TakasaSanou: (( 3...))

Megure-keibu: (( 2...))

TakasaSanou: (( 1...))

TakasaSanou: The Mistaken Man Murder Case

TakasaSanou: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nMoZjmLKuo )

ToyamaKazuha: Ne, Ran-chan, since there is nothing to do here, lets go out and do something. Maybe do some shopping?

HattoriHeiji: *dry look*

HattoriHeiji: Is shappin' the only thing that comes to your mind?

ToyamaKazuha: Well, do you have anything better in mind?

EdogawaConan: \Again? Well, I guess for Toyama-san it's a chance to visit new shops....Ran went shopping just the other day with Sonoko....\

EdogawaConan: Um...There's the Haido Shopping Mall....

HattoriHeiji: Why not go watch a game for a change? Like a soccer game, you'd like that, right, kid? *ruffles Conan's hair*

EdogawaConan: It has a BIIIIIG ferris wheel!! I rode it with my friends a while ago....

EdogawaConan: \Oi!\

EdogawaConan: Um...there isn't a game going today, though, Heiji-niichan....

ToyamaKazuha: Well Ran-chan and I dont want to watch sports all day.

ToyamaKazuha: Right, Ran-chan?

EdogawaConan: \The next Spirits game is next week, and the kids have already arranged to go.... Ran agreed to take us...\

MouriRan: Uuh--- *nods, not really sure*

EdogawaConan: Ran-neechan?

EdogawaConan: \Ran? What's wrong?\

* Miyanoai is now known as HaibaraAi

* ToyamaKazuha notices the strange look on Ran's face

ToyamaKazuha: Ran-chan, are you ok?

HattoriHeiji: Well, if it's that place I guess we can tag along.. \

EdogawaConan: Ran-neechan? \What's wrong? Ran.....\

HattoriHeiji: There are other places to look around at, right?\ *looks at Kudou*

MouriRan: Yeah! *nods and smiles*

MouriRan: *kneels, staring at Conan* Yes?

EdogawaConan: You went all...sorta not-there....what happened?

* Conan's phone rings

EdogawaConan: Ah! *looks at phone* \Haibara?\ 'Scuse me....sorry, Ran-neechan....

EdogawaConan: *walks off a little ways and answers the phone* Hai?

HaibaraAi: Ne Kudou-kun...

HaibaraAi: There seemed to be someone at your house earlier on looking for you...

EdogawaConan: Someone looking for me? Who?

HaibaraAi: He said his name was...Sanou. Hakase and I were returning with groceries and he asked us if we knew you. He said he was looking for an old friend and wanted to ask for your help.

HaibaraAi: He also said something about an investigation...and that if we saw you to tell you to meet him the soccer field later.

HaibaraAi: Don't know how you would plan to pull it off, but I just thought I'd let you know...

EdogawaConan: Sanou? Takasa? The soccer feild? And he didn't say why?

EdogawaConan: Well, without the antidote...I'll have to find a way around it...

EdogawaConan: I'll see what I can do. Thanks for letting me know.

HaibaraAi: Un *hangs up*

EdogawaConan: *hangs up*

EdogawaConan: Sorry about that....

MouriRan: \He looks worried...\ *shakes her head* \Maybe I'm just thinking too much!\

HattoriHeiji: \What was that phone call about..\ *noticing Kudou's expression.

HattoriHeiji: *

EdogawaConan: Ne....maybe we could go to Beika Park?

ToyamaKazuha: That sounds fun, Conan-kun. How about it, Heiji? Wanna go to the park?

HattoriHeiji: Yeah. That'd be fine...

EdogawaConan: I'll go get my ball! *runs into Kogoro's room and comes back out with his soccer ball*

EdogawaConan: Ran-neechan? Is that OK with you?

MouriRan: Of course *smiles at Conan*

EdogawaConan: *smiles back up at her* \Ran....\ Then let's go!

{At the park}

ToyamaKazuha: See, Heiji isnt this nice?

EdogawaConan: Heiji-niichan! Let's play soccer!!

HattoriHeiji: Ah.. *is mildly distracted.*

EdogawaConan: \Now to find Takasa....\

HattoriHeiji: Ok. *follows Kudou.* I'll be back in a bit, Kazuha

EdogawaConan: *once they are out of earshot of the girls* Hattori?

HattoriHeiji: Yeah?

ToyamaKazuha: Heiji! He ran off again

EdogawaConan: The phone call earlier was Haibara. She said someone came looking for me at my place....an old friend, apparently looking for my help with an investigation.

EdogawaConan: Of course, I can't actually be there to meet him...

HattoriHeiji: Yeah, and you want me to be your replacement, right?

EdogawaConan: Yeah. Story is that since you happened to be in town and Shinichi isn't, he called you and asked if you could help out. OK?

* HattoriHeiji nod

EdogawaConan: Good. He should be waiting at the soccer field.... His name is Takasa Sanou. He was on the soccer team with me when we started high school, but left about the same time I did...I don't remember why.

TakasaSanou: *is on one side of the soccer field, kicking a soccer ball almost venomously into the goal, trying to vent and focus his mind*

EdogawaConan: *indicates Takasa* That's him.

* HattoriHeiji nod.

EdogawaConan: *suddenly punts his soccer ball rather hard at the other end of the feild, shooting it toward Takasa, but not to hit him* Ahh!

MouriRan: *walking with Kazuha, heading to the soccer field*

TakasaSanou: *hears conan's shout, and turns, sticking his foot out to catch the ball, jumping it into the air. He hooks it with his foot, and bounces it a time or two on his knees before lightly kicking it back to Conan*

EdogawaConan: *chases his ball* Sorry, oniisan, I didn't mean to...the ball got away.... *to Takasa when he gets closer, still chasing the ball*

* HattoriHeiji catches up with Conan

TakagiWataru: Conan-kun? Is that you? *coming from the distance*

EdogawaConan: *catches the ball expertly with his foot, bouncing it around just as Takasa had for a moment, before stopping it under his foot* Wow, oniisan, you're good!

EdogawaConan: *noticing Takagi* Ah...Takagi-keiji! What are you doing at the park? You didn't loose something again, did you?

TakasaSanou: *smiles slightly, his mood having improved somewhat from events earlier* I do better when I'm under stress. *he shrugs off-handedly*

EdogawaConan: Under stress, oniisan? What's wrong? Ran-neechan gets mad easier if she's under stress...and then she yells at ojisan a lot...

TakagiWataru: Ah? What? No. *blush* I am here with a suspect.. We are wating for someone..

EdogawaConan: A suspect? *to Takagi* There's a case again?

HattoriHeiji: Ah, That'd person would be Kudou Shinichi, right?

TakasaSanou: *tenses up visibly, shooting Takagi a bit of a frustrated look* I keep telling you guys, I didn't do it.

EdogawaConan: Didn't do what? What happened? *'Conan' act drops a little, letting a bit of Shinichi show through* Are you the suspect, oniisan?

MouriRan: Ta-- Takasa-kun---? *stops walking* ... T-- That's Takasa-kun! *whispering to herself*

TakagiWataru: Oh, and Hattori-kun.

TakasaSanou: *blinks at Hattori, slightly surprised and suspicious* And you are...?

TakagiWataru: I'm Hattori Heiji, detective of the west.

EdogawaConan: Ah, this is Heiji-niichan!

EdogawaConan: You're waiting for Shinichi-niichan?

EdogawaConan: Ah...I'm Edogawa Conan! *smiling up at Takasa*

HattoriHeiji: Kudou asked me to fill in for him. He's sadly out of town and couldn't make it.

TakagiWataru: Oh..

TakasaSanou: Detective of the west? *raises an eyebrow, then looks down at Conan* *he seems to examine him for a moment, a slight frown creasing his lips; He looks familiar...* Yeah, I was hoping to meet Kudou-kun here.

EdogawaConan: \You know full well that he's 'out of town', Takagai-keiji. Has been for a while....\

EdogawaConan: Shinichi-niichan is away on a case and he can't come home....Ran-neechan is sad...*glances back at the girls for a moment, then looks back at Takasa*

TakagiWataru: Well, I did tell Takasa-san that, but he insisted..

TakasaSanou: Out of town? *his shoulders fall considerably, and he hangs his head, looking at the ball by his feet* . . . *mutters a slight curse, spinning around and kicking the ball into the goal again*

EdogawaConan: Ne, oniisan? Maybe we can help instead?

MouriRan: He used to play in the soccer team with Shinichi...

TakagiWataru: Don't worry, Takasa-san. Hattori-kun is fully capable solving this case as Kudou-kun.

EdogawaConan: I've helped ojisan out on a lot of investigations...

EdogawaConan: And my friends and I have solved a couple things on our own, too, right, Takagi-keiji?

HattoriHeiji: Yeah. I'll be glad to do anything you were going to ask Kudou for.

TakasaSanou: *stares after the ball, frustrated* I didn't do it. This is absolutely rediculous. I found out my father was killed seven hours ago in our apartment and I'm being accused of killing him.

EdogawaConan: You don't have an alibi?

EdogawaConan: \He did leave the team because of something wrong with family....\

TakagiWataru: Yeah. It seems to be a case of wrong time wrong place.

