Rukia Kurosaki 357 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 "Find him?" Conan asked, interested now that they had a case for him. The blonde one, Seiji, answered, "Yes, our fellow detective disappeared a few minutes after we got here." "Tantei-san?" Now Conan was extremely interested. "Yes. We all, excepting Kira-san, are attending Ryoka Boy's Academy, which happens to be an elite high school for future police detectives and the like," replied Mura watching Conan through the frames of his glasses. Ran told them she would get her father for this case, slipped on her jacket, and left. Once she had rounded the corner, Minoru suggested they head somewhere else, since Mouri-san would only get in the way of their investigation. Conan agreed, and the five walked to Agasa-hakase's house, chatting as they did so. Well, Seiji tried to chat, but the others only marched silently to the Professor's home. Haibara answered the door, giving Conan a wary glare before allowing the high schoolers in and calling for Agasa. Mura, easily the best speaker, explained their situation. "Under rather odd circumstances, upon linking to a website which claimed to relate to the manga/anime in our world of your life and career known as Detective Conan, we ended up here, in your version of Japan. originally we were in Karuizawa, but when we discovered a map providing the location of your Detective Agency, we decided to pay you a visit. However, Natake-san went running off at mention of some arson case in the area, and we haven't seen him since." Rather than try to deduce where Natake-san was, he decided to get to the area, and called Hattori. "Oi, Kudo, what's up?" he said, answering the cell phone. "I'm going to be in the area for a case, so if you could meet me at the train, that would be great." Heiji-kun agreed and hung up. Even on vacation? he thought. Then Kazuha started calling him, "Ahou," again. "You just interrupted me in the middle of a compliment on your deduction at that last case for a call from Kudo?!" she shouted. Then she broke off. "Heiji-kun, why is there a huge crowd over there?" At that moment Hattori followed the stares of the massive group to see a man leap from an apartment window about 50 yards away, and another, taller man standing shocked behind where the other had been. 45 minutes later he left the buiding with Kazuha, having solved the case. It was in fact suicide, although rare in his line of work. There was no possible trick to make the man jump, and the guy standing behind the deceased had clearly had no chance or motive to kill his friend. The rest of the case had been dull and quite unnecessary. The man had been drunk and had attempted to take his own life three previous times, etc. "Honestly, a great detective like me deserves better cases than this!" he exclaimed as it began to rain. "C'mon Kazuha, our parents are already back at the hotel by now." She was wearing her angriest expression, and screamed at him, "Baka! You're supposed to meet Kudo at the Shinkasen station in twenty minutes!" "You were listening in on my conversation?!" he retorted. "Why not? It's not like you're talking to anyone important!" Hattori sighed, knowing she'd win any argument they had. "Besides, Kudo said he was sending that brat from Mouri's place since he's too busy to come." At this Kazuha calmed down. "You mean Conan-kun? That's great, since you two get along so well, but I'll be going back to hang out with your mom. I'm tired of your silly cases. Oh, and I'm taking the umbrella," she said, unfurling it and headingack toward the hotel. "Oi, Kazuha!" She ignored him and kept on walking, forcing Heiji to head to the nearest tourist-style shop for a decently made but over-priced umbrella. Sighing, he began his walk to the train station. Just as he did so, he spotted a suspicious looking teen weaving through the groups of people along the street. He couldn't tell where they were going, but the look of grim determination as they jammed a newly purchased baseball cap on their head, not even bothering with a shield from the rain, was difficult to ignore. He tracked the high school-aged suspect through the crowd, keeping his eyes glued to the soaked jacket and cap they wore. The sky was getting dark, and Hattori guessed Conan and his client(s) had already reached their destination and were going to call soon. Remembering the recent arson cases in the area, he decided that the suspect couldn't wait until later, and switched his phone off. "Sorry Kudo," he muttered, smiling. "But this is one case I'll be solving on my own." 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
