The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

He only lamented Professor Agasa's talent; he absolutely did not envy Conan, nor did he intend to buy these gadgets.

"It seems Conan has already noticed that something's wrong with Hirota Masami. He's got a really sharp sense for things."

Before leaving, Kaoru Kazama remembered that the Metropolitan Police Department had just investigated the lipstick found in Shiro Kaizuka's room. It was confirmed that the lipstick did indeed belong to Masami Hirota. Kaoru Kazama didn't know how they even managed to find out the brand of the lipstick. Anyway, Kaoru Kazama couldn't figure out what markings were on the thing.

Furthermore, judging from the location, the lipstick wasn't applied by her. This had already been analyzed before and included in his analysis report. It's just a matter of how Inspector Megure will interpret it.

In his opinion, this must have been the work of the Black Organization, designed to cut off Hirota Masami's escape route and leave her with nowhere to hide.

After Conan went upstairs, Kaoru Kazama saw Akemi Miyano follow him upstairs, seemingly unaware that a thief had broken into her house.

However, Conan is too cunning; he actually found the key under the flowerpot by the door. It seems he's following his own habits. Next time, he can use this habit to look for the key to the Kudo family mansion and give Conan a surprise.

Chapter 118 So you guys in your organization really are a bunch of idiots!

The setting sun, like blood, creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Such a beautiful scene is unforgettable for all who have seen it. Beautiful scenery often evokes unique emotions in people.

Whether it's the sorrow of parting or the emotions of separation, there are countless different feelings, and everyone has their own understanding. Unfortunately, today Kaoru Kazama is lying lazily on top of a warehouse, languidly enjoying the warm feeling of the setting sun shining on her skin.

He felt that what he was doing was a bit of a mood killer, but there was nothing he could do. The sunset was just too beautiful today, and hiding behind the warehouse at this time would be a waste of its beauty.

Kaoru Kazama could clearly hear any movement inside the warehouse, including the breathing of Gin and Vodka.

"Gin and Vodka are really early, are they here on a date?"

Conservatively speaking, these two people arrived at least an hour earlier than Miyano Akemi, so it seems there was something else going on, not just to kill Miyano Akemi.

He planned to verify this conjecture today. From directly above, Kazama Kaoru's appearance at this moment did look somewhat ghostly.

Wearing a golden mask that gleamed in the setting sun, it was captivating, but the carvings on it were somewhat bizarre and strange, with a pair of curved eyes that gave off a strange feeling that was somewhere between a sneer and a mockery.

"This mask must be worth a lot of money. You really went all out this time!"

Kaoru Kazama was quite curious about how generous her cheat ability was, since it wasn't something she usually did.

"I'm not really sure about the origin of this mask. To be honest, it should be a very ancient artifact from your Chinese era. Since you need it, I'll give it to you naturally."

The system remained indifferent, as if nothing could make it take it seriously. This human-like cheat system gave Kazama Kaoru a familiar feeling of an old friend.

"Judging from the voice, it should be Akemi Miyano. Conan shouldn't have lost her!"

Before leaving Akemi Miyano's residence, he tampered with the transmitter on Conan's body a little. Fortunately, he was wearing Misaka Mikoto's outfit today, so he could still use his super hacker abilities.

This was also the first time he discovered today that cosplay abilities can be used in combination under certain circumstances, but according to the type of bonus, the same type of ability cannot be used simultaneously.

For example, if you have the Third Master's physique, you can't have the physique bonuses of other people. Of course, the mental enhancement is still possible, which is why he can use hacking abilities with Kirito's physique.

If you look closely, you might even see the electric sparks flashing in his bangs, which is a sign that he has just used his electrical abilities.

This is because he is currently operating an electromagnetic field, which interferes with all electronic devices in this environment. This is a necessary preparation he made to prevent Conan from interfering with his plans.

"Da, da, da"

In the empty warehouse, only the sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed, sounding somewhat pale.

"Where are you? Come out right now!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Masami Hirota, no, Akemi Miyano."

