The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"Why are you staring at me? I'm not interested in a little brat like you. Put on your helmet right now, or I won't be able to explain to Xiaolan if something happens to you."

Conan looked at the short hair fluttering in the wind and the bright smile that shone so brightly in the sunlight, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head away, as if he were avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.

Are you alright?

Sato pointed to Kazama Kaoru's head; her short hair was flying wildly, which actually affected her eyesight, especially in this situation, and could easily impair her judgment of danger.

"It's alright, it's nothing."

Because they are on the front lines of combating crime, he and Sato cannot have long, shiny black hair like Yumi, as that would greatly hinder their operations.

So, while others might see the female detectives of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division as so dashing and spirited, it's not necessarily what they want. At least, Kaoru Kazama knows that Sato actually longs for long hair. After all, she's always had short hair since she was little, so it's understandable that she'd like to know what she would look like with long hair.

"We're almost there, so stay alert."

The armed helicopter was quite fast; he checked the time and it was only 12:45.

------------

"The Guanyue Line is just ahead!"

The pilot reported the current location, which was the route of the Heisei Limited Express.

"Okay, let's continue the search along the northward direction."

At Inspector Megure's command, the helicopter began flying north along the Guanyue Line, searching for potential sniper locations along the way.

"Boss Megure, that's the place. Look, isn't that Inspector Atobe Koichi who was kidnapped?"

Kazama Kaoru's eyes are no joke. At this moment, he had already activated the Sharingan trial card, and his super dynamic vision allowed him to see the situation below in an instant.

On the rooftop of an abandoned building, a man lies prone with a sniper rifle, while two other men stand beside him with handguns pointed at him. At the entrance to the rooftop, a woman is bound and gagged with duct tape, while a man stands next to her with a handgun pointed at her.

Upon seeing this scene, Kaoru Kazama was certain that this was the target they were looking for.

"That's right, it's Hao Yi and his girlfriend. Damn it, those men in black are holding him hostage. The situation is very dangerous."

Meanwhile, on the balcony, the man in black wearing sunglasses pointed a pistol at Officer Atobe Koichi and said:

"You should understand that if you don't do as I say, your woman will be dead."

Upon hearing this, Koichi Atobe's pupils contracted, and his lips were almost pressed into a straight line. It was clear that he was struggling internally. Looking at the actress who was almost tied up like a dumpling, his helplessness was evident. He could only turn his head and aim at his target this time.

"Move closer and draw their attention to them. Snipers, get ready. Be careful not to hurt the hostages."

"clear"

The armed helicopter swooped directly towards the group on the rooftop, whipping through the air with tremendous force, catching the thugs who were planning their sniping attack completely off guard.

"Damn it, all of you stand up and shoot there!"

Seeing his men in such a sorry state, the man who appeared to be the leader immediately opened fire on the armed helicopter in a fit of rage, the bullets sparking and clanging against the aircraft.

"Damn it, he's really arrogant."

Kazama Kaoru gripped his revolver and stood sideways at the plane's door. His elite Jonin physique allowed him to maintain his balance even as the plane shook violently, while his Sharingan's dynamic vision allowed him to clearly see the situation on the rooftop.

"Bang, bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, and the two men in black standing on the rooftop immediately clutched their wrists in pain and squatted down on the ground, their pistols falling to the ground as well.

Just as one of the men was about to painfully pick up the pistol that had fallen to the ground, Officer Koichi Atobe rushed forward and, with a beautiful flourish of the butt of his rifle, slammed it hard into the assailant's back, knocking him unconscious immediately.

"Damn it, you filthy cops, just die!"

Upon seeing this, the leader wearing sunglasses naturally realized that the sniping plan had been disrupted. Enraged, he fired several shots at Atobe Koichi in the air, but the enemy dodged them all with a few quick dodges.

"Currently there is no wind, and the position is at a mid-level horizontal angle, which is excellent."

Just as Koichi Atobe was confronting the man in sunglasses, Conan had somehow run to the hatch, still holding the seatbelt in his mouth. After spinning his high-powered sneakers, he pulled off his helmet with a quick movement and then kicked the leader of the men in sunglasses hard.

