Sun Within The Darkness

Chapter 3: Preparation

Hattori Heiji the high school detective from Osaka, known in the title as the Detective of the West came to Tokyo Metropolitant HQ to attend a meeting with his father, Hattori Heizo the superintendent of Osaka HQ. It won't be only them but also other representative from other places in Tokyo, concerning the on-the-run-serial-killer Kudo Shinichi.

In Heiji's case, he really can't believe someone same age as him could become a serious Serial Killer that is hard to predict where he will appear and kill people on sight. In his eyes, he is like Jack the Reaper, the only difference is his target could be anyone, no specification unlike the serial killer in 18th century in London where his target are women. For that reason, Heiji will do whatever it takes to put him to stop no matter what.

"Heiji" His father called him. He answered, "Y-yes Dad?"

"I agreed on taking ya with me Heiji but always remember not to speak unless necessary, do ya understand?" Heizo said in serious tone, making Heiji salute to his father in promise he will. "Aye Sir."

Feeling content, Heizo continue his walk and Heiji followed from behind. Upon arriving the meeting room, Heiji saw many new faces and of course some people he knew in Tokyo Police.

"Welcome superintendent Hattori-san" A female detective greeted with a man beside him. "Hattori-kun it's been a while."

"Ahh, Sato-keiji it's been a while too, you too Takagi-keiji." Heiji greeted back while his father only nod as his reply. Takagi-keiji spoke, "Come this way."

Takagi-keiji led the way and the two followed. Getting to their sit, the two began to study the papers that's resting to their table. It's all about the victims that the serial killer had mercilessly killed. As expected, nothing about them are common for them to pinpoint his aim, like everything he's doing are hobbies.

"It's already 146 victims ever since he appeared." Heizo commented as he studied them. Heiji nodded to his statement as he kept studying them.

Seeing nothing will point things, Heiji gave a deep sigh before checking the profile of the Serial Killer.

'Kudo Shinichi, seventeen years old disappeared nine years ago due to kidnapping and soon reappeared as a serial killer three years ago. He is the son of Kudo Yusaku the famous mystery novelist and Kudo Yukiko famous actress but retired after marrying.'

Heiji can't help but wonder the missing years, what had those kidnappers done to make him become who he is now? He knew whatever happened within those years could give answers to what they seek.

'If only we knew someone who knew him about what happen after his kidnap, it would be easier to counter or even predict him... sigh... Who would have thought dealing this guy would be same as dealing with that black organization?' Heiji thought as he scratched his head in frustration.

Only few knew but Heiji secretly investigating about a dangerous organization called black organization, a mafia syndicate that's spreading around the world. Their existence is unknown, well except to special forces like FBI from America and Special Police from Japan to investigate and put them to stop. How he ended up getting involve was when one time in his visit with his childhood friend Toyoma Kazuha in Tokyo to meet up with Mouri Ran, Kazuha's close friend. The two really get along until they got to meet with the children that the scientist inventor, Agasa-hakase look after, the children they call themselves Detective Boys. One of them was someone he had noticed very mature in their age, the female child named Haibara Ai. It took a while for him to crack the barrier and began to learn the truth. The existence of Black Organization and the drug she had develop that made her shrink which in thought supposed to take her life. By learning about them, Heiji decided to put them to justice, of course the not-child-but-scientist Haibara Ai in real name Miyano Shiho told him to stop but of course he didn't and continue searching about them. Along the way he had met the FBI who were actually investigating about them so when time needs, they will fight alongside to bring them down.
