"What..." Fujisawa Toshiaki glared fiercely at TotĹŤ Kenhito.
"Irene? Is that the actress who once defeated Sherlock Holmes in a story?" Ran asked, puzzled.
"Yes, but the owner attributed it to Holmes's misjudgment," Iwai Hitomi explained to Ran.
Tsugawa Ikufumi seemed to understand. "So he thought that book shamed Holmes, which is why..."
"Hmph! Irene is the only woman Holmes truly acknowledged! How could she mock Holmes? I simply can't imagine it! I cannot forgive you, the top Holmes fans in Japan, for doing such a thing! Unforgivable!" With that, TotĹŤ Kenhito knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Everyone looked at him crying and felt a wave of emotions.
As Conan walked past Heiji, who was leaning against the door, Heiji suddenly said, "You're Kudo, aren't you?"
"Uh?" Conan was startled. "What... what are you talking about? I'm clearly just a child."
"Stop playing dumb. I sneakily saw it." As he spoke, Heiji held Conan's bow-tie voice changer and looked at it. "You're using this to imitate my voice, aren't you?"
"When did you know?" Conan hadn't expected Heiji to see it.
"From the moment that old man hit me!" Heiji rubbed his hit head. "Although your accent is strange, your tone and deduction methods are just like Shinichi Kudo's! There's no mistake!"
"..." At this point, Conan was speechless, looking at Yuu beside him. Yuu looked at Conan and walked away, pretending not to know anything.
"Yuu! How could you do this to me!" Conan wailed.
"That guy looks a lot like the kid who was next to you last time," Heiji said thoughtfully, looking at Yuu's retreating back.
...
"Huh? Shrunk because of medicine? Both of you?" Heiji, sitting on the long-distance bus, was surprised. "So you're hiding in the house of the girl you like, waiting for an opportunity to investigate the organization? Then why did Yuu turn back?" Heiji looked at Yuu, who was sitting on the other side, looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Yuu is just a special case," Conan said, clutching his head and pouting. "I don't even like that troublesome woman!"
"Ran, let me tell you, Shinichi told me last time that you're very troublesome and unbearable." Heiji was still remembering how Conan had knocked him out.
"What?!" Ran was furious.
"Damn it, how is this guy as annoying as Yuu?" Conan helplessly looked at the smirking Heiji.
...
"Yuu, why did you agree for me to tell Heiji about the organization?" Conan asked, puzzled. Yuu explained over the phone, "In that situation, did we have any other choice? If you didn't tell him, he would have told Ran that you were Shinichi. But it's alright, I've already investigated.
His father is the Head of the Osaka Prefectural Police, a Superintendent General. He should be someone we can trust. His ability is also quite good; he only met you twice and already discovered a secret that Uncle Mouri hasn't noticed. He'll be a good helper when we fight the organization, and we can use his father's connections."
"Alright," Conan grudgingly agreed with Yuu's statement. Yuu, hanging up the phone, muttered to himself, "Should I tell you that I only knew Heiji could be trusted because I read the manga?"
"What trust?" Ai Haibara suddenly spoke up from behind Yuu.
"Whoa! Don't suddenly scare me like that, Haibara."
"Oh? You didn't know I was here?" Ai Haibara looked at Yuu playfully.
"If you reveal everything, life loses its fun, don't you agree, Haibara?" Saying so, Yuu walked towards his room.
"..." Ai Haibara watched Yuu enter his room without a word. She found Yuu to be a very mysterious person, and her curiosity about him grew stronger.
...
"Huh? What's Phantom Thief 1412?" Ran, walking home from school with Sonoko, was startled and didn't hear what Sonoko had just said clearly.
"That's right! He's the middle-aged thief that young girls nowadays all like!" Sonoko said in surprise. "As the daughter of a detective, how can you not know?"
"Please, it's not like I like solving cases." Ran glared at Sonoko dismissively and continued walking forward. "Next, you're going to tell me that you hope my dad can catch this thief, right?"
"That's it! The Beika Museum is currently holding a jewelry exhibition with famous gems from all over the world." The light turned red, and Ran and Sonoko stopped. "So, I hope your dad can protect our family's heirloom gem that's being exhibited. It's a lucky pearl called 'Black Star'." Sonoko looked at Ran sincerely.
"But my dad doesn't need to get involved in something like this. We just need to ask the police for protection!"
"No way, if he's caught by the police, that thief will just be taken away by the police. But if your dad catches him, maybe I'll have a chance to see his true face." Sonoko said, swooning.
"True face?!" Ran was a bit confused.
"Because he's a world-renowned thief! Aren't you curious what he looks like?" Sonoko said excitedly. "He must be a handsome middle-aged man, I wonder if he looks like Harry Houdini, or John Lennon?"
"Probably," Ran said with a helpless smile upon hearing Sonoko's words.
Suddenly, the figure of Kaito Kuroba, who looked incredibly similar to Shinichi, flashed before Ran's eyes. "Shi... Shinichi!" Ran, mistaking Kaito Kuroba for Shinichi, ran towards Kaito Kuroba, who was laughing and talking with Aoko Nakamori beside him.
"Ran, the light's red!" Sonoko grabbed Ran, who was about to chase after him.
"But, I just saw Shinichi..."
