The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

This guy's detective intuition is arguably more accurate than a woman's, and even more illogical.

"No, if Inspector Kazama was involved in this case, putting aside why he would hug the bomb and get injured and hospitalized, his act of reminding these children would be completely unnecessary."

Conan clutched his chin, deep in thought, but it was clear there was no way he could find an answer. How could Conan possibly know about such a supernatural being as a time traveler? In the end, he could only attribute it to Kazama Kaoru's keen senses.

"I'll call the person in charge of the East Metropolitan Circular Line right now and tell them not to stop any of the trains currently in operation, and to keep their speed at 70 kilometers per hour."

"Sato, go and contact the bomb squad and the suspicious items search squad. Then dispatch three armed helicopters to the East Capital Ring Road as quickly as possible, and then spread out to search for the five bombs."

Inspector Megure spoke at a pace almost as fast as the host of The Voice of China, and he kept making phone calls from the very beginning, which shows how seriously he took this incident.

“Inspector Megure, why don’t you let me go with Sato? The doctor has already checked me out, and I’m fine now. I’m just sitting here anyway, and we’re short-handed right now. I can’t just sit idly in the hospital.”

"Your task now is to rest and recuperate here. Leave the hunting of the bomber to us; you don't need to worry about it."

Before Inspector Megure could speak, Sato preemptively extinguished Kazama Kaoru's restless heart with his words.

"Yes, Kazama, you should take a good rest for a while. We will definitely resolve this incident, don't worry."

Inspector Megure was speaking to both Kazama and himself. Although it seemed like nothing on the surface, the fact that his subordinate was injured had genuinely angered Inspector Megure, and it concerned the reputation of the Metropolitan Police Department, so he had to resolve the incident no matter what.

"You're going to search for the bombs so recklessly, it's too late. The prisoner said the bombs would explode after sunset. It's already five o'clock, and the sun will set around 5:30 today. Even if all the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrive at the scene, it's impossible to find all the bombs in just half an hour."

"That's true, but are we just supposed to stay here and do nothing?"

When Uncle Mori gets anxious, his IQ really drops sharply. The bomber had already given such obvious clues, but as a detective, he didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​how to solve the problem. He really is a disgrace to his profession.

"Uncle, didn't that person just give us a hint, saying it was hidden somewhere between xx and x?"

Conan, the master of reminders, is online right on time. Although he got a big slap on the wrist from Kogoro Mouri, he still has to step in when necessary, otherwise there's no hope.

"With such a clue, who knows where it's hidden? There are so many trains on the East Capital Circular Line, we can't find it even if it's hidden somewhere, let alone five bombs."

Nothing in this world is difficult if you are willing to give up. If Kogoro Mouri understood the meaning of this saying, he would definitely take it as his motto.

"Don't be so nervous, everyone. So far, no train has been detonated, and we still have time to find the bomb."

Inspector Megure tried to comfort everyone, but it was clearly not very convincing, as he was the most nervous person in the room just now.

"Hey, is this Ayumi? Where are you guys now?"

Conan has already started using the detective armband to contact the children. Seeing this small gadget that is almost comparable to a mobile phone, Kaoru Kazama really admires Professor Agasa's ingenuity.

More importantly, although he developed many advanced technologies for Conan, apart from selling the patent for modifying the voice changer into a voice card and buying a Volkswagen Beetle, none of his inventions actually made him money. It can only be said that Shinichi Kudo is very lucky to have such a benefactor.

"We're on the subway home, Conan, is there something you need?"

"Did you see any suspicious items in the car?"

Conan didn't have high hopes when he asked this question. After all, so many adults on the bus hadn't noticed anything unusual, so what breakthrough could a group of children possibly make?

"You mentioned suspicious items. There was an announcement on the train just now. What kind of suspicious items were they?"

These children probably heard the announcement inside the train, because Inspector Megure had just called the person in charge of the Loop Line trains, instructing all trains to maintain a speed of over 60 kilometers per hour for a short period of time and not to stop. This likely caused considerable panic inside the trains.

"Conan, could it be that someone has planted something on this train that starts with the word 'bomb'?"

Mitsuhiko seemed to have vaguely heard something through the detective badge, and he asked Conan a question in return.

