Chapter 1
"Hello?" said conanedogawa142 as he picked up his cellphone.
"Who is this?!" The voice on the phone demanded.
"This is.......um.....Mouri Detective Agency....." conanedogawa142 replied nervously.
There was silence on the phone. Finally, that person hung up.
That's strange. thought conanedogawa142.

YOUR TURN TO BE IN THE STORY!
Spoiler:
So far, this is the story right now:
Chapter 1
"Hello?" said conanedogawa142 as he picked up his cellphone.
"Who is this?!" The voice on the phone demanded.
"This is.......um.....Mouri Detective Agency....." conanedogawa142 replied nervously.
There was silence on the phone. Finally, that person hung up.
That's strange. thought conanedogawa142.
...........................
"Dammit. Now I'm gonna seem like a stalker." The JDC loli, alicetama said, putting the phone down. "There is NO WAY I can ask for help with this. But he is the only one who can solve it..." She sighed.
.........................
Commi-Ninja waltzed into the Detective Agency just then (yes, waltzed), and said "I've got a case for you to solve!"
"What KIND of case?" asked conanedogawa142 to Commi-Ninja.
I'll have to finish this case later, thought conanedogawa142.
"Well," the ninja started, "You see, it's my sister. She's gone missing, and I can't seem to find her anywhere. The last place she was seen was the City Zoo. Here's a photograph you may reference." She handed conanedogawa142 a tattered photograph featuring a large, flaming bird.
At this very moment, the door opened yet again, and in came Dus, returning from his lunch break at the Café Poirot.
"Oh, a customer! And quite a charming one as well!"
He kissed the back of commi-ninja's hand
"How can I be of assistance, pray tell?"
At this rather unfortunate moment, Dus turned into a raccon. He squeaked.
"It's most likely you can find her by asking one of the workers there, because anyone would think a large bird is part of the zoo" said conanedogawa142 to Commi-Ninja. "Your sister was captured."
"I wonder what that strange phone call was about...." thought conanedogawa142 as his thoughts lingered back to the phone call.
"This person's sister is missing" explained conanedogawa to Dus.
Commi-Ninja stared awkwardly at the man-turned-raccoon that kissed her hand. "You know, you're actually kind of cute like that."
Behind Commi-Ninja and Dus, conanedogawa142 cleared his throat. "Okay, let's go to the zoo to investigate!"
Dus got very scared at the mentioning of the word zoo and gnawed at conanedogawa142's face.
....................................
"Ugh... I guess meeting him in person would be better..." The young girl dressed in lolita got up from her chair.
..................................
A couple of minutes later, she arrived at the detective agency. "Alright, can you solve this case for me?" She stepped through the door, and found a raccoon gnawing at the detective's face. She couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, little girl, but he's busy looking for my sister. Unless your case involves going to the Zoo, it will have to wait." replied the ninja, as the detective was busy with the raccoon.
"Little girl? LITTLE GIRL?! I have you know I'm 14 years old!" The girl hated it when she was called 'little'. "Wait, you're trying to find your sister? Maybe your case and mine are intertwined..."
As Dus was attacking his face, conanedogawa142 took out his stun gun watch and shot the racoon in the neck. Dus fell to the floor, asleep.
"A...amazing... CAN I HAVE ONE?!" Alicetama's eyes went all kira-kira.
"Sorry......I dont think the professor that made this watch would want to make ANOTHER one," conanedogawa142 told Alicetama apologectly.
..............................................
Meanwhile at the zoo.
"Yaaaay, I found a oversize heater in the form of a bird! Strangely *hick* it's also talking. But I gor it uuuunder control. Now I'm gonna take you hoooome. Polly wants a cracker?"
Kleene Onigiri dragged the sister of Commi-ninja forcefully away, while leaving the purse of the sister behind... and some empty vodka bottles too...
..............................................
Chapter 2
breva was patrolling at the zoo.
"Looks like someone lost their purse," said breva "I should find the owner."
On the phone: I need your help...
---------------------------------------
Does anyone have a way to get to the zoo?" conanedogawa142 asked as he looked sheepishly at Dus lying on the ground. "And we'll need to take him because this is his detective office."
"I can drive us there!" Dus said all of a sudden. He had returned to his human form while no-one was looking, apparently.
Suddenly, a voice made them turn around. A young man of twenty years stood in the door, apparently a little confused by the events he witnessed. "Sorry for me intruding, the door was open... Anyway, is this the Mouri Detective Agency?" Callid asked.
"Why, yes it is! Do you have a case for me that doesn't involve going to the zoo?" said Dus.
"And what's your name, Mr.? Oh, right, I forgot...." conanedogawa142 said turning to Alicetama and Commi-Ninja. "What are your names?"
"You don't need to know my name. In fact, it's better for you if you don't." Commi-Ninja said mysteriously.
"My name is Veresov, with two V. And I indeed have a case for you; my chess playing partner disappeared about four days ago, and hasn't been seen anywhere since then. So I'm here 'cause I hope you could find him. Perhaps this photo of the both of us will help you; I'm the one on the right."
He handed the picture over.
Conanedogawa142 tried to hide his laughing at Dus's strange deduction.
"We still need to solve their cases!" conanedogawa142 pointed at the other people in the room.
