<Conan POV>

Masami : Please Mr. Detective.... PLEASE FIND MY FATHER!!

Kogorou : Ye-yes....

Me, Erena and Ran stood behind old man as he sat on the couch which Masami-san in front of him on another couch. A few minutes ago, after me and Erena get back from professor's house, we saw her standing in front of the agency.

The both went up to her and invited her in. Old man than ask her of what she want and so here we are. I can see from the corner of my eyes, Erena have gone to make some drink to both old man and Masami-san. Soon after Ran follow her. I then focus back on Masami-san.

Masami : My father works away from home in Tokyo, but he's been missing for the past month. And he quit his job at the taxi company. I had the police look for him as well, but they couldn't find him.... There's no one else for me to ask Mr. Detective!

Kogorou : I understand.... Let's get started!

Masami-san then take out a photos and hand it to old man.

Masami : This is my father, Hirota Kenzou, 170 cm tall, age 48....

Kogorou : And the cat?

Masami : That's my father's pet cat, named 'Kai'.... He really likes cats. He has 3 others named 'Tei', 'Gou' and 'Ou'....

Kogorou : I see.... So he lived with some cats.... Did he have any habits?

Old man asks Masami-san as he continued asking for places, he most likely to always visit and more. I look at them from afar with a bored look.

Erena : 'A search huh.... That's not my forte....' isn't it Conan?

A voice sounded beside me making me startle out of surprise and whip my head to the side. I see Erena looking at me, grinning.

Erena : That's what you thought, right?

I was still a little out of it so I just nod. Erena then heave a sigh and flick my forehead making me wince in pain and cover it up. Sometimes I wonder how did she manage to read my thought even if I am showing a poker face. She has always managed to see through my thought and my emotions like an open book all the while for others, it's hard.

Erena : You shouldn't be too picky, you know. That is not what Sherlock Holmes would do.

Conan : Hmmm...... She's right.... Yeah, okay. I'll remember that....

I said as I give her a small smile. Her face then went red all over as she replied to me stuttering.

Erena : Huh, o-oh.... Erm, no-no p-p-problem.... Uhm.... I'm going to Ran....

Conan : Huh.... Cute.

Erena then quickly went to Ran who is carrying the tray with the drink to Masami-san and old man.

I look at Ran, Erena, old man and Masami-san when a thought suddenly came through my mind.

Conan : If he had the transmitter stuck on him, I'd be able to find him right away.

I then look at Ran.

Conan : That's it. I'll test this thing on Ran to see how well it work.

I then quietly sneak behind Ran to stuck the transmitter on her when I accidently trip because of the cable from the heater, falling on the couch Masami-san sit. I quickly stood up and laugh sheepishly when I realize that the transmitter is not with me.

I search for it only to see it stuck on Masami-san watch, but she and everyone else doesn't seem to notice it. I then see Erena glaring at me with her pocket mirror open and....
