Summary: There's a reason Shin'ichi prioritizes when solving mysteries.
Fic: Motive
Shin'ichi figured out by the time he was in junior high that what he saw wasn't real. It was more like a trick of his mind, he thought, or maybe he had just been exposed to bad supernatural detective stories when he was younger and picked up the idea there, though he didn't touch the things now. For every corpse he found, every case he was a part of, Shin'ichi could clearly see the victims in his mind's eye, reanimate and crying for vengeance or rest. Each murder he prevented was one more not-ghost he didn't have to see, and each murderer he brought to justice meant another shade passing on. Suicides were the worst, even if it was the murderer who did it, because he couldn't corner a culprit with them. As soon as he put the pieces together, victims would smile sadly and move on; as for murderers, they would cry in anguish before doing the same.
If people wondered why he took murders so seriously, why he worked so hard to see those responsible put behind bars alive, he didn't feel any desire to tell them. He knew his own motives well enough that he didn't need to share with anyone.

Scribbled this up a few months ago, when I kept thinking about the theme, "Everyone's haunted by something." Then the popular question of why Shin'ichi disregards certain basic rules when trying to solve mysteriesthe little hypocrite popped into my mind, and, well. Resistance was futile, I guess? *shrug*