EdogawaConan: Takasa-niisan? What happened? What did you want Shinichi-niichan to help with?

EdogawaConan: \I'll still help...I just can't look you in the eye....rrgh, stupid poision....\

TakagiWataru: His father, Takasa Daichi was found dead at 12:25 by his downstairs neighbor. His time of death was set at 12:10. He stated he was at the movies from 11PM until 3AM. But can't remember the movie and no one can verify his alibi.

EdogawaConan: Did you fall asleep in the movie, Takasa-niisan? Shiratori-keibu fell asleep in a movie once....

HattoriHeiji: Those circumstances would indeed make you a prime suspect... *puts his hand on his chin*

TakagiWataru: Takasa here wanted to see Kudou-kun to prove his innocense

MouriRan: *walks to join them, dragging Kazuha with her* \Takagi-kun...?\

TakasaSanou: *hanging his head somewhat* I know he's the best detective there is in Tokyo. I didn't fall asleep, but... *he trails off, once again looking at Conan*

EdogawaConan: Y-yeah, Takasa-niisan?

EdogawaConan: \Kuso...do NOT tell me HE sees through it...\

TakasaSanou: *he kneels down to Conan's level* Say, what was your name again? You kinda look like Kudou-kun.

MouriRan: *stands next to Conan* Takasa-kun...? *smiles at him*

EdogawaConan: E-Edogawa Conan, tantei sa!

HattoriHeiji: Oh yeah. I've always said the same thing. His eyes really get me. Hahaha.

EdogawaConan: \Of course I look like myself....\

EdogawaConan: Ah...yeah lots of people say I look like Shinichi-niichan....

TakasaSanou: Conan-kun, huh. *he smiles slightly at him* Takasa Sanou. *he glances briefly up at Hattori, then back down at him* I've seen you on the news, chasing that KID guy. You're pretty sharp. *he nods slightly towards Hattori* Think you and your friend would help me out?

EdogawaConan: Yeah!! We can help, Sanou-niichan!

HattoriHeiji: Yeah. Definitely. *grin*

TakagiWataru: Thanks for the assistance, Hattori-kun

TakasaSanou: *he looks up at Ran, a brief look of recognition touching his eyes, but not quite reaching, as he stands up and look at her* I've seen you around school. You're usually with Kudou-kun. *he looks slightly apologetic* Sorry, I don't think I ever really caught your name...?

EdogawaConan: \Oh yeah....odd as it seems, he's never actually MET Ran....\

MouriRan: Mouri Ran *points at herself, smiling*

SatouMiwako: *walking up to them* Takagi-kun? Any luck? Oh, Ran-chan....

TakasaSanou: *nods somewhat, returning his name* Sorry to drag you all into this mess. *he sighs*

EdogawaConan: Satou-keiji!

SatouMiwako: Ah, Conan-kun....and...Hattori-kun and Toyama-san, wasn't it?

SatouMiwako: *remembers them vaguely from the highway case*

HattoriHeiji: Yeah.

HattoriHeiji: Looks like we meet again, Keiji-taichi

HattoriHeiji: tachi*

ToyamaKazuha: Hello, I'm Toyama Kazuha and this is Hattori Heiji

ToyamaKazuha: nice to meet you

HattoriHeiji: \They already know who I am.\ *dry look*

EdogawaConan: How did Takasa-san die, Takagi-keiji?

TakagiWataru: Ah, he was stabbed in the chest with a knife. But it was a peculiar kind. *looks at Satou* Satou-san, what did you find?

SatouMiwako: There's not much chance it was a copy. The shopkeeper says he's pretty sure he's only ever seen one switchblade of that type in his shop before, and you were the one who bought it, Takasa-kun.

TakagiWataru: Hm..

HattoriHeiji: I see.. That could also mean someone took it from Takasa-san or borrowed it..

TakasaSanou: *shakes his head* I only showed it to a couple of my friends over dinner. I put it back in my pocket. It must've slipped out of the hole in my pocket between then and on my way to the movies or something.

EdogawaConan: A hole in your pocket?

TakasaSanou: *nods*

Megure-keibu: *calling Satou's phone*

SatouMiwako: *answering her phone* Hai?

Megure-keibu: Ahh, Satou-kun? We're done interviewing the two witnesses. Would you escort Takasa-san back to the apartment please?

SatouMiwako: Hai. Ah...Keibu, we seem to have picked up a couple detectives, who are probably going to insist on comming along...

* HattoriHeiji smirks

Megure-keibu: Eh? It's not Mouri-kun, is it?

SatouMiwako: No...Conan-kun and Hattori-kun.

Megure-keibu: *grumbles something about "bringing kids into this"*

SatouMiwako: \Not my fault...they were over here talking to Takagi-kun when I got back...\

TakasaSanou: *watching the police officers with a slightly sour look. A bit of a bruise is starting to become noticable on his left cheek, however*

EdogawaConan: Ne, Sanou-niichan? What did you do to your face?

MouriRan: *notices the bruise* ... Are you OK, Takasa-kun?

HattoriHeiji: What happened? *curious*

EdogawaConan: \And Ran's mother-instinct kicks in again...\

Megure-keibu: It seems to be a straightforward case-- *breaks off as someone says something to him* Yes yes, but things are too coincidental. We're going to doublecheck his statement right now is all. *back to Satou* Bring 'em if they want. Can't seem to keep them out. *sighs*

TakasaSanou: I'll be alright. *he seems slightly tense again, and is avoiding looking at anyone*

SatouMiwako: Yes, sir. \They'll probably make less trouble than Mouri-tantei, at least...\

EdogawaConan: \Did you get in a fight?\

SatouMiwako: *hangs up* Megure-keibu wants us back over at the apartment. Come on, Takasa-kun. Takagi-kun?

Megure-keibu: (( Apartment layout: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k75/optimus_primus_001/Other/RPGs/Nap.jpg ))

TakagiWataru: Right.

SatouMiwako: *leads them off toward the apartment*

SatouMiwako: \Guess he found a detective. We'll see how much it helps.\

{At the scene}

Megure-keibu: *talking to an older man in his late thirties, trying to reason with him* Now Honda-san, I appreciate your help, but we're fairly certain that there is enough evidence. HondaShouji: Keibu-san, I have to question if there is evidence enough with only two witnesses?

SatouMiwako: Megure-keibu?

Megure-keibu: Mm? Oo, Satou-san! Did you bring him?

TakasaSanou: Yeah, I'm here. *he trudges into the room, trying to avoid looking toward the bedroom*

* HaibaraAi is now known as England

TakagiWataru: We've brought him, sir.

* England is now known as HaibaraAi

HattoriHeiji: Yo, long time no see! *waves at Megure-Keibu*

Megure-keibu: Hattori-kun. *he nods slightly* It'll be hard to prove this case otherwise. It doesn't look good for you, Takasa-kun.

EdogawaConan: *walking in behind the police and Takasa* \I need more details...now how do I get them to spill?\

HattoriHeiji: \That bruise on his face seems like there is something he isn't tellin'\

KomoroGosho: *a middle-aged man, arguing with one of the other police officers in the corner* What do you mean you need to double check his statement?! He's obviously the one who killed his father! Officer: *stammering* N-Now sir, We're just making sure. There's no need to yell.

EdogawaConan: *walks over to the argument in the corner* Ne, ojisan? Why is it obvious?

HondaShouji: *has neither a smile or frown on his face. In fact, seems more curious about what's going on, especially since what appears to be an eight year old being allowed into the scene*

KomoroGosho: What-- Hey! What's a kid doing on a murder scene?! *he picks Conan up, looking downright furious* And you police call yourselves for the good of the people, some good you do to help children's minds!

SatouMiwako: Keibu? *goes to relay the information about the knife, quietly*

EdogawaConan: Ah! I'm helping oniisan! *indicates Heiji*

HattoriHeiji: Yeah, he's my assistant

* HattoriHeiji walks over to Conan

Megure-keibu: *frowns as Satou tells him what she found out*

HattoriHeiji: He brings up a good point. Why does it seem so obvious?

EdogawaConan: \C'mon, get me DOWN!\

EdogawaConan: \I get tossed around enough by occhan...\

* HattoriHeiji takes Conan and puts him to his side.

KomoroGosho: *grumbles* You can't trust kids these days. *He scowls at Sanou in particular*

EdogawaConan: What do you mean, you can't trust kids? And why can't you trust Sanou-niichan in particular?

EdogawaConan: \This guy isn't going to want to talk to Hattori...\

KomoroGosho: *glares in response at the child*

EdogawaConan: \Or me, apparently...which means I'll need to borrow Takagi-keiji.....\ *pretends to be scared off by the glare and goes to get Takagi*

HattoriHeiji: Just answer the question.

KomoroGosho: You can't trust 'em. They don't grow up right these days. They go and take people's lives in one way or another.

HattoriHeiji: Not all of them ya know. I'll have ya know I'm a great detective. Taku..

EdogawaConan: *coming back, with Takagi behind him* Take peoples lives? *seems to have zeroed in on this comment* How?

EdogawaConan: Ojisan, you don't like kids?

TakagiWataru: Oh. well..

EdogawaConan: \Actually, I know a number of people who don't like kids...or at least seem to not like them. Occhan....Sonoko....\

TakagiWataru: Komoro's son was killed by a car... Takasa-san had stolen it, but wasn't driving it..