"Hehehe, that's not true at all, don't worry."

While Conan was trying to calm things down, Inspector Megure's loud voice, talking on the phone, was transmitted directly into the detective badge, with the word "bomb" clearly visible.

"Bombs! Bombs! Are we all going to die here today?"

Children are still children, after all. Even the gifted young detectives who have witnessed countless ways to die are just a group of seven-year-olds. Their first reaction upon hearing about the bomb is that their lives are about to be in danger.

"Listen, you will all be fine. I will find the bomb. Don't worry."

Conan's voice sounded particularly firm at this moment, and Kaoru Kazama seemed to sense a strong confidence emanating from this small figure, a confidence that also influenced the people in the room.

Despite his usual penchant for teasing Conan, Kaoru Kazama couldn't help but be captivated at this moment. That's the charm of Shinichi Kudo—that unwavering steadfastness that inspires unconditional trust.

"Kids, you will all be alright. I swear on my cherry blossom badge."

Kaoru Kazama's calm voice came through the detective badge, and the children on the other side were inexplicably calmed down by this voice, and even decided to go and look for the bomb.

Kaoru Kazama was no longer going to be a slacker. He wasn't just an observer of this world; he was a true participant. At that moment, he clearly felt that if he continued to participate in all of this with the attitude of a prophet of the plot, he might make an irreparable mistake at any time.

Chapter 95: Putting Eyes on Conan

"Before sunset, the speed cannot be less than 60 kilometers per hour. What do these two requirements have in common?"

Kazama Kaoru pretended not to understand the connection and analyzed it, actually just to remind Conan that this guy was much more reliable than Kogoro Mouri. At least he was smart and understood things immediately, so he wouldn't cause Kazama Kaoru any trouble.

"Yes, there must be some kind of connection between the two, otherwise the prisoner wouldn't have specifically pointed this out."

In fact, Conan had long sensed that this bomber was quite hostile towards him, but he didn't understand why. He could only guess that it was one of the prisoners he had arrested, or their relatives.

"Shiratori, immediately investigate where the son of the former mayor of Nishitama City is and what he has been doing lately. Make sure you find out as soon as possible, and treat him as the prime suspect for now."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shiratori nodded and turned to leave the ward, leaving only Kaoru Kazama on the bed, Inspector Megure, and Mori's group staring at each other.

"What do you think this means?"

Although the uncle couldn't come up with anything, he still pretended to be thinking hard. Regardless of his reasoning ability, he at least acted like a very mature detective.

"Alright, the Junior Detective Team, let's go!"

I have no idea what kind of peculiar thought process these kids have, that they went from being worried and scared at the beginning to being excitedly searching for bombs. I have no idea what they were thinking.

"You guys, don't be impulsive, hey."

Conan had just wanted to tell the Junior Detective League kids not to act impulsively, but because the train entering the tunnel blocked the radio waves, he couldn't receive any messages from them after that.

"Conan, nothing will happen to them for now, as long as the car stays at a speed above 60 kilometers per hour."

"Inspector Megure, I think I know where the bomb is?"

Kazama Kaoru's words stunned everyone in the room. The Xiao Clan hadn't even started their bomb disposal operation yet, and Kazama Kaoru was already saying that she knew the location of the bomb.

"Inspector Megure, the bomb should be located between the railway tracks."

Kaoru Kazama's resolute words eased some of the doubts in the others' hearts.

"Kazama, why are you so sure? You have to understand that this concerns the lives and safety of tens of millions of people. We can't just jump to conclusions."

Inspector Megure looked serious. He had just finished a phone call with the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters. This was a big matter that required joint coordination from higher-ups; it was beyond the scope of a mere inspector like himself.

"Think about it, the prisoner's clue is xx of x, right? Even if this is a clue, it is also a trap, because there are just too many options that meet the conditions. So the real key is actually the conditions that trigger the explosion."

"The conditions for triggering the explosion, do you mean the train's speed cannot be lower than sixty kilograms?"

Conan realized it immediately; in fact, he had been thinking about this question just now, but Kazama Kaoru beat him to it.

"Yes, but that's not all. The second detonation condition, which is that they will explode after sunset, has revealed the detonation method of these five bombs: photosensitive detonation."