At that moment, two figures appeared behind Miyano Akemi, at the entrance of the warehouse; they were Gin and Vodka, who were inseparable.

The two men both wore smiles, but they looked rather sinister and eerie. Moreover, Gin was unusually not smoking a cigarette this time, which was quite strange.

It's important to know that when Gin appears later in the series, he's almost always associated with cigarettes. If a cigarette brand were to hire Gin as their brand ambassador, the promotional effect would be phenomenal.

"Can I ask you a question? Why did you kill those two people?"

Akemi Miyano stared at Gin, her eyes filled with a hint of ambiguity.

"Hmph, hahaha, that's always been our style. Alright, you can bring the money over now."

After hearing Miyano Akemi's words, Gin and Vodka both laughed disdainfully. For these two cold-blooded animals who regarded human life as worthless, such a question was indeed a bit naive.

"The money isn't with me; I put it somewhere else."

"What?!"

Vodka's expression changed drastically, and he looked extremely surprised, as if he hadn't expected that Miyano Akemi, whom they should have had completely under their thumb, would have the audacity to act on her own.

"Where is my sister? Bring her here first! This is what we agreed on. You said that after this matter is over, we sisters can leave the organization."

Although she didn't have much hope from the beginning, she still wanted to try her best, which is why she chose to threaten Gin and Vodka in this way. To be honest, she was prepared to face death long ago.

"Hmph, that's probably very difficult. Your sister is one of the few top-notch people in the organization. She's different from you. The organization needs her services right now."

"So it's true that everyone in your organization is a bunch of idiots!"

A soft voice came from directly above, instantly raising Gin's alert level to its highest.

"Who, who's hiding there? Get out here!"

"bang bang bang"

As Vodka shouted angrily upwards, Gin had already drawn his handgun and fired five or six shots at Kazama Kaoru's location, but all he saw were shattered tiles falling down with a clatter.

"I just don't like the look of you."

The sound came from behind them. Gin turned around as fast as he could and fired a shot in the direction of the sound. However, instead of the sound of a bullet hitting flesh as he had imagined, he heard a crisp metallic clang.

"Keng"

"How, how is this possible? The bullet, it actually, it actually split open."

The neatly scattered bullet heads on the ground, along with Vodka's terrified expression, seemed to suggest that Kazama Kaoru's performance just now was quite good.

"As expected, there's no more showing off by slashing bullets with a knife."

"Why did you stop? Is this all your so-called organization can do?"

From the moment Kazama Kaoru uttered his mocking words to the moment he deflected all the bullets aimed at him, only ten seconds had passed.

Who exactly are you?

His voice was indistinct and his gender was unclear. He was rather thin, but his explosive muscle power must be quite strong. He also wore a strange golden mask. He was agile, especially in swordsmanship and reflexes, which were terrifyingly strong.

"Who exactly is this person in front of me? FBI, CIA, or Japanese Public Security?"

In the blink of an eye, countless possible answers flashed through Gin's mind, but he rejected them all. He had fought against people from these places before, each with their own characteristics, but he had no recollection of the person in front of him.

"So, you mean an unidentified stranger?"

"Who exactly are you? I advise you to mind your own business, because you can't afford the consequences."

Gin's voice remained as cold and gloomy as ever, but this time it carried a rare hint of emotion. His words clearly conveyed anger, which surprised Miyano Akemi.

This cold-blooded and ruthless assassin rarely seems to have emotional fluctuations, so his behavior today is quite unprecedented.

"If you're not satisfied, you can continue. Use that toy in your hand and see if you can hit me."

Chapter 119 So young and already owns his own airport!

"Hmph, you ignorant brat, you won't leave here alive today."

Vodka, being quite perceptive, took over the part of making threats since his older brother remained silent. Judging from his expression, he was clearly quite angry at Kazama Kaoru's words. However, since Gin hadn't made a clear statement, he simply made threats without taking any action.

Who exactly are you?

