【PROLOGUE】
My name is Harano Hitoshi, 17 years old, and currently study at Teitan High-school,Class B Year 2. Yeah, I am one of the classmates of Kudou Shinichi, known as"The Heisei Holmes" and "The Savior of Japanese Police". Itwas something happened one year ago that makes me bullied by my classmates...
【THEFIRST CASE】
CHAPTER1. The Case
In retrospect, it was one year ago, the time I was enrolled in Teitan High School.
Our Class B together with the neighbor Class A were planning a trip to Tokyo UenoPark, aiming to build the friendship between classmates. Since I was justenrolled in high school, and I had my primary school and middle school inOkutama-machi near my home (Okutama-machi is the most north-eastern part ofTokyo), there was only one acquaintance of me before the excursion.
Her name is Yukki Xialico, coming from Okutama as well, and is my neighborhoodcoincidently. We had been known each other for at least 10 years, from primaryschool to high school. The appearance of Xialico could explain the word Lolitaperfectly, long light-brown with purple clothes; her voice and behavior is alsolike a Lolita.
Oh wait, do not just conclude that I love Xialico or something, like most of thechildhood friends, I just treat Xialico as my sister, besides, I am not aLolicon of course. The girl that I fall in love at first glance is Xialico'sdeskmate Shimizu Kumo. Shimizu is not in the kind of beautiful, but quiet andelegant. I first met Shimizu when I said hello to Xialico in the new classroom,I swore in my mind that time: I would be her boyfriend in my high school life.There is no doubt that I try to be close to Shimizu via Xialico, but let ustalk about the love story later.
In addition, because Teitan High School is just a normal high school, there willbe some bad students more or less. The leaders of hoodies in my class are thesethree students: second rich Kumagaya Jiro (similar to Kudou Shinichi, andSuzuki Sonoko is the first), as well as Asuka Yuriko and Rda Isi who started tobecome hoodies in the middle school. No one knows exactly why those threebecome partners, someone guesses the reason is lack of relationship for Kumagayaand lack of money for other two. But what I know exactly is, keep away fromthem.
Finally, I should mention the leaders of hoodies in Class A, only the names: Miyamoto Fuand Fujioka Hiroshikawa.
It took more than one hour to Ueno Park by bus. When I touched the ground, I feltsomething different immediately, there was no pollution like the centre ofTokyo, the only smell here was from grass and river. I closed my eyes, gotdrunk into that feeling, until the Mr. Natsukawa said the free time started. Openingmy eyes, famous Ueno Park was just in front of me. I had visited numbers ofparks, but Ueno Park was special, making me comfortable though it was the firsttime I visited.
Although it was free time, we followed the same route in small groups. Initially, Iwanted to form group with Xialico, but when I saw her talking and laughing withShimizu, I finally decided to go alone. If Xialico and Shimizu become goodfriends, I would have better chance to chase Shimizu, nice idea. Okay, I tookout books from bag to read because there was no one accompanied me. I love toread when I am free, especially detective stories, and I respect Polo insteadof Holmes, who is the idol of Kudou Shinichi. Wandered in the path with mybook, I warmed the stories of Polo again, praying in my heart: if I could meeta case in the real life, I would solve it.
When I arrived at a fork, three children ran to me and knockout me to the ground. Ohshit!!! I stood myself again and rubbed my ass. It were three snips, one girlwith cute appearance, one boy with freckles on his face, and one boy with fatand strong body.
"Are you alright? Where are your parents" I asked.
"We are okay, my cousin takes us here, he should be drawing along the river, he isan artist." That girl answered my question.
"That's great. What are your names? And shall I take you three to your cousin?"
"I am Ayumi, they are Mitsuhiko and Genta," the girl introduced her friendsin order, "we are alright, bye~"
Three snips ran away. There was a river on my right, it seemed like that Ayumi' scousin was drawing there and let three snips have fun by theirselves.
As far as I wanted to take out my book again, a scream of woman came from myright-hand side. Oh my god, what I prayed just now had come true? I ran to thesource of scream with a sentiment of anxious and excitement, then I got to theriver side. Kudou Shinichi, Mauri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were there, the screamwas from Mauri Ran I thought, and she was still lying in her friend Sonoko.
