The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"Is this for real? It seems like my life won't be boring from now on."

Kazama Kaoru got a little excited by what the system said. As long as she imitated the other person's appearance, she could gain the other person's abilities. It was such a good thing, like picking up a cabbage for free.

Although many female anime characters wear rather unique clothing to highlight their individuality, it's fine to see them on TV, but if you wore those clothes yourself, you might feel a bit ashamed.

To put it in technical terms, it would probably feel like someone with a lot of adolescent delusions of grandeur.

"So, I can actually gain some of those people's abilities just by changing my hairstyle? If the target has multiple abilities, can I choose which one I want?"

Kazama asked a very practical question. Putting aside the psychological impact, even if he could suppress his shame, as a police officer, especially an undercover officer, he couldn't dress strangely. So, the most convenient thing to do so far was to change his hairstyle.

"Yes, this is a decision the host can make themselves; the system will provide options for the abilities."

In this respect, the system was quite understanding, which made Kazama Kaoru feel good and her cheat ability became even stronger. Anyone would be happy, right? So, Kazama Kaoru had a sweet smile on her face when she fell asleep at night. Who knows what kind of thoughts that thief who likes to break into other people's houses in the middle of the night would have if he saw it.

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

After experiencing the embarrassment of being surrounded by several middle-aged women asking if he had a boyfriend early in the morning, and after countless complaints about the system, he drove to the Metropolitan Police Department.

There's a reason why he encountered this situation. With the help of the system, he changed his hairstyle to be the same as Mikasa Ackerman, the female protagonist in Attack on Titan.

And it wasn't just because of the change in hairstyle; he was wearing a Survey Corps bodysuit, and the Wings of Freedom embroidered on the back of the vest he wore on his upper body were incredibly lifelike.

It has to be said that the system is a really good cosplayer training system. The outfit he is wearing now is not a replica, but a real costume extracted from Attack on Titan.

Such a dashing outfit and hairstyle, along with the cool and aloof temperament and eight-pack abs of the Third Master, would naturally drive these middle-aged women who like to act as matchmakers crazy. In fact, women of this age are more or less a bit of a pervert, and they like to look at pretty young girls, regardless of whether they have sons at home.

"Hey, is this Xiao Xun? Xiao Xun looks so cool today."

As soon as I stepped into the Metropolitan Police Department, I unexpectedly saw a familiar face – Yumi Miyamoto from the Traffic Division.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, Xiao Xun, why aren't you a man? You're so handsome, if you were a man I would definitely marry you."

Kazama Kaoru: "I'm a man, this damn system."

Although he was internally screaming "Holy crap!", he had to admire the sheer irresistible charm of Third Master to women. His aloof demeanor, coupled with his eight-pack abs, was irresistible to both men and women.

Seeing this, you've probably guessed it already. Kaoru Kazama is using a perfect imitation this time. Although the Survey Corps' uniform isn't very common, it won't seem strange in modern urban life. Retro denim outfits are exactly this style.

Because of the presence of US troops in Japan, American-style clothing has had a significant influence on Japanese fashion. This outfit is very similar to a retro denim jumpsuit, so people won't find it strange.

This was the first time Kaoru Kazama had used his character imitation ability, so the accuracy of the imitation was almost 100%, and he was very satisfied with the result. He had almost perfectly inherited the Third Master's ability—perfect control over his body.

He may not be able to be as omnipotent as Marvel superheroes, but his perfect control over his body elevates his power manipulation to a whole new level, and his reaction speed is also superhuman.

He was certain that if he were to play professional esports now, he could completely crush most people. After all, human potential is limitless, and this perfect control over the body would not completely lock down one's abilities; on the contrary, it would continue to increase as physical fitness improves.

Although it may not sound very impressive, its capabilities are indeed top-notch and highly practical.

If a fight were to break out now, given his strength and reaction speed, even Ran and Officer Sato combined probably couldn't beat him. However, he wouldn't target women.

"Miwako, come and see! Look, Kaoru looks so cool now, much better than those stinky men. She's practically my ideal partner. I even have the urge to fall in love with her."

Perhaps unwilling to let someone else be turned gay, Miyamoto Yumi even went to Inspector Megure's office and dragged Inspector Sato out to show her Kazama Kaoru's outfit and new hairstyle.

"What's the big deal? Don't you know? Xiao Xun has been mine for a long time. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

Even Sato, who had spent a long time with Kazama Kaoru, was taken aback when he saw his outfit.

