So, hot off the press * lol * ..... No, seriously, I was still working on the part until 2 minutes ago. The answer to the question why Ran is not wanted comes in that part, so let yourself be surprised. Unfortunately, it has become a little longer. I always set a maximum for myself, but unfortunately it has become a little longer. Well, then you have more to read! Have lots of fun with it!

I felt like I just lay down. I slowly opened my eyes. The surroundings were still completely gloomy, so it had to be night. Then the voice came back to me and I was sitting there straight up .....

Part 4 - Give me a reason

"You really got yourself into something, what Kudo ??" Oh Weiha, I knew the voice. I didn't have to turn around to know who was standing there. "Where do you come from all of a sudden?" I asked, bored. So this goblet had to pass me by, as if I hadn't done enough today. "Wait, just get out of here, will you?"I said as I got up." Oh, don't be like that now! All the Tokyo police are looking for you and you just wanna run ", Heiji quickly overtook me and stood up in full size in front of me. I couldn't look at him directly, so I looked at the ground." Shinichi, don't take it so hard that you got blown ... . ", Heiji tried to persuade me, but he had no chance. I still didn't say anything, I just wanted to disappear ... I just wanted to get away so I didn't endanger any more people. And I had to thinking of Ran, who was now in the organization. Why had I never noticed anything, why had I never noticed anything ??? Why only ?? "Hello, I'm talking to you! ", Heiji seemed slowly to despair. Couldn't he just go away? Did he have to be here right now? Then neither of us said anything for a long time .... As so often that night, I felt like I was there would stop at any moment, it seemed to stretch."Please just come with Shinichi ...", Heiji finally asked me. I could not. But how should I tell him? He might get it wrong. But if I went with him, I would only endanger more people. I did not want. I didn't want to lose a friend again. Professor Agasa was killed because of me because he knew my secret, that of Conan Edogawa. Everyone who knew was in danger. I sighed. I still couldn't look at Heiji. My friend waited a moment. Maybe he was waiting for me to look at him and tell him I would go with him. "Heiji, please ..... just let me go, it's better this way!" I finally whispered. Heiji just shook his head. "Shinichi man, what's going on? Ok, your friend the professor is dead, but that can't be changed now .... Get up and come with me! The inspector and Ai are very worried about you , and you just wanna go away!", Heiji really spoke to my conscience. Of course Ai was worried. After all, she was just as involved in the matter as I was. But why was the inspector worried?" It doesn't work ... ", I mumbled. But Heiji was not persuaded: "It has to work! "was his simple answer. I said nothing more. It didn't make any sense either way. I screwed up way too much crap ..... Heiji didn't say anything either. that we could go.

But I didn't. Then he mumbled softly. "If you don't want it any other way, please!", Heiji had already grabbed me. It was clear again. I was small, he was big, he could just kid me ... I didn't even try to defend myself ... I just had to be careful not to say a word about Ran. I didn't want to give her away ..... But ..... In my head my thoughts were just circling around. What if I gossiped? Ran was the prime suspect in a murder case, or at least she was my prime suspect, but I couldn't tell anyone that.I didn't mean to tell anyone that. I just couldn't do that. "Hey, if you're worried ..... Everyone who could be in danger is now under police protection .... So your little friends, Ran, Kogoro, Kazuha and me of course you too," Heiji tried to me calmed down. At Ran I pricked up my ears. Ran couldn't be under police protection. Ran hadn't been home at all ... Then why could Heiji be so sure that Ran was under police protection. She didn't really need it. I almost said my questions out loud, but I quickly bit my lip. These questions would only lead to further queries, and I didn't feel like that.