The white helmet that originally belonged to Kazama Kaoru was smashed precisely into the face of the man in sunglasses by Conan's tremendous leg strength, accompanied by a whooshing sound. With the aid of his powerful dynamic vision, Kazama Kaoru could even clearly see the entire process of the helmet slowly rolling across the man's face until it left a mark.

"Tsk tsk, that guy is really strong. I bet he's going to be disfigured."

Seeing the helmet fly off, he already knew who did it. Who else but Conan would kick things around like that?

However, today he had the opportunity to clearly witness Conan's footwork. That kind of ferocious kicking style, if he hadn't seen it on TV many times and knew Conan's accuracy, he would definitely have thought it was a kicking style that relied on brute force.

Chapter 28 Life is like...

"You wretched brat! How dare you run up to the helicopter when I wasn't looking! Do you know how much trouble you've caused Inspector Megure? You brat!"

"boom!"

"Ouch, you naughty brat, that hurts so much!"

Enraged, Kogoro Mouri threw a punch at Conan upon his return, but Conan was wearing a helmet. According to the principle of interaction of forces, the punch was bound to hurt terribly.

Even Conan was covering his mouth and chuckling, while Ran watched her father and Conan's subtle rivalry with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Kogoro Mouri can be quite childlike at times. For example, right now, he's chasing Conan around, unwilling to suffer any loss. To avoid getting beaten up, Conan has even turned on his high-performance sneakers, making him incredibly fast—even Kogoro, an adult, can't catch up.

"Honestly, that wretched brat, he's pretty fast. If I catch him, I'll give him a good beating."

After chasing for a long time without catching up, Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to give up. He hunched over, leaning on his knees and panting heavily. It seems that this lecherous old man has been thoroughly drained by alcohol and women, and he's become so weak.

"Dad, please stop chasing Conan."

Ran also conveniently sided with Kogoro Mouri, stopping him from chasing Conan, leaving the doting father with no choice but to give up.

"That thug was really unlucky this time. He was hit by the helmet that fell from the sky and knocked out. Otherwise, Inspector Atobe and his girlfriend might have been in danger."

"Conan, we really have to thank you this time."

"Hehe, hehe, it's nothing, it's all just a coincidence."

Conan continued to act cute, trying to make everyone ignore his presence, but he felt a sharp gaze that seemed to see right through him sweep over him. He turned around and saw Kazama Kaoru's stunning face. Recalling what he had seen earlier, his face couldn't help but turn red.

Actually, it wasn't Kazama Kaoru's intention. He already knew Conan inside and out, so even if Conan acted strangely, he wouldn't find it odd. In the movies, Conan would ride his skateboard around, using his superpowers to save the world, and he was already used to it.

The reason Conan has this feeling is because Kaoru Kazama still has the Sharingan activated. As the number one cheat code in the Naruto world, his sharp eyesight goes without saying. Conan has a special feeling probably because there is an ominous chakra in it, which affects people's minds.

"Alright, this matter is considered resolved. Haoyi, after you've finished dealing with this, report to the police station immediately. We need your statement before we can file a lawsuit against you."

Koichi Atobe readily agreed. The matter that Inspector Megure was referring to was his girlfriend. Although Koichi Atobe was taken hostage in this incident, his situation was relatively good. He was only being used as a sniper and was not being abused.

However, his girlfriend suffered an undeserved misfortune, and lacking strong mental fortitude, she was naturally quite frightened. For the past few days, she has been living in fear, unable to eat or sleep. When she finally relaxed, she fainted. It must have been tough for this girl.

"I reckon you'll have to explain this to your future in-laws quite a bit this time."

Inspector Megure was in a much better mood after seeing that the incident had been resolved perfectly without any casualties, and he even started joking with Koichi Atobe.

"Oh, this is really a headache. Eri has suffered a lot this time. I really don't know how to explain it to her parents. The wedding might even fall through."

Although he looked distressed, the slight curve of his lips revealed that his mood wasn't as bad as it seemed. No matter what he had been through, as long as he was safe and sound, that was all that mattered. The hardships they had gone through together had actually deepened their relationship, so it could be said that they had turned misfortune into blessing.

