The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

You Chengzhen is suspected not only because of his current whereabouts being unknown, but also because he has a strong motive.

However, if Nino's death was a homicide, the situation is different. The murderer might have targeted the three police officers because they had reopened the investigation into the case, which would have been a much stronger motive than that of Tomonari.

"Inspector Megure, regarding the case of Nino Yasushi's death a year ago, is the body still being kept at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

Kaoru Kazama suddenly asked this question, leaving Inspector Megure somewhat puzzled.

"I do recall that. The body was transferred to Kyoto Prefecture because of some issues. What happened?"

"A case that happened in Tokyo, but the body was transferred to Kyoto? Is this some kind of joke?"

Kazama Kaoru was puzzled. He had originally planned to use the cosplay of another female detective, Kujou Sakurako, to examine the body and see if there were any clues leading to the murderer.

However, this matter has been brought up to Kyoto. Normally, he could just take a flight there, but these are extraordinary times. The higher-ups have set up a special investigation team for this case of shooting the police officer. As a member of the team, if he goes to Kyoto without saying a word, he might be held accountable for dereliction of duty when he comes back, which would be troublesome.

Kaoru Kazama hung up the phone, and the idea was scrapped, but he kept the matter in mind.

The bodies of victims in murder cases handled by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were inexplicably transferred to Kyoto; there might actually be something going on behind the scenes.

Kazama Kaoru felt inexplicably excited, as if he had discovered some secret. It would be even better if he could expose a few of the organization's spies.

"Ring~ Ring~ Ring"

"What did you say? Xiaolan and the others are planning to go to the amusement park tomorrow? It was her own idea. Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your help."

Kaoru Kazama sighed after hanging up the phone. He really was destined to be a busybody. It was Chiba who had called, saying that because Ran was planning to go to the amusement park tomorrow, it would be easy for criminals to take advantage of the situation. So, Boss Megure decided to temporarily increase the number of people protecting Ran, and that's how Kaoru Kazama was conscripted.

Because of Takagi's poor care last time, the Mori couple still harbored some resentment, which is why they sent Kaoru Kazama to help. This would put both the Mori family and Inspector Megure at ease.

"Dorobiga Park, if I remember correctly, this should be where Ran and Kudo had their first date!"

Time flies! The 1.74-meter-tall young man, Shinichi Kudo, has gradually grown into the tiny Conan who is less than a meter tall. It really is amazing how fast time flies.

When Kaoru Kazama drove away from the apartment in front of Yasuhiro Nino, the sun was almost setting. After basking in her own happiness for a moment, Kaoru Kazama made a phone call to Conan.

After telling him about her discovery, she also inquired about his experience of spending the whole day with a beautiful woman.

As a news reporter, Tamaki Nino possesses the capable demeanor of a modern woman, coupled with her beautiful face, making her a quintessential urban beauty.

Conan naturally scoffed at this, saying that even when working with Miss World, he would never look at her directly.

In his eyes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, none of them are as pleasing to the eye as a murder case.

Perhaps this is the unique aesthetic of a famous detective; Kaoru Kazama says he can't understand it.

"I also suspected that Nino was murdered, but I didn't expect you to find the evidence so quickly. It seems you are not simple either."

What have you found over there?

After a stale and pointless exchange, Kaoru Kazama gets straight to the point, only to learn that Toshiya Odagiri had also extorted Yasushi Nino.

"The murderer shouldn't be this guy. Judging from his behavior, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who could carry out such a meticulous murder plan. Not to mention he has a police chief father, if he really killed someone, Chief Odagiri would probably have solved the case himself."

"I don't think so. Even tigers don't eat their cubs. I'm sure you've heard that. There's a possibility that Director Odagiri might have done it himself to protect his son."

Conan remains as ruthless as ever, suspecting anyone. He's probably not getting beaten up enough. If he said that to Uncle Mori, he'd definitely get a solid righteous punch.

Although I don't believe that Toshio Odagiri is also a suspect in the murder, the fact that he once blackmailed Yasushi Nino might be a breakthrough.