At home with Kogoro and Co .:

"You really haven't found Conan?", Ran asked again, worried. The inspector just shook his head. "We searched all of Tokyo ... He was nowhere to be found. The only part of the city that was still missing was the one that Heiji took over. He wants to come here then," the inspector tried to calm her down."Tell me, why are we suddenly under police protection," Kogoro added. The inspector just smiled. He had agreed with Ai that no one should find out why they were suddenly under police protection. That it had something to do with Conan was clear, as all of his friends were affected. But the inspector didn't want to go into the situation. It would be a shock for everyone concerned that Conan was not Conan but Shinichi. He couldn't even tell Ran that. Who knew what she and Conan had experienced together? His eyes were on Ran. He couldn't read the look on her face. Her face had been petrified since he came, was she in shock? You couldn't read anything from her mine. Was she sad, worried, tired, or maybe afraid? Who could say that now? Even when she asked about Conan, the expression on her face hadn't changed. But maybe he just heard the fleas coughing .....Back to Conan and Heiji:

While Heiji was walking towards the city center again (and carrying me) I thought about it. I thought when I heard Ran and Gin talk I would have found an answer. But when Heiji mentioned that she was also under police protection, ten new questions arose, if not more. And I had recently thought that I had found an answer. What an irony of fate. I must have walked a long way because it took a long time before we were in front of the Moris house. Heiji stopped and finally sat me down on the floor. Then he leaned down to me. For a moment he just looked at me, but then he said: "Listen to Shinichi, I know that you are sensible enough ....." .....

I already knew what he was going to tell me. Either I went through that door of my own free will or he would let me go. I knew Heiji well enough for that. I swallowed. What should I do now.Should I really go in, or should I get out of here? Immerse yourself like I had planned. Forward or backward. Which direction should I go? I stood there as ordered and not picked up. I just didn't know which way to go now. What would be the right thing to do. I was still undecided, but Heiji had already gone inside. The door was still open ... I looked at the door indecisively. // Go through or go away, make up your mind at last //, I stood there desperately. Finally, I made my decision. Heiji mentioned Ran. Maybe Ran was here, if she really was a member of the organization, then Heiji and everyone else who were here would be in danger. Only I knew about it. So I had to go inside. I walked slowly towards the door. Maybe I made the wrong decision. Who could predict that? Hadn't I made quite a few wrong decisions lately?Then that decision couldn't make it much worse than it already was. I took another deep breath and entered.

I couldn't believe my eyes. There, in the dining room, sat Kogoro, the inspector, Heiji, Kazuha and ..... And Ran. I stared at Ran, couldn't take a step forward ... Heiji had discovered me by now. "Well there he is ...", he exclaimed happily, and already looked as if he wanted to jump up and run towards me. Heiji was visibly relieved that I had made up my mind to come in. But if he hadn't said anything about Ran, I would have left. And now Ran was actually here. Here in her apartment. Recently, actually a long time ago, she had passed me after meeting with gin. . The inspector also seemed tremendously relieved. But my eyes were only on Ran. Why was she here? Why only? Ran looked at me too. I couldn't read her gaze. Was that someone looking at me who knew who I really was?Who was actually one of my enemies? I swallowed. // Don't let it show you Shinichi //, those were my only thoughts. I walked slowly towards the others. The closer I got, the more tense I got. // Pull yourself together ..... //, yes, I had to pull myself together.

I spent the next few hours like in a dream. We all sat together at a table, Ran, Kogoro, Heiji, Kazuha, the inspector and me. The few who knew the reason for the police protection were Heiji, the inspector, and myself. Not quite ... Ran surely knew that too. I could certainly no longer hide anything from her. She knew I was Shinichi. Was she just waiting for a favorable moment to be alone with me? Would she deliver me gin and vodka? Why had she just walked past me earlier? I sat around in complete silence. I was also very tense. I had the feeling that Ran was about to jump up and hold a gun to my head.How could I think of Ran like that? I couldn't let anyone show anything. But Heiji must have already noticed that something was wrong. Sure, he knew me. After all, we had a lot in common. If only I could tell him everything. But .... The 'but' kept popping up in my mind. I didn't want any of that. I didn't want everyone who had anything to do with Conan Edogawa to be under police protection because of me.

There was a lot of discussion and a lot of drinking (which was not good for Kogoro, among others). After a while, jokes were told to lift the mood a little. I still lived everything in a kind of trance. Everything seemed so incredible to me. I wish it was all a nightmare and any moment I would wake up from it and find that nothing had happened at all. But somehow I knew that this had to be reality. Even a dream couldn't be so terrible.It wouldn't last that long anyway ... It was now four in the morning ... Slowly but surely I was getting tired again. Funny, I had already slept a bit. In contrast to Kogoro and Ran, who still looked awake and hadn't found sleep that night, I had to look really overtired. But maybe I had just gone
