"No, just the opposite.You can really be proud of him. He's just helped the police solve a murder case. Well, then I'll go again. Ciao, Ms. Kudo. "
When Inspector Hank left, my mother looked at me with serious eyes.
"How did you know who the perpetrator was? How did you do that?" she investigates, but she doesn't sound like being proud of someone. So i just said:
"I don't know either, I was amazed myself that I knew all of this. It just happened there and ..."
"It's okay, it's okay." my mother calms me down. "It's not that bad, I'm sorry."
I can't make sense of them. Quite perplexed, I look after my mother. Even though I should have been asleep long ago, I still overhear a conversation my parents are having. All I can hear is that it's about me.
"Now he has already solved his first murder case here, honey. It certainly won't take long and he'll know everything again.""Yes, really, above all he is way too good at school, the teachers are also amazed."
"No wonder, after all, that's all kid stuff for him."
"Yes, yes, but he'll remember soon."
"Let's wait and see. He doesn't know much yet and we'll see how far it goes."
Then the voices break off because they now also go to bed.
"They keep something from me, that's for sure. My detective instinct tells me that ... What? Am I a detective? Am I starting to remember myself?"
... There is only one truth and I find it ...
Then suddenly it falls like scales from my eyes.
"Do you know who I really am? Do you know my past?"
I fall asleep over this thought.
I dream pretty confused things, but some things seem familiar to me. Among other things from a girl, but she is much older than me, maybe 17. And then there is another detective agency that I live in, yes, together with this girl and her father, who owns the detective agency.... Man, I prefer Ran ten thousand times to these Detective Boys. They're really annoying with their cases. As if they had ever solved any case without me….
Again I had a memory. I had to laugh inside. Those Detective Boys, or whatever they were called, work just like Josh, Daran and Kira. Apparently I have a thing for people like that.
I suddenly remember. Ran, yes that was her name. The girl I actually live with. The one who saw me as her little brother.
"It's slowly coming back. I'm curious what is still missing."
Still, I can't think of anything today.
"Tomorrow I have to write everything down exactly so I don't forget it again." I still mumble before I finally go to the land of dreams.
"Ouhhahh ..." I yawned and got myself a reproachful look from my mother. Mother? Oh no, now it came back to me. She's not my real mother at all. I live with Ran and this detective, what was his name?Anyway, I definitely know who I am again.
I then announced that loudly.
"Mom, Dad, I know again. I know who I am again."
Yusaku and Yukiko look at each other seriously. They almost start arguing, but Yukiko just sighed and Yusaku replied:
"Well, then it was all for nothing, Shinichi!"
"Don't call me Shinichi!"
Both looked at me in amazement. "And why not?"
"My name is Conan Edugawa, I am 7 years old, I live with Ran and Kogoro Mori because my parents left me because they have business abroad and my best friends are the Detective Boys, Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Genta Kojima and Ai Haibara. So please call me Conan again, because that's my real name. "
The two promised and yet I immediately noticed that something was wrong. They didn't seem happy that I knew everything again, but rather were pissed off.
"I really love you and I will definitely write to you, but I would rather go home, where I belong, to the Mori detective agency.""You are at home." Yukiko muttered softly. I didn't understand the meaning of the sentence and related it to the fact that they didn't want to give me up.
"You are mean if you don't let me go. You must already miss me." I was close to tears. I knew who I was again and then I wasn't allowed to go home.
"If you knew what we did to you, Shinichi. Now you have no memory of your own self. Your self-created Ficton has taken possession of you. Now you are even mentally an elementary school student. Your knowledge is still safe in your subconscious stored, but it will be filled in and then at some point it will be laboriously brought out, but only at a time when you need it. Because we have kept your past from you, it is really only the past. We have lost our son. "
Yukiko didn't want to trust her own thoughts.
Yusaku just said: "Let him go if he wants.“He, too, was dismayed by the fact.” Oh yes, and when you're in Tokyo, say hello to our son for us, okay? His name is Shinichi Kudo, but just talk to Ran and Professor Agasa about him, okay? "He was hoping for a reaction from me. But I just said:
"Is that why you always called me Shinichi. Because your real son's name is like that? Was I just the replacement for him? I'll tell him that. He's definitely not going to find it funny when I say that. I'll call Ran first I'll fly home next week. ”With that, I went to the phone. For a long time only a dial tone came from the receiver, but then finally ...