TakasaSanou: *has taken a seat on the couch as he goes over his statement with Megure-keibu again.* I went and watched "The Red Thread" and "Gomera".

HattoriHeiji: Oh, so Takasa-san has had previous run in witht he law?

* TakagiWataru nod

EdogawaConan: \Stole a car? How did I miss hearing about that?\

HattoriHeiji: \This doesn't look so good so far...\

HattoriHeiji: And that's why you think it's an obvious crime?

MouriRan: \... I hate crime scenes!\ *stands next to Kazuha* \But that time... Takasa-kun...\

KomoroGosho:Witnesses heard him yell "I'll kill you!" before he left the apartment! And then he goes out and buys a knife? Why wouldn't he kill his father?!

ToyamaKazuha: As many crime scenes as Ive been to with Heiji, they still bother me. I dont see how he stays so calm

TakasaSanou: I was angry! *stands up suddenly in response to Komoro* I didn't -mean- that I was going to kill him!

HattoriHeiji: Something said out of anger isn't always true.. But A witness.. *trails off and looks aorund*

HattoriHeiji: Could have taken avantage.

EdogawaConan: \Doesn't he collect knives, though?\ Is that the only knife that Sanou-niisan has?

MouriRan: You're right... *shivering* Crime scenes, corpses...

TakasaSanou: HondaShouji: I wonder about that. Megure-keibu: Wonder about what? HondaShouji: Didn't one of the witnesses say there was a train going by? Trains are rather loud...

EdogawaConan: The train? \That would make it hard to hear anything...unless you were right close. And sometimes even then.\

EdogawaConan: *wanders over to talk to Honda-san* When did the train go by?

HattoriHeiji: \Only knife? He collected knives?\ If he had more than one knife.. couldn't someone easily swapped one from him?

HondaShouji: *looks down at the child* The witness said it went by as the murder occured. She lives on the other side of the train tracks.

EdogawaConan: Then the murder didn't occur here?

HondaShouji: It occurred here. She saw it from her window.

EdogawaConan: Oh....which window did she see it through? \Window of a second floor....hmm...\

HondaShouji: *he glances towards Sanou, a slightly regretful look in his eyes, before going over to him, taking his white jacket off and putting it over the teenager's shoulders*

TakasaSanou: *glances up, then nods a silent thanks, pulling the coat closer around him, trying to hide the darkening bruise on his cheek*

EdogawaConan: *turns to study Takasa* \What's been up with him lately? Haven't seen him much since I quit the team...about the same time he did, actually...and where did he get that bruise? Was he in a fight or something?\

MouriRan: Now I remember!

Megure-keibu: *To Heiji* Apparently not. The knife in question is apparently a rarer make. The knife shopkeeper says it was rather unique.

EdogawaConan: \Ran?\ Remember what, Ran-neechan?

HattoriHeiji: I've been meaning to ask, where did ya get that bruise from, Tasaka-san?

HattoriHeiji: That's not what I mean. The culprit coulda switched the knife during the movie.. or somethin'

MouriRan: *kneels* Sonoko told me she saw Takasa-kun at a restaurant with his father... *whispering* Arguing.

EdogawaConan: When was that, Ran-neechan?

EdogawaConan: \Might be important...or it might not....\

MouriRan: She told me about it yesterday...

TakasaSanou: I... I got in a fight. *he pointedly stares at the table*

HattoriHeiji: With your father, or someone else?

TakasaSanou: *he doesn't answer at first, his hands tightening on the edges of the coat* . . . With... With my dad. *he's tense again.*

EdogawaConan: Hmm.... *wanders away towards the police and witnesses, not realizing that he has his 'Shinichi' face on full-blast* \A fairly public fight.....and a LOT of the bruises he's come to school with before could be from fights....\

HondaShouji: A unique blade? *picking back up on previous conversation bits* How unique?

HattoriHeiji: \I wonder if it's possible someone was black mailing his dad.. \

HattoriHeiji: \It could be possible someone was trying to frame Tamasa-san from the start and used his father as the key character..\

HattoriHeiji: Tamasa-san, did your father have a lot of enemies?

TakasaSanou: You.. could say that. *he looks up somewhat* He wasn't... a nice person.

TakagiWataru: Well, seeing as his father was an embezzler, extortion and blackmailer, he would have alot of enemies

EdogawaConan: \Almost sounds like Yakuza...\

EdogawaConan: Sanou-niichan? Can you think of anyone who might have tried to kill your dad?

MouriRan: Does it hurt...? *sits next to Takasa, worried about him, referring to the bruise*

KomoroGosho: "wasn't a nice person"! Hmph! Kept my business going! HondaShouji: Only because you'd give him part of the cut, Gosho-kun. KomoroGosho: You're one to talk! You were the one he was blackmailing! HondaShouji: *remains silent on that*

HattoriHeiji: \What?\ *surprised* \This does lead to many possibilities.. Wonder what Kudou's thinkin'\

EdogawaConan: \Hmm...that undermines their reliability as witnesses....\

EdogawaConan: Ne, Takagi-keiji? What did the witness say?

TakasaSanou: *quietly in response to Ran's question* Been through worse myself, to be honest.

EdogawaConan: \He's gotten hurt worse than that at soccer practice, Ran...though soccer doesn't usually result in a hit to the face....\

HattoriHeiji: \

TakagiWataru: Which witness, Conan-kun? There were two...

EdogawaConan: The one that saw through the window...

TakagiWataru: Oh.

EdogawaConan: \Well, I'd like to hear what both witnesses said, but one at a time.\

MouriRan: *smiles at him* Well... That doesnt mean I'll stop worrying! You got hurt a lot during soccer practice when you were little... *giggles*

TakagiWataru: Ah, the witness Okuhara Michi said she saw someone like Takasa-san stab his father through the window as the trian went by.

TakasaSanou: Yeah. *a slightly more relaxed smile goes across his face* Broken limbs and everything.

EdogawaConan: \Someone like Takasa-san...which means she probably didn't see him very well.\ And the other witness?

MouriRan: *smiles at him, happy because he seems less tense now* But that's because you used to give the best of yourself in the matches! Always pushing over your own limit... *stares at him* \Just like someone else I know...\ *blushes slightly*

HattoriHeiji: \The witness doesn't seem too liable if they saw someone like Tamasa-san. Which means it could have been one of these two as well. But which one?\

TakasaSanou: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVRNl4tuAM ))

{The Shonen Tantei are leaving school.}

* EdogawaConan yawns boredly.

EdogawaConan: \Another boring day. I'm almost wishing for a stupid "find my cat" case\ *dry look*

* HaibaraAi looks over at Conan and smirks.

HaibaraAi: Really, you finally seem to get the day off and you can't seem to handle it.

Ayumi: Day off? But we had school today? *looks mildly confused at Ai's comment*

HaibaraAi: I wasn't particularly talking about school...

Ayumi: Oh...but...well, if it's a day off besides school, that means we can play, right?

Ayumi: Ne, maybe there's a case in the box?

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Oh yeah, let's check it!

Ayumi: Yeah! Maybe there will be something in there!

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: *goes to the locker to check for a case*

* shoebox contains Genta's shoes...and a piece of paper.

* EdogawaConan sigh

EdogawaConan: A request? *walks over to Mitsuhiko*

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Yeah, there's a slip of paper...

Ayumi: Or maybe there's a case!

* HaibaraAi sighs

* EdogawaConan leans into read it

* paper has an encoded message.

Paper: xxx o xo xox o / xxox xox ooo oo / o xxxx x / xoxx xx oxxx xox xo xox oxoo xoxoxo / xxx x ox xxx x xx / xxxx xo xxx / o xxxx x / xxx x oxox ooo ox oxx / oxox xoxx xxo x xoxoxo

Ayumi: Batsu batsu batsu maro batsu maro....what is this?

EdogawaConan: \Those a lot of x's and o's...\ *slight blush*

EdogawaConan: \Baarou, it's not that kind of message...\

EdogawaConan: An encoded message. But what is there to fill in the blanks?

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Oh, I see! It's Morse code!

Ayumi: Morse code?

EdogawaConan: Oh yeah… How did I miss that? *blink*

Ayumi: Oh! Like on the plane...but wasn't that written with dots?

Ayumi: Ne, ne, can you read it?

HaibaraAi: The question is, which one stand for the dots and which one for dash...

* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] facefault

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: I really don't know how...

Ayumi: Oh....

Ayumi: Oh! Isn't there a book of codes in the library?

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Oh yeah! We can use that!

EdogawaConan: \Seems like those two are doing well on their own this time...\

HaibaraAi: If it really is Morse code, the first letter would be either s or o...

Ayumi: The batsu-batsu-batsu?

* HaibaraAi nods

Ayumi: And then the maru is...what?

HaibaraAi: Hmm, an e or t, I believe...

HaibaraAi: But I don't have the whole alphabet memorized, we should still go to the library.

Ayumi: Yeah!

Ayumi: Let's go!

* Ayumi heads of in the direction of the school library, wanting to find out what the clue says.