Dus hit ConanEdogawa142 on the head for snickering at his deduction. Then he said to Commi-Ninja "Well, a secret makes a woman woman, right mademoiselle?" and gave his signature laugh.
Conanedogawa142 rubbed the bump on his head with his hand. "Ouch....I think I'll go sit down while you go solve all three of these people's problems........."
Callid looked at Dus: "No, you're sadly wrong. He face-palmed because he noticed he had just made a pretty stupid move. And the photo is most likely completely unrelated, as it was taken about half a year ago." He adds, completely serious, "Still, I'm amazed by your deduction skills. It was clearly the right choice to have you find him. Who else could have figured out the part about the pawns?"
Dus laughed his signature laugh again. "Well, they don't call me Araiguma no Dus for nothing. So, where was the last place you have seen your friend?"
Callid put down his hat and, nervously fingering it, replied: "Well, you see, that should have been my house, three districts from here. We played a game of chess in the evening, and he left around 23 o'clock and I supposed he walked home - his house is just a few streets away- but it seems he never arrived; when I phoned his wife the other day, she said she hadn't seen him since he left for my house."
"Who won said game of chess?"
"It ended in a remis, a draw. Which was quite a success for him, compared to the usual results." Callid smiled a sad smile.
"I see. Did you notice anything odd about him that night? Something he said, maybe?"
"No, he was perfectly normal. Just like every evening."
Dus scratched his chin, obviously clueless. "How was his marriage? Did he have any enemies? Did he like prune juice?"
Clueless as usual, conanedogawa142 thought as he was watching them.
"Do you think I should help him?" conanedogawa142 whispered to Commi-Ninja and Alicetama.
"His marriage was going well, at least as far as I know. Well, I've seen his wife pretty seldom, so I can't say. I think there was one guy at work who disliked him, but I can't recall him having any "real" enemies. And no, he strongly disliked prune juice, but why do you ask?" Callid asked Dus.
"He didn't like prune juice? I think we're on to something here! What are his thoughts on the topic of subsidies for Polish plumbers?"
Why the heck is Dus asking random questions now? conanedogawa142 wondered.
And what if that phone call was from that organization? Then why did they call? This is so confusing..
Callid now seemed completely confused. "Polish plumbers? I don't know, we never talked about Polish plumbers. Is this of any importance?"
"The answer to this question may very well lead us directly to your friend, if my hunch is correct."
Commi-Ninja whispered back to conanedogawa142, "He seems a little bit off his rocker if you ask me."
"He's denseeeee." Alice whispered-not-so-quietly.
Dus's racoon senses tingled. "Don't be mistaken by my seemingly random questions, demoiselles. You have to be able to look beneath the surface of a mystery in my profession. Well, I think we should just all go to the zoo now, because this is where all the threads and clues run together."
He turns to callid.
"What was your friend's name, by the way?"
......................................
She unknowingly re-dialed the detective agency's number again. She was sure her kidnappers were out, but was unsure if they had bugged the house, she made her way through the room, and sat on the couch. Still trying to hold onto the phone for dear life, which she didn't even know she had hit the button. If anyone had answered all they would have heard was the heavy breathing, and all the many objects being moved around. She shook her head and whispered what sounded like "No good..." against the gag.
She couldn't help wonder who that long, silver-haired man was and why he was so intent on keeping her alive...And how he would know her every move inside that house. The one thing she did know was that little pink phone of hers wasn't taken at all. And hopefully she could contact someone with it before her life was taken by that man who had already inevitably killed who knows how many people.
.........................................
"Ah, he's called Iracon," Callid replied, "though we often call him by his nickname, with the two parts of his name reversed and the R left out - Conia.".
"Iracoon you say? Hmmm.... It seems that my hunch was correct. Would you mind accompanying me and these fine young ladies to the zoo?"
"Does he even listen to what people say?" Commi-Ninja asked, not so quietly.
"Hardly ever! People tend to lie to you; I only listen to cold facts and my hunch!" Dus claimed confidently "And I have solved every mystery presented to me!"
With my help... conanedogawa142 thought.
The phone rang. "i'll answer it!" Conanedogawa142 called. "Hello?" he said as he picked up the phone. All conanedogawa142 heard was breathing. "That was weird...." he said aloud as the phone hung up.
........................................
She jumped when she heard someone on the other line. She closed her eyes and tried to sound out "Help please." as best as she could. She shivered and thought about her family. Being tied up she couldn't use any of the skills she had learned. She wondered how she was even kidnapped in the first place. The battery in the phone started dying.
.........................................
"I guess I'll call back" conanedogawa142's voice sounded excited.
He pressed the redial button.
.....................................
The phone slid out of her hands, and she tried to reach for it. But then the thoughts of if that man was really surveil-lancing her, he would kill her. The ringtone became louder and louder, she looked around panicked and hit the button, though unable to say nothing. "Please..." She finally felt tears in her eyes for the first time as she struggled to free her hands from behind her back so she could at least use them for that moment.
.......................................
"There must be blood somewhere around here!" KainTheVampire started to look for blood with an evil smile on her face.
.........................................
Callid looked confused once more. "No, not Iracoon, Iracon. Just like beacon. It has nothing to do with raccoons or things like that."