In the river, there was a corpse!

CHAPTER 2. Deduction
The body was floating on the river with face upward and eyes closed and there seems a cut byimpact. Also there was a scratch on the face of the dead body. The dead dressedbit sloppy with a pretty modern dslr(digital single lens relflex) before hischest. I thought he might be can be either a photographer or a journalist orjust a normal tourist.
Kudou Shinichidragged the body on the bank using a branch and did some simple checkafterwards then he started shouting to Mauri Ran “He is not dead, call thepolice and ambulance!” Oh I was so sorry seems like I should not call him a“dead”. Then something drew my attention, there was an aggressive footprint onthe victim’s belly. So this was not an accident? Kudou Shinichi just proved mythoughts because accident did not need police.
This footprintseems familiar to me, I have seen this somewhere nearby. But even though Irecognized the footprint, it was extremely hard to find the murderer in such acrowd. But still I took a picture of that footprint.
Police andambulance arrived shortly and this attracted crowd surround and watch. KudouShinichi was discussing the case with an officer seems called Megure. At themoment first aid team lifted up the victim there were two women A and B yelling“That’s Mr.Takenaka!”
“You know thevictim?” the officer asked.
“Yes, he isTakenaka Kenji and he is a journalist working in the same newspaper agency withus.”
Megure said“What’s your name then?”
“I’m KitagawaYuuko. And this is Yumekon Wakako. We just hang out and happened to be here.”Said A
“Did the victimcome with you?”
“Nope, but I’mwith Wakako, he might……”Kitagawa seems hiding something.
Megure said“Please tell us the truth, Ms. Kitagawa.”
“He is chasingWakako.”
"It is right, but the problem is that I do not like him! He is just a bad youngman, though that personality does help him get some explosive news." I wasfocusing on Kitagawa just now that I ignored Yumenkon, Miss Yumenkon was sobeautiful, like a fairy.
"It seems that you have enough reason to kill the victim?" asked by Megure.
"What?"Yumenkon became quite nervous, "why? Just because this?"
Megure did not response, he then turned to Miss Kitagawa: "According the words ofMiss Yumenkon, did you have any fight or quarrel with the victim?"
Miss Kitagawa hesitated for a while, then answered: "He has borrowed my moneyfor several times, but none of them was returned. But you know I will not killhim just because of this money! By the way, it was just an accident, right?"
"Sir!"Other police officers got a young man in their hand, for which the conversationjust now was cut.
"Sir, we found stones with blood on them in the upstream of this river, and thisyoung man was just drawing beside."
"Hey! What are you doing, man?" the young man was such angry, "I was justdrawing there."
"Some case happened here, and you just happened to be in the murder scene, so we needto ask you some questions."
"Okay, okay. My name Yamamoto Naoki, artist. Since I will study aboard for severalmonths, I decided to take my sister and her friends here for fun. Look, theyare upon there."
Oh my god, they are Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta, what a coincident!
"Police uncle, why you catch my brother?" Ayumi asked with tear in her eyes.
Mr.Yamatomo touched Ayumi's head and said gently: "Ayumi, I am fine!"
Waiting here seemed to be useless now, so I decided to go upstream. There was only aneasel there, and like the police officer said before, a stone with blood wasjust lying quietly in the river. Besides, I was some footprints as well, whichwere totally different with the ones on the body of victim. In my memory, twosuspicious were wearing high-heeled shoes, which would have no such footprints.
I looked down my foot, it was a pair of Adidas shoes, with just normal pattern onthe bottom. Suddenly, I got an idea, Adidas? Maybe? I unlocked by cell phoneand started to search. Yeah, that is the evidence!
I ran back to the crowd, observing the shoes of everyone, praying the murder wasstill in the park. Oh, I found it! I turned up my head, it was him!
"The murder, is you!"

CHAPTER 3. Mistake
"The murder, is you!" I shouted with my finger pointed to Kumagaya Jiro, whichgained the focus of everyone here.
"Who are you on earth?" Megure asked me.
"Harono Hitoshi, a ordinary high-school student." I answered confidently.