* HaibaraAi follows slowly

* EdogawaConan follows with Mitsuhiko not far behind

{At the library}

Ayumi: The book of codes was....over here! *goes to get the book she remembers*

* HaibaraAi starts looking at book

HaibaraAi: So, it was an s and t...

Ayumi: S and t...and then....a?

HaibaraAi: r...t...

HaibaraAi: Start...

Ayumi: The slash-mark....does that mean it's the end of a word?

* HaibaraAi nods

Ayumi: So..."start"....where?

HaibaraAi: Heh, we'll have to translate the rest of it to find out. Seems like the boys aren't too interested...

HaibaraAi: f...r...o...m...

Ayumi: t...h....e....

Ayumi: "Start from the" Wow the next word is long!

HaibaraAi: library.

HaibaraAi: Well, we're already there...

Ayumi: Oh good! So the next clue must be somewhere around here, right?

* EdogawaConan has it already figured it out

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Se...nsei... has the second clue!

Ayumi: Then let's go find Kobayashi-sensei!

* Kobayashi-sensei pokes her head around a bookshelf.

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Yeah!

Kobayashi-sensei: Someone looking for me?

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Sensei! Do you happen to have a clue for us?

* HaibaraAi smirks

Kobayashi-sensei: Ah...yes, I do. Here. *hands them a small envelope*

* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] smiles

Kobayashi-sensei: Araide-sensei said Hakase dropped it off at lunch...

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: All right

* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] opens the envelope

HaibaraAi: \I see now...\

EdogawaConan: \Really now?\ *oioi look*

* Paper falls out of the envelope.

* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] picks up the paper and reads it

paper: xxox xx ox oxx / o xxxx x / oxx x o x oxox o xx xxxo x xoooo xxx / oxx xo xxo oox xxxx o x xox xoxoxo / xxx xxxx x xoooox xoxx xoxx / oox xx xxxo x / oxoo ooo xxo / o xxxx x / o xxxx xx xox oxx / oxox xoxx xxo x xoxoxo

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Another code? *scribbles it down*

HaibaraAi: *sighs* and another one...

Ayumi: It looks like the same code, though...so it should be pretty easy, right?

Ayumi: If it's Hakase's code, there's probably a prize waiting for us at the end, right?

HaibaraAi: Find the detective's daughter?

Ayumi: Ran-oneesan!

HaibaraAi: Must be talking about Ran-san...

Ayumi: Ne, Conan-kun....where is Ran-oneesan?

EdogawaConan: Oh, Ran-neechan had practice today. So she'll be at school still. *smiles*

Kobayashi-sensei: Ah...that looks like fun!

Kobayashi-sensei: I'd love to join you, but unfortunately I have to get things ready for tomorrow...don't forget to get all your homework done, too, OK?

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Un. Bye Kobayashi-sensei!

Kobayashi-sensei: See you tomorrow!

Kobayashi-sensei: Bye!

* Kobayashi-sensei heads back to the teacher's room to work on lesson plans.

* EdogawaConan and co. go to Teitan High.

* Ayumi looks up at the gates to Teitan High School.

Ayumi: Wow....\Someday I'll go to school here!\

Ayumi: How do we find Ran-oneesan?

Ayumi: It's really big...

EdogawaConan: She should be in the practice room. Follow me. I used to wait for her there...

Ayumi: Ok!

* Ayumi follows Conan.

* HaibaraAi follows

* [TsuburayaMitsuhiko] goes along looking around

EdogawaConan: Yup, she's usually right here... Ran-neechan? *pokes his head in*

MouriRan: Hyah! *kicks a punching-bag*

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Cool...

EdogawaConan: Ran-neechan? *slowly approaches her.* Did Hakase happen to give you anything?

MouriRan: H-- HYAH! *punches the bag* U-- Uh? Conan-kun?-- You guys made it! *smiles*

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Yeah. Sorry if we are troubling you, Ran-san.

MouriRan: You're not, Mitsuhiko-kun *smiles at him and puts a paper into his hands*

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Thank you, Ran-san. *opens up paper*

Paper: ox ooo xoo / xxox xx ox oxx / o xxxx x / xxxx ooo oo x / ooo xxox / o xxxx x / xo oxxx xxx x ox o / oxx x o x oxox o xx xxxo x xoxoxo / oxoo ooo xxo xox / oxo xoxx xxo x / xx xxx / oxxx oxoo / xxxx xx xxx / oox xo o x xoxoxo

[TsuburayaMitsuhiko]: Another long one...

Ayumi: So what's it say?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: "Absent Detective?" *blink

Ayumi: Maybe it means ojisan?

Ayumi: Sometimes ojisan is away....

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: But Kogoro-san doesn't have a gate... *scratches his head*

Ayumi: Oh yeah....

Ayumi: So there must be another detective...

MouriRan: Absent... detective... *whispering to herself*

Ayumi: Ne, Ran-oneesan?

EdogawaConan: \Oioi... Hakase... Really?\

Ayumi: Do you know any other detectives?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Oh, what about Heiji-san? He lives in Osaka right? He's absent!

Ayumi: But...how would we get there?

EdogawaConan: Hakase wouldn't make a clue that far away...

Ayumi: And we don't know where his house is anyway...

HaibaraAi: \So...it's in Kudou-kun's mailbox...\

Ayumi: So it must be someone closer!

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: And if he has a gate for not...

Ayumi: Takagi-keiji doesn't have a gate....

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Ran-san, can you think of anyone?

MouriRan: Well... I think I know someone who fits.

Ayumi: And if Hakase had meant one of the police he'd've said keiji....

Ayumi: You do? Who?

* Ayumi smiles excitedly up at Ran.

EdogawaConan: \Me, she means me.\ *dry look*

MouriRan: You guys know him.

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Who, ran-san?

Ayumi: We do?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: We do? *puts finger to his chin*

MouriRan: *points at herself* He's my age.

* HaibaraAi sighs

Ayumi: Heiji-oniisan?

Ayumi: But...he's too far away....

Ayumi: Oh! Maybe he means Sonoko-oneesan!

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: But she's not absent...

Ayumi: Yeah....

MouriRan: She's not absent. And that detective is a "he".

Ayumi: Ayumi can't think of anyone else that she knows....

MouriRan: A jerk one... *raises her fist*

HaibaraAi: Isn't he also Edogawa-kun's 'cousin'?

Ayumi: A jerk? Conan-kun's cousin?

* [TsuburayaMitsuhko] blink

Ayumi: Conan-kun, you have a cousin?

MouriRan: I'll give you a hint *smiles at them* He looks like Conan-kun

* Ayumi can't think of anyone like that.

EdogawaConan: I don't think they know who Shinichi-niichan is, Ran-neechan. *smiles*

Ayumi: Ran-oneesan, when did we meet this person?

Ayumi: Ayumi can't remember...

EdogawaConan: \Like they would since Kudou Shinichi hasn't appeared in a long time\

Ayumi: Shinichi-oniisan?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Etou I think it was... I remember reading about him a while back...

Ayumi: Oh! Conan-kun, you've mentioned Shinichi-oniisan a couple times...

Ayumi: The shiranpuri case!

EdogawaConan: \Ku do u! I keep telling you it's Kudou!\

Ayumi: Conan-kun said that Shinichi-oniisan gave him the answer....

MouriRan: You met him...

Ayumi: So Megure-keibu tried the proof even though it was silly, and it worked! *excited*

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Is that it then? Etou Shinichi's house?

MouriRan: Absent detective huh...

Ayumi: But...where is Shinichi-oniisan's house, Ran-oneesan?

* HaibaraAi rolls her eyes.

HaibaraAi: He lives next to Hakase

MouriRan: *kicks the punching bag, breaking it*

EdogawaConan: It's KU DO U! You guys keep reading it wrong!

MouriRan: Next to Hakase.

MouriRan: *smiles*

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: OH...

Ayumi: Ah.....OK!

Ayumi: Then let's go!

* EdogawaConan growls

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Yeah!

* [TsuburayaMitsuhko] takes the lead

Ayumi: *a little scared of Ran since she broke the bag*

* HaibaraAi smirks at his irritation.

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Thanks, Ran-san!

* Ayumi heads out.

Ayumi: Thank you, Ran-oneesan!

HaibaraAi: It's been a while, who knows, maybe they'll be able to read it now...

EdogawaConan: I'll see you later, Ran-neechan.

EdogawaConan: I doubt that part... *walks out the door.*

MouriRan: Take care!

Ayumi: We will!

((Skip to arriving at Shinichi's place.))

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Wow... This place looks creepier up close...

* [TsuburayaMitsuhko] looks for the mail box

Ayumi: But we don't have to go any farther than the gate, right?

* Ayumi looks at the gate.

Ayumi: Oh hey!

* Ayumi finds something taped to the gatepost at about eye-level for her

Ayumi: Is this it?

* Miaka is now known as envelope

* Envelope is stuck to the side of the gatepost.

HaibaraAi: Well, who would leave an envelope at this level other than for someone our size to find it?

Ayumi: Has to be it, then, right?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Yeah, what does it say?

* Ayumi pulls at the envelope to get it off.

* Envelope has nothing written on the outside.

* Ayumi opens the envelope and pulls out a sheet of paper

Ayumi: It's more of those batsus and marus....

