Hello Hello!!
I haven't heard from me for a long time ^^ "... but well, better late than never, right? That's why today part 12 and I hope that the next ones can be written a little faster by hand ... LET'S GO!!

Conan, Minami and Ai were walking through the park. After the call from Heiji, Conan had received one of his brainwaves and the three had now set out to catch the perpetrator.
`Tell me, KyokoA, Ai began and pulled Kyoko back a little.
'Yes? A.
`You have been so quiet the whole time! What's wrong with you?! A Kyoko bowed his head again. 'Is it because of Heiji? A She screwed up her eyes a little and Ai looked up at the sky at her. `So I was right! A.
'What else does he want from me? A, said Kyoko suddenly. 'Should he finally give up? A.
`I don't think Heiji will do exactly that! A.
`And why not ?! A.
`Well think about it = do it! A Kyoko looked at Ai. 'Is it clear, isn't it? A She shook her head.'Now you're just pretending! Heiji seems to like you very much, if not even to say love
`You are crazy! A, shouted Kyoko, blushing. 'That's nonsense! We're just friends. And I don't have a crush on him! Would be even nicer! A.
`I didn't say that at all! A, replied Ai with a smile.
`But ... II ... that ... A Kyoko didn't know what to say. So she stepped up a gear again and caught up with Conan, who eyed her from the side.
'What's the matter with you? Why are you so red A? He asked her. She shook her head.
'You imagine that! I am not red! A.
`And what did you whisper to each other for so long? A instantly all memories of Heiji came back to her. Kyoko swallowed.
'None of your business! A, she said softly, and fixed her gaze stubbornly forward. `Boys don't get that! Especially when it comes to ... guys. A, said Kyoko, realizing that this sentence had a rather illogical meaning.`In any case, it's none of your business! A, she repeated when she saw Conan's puzzled look. `We wanted to catch the perpetrator, remember? After all, the lives of countless children may depend on it, if you can still vaguely remember it ?! I don't want to suffer any more. Neither the victims nor the ... relatives ... A Kyoko hesitated a little at the last word. And again she had to think of Heiji, that he had been looking for her all the time ...

She shook her head. It couldn't go on like this! She can't hang on this guy forever! That did not work!
Kazuha strolled through the shopping streets of Osaka. And she was sure that this was the hundredth time she had passed this boutique.
She just couldn't think clearly anymore. There was total chaos in her head. Should she just forgive Heiji and pretend nothing had happened? Or should she dump him?Over and over again she asked herself that. And whenever she thought she had found an answer, doubts about her decision reappeared and she thought again.
She understood that he was worried about Minami. And she also understood that he couldn't be in a really good mood, even if he always pretended to be. It was also clear that he would turn her on now and then because the whole situation simply overwhelmed him.
But in spite of everything, was it justified that he blamed her for everything ??!
That was more than nasty! And he didn't even try to apologize !!
Kazuha looked in the shop window and saw the reflection of a couple in love who laughed and walked past her. She turned around and found herself looking a bit jealously at the two of them.
Suddenly she remembered something that she had been trying to suppress for a long time:Why was Heiji so interested in these minami? What did she have that she didn't have? She was just> a normal average student!
She bowed her head.
No it wasn't. Minami and Heiji had something in common that Kazuha would never be able to do; She was a high school detective too!

And then she thought of a whole lot of other pluses! Minami didn't scream at every dead body. Minami was a martial artist. Minami had a prettier face. Minami is much smarter. In spite of everything, Minami behaves much more girlishly than she does. Minami had developed a good relationship with Heiji much faster. Minami was just a thousand times better than she! No matter in what respect!
So what did she, Kazuha, have to offer? Fine, she might not look bad. She wasn't stupid either and she had known Heiji almost since she was a cradle! But otherwise? Otherwise she was clearly in Minami's shadow, from which she would never escape again.Never again. At some point she would have to hand it over, leave it to her ... But when? Now? She and Heiji were at odds. Was that really the best opportunity?
Sighing, she went on.
He would never forgive her anyway!
What was the point of all this? Nothing!
`Hey, Kazu! A Kazuha turned around.
`Heiji ... A quickly she turned away again. The complete idiot should now just not believe that because of him she will let everything stand and lie! That was how far it got! `What is it? A? She asked as dismissively as possible.
Heiji took a step towards her and then stopped in front of her with his hands in his pockets.
`I ... I wanted to ... I wanted to apologize, Kazu-chan. A stunned she looked at him. `What I said to you was really not fair! A.
'Oh, and where does the sudden insight come from? A, she just replied instead, crossing her arms over her chest.`Did Saint Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple or Ellery Queen tell you that ?! I actually thought that you wanted to look for Minami ?! A.
`Kazu, now listen to me-A
`For you Kazuha! A, she cut him off. `And: No, I'm not listening to you! I don't feel like playing your reproach games anymore !! Take care, your next case is definitely waiting for you! A Kazuha turned on his heel and walked away, leaving behind a completely confused Heiji.
Less than five minutes later, she wanted to put a rope around her neck.
Why had she offended him so now ?! He wanted to apologize to her! And that of my own free will, without being asked. Heiji had meant business and instead of being happy about it, she had turned down the peace offer! Just because of their stupid false pride!

