The Heisei Holmes's Other Half

The host's angry shout echoed through the room, demanding to know the identity of his wife's killer. Shinichi, with a smirk playing on his lips, turned and pointed. "YOU SIR! THE HOST!" he declared, exposing the man's faked injury and subsequent attempt to escape.
Later, waiting outside school for Ran, you spotted Shinichi engrossed in a newspaper, a small smile on your face. Ran arrived, apologizing for the delay, and you playfully teased her about her concern for Shinichi. As you walked towards him, Ran delivered a playful hit to the back of his head, scolding him about her father's lack of work.
You froze, a pale expression crossing your face as Shinichi casually dismissed Ran's father. Ran's eerie laugh sent shivers down your spine, and she punctuated her anger by punching a dent in a nearby lamp post. You and Shinichi exchanged a look of shared panic before hurrying to catch up with her.
A rolling ball stopped your progress, and after Shinichi kicked it back to the children, Ran commented on your and Shinichi's past in sports. Shinichi shivered at the thought of you being angry, causing you to chuckle, which you briefly thought made him blush. You and Shinichi bonded over your shared love for Sherlock Holmes, much to Ran's exasperation.
Shinichi's casual question about hanging out tonight brought a smile to your face, and you agreed, offering to cook and invite Professor Agasa. As you walked home, a sense of unease settled in your stomach about the upcoming trip to Tropical Land.
