"How cute! And this is me!" Ayumi smiled as she picked up a chocolate piece that was made in her image. It was the day after valentine's day when Ran had called over the detective boys and Hakase to hand them her chocolates, all of which had their faces on. The detective boys were most definitely happy, having received chocolates from her.

"Can we really eat these?" Genta asked picking up the one that looked like him. The older girl smiled at them warmly "Of course! I put all my energy into making these at the lodge for you guys."

"But when did you make these? I didn't see them on the table back at the lodge?" Conan curiously inquired. "Oh I made them for practice and quickly put them in the fridge, so we were quite lucky, it might have been ruined due to the case." She explained, the young girl would soon momentarily leave however as she decided on making some tea for them.

There was a knock on the door, Mouri was first to answer, nearly tripping over the wires of his headsets and hitting his knee on the furniture. Opening the door, it revealed a man. A seemingly young adult male, his build a mix of Mouri and Agasa. Wearing a button up shirt, a pair of pants and a brown coat. His clothes were in an autumnal scheme and the bangs of his fair parted and framed his forehead.

"Welcome! What kind of case will it be today?" He asked, greeting the man with a smile.

"Ah good day" the man greeted awkwardly, before a solemn expression formed on his face. "I need you to search a woman for me." He was welcomed into the office, the children making way for them to get inside and seat down comfortably but not leaving due to their curiosity.

"Is this some case of childhood lover or love at first sight?" Was Mouri's rather gruff question, giving the man some narrowed eyes, showing his suspicions and still not on board with his case. The man shook his head and hands flabbergasted "The woman I want you to look for saved me and my wife from a terrible situation! I just want to express some gratitude!"

Now this is where Conan decided to lean towards, his attention seemingly caught like a fish and a bobber.

The man started to tell his story.

"Me and my wife lived at an apartment building, the owner always came to our apartment to use our audio room, and at the time I wasn't aware that she was getting close to my wife. She was more of a debt collector and a pyramid scammer than an apartment manager." He clenched his fists, anger and hatred coursed his veins "She got my wife to get into stocks, causing her to get massive debts, it was to the point that she attempted to commit suicide after confessing it to me."

Tears welled up his eyes at the trauma, "luckily she's alive, but she's in the hospital. She's still recovering from the wounds."

The children had tears prickling their eyes at the sensitive and touchy subjects, the joy from receiving chocolates seemed to melt away at the sad downpour. "The person who I want you to find is the person who hit my wife with her car."

"Eh?"

"So you want us to find two people?" Mouri asked pulling out his pen and paper. "No, they're one of the same person." He clarified.

"So the person who saved your wife... was also the same person who hit her with their car..?" Agasa chimed in. They all deadpanned at how he nodded albeit embarrassed, agreeing if he was in their shoes it would sound ludicrous.