* Ayumi shows it to the rest

paper: o xxxx xx xxx / xx xxx / o xxxx x / x ox oxx / xo ox oxx / oxoo ooo xxo xoooox xoxx xoxx / xxox xx ox oxx / oxoo ooo xxo xox / xox x xoo xo xox oxx xoxoxo / xo ox / ooo xoxx oxx / xxox xox xx x ox oxx / xoo xo xx o xxx / xoo xx o xxxx / xo / o xox x xo o / xo o / o xxxx x / oxox xo xxox x / ox x xo xox x xxx o / xo /xxox xox xx x ox oxx xoooox xxx / xxxx ooo oo x xoxoxo

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Lemme see.. *leans over*

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: That's so long!

Ayumi: Yeah...

HaibaraAi: Seems to be the last one...

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: I would hope so... Or they'd get longer...

Ayumi: How can you tell it's the last one? *confused by all the batsu and maru*

HaibaraAi: It says "this is the end..."

Ayumi: Oh....

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: It says "An old friend waits close to a friend's home"

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: With a treat!

Ayumi: But close to which friend's home?

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: It says "An old friend waits in a cafe close to a friend's home"

Ayumi: Ah...

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Who lives near a cafe?

HaibaraAi: Isn't the Mouri tantei agency above a coffee shop?

Ayumi: Yeah! Cafe Poirot!

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: OH yeah!

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: then the person waiting most likely waiting is Hakase!

Ayumi: Let's go! *happily, ready to take off*

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Un! *runs after Ayumi*

* HaibaraAi follows, wondering if he planning anything other them treating them at the cafe

* Ayumi is way ahead of the others, but still being careful.

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: We are here. *enters the Cafe looking for Hakase*

Ayumi: Hakase! *waving at him*

AgasaHakase: Ah, there you are!

AgasaHakase: So I see you solved my code. *smiling*

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Yeah! It was so cool!

Ayumi: It was fun!!

Ayumi: Ne, you gave the "absent detective" clue to Ran-oneesan because you knew we needed her help to figure it out, didn't you?

EdogawaConan: So, Hakase. *smiling at him.* What's the treat?

EdogawaConan: \And sending them to my house...\

AgasaHakase: Azusa-kun mentioned that she needed someone to taste-test a new desert they're planning to start serving next week...

AgasaHakase: So I volunteered you all to help out. Have a seat!

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: \Good thing Genta-kun isn't here...\

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Wow! That's great

* Dessert is a sweet concoction that seems to be a cross between strawberry cheesecake and a sundae.

Ayumi: Yummy!!

* HaibaraAi smiles for the dessert looks really good.

[TsuburayaMitsuhko]: Mmm!

EdogawaConan: \This will definitely give you cavities...\ *takes a small bite.

EdogawaConan: * \It really is good though!\

Ayumi: It's GOOOOD!!

Episode 29: Diner Disaster, Part 2

{Episode 29}

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t5Nc0VVmjU

HattoriHeiji: Last time on Detective Conan, Ran and Conan came to Osaka for a visit.

HattoriHeiji: Things were goin' just fine. Kazuha took forever to order and I straightened some things out.

HattoriHeiji: Just as we were going to finish the rest of our meal, we heard a scream. What happened?! I guess we will just have ta see on this episode of Detective Conan!

HanariMayu: {Cue Title}

{Diner Disaster, Part 2}

[3...

[2...

[1...

EdogawaConan: [Cue scene]

{Inside the diner}

HanariMayu: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

HattoriHeiji: A scream?!

EdogawaConan: Eh?? *runs toward the scream*

* HanariMayu screams from the kitchen.

MouriRan: Heh?! What was that sound just now?! *stands up looking around*

HattoriHeiji: Oi, what happened? *runs to the kitchen*

* ToyamaKazuha stands up and sees Heiji and Conan running from the bathroom.

* EdogawaConan runs into the kitchen with Heiji

EdogawaConan: What happened? *looking around at the scene, trying to place things and people*

ToyamaKazuha: Come on, Ran-chan *runs towards the kitchen*

* HasimotoMai stops Heiji at the door.

HasimotoMai: Hold on, you can't come back here.

HanariMayu: Hasimoto-san...

MouriRan: Un. *follows Kazuha*

HattoriHeiji: What happened?

EdogawaConan: We heard a scream...

HanariMayu: Ochi-san is dead!

HasimotoMai: What?

* HasimotoMai turns around and rushes into the kitchen.

HattoriHeiji: What?

* EdogawaConan spots Ran & Kazuha, and yells at them to call for the police and an ambulance.

MouriRan: Ok! *nods*

* ToyamaKazuha nods, taking out her phone.

* HanariMayu is leaning against the far wall, pointing across the room at a body, lying on its back, with profuse bleeding.

* EdogawaConan ducks around the person blocking the door and goes to investigate.

* ToyamaKazuha quickly calls 110 with her fingers shaking, and asks for an ambulance, giving them the address.

* Body has a deep crack on the back of his head.

MouriRan: \Why does this always seem to happen...\ *frowns*

HasimotoMai: Hanari-san, what happened?!

HanariMayu: I just came in to give Ochi-san an order, and he was like this.

HasimotoMai: SOMEONE GET HIM AN AMBULANCE!

EdogawaConan: On that.

HattoriHeiji: We need to clear this area.

* HasimotoMai nods at Heiji.

* EdogawaConan is trying to look for clues.

HasimotoMai: Wait--.

* HattoriHeiji looks at Hashimoto and Hanari

ToyamaKazuha: \If this wasn't such a short number, I'd have it on speed dial by now...\ *glares at phone after finishing*

EdogawaConan: Hattori....

HasimotoMai: Don't tell the customers. We don't want to start a panic.

* HattoriHeiji turns his attention to Kudou

HasimotoMai: I'll try to explain the scream, and we'll clear the place without getting the customers in an uproar.

EdogawaConan: They're not going to listen to me, and this is your home turf anyway...*whispering*

HattoriHeiji: Right, of course. *wink*

HasimotoMai: Hanari-san, see if you can do anything for him. Bandages, maybe?

HanariMayu: Right...

* HattoriHeiji checks his pulse.

* HattoriHeiji lets out a sad sigh.

* Body has no pulse.

EdogawaConan: He's gone already.

HasimotoMai: No... Ochi-san...

* HanariMayu has her hair stand on end before sobbing into her hands.

HasimotoMai: Hanari-san... clear out the restaurant. Get the staff together.

HasimotoMai: The rest of you, get out of here. This is no place for customers.

* HasimotoMai grabs Conan.

HasimotoMai: Especially not children.

HattoriHeiji: No, he's my assistant.

* HasimotoMai stares blankly.

HasimotoMai: And who are you, exactly?

HattoriHeiji: If ya couldn't tell, I'm Hattori Heiji! The detective of the West.

* HasimotoMai stares blankly.

HasimotoMai: Get out of the kitchen.

HasimotoMai: You can play detective after the real police get here.

HattoriHeiji: How could ya not see that?!

HattoriHeiji: *glare*

* HasimotoMai lets go of Conan.

HattoriHeiji: Ahou! There isn't time for the police! Better to get the case done anyway.

HattoriHeiji: 'sides, the police wouldn't do much better than I would anyway!

HasimotoMai: What kind of idiot are you? This isn't a job for some stupid, conceited teenager!

HasimotoMai: This is a job for professionals!

EdogawaConan: Heiji-niichan is a professional!

EdogawaConan: \So am I, for that matter. Not that you'll believe me.\

HattoriHeiji: *veins pulsate in his forehead.* I'LL HAVE YA KNOW I'M THE SON OF HATTORI HEIZO! I AM BETTER THAN THE POLICE! ASK ANYONE!

EdogawaConan: \Baarou.\

* HasimotoMai facepalms.

HattoriHeiji: I ain't no stupid teenager!

* EdogawaConan sneaks around to get a closer look at the body again.

EdogawaConan: \Head wound is recent....\ *notes a scent near the mouth* \...and not what killed him.\

* ToyamaKazuha heard Heiji screaming from outside the kitchen door.

EdogawaConan: \Potassium cyanide. Again. This seems to come up a lot. He must've hit his head when he fell.\

HasimotoMai: Whatever. We're waiting for the police. You can deal with them!

ToyamaKazuha: *to Ran* I wonder what’s going on...

MouriRan: Sounds like they got Hattori-kun mad...

ToyamaKazuha: Un. *nods, frowning*

* HattoriHeiji is still glaring and his forehead pulsating.

* HasimotoMai ushers everyone out of the room and locks it behind her.

HasimotoMai: There's only one door to the kitchen. Even the back door doesn't connect.

HanariMayu: Hasimoto-san! I have gathered the rest of the staff. We're clearing out the restaurant now!

* HasimotoMai nods at Mayu.

HasimotoMai: That's good. Maybe someone noticed Ochi-san acting strangely.

HattoriHeiji: Oi, don't clear it out; you might usher out the murderer!

HasimotoMai: Murderer?

HattoriHeiji: Ah. I smelled a common scent in the air by the body. This was a murder!

* EdogawaConan stands next to Heiji.

HasimotoMai: I smelled a lot of things in there. It's a kitchen!

EdogawaConan: Almond.

HattoriHeiji: Exactly, cyanide.

