Chapter 711 The Frustrated Great Detective
"Oh, so the uncles have already arrived."
When Kaoru Kazama arrived at the scene, she found that there were quite a lot of people participating in the quiz with prizes.
Especially Ran Mouri, who stands out in the crowd. Of course, besides being young and beautiful, her standout feature is mainly due to her unique hair.
The sharp corners were already reflecting light, and Kaoru Kazama, who wasn't blind, saw them immediately.
However, since she was currently using the alias Misa Uzumaki, she couldn't very well approach them and strike up a conversation. So she obediently joined the queue behind them, and also took the opportunity to see if Conan's answer was correct.
To be fair, although Conan's answers are almost impossible to be wrong due to the protagonist's halo, Kaoru Kazama actually hoped that Mori and his group would return disappointed.
Although I feel a little bad for the enthusiastic Ran, it's ultimately a good thing to have fewer incidents and to maintain peace in the island nation.
Okay, to sum it all up, it's just that Kaoru Kazama doesn't want to work overtime.
Although this area wasn't under her jurisdiction, in cases where police officers are involved, they're basically in a situation where they can't escape responsibility.
"Isn't that Officer Samezaki? I heard he retired many years ago, what's he doing here?"
Kazama Kaoru saw a man with jagged eyebrows, graying sideburns, but still sharp eyes. This guy was a legend in the police force, named Samezaki Shimaji, a very famous detective back then, but he had retired two years ago.
Speaking of this, Kaoru Kazama recalled that many capable detectives had retired over the years. In addition, the prevailing atmosphere in recent years has led to the police becoming increasingly complacent and lazy, with more and more people just waiting to die. The rising suicide rate is actually related to their careless handling of cases.
However, Kazama Kaoru was thinking about the savior of the island nation's police, a title that, frankly, was an insult to the Metropolitan Police Department.
If those people were still in the police force, putting aside the question of whether they could tolerate it or not, their experience in handling cases alone wouldn't have made it possible for Shinichi Kudo to be the savior of the police.
It's as if this 73-year-old uncle is paving the way for his own son, giving the impression that in times of scarcity, even a nobody can rise to fame.
But there's no point in talking about it now. Her superiors don't care about this, so there's no need for her to worry about it.
However, in the short time that Kazama Kaoru was lost in thought, it was already her turn to verify the answer.
She glanced at the distance and saw that Conan and the others had successfully boarded the ship, while Uncle Mori seemed to be sneaking around trying to cover something up.
This proves that Conan's answer is correct.
"That's the answer, right?"
The staff led Kaoru Kazama into a private room, behind which a red curtain was drawn, indicating that the privacy measures were quite good.
Kaoru Kazama calmly pulled out the old banknotes she had prepared beforehand, which were also the answers to this quiz.
"That's right, the correct answer. Please board the ship."
A staff member pushed open the glass door outside the cubicle, revealing the cruise ship that Kaoru Kazama had already visited.
"It really does look like they're only accommodating ten people. It's a bit of a waste to have such a big ship. I wonder whose spot I'll take away?"
Now that things have come to this, Kaoru Kazama is no longer afraid of disrupting the plot. As long as she exists, she will be like a little butterfly that keeps flapping its wings. Let alone a hurricane, she can even create a tornado. Why would she care about such a small problem?
If you keep walking forward, you'll reach the front desk where guests are assigned rooms. Right now, Uncle Mori is standing to the side chatting with Officer Samezaki, and they seem to be getting along quite well.
As for Conan, he's probably back to his old habits, leaning against a pillar with one leg up in his classic pose, looking cool.
"Since you are traveling alone, would room 114 be suitable for you?"
After a quick confirmation, the young man at the front desk took a set of keys from a cabinet behind him and handed them to Kaoru Kazama.
"Can"
Kazama Kaoru doesn't need to use chakra to change her voice this time. The Uzumaki clone's voice is different from hers. Her own voice is more neutral, perhaps due to her speaking style, and it also has a lazy feel to it.
The vortex clone's voice, on the other hand, has a distinctly mature and sophisticated feel, seemingly possessing a captivating charm.
To give an example, it's the kind of voice that can make your brain go blank with just a soft hum; in short, it's a very magnetic female voice.
Kazama Kaoru just checked and it seems that Mori and his group are staying in room 115 next door, which is a room with a double bed.
It seems the great detective will get to sleep in the same bed with Xiaolan again this time. No wonder he runs off as soon as he gets a break; the frequency of these perks is much higher than when he's at home.
"Hello, please take care of me."
Ran saw Kaoru Kazama get the key to the apartment next door, and nodded slightly to her as a greeting.
Uncle Mori was still looking around at the murals in the corridor, completely ignoring Kazama Kaoru beside him, who had changed into a new vest and whose beautiful face and super-sized figure could be ranked among the top in the Conan world.
I had a feeling that this muddle-headed old man seemed to be able to sense danger; otherwise, given his usual habits, he would probably have already revealed his true colors by now.
As for Conan, that kid has started staring at him intently now.
It wasn't for nothing that she specially brought out that black trench coat that had been gathering dust in her closet; this was exactly the effect she wanted to achieve.
This kid probably thinks he's keeping a close watch on her, but Kazama Kaoru doesn't even need to use her Kagura Mind's Eye to sense the great detective shooting daggers at her from behind.
"Little brother, it's very impolite of you to stare at a lady like that. You have to be a gentleman to win a woman's favor. This is a little trick your older sister taught you, don't forget it."
