[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.

[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]

Did you steal the Inspector's phone?

[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.

[tuxedo_magician]

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

[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]

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

[themissingdetective]

[ Oh. ]

[ Oops. ]

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

[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?

[spoilsfun]

What's more important than speaking to Ran?

[Seriously what, future self. ]

[themissingdetective]

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

[themissingdetective]

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

A specific case that occupies most of my time.

[tuxedo_magician]

I see a lot of your cases on the news, you'll have to narrow it down a little.

[themissingdetective]

Actually, they're probably covering it right now. Someone planted bombs on the scoreboard at Tokyo Stadium.

[spoilsfun]

If you haven't solved that case, what are you doing here?

[How did you get cured if you haven't solved it, he means. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ KID's silent for a minute, his mind going back over the recent cases in his mind, frowning to himself and then going back further. ]

.... ah, yes, I do remember that one. Not your most recent one for me, but I suppose that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

[themissingdetective]

I'm not. I needed to call the inspector with information regarding the recent case, that's all.

[themissingdetective]

Ugh. This time discrepancy is getting on my nerves. If you're from my future, I have to ask; have you seen me recently? Or am I still working on the same case?

[ He means does he have the cure yet? ]

[realmoflaw]

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

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

[nightbaroness]

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

[themissingdetective]

No one, wrong number.

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

[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 ]
