Kaoru Kazama had no objection to Eri Kisaki's suggestion.
He came here specifically to accompany Xiaolan, so naturally he tried to stay by her side as much as possible to see if he could help her regain her memory.
Moreover, Conan had mentioned before that someone was spying on Ran, and she may have seen the culprit's face.
In this dangerous situation, he naturally had an obligation to protect Ran, especially since the uncle was not around and Takagi was the only police officer responsible for looking after Ran.
Kaoru Kazama had actually reported today's incident to Inspector Megure, so he wasn't stopped.
After all, Xiaolan is very likely to know what the murderer really looks like. Even from the perspective of the case alone, this would not only help Xiaolan regain her memory, but also increase the safety of the witnesses.
Moreover, Ran was someone he had watched grow up since she was a child, and she was also a good friend of Uncle Mori, so their relationship was even stronger.
"Hey, is this really okay? Are you planning to keep pretending to be me forever?"
Finally finding an opening, Conan quickly pulled Kazama Kaoru aside and questioned her fiercely:
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your manners. You really think of yourself as a little kid. No wonder Sonoko called you a little pervert."
Kaoru Kazama slapped away Conan's groping hand, her expression one of utter disgust.
Although he got to wear men's clothing as he wished, his body didn't change. This was mainly because he was already quite flat-chested, and after using the system's magical chest wrap, he was even flatter than Hattori Heiji.
However, if you touch it now, you will definitely feel its texture.
This is just the system's twisted sense of humor; it probably hopes that Kaoru Kazama, disguised as Shinichi Kudo, will be recognized.
Despite his repeated protests, they were to no avail.
This system can stay submerged for ten days to half a month at a time, and it can even make its host completely unaware that it is a transmigrator. It is such an awesome system, you can't help but admire it.
"What? That gossipy old woman from Sonoko actually said that about me? Really... Never mind, that's not important. You still haven't answered my question. Are you really planning to keep pretending to be me? That would be very dangerous. You know, the organization's people might still be watching me around here."
Kazama Kaoru was quite pleased to hear this. The kid actually knew to worry about his safety; it seemed that all the pampering he had given him hadn't been in vain.
(Author: Is your idea of affection just about threatening with force? Salty Fish Xun: You don't understand, isn't it true that hitting is a sign of affection and scolding is a sign of love?)
"I don't care how you are, but it would be troublesome if it affected Xiaolan and Uncle."
"You ungrateful wretch, why didn't Gin poison you back then?"
Kaoru Kazama, who had just been expressing his admiration, was almost choked to death by Conan's words. He really couldn't have any expectations of him; this sly and ruthless womanizer was truly something else.
"Conan, Shinichi, Ran and I are going out. Are you two ready yet?"
Eri's voice reached the people who had come over, causing the two who were still hesitating to scramble to their feet.
I have no idea what Conan was thinking, dragging Kazama Kaoru to the bathroom to discuss such an important matter. He really has some weird tastes.
After a chaotic scene, the group finally boarded the subway to Ginza, Tokyo.
Although it wasn't rush hour, there were still quite a few people around. After all, Tokyo is the most populous city in the island nation, and the Tokyo metropolitan area covers 25% of the island's population. With the island's total population approaching 100 million, it's estimated that at least 20 million people live within the Tokyo metropolitan area.
"Conan, do you want me to carry you?"
Because there were so many people, Conan was even brought on board by the flow of people. He was squeezed in the crowd, his two little broken legs unable to reach the ground and kicking wildly. He was moved into the carriage like a product placed on a conveyor belt.
"No need, I don't like being hugged."
Conan's face stiffened. Strictly speaking, although it wasn't the first time he had experienced such crowding, it was the first time he had ever experienced it in this way, especially under the watchful eyes of his childhood friend and future mother-in-law.
Even though Xiaolan has amnesia, it is precisely because of this pure yet bewildered look in her eyes that makes you feel all the more ashamed.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and grab my clothes, or you might get pushed somewhere."
