The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Kaoru Kazama's sudden appearance didn't surprise Conan too much. The kid was focused on the case and his ability to react to the outside world had dropped a notch.

"The smell of disinfectant... You just went to see Officer Sato, didn't you?"

Conan's nose is really sharp; he deduced Kazama Kaoru's whereabouts just by smell.

"Yes, Miwako still hasn't woken up. If I find that murderer, I'll definitely make him experience what springtime warmth is like."

Hearing Kazama Kaoru's sinister tone, Conan shuddered. He felt as if he had just hallucinated, as if lightning had just flashed on Kazama Kaoru's bangs.

Then he shook his head and laughed, saying, "How could such a thing happen?"

Actually, this is a phenomenon caused by Misaka Mikoto's ability gradually merging with Kazama Kaoru's. The longer she uses it, the easier it is to merge with her ability, just like Mikasa Ackerman's physique before.

However, all of this is based on wearing women's clothing. If one wears men's clothing, all abilities will disappear.

After learning the details of the conflict between Kazato Kyosuke and Niino Yasushi from Conan, Kazama Kaoru couldn't help but become suspicious of Kazato Kyosuke.

There's no other reason than that this person is Xiaolan's attending physician, so if he wanted to make a move, no one would be more convenient than him.

"To be honest, Kyosuke Kazato had a good enough motive to kill Yasushi Jinno. If he is the murderer, then it would be impossible to guard against him."

“That’s right. Now I’ve figured out how to fire a gun without any smoke reaction. This makes everyone present at the time a suspect, including this person.”

"If that's the case, then Yu Chengzhen is very likely a target he's using to cover his tracks, so he can carry out his murder plan without attracting the attention of the police."

"That's true, but I remember that Kyosuke Kazato is a right-handed person who is right-handed?"

Conan was still bothered by the fact that he was left-handed, so Kaoru Kazama told him what he had found out before about Conan being known as the "Golden Left Hand of Surgery."

“This guy has been left-handed from the beginning. If he really is the murderer, then it’s possible that he deliberately used his left hand to deceive you.”

After discussing it for a while, Kaoru Kazama sent Conan back home.

Good heavens, it's already 11 o'clock, and they're still out fooling around. If Xiaolan regains her memory, she'll definitely settle scores with them later.

Chapter 199 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump

Kazama Kaoru got up very early again the next day, which was a disaster for her, as she was used to sleeping in.

But there was nothing he could do; he had to protect Xiaolan, so he couldn't arrive later than everyone else.

When I went to replace Chiba early this morning, I could clearly see two big dark circles under my eyes.

Chiba has really been working hard lately, but instead of losing weight, he's actually gained weight. It's all because he can't control himself at night and always eats junk food.

Of course, this information was provided by Miike Naeko. This girl has already devoted her whole heart to Chiba. To put it bluntly, she's practically throwing herself at a pig.

After marveling at the dating views of modern young men and women, Kaoru Kazama went upstairs to the second floor and knocked on the door of the detective agency.

"Xiao Xun, why did you come so early? I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

The person who opened the door was Eri, dressed in casual home clothes. She looked less shrewd and capable than the legal queen, and more gentle and virtuous.

"It's nothing. Xiaolan's safety is the most important thing. I also hope that the murderer can be caught as soon as possible."

"By the way, Xiaoxun, have you had breakfast? Would you like to eat something here?"

"I already ate before I left, so it won't bother you."

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Kazama immediately became extremely alert.

This is not something to be agreed to lightly; at least it cannot be attempted before the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is fully mastered.

After much persuasion, Kaoru finally refused to try the dish that Eri had carefully prepared. Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Ran had finished eating and was changing clothes in the house.

Although she has lost her memory, she hasn't forgotten common sense about life, so she doesn't need anyone's help with this small matter.

"Hey, where's Conan? Isn't he going with them?"

After sitting in the house for a while, Kaoru Kazama noticed that Conan was nowhere to be seen and asked in confusion.

