The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Uncle Mori immediately turned his attention to Conan, and judging from his eager posture, he seemed very curious to see what kind of design would be added to the big red bump on Conan's head.

"Yes, I think the information Kazama just provided is very valuable. The timer suddenly stopping midway could mean two things: either the timer malfunctioned, or the prisoner remotely controlled it to stop for some reason."

Inspector Megure stroked his chin and analyzed, "This officer with many years of experience must have some skills, otherwise he wouldn't dare to say he'd resign and become a detective."

"But why would this bomber specifically call Shinichi? Could it be that he has some personal grudge against Shinichi Kudo?"

Because Conan's initial excuse was that the bomber called Shinichi Kudo, Inspector Megure became suspicious of this.

"I think it's because Shinichi Kudo was unfaithful and had a wild life outside, which may have attracted someone's revenge."

Even while lying in the hospital bed, Kaoru Kazama couldn't stop talking. Despite her internal injuries, she didn't forget to continue mocking Shinichi Kudo. Seeing Conan's ugly expression, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Shinichi, he has a case to handle, he shouldn't do that kind of thing, right?"

Ran is a great girl in every way, except for one thing: she lacks her own opinions and is easily influenced by what others say. It's been almost three months since she last saw Shinichi Kudo, and she got nervous after Kaoru Kazama mentioned it.

"Ran, don't be so nervous. Do you think that with Shinichi Kudo's personality as a mystery fanatic, he wouldn't even have time to flirt with a beautiful childhood friend like you, let alone have time to play around with other women?"

"Sister Xiaoxun, what are you talking about? That's not how it is. He and I just grew up together, there's nothing between us. Please don't misunderstand."

Ran's face turned bright red instantly. Note that this wasn't just a small place with only a few people; almost the entire Metropolitan Police Department was crammed into this hospital room. Conan, with his thick skin, could manage, but Ran was too shy to bear it.

"Inspector Megure, according to the investigation, the criminals in the cases solved by Shinichi Kudo are still in jail."

Just as Inspector Megure finished stating his speculation, Shiratori, who was holding a small notebook and reviewing the records, said to Inspector Megure:

"They're still inside. It seems the laws in this world are quite strict."

Kaoru Kazama knew that Shinichi Kudo had already solved the first case on the plane when he went to New York two years ago. Since no one had come out yet, it was probably a murder case.

"In that case, could it be the criminal's family member or lover?"

Kogoro Mouri also offered his own guesses, but none of them were conclusive. Kaoru Kazama couldn't offer any advice, so he could only pretend not to know. He was mainly curious about the system's advanced technology and how it managed to deceive those detection methods. If he could make use of it, it would definitely be a great way to get rich.

There was nothing he could do; the system was so lazy and didn't care about its host at all, so he had to rely on himself.

"Forget about that for now. We already have a sketch of the suspect, and our police will use that sketch to search for any suspicious individuals."

"Sister Xiaoxun, come and see if our drawing looks like the real thing. It was drawn by several of us working together!"

As soon as Inspector Megure spoke, the group of mischievous kids ran to Kazama Kaoru's bedside as if they wanted to take credit, and held up a white piece of paper to show him.

"Um, this portrait has a very abstract feel to it. You guys are very talented. You can carry on the Fauvist style in the future."

Kazama Kaoru looked at the rough lines and sharp style of the painting and could hardly make out any information. She also didn't know why Inspector Megure was so confident that he could find the real suspect based on this abstract portrait.

"Inspector Megure, of all the cases Shinichi has solved in the past, which one has garnered the most public attention?"

Professor Agasa, being a researcher, naturally has a higher IQ and figured out the crux of the problem. After all, fame is a double-edged sword; once you become famous, you're bound to attract jealousy, especially since Shinichi Kudo has such a boastful and ostentatious personality. It's impossible for no one to hold a grudge against him.

"Hmm, let me think. If you put it that way, the most influential case should be the one involving Mayor Okamoto in Nishitama City."

Inspector Megure stroked his chin and recalled:

"Back then, a 25-year-old woman living in Nishitama City was hit and killed by the mayor's son while walking on the street. That should be the case."

"Wait a minute, I remember that case, the murderer wasn't the mayor's son, but the mayor himself, right?"

