Fourteenth Deduction [Text]

[modernholmes]

[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?

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.

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

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.
