The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Kaoru Kazama's senses are truly remarkable, and Professor Agasa's voice wasn't exactly quiet just now. He began to feel sorry for Conan; his best friend and close confidant had no sense of propriety, no wonder his identity was exposed.

"Professor Agasa, you're too kind. I've heard that Conan's ingenious gadgets were all invented by you. That kid has helped our police solve a lot of trouble."

"Really? This child has loved playing detective games since he was little. I'm sorry to have troubled you. Please come visit sometime. Those children often come over too."

It seemed that Professor Agasa had something else to do, and after chatting with Kaoru Kazama for a few words, he waved goodbye.

Professor Agasa seemed to have turned into a restaurant. After all, he was a bachelor, and no one cooked at home. As a scientist, he naturally wouldn't know how to cook. In fact, before Ai Haibara came to Professor Agasa's house, he usually ate out at restaurants.

Kaoru Kazama, on the other hand, realized that he had been in the Conan world for several months and still hadn't met Professor Agasa, a rather important supporting character, which was quite strange.

"What are you doing here? Did something happen?"

Kaoru Kazama saw the Junior Detective League kids standing on the street, all looking panicked, as if something had happened.

Conan was looking around when he saw Kazama Kaoru and his eyes lit up. He immediately found his target, and that bright look gave Kazama Kaoru an ominous feeling.

"Sister Xiaoxun, a kidnapping has just happened here. The two members of the popular singing group Two Mix have been kidnapped by the people in that car. Sister Xiaoxun, please notify Inspector Megure immediately."

"What? A kidnapping has happened? Okay, don't worry, I'll notify Inspector Megure and the others right away. By the way, Conan, did you see the license plate of that car just now?"

While on the phone, Kaoru Kazama asked Conan for details of the kidnapping that had just occurred. At this point, she had no time to think about her ominous premonition, since it had already come true anyway.

"I have to avoid this kid next time I take a vacation, otherwise forget about it."

Kaoru Kazama muttered to herself as she made the phone call, clearly harboring deep resentment.

"Well, because the kidnapping happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to check the license plate number."

"You guys wait here for a bit. They'll probably ask you about the kidnapping later, since you were witnesses."

After briefly reporting the situation to Inspector Megure, Kaoru Kazama took the children to the restaurant and asked them about the case, intending to learn more about it first.

What are you all doing here?

Kazama Kaoru was speechless. These guys really seemed to run into cases wherever they went. Could it be considered that Twomix had suffered an undeserved misfortune this time?

"It's because we ran into Minami Takayama from Two Mix on the street and recognized her that she treated us to a meal."

Yuan Tai answered in a proud tone, seemingly quite proud to have gotten this meal for free.

"She truly deserves the title of foodie; she never forgets to eat, no matter where she goes."

"Then how did the kidnapping happen? How did you all suddenly appear?"

Kazama Kaoru hadn't forgotten that when she first saw these kids, they were standing on the street shouting at a car, attracting everyone's attention. If Kazama Kaoru hadn't brought them in, they probably would have attracted a crowd.

"Oh, it's like this. At first, Takayama-nee received a call from another male member of the group, and she even ran out to answer it. Then, for some reason, she walked to the car parked on the street, and then two men came out and kidnapped Minami-nee. It looked like they were holding guns."

"Armed kidnapping? Looks like this is a pretty serious problem."

"Kazama, how is the situation?"

Just then, Inspector Megure arrived at the restaurant where Kaoru Kazama was. Luckily, Kazama had chosen a private room beforehand to question him; otherwise, the Metropolitan Police Department might have ruined the restaurant owner's business that day.

"Yes, Conan and the others were the witnesses at the beginning of this kidnapping case. I have already asked them about the basic situation. Here is the record. Please take a look."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Kazama. Also, Takagi, go and get the surveillance footage from this interface. Sato, go and find some other eyewitnesses."

"Yes"

Takagi and Sato quickly left the restaurant to search for CCTV footage and eyewitnesses.

Who are these people?

Kazama Kaoru then noticed that Inspector Megure had brought not only Takagi and Sato, but also two unfamiliar men.

"Oh, this is the person in charge of the martial arts dojo where Two Mix is ​​holding this concert. They just received a call from the criminal, but the request was very strange. He asked them to call the police."

"What? You kidnapped Two Mix not for extortion, but to get you to call the police? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Kaoru Kazama looked at the two men suspiciously. This request was really strange. Were they eager to be arrested?

“It’s true. At first we thought it was a joke, but after we tried calling the number we couldn’t reach, we decided to ask the police for help.”

"If the kidnapping wasn't for money, then what was it for? Could it be because of a personal grudge against Two Mix?"

"Manager, by the way, Inspector Megure, quickly contact the group's manager. If it's a personal grudge, their manager should know about it."

"Yes, that's right. Since the prisoner didn't mention money, it can only be a personal grudge."

"Brother Shiratori, quickly contact the manager of the Two Mix group and bring him here."

"Yes!"

Fortunately, this was just a kidnapping case and no body was found, because Inspector Megure did not cordon off the scene or bring in forensic personnel to investigate. Otherwise, the restaurant owner would not be able to do business today.

"I wonder if the boss's business will be affected by this, and he'll put these kids on a blacklist?"

"Inspector Megure, the manager of the Two Mix group has arrived."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Brother Shiratori."

This is a man wearing sunglasses and with medium-length hair. He looks more like a musician than a manager, but he looks flustered and pale, indicating that he has been quite frightened.

"Mr. Agent, did Ms. Takayama leave alone this afternoon?"