HasimotoMai: Look, I don't have time for your games, but maybe the police will when they arrive. Honestly, I think the way you've been poking about in there, you sure know a lot about Ochi-san's current circumstance...

EdogawaConan: I live with Meitantei Mouri, and I've been to a lot of cases with him!

* HasimotoMai glances up.

HasimotoMai: That guy on the news?

EdogawaConan: Yeah. I'm his assistant! *gives her a boyish smile*

HattoriHeiji: \You've heard of someone on TV but not someone who lives in your area?!\

EdogawaConan: \More like he's my assistant, actually....\

HanariMayu: Aww. Isn't he cute?

HasimotoMai: Hanari-san! I told you to get everyone together!

HanariMayu: We've cleared out the restaurant; everyone's here, wanting to hear the news.

HattoriHeiji: Yeah, I teach him too. *bends down and pats Conan's head.*

MouriRan: Hattori-kun and Conan sure do hang out a lot...

EdogawaConan: \At least with Hattori I don't get bopped or thrown nearly as often as with occhan....\

ToyamaKazuha: Yeah, they really are just like brothers...

* EdogawaConan puts up with being patted, but Hattori can tell he's not happy about it.

* HattoriHeiji is also not happy how no one knows him.

HanariMayu: Hasimoto-san?

HasimotoMai: Yeah?

HanariMayu: The police are here. They want to be let in.

HattoriHeiji: \Finally...\

HasimotoMai: Alright, good. Bring them back here.

Ohtaki-han: Oi, Hei-chan, you’re here too? And Kazuha-chan...

HattoriHeiji: Yeah... We were eating when something happened in the kitchen. But these guys won't let us in. *points to Hashimoto*

HasimotoMai: This ahou was trying to play detective in my kitchen, keibu. I'm glad you've finally arrived to set things straight.

EdogawaConan: \Yeah....now watch him set you straight.\

* HattoriHeiji glares

Ohtaki-han: Oh, Hei-chan? He's a great detective of this area! His dad is the Chief of the Osaka police, so he solves cases many times.

Ohtaki-han: He really surprises us police sometimes, seein' things we don't.

Ohtaki-han: So, Hei-chan, what have you found so far?

* HasimotoMai raises a brow. "Keep an eye on him. He shouldn't be running around crime scenes if he's not an officer."

* HattoriHeiji clears his throat.

HattoriHeiji: Well, the victim was poisoned by cyanide. He hit his head on the way down.

HattoriHeiji: That's all I was able to gather before I got kicked out.

Ohtaki-han: Ah... Are the suspects gathered?

HasimotoMai: Suspects? You just said he was poisoned, how could we know who did it?

HattoriHeiji: These guys cleared out the restaurant...

HattoriHeiji: \These guys interfered with my investigation...\

HattoriHeiji: You said you were gatherin' the employees, right?

HattoriHeiji: Where are they at?

HanariMayu: Yes, tantei-han. There are currently seven other people on staff other than Ochi-san, but since we switch around jobs, everyone probably visited Ochi-san recently...

HattoriHeiji: What is Ochi-san?

HanariMayu: They're gathered at the host's podium.

* HanariMayu facefaults.

HanariMayu: Ochi-han is the cook.

HasimotoMai: See, I told you he was an idiot.

* EdogawaConan is staying quiet because if this person wouldn't listen to Hattori there's no way they'd listen to a 7 year old.

Ohtaki-han: I assure you, Hei-chan is brilliant. We will need to gain access to the kitchen now

* HasimotoMai nods. "Of course, Keibu. The kitchen is locked right now: there's only one way in and out."

* HasimotoMai unlocks the door and leads the keibu inside.

* Ohtaki-han walks inside.

* EdogawaConan follows Ohtaki-han, carefully.

Ohtaki-han: I see, It would appear a head wound was the death blow, but... *leans down to smell his breath.* I do smell the almond…

EdogawaConan: He probably hit his head when he fell, right, Ohtaki-keibu?

Ohtaki-han: Exactly, Conan-kun.

* EdogawaConan smiles at Ohtaki-han.

HasimotoMai: How fast does cyanide affect people?

HattoriHeiji: Immediately.

EdogawaConan: *nods*

HasimotoMai: I see... so he was probably standing... there.

HattoriHeiji: Most likely it was on a utensil he commonly used in here...

HattoriHeiji: That others wouldn't otherwise use.

HattoriHeiji: What place do you mean?

* HasimotoMai points at the counter in front of the body, which has seven different dishes, each having a bite taken from them.

HattoriHeiji: I see.

EdogawaConan: Ne, oneesan....was he the only cook? *addressing Hasimoto-san*

HasimotoMai: Eh? Well, that's hard to answer...

HasimotoMai: Ochi-han was unique, in that he was always a cook.

HasimotoMai: All of the rest of us switched between jobs as hosts, waiters, cooks, and cleaners, as part of our jobs.

HattoriHeiji: \Then how did the person slip in the poison? By touch seems the most common…\

HasimotoMai: However, Ochi-han created the vast majority of the dishes, and always personally tested them to see if they were suitable for the customer.

EdogawaConan: \So most likely someone spilled the poison into one of the dishes, knowing he'd taste it before it was sent out...\

Ohtaki-han: What is your position, Hashimoto-san?

HasimotoMai: I'm the manager, but like all the other workers here except for Ochi-han, I switch between the jobs of cook, waitress, bus woman, and hostess.

Ohtaki-han: Of course, where was everyone tonight?

HasimotoMai: Everyone on staff should have cycled through the jobs, including being cooks and waiters.

HattoriHeiji: Then everyone had a chance to sabotage the food.

HasimotoMai: Are you accusing my employees of murdering Ochi-han?

EdogawaConan: Would any of the customers have been able to get back here to poison him?

BlueDescriptionBox: Hasimoto Mai (38) - Manager

HasimotoMai: I guess not...

HanariMayu: Um... they could have sent the food back, Hasimoto-san!

HattoriHeiji: Hashimoto-san, where were you at the time of the scream?

BlueDescriptionBox: Hanari Mayu (19) - Diner Worker

HattoriHeiji: I doubt he would test a food that was already eaten.

HasimotoMai: I was at the front desk. I was your hostess, remember?

* HasimotoMai glares at Hattori.

HasimotoMai: As the manager, I generally get more time with the more preferable jobs, and less time with those such as waiting tables and busing them.

HattoriHeiji: You can still have sneaked back. I have to check all possible methods.\

HasimotoMai: I took my shift for cooking first, when Ochi-san came on shift.

HanariMayu: Ah... tantei-han?

HanariMayu: I was the one who found the body. It was my turn to cook.

* HattoriHeiji nod.

HanariMayu: But you see, I don't think anyone could sneak back into the kitchen.

HattoriHeiji: Why not?

EdogawaConan: Only one door, right?

HanariMayu: They'd have to pass the host's podium, so no one but the host could get in, and then the cooks on duty would be surprised.

HasimotoMai: Hey, that's right. Nice thinking, Hanari-han!

* HanariMayu blushes.

HanariMayu: Also...

* HattoriHeiji narrows his eyes

HanariMayu: I didn't walk in on the cook at the beginning of my cooking shift-- I accidentally left my apron on, and I'm not supposed to wait table with it.

HanariMayu: So I came back, and he was on the floor.

HanariMayu: That is to say, it was at the end of my shift.

HattoriHeiji: I see... Then you were the last person to see him as well

HanariMayu: I made the chicken dish, if it helps at all.

* EdogawaConan is investigating the area around the body for any clues he can find.

HasimotoMai: Well, maybe you want to ask some questions of the other staff?

HattoriHeiji: Right.

* MouriRan blushes.

MouriRan: It's that Shinichi again...

MouriRan: I- I mean Shinichi-san...

HattoriHeiji: So, Shinichi-san. You left not too long before the scream happened. What did you do in that time?

ChishuShinichi: My job.

ChishuShinichi: What's all this about, anyway?

ChishuShinichi: Why is there an officer back here?

HattoriHeiji: Someone, your chef, was murdered, Shinichi-san.

ChishuShinichi: What? Ochi-han?!

FumihikoAoi: Oh no-- poor Ochi-san...

HattoriHeiji: I'm afraid so. I am going to have to ask for alibis.

ChishuShinichi: I wasn't anywhere near there. I was earning tips at the time.

EdogawaConan: \Doing what? Hitting on every girl in the place?\

* EdogawaConan comes to stand by Heiji and listen to the questioning, having gathered nothing new from his search of the kitchen.

FumihikoAoi: Un. I was cleaning tables.

ToyamaKazuha: Let's hope he's not the one who committed the murder.

HattoriHeiji: Who else had cook shift before the current one?

ChishuShinichi: Uh... probably everyone, right? I know I cycled through...

MouriRan: Eh?! That'd be so awkward... Like that one time in that village... I was so surprised! That Shinichi was a fake back then...

FumihikoAoi: Un. I also cycled through, though I was one of the earlier ones...

EdogawaConan: \Yeah, but he's not your Shinichi, Ran! That guy doesn't even look like me!\

* EdogawaConan seems a little grumpy.

HattoriHeiji: For the day?

ChishuShinichi: The day? No way.

ToyamaKazuha: Un, that would've been even worse, ne?