"Ran said she didn't want Conan to know about this, since he risked his life to save her last time, so she didn't tell him this time. He ran out early this morning. Kids are so energetic, but we really have to thank him."

Unlike the older man, Eri Kisaki quite likes Conan. It seems that Conan has toned down his "famous detective" behavior while she's been at home these past few days.

"That child is indeed quite clever and cares a lot about Xiaolan. I remember when I was chatting with him before, he said that he wanted to marry Sister Xiaolan when he grew up."

The biggest difference between Conan and other children is that he lacks the innocent expression of attraction to the opposite sex.

I believe many of us have had this experience when we were young: seeing a pretty older sister and saying that we would marry her when we grow up. It's just a way for children to express their affection.

Today, Kaoru Kazama kindly helped Conan make up for this shortcoming. Eri Kisaki didn't react much after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said that if the age gap between the two was too big, she would really consider Conan as her son-in-law.

Women are all the same; they love to gossip when they have nothing to do, even shrewd legal queens are no different.

Anyway, you get used to messing with Conan and stuff like that.

Half an hour later, Xiaolan finally came out of her bedroom.

She wore a buckled vest over a red T-shirt, exuding youthful energy, and paired it with super short shorts that completely exposed her long, slender legs. She completed the look with a pair of red sneakers, making her an instant head-turner on the street.

Dorobiga Park isn't far from here, otherwise Shinichi Kudo and Ran wouldn't have chosen such a place for their first date.

But time flies, things change, and this time the person accompanying her is not her childhood sweetheart.

“I remember, I’ve been to this place before.”

As soon as Xiaolan entered the park, she stared blankly at the largest attraction—the roller coaster—looking thoughtful.

"I remember that Shinichi once solved the roller coaster murder case here."

Upon hearing Ran's words, Uncle Mori stroked his chin and recalled.

Because Eri Kisaki had to work temporarily, Ran was accompanied by her uncle on this trip to Dorobiga Park. In addition to Sonoko, Professor Agasa and those three mischievous kids also came along.

"In that case, let's go sit down and see."

Sonoko pulled Ran and Uncle Mori onto the roller coaster. Since Uncle Mori was still thinking, she subconsciously followed him on. Half a minute later, a loud tenor voice rose and fell with the roller coaster.

Kaoru Kazama, who was standing nearby, felt a chill for the uncle. For someone with a fear of heights, riding a roller coaster is like torture on earth.

Sure enough, the uncle looked terrible after coming down, collapsing onto a park bench and panting heavily like a water buffalo.

Kaoru Kazama and Takagi protected Ran from the open and the shadows respectively. The other children also pretended to protect Ran, holding toys, which was a good thing since Ran had always been so kind to them.

"Xiao Lan, are you thirsty? I'll go buy you a drink."

After a roller coaster ride, not only was her heart pounding, but she was also parched. Sonoko volunteered to buy drinks, but all that was left on the seats was a half-dead middle-aged man and Ran, who was deep in thought.

It was precisely at this time of lowest vigilance that Kaoru Kazama increased his guard. Sure enough, a person dressed as a squirrel mascot distributing balloons nearby, upon seeing this scene, strangely let go of the balloons in his hand and dragged his heavy body step by step toward Ran.

Upon seeing this, Kaoru Kazama immediately approached Ran and simultaneously used the radio to tell Takagi to take immediate action.

The man was about to reach Ran, but when he saw Takagi rushing towards him, he turned and ran, which only increased his suspicion.

That's how the police are. If you cooperate with the questioning and investigation, you might be fine. But if you're scared and try to run away, you'll definitely be taken back for a thorough investigation, and you might even end up in handcuffs.

It's a classic case of "I won't chase you if you don't run, but the more you run, the more I chase."

"stop!"

Startled by Kazama Kaoru's sudden appearance, the guy panicked and tried to escape in a different direction.