The tight-fitting outfit perfectly accentuated Kaoru Kazama's curves, long legs, cool demeanor, and stunningly beautiful face—each feature possessing immense appeal. Even Officer Sato couldn't quite control his heartbeat.

If Officer Sato had ever lived in 21st century times, he would probably know that his current situation is that he's been charmed by Kaoru Kazama.

Chapter 30 A miraculous transformation? Or is it a dead person?

"Hey, isn't this Kazama? You look pretty cool today."

Inspector Megure suddenly spoke from behind Kaoru Kazama, Sato, and Yumi Miyamoto, who were talking.

"Hello, Officer Megure. I'm here to ask Sato something. It's work-related."

The people who were most nervous upon seeing Inspector Megure were not Sato and Kaoru Kazama, Inspector Megure's two direct subordinates, but rather Yumi Miyamoto, a female traffic officer. There was no way around it; Inspector Megure's serious personality was the natural enemy of Yumi Miyamoto's easygoing personality.

"Haha, Yumi, you're still so afraid of Inspector Megure? He's not that scary at all!"

Officer Sato laughed heartily, seemingly not having witnessed such a scene before.

"There's nothing I can do. Whenever I see Inspector Megure's serious expression, I'm reminded of my old man. Heaven knows, now every time he sees me, he asks me if I have a boyfriend, making it seem like I'm a hopeless old lady."

Miyamoto Yumi was full of resentment, it seems she had been pressured into marriage by her parents quite a bit. Inspector Sato felt the same way, and even Kaoru Kazama, the cross-dressing master, had a lot to say about it.

"So, you're already getting on in years and you don't even have a boyfriend yet. Your parents can't even find a suitable son-in-law. No wonder they're anxious."

Kazama Kaoru hit the nail on the head. To be honest, Miyamoto Yumi was also a policewoman of that caliber. In truth, who among Kazama Kaoru's colleagues wasn't like that? However, compared to Sato's dashing and heroic demeanor, a beauty like Miyamoto Yumi seemed rather ordinary.

"Relax, relax, there's always a way out. I don't believe I can't even find a boyfriend. If all else fails, there's always Xiao Xun. If my old man keeps pressuring me, I'll just drag Xiao Xun out of the closet and see what he does then."

The momentum was quite strong, but it would have been better if the protagonist had nothing to do with him. As a cross-dressing master, Kazama Kaoru would only be saddened by such words; it was like rubbing salt into his wounds.

"I am Megure, may I ask who you are?"

It looks like a call from someone they know. They're calling Inspector Megure's personal cell phone directly. It must be Kogoro Mouri's group.

However, this time it was unexpected for Kazama Kaoru. It wasn't Kogoro Mouri who called, nor was it Ran who was ordered to call. It was Conan who called. Apparently, this group of mischievous kids found a corpse while helping someone look for a cat.

"Conan, are you sure what you're seeing is real?"

Inspector Megure was a little unsure, since a child's statement would be ineffective if they were frightened.

“I’m absolutely certain that the cat we’re looking for came from that house. It was covered in blood, but it wasn’t the cat’s own blood. I climbed up the wall and saw a blood-soaked corpse inside the house. There’s no mistake about that, which is why I called you, Officer Megure.”

“Alright, in that case, Sato, Kazama, Takagi, drive to 17-3-chome, Beika Street immediately.”

"Yes."

"Inspector Megure, really, why are you so slow?"

"That's what I mean, after waiting for so long, what if something happens inside?"

"What's going on? What could possibly happen? Mitsuhiko, don't scare me like that!"

Mitsuhiko's unintentional remark immediately heightened the tension within the Junior Detective League. After all, they were just a bunch of kids, and discovering a corpse was far too terrifying for them. Fortunately, Conan didn't let them see it with their own eyes, otherwise they would have had a nightmare that night.

"Inspector Megure, you've finally arrived!"

"Conan, are you sure this is the right family?"

Inspector Megure nodded to Conan and asked:

"Yes, this is the place. I've been keeping an eye on it before you came, and no one has been coming or going."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Conan."

"Takagi, take your men and seal off this house. Anyone entering or leaving must be questioned. Chiba, go and investigate the people around here about the owner of this house, and whether he has any conflicts or hatred with others. Kazama and Sato, you two come with me."

