First Deduction [Video]

[modernholmes]

[A small boy, no older than six or seven, is peering into the camera with a look of deep concentration. Suddenly his expression subtly shifts into a childish expression of worry.]

Ne! Ne! Is anyone there? I just found this device here, and it seems a little like a cell phone. But my phone isn't working. Isn't that strange?

Is there a police officer anywhere? At school they said I should find one if I got lost.  And I can't find Ran-neechan anywhere!

Kaitou?

*Okay the other her is now more interested in this kid.*

How did he walk on air?

That is good. I am glad to hear that little one.

Because he's a magician! But he's still a bad person for being a thief. That's why the detectives are going to catch him some day.

[He was very glad that there was no chance of that stupid thief overhearing this particular act. Probably. But he had been at a heist.

...Conan makes a mental note to check for bugs at the earliest opportunity.]

Then he shouldn't have taken the name of Kaitou if he really isn't a Kaitou.

....

Is there anything you will like to know about Discedo?

But doesn't kaitou just mean phantom thief?

[He tilts his head and makes a thoughtful noise.]

Someone told me that scientists brought us here. Why did they do that? Has anyone ever seen them?

[playwitchu]

It does, but he is no phantom thief if he can be seen so easily.

*She studies the boy in the screen, idly lifting as clawed finger to scratch at one of her scars.

That they did. No one knows why we are here, some believe that it is to fix the city and to repopulate it. There used to be a couple of them that would go out and talk to us and show themselves to us. But those that did disappeared a long time ago.

Oh? It seems you know a lot about them.

[Conan's expression doesn't change as he quickly memorizes the information. Disappearing culprits. Only some of whom had spoken to their captives. Was that a sign of dissension in the group?]

That seems like a strange thing for them to do. It must have taken a lot of work to bring so many people here.

[playwitchu]

I have been here for almost 3 years now.

And that they have as well as place chips within our bodies.

Eh? Why would they do that?
