Chapter 6: The bait of Black Organization
It has been 4 months after Moonlight Sonata's murder.
Conan had a lot of stress since he couldn't break down the method of killing that I used to kill 3 people.
In the police side, they addressed this case as unsolvable case. Addition to that, they sent this case to famous novelist, Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo.
Conan had a big pride as a detective so he didn't ask his father for help.
"If I am not wrong, today should be the day Conan get kidnapped by his parents." I drunk a wine named Gin mixing with a little bit of Vodka.
After I returned, I saw many strange people moving around the city.
Undoubtedly, they were peripheral agent of Black organization. They can be understood as unofficial agent.
I just let them go free and investigate as much as they wanted since peripheral agents were just some random thugs, homeless people or CIA, FBI, Japan police…
And Vermouth still played game hide and seek with Akai Shuichi at America.
"It will be long before Vermouth comes to Japan." I took a sip of wine.
However, I received some new information that was out of what I read in comic.
Akemi Miyano, Haibara Ai's sister, were killed.
In the comic, she was killed by Gin but Gin was caught by me as soon as the first arc.
"This is so troublesome."
After losing core member named Gin, Rum took control of everything in Japan.
As a result of my action, instead of getting killed by Gin, Rum was the one who killed Akemi Miyano.
And the fate of Haibara Ai became harder to predict.
"A butterfly flaps its wings in one place, and causes a hurricane halfway around the world" I said a popular quote in previous world.
To be honest, I didn't know this quote was correct or not since that quote was just a theory about time travel.
"If something that you don't know, let find out." I emptied the cup of wine in one sip.
Thank to the appearance of peripheral agents that I pinned down all hiding base of Black organization.
"Let go for a hunt." I cleaned my dagger. "And kill."
I turned the light off and left Shinichi's house.
Mouri Kogoro's house.
"Conan. What's wrong" Ran asked while wondering why Conan didn't enjoy the meal like usual.
"Ah. It's just a new on TV"
"Breaking new. A gas station has a serial murder case." The camera slowly moved around the gas station.
Thank to censor effect that it was allowed to broadcast.
Even though some corpse were blocked by censor effect, those could hide from eye but couldn't hide from brain.
"This method of killing" Conan remembered the first victim of Moonlight Sonata case.
The victim was dissected brutally and now it happened again at Tokyo.
"I remind me a terrible case on island." Ran nodded in agreement.
Conan immediately stopped eating and left the table.
"Where are you going, Conan" Ran asked.
"I'm going to tell my father something."
"Just let him go." Mouri said and continued eating while watching TV. "Just some copy cat"
On the street.
My hand was stained with blood but no one seemed to pay attention to it. Or they paid attention but they pretended that they didn't see anything.
I watched TV and observed the replay of Camera. There were corpse scattered everywhere.
The problem was this matter should be suppressed by government. Why they allowed to broadcast murder scene.
And also, those people were killed by me 5 minutes ago and why they were on TV so fast.
"I see" I mumbled.
Normal citizen couldn't understand but I did.
"This is a threatening from Black Organization."
Black Organization area of influence were wider than I thought.
"Never mind. I must finish what I initiate." I moved to their next base.
After taking down 15 bases in one night, MC in morning news started addressing me as Death Killer.
Police were explaining their tactics on capturing me, the new rising serial murderer.
I turned off the TV.
"Bland. No Haibara Ai. What's a waste?" I said.
According to my understanding, my luck seemed to be bad. However, what about Haibara Ai's luck.
"If it exists a fate then her luck will save her somehow." I thought but denied that idea. The world became messed up by my existence.
I moved to the basement to ask Gin about the location of Sherry, Ai's code name.
At Dr. Agasa house, Conan tried his best to explain to his father through phone but his father was so busy by deadline.
In the end, he only replied a story he knew.
"Shinichi. Do you know the story talking about assassination organization originating in the Middle East?" Yusaku Kudo asked.
"I know" His frustration expressed clearly on his face. "But still, that is still a story. There is no way they exist until today."
"Shinichi. I know you strongly believe in science but sometimes, you have to think something out of science. Only by doing that, you can explore the unknown aspect of mystery." An advice that Yusaku wanted to transmit to his son was thinking out of a box. Don't be restricted by your own belief.
Yusaku words weren't wrong. There were many mystery that science couldn't explain. For example, witch that appeared in Kaito Kid anime was one of that mystery.
"But"
"That's all I can say. Try to read that story in detail on internet. You will find something" The phone was hanged up.
Conan heard the answer and didn't accept it immediately. He rejected unscientific idea.
Despite so, he still opened a laptop and searched the mentioned story that his father told.
For next 2 weeks, my consecutive killing gave to Tokyo's citizen tons of headache and police received countless sleepless night. They investigated and watched many CCTV around the murder area.
In the end, they didn't catch a glimpse of me.
The serial killing was unstoppable until one day, the killing streak stopped without knowing why.
Police took this moment and announced to their citizen that the murderer had been arrested.
Although that was a lie, they had to do that since police officers couldn't endure being scolded anymore.
I knew this piece of news and sympathized for them. For them, a police, they didn't have a single day to rest.
I knew what feeling to work like a slave.
Anyway, I stopped killing because I found what I need.
On that day.
In the underground laboratory, Haibara ran hurriedly in attempt escaping the Black Organization.
After hearing the news that her sister were killed by her own organization, she grew rejection to black organization.
Rum saw her rebel and ordered his subordinates capturing her and putting her in the prison.
She didn't know what Rum would do but she could be sure that wouldn't be a good experience for her.
However, on the way escorting her to prison, the basement received attack by someone.
At first, they just laughed it off. In the end, the organization was uprooted by one man.
Taking this moment, Haibara Ai ran away.
Haibara continued running without looking back. She could see a shadow of a man who single-handled the entire army in this basement right behind her.
She could hear the scream from behind. The scream of terror.
She ran away without thinking anything. Her path filled with blood and corpses.
She was too immersed in her thought that when she left the laboratory, she didn't know she had left it.
Under the falling of rain, her tear was hiding in the drop of rain.
She ran until she couldn't run anymore. Just like fate, she passed out before Shinichi's house.
A shadow that single-handled the entire army stood behind her.
"Whew. This was out of my expectation." Haibara didn't reduce to a child anymore. I was deeply surprise.
I picked Haibara up and entered Shinichi's house.
"Sometimes I ask whether this is the arrangement of fate." I mumbled and disappeared in the shadow.
Post scene
"The serial killer has been caught this morning." MC on morning new said with a gleaming smile.
"Thank to police's effort that our city's peace returns" she also gave compliment on police's effort.
Conan watched this and couldn't believe that was true.
"The sentence for killing 666 people is death punishment. Our murder will be executed at unknown time at unknown location."
"That's terrible. Luckily, police catch him." Ran said.
"Indeed" Mouri replied.
Conan looked at the news with bullet like eye. He strongly believed the real one didn't get caught.
Although the TV showed a murderer whose face was blocked by blanket was escorted by police to the car.
Many report wanted to interview the killer but was blocked by police's barrier.
Rum watching this new immediately gave new order to his subordinates.
"Go and catch him to this place for me"
Unfortunately for them, the one they caught was a copy cat.
The real one was sleeping in the basement of Shinichi's house.