"Well, I like bacon!"
Callid facepalmed. He muttered, "well, doesn't matter anyway, the con of beacon and bacon is the same anyway...".
The phone hung up again. "Arrgh!" conanedogawa142 was disappointed.
He turned to Dus. "Well, let's go to the zoo now!"
......................................
At the zoo-
She was feeding the wolves with bits of marshmallow from her parfait.
"Hey, lady! What are you doing? Didn't you see the sign?" One of the security personnel grabbed her hand and pointed to a nearby whitewashed signpost with the words Don't feed the animals written in huge red letters.
Shin jerked her hand away. "Oh puh-lease. Rules are meant to be-- blah blah blah." She waved her hand dismissively. "Run along now."
The man, looking terribly bewildered, turned away hastily. He didn't see the mischievous smirk that appeared in the girl's face.
........................................
Alicetama sighed. "I'll go along as well, then. I just have the strangest feeling that this case, and mine, are related..."
........................................
The phone rang again before they left for the zoo. She had hit the redial, while three people were downstairs talking quite loud, most likely for her to hear as they were coming upstairs to check on their prisoner.
The blonde woman looked at the young blonde girl on the floor. Even though they were the same age, "So this is the one that Anokata is looking for. He said he wants her alive and we are going to keep her that way."
The man that did the kidnapping smiled, "She probably knows better then to make a sound, especially if she knows who she's dealing with." Yuriko looked at the man with wide eyes, that was the man she remembered had followed her several times, she blinked, maybe she could figure out a way to tell the detective before the phone died.
The third man, the newest person, looked up to the silver haired man, "Aniki, what are we going to..." He pushed penguin away. "Why the heck are we keeping her in a zoo anyways."
The other man gave him a death glare and laughed. "Shut up, if someone hears you we'll be caught, and remembered the other place was infiltrated..." He hissed. "Now, we better go."
Yuriko hid the phone and looked up at her kidnappers. The woman almost seemed to want to protect her, but she had no clue why. She shivered a bit and looked down. "I'll stay here with her." The woman smiled at the two men as they left. The last time she said the same thing, but soon disappeared after the two men had left.
..........................................
"Well, I doubt you'll find my sister at the zoo, but I suppose it is possible." said Commi-Ninja.
.............................................
Shin sat on a bench in front of the tiger cages and yawned. "Nothing left to do here." She glared at the tigers, and the animals, in turn, seemingly intimidated, whimpered at the sight.
Not long after, she spotted a group walking inside the zoo's premises. She stood up and went her way towards them.
breva took a look at her watch. "Why is Mr. Mouri taking so long?" breva thought.
"I better take a look of what is inside this purse."
She opened the purse slowly, "blood!" Yelled breva with a surprised face.
Chapter 3
Conanedogawa142 spotted Shin first.
"Hello. Who are you?" he said in his friendliest voice, not trying to sound rude.
Shin looked at him from head to toe. "Hello, detective", she said with a smirk.
Alice appeared in back of conan. "Ahh, flirting aren't we? Ahh, love." She then looked at Shin and blushed. "Uh... h-hello... my name is Alice." She said, looking down fiddling with the frills on her dress.
"Oh?"
Shin raised one eyebrow and put her right hand on her hips. "Lady, you're turning red." She then changed her expression into a warm one, beaming at her with her best smile.
'Huyu~ She smiled at me.' Alice thought to herself. She then turned back to 'normal' and asked Conan, "why are you bothering this beautiful woman- we have cases to solve, you know!"
"A case?"
'Chance! I knew this day would be interesting!' Shin thought. "Can I come with you? I won't be a bother!" She asked, seemingly brimming with eagerness and curiosity.
"Well, it's not exactly a case- it's more like a lot of cases that seem to be related to each other... and I guess you could come. But you'll need to ask that idiot-looking detective over there." Alice said, pointing to Dus. 'Oh please say yes, please say yes...' She thought over and over to herself.
"Oi, stop pestering the lady!" Dus said, hitting ConanEdogawa142 on the hand. He turned to Shin: "I do apologize for the brat. The name is Dus, by the way, the world-famous detective. And of course I would appreciate such charming company."
"He wasn't pestering her you know." 'Wait a second- this bragging of his... could this old man be... hitting on her?' She thought to herself. She then proceeded to glare at Dus.
Shin frowned, but she didn't show it. She was pretty sure the detective would not let her tag-along, seeing as she can be seen as an annoyance and doesn't have anything to do with the case. Apparently that was not the case. She hated how easy it had been. Nevertheless, she felt triumphant.
"Hooray! Thank you, Mr. Detective!" She hugged him and giggled like a little girl.
She likes acting, and she's good at it.
Dus felt alicetama's lingering gaze on him. "Gosh, I sure am popular with the ladies" he thought. "Well, lets go in, shall we. Don't worry, I'll pay for admission, mademoiselles."
"But you" he pointed at Callid and ConanEdogawa142 "will have to pay for it yourselves!"
"Well, that's no problem," Callid answered, while thinking to himself: It seems the meitantei is really as easy with woman as the stories say...
Shin felt her eye twitch at the sight. 'What an idiot.' She said to herself.
Turning her attention to the girl near her, Shin offered her hand and said, "Alice, right? Pleased to meet you." She smiled at her, the sweetest one she can muster.