"Photosensitive detonation?"

Now everyone in the room, including Conan, became a broken record. However, Conan was surprised by Kazama Kaoru's reasoning, because he himself had not thought of this aspect.

"Think about it, why is there a speed limit for trains? It's obvious that the bombs with light-sensitive detonation are installed on the tracks. The setting is that they will detonate within a few seconds when they are not light-sensitive. When the train passes over the tracks at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, it happens to be within the detonation time range, so it will not cause an explosion."

"Oh, I see. So, those five bombs must have been planted on the railway tracks."

"As expected of Inspector Kazama, your reasoning is truly brilliant."

Kogoro Mouri was just posing with his chin in hand, but in the blink of an eye he started complimenting Kaoru Kazama. It's only because Kaoru Kazama is good-looking that he'd be lucky to get a decent look from those high school detectives.

"I'll contact headquarters right now and have them search for the bomb. Your job now is to get some rest. You don't need to worry about the bomber."

After Inspector Megure finished speaking, he strode out of the ward, and also called Kogoro Mouri along with him.

"Ran, why don't you and Conan stay here and take care of Inspector Kazama?"

Kogoro Mouri, of course, didn't want to bring two burdens along, so he found a perfectly legitimate reason to leave them here. Ran, of course, didn't care, and in fact, she was even less willing to run around. The most important thing was Conan.

Such a patient with advanced, severe deductive reasoning cancer is absolutely incapable of staying away from Anakin. Asking him to leave the center of the investigation at this point is worse than simply sending him to his death.

"Uncle, can I come along too? Please take me with you."

In order to get firsthand information about the case's progress, Conan abandoned all his principles.

"It's alright, Mr. Mori. You can let Conan come along. Ran can stay with me."

"Alright, you brat, if you dare to cause me trouble, I'll teach you a lesson."

Since Kazama Kaoru had already said so, even if Kogoro Mouri was unwilling, he had to give him face. So, Conan followed Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure to the Metropolitan Police Department as he wished, leaving only Kazama Kaoru and Ran Mouri in the ward.

"I'll peel an apple for you."

Ran Mouri is indeed the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother. Once she sits down, she can't stay still. She picked up an apple from the fruit basket and started peeling it. Her technique is not bad, much better than Kaoru Kazama's.

"Thank you for your help, Xiaolan."

"Xiao Xun, I haven't thanked you yet for saving Conan. If it weren't for you, he would probably be the one lying in the hospital this time."

Hearing this, Kaoru Kazama's eyelids twitched violently. Could Ran also be a time traveler? After all, in the original story, it was Conan lying in the hospital.

"It's nothing. Conan is quite smart and cute, but sometimes his judgment of danger is too weak. Ran, you have to keep a close eye on him, otherwise he might get involved in a crime at any time."

Conan, who was happily heading to the Metropolitan Police Department, had no idea that Kaoru Kazama, lying in the hospital, was trying to sow discord between him and his childhood friend.

"Yes, that's true. This kid is such a handful. I'll definitely have to give him a good talking to next time."

Actually, Ran didn't really know the plot. It was just that because of her sensitive personality and her love for Conan, she understood Conan's character very well and knew that Conan would definitely not stand idly by in this kind of situation.

Chapter 96

Having received the correct instructions, the police acted swiftly, successfully dismantling all the bombs on the tracks just twenty minutes before sunset.

At the same time, on Kazama Kaoru's advice, they even dispatched the most advanced military drone to date, hoping to capture the prisoner's appearance.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the distance being too great to monitor, the three high-tech drones simultaneously filmed from all 360 degrees without any blind spots, yet they still couldn't find any trace of the suspect.

Of course, Kaoru Kazama probably also benefited from the children's abstract drawing style. It would be strange if he could find the suspect by comparing such wild portraits.

Let Inspector Megure and his team worry about finding the suspect. It's also thanks to this bomb that Kaoru Kazama was able to relax in the hospital while he was so busy with work, which made him feel quite happy.

"Xiao Xun, is this really okay? You should rest properly now so you can recover faster."

Ran looked at Kaoru Kazama sitting opposite her with a worried expression. The background was a coffee shop playing soothing music, and the three people in the picture were Ran, Sonoko, and Kaoru Kazama.
