[themissingdetective]

Aa, Megure-Keibu, please make sure not to mention my involvement into today's case.

Comments

[tuxedo_magician]

Okay, this is just getting weird.

[themissingdetective]

Did you steal the Inspector's phone?

[tuxedo_magician]

If I stole any Inspector's phone, it would be Nakamori-keibu's.

[themissingdetective]

Since it's you, I couldn't be sure.

[tuxedo_magician]

Mmm.

I suppose I do have to give you that one, Meitantei.

So what case is it that you don't want anyone to know you solved?

[themissingdetective]

You're sure to see something about it on the news.

[spoilsfun]

[Ah, what? His voice? His real voice?

Did this mean that version of himself from the future had found the cure?

But quick, what could he say without giving it away that they were the same person?]

Sorry Shinichi-niichan. I think you called the wrong number.

[This was very strange. ]

[themissingdetective]

[ He's already aware of this past self so it's not nearly as jarring to him. But he can use this to his advantage. ]

Sorry Conan-kun, didn't mean to bother you.

[spoilsfun]

No, you didn't bother me. I'm just on the train right now. But you should probably call Ran-neechan soon.

[themissingdetective]

[ Yeah, he hasn't really spoken to Ran as Shinichi since they got back from London and it might be a little awkward... ]

[ Aside from the bombing case anyway. ]

I know, I just haven't found the time. I still have other cases that need immediate attention.

[spoilsfun]

What's more important than speaking to Ran?

[Seriously what, future self. ]

[themissingdetective]

[ You'll understand when you're older. ]

A specific case that occupies most of my time.

[tanteiswife]

[..... She knows that voice.]

Eh? Shinichi? What case?

[DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, RAN. Don't think about it and start fumbling for words.]

[themissingdetective]

[ Oh. ]

[ Oops. ]

Uh... the case from this morning. With the bombing at the Tokyo Stadium.

[realmoflaw]

[These weird unexpected calls are starting to get on his nerves.]

Keibu? That isn't a marine rank. Who is this?

[themissingdetective]

No one, wrong number.

[ Like he's going to just give the random people he ends up calling his name. ]

[realmoflaw]

Awfully hard to be no one when you're the one calling.

[Despite not a single one of these, so far, being with anyone Law knows, he's got to make sure. Their plans are delicate right now. Even the slightest mishap could have the worst ending brought down upon their heads.]

[themissingdetective]

I meant to call the police inspector about something. Somehow, it seems I got you instead. Ergo, it's a wrong number.

[realmoflaw]

[Police inspector? Definitely in favor of the World Government, then. Must be pretty small time if he's only dealing with police, then. Law relaxes.]

Employing them young these days, huh? [Silence, Law, you've been a pirate since you were ten.]

[themissingdetective]

I may have just gotten out of the academy but I wouldn't really say that's young.

[nightbaroness]

Ahh, Shin-Chan I believe you have the wrong number. You should be more careful.

[themissingdetective]

A-Aa, Sorry mom. This seems to be happening a lot lately.

[ Should he tell his parents about the recent bombing? It's not like he can't handle it on his own after all. ]

[nightbaroness]

Seems so! While I love hearing from you more [ even if it's on accident ] it'd be unfortunate if you accidentally speak to the wrong person.

[ she doesn't have to say right ]

[themissingdetective]

[ He probably doesn't even need to be using the bowtie right now but just in case. ]

[ Also, don't remind him. ]

If it's anyone I don't know I just won't give out my name.

[nightbaroness]

And if it's someone you do know? Or heard your voice? You're pretty famous!
