" the man in the transceiver exasperatingly asked. The man otherwise known as Gin is the very same man that failed to kill the teenager months ago. He was very annoyed to know that he failed and this caused a very big problem to the organization. To think that a newbie finished the job that was supposed to be his. And the worst thing is, this newbie looks like to be Vermouth's favourite so obviously the Boss favoured him since the Boss likes Vermouth.

"Yeah. Dead like what he is supposed to be if someone here did not fail." Asti teasingly said. He never liked Gin for some reasons that only him knows. Nobody knew his reasons well except Vermouth. But nevertheless, he hates Gin and never hesitates to show it if given a chance like this one. And Gin failing, oh what a great chance it is. He likes rubbing the failure on his face. Reminding him of the mess he created and that it is he, Asti who cleaned it up before it gets much bigger.

"Whatever. Just come back here and remember not to leave any traces behind. The police would thoroughly investigate this case like their life depended on it. Remember this kid is known to be their saviour so of course, they will treat this case special." Gin said trying his best not to get mad. He could not lose his composure; he could not afford to show more weaknesses to this guy.

"As if I will fail. I am not like anybody here, you know." Asti said still trying to get the other guy mad. Oh how he likes to see himself getting on Gin's nerves. And as much as he likes to annoy Gin, he is right. He still needs to clean this mess, to clean this free from evidences. So with that, the man stood up and started cleaning. He then went into a place where he placed the gasoline beforehand. He spilled them around and threw a lighter to set a fire. Seeing the fire getting bigger, he decided to leave. He got into his motorcycle and started his journey with a black car following him from behind.

A few days later...

"The victim's identity is finally revealed. According to the police, the DNA matched with Kudo Shinichi's. Yes, the victim is indeed Kudo Shinichi. " a reporter said.

"Shit!" a lady police officer cursed. She is mad with the development they are getting. They found no clues, no evidences, and no traces. It is like a perfect crime. They tried asking for private detectives' help but with no avail, even the 'Great' Kogorou Mouri could not find anything.

"Sato-san calm down. We would find something. There is no such thing as perfect crime. There should be something. Something that the culprit overlooked." Takagi Wataru tried to calm his comrade down. This is very a tight time for them. Having a very hard case with nowhere to begin with is not nice. And to think that the victim is Kudo Shinichi, the detective who helped them in cases like this. So they had no one to go to now. Good thing Hattori Heiji together with the Osaka Police decided to help them. The other prefectures also assisted them but still even with a great amount of people investigating the case they still did not move or progress. The criminal is so smart; he knew where the police and detectives would start looking. He knew about the common mistakes and miscalculations a criminal would usually make. It was as if he was trained to spot them. He was like a detective, a great detective to be exact. 'Well, it has been said that the greatest detective are the greatest criminals' he said to himself before continuing his job.

Somewhere in Japan

In a room, people are dressed in black discussing serious and important matters. High-ranking members and the members of the organization who are involved with the case are inside the room talking about recent events, most importantly the success of eradicating Kudo Shinichi.

"Looks like you succeeded in your mission, Asti. You really eliminated the threat. I was not wrong in trusting you. Of course, as expected by Vermouth's apprentice." the Boss said congratulating Asti for a job well done.

"Thank you Sir. It was really nothing. Just threatened the detective with his weakness and he would follow what you order him. Speaking of which, I would like to ask everyone not to touch his friends or his family. " the man said trying to keep his smile from creeping to his face. He is happy for the Boss's compliment and for seeing Gin's scowl face. Really, he loves torturing the guy.

"You are really a newbie. You are telling us to let those maggots live. Are you stupid?" Gin said trying to act as calm as ever. What is this guy thinking, letting those people live? They obviously know something and if they will not be silenced as soon as possible, their secret would be out in the public eye.

""It is you who is stupid Gin. Do you really-" Asti tried to answer but he was cut off by Gin.

"Who are you calling stupid. I am just trying to train you, newbie. Don't go softie there and kill those damn people. If you want to protect our secret then kill everyone who knew about it before it reached the police's ears.'" Gin said trying to knock some sense to the guy across him.

"Stop it!" the Boss shouted, halting the two men from arguing to each other before it goes overboard. "Asti I would like to hear your explanation on the thing you have just suggested" the Boss continued now facing to the guy southeast to his location.

"What I am telling is that it would be useless Boss. The police would clearly protect those people 24/7. Thus, not only giving us a hard time but also give us risks in getting ourselves discovered and caught. Obviously, some birdie would have told her comrade about our assault and the tides would not be in our favour. FBI, CIA or whatever reinforcements they could get would be waiting for us to come and fall into their trap. And if keeping our secret is the motivation then it is useless. For that birdie was already feeding classified information about us to other people. " He said trying to reason out. He is trying to tell people that what he was asking them to do is for the betterment of their organization. And the Boos agreed.

"You do have a point but what do you mean by the term birdie" the Boss asked, curious. That name birdie really caught his attention. What does Asti mean by that birdie feeding classified information to other people? Who is this birdie? And who is this birdie working for?

"When I said birdie Sir, I was referring to a spy." he said calmly as if he was just telling the weather. He then looked at people's face, trying to see if he got the reaction he wanted. And he did. For some of their reactions were shocked, some were confused while the others were angry. And when his brown eyes met the eyes with a member known as Kir, he was greeted with fear. 'Well now is the time to show some of his cards, isn't it? Time to get the ball rolling.' He thought to himself. So without turning around, as his gazed still focused to Kir he then said "Yes a spy, a CIA spy to be exact"

Looks like Asti also knows about Kir's secret. How much do you think Asti knows? And why does he hate Gin so much? Read and Review.