In the previous case file, the reason why Ninobo committed suicide was because he was sued by the patient's family for surgical error. He was in a lot of trouble with the lawsuit and faced huge compensation. He did have a motive for suicide. In addition, a suicide note was found, so the determination of suicide was made logically.

If Toshio Odagiri had also committed murder after his extortion attempt failed, then at least the deceased, Yasushi Nino, wouldn't have been drinking so casually.

He had reviewed the case files and was certain that the deceased, Yasuhiro Nino, was drinking at the time of the incident. This was confirmed by both the subsequent autopsy report and the on-site record made by the forensic department at the time.

Based on this, it can be inferred that this must be someone who could make the deceased lower their guard, allowing them to fall into a state of complete vulnerability in front of him. Based on this, it is unlikely that Toshio Odagiri committed the crime.

Thinking of this, Kaoru Kazama immediately drove back to the Metropolitan Police Department, found Nino Yasushi's file from that time, and discovered something very interesting.

Seven years ago, during an operation at Beika Yakushino Hospital, Nino Yasuie accidentally severed the wrist of a doctor who was co-directing the operation, rendering that doctor's left hand unusable. This doctor was none other than Kazato Kyosuke, the psychologist that Officer Shiratori had introduced to him at the Beika Sun Plaza Hotel.

Of course, he is also Xiaolan's attending physician now.

If someone takes away your livelihood, wouldn't you feel a little resentful?

Judging from the fact that this guy switched to becoming a psychologist, he must have been quite arrogant. After losing his left hand, he never picked up a scalpel again. It's impossible for someone like that not to harbor some resentment.

If he harbored resentment, why did he wait seven years before taking action? Could this guy be a ninja who believes in the adage "a gentleman's revenge is never too late"?

Unfortunately, the deceased's body is not here now, otherwise Kazama Kaoru really wanted to use Kujou Sakurako's ability. Corpses don't lie, and Kazama Kaoru trusts her own judgment more than hearsay and subjective speculation.

Kaoru called Akemi to tell her that she would be home late that day, and then drove straight to Beika Pharmacist Hospital.

On the train, Kaoru Kazama changed into Yosano Akiko's full outfit. In order to maximize his superpowers, he even absorbed some of her memories.

Yosano Akiko's medical ability is quite interesting; it's a medical ability that can't be effective unless the target is on the verge of death.

Therefore, she usually tortures her patients until they are on the verge of death before treating them. Although it is not out of sadistic intent, over time, it is inevitable that she will take on the characteristics of a S&M enthusiast.

Take Kaoru Kazama for example. Under the streetlights, the smile on her lips carries a hint of evil. Her demeanor is no longer cold and aloof, but rather a complex feeling that is both righteous and wicked, as if she could stab someone while smiling.

Kaoru Kazama herself noticed the change in her demeanor; this look would probably scare away the nurses at the hospital in no time.

There was no other way, so he bought a mask on the way and covered himself up completely before entering the hospital.

With that kind of look, it's a miracle that the security guard at the entrance didn't stop them.

Chapter 198

Who are you?

Yumi, who was half asleep, was suddenly awakened. When did a pervert break into the ward?

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I can't even recognize you anymore."

"You are... Xiao Xun?"

Upon hearing the voice, Miyamoto Yumi, who had been startled and assumed a fighting stance, tentatively asked.

"Nonsense, who else do you think it was? I came to see Miwako. I've had a bit of a cold recently, and I'm wearing a mask because I'm afraid of infecting her."

"How is it? Has Miwako woken up yet?"

"Not yet. The doctor said the bullet was too close to the heart, so there's probably only a 50% chance of survival."

"Is that so?"

Kazama Kaoru lowered his eyes, and the little light coming through from outside made it impossible to see his expression.

"Sharingan trial card, confirmed for use."

Kazama Kaoru muttered a word, and three black magatama instantly appeared in his scarlet pupils.

"I'm sorry, Yumi, I can only let you get some sleep for now."

The three tomoe slowly rotated, the Sharingan genjutsu was activated, and Yumi immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Does what I'm doing give off a villainous boss vibe?"

Kazama Kaoru carried Yumi to the empty hospital bed next to him before he began to reflect on how he had come to save her, but instead it had turned into a spy assassination attempt.