It's no exaggeration to say that Kaoru Kazama was a young woman who had never experienced anything like this before, especially when the last person was getting on the subway. There was simply no room left, but the young man calmly waited for the staff to arrive. It took three security guards more than ten minutes to squeeze him in.
This amazing scene surprisingly didn't attract much attention.
Not only were the people around him calm, but even the guy involved seemed unfazed, making Kazama Kaoru appear naive and unworldly.
Before long, the group arrived in Ginza. The main delay was getting on the train, but the subway was quite fast, and they arrived in no time.
Ginza is a major commercial district in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Known as "Asia's most expensive place," it symbolizes Japan's prosperity and is famous for its high-end shopping. It's a haven for international brands, with massive department stores lining the streets and fashionable, unique clothing everywhere – truly a shopper's paradise.
Moreover, it's not just about goods; there are also restaurants from Italy, France, Arabia, and other countries around the area, allowing people to enjoy delicious food from all over the world while walking down this street.
So this place is not only filled with a dazzling array of goods, but the streets are also filled with the aroma of food, constantly tempting the appetites of tourists. Even Kazama Kaoru, who had just eaten breakfast, couldn't help but feel a pang of hunger.
This is not only a shopping paradise but also a foodie's haven. As one of the classic representatives of modern island nation, it is considered one of the world's three major prosperous centers, along with the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York.
Eri Kisaki said she came to shop, prepared to spend a lot of money.
After all, as a lawyer, he belongs to a typical high-income group in the island nation and is naturally not short of money. In addition, he felt that he had not taken good care of his daughter, so he also had a sense of making amends.
Chapter 194 On the Social Significance of Inventing Online Shopping
"My goodness, is shopping really this tiring?"
Two hours later, Kaoru Kazama was almost unconscious.
These two women were incredibly good at shopping. In just two hours, they went in and out of at least fifteen clothing stores. Fortunately, they didn't buy much in the end, otherwise he might have had to act as their laborer.
It seems that the invention of online shopping has not only made life more convenient, but also freed the hands of men, thereby promoting the development of productivity and driving the progress of science and civilization. It can be said that its social significance is extremely profound.
"I have to say, your acting is so realistic! Did you actually study acting before?"
Conan looked at Kazama Kaoru with admiration, mainly because Kazama Kaoru perfectly portrayed the state of men's aversion to shopping, and there was not a single thing about her that seemed out of place.
"This is just me playing myself, okay? I don't like shopping. Usually, Ai and Akemi go out to buy things. I just stay at home."
Kazama Kaoru didn't have much strength left to speak; all he wanted now was to leave this place.
He swore he would never come to Ginza again; it was a nightmare.
Fortunately, the Mori mother and daughter were planning to go home, because Eri Kisaki was worried that Ran's body couldn't withstand the long hours of exertion.
This also relieved Kazama Kaoru. Otherwise, he might have really died a heroic death here. He didn't know if dying in Ginza would count as dying in the line of duty, and whether he could get some compensation for Akemi and the others.
They are now waiting for the tram in front of the station. This was Conan's insistence; he refused to take the subway no matter what. His expression is so funny it could be turned into a meme.
Exhausted and with his mind blank, Kaoru Kazama was somewhat relaxed. In addition, he was cosplaying Shinichi Kudo today, not a female anime character, so he didn't have any special abilities. Therefore, compared to his usual beastly intuition and enhanced five senses, he was just an ordinary slacker now.
He didn't even realize that someone was quietly approaching from behind. By the time he noticed, that person had already reached out their evil hands towards Xiaolan.
He grabbed Xiaolan's hand with lightning speed, but it was too late. Xiaolan was about to fall, with the tram moving right behind her.
In a flash, Kaoru Kazama activated his Sharingan trial card, disregarding the risk of exposure, and used his superhuman dynamic vision to grab Ran's wrist.
While mentally ranting, he thought that Takagi, that clueless guy, was unreliable and didn't know what he was thinking, allowing this criminal suspect to swagger close to Ran.
Conan then realized that someone was targeting Ran, but Kaoru Kazama and Ran had already irreversibly fallen towards the train.