"I am the murder? What the hell you talking about?" Hoody Three stared at meangrily, but I was just not afraid of them and ready to speech my deduction.
"I thought that was an accident initially, but I changed my mind since I saw thefootprints on the victim's belly. It is a mark of kick by somebody elseobviously, which means the victim was kicked into the river as well. Andfortunately, this footprint is such rare. I checked online and found that it isfrom the latest global limited shoes of Adivon, and there are only seven ofthem. So, you want have a check? Or you just gonna say that another one in thispark has the identical shoes with you?"
Kumagaya seemed embarrassed, I felt like I've already won this game. However, a voicecame: "No, he is not the murder absolutely." Oh my god, it was KudouShinichi who has disappeared for a while.
I frowned and doubted Kudou: "What wrong with my deduction?"
"Firstly, if the victim was kicked into the river, the wound would be on the back of thehead, not the forehead. More importantly, I have found some witness who can provethat Kumagaya and his friends was having conflict with Mr. Takenaka somewherefar from the spot of murder."
I became speechless, trying to struggle still: "Mumagaya might hate thevictim because of the quarrel, and then..."
"No, I should remind you that you have missed some crucial evidence, which is thescratch on the face of the victim. The wound is newly made according to itsappearance, and I have just observed along the river, without finding anypossible thing which is responsible for the scratch. As a result, I think thescratch might be there before the victim was in the river. Besides, I havenoticed that, Miss Yumekon, there trail on your finger indicating that therewas a ring before, and where it is now?"
Being called suddenly, Miss Yumekon was quite shocked: "Ring...I did not wear ittoday."
"You sure? I have checked the victim's camera, there are photos of you, all of whichshows you had your ring today. " I had a look at the photo, really, MissYumekon wore her ring today.
Kudou continued to say: "It is fine if you do not admit your crime now, I havephoned with the hospital, the victim is going to weak up. You'd better waittill that time?"
"I am sorry." Miss Yumekon began to cry, "It was just, by mistake,really. He tangle me for such a long time, so I was deciding to hang aroundwith Yukko, but I met that man again when Yukko was in toilet. I hit his faceby accident during the quarrel, and then he slipped down...."
Crying seemed to be meaningless, Miss Yumekon was cuffed by the police. The case wasperfectly solved, but not by myself, it is by "The Heisei Holmes" KudouShinichi. And this mistake, had become my nightmare for the following wholeyear. Others might just forgot the hostility sooner or later, but they arehoodies, they would not let me go like this. In retrospect, I found myself too impetuous,missing some important point when analyzing the case.
After the case, I was taken to somewhere quite by Hoody Three, infinite hit came tome with abuse in their mouth: "You think your life is too peaceful? Howdare you regard me as a murder?" "Jiro is murder? I think you littleass should be the murder." "Just let him die." The only thing Icould do at that moment was protecting my head well, protecting my fragilepart. However, the thing got worse and worse, the feel of pain caught me,gradually, finally I lost my consciousness... When I woke up again, I had no ideahow long was that sleep, But I did know I was in a big trouble. My home is in Okutama-machi,far from Tokyo centre, I do not know anyone who can help me; moreover, I am nota rich guy who is able to solve any problem by money. Desperately, I began topray the Hoody Three would set me free one day.
But of course they would not, in the following year, I was bullied by those three.Luckily, they had never bullied me in front of other classmates; others may beaware of that may be not, that is not thing I should take care of. I believedthat Kudou Shinichi surely knew about my case, but he was busy with his "career",how would he pay attention to me?
Meanwhile, in the another corner of the Tokyo city, a man and a woman sit face to face ina dark room.
"Brandy, got the killer?"
"Of course, Margarita. Here you want, foreign sniper, coded L, real name unknown. Ihave watched his introduction and video, tested him by my own, he is the one weare keeping looking for."
"Nice job. Akai Shuuichi, wait for you death!" The woman said coldly, pushingthe butt onto the picture in front of her.

【SCHOOLFIGHT BACK】
CHAPTER4. The Promise of Ran
Let‘s come back to the present, I am on the way going back to my dormitory. Since my home is relatively far, I chose to live in one of the few dormitory roomin Teitan High School. Usually, I come back home once a month, but not a single time in Grade 2.