'Oh dear gosh, why is this guy a detective?' Alice thought to herself. 'Well, he at least can be useful when it comes to money."
"Y-yes. Please to meet you too." Alice blushed at the sight of her smile. And shook her hand.
Shin took Alice's hand, stared at her eyes, and waited for a full minute before letting go.
She leaned closer. "Mind if I walk beside you?" then added, in a whisper "That Dus guy creeps me out."
Alice blushed a deep red. "Of course you can." She responded with a smile.
'Interesting reaction' Shin thought, noticing how Alice had turned red.
She smiled back. "Thanks a bunch!" she said, followed by a quick, "Oh, how silly of me, I forgot to introduce myself! The name's Shin."
"Shin? That's a cool name." She said.
'Shin... it fits her beauty so well.' She thought.
'Shall I test it further to see if my theory is correct?' A plan formed in Shin's mind.
"Oh, what's that?!" Shin eagerly pointed at their left, looking amazed. As soon as Alice turned her head to see, she planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Huh? What?" She turned to see. She then felt Shin's kiss on the cheek. "Huyu~" She blushed deep red and then fainted.
'My, my. What an adorable little kitty.' Shin thought, highly amused. 'I was right.'
"A-a-alice?! What's the matter?! Oh, Mr. Dus! A little help please? She fainted!" she said.
Dus had watched the proceedings with a keen interest. He wasn't sure what was going on but he couldn't just let alice lie there, could he? "Step aside, this calls for CPR!"
While lying on the ground, Alice was dreaming. Dreaming of her mother, and dreaming about what has happened to her since 2 days ago. Alice then opened her eyes, and saw the detective lying on her, trying to kiss her. "G- GET OFF YOU PERVERT!" She then punched him in the face.
"Well, as you can see, the reanimation was an astounding success. And her reflexes seem to work perfectly as well." Dus said, spitting out several of his teeth. "I'm afraid I'll have to bill you for my dentist though."
"Whatever. Paying a bill doesn't matter to me anyways." She said. "Hey, where's that kid, though?"
Just then, Conanedogawa142 came back with his admission ticket.
"Hey, why haven't you guys bought your tickets yet?" he said to the group.
"Oh... yeah... well come on old man, you said that you would pay for Shin and I's tickets!" Alice said.
Shin tried to stifle a laugh. Watching them was highly entertaining.
"Don't scare me like that, Alice." She pretended to be worried. 'I better make use of her' She hid her malicious smile from the others.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that ever since I was nervous... whenever I got very nervous or very surprised, I faint." Shsmiled at Shin.
"Aww... that's cute. Come here and let me give you a hug." Shin hugged Alice tight.
"H-huyu?" Alice blushed.
Shin patted her back before releasing her hug. She smiled, and said "Now then... where is Mr. Dus? I believe he said he'd buy our tickets?"
"Ah... I don't know... hey, kid, would you know where he is?" Alice asked Conan.
"He went off to buy your tickets,"conanedogawa142 answered.
"Sureeeeee." Alice responded sarcastically.
Just then, Dus came back.
"I'm sorry, but there was quite a queue." Dus handed out tickets and buckets of popcorn "Here are your tickets and your complimentary snack. Now, shall we go in?"
'Finally.' Shin suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
"Yes, please!" She grabbed alice's hand and said enthusiastically, "Let's go!"
"Oh popcorn? You didn't need to go to all that trouble, Detective!" Alice said giving him a fake smile. 'All right! Free stuff! This guy may be an idiot, but he's gonna be pretty useful when it comes to this stuff.'
Alice then felt her hand being held by Shin. She then blushed and stuttered "Y-yes we should be going."
Shin flashed her a smile, their hands still locked to each other.
Alice blushed yet again.
....................................
The princess looked at the blonde woman, she couldn't help, but wonder who these men in black were. Though she had an idea of why she was kidnapped. After all being a run away princess of Japan and married to the Emperor of the FI Kingdom. (She couldn't escape her royal roots, it seemed) Her husband, Conia also being a stalker and having information he probably should not have. At least one of those reasons could have something to do with this captivity. The woman took the gag off her and her voice, she couldn't control it. She softly just asked "Why?" As she smiled.
The woman smiled back to the girl. "I'm not releasing you, if that's what you mean." The blonde woman said in almost a hiss.
"But why me?" She blinked.
The blonde woman laughed. "You'll see. They won't hurt you, I promise you that."
She looked down. "May I?"
She cut the ropes off her hands and legs, Yuriko noticed the tazor in her hands. "Come right back."
Yuriko nodded. "Hai." She headed off to the bathroom and took off the wedding ring. She dropped it out the window onto the park ground. "<3 my Iracon" engraved on the ring. She prayed someone would find it, she finished in the bathroom and walked back as the woman with the name of a wine retire her up, leaving the gag off until her friends came back.
....................................
Shin was looking around, holding Alice's hand, when her cell phone went ringing.
"Ummm... excuse me for a minute." She walked a considerable distance away from the group before answering.
"What?"
"We've secured her, milady."
"Good. Any problems?"
"None."
"Better. Don't call me again, I'll call you." She clicked it off.
