Seeing As It Is Taking A Lot Of Time To Post New Stuff. ( Because Of Work, Being Sick, Having Tech Problems

Seeing as it is taking a lot of time to post new stuff. ( Because of work, being sick, having tech problems and art block)

I decided to post a image of practice art I had. This is a rough doodle of some of the more vampire testing stuff I had for the earlier ideas of the series. Some stuff will stay and some will go...not sure what yet. But over all her be a vampire Mouri. 

Sorry it’s taking time....but!

It is taking some time. For making the next part. Hopefully not much longer. But you guys have been waiting for some time. So I could at least hint at something that will be coming up soon.

So here is the cover for File 2: The Demon in the smoke!

[A Case of Identity, A Favorite Quote] I wonder which one was the demon

“Ask a Famous Detective. An ask box. Why do we need one of those?” Ran asked as Conan chuckled at the odd sign.

“Will, I figure seeing as we have gotten so busy with cases. This is a good way for people to ask about cases they think maybe too small to bug me over or not sure on. Maybe just if they want to pick the brain of the world famous ‘Sleeping Kogoro’!

“If they do that there won’t be much to pick from.” Conan grined at Kogoro. This got him a quick knock on the head.

               “Megure you got to be messing with me?” Asked Kogoro staring at his former police partner. Megure with Takagi standing next to him shrugged a bit.

               “Sorry Mouri, but I’m serious. The blood is yours and the only fingerprints on anything are yours and the bank members prints. On the outside of the box.” Megure said simple. Kogoro rubbed his chin slightly. Silently deep in thought. First a strange box with a blood note and now more questions then answers? Conan took the moment to change the subject a bit.

               “Officer Takagi? What are all the items in the box? We didn’t touch anything inside. So we really aren’t sure what’s inside of the box aside from the suitcase, the sealed music box, the strange box and envelopes?”

               “In truth we are still looking into that. The envelopes have money and closed notes. The music box has a protection seal so we haven’t opened it yet. The Strange box I’m having a friend look into it. The suitcase well…” Takagi shrugged and looked up for a moment. Megure sighed.

               “We don’t know.” Megure said.

               “Why not?” Ran asked.

               “We can’t get it opened.” Takagi said. Kogoro and Conan sighed a bit. However, Takagi smiled. “Don’t worry. My friend is good with this kind of stuff. She is a bit strange but she is very smart.” Without any warning someone coughed and cleared their throat behind him.

               “Me strange? Takagi have you met yourself?” Said a woman’s voice. Takagi spun around startled and rubbed his neck and chuckled a bit as everyone else raised an eyebrow.

               “Oh. Ha. Sorry.” Takagi said. The girl who couldn’t be that much older then Ran laughed a bit. She didn’t seem that upset at all.

               “No problem. Hi I’m Jessrin Lotus.” She said. As soon as Kogoro heard the gals name. His head felt like a nail had been driven through it.

               ‘I’ll never forget’. A whisper echoed in his head and he felt like his skull was about to exploded. He grabbed his forhead as his heart pounded a bit his head filled with a strange static. Then it stopped. As soon as it started it was over. Kogoro felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up.

               “Mouri?” Megure asked worried for his friend. Kogoro shook his head shaking away the last of the headache.

               “I’m ok.” Said and gave a slight cough not noticing he was sweeting a bit. Other then that strange moment he felt fine. Jessrin watched for a moment. Curious about what was going on and if this was normal. Then she finally broke the silence and mild worry.

               “So…..I took a look at the item Takagi asked me to look at. And all I can say is wow!” Jessrin said smiling ear to ear. Like a child who find the best kind of candy.

               “Wow?” Conan asked a bit confused. Jessrin nodded a bit.

               “It’s called a ‘Pires Kit’ back when the US colonies were dealing with the ‘Salem witch trails’. These were often found at the homes of these so-called witches. They were believed to be used to help vampire and demon allies.” Jessrin said very excited. Everyone was kind of now both curious and even more confused now. Why on earth had this been in the security box? “It was said that when the witches or warlocks took a demon or vampire allies. They would keep this as a way to give them blood for when they were weak and-“

               “Wait!” Ran suddenly blurted. “Is the red stuff in the bottles blood?” She asked a bit suddenly panicked. Everyone except for the Jessrin girl was now wondering whose blood was in the bottles in the strange box.  

               “Otosan mail.” Ran said as she had just got finished visiting with Azusa downstairs in the café.

               “A letter from the ask box?” Kogoro asked reading the paper surprised have just put the sign and box that morning.

               “No, it a package. A very heavy package. It’s from….” Ran raised and eyebrow at the package. “‘The Hidden Dragons’ bank in Osaka.” She explained. Kogoro looked at her funny and so did Conan who had been reading a book on the sofa.

               “That’s the bank Heiji helped close down.” Conan said. “The bank manger had been secretly stealing safety deposit boxes and selling them off to pay for the fact that the bank itself was in huge debt.” Conan said running over and jumping onto Kogoro back to see what was in the box.

               “Weird what would they be sending me.” Kogoro wondered and opened the package. He stared for a moment as he was now even more confused. “It a large safety deposit box. Why send me this?”

               “Otosan there is a letter on the side of the box.” Ran pointed. Sure, enough a letter was stuck between the box and the inside of the package. Conan grabbed it and opened it and began to read.

               “Dear Mr. Mouri do to the closer of the bank. Multiple safety deposit boxes are being returned to their owners. In closed is one ‘large’ deposit box that was left in our care. The box in closed has been in the care of the bank for the last 10 years. We are unsure if this is a box that was forgot or miss placed in the past. But after doing some digging your name was find as the ‘signer’ for the box. Note this box was marked as ‘do not accuse’. So, all items inside have never been removed or looked at without your ok. We are sorry for any trouble do to the possible lose of the box or it’s return. Have a nice day and thank you for being a member of ‘The Hidden Dragons’ bank.” Conan read. “Then it’s just stamped at the bottom.”

“……” Kogoro tilted his head. “Weird I don’t remember getting a safety deposit box in Osaka.” He mumbled.

               “Maybe it had been for work when you were on the force.” Ran said tilting her head. Kogoro shrugged and nodded.

               “Well let’s find out whats in the box.” He said grabbing the key that was chain to the side. He popped the lock and the top opened. “Nani!” He exclaimed and Conan and Ran gasp.

               Inside the box had a few strange things. Set of envelopes, a small jewelry box with a protection seal on it, a suit case of some kind and a strange box with bottles and syringe. But the part worrying them most was the letter wrote in blood.

               ‘Don’t you dare forget them.’
