Fourteenth Deduction [Text]

[Conan listens worriedly to Ran in the other room. This entire disaster had caught him completely by surprise. Not only the illusory bodies being replaced with real bodies, but the thick fog cutting off travel options. Not to mention the sudden disappearance of everyone in the house. Adam and Makoto had disappeared with no clues to their location. Hattori and Kazuha were gone as well. Lost in the fog, he culd only hope.

And there was nothing he could do. Leaving the house with no clues and little visibility would be a mistake. And he could not lead Ran into that kind of danger. All he could do was try to gather information.]

Hattori? Where are you? What's your condition?

Luke? Where are you? Are you staying inside somewhere?

Is everyone okay? This fog is scary isn't it? It would be awful to be lost out there. Is there anyone missing?

Has anyone thought about what to do about all the corpses?

Kudo!

We ended up near th' prison camp. Kazuha an' I are a little scratched up, but don't worry about us.

Has Adam come back?

Th' situation has changed.

[For his part Shinichi is very relieved to hear from Hattori. He'd been worried, you idiot.]

How's your visibility? Can you make it back to the house? And what do you mean by scratched up? Do you need medical supplies?

No. Ran and I are alone at the house. Have you heard from him?

I noticed. The illusory bodies have been replaced with the real corpses. [He bites out the words slightly. The very existence of so many deaths was enough to trigger a deep anger at whoever had done this. That many of the bodies resembled people that were family and acquaintances of the victims here only made it worse.]

We may have to deal with the health issues soon. [Even contemplating this was offensive to his instincts as a detective. But the truth was that there was no way they could investigate all of these murders on site before the bodies began to rot. Better to preerve the lieves of those still living.]

Well I've tried destroying them, but they simply pop up again as if nothing had happened to them. I tried taking an arm off one of them to see what would happen, but it faded away when the body did, and reappeared on it as if nothing happened. Then I tried turning them invisible, but that only worked until they would blink out of existence and then back again.

All in all... I have no idea what to do with the bodies. I don't even know if they would disappear for good if you fed them to one of the monsters.

It shouldn't be too difficult ta locate th' house. Th' town isn't that big an' there's a few land marks befer it.

We ran inta some trouble when lookin' fer more stiffs. They don't give off anymore more clues than th' last ones.

There's some type of advanced machinery that tried ta gun us down. Kazuha will eventually need medical attention, but I managed ta stop her bleeding, it wouldn't be wise fer her ta move around too much.

There was an accidental broadcast from his communicator earlier, but he never responded back.

Aaa, be careful. The fog has gotten very thick here.

From the few I've been able to inspect (Ran had not been pleased by his efforts) I think we can conclude the majority died violent deaths. But we have no clues as to the motive.

I'll get the supplies ready. It may take some time to get a doctor here in this situation.

I saw it. I've been monitoring the frequencies, but there have been no other posts from him since then.

I know.

With things as they are we wont be able ta figure out who an' why. It seems the group from the previous incident has no involvement in it, they never contacted us. Which means this is a different group from th' last one.

We might just stop by th' drug store first.

Has anyone else gone missin'? It's likely some people are actin' out in th' midst of th' panic. With so many stiffs, others might be usin' it as a cover.

Evidence of at least two groups, then.

Noted. I haven't heard anything from there.

No more posts like Adam's. There may be some people missing who didn't have the chance to post. I'm checking to see if anyone has noticed roommates or neighbors missing.

The--I've...been doing my best to not think about them.

Not thinking about them won't make them go away.

That has changed. The false illusions of bodies have been replaced with real bodies.

I realize. But it makes them being here...easier to deal with.

Interesting, perhaps I can do something about the bodies piling up then.

Someone will have to deal with them before people start getting sick.

Something needs to be done, but I don't know if anyone has made any plans.

Well that can be someone elses job! Someone who's better equipped to help with this...this mess! [ She wasn't usually one to lash out, but everything that was going on was way too much for her to deal with. ]

... Then perhaps it must fall on me to deal with this situation.

[Conan sighs. This kind of attitude was hardly new. Ran was like that too.]

I'm just a kid and I probably can't do anything. But I want to make sure that someone is thinking about it.

I suppose that's a good thing...

If these bodies don't disappear on their own, I'll gather up volunteers to help bury or burn them.

We're in need of a roll call then. It could be problematic if people start disappearin' an' their frequencies are still there.

Oh? Is everyone you know safe? I'm trying to figure out how many people are missing.

Something of the sort. No one I've spoken to so far has reported any others missing. But this is an imprecise method at best.

Deal with it how?

I see. [It grated on his sensibilities as a detective to even be considering this. Every body was evidence. But the truth was that they had neither the facilities or manpower to investigate all the corpses before it became dangerous to everyone's health.]