`Well, I would be really interested in how you know that the next kidnapping will take place here ?!A, Kyoko whispered to Conan and peeked out from behind the bushes where they were hiding.
She and Ai had followed him and ended up near an old mansion in Shinbashi.
`I just remembered how it all works in the book! A, he whispered back.
`Great explanation. A, she grumbled.
`How can you read such junk ?! A? Asked Ai blankly.
`This is not junk !! A, it came back from the other two at the same time.
`As you think. A Conan looked now too.
`` The plot is actually very simple: a clown appears and eats children whom he lures with some balloons, sweets or other things.
The police are in the dark and warn that parents should not leave their children alone.
A few of these children also encounter the monster, but are able to escape from it. They team up and defeat it with lead.Quite a while later, the group meets again as adults because the clown has reappeared. However, he is not the real culprit, but an insect monster that you then destroy for good
`Thank you for this nice fairy tale hour! A, smiled Ai.
`Always happy! A.
Kyoko thought about it.
`But if our perpetrator just kidnapped the kids ... what kind of motive could he have? I checked everything and there is no connection between the victims!
And I can even rule out the assumption that we're dealing with a madman who doesn't know what to do with his time! That’s a bit too correct then

Apart from that, not only are children disappearing here, but also in Osaka. A, added Conan.
`Do you think there are several? A.
`No, most likely not. The time interval between the individual incidents is exactly sufficient for a single person to be able to carry out all of thisCRACK!

The three stopped talking.
Wasn't there something !?

CRACK!

Yet again!
A child came along the way.
Kyoko let out a relieved breath. But wait a minute! She looked at Conan. His face was serious. So now it started!
The child, a little boy, whistled to himself.
`Hey little one! A.
He stopped in front of a manhole cover and peered inside. `Yes, I mean exactly you! Come closer, I can't see you! A.
Kyoko was about to jump up, but Conan held her wrist with a firm grip.
`But I'm not supposed to talk to strangers! A, said the little one suspiciously. `My mom forbade me to do that! A.
'Oh! But I am not a stranger! I am your friend! I also have a really great yellow balloon for you! A.
'Honestly? A.
'Of course! Take a look yourself! A.
The boy leaned down a little further. In fact, there was a yellow balloon under the manhole cover! `Or are you afraid of the dark ?!A, it came from down there again, this time threatening.
The child shook his head.
'Of course not! A.
`Then come down! A.
'I am not allowed! A.
`The balloon is really sad! He wants to play with you! A.
`Hmm ... fine! A.
`Brav! It's beautiful like that! A The manhole cover has been raised slightly.
The boy instinctively felt that something completely different awaited him and was about to go back when a hand grabbed his little leg and pulled it.
That was the signal!
Conan jumped up and ran.
Kyoko and Ai stayed behind.
Instantly the hand let go of the leg.
`Stop !! You stay clear here now ?! A Conan jumped into the gully and was gone.
Now it was the turn of the two girls!
Kyoko put on Conan's glasses and started walking. Always in the direction where Conan was moving. Because of course they had thought that he had a transmitter with him so that they wouldn't lose it!She took out her cell phone and dialed the number for police headquarters.
`Inspector Megure? Here is minami! Please come to Kitanomaru Park asap! Yes exactly, Yasukuni Shrine !! (* a good kilometer from the Tôkyô Dome! *) No further questions, just