He overlooked one problem: without the boost from Third Master's power, his physical abilities were only those of an ordinary person. To put it bluntly, he couldn't even compare to Ran, who had lost her memories of karate, since Ran's physical abilities were still there.
"Xiao Lan!"
Conan was decisive; seeing the two fall, he jumped down without hesitation. Within seconds, three people fell off the platform. If Eri Kisaki didn't realize this, she would be no different from someone who was blind.
Conan was quick-witted; seeing Kazama Kaoru grab Ran's wrist and pull her off the platform, he immediately grabbed Ran's lower body and rolled in that direction as well.
The posture is somewhat indecent, though. Because of the height difference, Conan's face is buried directly in Ran's thighs. If you didn't know better, you might think he was being indecent.
"Whoosh~whoosh"
In the original story, Conan was able to drag Ran off the tracks all by himself, something that even an adult male might not be able to do, yet he accomplished it so effortlessly, without even suffering a scratch.
As expected, the science in the Conan world is all built around Conan; he is the most unscientific existence.
"Get over here!"
Kaoru Kazama swung his wrist so hard it almost dislocated, before throwing Ran and Conan off the opposite platform. He himself landed under the train.
The tram was gradually slowing down, and the driver probably saw the person who had fallen.
After the noise subsided, all that could be heard was Eri Kisaki's heart-wrenching screams.
We're alright!
Kaoru Kazama shouted at the top of her lungs, glancing at Ran and Conan below the platform.
Ran is perfectly fine, but Conan is terribly frightened. He's currently panting heavily, his hands on the ground. He hasn't actually done much exercise; he's just really scared.
Then Ran looked at Conan with affection, and of course, she also glanced at Kaoru Kazama, which made him feel very hurt. It's true that the pirated version is not as popular as the original.
Afterwards, an ambulance arrived promptly and took all three of them to the hospital.
The real world isn't like anime. Even though Conan didn't play a major role, he was covered in injuries. Not to mention Kazama Kaoru, who was found to have a muscle strain after the check-up. If he hadn't remembered some techniques for exerting force, the combined weight of Conan and Ran, which weighs over 100 pounds, would probably have broken his wrist.
Upon hearing the news, Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori quickly rushed to the hospital.
"Takagi, I asked you to look after someone, and this is how you see them?"
The uncle looked at Xiaolan, who looked dejected, and his expression was rather unpleasant.
The external injuries weren't the main problem; the real issue was that Xiaolan was severely traumatized. Doctors diagnosed that this incident would likely pose a significant obstacle to her recovery of her memory.
"This time, we have to thank Conan and Shinichi for keeping Ran from getting hurt. If it weren't for the two of them, we don't know what would have happened to your daughter."
"Shinichi? That brat, wasn't he out investigating some case? When did he get back?"
Kogoro Mouri didn't pay attention to Eri Kisaki's tone, but was puzzled by Shinichi Kudo's appearance.
"They came this morning, probably not long after you left, in the ward across the street."
When Eri Kisaki led her people inside, they found the place empty except for a note left by Shinichi Kudo, which said that his injuries were not serious and that he had important cases to investigate, so he was discharged from the hospital.
In fact, Conan helped write the note, since Shinichi Kudo himself was there, and he didn't need to forge the handwriting.
"This child is really being ridiculous. He's injured, yet he still wants to go out and investigate some case."
"Oh right, I need to call Yukiko and ask her to find out where Shinichi is. After all, he's injured, he can't just wander around outside like that."
Eri Kisaki and Yukiko Kudo have been friends and rivals for many years. They started competing with each other back in high school, from looks and figure to husbands and children. Although they have always been competing with each other, they are also good friends and naturally keep in touch.
However, once you make a phone call, the conversation might end up somewhere else entirely. It's quite possible that people will start comparing themselves to each other and forget the purpose of the call. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.
Chapter 195 How to Master a Locked Room Murder
"Hey, I think this isn't a good idea. What if Uncle and Auntie get worried?"
"Are you afraid Xiaolan will worry?"
Kazama Kaoru said with a hint of mockery, "This guy is usually so audacious, but I didn't expect him to back down like this when he tried to sneak away."
