[Documents from Conan's world in the library!]
This is just a quick list of any documents that people with a particular interest in Conan might be able to find.
Newspapers.
It shouldn't take much searching to bring up a Japanese newspaper in which Mouri Kogorou, or 'Sleeping Kogorou' as he's more famously known, appears. He's really famous in this version of Japan, and as barely a week goes by without a high-profile case, he's in the news a lot.
Conan came to Asgard mid-case, so the most recent newspaper story should be about an apparent suicide following a hostage situation in Mouri's detective office. Once you've found that, if you stick to that newspaper and work backwards you'll pull up Mouri's cases quite regularly -- and even a few stories detailing Conan's exploits, usually against The Kaitou Kid, a gentleman theif.
If you keep going back, back, back, you'll see that Mouri's rise to fame has taken place in just under a year -- and there's a couple of mentions of 'Mouri Kogorou, a private detective', without the nickname, then nothing, then the newspapers report the cases of one Kudou Shinichi instead.
[!]You'd have to be really, really, suspicious and dedicated to get that far, so please contact me if you want your character to be aware of Shinichi, please? I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but it's no fun for me if it happens too quickly, you know? I want there to be CR and gradual plot development!
But if you've made it as far as Kudou Shinichi, you might decide to try looking up 'Kudou' in the library as a whole -- and you'll discover:
Novels.
Kudou Yuusaku -- mystery writer! He's most well known for his novels detailing the exploits of anti-hero The Knight Baron, a dramatic and dark masked character! The novels are hugely popular, and Yuusaku's very intelligent, so it's safe to assume they're original, clever and well-written. There is a picture of the author in the back cover, wearing a very familiar pair of glasses.
If you want any further info on any of this, please let me know! I will be happy to oblige.
