Back to Scene of Crime...

"Judging by the corpse's state, the victim has died approximately two to six hours ago." The old tan detective says.

Like we don't know, Conan thought. His gaze moves on to Katsuki, and then to the suspects. Then he notices the difference in the number of people suddenly. When did the number of people change? He recognises the ones that recently joined, Rei-san, Nide-san, Amuro-san, Yagashira-san and Aoi-san. Why are they here? Conan thought, as his gaze lands on the silver-haired boy (Yes, boy because she really looks like one, only when Nide says that she is his sis had Ran knows that she is a girl. Also a fun fact: Ran thinks that Nide is a girl... So yeah...). He starts to study his face. The face of recognition. He then looks at a direction, the direction of Ran, which apparently made Conan jealous. Why in the world is he looking at Ran!? Conan thought, Somehow he seems familiar...

"Curacao..." He accidentally says the thought. The woman in the Black Organisation. Why does he look like her?

"Curacao?" Rei suddenly stands behind Conan and asks.

"Nothing, Rei-san..."

"Isn't Curacao the name of alcohol?"

"Yeah..."

"Why are you saying that?" Rei's eye changes colour, looking into his thoughts, "Is it because of me resembling someone called Curacao? The one that died?"

"What...are you talking about?" He is getting nervous.

"What do you mean 'what are you talking about'? That was literally in your mind, Mister Smarty Pants."

"How do you know..."

"I read minds, kid." She smiles, and that smile gives Conan chills.

That smile... Confidence, arrogance...

Kaitou Kid.

Why? Why would she have the same smile? What is her relationship with Kaitou Kid? Conan seems confused. He then moves his gaze to Nide. This blond girl has a high ponytail tied at the back of the head, blue eyes and slightly tan. I can't believe that he is Rei's sister, they have such a big difference, from looks to personality, Conan thought. (Yes, Conan/Shinichi thinks Nide's a girl... Nagisa can relate to that situation perfectly because he was with his mother for that past years after the divorce, and he was literally forced to become a girl because of his rebellious attitudes.)

"Um, whatcha looking at, Conan-kun?" Someone suddenly tugs his sleeve. He turns around to see Chiharu. "Just going to ask a question, Chiharu, the silver-haired boy is your cousin, right?"

"Silver-haired boy? Oh, gods... She's a girl. And let me guess, you thought that Nide is a girl?"

"Yeah..."

"He's a boy, man, he's a boy..."

What? How could that be? Conan's shocked. His face tells it all.

"Anyways, Conan. Rei-nee told me something about this case."

"What about it?"

"Well, first about this case, then about why she is staring at Ran's direction."

"Okay, I'm listening."

"First off, Yajiuya is a former scientist, and he is rich pretending to be poor. Also he is in the Black Organisation."

"What?"

"Yes, she told me she recognises him."

"Wait, that means..."

"Yes, my cousin infiltrate with that Org, and she just told me about that. Only Nide and she knows, other than that, it's Kid."

"Wait, Kid knows tha-"

"Yes. Apart from Kid, Nide is the only person that knows she is infiltrating. Anyways, The second off part you saw, Kudo-kun, is a normal habit. She is trying to keep Ran safe by observing the area around her."

"Okay... Tell me something, though."

"About what?"

"About her being able to read minds."

"Oh, I need permission to do that, but I bet Katsuki will spill that in your face if you are willing to tell her about the mysterious organisation. She is ready to make a deal with you because she knows that we are hiding something."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, but I think it is enough to solve the case. Just you and Katsuki. I can tell you there is sand near the body because of the dripping silicon, and also shreds of thin plastic."

"Wait, can I have them as evidence?"

"Sure. Here."

Chiharu takes out a white handkerchief and passes it to Conan.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Now, go tell Katsuki about the evidence. Nide-nii says that he has a bad feeling about what will happen after the case. He noted that Katsuki might go as far as becoming a monster of glares and pushing you to a corner for you to tell the truth."

With that, Chiharu pushes Conan towards the dark aura surrounding. And, even a child can guess it, the centre of it is Katsuki. She is furious, the real potential of the bloodline is showing.

"Hehe, um, Katsuki?" Conan asks awkwardly.

"What?!" The tone turns from piano to forte, expressing fury from her heart.

"I found evidence to this case."

"Oh... Sorry..." The sudden forte turns into a soft piano again, more of a whisper. There are hints of hard breathing. What happened? Conan thought.

"Anyways, I found sand and some thin shreds of plastic at the crime scene, so..."

"The culprit is Yajiuya-san."

How did she know?

"I have the instinct, a theory that somehow he is hiding that he is a rich person and a former scientist."

"How-"

"I just do. I don't know it myself, but I feel that the shadow of feelings and me are one. I can feel thoughts and emotions from them."

"Well, then how should we prove to the police that he is the culprit?"

"Just you wait, Conan-kun, I am going to talk to you later about something, so come to that hallway then. For now, I will for this guy to tell all of us the truth."

"O-okay..." Conan shutters in fear from the death glare of Katsuki.

Time Skips...

"Ne, Yajiuya-san~," Katsuki says with an innocent voice, hiding the scent of bloodlust.

"What, young girl?"

"Can you please tell me the first twenty elements of the periodic table?"

"Sure, it's Hydrogen, Helium..." He listed the elements in order correctly and fluently.

"Also, can you please tell me what happens when silicon touches air?"

"Sure, it turns crisp and into something like sand."

"Another question!"

"What is it, kid?"

"Did he attend the meeting that is two hours during the exhibit?"

"Yeah, he did."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Um, kid, why did you ask this?"

"Well, my dad asks me these questions, and I just want the answers. I thought about it for quite a long time. And also, Mouri-san wants me to ask you the third question."