Led by Inspector Megure, Kaoru Kazama and Sato slowly approached the room where Conan had mentioned hiding the corpse.

"Wait a minute, Conan, you said you saw the body in the bathroom, right?"

Before entering the room, Kaoru Kazama, who had been following Inspector Megure, suddenly asked Conan:

"Yes, it should be a man's corpse. Dang Hong even made a mess of the entire bathroom with bloodstains, so it shouldn't be that easy to clean it up."

"Let me take a look!"

As he spoke, Kaoru Kazama leaped up and jumped onto the top of the wall, surprising everyone present.

"Wow, that girl jumped so high! So cool!"

Ayumi's eyes sparkled; she was clearly captivated by Kaoru Kazama's appearance and behavior.

“Inspector Megure, the situation has changed. There is no body in the bathroom. Let’s apply for a search warrant first. If Conan is right, then there’s something fishy about this case.”

Kaoru Kazama, perched on the wall, easily saw the family's bathroom. Just as he had guessed, it was spotless, without a trace of blood or dirt.

When Inspector Megure called him over, Kaoru Kazama started to feel something was off. It wasn't until Conan said that a body had been found in the bathroom that he remembered that this must have been the case of the missing body.

"What? Is this true, Kazama?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure's eyes widened immediately. If someone enters a private residence without clear evidence or a search warrant, even if they are a police officer, it would be considered trespassing, and they could easily face legal trouble.

"How is that possible? How could a body suddenly disappear? That's absolutely impossible!"

The most surprised person was Conan. He was the one who discovered the body and then called Inspector Megure. It can be said that Conan was the only one who saw the body and bloodstains with his own eyes. But now he is told that the body has disappeared.

He immediately jumped onto the wall to check on the bathroom. Wearing enhanced soccer shoes, he could easily reach the wall, but it was still inferior to Kazama Kaoru's ability to jump directly onto the wall. After all, Mikasa's abilities were no joke.

However, the other police officers who witnessed this scene were clearly unable to accept it. It was understandable that Kaoru Kazama could jump that high, after all, he was a highly trained special-grade police officer, and he graduated with Sato.

But this kid jumped up there easily right under everyone's noses, which is a bit against common sense. Could it be that the wall is attractive to people? Otherwise, how could anyone jump up there?

Putting aside everyone's curiosity, Conan was stunned when he saw this. This was a real-life version of a magic trick, but this time it was a dead person.

Chapter 31 Staking the Metropolitan Police Department's Honor

"In that case, Brother Shiratori, I'll have to trouble you to go back and apply for a search warrant."

Applying for a search warrant is a very important matter within the Metropolitan Police Department, so ordinary junior officers cannot apply for it. Therefore, Inspector Megure had to ask Shiratori, who was of the same rank as him, to apply for it.

Now that Inspector Megure has arrived, he won't leave easily. Besides, although Conan is a child, he's not the kind of troublemaker who causes trouble for no reason, so his words are naturally credible.

"Then let's keep watch around this mansion for a while and wait for Brother Takagi and Brother Chiba to come and inquire about the situation."

Shiratori acted quickly; before Takagi and Chiba even arrived, Officer Shiratori had already driven back with a search warrant.

"That's good. With this search warrant, we can go in and search openly. Let's go in."

"Knock knock knock, is anyone home? This is Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. Is anyone inside?"

Although a search warrant has been obtained, it is still necessary to knock on the door. While kicking the door open is more convenient and Kaoru Kazama prefers this method, it will obviously leave Tokyo residents with the impression of violent law enforcement.

"Coming, coming! Who is it that's knocking at this hour?"

A man's voice came from inside the door. He seemed to have quite a temper, and his tone was full of resentment. Kazama Kaoru couldn't help but wonder if he had been interrupted by his group, which was why he was so angry.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, quite burly, wearing pajamas, who looked like he hadn't been out for a while.

"Police, what do you want with me? I haven't broken the law. Honestly, you cops just like to make trouble out of nothing. I don't see you working hard to fight crime."

"Sir, we have received a report that a body was found in your bathroom. We have reason to suspect you of a crime. This is a search warrant. We request to search your residence. Please cooperate, otherwise we will have no choice but to resort to force."

"Furthermore, we don't need your evaluation of our police actions. If you say anything insulting again, I can arrest you for defamation."

Kazama Kaoru's string of words clearly left the man somewhat at a loss, and his gossipy complaints ceased.