Fortunately, Kogoro Mouri still remembered the case, but Kaoru Kazama was very surprised. Shouldn't it be the rich kids who take the blame for their fathers? How could there be a conscientious rich kid taking the blame for his father? These days, it's really rare.

It's a pity he ran into Shinichi Kudo, his nemesis; otherwise, his father could have pulled some strings and gotten him out in a few years, or even a few months.

Kazama Kaoru's thinking is wildly imaginative, but Inspector Megure and his team are gradually getting closer to the truth, even though their goal is a bit off.

"Because of that case, Mayor Okamoto resigned in disgrace, and his long-planned new town development in Nishitama City was completely halted after the new mayor took office."

"Officer, could he be the mayor's son?"

Shiratori glanced down at his notebook and then offered his guess. Coincidentally, the mayor's son was not currently in prison, making him the natural suspect.

Chapter 93 Why was Yan born if Nan was also born?

"Children, you had close contact with that prisoner. Please think carefully about any features or details you might have missed."

Inspector Megure did not look down on the children; on the contrary, he gave them a lot of trust and encouragement.

"Well, let me think about it!"

Although all three children were assuming a thoughtful posture, Kaoru Kazama had more confidence in Mitsuhiko, who had freckles all over his face, even though these brats would seem incredibly stupid to be with Conan.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that this little boy named Mitsuhiko also has observation skills and knowledge reserves far exceeding those of children his age. It's just that he is sometimes easily misled by his own cleverness.

This is like a Conan world version of the classic "Why did Yan have to be born if Nan is already here?" If it weren't for the Conan halo overshadowing him, Kazama Kaoru thinks this little boy could actually do something.

Genta, standing to the side, tilted his head back, sweating profusely as he racked his brains but couldn't come up with anything. In the end, it was the observant Ayumi who noticed something different.

"smell?"

Ayumi's uncertain voice stunned Inspector Megure and everyone else present.

"It smells nice, could it be men's perfume? Or cologne?"

Kazama Kaoru was also a little uncertain. His only knowledge of this kind of thing came from Detective Conan, where Professor Moriarty, who appeared in the sixth movie, was a fashionable old man who used natural herbal cologne.

Besides, in his impression, perfume was generally something for women only.

"Yes, it's like the perfume my mom usually uses, but the scent is a little different. Although it's a fragrance, it's a bit strange, and it doesn't smell quite like my mom's perfume."

Children's knowledge reserves are limited, and Kazama Kaoru believed that Moriya Teiji couldn't have come out unprepared. It was really unlikely that a meticulous and intelligent criminal like him would come out so swaggeringly while spraying perfume.

He estimated that it was a smell from long-term use of cologne, and that little Ayumi's nose was too sensitive to detect even such a faint scent.

When Teiji Moriya approached these children with ulterior motives and handed them the remote-controlled airplane with the order, he certainly didn't expect that there was someone here who could rival the beauty of a police dog.

"Oh, I see. You guys, if you have any suspicious clues, just let me know."

In fact, this single piece of information was not enough to identify the culprit, but Inspector Megure said it anyway to encourage the kids.

"no problem."

The child raised his fist and shouted happily, but almost drew a scolding from the nurse.

"Alright, I think it's about time for us to go home."

The sun had already set outside the window, and the warm sunlight shone through the glass onto Kaoru's quilt, turning the white sheets orange and making him feel incredibly warm.

Although I was incredibly unlucky to be blown up by a bomb and ended up in the hospital, being able to enjoy such a beautiful sunset made it all worthwhile.

"Well, Conan, Kaoru-neechan, bye-bye, we have to go now."

Several mischievous children waved goodbye, and it was at this moment that Kaoru Kazama, sitting on the hospital bed, remembered something.

"You guys, be careful on your way home. It's rush hour now, and the subway is still very crowded. If it's crowded, don't take the subway. Taking the bus is fine too."

Kaoru Kazama gave these mischievous kids some instructions, and it's unclear whether they listened or not. They just grunted a few times and then ran off like the wind.

"Beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep"

No sooner had the kids left than Conan's cell phone rang, immediately drawing everyone's attention. Kazama Kaoru had said that it was Conan, not him, who had been in contact with the bomber.