Inspector Megure asked, while taking notes in his police handbook:

"Yes, because he hadn't been able to contact Nagano, he decided to go to the places he frequented by himself to look for him."

"I see. So that's why I ran into you guys."

Mume looked down at the children and asked, receiving an affirmative answer.

“Inspector Megure, the perpetrator was likely involved in an armed robbery, and these children also saw what the perpetrator looked like.”

"What, is it true, Conan?"

"Yes, his back view looks a bit like Uncle Mori."

"And he was also wearing a woolen hat and a scarf around his neck."

She even brought a pair of really round sunglasses.

"He had long hair and a messy beard."

The children described the criminal's features in a few words, but these were too general and likely a disguise, so they were not very reliable.

Chapter 108 Knowing it's a man and going for it or committing seppuku?

"But I think there should be at least two prisoners?"

"What? How do you know about this?"

Inspector Megure asked, puzzled:

"Because after the prisoner pushed Minami-neechan into the car, he sat in the passenger seat himself, which means that at least one person should have been driving the car."

"I see, that makes sense."

"But it's really strange that the criminal called to ask you to call the police instead of for extortion. Is he trying to provoke the police?"

The strangest thing is this: usually, kidnapping is for extortion or to get the police to achieve some goal, but this group of kidnappers did not do that, so Inspector Megure had this guess.

"Perhaps they never intended to release the hostages in the first place. Maybe they have some personal grudge against the hostages. Manager, does the Two Mix group have any enemies?"

"Well, I don't think so. This group has always been very low-key. Because they are singer-songwriters, they spend most of their time at home creating music, except when they go out to perform. It's impossible for them to have any conflicts with anyone!"

The manager was also puzzled; how could their group, which kept such a low profile, have attracted any enemies?

"Beep beep beep"

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the phone in the room suddenly rang, and the policeman next to him reported the matter to Inspector Megure in a panic.

"Don't panic, immediately set up reverse tracing."

As the Metropolitan Police Department, Kaoru Kazama and his team possess a considerable amount of advanced technology, much of which is used exclusively by the military. This number tracking and locking technology can be considered cutting-edge technology in this era.

"Then it's up to you now!"

Inspector Megure said to the young man in a suit standing to the side, "He is the person in charge of the Budokan, the venue for this Two Mix concert, and also the investor for this concert. However, he looks quite nervous and probably hasn't experienced anything like this before."

"You need to stay calm and not be nervous. Talk to him in a calm and peaceful manner. Do not provoke the criminal with your words. If he makes any demands, just agree to them."

Inspector Megure was giving the young man some instructions, while Kaoru Kazama was fiddling with his laptop, which attracted Conan to come over and watch.

"Wow, Sister Xiaoxun, are you a hacker?"

Conan never learns his lesson; he's using his cuteness trick on Kazama Kaoru again.

"You're quite clever, but how did a little kid like you figure that out? Did your older brother Shinichi teach you these things?"

"Um, well, it's because Shinichi-nii told me that people who don't use a mouse to operate a computer are usually either hackers or programmers. I don't think Kaoru-neechan is a programmer, right?"

Hearing the name Shinichi Kudo inevitably makes one subconsciously nervous, but in order to understand Kaoru Kazama's situation, one can't care less about that and can only shamelessly continue to use oneself as a shield.

Kazama Kaoru was actually just setting up a small program, but to avoid the reverse tracking later being inaccurate, he planned to do it himself.

Don't forget, in the very first case—the medieval art gallery murder—he appeared as the police's computer expert.

However, the author's central idea changed later, transforming him from a cold-blooded hacker into a cross-dressing master who only knows how to act cute and pet cats. He is now determined to reclaim his dignity as a top hacker of the 21st century.

"Wow, Sister Xiaoxun, you're so amazing! You look so cool!"

Conan has always been the guide for these kids. When they saw him coming over, the group of mischievous children followed. However, the group of seven-year-olds couldn't understand what Kazama Kaoru was doing. They just thought it was cool as they saw him flying across the computer keyboard.

"Study hard, and you'll be just as cool as me someday."

While setting up the reverse tracking program for precise targeting, Kaoru Kazama also took the time to promote the programmers. Although it was a bit tough on him emotionally, at least the income was good. If these kids became programmers in the future, it would be better than being a detective and being targeted for revenge.

It has to be said that being a detective is the second most dangerous profession in the world, second only to being a police officer, especially for famous detectives. Just look at the tenth movie; how many famous detectives were killed by bombs, and their deaths were quite gruesome. So, it's probably better not to be a detective.

While brainstorming, he casually crossed his legs and typed code, attracting quite a bit of attention. After all, this kind of demeanor would be considered sleazy on a loser, but on a beautiful woman, it would be called lazy.

During this time, even the manager of the group Two Mix came over to ask Kazama Kaoru if he had any plans to become a star. Looking at the guy's smiling face, he was really worried about Two Mix's safety.

He's not even dead yet, and his own agent is already thinking about finding another agency. How ruthless!

Although his mind is filled with many classic songs, novels, and movies, Kaoru Kazama has no intention of revealing them.

When he transmigrated, he did consider entering the entertainment industry. Who hasn't envied those big stars on screen when they were young? However, the entertainment industry is too chaotic, and he is too lazy, so this idea only briefly crossed Kazama Kaoru's mind before being thrown into the trash can.

Moreover, the identity of this cross-dressing master is actually quite inconvenient. What if someone asks him to engage in sexual harassment, or the other person is turned gay by him and takes advantage of him knowing he is a man?

Either the other party would be so frightened that they would go insane and commit suicide, neither of which would be good. In order to avoid making the already chaotic entertainment industry even more chaotic, he decided not to get involved in this mess.