"Ran Mori on the line?"
"Ran, hello."
"C-Conan?" The professor had impressed on her not to address him as Shinichi, but as Conan.
"Yes, it's Ran. I just wanted to say that I'll be back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow."
"Then do you remember again?" she exulted.
"Yes, I know everything again." I answered."That's great, Shinichi. I'll inform the professor and Heiji in a moment." She forgot all caution.
"Shinichi? Heiji? Who the hell are they?"
Then it came back to me.
"That's right, Shinichi is the son of Kudo's."
"Um, you Ran, I have one more request. I'm currently living at Kudo's and they have a son there and his name is Shinichi. I should tell you to say hello from his parents." I added.
Ran's voice suddenly looked depressed.
"What else do you know?"
Once again I was drifting down all my knowledge about myself. After that, Ran looked mightily relieved.
"Well, that's really all. You even remembered about the fire. Then everything's fine. We'll pick you up at the airport, Conan." The last word dragged her out incredibly.
(different view)
As soon as he hung up, Ran began to cry bitterly. She kept crying all night. It wasn't until the next morning that she had calmed down enough to go to the professor.There she made a report. The others stared at Ran in disbelief. But she told the whole truth.
"We're going to L.A. immediately and then Yukiko and Yusaku get to hear from me, really." Ai was of the same opinion, although she used completely different words.
"Um, I think I still know someone who could help us. He should come any minute. Ah, there he is." observed Heiji.
No less a person than the Kaito Kid came through the window.
"I'll make it clear to Kudo who he is again. Without him as an opponent, being a thief is no fun!" he grinned.
"Then it's a done deal. The five of us, we'll fly to L.A. tomorrow and get Shinichi back."
"Yes sir." the others agreed and then they broke up. When the professor and Ai got to the airport the next day, Ran and Kaito Kid were already there. All they had to do was wait for Heiji. This then came running after about 5 minutes, screaming all over the airfield:
"Sorry I'm so late, but I still had to tell KAZUHA that she won't be able to go with you"He stopped breathless in front of Ran and took a deep breath.
"I think everyone knows by now, Heiji, that you don't want me with you." someone answered.
"Kazuha?" asked Ran astonished.
"I just wanted to give this weirdo his lucky charm because he forgot it again. But like this ..." she turned around and left, offended.
"Hey, wait Kazu-chan. That's not what I meant. You can't come along, right?" he tried to apologize.
"It's clear, Heiji. Nalos, go on, the others are already waiting." Kazuha urged him. That was true. Ran, Ai and Professor Agasa stood impatiently at the gangway. Kid had already made himself comfortable on the plane. Of course, this time he wasn't a kid, but Kaito Kubura.
"Phew, I hate flies." confided Ai Ran shortly after the start. But if she thought she could start a reasonable conversation with Ran by doing this, she was wrong. The 17-year-old resented the actual scientist that she was partly responsible for Shinichi's situation.Ai sighed softly and sat quietly next to Ran. The two were silent the whole flight. Heiji, on the other hand, talked animatedly with Kaito about some cases. Kaito soon realized that not only Kudo is a worthy opponent, but also this detective from Osaka.
"Why do I actually help Kudo, and above all, why Heiji? He could actually be glad that nobody gets in his way while clearing the felling. Ok, without Kudo it is quite boring, but as long as it is stuck in the child's body he is no obstacle either. "
Little did he know that the student detective next to him had a very similar thought at the same time. Only with him did he know why he was helping kudo. Officially, he just wants to compete with him to see who is the better detective of the two. But in truth there is much more to it than that, although he doesn't like to admit it, Kudo is now his best friend.
"We probably would never have become friends if it hadn't shrunk.Does Kudo see me as a friend too? Hopefully I can convince him that in reality he's not just a little plug. "
Ran ignored the two of them. Her mind was with Shinichi, but with the Shinichi she loved so much.
"Do I still love Shinichi? Of course, but how about him? Hasn't he changed a lot? Ok, he has shrunk, but he was never that thoughtful before, not even when he was little. Somehow he has become different , much adult, no longer the cheeky crime fool with all the books. "
"Attention, an announcement! Please fasten your seat belts, we will land in a few minutes."
It wasn't long before the plane touched the ground gently. Ai,