"Alright, now that the matter is resolved, let's call it a day. Anping, thank you so much for your help."

Inspector Megure said to the helicopter pilot, "It seems to be an acquaintance."

"It's nothing, I'm just glad everyone's alright. I'll head back now."

After the pilot named Anping gave them a thumbs up, he took Atobe Koichi and his girlfriend back to the Metropolitan Police Department in a helicopter.

"You deserve a lot of credit this time, little detective. It seems that Senior Mori has trained you very well."

Kaoru Kazama squatted down and patted Conan's head as she spoke.

"Ah, hehe, of course, but this kid is still far from being as good as me."

When Kogoro Mouri heard someone praise him, he immediately started laughing shamelessly, scratching the back of his head, even sticking out his tongue, looking extremely embarrassing.

At this moment, Conan and Ran acted in surprisingly good sync, pretending not to know Kogoro Mouri. Judging from their practiced movements, even Kaoru Kazama secretly felt sorry for Kogoro Mouri.

Xiaolan isn't even married yet, and her husband is already turning against her. It's truly frustrating that her son-in-law and daughter have such an unspoken understanding about how to dislike her.

------------

"Oh dear, another tiring day. Being a glorious people's police officer is really tough."

After dinner, Kaoru Kazama lay comfortably in the bathtub that had been filled with water. Although he had done all of this himself, without a cute little maid or childhood friend to help him prepare the bathwater, he forgot all about it after taking a bath.

"After a long day, taking a nice soak in a warm bathtub is one of life's greatest pleasures."

After arriving in the island nation, he gradually fell in love with taking baths, especially putting bubbles in the bathtub. Since he lived alone and no one cared, he would put bubbles in without restraint. However, in the island nation, only children usually do this.

"System, why have you been so quiet lately? It seems like you haven't been issuing any missions. Are you perhaps dating another system?"

With nothing else to do, Kazama Kaoru started teasing his system. But it was rather strange, as the system hadn't given him any tasks lately.

However, this doesn't affect his daily life, because apart from being forced to cross-dress, he doesn't rely on the system much, so it's not exactly a necessary cheat code for him.

Because he's gotten used to wearing women's clothing, he occasionally goes to women's clothing stores by himself. Of course, he would never admit that he's gotten used to wearing women's clothing; he's just looking for some fun under the system's coercion.

There's a saying that life is like this: since you can't resist it, you can only enjoy it. So Kazama Kaoru is doing something enjoyable right now.

Chapter 29 New Ability - Character Imitation

"Host, please do not use your filthy thoughts to speculate about the behavior of this system. This system has just been busy upgrading recently, so it has no time to issue tasks."

"Busy upgrading? I've never heard you mention this to me before?"

Kazama Kaoru found it very strange that he didn't even know his system had been upgraded. Could there be a more unreliable cheat system?

"Don't be surprised. This system has just been upgraded. What's so strange about it? This upgrade will bring you many benefits."

"Really? What are the benefits? Why don't you tell me?"

Kazama Kaoru's eyes lit up. Although he didn't have the habit of relying on his cheat ability, if his cheat ability were upgraded, his future safety would be more guaranteed, so why not?

"The main new feature in this upgrade is the character imitation function, which is a very useful ability for you."

"The ability to imitate people? What's that?"

Kazama asked in confusion. For the first time, he felt that his system was very sophisticated. It seemed that upgrading was necessary, otherwise the gap between him and other transmigrators would be too big.

After a systematic explanation, Kaoru Kazama finally understood the meaning of this function: he could imitate the appearance of female characters from various anime and thus gain their abilities.

Of course, sometimes it's not necessary to completely imitate. For example, if you want to obtain the Pirate Empress's abilities, you not only need to have the exact same hairstyle, but you also need to wear that daring and sexy outfit.

Putting aside whether he has that much talent or not, even if he did, he would never dress like that out in public. What a joke! If he dressed like that, forget about his fighting ability, he would probably die of shame.

In this case, one doesn't have to completely imitate the target's hairstyle and clothing. For example, if one changes their hairstyle to resemble that of the Empress, they can gain a certain degree of the Love-Love Fruit's power.