Sensing Conan's gaze, Kaoru Kazama deliberately turned around abruptly and stared at the detective, who was caught off guard and hadn't had time to look away.
Then he squatted down and rubbed his head, which felt nice to the touch.
With a mysterious smile on his face, he said the above words to the great detective.
"Conan, that's very rude of you. Apologize to this lady right now."
Ran felt that Conan was indeed staring intently at her.
Although this girl doesn't care at all when she offers benefits, she is quite clear about right and wrong when the recipient is someone else.
"I'm sorry, big sister, I didn't mean to."
Conan almost burst out laughing, but he had no choice. Seeing Ran's angry expression and the cracking sound of her fists, he could only follow his heart and apologize to Kazama Kaoru as Ran had asked.
"It's okay, I'm happy to be liked by such a cute little brother."
Kaoru Kazama waved her hand generously, her fiery red hair swaying slightly with the movement, making her look like a walking, high-definition beauty picture to onlookers.
The middle-aged man behind them, who had been exchanging passionate glances, was stunned and completely forgot about their previous conversation.
Chapter 712 Characteristics of the Immortal Body
"Miss, may I ask your surname?"
After teasing the great detective, Kaoru Kazama, in a good mood, stood up and politely asked Ran.
"Hello, my name is Ran Mouri. This is my father, Kogoro Mouri, who is also a detective. This is Conan, who is staying with us."
Kaoru Kazama chuckled upon hearing this, her charm seemingly radiating outwards once more.
However, it seemed that Xiaolan was the one receiving the smile, and she blushed slightly in its presence.
However, what Kazama Kaoru was really thinking was:
"Ran has caught the uncle's influence. Before, she always introduced Conan as her younger brother, but now she's following the uncle's example. Conan doesn't seem to like this kind of introduction."
Sure enough, when Kazama Kaoru looked down at him, he saw the other man rolling his eyes like a dead fish.
"Kogoro Mouri, is that the famous detective?"
"That's right, that's right. I am Kogoro Mouri, the most famous detective in Tokyo. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to the Mouri Detective Agency in Beika Town to find me."
The middle-aged man had been seemingly engrossed in the murals in the corridor, and only now did he notice Kazama Kaoru's disguise.
Then he came up and introduced himself very politely, and handed Kazama Kaoru a business card.
She looked down and saw that it was a plain business card with his name, contact information, and address written on it. It seemed that the man hadn't thought about putting anything fancy on the business card.
She remembered a scene where Xiaolan was saved because the uncle specially ordered a gold-plated business card.
"I have received the famous detective's promise. I hope you will be willing to give me your guidance when the time comes."
Kaoru Kazama was also very polite, because she always felt that she couldn't see through this muddle-headed uncle. Sometimes he was very shrewd, but most of the time he was a decadent old man.
He only gets serious when it comes to his wife, Eri Kisaki, which makes him seem like a typical tsundere.
Ugh, this arrogant attitude from the older man is really not cute.
Although he thought this in his heart, Kaoru Kazama did not show any unusual expression on his face.
Compared to her original form, Kaoru, she was more serious when wearing the vortex Misa disguise, in order to draw a line between herself and her equally decadent self.
Now it seems her acting skills are quite good. The suspicious detective doesn't seem to have noticed anything wrong. Of course, it's also possible that his attention was drawn to the black trench coat, and he couldn't think about Kazama Kaoru at all.
After all, he was still his teammate in terms of their positions. Given the detective's personality, he wouldn't make the mistake of associating a new person who seemed to be a member of the organization with his own teammate.
"Then I'll take my leave now, see you later."
Xiao Lan waved goodbye. After spending some time together, she still really liked this beautiful older sister.
In particular, her words and actions exude the air of a well-bred lady.
Oh, the "lady of high society" mentioned here refers to the kind of refined, aristocratic women of ancient times. As for Sonoko Suzuki, she's an exception.
Kaoru Kazama walked towards her room with a slight smile on her lips.
She was also carrying a brand new Prada bag, which she had taken from Ai's collection.
She wasn't particular about the details; the main thing was to fit the persona she was in today, so she needed some props.
As for herself, she prefers the feeling of being empty-handed and relaxed, and doesn't consider backpacks or handbags.
This ability was further amplified after the acquisition of the Divine Might Space.
However, today is a special case, so we can only be patient for a while.
After entering her assigned room, Kaoru Kazama did not immediately lie down on the bed; her long red hair emitted a faint electric light.
This is the Railgun's ability to detect electronic devices; she first needs to check if anyone has installed listening devices or anything like that here.
After all, it's a trap deliberately set by someone else; it's better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.
"Well, it seems no one has had such thoughts. That makes sense. Not only are listening devices hard to buy, but they're also ridiculously expensive. A few poor guys who have been planning to rob a bank for over twenty years and haven't even shared the loot should not have the channels or purchasing power for that."
Since arriving on this ship, Kaoru Kazama has been recalling many things intermittently.
After all, this was an early special episode of Detective Conan. The four episodes combined could make up a movie. Apart from the somewhat dazzling murder method at the time, the relatively simple motive is not hard to recall.
"what"
After confirming that the place was safe, Kaoru Kazama immediately revealed his true colors, showing his decadent and lazy nature. He lazily lay on his side on the sofa and yawned.
Staying up late and waking up early is a fatal blow to Kaoru Kazama, who has always loved to sleep in.
After all, since she transmigrated, neither the system's tasks nor her work had ever forced her to get up early.
