Detective Conan Funny
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and this is a sort of continuation of About Edogawa by Ellen Brand. It's kind of a 'What would happen' if Yukiko, in disguise of course, tried to visit Conan while he was at Police HQ given their…misunderstanding ^^. Enjoy)
It had been such a normal day at Division One. There had been a murder, Conan Edogawa had been nearby, and the murder was solved in less than two hours. Pretty simple right? Well that's how things had started out at least.
After the case was closed and the killer arrested however Conan had to come to the Police Headquarters to give his statement, another normal thing given how each of the cops that had been in the division for more than two months had greeted the boy by name and he knew each of their names. As well as asked them questions like how Poshio's sister was doing in the hospital and Liati's daughter was doing in her Judo classes. Truthfully Shigeru hadn't even known those officers names much less what their sister and daughter were doing.
Honestly Shigeru had been thankful for his superiors officers warnings about the boy or else he would have really stuck his foot in it when he saw a kid poking around a crime scene.
"Conan-kun!" Sato beamed at the sight of the boy and made her way over immediately as a chorus of cheers and hellos rang out from the other officers in the room.
"Let me guess. Another murder?" Sato asked and Shigeru was very much aware of the fact that she was asking the seven year old instead of him.
"Yeah. Some business guy killed his partner cause of money issues and he wanted the life insurance payout." Conan said shrugging and the fact that a seven year old was saying that so easily….Shigeru was sure that there should definitely be a red flag somewhere for that.
"Just another Tuesday huh?" Takagi asked making Conan give a small shrug.
"I suppose." Conan said non-committedly.
"Conan~" A sing song voice called from somewhere making Conan's eyes widen as his head whipped around and he looked a bit pale too. Shigeru wasn't the only one who looked startled and tense at the boys reaction.
Every officer there had seen Conan stare down gunmen, madmen and men trying to threaten him at least once…a piece. If not ten times a piece. Granted Shigeru had only seen it once earlier today but still…a boy who can stare down the barrel of a gun and not be bothered…was now pale and looked scared.
"Kaa-san?!" Conan asked more than said and like that the entire office went dead silent as all of the officers processed what he had said.
Kaa-san. As in Conan's mother? She was here?! Each of the officers knew of how Conan seemed so wary of someone getting to know him or his family and his past. He was more scared of people getting close to him or getting to know him than he was of being threatened with violence. Not to mention that he hadn't seen nor heard from his parents for over a year since he was left with the Mouri's and he hadn't been bothered in the least by it and now just hearing his mothers voice was making him react like this... For the cynical cops of Division One it did not paint a good picture of his home life before the Mouri's.
"Come on Conan-kun. Some of the others would like to talk with your kaa-san. Why don't we go and check out some of the other cases that have been piling up?" Sato asked reacting first as she stepped forward and picked Conan up in her arms, making the boy give a squawk of surprise and wiggle around a bit looking confused.
Sato didn't waste any time as she gave Takagi a look that he nodded at and he moved to intercept the woman that they could hear walking down the hall towards the room. It was easy to hear her heels clack clacking against the tile floor towards the door after all.
Sato didn't spare a backwards glance as she bundled Conan towards a room that had a bunch of older cases in it, ones where they had run out of leads and therefore had to shelve them until another lead or a case with the same M.O.
Waiting until Sato and Conan were safely enclosed in the room, Meguire nodded to himself once and then moved to his desk to dial a certain number.
"Shiratori-kun. Help Takagi-kun with distraction. Chiba-kun if she gets past them two get Conan from Sato-kun and take him to another room to buy some more time. Hopefully she'll have to leave soon and can't waste too much time trying to find him so this will be resolved quickly and easily. Do not let her get near our mascot!" Meguire ordered as he put the phone up towards his ear to await the person on the other end picking up the line.
"Yes sir!" Every cop there immediately agreed and they were all more than ready to act as a physical wall between Conan and the woman he called Kaa-san.
"Sir. You remember what was discussed about Conan's former home life? About his parents?" MeGuire asked whoever picked up the other end of the phone.
"Yes well…his mother is in the building. She's coming down the hall towards Division One now, Takagi-kun and Shiratori-kun are distracting her and keeping her back while Sato-kun has Conan in the room for cold cases or those that are at dead ends at the moment to keep him busy until she leaves." MeGuire reported and then quietly listened for a moment to whoever was on the other end of the phone talking.
"Alright. We'll keep them separate…Yes sir….Yes sir. Yes sir. Alright. See you soon sir." MeGuire said before putting the phone back down and looking a bit stern.
Operation Protect Conan was firmly a go as of this very moment and it would last as long as it had to.
Of course later it would be known as the great 'Keep Away' game.