She turned and saw a glint of an object just a few meters away from her. Curious, she picked it up.
'A ring?' She examined it and saw the engraving. An evil smile spread on her beautiful face. 'Well, well. I'll be keeping this.' She put it in her purse and slowly made her way back.
"Watcha got there, Shin?" Alice asked. She then noticed the purse's design. "Ohhh how cute! Where'd you get it? Your purse I mean."
"Hm? Oh this?" Shin showed her purse. "I got it at London. Pretty, isn't it?"
"London? Wow... it's my dream to set up my own Lolita fashion company there..." Alicetama said. "Hey, what's it like there?"
"My, that's really nice." Shin said, and then, all of a sudden, stared at Alice's face and frowned. "Wait a minute..." She closed her eyes, trying to remember. "Ah! I knew it! I KNEW IT! You're one of those JDC folks! No wonder you're face looks so familiar!"
'That certainly changes things.' Shin thought.
"Ah... yes... but could you please keep quiet about it? It's kinda embarrassing." She said.
This is not updated regularly.
Chapter 1
"Hello?" said conanedogawa142 as he picked up his cellphone.
"Who is this?!" The voice on the phone demanded.
"This is.......um.....Mouri Detective Agency....." conanedogawa142 replied nervously.
There was silence on the phone. Finally, that person hung up.

A couple of minutes later, she arrived at the detective agency. "Alright, can you solve this case for me?" She stepped through the door, and found a raccoon gnawing at the detective's face. She couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, little girl, but he's busy looking for my sister. Unless your case involves going to the Zoo, it will have to wait." replied the ninja, as the detective was busy with the raccoon.
"Little girl? LITTLE GIRL?! I have you know I'm 14 years old!" The girl hated it when she was called 'little'. "Wait, you're trying to find your sister? Maybe your case and mine are intertwined..."
As Dus was attacking his face, conanedogawa142 took out his stun gun watch and shot the racoon in the neck. Dus fell to the floor, asleep.
"A...amazing... CAN I HAVE ONE?!" Alicetama's eyes went all kira-kira.
"Sorry......I dont think the professor that made this watch would want to make ANOTHER one," conanedogawa142 told Alicetama apologectly.
..............................................
Meanwhile at the zoo.
"Yaaaay, I found a oversize heater in the form of a bird! Strangely *hick* it's also talking. But I gor it uuuunder control. Now I'm gonna take you hoooome. Polly wants a cracker?"
Kleene Onigiri dragged the sister of Commi-ninja forcefully away, while leaving the purse of the sister behind... and some empty vodka bottles too...
..............................................
Chapter 2
breva was patrolling at the zoo.
"Looks like someone lost their purse," said breva "I should find the owner."
On the phone: I need your help...
---------------------------------------
Does anyone have a way to get to the zoo?" conanedogawa142 asked as he looked sheepishly at Dus lying on the ground. "And we'll need to take him because this is his detective office."
"I can drive us there!" Dus said all of a sudden. He had returned to his human form while no-one was looking, apparently.
Suddenly, a voice made them turn around. A young man of twenty years stood in the door, apparently a little confused by the events he witnessed. "Sorry for me intruding, the door was open... Anyway, is this the Mouri Detective Agency?" Callid asked.
"Why, yes it is! Do you have a case for me that doesn't involve going to the zoo?" said Dus.
"And what's your name, Mr.? Oh, right, I forgot...." conanedogawa142 said turning to Alicetama and Commi-Ninja. "What are your names?"
"You don't need to know my name. In fact, it's better for you if you don't." Commi-Ninja said mysteriously.
"My name is Veresov, with two V. And I indeed have a case for you; my chess playing partner disappeared about four days ago, and hasn't been seen anywhere since then. So I'm here 'cause I hope you could find him. Perhaps this photo of the both of us will help you; I'm the one on the right."
He handed the picture over.
"Alright, Mr Veresovv, let me take a look." Dus looked at the picture trying to look as if he were thinking. "You both had one pawn each left and it seems that you have just made a pretty stupid move, since your partner is face-palming hard. Could this help us in our search?"Photo wrote:
Conanedogawa142 tried to hide his laughing at Dus's strange deduction.
"We still need to solve their cases!" conanedogawa142 pointed at the other people in the room.
Dus hit ConanEdogawa142 on the head for snickering at his deduction. Then he said to Commi-Ninja "Well, a secret makes a woman woman, right mademoiselle?" and gave his signature laugh.
Conanedogawa142 rubbed the bump on his head with his hand. "Ouch....I think I'll go sit down while you go solve all three of these people's problems........."
Callid looked at Dus: "No, you're sadly wrong. He face-palmed because he noticed he had just made a pretty stupid move. And the photo is most likely completely unrelated, as it was taken about half a year ago." He adds, completely serious, "Still, I'm amazed by your deduction skills. It was clearly the right choice to have you find him. Who else could have figured out the part about the pawns?"
Dus laughed his signature laugh again. "Well, they don't call me Araiguma no Dus for nothing. So, where was the last place you have seen your friend?"
Callid put down his hat and, nervously fingering it, replied: "Well, you see, that should have been my house, three districts from here. We played a game of chess in the evening, and he left around 23 o'clock and I supposed he walked home - his house is just a few streets away- but it seems he never arrived; when I phoned his wife the other day, she said she hadn't seen him since he left for my house."
