Hello? Inspector Nakamori? Hakuba Saguru here. I was just wondering if I could have a look at that case file again, there is something about it that is bothering me...

It seems to be happening a lot lately. Phones aren't correctly.

[ Nope. Not dragging anyone else into this horrendous mess. ]

Thank you for the offer, but I have it under control

[ Lie of the century right there. ]

[awhitehorse]

Hm, how strange. A global network disruption of some sort?

Very well - but as you know, my family are... highly placed. And I do not mind pulling some strings for you, as it were. Holmes fans ought to stick together. Might I add, I was very impressed by your work on the Clock case.

[themissingdetective]

[ Yawn. He's never going back sleep now. ]

Something like that.

[ Clock case? Which one? There's only one Kudou Shinichi is associated with. ]

Thanks, although I didn't exactly catch him.

[awhitehorse]

I had not heard about anything of the sort, which is strange - almost targeted.

You came closer than many, excepting myself, of course!

[themissingdetective]

I looked into it a little bit but the cell phone company said it was the first they heard of it. They requested I check my contacts like I hadn't already done that. [ The nerve of some people ]

[ Wait a minute. It's not really that he cares but last he checked the one credited with being the closest to catching Kid was Conan-which he is Conan. ]

Except for Conan.

[awhitehorse]

Hm. Very odd. I will look into it as well, perhaps Interpol or the FBI might have heard more.

Who is Conan?

[themissingdetective]

[ Either this guy is trying to insinuate he has connections in Interpol and the FBI or he's mocking him. ]

Conan-kun. The kid that stays at the Mouri Detective Agency and occasionally matches wits against KID.

[awhitehorse]

[ .......both? ]

The name isn't familiar, sorry - I was not aware that KID had had any encounters with a Mouri Detective Agency, or a kid named Conan.

[themissingdetective]

Sounds like you've been out of Japan for too long then. A seven year old is about to take your job.

[awhitehorse]

I did not think it was THAT long - but I suppose a lot can change in a year.

I did not think the police were accepting seven-year olds as consultants!

[themissingdetective]

Their not. It's Suzuki Jirokichi-out of curiosity-have you been to the sunset manor yet?

[awhitehorse]

The head of the Suzuki Zaibatsu? Well, the rich can be eccentric, at times. [ Says he with a pet hawk and a butler... ]

Sunset Manor? No - why do you ask?

[themissingdetective]

No reason, just curious.

[awhitehorse]

A case of yours? I regret to say I've never looked into anything to do with it. Should I be?

[themissingdetective]

I don't generally discuss my cases with just anyone.

[awhitehorse]

I will point out that you were the one who brought it up in the first place. As a fellow dectective, surely you can understand the resultant curiosity.

[themissingdetective]

The sunset Manor isn't my case but it was the site of a mass murder about fifty years ago.

Anyways, I have somewhere to be in a few hours [ Elementary School ] So, I'm going back to bed.

Good luck with the Kid case.

[awhitehorse]

I think I remember hearing about that. Is it relevant to something in particular?

[ Is this some random clue you are throwing at him... ]

Ah, well in that case, rest well. Thank you, and good luck with your own case.