Kazama Kaoru wasn't about to let the suspect slip away. He quickly approached, grabbed the suspect's elbow, twisted it hard behind his back, and then slammed it into him with his knee.

Then I heard the other person stumble from the impact, fall to their knees, and almost faint.

"Behave yourself, Takagi, search him."

At this moment, Takagi caught up, took off his mask, and found that it was his old acquaintance, Tomoki. He then pulled out a knife from his pocket, which confirmed his suspicion.

Kazama Kaoru's control turned into an arrest, and he pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his lower back:

"I am now arresting you on charges of attempted murder."

After saying that, he snapped the handcuffs shut and then escorted Tomonari Makoto to the Metropolitan Police Department with Takagi.

"Takagi, please take him to the Metropolitan Police Department. I have some other things to attend to."

After handcuffing Tomonari to the car, Kaoru Kazama gave Takagi some instructions and then left.

He was puzzled. He had originally thought that he would catch Kazato Kyosuke, since according to the reasoning, this guy also had a motive for the crime. He thought that Tomonari Makoto might be a target pushed out by the real culprit. Who knew that this time he would approach Ran with a knife.

In such a tense moment, it can be said that the suspect's crime has been directly confirmed.

"This doesn't make sense. How could it be him? If that's the case, how do you explain Nino Yasushi's death?"

"Beep beep beep, Conan, where are you right now?"

"I'm at Beika Pharmacist Clinic. I just called the Mouri Detective Agency and no one was there. What happened? Where did you guys go?"

Conan knows that Kaoru Kazama is also protecting Ran. Although he is often tricked by her, he is quite confident in her abilities.

"Ran went to Dorobiga Park. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry, but we just caught Tomonari there, who was approaching Ran with a knife. I feel something's not right. If we follow the clues we found at the hospital last night, the culprit is more likely to be Kyosuke Kazato. If you're at the hospital, keep an eye on Kyosuke Kazato's movements. I suspect we might have arrested the wrong person."

Modern law emphasizes evidence, which sometimes prevents wrongful convictions, but sometimes allows the real culprit to escape justice.

Although he could summon Kyosuke Kazato for questioning, the maximum time would be 48 hours, and he couldn't take any coercive measures. If the other party applied for a defense lawyer, the Metropolitan Police Department would suffer if there was insufficient evidence, and it would also be easy to alert the suspect.

That's why things are so complicated now. If they really alert him, they don't know when he'll strike again, and they can't keep an eye on Xiaolan all the time.

Rather than doing that, it's better to take the initiative and wait for the prey to come to us.

Based on the frequency of his previous spying, and given his convenience as Xiaolan's attending physician, he should have known very well that it wouldn't be difficult for Xiaolan to regain her memories, which is why he acted in such a hurry.

Moreover, Eri had told him beforehand that this trip to the park was not only to help Ran relax, but also to let her see if she could regain her memories by visiting places she had been before.

If Kazeto really is the culprit, then he couldn't possibly be sitting idly by waiting for Ran to regain her memories.

Thinking of this, Kaoru Kazama turned around and went back to Dorobiga Park. The uncle and Takagi had already left, which was the time when the defenses were at their weakest. In addition, knowing that the culprit was likely someone else, he was even less likely to leave.

He had previously told Conan on the phone to check if Kyosuke Kazato was still in the hospital and, if possible, to monitor his movements.

But Conan just sent me a text message saying that the other party is no longer at the hospital, which means that he may choose to make his move on Ran tonight.

He had asked the nurses and learned that today was supposed to be Kyosuke Kazato's shift, but he had taken leave due to unforeseen circumstances.

Nothing is more urgent than exposing the murderer's identity. After receiving Conan's text message, Kaoru Kazama became even more certain of his previous guess.

Kyosuke Kazato will definitely come to Dorobiga Park tonight; all he has to do is wait for him.

Chapter 200 The electric light dancing at your fingertips is my undying faith.

I glanced at the time and realized it was already 7:30, and the park was gradually getting more crowded.