"Who won said game of chess?"
"It ended in a remis, a draw. Which was quite a success for him, compared to the usual results." Callid smiled a sad smile.
"I see. Did you notice anything odd about him that night? Something he said, maybe?"
"No, he was perfectly normal. Just like every evening."
Dus scratched his chin, obviously clueless. "How was his marriage? Did he have any enemies? Did he like prune juice?"
Clueless as usual, conanedogawa142 thought as he was watching them.
"Do you think I should help him?" conanedogawa142 whispered to Commi-Ninja and Alicetama.
"His marriage was going well, at least as far as I know. Well, I've seen his wife pretty seldom, so I can't say. I think there was one guy at work who disliked him, but I can't recall him having any "real" enemies. And no, he strongly disliked prune juice, but why do you ask?" Callid asked Dus.
"He didn't like prune juice? I think we're on to something here! What are his thoughts on the topic of subsidies for Polish plumbers?"
Why the heck is Dus asking random questions now? conanedogawa142 wondered.
And what if that phone call was from that organization? Then why did they call? This is so confusing..
Callid now seemed completely confused. "Polish plumbers? I don't know, we never talked about Polish plumbers. Is this of any importance?"
"The answer to this question may very well lead us directly to your friend, if my hunch is correct."
Commi-Ninja whispered back to conanedogawa142, "He seems a little bit off his rocker if you ask me."
"He's denseeeee." Alice whispered-not-so-quietly.
Dus's racoon senses tingled. "Don't be mistaken by my seemingly random questions, demoiselles. You have to be able to look beneath the surface of a mystery in my profession. Well, I think we should just all go to the zoo now, because this is where all the threads and clues run together."
He turns to callid.
"What was your friend's name, by the way?"
......................................
She unknowingly re-dialed the detective agency's number again. She was sure her kidnappers were out, but was unsure if they had bugged the house, she made her way through the room, and sat on the couch. Still trying to hold onto the phone for dear life, which she didn't even know she had hit the button. If anyone had answered all they would have heard was the heavy breathing, and all the many objects being moved around. She shook her head and whispered what sounded like "No good..." against the gag.
She couldn't help wonder who that long, silver-haired man was and why he was so intent on keeping her alive...And how he would know her every move inside that house. The one thing she did know was that little pink phone of hers wasn't taken at all. And hopefully she could contact someone with it before her life was taken by that man who had already inevitably killed who knows how many people.
.........................................
"Ah, he's called Iracon," Callid replied, "though we often call him by his nickname, with the two parts of his name reversed and the R left out - Conia.".
"Iracoon you say? Hmmm.... It seems that my hunch was correct. Would you mind accompanying me and these fine young ladies to the zoo?"
"Does he even listen to what people say?" Commi-Ninja asked, not so quietly.
"Hardly ever! People tend to lie to you; I only listen to cold facts and my hunch!" Dus claimed confidently "And I have solved every mystery presented to me!"
With my help... conanedogawa142 thought.
The phone rang. "i'll answer it!" Conanedogawa142 called. "Hello?" he said as he picked up the phone. All conanedogawa142 heard was breathing. "That was weird...." he said aloud as the phone hung up.
........................................
She jumped when she heard someone on the other line. She closed her eyes and tried to sound out "Help please." as best as she could. She shivered and thought about her family. Being tied up she couldn't use any of the skills she had learned. She wondered how she was even kidnapped in the first place. The battery in the phone started dying.
.........................................
"I guess I'll call back" conanedogawa142's voice sounded excited.
He pressed the redial button.
.....................................
The phone slid out of her hands, and she tried to reach for it. But then the thoughts of if that man was really surveil-lancing her, he would kill her. The ringtone became louder and louder, she looked around panicked and hit the button, though unable to say nothing. "Please..." She finally felt tears in her eyes for the first time as she struggled to free her hands from behind her back so she could at least use them for that moment.
.......................................
"There must be blood somewhere around here!" KainTheVampire started to look for blood with an evil smile on her face.
.........................................
Callid looked confused once more. "No, not Iracoon, Iracon. Just like beacon. It has nothing to do with raccoons or things like that."
"Well, I like bacon!"
Callid facepalmed. He muttered, "well, doesn't matter anyway, the con of beacon and bacon is the same anyway...".
The phone hung up again. "Arrgh!" conanedogawa142 was disappointed.
He turned to Dus. "Well, let's go to the zoo now!"
......................................
At the zoo-
She was feeding the wolves with bits of marshmallow from her parfait.
"Hey, lady! What are you doing? Didn't you see the sign?" One of the security personnel grabbed her hand and pointed to a nearby whitewashed signpost with the words Don't feed the animals written in huge red letters.
Shin jerked her hand away. "Oh puh-lease. Rules are meant to be-- blah blah blah." She waved her hand dismissively. "Run along now."
The man, looking terribly bewildered, turned away hastily. He didn't see the mischievous smirk that appeared in the girl's face.
........................................
Alicetama sighed. "I'll go along as well, then. I just have the strangest feeling that this case, and mine, are related..."
........................................
The phone rang again before they left for the zoo. She had hit the redial, while three people were downstairs talking quite loud, most likely for her to hear as they were coming upstairs to check on their prisoner.