Kazama Kaoru's sudden appearance seems to have put Gin under a lot of pressure. The appearance of such a stranger at the organization's trading venue, especially at a place where members are to be executed, makes Gin's sensitive nerves begin to speculate about Kazama Kaoru's purpose.

"It seems you've forgotten me. But it doesn't matter. Once you're in hell, you can ask Yama, the King of Hell, and you'll find out."

Because Kazama Kaoru's voice was somewhat obscure, and coupled with his ability to slice bullets with his bare hands, he was naturally assumed to be male, just with a slender build. (Strange, isn't he supposed to be a cross-dresser? Shouldn't he be male to begin with?)

"Hmph, looks like you're one of my unfortunate enemies too. You've courted death this time, so don't blame me for sending you to hell."

Gin seems to regard Kazama Kaoru as his former enemy. To be honest, someone like him who has taken countless lives wouldn't bother to remember the names of the people he killed. Even the protagonist, Kudo Shinichi, was long forgotten by Gin.

Gin seemed to have no intention of wasting words with Kazama Kaoru. A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes turned bloodthirsty and crazed. He fired three shots directly at Miyano Akemi.

"Clang, clang, clang"

The collision of the blade and the bullet produced extremely dazzling sparks, which were very conspicuous in the pitch-black warehouse. The flashes of sparks in the darkness seemed to create a clear distinction between the sunset outside and the warehouse, dividing it into two worlds of light and darkness.

"Hmph, you've got some skills. No wonder you dared to come and meddle in other people's business."

Despite having the physical attributes of the Third Master, because it was a metal blade, most of the kinetic energy generated by the bullet impact was transferred to Kazama Kaoru's wrist. Judging from the recoil, he was definitely wielding a Desert Eagle.

"Hmph, you call yourself a cold-blooded killer? Today I'll show you what I'm made of, and see if your gun is faster than my knife. Go ahead and try!"

Kazama Kaoru's words were blatantly arrogant, making Vodka, who was standing to the side, almost lose his temper. It seemed that he valued his older brother more than his own father. He looked insulted, even though Kazama Kaoru wasn't mocking him.

"Hmph, all you're good for is talking."

"Bang, bang, bang"

Clang

A crisp firing pin clicked in the warehouse, indicating that Gin's magazine was empty—a perfect opportunity for a counterattack.

"Bang, clang"

One sound was a gunshot, and the other was the sound of a bullet hitting metal.

Clearly, Vodka was not part of the background; on the contrary, he did not choose to fire at Gin when he opened fire, partly to avoid attracting the attention of nearby residents with the chaotic gunfire, and partly to wait for that opportunity.

Although he was quite provoked by Kazama Kaoru's goading, this seemingly simple-minded Vodka had clearly not lost his mind, and waited for the most opportune moment with a caution that was quite different from his appearance.

Like a venomous snake on the hunt, it launches a fatal attack when its prey is most relaxed, aiming to kill it in one fell swoop.

Obviously, when Gin runs out of bullets, Kaoru Kazama, who has been on the defensive, will definitely take this opportunity to rush forward and turn the tables. At this time, Vodka's next shot will not only catch the enemy off guard, but also reduce the attention of nearby pedestrians.

Although they chose to meet in a very remote, abandoned garage at a time that was during the busy and noisy rush hour, they still seemed quite cautious.

"Brother, it's a police revolver. Is this guy a cop?"

In the blink of an eye, Kazama Kaoru used his superhuman reflexes to deflect the vodka bullet with his right hand, then pulled out his police revolver and fired a shot at the vodka.

Unfortunately, although the timing was perfect, taking advantage of his relaxed state after the sneak attack, Vodka still managed to dodge a bullet to a vital spot, only managing to take a bullet to the shoulder.

"Hmph, you can try to guess."

Kazama Kaoru remained noncommittal in response to Vodka's question, which aroused Gin's suspicion. In fact, people with high IQs are sometimes easier to deal with.

He wasn't worried that Gin would suspect him because of this, or rather, he deliberately drew Gin's attention to this person who was made up out of thin air. Although the body shape hadn't changed much, there were obvious differences in height and frame.
