Hi everyone! (what the hell am I doing here, trying to bother all of you?)

Keep reading!

Megure already knows where to start the investigation.

The police had already lined up the entire street of #33 Fire Dragon Street 9:56 in the morning. Too early, as others could imply. But they don't care at what other people say. The best thing that they have to do is find Conan.

And figure out what he's up to.

The inspector stood at the opening of the street as he glanced at each of his officers finding clues inside the house. He found something strange; there weren't any people that went outside. All the police tried to inform the people, but it seems like they didn't hear. Megure concluded that they were still sleeping. But what if there was more to that?

A few minutes passed before Takagi went to Megure. "Inspector, we just noticed that there wasn't a person in this street. Not one." he said. Megure nodded his head in understanding. "We tried searching for persons, but there was none. Knocking led to no response, Inspector."

Maybe this street is abandoned, Megure thought of a theory. Since there wasn't a person living in this street, I wonder...

"Sir!" One of the officers shouted. "I found a man! He is tied up here! There is even a note tucked at his back!" the officer called, grabbing the said note and waved it in the air for them to see.

They ran towards the officer. Sato took the note and read what it said. And guess who it was from.

"THIS IS THE MAN WHO KIDNAPPED ME. - CONAN"

Conan again!? Sato thought. Just like what he mentioned yesterday on the text.

Sato gave the note to Megure, who's eyes widened in shock, then turned into a serious but angered face. He forwarded toward the sleeping man, who was still snoring off.

A few minutes passed by. After waiting for the man to wake up, he finally did. The man was so shocked to see that police officers were around him. He then glanced towards Inspector Megure's face, who's eyes were burning with anger.

"Where's the kid?" asked Megure sternly.

The man shrugged. Megure grabbed the man by the collar, causing the man's eyes to go on shock. "Where is he?!" Megure asked, his voice hinting extreme seriousness. "Who asked you to kidnap him and why?!"

The man shivered. "H-H-He escaped! I was asked by mysterious black-clothed people to kidnap him! I don't know why they want me to do it! All I know is that they asked me to bring him here and leave him for them to get him later!" he replied nervously.

Megure had a questioning look. He then looked over to the other officers. He let go of the man, causing a loud thump. Megure then leaned down to him. "Do you know who the mysterious men are?" he asked. The man shook his head.

The inspector stood up. Officers untied the rope of the man and handcuffed his hands. "Charge him for attempted kidnapping," Sato said. The officers nodded and went back to the police station.

Sato was about to follow the officers when she noticed that Megure is still standing beside the spot where they found the suspect. "Inspector, what's wrong?" she asked.

Megure went silent for a moment. Then he spoke up. "You go on ahead to the station. I'll inform Ran and the others about our discovery." he said. Sato nodded at this and continued to walk towards the police cars.

The cars drove away, leaving one more for car for Megure to drive on. Before Megure left, he still had something in mind that makes him much more confused.

Who are those mysterious black-clothed men the suspect is talking about?

Ran is still worrying about Conan until today.

She couldn't sleep this time. No, not because of her dreams (good thing for her, the dreams have subsided slowly), but because of Conan. She is still worrying about him until now.

Right now, she was laying on her bed with lots of thoughts in mind, sometimes making her lost. He be like Shinichi right now? Disappearing then reappearing? she thought, sighing with worry. She covered her face with a pillow, trying not to seek for problems again.

"Ran! Sonoko's here!" she heard her father call her. Ran felt conscious as she stood up, wearing her slippers and getting down the stairs.

When she arrived at the sala, she saw Sonoko sitting on the couch with a worried look on the face, too. "Sonoko?" Ran called. This was the reason why Sonoko lifted her head, seeing Ran. "Ran! I've heard about the brat's runaway news!" she said as she stood up from the couch and hugged her best friend.

Ran giggled sarcastically. "Sonoko with the brat joke again..." She muttered. Sonoko let go of their hug and snorted at Ran's comment. "He's a brat! Evidence is that he ran away from you."

"No, Sonoko, he didn't run away!" Ran explained. "Conan would never run away. He doesn't have the attitude to run away!"

Sonoko looked at Ran. "Hahahaha. Was just kidding with you." Sonoko admitted. "But let's just hope that brat still has his body until we find him."

Ran gulped at Sonoko's statement.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ran went to open the door for the visitor. If the person knocking on the door is Conan, I will not hesitate to spank his ass off! she thought, the imagination of Conan knocking on the door present in her mind.

She got the wrong imagination like last time when she opened the door.

"Oh, hello, Ran," Inspector Megure smiled as he stood in front of the entry way of the door. "Where's your father?"

Ran sweatdropped a bit, but smiled as hard as she can. "He's right here, Inspector! Come in!" she said as she invited him inside.

"Good," he said.

"Because I'm afraid that I have news for you and your father about Conan."

R&R!