"Okay, glad I can help."

Katsuki walks out with a record on the phone. "There is the evidence, Conan-kun."

"Thank you, Katsuki-san."

She walks away silently to aside and then coughs for attention.

"Everyone, I have come to a conclusion and realise the truth to this case."

"I don't believe you, girl." Mouri says, "Stop being like a detective."

"Now, Mr Meitantei (Famous Detective), I would like to say my theory with evidence towards the respect of the rules to a detective. Now will you please, listen just for time's sake."

"Fine." Everyone mutters.

"Okay. So we all know that this person is murdered by silicon sharpened and the knife is melted at the scene. We understand that the victim is actually dead two hours ago, judging by the corpse."

"Is that right, forensics?" Inspector asks the group of blue uniforms.

"Yes."

"Now we have the time, everyone here would say this is impossible. The victim was still alive when the exhibit started! But do you know, you guys only met two of them who actually have an alibi, and that is Sasori-san and Karasuma-san."

The two sighs in relief, then both of them realise something.

"That means-"

"No way..."

"Yes, only Yajiuya-san could be the culprit," Conan says seriously.

"No way, I can't be the culprit."

"Okay, Karasuma-san, may I ask you... What is the atomic number of Helium?"

"What's Helium?"

"Exactly. Somehow, Yajiuya-san can do this." Katsuki says as Conan starts playing the record. The conversation that he and Katsuki have had just before the deduction. A silent sign of bloodlust speeds towards Yajiuya.

Yajiuya shivers.

He's the culprit.

Conan says, using the words to pin the culprit down, "Hearing the conversation, you can guess about his identity: He was a former scientist."

Everyone turns to Yajiuya.

"And from the timetable, we can conclude he was pretending to be Yoshihara-san. Why? Because Yajiuya-san was supposed to be in a meeting with someone. How would he know Yoshihara-san attend the conference during the exhibition? He cancels the meeting, goes and kills Yoshihara-san, and disguises as him." Conan says.

All eyes on Yajiuya as he falls to the floor.

"When did you realise it was me, kids?"

"You're rich."

"But-"

"There's a pure gold ring on your middle finger. If you can offer a pure gold ring, you can certainly offer silicon."

Yajiuya sighs like a deflated balloon. "It's all that man's fault. He recently starts to blackmail me when start to meet with someone. He took photos and said to me... 'If you want to erase the record, you have to pay me more money!' And he starts to add the amount higher and higher. Time after time, the money is getting too high, so... The rest is just like you lot have said..."

"Well, go think about it in jail, murderer," Inspector says as a member of police cuffs Yajiuya.

"Well, that was quick!" Conan sighs in relief.

"Remember what you have to do, though, Shinichi-niisan?" Chiharu asks.

"Oh... Katsuki's going to kill me..."

"Conan, come here." Katsuki hisses in English.

Oh no... Conan thought. I am so doomed. He gulps and goes to the hallway. No one is in this hallway. Katsuki corners him easily.

"Conan, I know you are hiding something from me. Something about the guy is strange as well. He's darker than expected. I suspect you know something about that. Tell me." Katsuki whispers in English.

"Um..." Conan tenses.

"Well, I'll give you a deal. I will tell you the history of my family, and you tell me that secret. If you don't, I will kill you."

"Fine..." Conan says, surrenders to the intense stare and bloodlust upon him.

"Okay, I am going to say this plainly. My family is a dead silent family. Shizuko means silent, and that is a significant aspect when you are an assassin, ready to attack your prey.

"I am born with the skill to kill, so I thought of using this skill to help others or to save others. Okay, have I mentioned the red dot? It's the Bloody-Mary Rose Organisation, an Italian Mafia org, and in the past, our family works for them to kill the people to get money. In other words, the riches in the family we have are bloody dirty money. No one in our family likes that, so they put the skills elsewhere. My parents quickly forgot me, as I am still small and have no ability while I have sharp instinct and stealth.

"As for me, I want to protect you, so please tell me that secret. I keep secrets well."

"Okay, time to hear this side of the story..." Conan says, then he told her about the same thing Conan told Chiharu on the train.

"Oh... I see. I'll help."

"Huh?" Conan was shocked to hear that fast reply of help.

"I'll help. I cannot afford to lose a friendly soul."

"Thanks, I guess?"

"You're welcome."

They walk out of the hallway, and the tension of the atmosphere softens. "So we're still friends?" Conan asks. "Yeah, friends." Chiharu comes into view. "So, how did it go? Chiharu asks both of them. "It's fine, just takes a bit of courage."

In the shadows, stand a woman with blond-white hair. Her red lips curls into a smile.

Yajiuya is caught by the police. She types on her phone and sends the email.

At the other end, The Black Organisation, Gin receives the mail. Rei and another girl, about Rei's age but looks almost identical to Katsuki, stands ready for orders. Rei has a gun, and that girl has a long, slim black bag with a rifle in it. "Now, Rei and Akira, That Guy says that if Yajiuya's caught, you two need to go to the place where he is held captive and kill him. Understood?"

"Understood, Gin." Both grin bloodthirstily.

As those two walk out, Rei says to the girl name Akira.

"Let's do it, Ku-san."

"Yeah." She mutters.

Time Skips...

The next day, Yajiuya's body was found in the jail, the door is swinging freely, and a pool of blood can be seen flooding the floor, a headshot through the bars.

I finally finished!

And by the way, Rei does looks like Curacao when the other eye changes colours, right?

I have been writing to you guys for a while, so just take a guess. How old am I? I am just interested about that.

Thank you for reading along, and sorry for a slow update.

This is Sorry, Thank you and Goodbye from...