FumihikoAoi: Er-- Let me explain. What Chishu-san means is that we all got on shift at the same time, we cycle through our jobs twice or three times, then we all get off shift at the same time.

FumihikoAoi: Our work schedule is somewhat unique.

FumihikoAoi: I believe it was set up as an experiment to test worker efficiency in multiple job skills.

ChishuShinichi: Yeah. Some of us are better than others, but we're all a big happy family.

* ChishuShinichi grins.

FumihikoAoi: Clearly someone wasn't so happy with Ochi-han...

* ChishuShinichi gives a bitter expression and drops the light attitude.

ChishuShinichi: Yeah, I guess you're right.

EdogawaConan: Do you know who didn't like him?

EdogawaConan: *trying to talk to Chishu-san*

ChishuShinichi: I dunno. I thought everyone got along pretty good. Fukuda-han wanted to be the head cook, so he might be a little miffed, but I'm not really sure...

ChishuShinichi: Hey, wait, you're that kid from before!

ChishuShinichi: What are you doing back here?

EdogawaConan: Helping Heiji-niichan.

HattoriHeiji: Yeah. He likes to play detective. *smile*

ChishuShinichi: Yeah? Alright, you be careful little guy. Maybe you should go back to your big sister...

HattoriHeiji: Nono, he's all right with me.

ChishuShinichi: Alright then...

HattoriHeiji: Who else passed into the kitchen?

BlueDescriptionBox: Chishu Shinichi (22) - Diner Worker/Casanova

ChishuShinichi: Not sure. Like I said, probably everyone.

FumihikoAoi: You should check with Hasimoto-han.

BlueDescriptionBox: Fumihiko Aoi (29) - Diner Worker

HattoriHeiji: Hm...

HattoriHeiji: Can you tell me who made what food then?

HattoriHeiji: Hanari said she made the chicken, how about the rest.

ChishuShinichi: What we cooked...?

FumihikoAoi: Ah... what was it?

FumihikoAoi: After a while the orders seem to run together...

ChishuShinichi: Yeah, I don't think I made pork or takoyaki, though. Those were orders I took...

* HattoriHeiji whispers to Ohtaki-han

Ohtaki-han: Ah, right. I'll have my people get on that.

FumihikoAoi: I made the curry, the agedashi, or the katsu. I can't quite remember which...

ChishuShinichi: Well, detective, who did it?

Episode 27: Three Heirs Murder Case, Part 2

{Episode 27}

Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t5Nc0VVmjU

MouriKogoro: Last time on Detective Conan, I, the great detective Mouri Kogoro got called into a job. Of course Ran and that freeloader came along... Things were just going fine and all to plan when horror struck the house hold. The head of the family was found dead on the front lawn. One of the brothers I was told to keep an eye on had been missing the whole time we were there.

MouriKogoro: Just as we approached his room, he refused to answer. We got a key to open the door, what did we see?

MouriRan: And again in Detective Conan, more corpses, more deaths, more murders, and more of that stuff. Gah, I hate this! *leaves the room*

MouriKogoro: Well, you'll have to see on this episode of Detective Conan!

KawanoKane: [Cue Title]

{Three Heirs Murder Case, Part 2}

[3...

[2...

[1...

MouriKogoro: [Cue scene]

{The hallway outside Kawano Kenji's room}

MouriKogoro: We are coming in, Kenji-san! *he barged in so he was in front to observe the scene*

* KawanoKenji is leaning forward on his desk.

* KawanoKenji is supporting his head with his right hand, looking down at the top of it.

MouriKogoro: Oi... You all stay back. *puts his arm up and approaches him*

KawanoKane: Hey, are you alright?

* KawanoKenji doesn't move.

MouriKogoro: *touches his neck for a pulse*

* EdogawaConan walks in and looks around.

* KawanoKenji falls over on the side opposite he was touched.

* MouriKogoro shakes his head

KawanoKane: Kenji-kun?!

MouriKogoro: Damn it. Two are dead

* EdogawaConan goes over to investigate Kenji-san more closely.

KawanoKita: What?

KawanoKita: That can't be!

MouriKogoro: Oi, didn't I tell you to stay back?! *picks up Conan and carries him to the door.

* EdogawaConan flails, trying to escape from ojisan's grip.

EdogawaConan: Hey, ojisan!!

MouriKogoro: Where are the police? *looks at Kita*

EdogawaConan: But I wanna help!

KawanoKita: How should I know?

KawanoKita: They should be here soon, but we're far out in the country.

MouriKogoro: Your brother and father just died on the same day, you think you could show some emotion?!

* MouriKogoro takes out a hanky and closes the door

* KawanoKita glares at Kogoro.

MouriKogoro: Bring everyone to the main hall.

KawanoKane: Right, but I think everyone is here, since we brought Kinjo-san up.

* KinjoMasajun nods.

MouriKogoro: Then questioning should be easy...

KawanoKita: Wait a minute, what about the cook?

KinjoMasajun: Didn't I tell you before? The cook is out this evening.

KawanoKane: I cooked tonight's meal, not that you ever stopped to acknowledge who you're giving "compliments" to.

KinjoMasajun: That's correct.

KawanoKita: I see. Well, we should probably go to the sitting room anyway: better than being out in the hall.

KawanoKane: "Better than being out in the hall"? That's all you have to say?

* EdogawaConan escapes from Kogoro and goes back to investigate the second scene again.

KinjoMasajun: If I may, Kogoro-san.

MouriKogoro: Yes.

KinjoMasajun: I'm the only one with a master key to the house. Since Kenji-san locked his door, I don't know how someone could have entered the room.

MouriKogoro: Then it's a locked room murder case as far as we know. As soon as the police get here, we can investigate farther...

MouriKogoro: Kinjo-san, Kita-san, where were you two before and at the time that Kawano-san was murdered?

* EdogawaConan is wandering around Kenji-san's room, looking for clues.

KawanoKita: Wait, murder?

KawanoKita: You couldn't possibly think one of us is responsible for this, could you?

MouriKogoro: Besides Ran, Conan, and myself, any of you could be the culprit.

KawanoKita: So you're accusing my brother and our family's assistant? You're the shady character, Kogoro-san. Exactly what was your relationship with our father?

EdogawaConan: \Good thing I put that button in his pocket earlier...\ *half-listening through the glasses to Kogoro questioning the others*

MouriKogoro: I was hired to do a job for him.

KawanoKane: He's also accusing you, Kita-san. It's no secret that you've been angling to gain control of father's assets after he died. Are you eliminating the competition?

* KawanoKita glares at Kane.

KawanoKita: And what about you? You're going broke ever since he cut you off. Finding it a little hard to keep afloat without help?

KinjoMasajun: Please, stop fighting. What would Kawano-sama say?

* KawanoKane glares at Kita and puts his hands up before turning away and walking toward the sitting room.

MouriKogoro: This is no time or place to fight.

MouriKogoro: Now, Kita-san, where were you before you found Kawano-san's body?

KawanoKita: Where was I before I found his body? I was upstairs, don't you remember me leaving?

EdogawaConan: \Strangled with a wire, and then the body was positioned afterward.....\ *goes to look at the lock* \No way anyone could've picked this, it's much too complicated...which means someone had the key...\

MouriKogoro: Kinjo-san, what about you?

KinjoMasajun: I was downstairs, in the dining room, helping clean up after the meal.

MouriKogoro: Hmm. You are the only one who can't be verified...

* EdogawaConan goes back to check the body again.

EdogawaConan: \Kuso....can't really tell....he hasn't been dead all that long, but....where's the wire anyway?\ *goes looking for the wire, and any other clues he can pick up on the way, still keeping half an ear out for Kogoro's conversation coming through the glasses*

KinjoMasajun: Er-- Kogoro-san?

MouriKogoro: What?

MouriKogoro: \I need to go outside to check the rigor mortis\

KinjoMasajun: I don't know if this helps, but what Kane-kun and Kita-kun said before was accurate.

KinjoMasajun: If it was either of them, it could have been motivated by Kawano-sama's fortune. There was reason to believe he thought one of his sons was unworthy of his inheritance.

KawanoKane: That's out of line!

KawanoKita: It's true, though. Didn't you already say you were worried about father judging each of us? Even I can admit that I was worried he'd write me out.

MouriKogoro: That's very true, but they both have valid alibis for Kawano's murder; we don't know enough about Kenji's to make an assumption.

* MouriRan starts playing the piano

* EdogawaConan goes to have another look at the lock, trying to see if any part of it might have been manipulated in any way.

* Piano hits an awkward note on a key near the middle of the piano.

MouriKogoro: Ah! \So that’s how it was!\

EdogawaConan: Huh? *noting the weird note*

MouriRan: Uh?... This... *plays again* This key...

* Piano hits an awkward note again.

* EdogawaConan runs to check out the piano.

EdogawaConan: Ran-neechan!

MouriRan: Ah? Conan-kun...

EdogawaConan: *darting into the piano room*

EdogawaConan: The piano sounds weird....*runs over to it and jumps up for a closer look at the strings*

MouriKogoro: \So that's how it was...\

* Piano reveals that one of the keys near the middle of the case is loose.

EdogawaConan: \The wire that was used to kill Kenji-san must've been hidden in here...or taken from here…*\

MouriRan: A... wire?