In my first year in Teitan High School, "thanks" to The Hoody Three, I have not made any new friends here and I keep living alone in the dormitory, as a result, I have also lost my ambitions to chase Shimizu. Ask me why I am notfighting back? But how? Tell the teachers, they may just conclude that it is game between classmates; fight by myself, neither do I know anyone nor do Ihave money. I tolerate and tolerate again, because I know the worst situationis just drop out from Teitan, though I will be shamed to my parents who send meto Teitan.
Oh, no fight back yet does not mean no fight back ever, surely I will do somethingif I have chance. The problems is, I am too weak now. I have told myself numerous times: I would fight back one day, and on which day The Hoody Three will knee to me. Although I am a loser, I have determination, I have energy in my body, there is only lack of opportunity. Till now, those are just in mymind, I would not be such a fool to speak one word of them to others.
Since I do not have number of friends, I almost pay all of my attention to the study. And luckily, I have been good at chemistry and biology for my whole study life,as a consequence, I got all the full marks for those two subjects. But what's that for? I am still bullied by The Hoody Three, shit.
Suddenly, someone is coming to my front, what the hell, that is Rda Isi, isn't it? I step back a little bit, tring to avoid a new fight with them, but it seems that Kumagaya Jiro and Asuka Yuriko are coming close to me in other two directions. Of course I know exactly what they are trying to do now according to my experience in the last year, but things seems to be different here. Their followers are not with them, and they three have lots of wound on their faces.
I look around, there are indeed they three only, I quickly go through my head and have a simple analysis: though I am facing three now, they have wound which means they have just had a fight with someone else; and Kumagaya is just a rich who is not a specialist in fight; Asuka, oh damn it, she is just a hooker, not good at fight of course. Therefore, if I beat Rda, I would have huge possibility to win against they three?
I knew it in my heart that, I could suffer more fierce revenge. But this could be the only chance I am just facing three, I usually face 6 or 7 or more people, which makes me unable to do anything. After considerration for a moment, I decide to throw everything in my mind away, and just fight back this time!
After making the important decision, when I feel Rda is no longer beyond the area of my attack, I focuse all of my strength to my fist and punch Rda's face. Obviously, Rda have never thought that I would punch, the only thing he could do now is get this fist by his face. Rda fall down immediately, I won't waste this golden circumstance, the fist and kick rain down to him. The thing I should admit is that Rda have plenty experience in gighting, consequently he make the right choice to protect all of his fragile part of the body, which results my attack into nothing.
I am facing three opponents after all, I am kicked from the back and fly away in no more than 2 seconds, it is Kumagaya. I want to stand up again at once, but that hooker Asuka kick my testis! What the fuck!!! Oh, damn it, I feel like there could be nothing worse in the world at the present, what a unbearable pain!!! All the man should know how this gonna feel like, I am not going to describe this feeling anymore.
Certainly they would not just let me go freely, I find two of them are grabing me towards a pond. The time I wish to ask the reason, another of them is pushing my head into the water.
Water comes into my throat immediately, breath becomes a hard job for me now. The ear out of the water could still hear the talk of they three, such as "How dare you!!!" "Kill him!!!" "Who said I kicked somebody into the river one year ago? Now let me kill you!!!" I gradually lost my consciousness, flying to the heaven, and theere, I meet my parents, Xialico and Shimizu...
NO...I DO NOT WANT TO DIE...WHO CAN HELP ME!!!
"Stop it!!!" a beatiful voice comes into my ear, the hand pusing my head is loosing, allowing me turn up my head and breath again. I am so lucky, I am still alive here. I turn around to look at the source of that voice, it is Mauri Ran!
The Hoody Three stare at Mauri Ran for a long period, maybe a minute or two, they finally decide to leave. They might be afraid of the champion of karate tournament, plus their main force got some new wound just now.
Watching them leave, Mauri Ran hurries to me.
"You okay, Harano?"
"Thanks to god, I am alive. Why you are here, Mauri?"
"I just finish my karate association. They three are so bad, always bullying others, especially you. You have my word, I will help you if I can, or I will call Shinichi to help!!!"
