The Shrunken Personality By Dhruv Shrivastava

It was late night, “Inspector!! Please finish this scene fast. My guests are waiting!!” The detective walked in. “I know the murder and I even know how the murderer killed the victim.” Everybody was frightened but only some anxious. The murderer was revealed and the mystery was untangled. “We had to rely on you again Jimmy, We were indebted to you” said Inspector Maguire (Joseph Maguire, an inspector from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District. Age: 39, Very Fat but equally intelligent and smart) “No problem…. if another difficult case comes up, feel free to call on DETECTIVE Jimmy Kudo. Listen Maguire; I wanna spread my name as an ace detective in the country.” Said the solver of the case. “Of course!! How can I forget? Hahaha.” said inspector Maguire.

Next Day.

Jimmy Kudo, (son of Yusaku Kudo, a famous mystery writer). An ace detective and a junior student at Titan High School. Age: 17 years. He also plays good soccer. “Another case solved by the high school student. His name Jimmy Kudo, we can surely call the savior of the Japanese police force.” Speaking the radios and televisions loudly in east Japan. “hahahahaha……….Ouch!!” “Hang in there Mr.” said Rachael. (Rachael Moore, Daughter of Richard Moore (a single famous detective in the OLDEN times) and a childhood friend of Jimmy with little bit of love for him. She also does Karate fighting.) “What happened?” asked Jimmy. “Oh it’s just nothing, you are trying to keep my dad away from the line of fame by giving him competition in being a detective” “Oh, what can I do? Your father didn’t solve cases since the Fifa World Cup last year”. Said Jimmy. “Anyway, Do you remember what’s tomorrow? Asked Rachael. “uh…” thinking

Jimmy. “Idiot!!, you promised to take me to Tropical Land if I won the city tournament of karate.” “Oh yah, now I remember” remembered Jimmy.

Next Day.

“Tropical Land, here we are!” said Rachael of excitement. As usual Jimmy was observing things around. “Small kids sneaking in so that they don’t have to pay, I’m glad I finished that phase. Jimmy was also telling Rachael about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes whom he admires. “You know another cool thing about Sherlock, when he met his first partner Watson, he told that Watson was a military doctor in Afghanistan just by shaking his hand.” “Jimmy come on, it’s our turn for the mystery ride.” Said Rachael. The ride had started and it was going up. “By the way, why did you agree to come out with me hmmm?” Jimmy couldn’t answer but when the slope was coming, Rachael holed his hand. The ride was as fast as possible. Then came the cave. Suddenly, there was a MURDER. The police had come as fast as possible. The head of a passenger was cut off fully through the bone.

Inspector Meguire didn’t let anybody leave. “Come on, you have to leave us, we’re busy people” said few men dressed fully in black. Jimmy thought “Why are they so eager to leave so fast. And even the cold look in his eyes.” “So, what do you think Jimmy?” asked Inspector Meguire. “Hey it’s him” everybody was shocked to see the famous detective. Jimmy solved the case but the day hadn’t ended. “One of the men in black from the roller coaster?” thought Jimmy. He thought something was wrong. “Rachael, I just have to go check up on something. Don’t worry, I’ll catch up with you later.” Rachael tried to stop him but couldn’t. She had had a feeling that she will never see him again. “Somehow, why do I feel as if I am never gonna see him again?”.

One of the men in black was doing illegal trades. Jimmy spotted that but unfortunately. The other men in black saw jimmy spying and hit him badly. The man who was trading thought to shoot him off but the other who it jimmy thought of giving him a poison that was produced by the Illegal Syndicate. “He will be our first human test. So, bye-bye detective.” Jimmy wasn’t feeling well suddenly, his body was turning hot. “My bo-body is hot an-and m-m-y bo-bo-nes are m-m-melting. I-I am gonna die.”

After a few hours, something happened. “Little boy? Are you ok?, hang in there” said a police officer. “Why is he calling me a little boy I am in high school!” thought Jimmy from the inside. The policemen took him to the police station. Jimmy didn’t understand anything. Jimmy tried to tell what happened the policemen wouldn’t believe a single word. “hahahhahaha kid, you’re young though, but you must be watching lot of mystery fantasies.” Jimmy saw himself in the mirror got a shock and started running away. ”Catch him!! Fast” shouted the police officer. Somehow Jimmy managed to escape and again saw himself in glass of a store.

“I’ve Shrunk!!, how’s that even possible????” said jimmy to himself. Jimmy went to his own house but couldn’t enter because he was too short to open the gate. So then he saw Dr. Ogasa. “Hey Dr.Ogasa” said Jimmy. “mm? who are you? asked Dr.Ogasa unknowingly. “It’s me Jimmy”. Even he wouldn’t believe him. Jimmy Tried harder. “You are Dr.Ogasa, a self-proclaimed genius who invents lame gadgets and you have hair growing on the mole in your butt!” After a hell of an explanation, Dr.Ogasa ultimately believed that the small kid was no other than Jimmy.Dr.Ogasa told him that he should keep his identity safe because if the men in black find out that the poison didn’t work and he is still alive then they’ll come to kill him again.

Rachael was searching for Jimmy. But instead, she found a little boy. After she saw him, she was confused. When she asked the boy his name, Jimmy quickly made up a psydoenym Conan Edogawa. After that, Dr.Ogasa asked Rachel if Conan could stay with her for a while. Rachael thought he was cute so she agreed. On the way, Rachel was telling Conan about what she thinks about Jimmy. Right before entering the house, Richard Moore (Age: 55 years old, He is P.I but really dumb, He is a flirt who likes Yoko Okino (pop star) He is the father of Rachel) had showed up. “Dad? What happened?” asked Rachel. Richard said that he got a client (who was rich) after a long time. Conan wanted to go and check it out so Rachel took him also. On the way Rachel introduced Conan to Richard.

“My daughter is Kidnapped” said the client. The client told everything to Richard but Conan heard everything. He found a football and started juggling the ball which made him think concertratedly when he was Jimmy. “Wow! You’re good at football Conan” appreciated Rachel.

Conan was thinking. The client had a dog. It was nice to Conan. There was a CALL from the KIDNAPPER. ”Ha-ha! Hello there daddy, you are giving a million bucks or you would have to go to your daughter’s funeral. Want to listen to your daughter?” “Daddy! Where are you? We’re somewhere near a chimney which is near by a school! Conan thought he knew where she was and took the dog and went to all the schools in the area. One more building
