File 7: The Murdered Wife, The Convicted Husband and the Truth (Part 1)

"Yo, Ran!" Sonoko calls Ran on the phone, as Miku enters the door along with Sera. "Hi, Ran-san," Miku says smiling. "Um, sorry, Ryoko-san, but I have a call with Sonoko right now." "Oh."

Then someone bursts open the door. A dark skin boy comes out. Conan looks at his entrance and presence with a sarcastic look. Oi, oi, Conan thought.

"My gods, mister Hattori Heiji, can't you just put the f**king volume down a bit, You know?! Someone here is trying to have a phone call, and you just bust in the door, so put the s**t down!"Miku pins Heiji to a wall and scowls in a hushed tone.

"Uh... O...Kay?" Heiji says, while he thought, this language sounds like another person in the Kudo family that I know...

"Anyways, things are getting complicated here, so Sonoko..." Ran says.

"It's fine! We are all going to the park to have a picnic, I have a guest for you all! He gives riddles so all of us can have fun solving them in this picnic time!" Sonoko says.

"Riddles? Sounds like fun, ne? Conan-kun and Hattori-kun?" Sera asks.

Heiji shows a face of not interested, and Conan gives a look of "I don't want to go, but I have to". Miku sighs, "Suzuki-san, can you take one more?"

"Why's that?" Sera asks.

"Oh, it's because Chiharu will be coming with me. She says to meet me at the detective agency. Looks like she's-"

"What are you saying?"

The white hair girl is now behind Miku. "Wha-When did you come in?" Miku asks.

"Just before you guys. Why are you asking?"

"Because we didn't see you when we came in?" Sera says.

"First off, Sera-neesan, it's a sarcastic question, because I know the answer; Second off, I am a sneaky person, so no questions needed."

"Masumi-san..." Miku says.

"What?"

"Don't mess with her. Apparently she as an IQ over 200."

"WHAT?" Sera shouts, surprised by the knowledge of this innocent girl.

"What what?" Heiji and Conan ask in unison.

"Did you know that Chiharu has an IQ over 200?"

"Are you telling lies?" Hattori asks.

"Well, I beat Conan-kun in a case."

"Yeah, she did," Conan says, still unimpressed by the girl's talent in logic.

"Actually, guys, we better get going." Ran say, ending the call with Sonoko, "We are meeting Sonoko and the whoever-the-guest-is at Beika park."

"Hai, hai... (Yes, yes...)" Everyone says in unison.

Time Skips...

"Yo! Ran!" Sonoko walks up to Ran while dragging three people towards the group at the park.

"Well, what do you have there?" Miku comes close to the couple.

"Ah! I forgot to introduce to you these people." Sonoko says, "This is Minato Karachi, Moraga Karachi and their son Saki!"

"So basically the Karachi family." Sera sums it up. Ran notices Chiharu hides behind Miku. "What's wrong, Chiharu?"

"No... Nothing... R-Ran-neechan..." Chiharu hides behind Miku, bangs hiding the glasses and the sky blue eyes.

"She's just a shy girl," Miku says.

"Oh...Okay. It's fine, Chiharu-chan, we are friends, right?"

"H-hai... (Y-yes...)" Chiharu says, still a bit shy.

"Well, aside from that, Why are we meeting them?" Sera asks.

"Ah, you see..." Minato says.

"It's nothing. Let's go to the spot we have reserved for you all before." Moraga says.

Chiharu is silent throughout the whole picnic. Miku sense something's wrong. "Oi, Chiharu..." Then Miku had a conversation of Maderin with Chiharu, and it goes like this:

Bold - Miku Normal - Chiharu

"千春, 你到底发生了什么?(Chiharu, what happened to you?)"

"没有什么啦... (Nothing happened...)"

"那么是因为有危险?还是... (Then because of danger? Or...)"

"是的. 在这里有人即将死亡, 就是今天... (Yes, someone is going to die here, it's today...)"

"那么是谁会死? (Then who will die?)"

"那位母亲, 她太忧郁了... (The Mother, she's quite depressed...)"

"那么我们应该怎么办呢? (Then what should we do?)"

"Let The Fates go."

"But..."

"Trust me, it will be fine. Find the truth yourself, because I am not comfortable when new people are around."

"It's just another way of you being bashful, right?" Miku smiles.

"No." Chiharu blushes slightly.

"It's fine. I will find the truth even though I don't want to." Miku says confidently.

And to also find the truth of who I am, she thought.

Timeskips for about 5 minutes...

"Um, sorry, may I please excuse myself? I have some work to do." Moraga Karachi says, bowing.

"I also have things to work on, can I leave for just a bit?" Minato Karachi asks.

"Sure! It's okay, I will be here with our guests!" Saki says happily.

All of them continue.

Well, until Sera senses something wrong with the long period that the parents have gone.

"Isn't that too long for 'some things to work on' and 'some work to do'?" Sera starts to question.

"Yeah, I agree on that," Conan adds.

Then they hear the screaming of a guy.

"Tou-chan!" Saki yells as he runs upstairs.

Of course, for detectives, their eyes lit up like lights and runs upstairs. I mean, a case happened, what can you expect?

They found Minato sitting on the floor in shock, and staring into something in the room.

They look in, and there was a woman's body been hung, a chair that falls down on the floor, and the room is terribly shady.

p.s. to readers,

Voting for ships for the story will end when the whole File 7 is due, hopefully.

Please vote for the ships, or else your voices will not be heard, and I wouldn't be able to continue writing the stories. That means no more updates. I am sure you don't want that, so start voting and be active.