"Who called? Was it the bomber?"

Uncle Mori's voice trembled with excitement, as if he were receiving a phone call from a long-lost relative.

Conan took his phone out of his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and his serious expression told everyone that it was exactly what they had imagined.

"Hello, who is it?"

Conan answered the phone, and a heavy voice, as if veiled, came through. Kazama Kaoru frowned as soon as he heard it, thinking that the quality of voice changers these days was too poor; it was simply an ear-polluting experience.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to actually find that bomb. You deserve a reward. But now, you brat, you can step down and call Kudo out."

Conan turned around and nodded slightly to Kogoro Mouri, then handed him the phone.

After Uncle Mori turned on the speakerphone, he placed the phone on the hospital bed so that everyone could hear the prisoner's voice.

"You're right, it's time for adults now."

Kogoro Mouri's sudden interruption made Teiji Moriya on the other side a little nervous, but he cleverly covered it up with anger.

"Who are you? Where is Shinichi Kudo?"

It seems that Teiji Moriya is quite concerned about his terminated new town project, and he is targeting Shinichi Kudo at every turn, making no attempt to hide his intentions.

"Shinichi Kudo isn't here right now, so I can handle you."

Uncle Mori may not be good at anything else, but he's a master at showing off, and he directly shut down the aggressive Teiji Moriya.

However, Moriya Teiji was no pushover either, and immediately unleashed a powerful attack:

"Hmph, whatever. Listen up, I've planted five bombs along the East Capital Ring Road!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, except for Kazama Kaoru, who was already prepared. Everyone was stunned and speechless. The news was too shocking; no one was prepared. This bomber had actually planted five bombs on the East Metropolis Ring Road.

The Toto Loop Line is the largest subway loop line near Tokyo, handling 80% of the traffic pressure within the city. This also means that these five bombs will threaten the lives of tens of millions of people in Tokyo. This is a major event that will shock the entire country. If it is not handled properly, everyone here will be in serious trouble.

He seemed to enjoy the silence, pausing deliberately before continuing:

"The bomb will detonate at 4 PM today. If the train above it travels at less than 10 kilometers per hour, the bomb will explode. Also, if it's not defused before sunset, it will explode. I'll only give you one hint: I've placed the bomb at point X on the loop line. Now it's up to you, Detective Mouri."

After making a disdainful sarcastic remark about Kogoro Mouri, the guy hung up the phone, leaving the group of people staring at each other in Kaoru Kazama's hospital room.

Inspector Megure was the first to react. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time, realizing it was already 4:50. This meant that the train on the East Metropolis Loop Line had been running for fifty minutes under the threat of five bombs, and it was a miracle that nothing had happened yet.

"Hmph, I think he's just trying to scare people. How could a place like the East Capital Ring Road be safe from bombs?"

Indeed, this place that everyone seems to walk through every day is actually very difficult for ordinary people to enter. Putting aside the question of whether you would threaten the safety of the train, your own life would be in danger.

So now Kazama Kaoru is thinking that Moriya Teiji probably had an accomplice in this case. Otherwise, how could a professor of architecture be so skilled with bombs, let alone infiltrate a place like the Tokyo Loop Line and plant five bombs? The security checks at the subway station are not just for show. There must be something fishy going on here.

"Not necessarily, I think he's serious."

Inspector Megure offered a contrasting opinion. While Uncle Mori was a detective and could be said to have little to do with the case, Inspector Megure was different. As a police officer, he was responsible for the safety of all citizens of Tokyo, and even if the bomb incident was fake, it could not be taken lightly.

Chapter 94 I Swear by the Cherry Blossom Police Badge

"Conan, call those kids and see if they've taken the subway home."

Kazama Kaoru's reminder caused Conan's expression to change drastically. He often walked home with those kids and knew they usually took the subway home. At the same time, a sense of doubt arose in his mind.

So, why did Kazama Kaoru advise them not to take the subway? Did she know about it beforehand?

Don't underestimate the imagination of a famous detective. Sometimes he's completely illogical. You've probably seen it in anime: many times, before the murderers even start doing anything, Conan has already become a suspect.