After attributing the cause to the Sharingan's overly evil aura, Kaoru Kazama turned his attention to Miwako, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed.

Unlike her usual energetic self, Miwako was now helpless even when she wanted to chase down criminals. With her pale face and tightly closed eyes, he realized that even the usually heroic Officer Sato could be so vulnerable.

A ghostly blue light emanated from his palm, like will-o'-the-wisps in the dead of night. If a nurse were to come in for rounds now, she would probably be terrified.

"This feeling is much better than last time, it should be enough for Sato to recover."

The effect of a complete cosplay is truly different; this is much more effective than the forced healing that resulted in insufficient milk supply last time.

The abundant supernatural power within him gave him immense confidence.

Under the glowing blue light, Sato's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, no longer as pale as before.

Kaoru Kazama kept checking the progress on the panel and adjusting the intensity of her ability from time to time.

This perfect cosplay, through the infusion of memories, allowed him to understand a little bit about the superpower of "Please Don't Die".

The main function is to promote cell metabolism and speed up the recovery process. However, due to the existence of the superpower, it does not consume the cell's own vitality and protects the cell's original lifespan.

If it were like the medical ninjutsu in the Naruto world, relentlessly squeezing the potential of the cells themselves, and given that their training method involves extracting energy from the cells, it would be strange if they didn't die young.

"Hu~~"

After treating him with bated breath for nearly ten minutes, Kazama Kaoru finally stopped. The panel showed that Sato's injuries had almost recovered, but it might still be some time before he regained consciousness.

He always retires after achieving his goals and does good deeds anonymously, but Yumi might have a headache when she wakes up tomorrow.

After all, the principle of using genjutsu is to use chakra to interfere with the mind of others, and for ordinary people, it is not as easy to recover as it is for ninjas.

If it weren't for this, he would have been willing to teach Conan how to use ninjutsu, saving Uncle Mori from suffering so much physical pain for no reason.

The thought of Conan Edogawa battling Naruto Uzumaki is incredibly exciting.

On the left, Conan strikes a pose and shouts, "There's only one truth!" On the right, Naruto Uzumaki throws a Rasengan and then starts brainwashing Conan with his talk-no-jutsu.

However, given Conan's personality, if he were to actually go to the Naruto world, he would probably be most concerned about the disappearance of the Fourth Kazekage.

In the dark of the hospital room, she changed out of Yosano Akiko's outfit and continued her Kirigiri Kyoko cosplay. In this state, she could maintain 100% calmness and discover clues that were usually overlooked, which was very helpful in solving cases.

"Hello, I'm Kazama from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. May I ask you something?"

"Officer, could something have happened at our hospital?"

The nurse was startled when Kaoru Kazama suddenly walked up to her with a police ID, but relaxed after realizing that nothing had happened.

"You're here to ask Dr. Jinye? A little boy just asked me the same question."

"The little brother you're talking about, is it the little boy with big eyes?"

"Yeah, how did you know? He even claimed to be Detective Mouri's assistant. I never imagined that the famous Kogoro Mouri would have a child as his assistant?"

I didn't realize this nurse was such a chatterbox, and the kind who's also incredibly naive and innocent.

They actually believed that such a little brat was some kind of assistant. But there was nothing they could do; Conan had a built-in brain-depressing aura. Nine times out of ten, any of our allies would proactively provide clues and information when they encountered Conan.

During on-site investigations, it's not uncommon for forensic investigators to show Conan evidence. Kazama Kaoru had already noticed this, but it was no use in bringing it up several times. It just goes to show how incredibly charming Conan is.

After learning that Conan was also there, Kaoru Kazama didn't ask any further questions.

This kid is quite skilled at extracting information, and as a child, he can easily lower his guard and learn things that adults don't.

Knowing that Conan was here, he didn't call him. Instead, he took out the tracking eye that Dr. Agasa had given him from his system space, turned it on, and unsurprisingly found a red dot nearby.

"You rascal, have you started to act like a madman since Xiaolan doesn't care about you? Why aren't you home yet, it's so late?"