EdogawaConan: What key was that? The sour note?

MouriRan: Look... *points at the wire*

* MouriKogoro runs to the piano room

MouriRan: This one... *plays the key* See? The wire is making it sound weird... I don’t get it... A wire, here?

MouriKogoro: I've got it. Who killed Kenji-san.

MouriKogoro: Ran, you found the evidence

KawanoKane: You do?

MouriRan: Kenji-san...?!

MouriKogoro: That's right, Kane-san.

EdogawaConan: \Well, we certainly found where he hid the murder weapon at least...\

EdogawaConan: Ne, Ran-neechan? Can you play that song again? The one Kane-san was playing for us earlier? Please?

MouriRan: Kenji-san is dead?! *stares at Conan* Moonlight Sonata? S--- Sure...

* Piano has sheet music on it.

* MouriRan sits in front of the piano and starts playing

MouriKogoro: Ah. Unfortunately.

* Piano sounds horribly out of tune as the note is hit several times.

EdogawaConan: Ne, Ran-neechan...that doesn't sound like how Kane-san was playing it earlier....

KawanoKane: Hm?

* EdogawaConan is giving the Kane the "I have you now..." stare.

* KawanoKane smiles and taps his head.

KawanoKane: You're right, good catch little guy.

KawanoKane: I don't play to the sheet music. I have the song memorized by heart.

EdogawaConan: You played it lower so you wouldn't hit the busted key. How long has that key been busted?

KawanoKane: I play the song naturally lower on the keyboard, because it sounds better when played on the low end.

KawanoKane: I guess that's why I didn't notice the keyboard being out of tune...

MouriRan: ... There's something... Even if you change the tone...

* MouriRan starts playing Moonlight sonata again, lower on the keyboard

* Piano sounds like before.

MouriKogoro: Hm.

MouriKogoro: *smiles*

EdogawaConan: So it's just the one key that's busted.

EdogawaConan: And you knew it was busted....

* KawanoKane shrugs.

KawanoKane: I didn't know.

KawanoKane: Like I said, I prefer to play Moonlight Sonata on the low end.

MouriKogoro: Hm.

* MouriKogoro chuckles

MouriKogoro: I know who did it, I know what happened

MouriKogoro: It was you, Kita-san!

KawanoKita: What?

* KawanoKane scoffs.

KawanoKita: Yes, I imagine you have determined I killed my father by breaking the piano? Stop making a fool of yourself, tantei.

MouriKogoro: Just by that?

* MouriRan plays every key in the keyboard, to see if any other key sounds weird

* Piano only has one busted key.

MouriKogoro: Your father told me how you were a greedy man. There is no doubt you'd kill him in order to get the money. All that was left was to kill your brothers.

KawanoKita: That's preposterous!

MouriKogoro: But, killing both would seem suspicious. So you tried to frame Kane by taking a wire from the piano since you knew he was skilled at it.

KawanoKita: And what proof do you have of these wild accusations?

MouriKogoro: Aya....

* MouriKogoro realizes something

MouriKogoro: Kita-san, are you a smoker?

KawanoKita: What does that have to do with anything?

MouriKogoro: I'll be glad to explain if you'll answer my question.

KawanoKita: No, I don't smoke. I'm no hypocrite.

MouriKogoro: Hooo~?

MouriRan: \The... lighter?... \

MouriKogoro: You were the one who brought up your father used to smoke, and told all of you he stopped. But from what he told me, you don't keep in touch all that often. You could have easily switched lighters seeing as how you were the only one who could make the switch seeing as you were the one who found the body.

KawanoKita: I could understand your implication of me if you were trying to say I gave him lung cancer...

KawanoKita: but I don't really understand what you're getting at otherwise.

MouriKogoro: I'm saying you made sure the lighter he had with him was combustible, so when he had a light it'd explode.

MouriKogoro: Then after he had died from the burns, you went to the body to switch the combusted lighter with a "new" one.

KawanoKita: And what did I do with this theoretical lighter of yours?

MouriKogoro: Well, seeing as how you have been with us the whole time, it should be on you.

MouriKogoro: Kita-san, empty your pockets.

* KawanoKita turns out his pockets, and a half-combusted lighter falls out.

KawanoKita: What?

KawanoKita: That's not mine.

KawanoKane: It looks like you've been caught red handed by the great detective, brother.

KinjoMasajun: I can't believe it.

KawanoKita: This isn't my lighter! I've been framed!

MouriKogoro: To do something so despicable...

MouriKogoro: Like I said, it'd been impossible to ditch it without someone noticing. Just give up. You've been caught

* EdogawaConan hops down from the piano and shoots Kogoro with the tranq watch.

EdogawaConan: \Enough. I'll take it from here, occhan.\ *dialing the bowtie to the right voice*

MouriKogoro: Ayaaa~~ *sits on the piano bench cross legged*

EdogawaConan: *Mouri* Ah, Kita-san, it isn't you.

KawanoKane: What?!

KawanoKita: ... Is this some kind of sick joke?

Conan|Mouri: Not a joke. A test.

KawanoKita: What kind of test was that?!

KawanoKane: That's not important, you idiot.

KawanoKane: Who was the killer, then?

Conan|Mouri: That should be obvious, Kane-kun. The killer...is you!

MouriRan: K--- Kane-san?

KawanoKane: What?!

KawanoKane: Who are you going to accuse next? Kinjo-san?

Conan|Mouri: No, Kane-kun, I'm afraid I don't have time to play games tonight.

Conan|Mouri: Your trick was clever, but I'm afraid you made a dire mistake when you underestimated me as your opponent.

MouriRan: But... Dad...

MouriRan: He was with us!

Conan|Mouri: That's correct, Ran, but it was only part of the trick.

MouriRan: ... How?!

Conan|Mouri: You see, Kane-kun made sure that he wouldn't have to be at the crime scene for the first crime, and for the second, he was careful to take care of things ahead of time.

Conan|Mouri: Kenji-kun was dead before dinner. That's the reason you played low on the piano.

KawanoKane: That's hardly proof at all. I didn't know that choosing to play low was now evidence of murder.

Conan|Mouri: That alone isn't, but I'll get there in a moment.

Conan|Mouri: Now, I think it's obvious at this point that you used the piano's wire to strangle Kenji-kun.

KawanoKane: Even if that's true, then how could I get in the room?

Conan|Mouri: We only assumed the room was locked. Conan-kun noticed that the locks on the doors are advanced five-pin locks. This is significant, because high security locks have false pins that cause them all to reset if pressed.

Conan|Mouri: You simply killed Kenji-kun, and pressed a false switch to make the room lock.

Conan|Mouri: But perhaps my largest clue was when you told us that you were the cook this evening.

* KawanoKane gives a shocked look.

Conan|Mouri: I noticed that Kiyoshi-san told us the salad was bitter, so I resolved to try some.

Conan|Mouri: He was correct, but I didn't realize until much later just why that was.

Conan|Mouri: After noting this, I checked the scent. A characteristic sweet, but unpleasant smell confirmed my suspicions.

Conan|Mouri: Diethyl ether. A liquid with an extremely low flash point, but used to be commonly mixed with other foods for recreational consumption.

Conan|Mouri: I noticed you mentioned that it didn't seem bitter at all, despite what I tasted.

Conan|Mouri: Diethyl ether is absolutely safe for consumption, as long as not mixed with fire.

Conan|Mouri: When Kiyoshi-san went to use his lighter, the flame near his mouth engulfed his whole throat in fire.

Conan|Mouri: The bitter dressing for the salad was, in summary, your handiwork, as the cook.

Conan|Mouri: Even if Kiyoshi-san had been able to scream with his throat on fire, we wouldn't be able to hear over your recital of Moonlight Sonata.

Conan|Mouri: All you had left to do was plant the fake lighter on Kita-kun and wait for me to fall into your trap, which I almost did.

* MouriRan stares at Kane

* KawanoKane stares at Kogoro.

* KawanoKane starts to chuckle softly.

KawanoKane: It's right. That's how all of it happened.

* KawanoKita shoots a glare at Kane.

KawanoKane: It was the perfect crime, you know.

KawanoKane: Our father's will stated that the estate would be split between the three of us, unless one was implicated in a felony, in which case their third was forfeit to the remaining survivors.

* MouriKogoro stands up with a solemn look on his face.

* EdogawaConan puts his bowtie away and goes to stand by Ran.

KawanoKane: I figured that if I was able to deal with Kenji-kun and father and make it look like Kita-kun did it, I would be the sole recipient.

MouriKogoro: Even with such fortune and royalties, killing your own family for your greed is the most despicable thing you could possibly do.

* MouriRan starts shedding little tears

MouriKogoro: Instead of making amends, you stooped down to low levels of evil.

* KawanoKane smiles.

KawanoKane: That's why I was laughing, Detective.

KawanoKane: I didn't realize, until seeing your brilliant work in action, that life is so much more important than money.

KawanoKane: I've been such a fool.

* KawanoKane puts his face in his hands.

* KawanoKita glares at Kane-kun at first, but then softens. "Perhaps you're right. I never valued my family before tonight but as assets, and now I'll never have the opportunity..."

* KawanoKane sobs.

KawanoKita: [Fade to black]