The blonde woman looked at the young blonde girl on the floor. Even though they were the same age, "So this is the one that Anokata is looking for. He said he wants her alive and we are going to keep her that way."
The man that did the kidnapping smiled, "She probably knows better then to make a sound, especially if she knows who she's dealing with." Yuriko looked at the man with wide eyes, that was the man she remembered had followed her several times, she blinked, maybe she could figure out a way to tell the detective before the phone died.
The third man, the newest person, looked up to the silver haired man, "Aniki, what are we going to..." He pushed penguin away. "Why the heck are we keeping her in a zoo anyways."
The other man gave him a death glare and laughed. "Shut up, if someone hears you we'll be caught, and remembered the other place was infiltrated..." He hissed. "Now, we better go."
Yuriko hid the phone and looked up at her kidnappers. The woman almost seemed to want to protect her, but she had no clue why. She shivered a bit and looked down. "I'll stay here with her." The woman smiled at the two men as they left. The last time she said the same thing, but soon disappeared after the two men had left.
..........................................
"Well, I doubt you'll find my sister at the zoo, but I suppose it is possible." said Commi-Ninja.
.............................................
Shin sat on a bench in front of the tiger cages and yawned. "Nothing left to do here." She glared at the tigers, and the animals, in turn, seemingly intimidated, whimpered at the sight.
Not long after, she spotted a group walking inside the zoo's premises. She stood up and went her way towards them.
breva took a look at her watch. "Why is Mr. Mouri taking so long?" breva thought.
"I better take a look of what is inside this purse."
She opened the purse slowly, "blood!" Yelled breva with a surprised face.
Chapter 3
Conanedogawa142 spotted Shin first.
"Hello. Who are you?" he said in his friendliest voice, not trying to sound rude.
Shin looked at him from head to toe. "Hello, detective", she said with a smirk.
Alice appeared in back of conan. "Ahh, flirting aren't we? Ahh, love." She then looked at Shin and blushed. "Uh... h-hello... my name is Alice." She said, looking down fiddling with the frills on her dress.
"Oh?"
Shin raised one eyebrow and put her right hand on her hips. "Lady, you're turning red." She then changed her expression into a warm one, beaming at her with her best smile.
'Huyu~ She smiled at me.' Alice thought to herself. She then turned back to 'normal' and asked Conan, "why are you bothering this beautiful woman- we have cases to solve, you know!"
"A case?"
'Chance! I knew this day would be interesting!' Shin thought. "Can I come with you? I won't be a bother!" She asked, seemingly brimming with eagerness and curiosity.
"Well, it's not exactly a case- it's more like a lot of cases that seem to be related to each other... and I guess you could come. But you'll need to ask that idiot-looking detective over there." Alice said, pointing to Dus. 'Oh please say yes, please say yes...' She thought over and over to herself.
"Oi, stop pestering the lady!" Dus said, hitting ConanEdogawa142 on the hand. He turned to Shin: "I do apologize for the brat. The name is Dus, by the way, the world-famous detective. And of course I would appreciate such charming company."
"He wasn't pestering her you know." 'Wait a second- this bragging of his... could this old man be... hitting on her?' She thought to herself. She then proceeded to glare at Dus.
Shin frowned, but she didn't show it. She was pretty sure the detective would not let her tag-along, seeing as she can be seen as an annoyance and doesn't have anything to do with the case. Apparently that was not the case. She hated how easy it had been. Nevertheless, she felt triumphant.
"Hooray! Thank you, Mr. Detective!" She hugged him and giggled like a little girl.
She likes acting, and she's good at it.
Dus felt alicetama's lingering gaze on him. "Gosh, I sure am popular with the ladies" he thought. "Well, lets go in, shall we. Don't worry, I'll pay for admission, mademoiselles."
"But you" he pointed at Callid and ConanEdogawa142 "will have to pay for it yourselves!"
"Well, that's no problem," Callid answered, while thinking to himself: It seems the meitantei is really as easy with woman as the stories say...
Shin felt her eye twitch at the sight. 'What an idiot.' She said to herself.
Turning her attention to the girl near her, Shin offered her hand and said, "Alice, right? Pleased to meet you." She smiled at her, the sweetest one she can muster.
'Oh dear gosh, why is this guy a detective?' Alice thought to herself. 'Well, he at least can be useful when it comes to money."
"Y-yes. Please to meet you too." Alice blushed at the sight of her smile. And shook her hand.
Shin took Alice's hand, stared at her eyes, and waited for a full minute before letting go.
She leaned closer. "Mind if I walk beside you?" then added, in a whisper "That Dus guy creeps me out."
Alice blushed a deep red. "Of course you can." She responded with a smile.
'Interesting reaction' Shin thought, noticing how Alice had turned red.
She smiled back. "Thanks a bunch!" she said, followed by a quick, "Oh, how silly of me, I forgot to introduce myself! The name's Shin."
"Shin? That's a cool name." She said.
'Shin... it fits her beauty so well.' She thought.
'Shall I test it further to see if my theory is correct?' A plan formed in Shin's mind.
