The Black Fox (Shinichi X Reader)

The Keeper of Secrets

Shinichi covered his face and ran out into the hallway, coughing. When the smoke began to clear, he stepped back inside, and froze. The blood that had covered the floor was gone.

"That's why she stuck that knife inside the jar." Shinichi said to himself, as he headed towards the closet. He turned the doorknob and slowly pulled the door open. The little boy was hiding under a pile of blankets, crying softly.

"Hey, you alright kid?" Shinichi whispered as he touched the little boy's arm. The boy flinched and tried to hide deeper under the blankets. "Hey, don't worry, I'm here to help you. My name's Shinichi. I'm a detective. All the bad guys are gone. You can come out now." Shinichi said softly.

The little boy peaked out from under the blankets and looked at Shinichi before slowly climbing out from under them and out of the closet. "Why don't we wait in the hall for the police to come?" Shinichi asked the little boy. The boy nodded and followed Shinichi out into the hall where he phoned Mcguire.

After around twenty minutes, Inspector Mcguire and the rest of the police arrived. The officers entered the apartment and set to work while Mcguire sat to talk to Shinichi and the little boy.

"So, tell me what happened." Mcguire asked the little boy.

"I was watching TV, when the scary man came through the door and shut off the light. He grabbed me and pushed me onto the floor. I was really scared, so I covered my head. Then I heard glass breaking, and the superhero kicked the scary man away!"

"The superhero?" Mcguire questioned.

"Yeah the person all dressed in black with the cool fox mask!" The little boy said with awe in his voice.

"Wait, are you telling me that that person saved you?"

"Yeah. He picked me up, and put me in the closet. Before he closed the door, he told me that he was gonna protect me, and if he couldn't then someone named Shinichi would make sure I was safe."

Me? Shinichi thought to himself. How could she be so sure that I would get here in time to take care of the boy?

"Then what happened?"

"I don't know. The superhero closed the door. I heard a lot of yelling, but I couldn't make out any of the words." The boy said softly.

"Alright, then you came in." Mcguire said, turning towards Shinichi.

"Yeah. When I came in the lights were off. I could see the killer by the window, and Black Fox over by the kitchen." Shinichi recounted. "The killer turned and ran out the window, but Black Fox threw a knife at him. The knife went into his shoulder before he ran down the fire escape. Then Black Fox gave me this jar, and dropped some smoke bombs. When the smoke cleared, the blood was all gone and so was Black Fox." Shinichi recalled. Leaving out the part about Black Fox's wounds.

Shinichi wasn't sure why he was covering for you, but he wanted to understand why you were going so far.

"Alright, we'll see what we can find. I'll have one of my officers take you to the station for your statements." Mcguire stated.

Buzz Buzz Buzz

Shinichi looked down at his phone, and flipped it open. Blocked number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kudo." Came the weak reply.

"Black Fox!"

"Wait, Black Fox is on the phone?" Mcguire gasped.

"Yeah, it's me. Can you put me on speaker?"

"Yeah." Shinichi said as he did what you asked.