"Oh, what's that?!" Shin eagerly pointed at their left, looking amazed. As soon as Alice turned her head to see, she planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Huh? What?" She turned to see. She then felt Shin's kiss on the cheek. "Huyu~" She blushed deep red and then fainted.
'My, my. What an adorable little kitty.' Shin thought, highly amused. 'I was right.'
"A-a-alice?! What's the matter?! Oh, Mr. Dus! A little help please? She fainted!" she said.
Dus had watched the proceedings with a keen interest. He wasn't sure what was going on but he couldn't just let alice lie there, could he? "Step aside, this calls for CPR!"
While lying on the ground, Alice was dreaming. Dreaming of her mother, and dreaming about what has happened to her since 2 days ago. Alice then opened her eyes, and saw the detective lying on her, trying to kiss her. "G- GET OFF YOU PERVERT!" She then punched him in the face.
"Well, as you can see, the reanimation was an astounding success. And her reflexes seem to work perfectly as well." Dus said, spitting out several of his teeth. "I'm afraid I'll have to bill you for my dentist though."
"Whatever. Paying a bill doesn't matter to me anyways." She said. "Hey, where's that kid, though?"
Just then, Conanedogawa142 came back with his admission ticket.
"Hey, why haven't you guys bought your tickets yet?" he said to the group.
"Oh... yeah... well come on old man, you said that you would pay for Shin and I's tickets!" Alice said.
Shin tried to stifle a laugh. Watching them was highly entertaining.
"Don't scare me like that, Alice." She pretended to be worried. 'I better make use of her' She hid her malicious smile from the others.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that ever since I was nervous... whenever I got very nervous or very surprised, I faint." Shsmiled at Shin.
"Aww... that's cute. Come here and let me give you a hug." Shin hugged Alice tight.
"H-huyu?" Alice blushed.
Shin patted her back before releasing her hug. She smiled, and said "Now then... where is Mr. Dus? I believe he said he'd buy our tickets?"
"Ah... I don't know... hey, kid, would you know where he is?" Alice asked Conan.
"He went off to buy your tickets,"conanedogawa142 answered.
"Sureeeeee." Alice responded sarcastically.
Just then, Dus came back.
"I'm sorry, but there was quite a queue." Dus handed out tickets and buckets of popcorn "Here are your tickets and your complimentary snack. Now, shall we go in?"
'Finally.' Shin suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
"Yes, please!" She grabbed alice's hand and said enthusiastically, "Let's go!"
"Oh popcorn? You didn't need to go to all that trouble, Detective!" Alice said giving him a fake smile. 'All right! Free stuff! This guy may be an idiot, but he's gonna be pretty useful when it comes to this stuff.'
Alice then felt her hand being held by Shin. She then blushed and stuttered "Y-yes we should be going."
Shin flashed her a smile, their hands still locked to each other.
Alice blushed yet again.
....................................
The princess looked at the blonde woman, she couldn't help, but wonder who these men in black were. Though she had an idea of why she was kidnapped. After all being a run away princess of Japan and married to the Emperor of the FI Kingdom. (She couldn't escape her royal roots, it seemed) Her husband, Conia also being a stalker and having information he probably should not have. At least one of those reasons could have something to do with this captivity. The woman took the gag off her and her voice, she couldn't control it. She softly just asked "Why?" As she smiled.
The woman smiled back to the girl. "I'm not releasing you, if that's what you mean." The blonde woman said in almost a hiss.
"But why me?" She blinked.
The blonde woman laughed. "You'll see. They won't hurt you, I promise you that."
She looked down. "May I?"
She cut the ropes off her hands and legs, Yuriko noticed the tazor in her hands. "Come right back."
Yuriko nodded. "Hai." She headed off to the bathroom and took off the wedding ring. She dropped it out the window onto the park ground. "<3 my Iracon" engraved on the ring. She prayed someone would find it, she finished in the bathroom and walked back as the woman with the name of a wine retire her up, leaving the gag off until her friends came back.
....................................
Shin was looking around, holding Alice's hand, when her cell phone went ringing.
"Ummm... excuse me for a minute." She walked a considerable distance away from the group before answering.
"What?"
"We've secured her, milady."
"Good. Any problems?"
"None."
"Better. Don't call me again, I'll call you." She clicked it off.
She turned and saw a glint of an object just a few meters away from her. Curious, she picked it up.
'A ring?' She examined it and saw the engraving. An evil smile spread on her beautiful face. 'Well, well. I'll be keeping this.' She put it in her purse and slowly made her way back.
"Watcha got there, Shin?" Alice asked. She then noticed the purse's design. "Ohhh how cute! Where'd you get it? Your purse I mean."
"Hm? Oh this?" Shin showed her purse. "I got it at London. Pretty, isn't it?"
"London? Wow... it's my dream to set up my own Lolita fashion company there..." Alicetama said. "Hey, what's it like there?"
"My, that's really nice." Shin said, and then, all of a sudden, stared at Alice's face and frowned. "Wait a minute..." She closed her eyes, trying to remember. "Ah! I knew it! I KNEW IT! You're one of those JDC folks! No wonder you're face looks so familiar!"
'That certainly changes things.' Shin thought.
"Ah... yes... but could you please keep quiet about it? It's kinda embarrassing." She said.
This is not updated regularly.

Kay and her friends...
