The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

After all, with this system at his disposal, he was already an expert in disguise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so flat-chested at such a young age. You have to understand that he used to be a completely open and honest otaku.

"Looks like you're still not giving up. If you don't leave soon, the police might take you to the station for a chat. Besides, you don't look like good people. You might even be kept there for dinner."

Kazama Kaoru's voice carried a hint of mockery, a stark contrast to the urgent sirens outside. He seemed unmoved by the arrival of the police, which only reinforced Vodka's suspicion that he was a cop. However, Gin's eyes grew even colder, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"Hmph, you'll regret this."

Perhaps because he rarely speaks, even his threats sound weak and ineffective. However, this only refers to the content of his words; the murderous intent in his words was almost tangible, making the warehouse feel like a living hell, suffocating everyone.

Standing behind Kazama Kaoru, Miyano Akemi had already collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Her posture was like that of a drowning person grasping at a straw, her face extremely pale, her expression panicked and helpless, and her eyes filled with despair.

"Don't be afraid, they've left. The police will be here soon. Can the little boy by the door come out now?"

Kazama Kaoru's first half of her statement was still comforting Miyano Akemi, but her voice became louder in the second half, and she turned her head towards the warehouse door.

"What, do you expect me to personally invite you out? Little Conan, or rather, Shinichi Kudo?"

When Miyano Akemi first heard the name Conan, she reflexively looked towards the warehouse entrance. However, after Kazama Kaoru said the name Kudo Shinichi, she froze.

How did you know?

Since Kaoru Kazama had already made things so clear, Conan naturally couldn't keep hiding it any longer. He slowly walked in through the warehouse's main entrance, but with his arms crossed, looking like a sniper.

"Alright, little Conan, bullets can't hit me. Do you think your gadgets will be of any use to me?"

Seeing the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun pointed at him, he waved his hand dismissively, signaling the overly tense detective to relax.

Who exactly are you?

Chapter 120 Turning the Tables

Seeing Conan's pale face and sweaty appearance, Kaoru Kazama truly felt that his trip was worthwhile.

For Conan, who is usually so arrogant, to show such an expression, it must mean that his operation was a great success.

"You're asking me? We've known each other for ages. How could you not recognize me? That really hurts my feelings."

"And another thing, Shinichi Kudo, let me remind you, Gin's bullets didn't hit me just now, do you really think your tranquilizer dart will have a chance to hit me? You'd better just put down your gadget."

"Your voice and physique are probably fake. I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone like you. Who are you? If you don't tell me soon, the police will be here."

"By the way, sir, I am truly grateful for your saving me, but this organization is truly terrifying. It is a massive organization shrouded in darkness, and what you just saw was merely the tip of the iceberg."

"What? An organization? You mean these two people are in the same organization?"

Kaoru Kazama didn't care, since he knew the members of the Black Organization much better than Akemi Miyano. However, Conan couldn't remain calm any longer.

You have to understand, aside from the Shinkansen explosion, this was the first time he had ever truly come into contact with the organization's true face. In his eyes, it was the hope for his growth, so how could he not be excited?

"Alright, miss, and Shinichi Kudo, it would be best if we could find another place to talk. The police are coming soon, and it would be troublesome if we were asked to make a statement, Mr. Detective."

"You're afraid of the police, so does that mean you're a fugitive or something?"

Is it true that a leopard can't change its spots? Even when faced with such a threat that would make Gin look foolish, this guy still doesn't forget to deduce things based on other people's words and actions. Isn't he afraid of angering others and getting torn to pieces?

"Once we get there, you'll know my true identity. I guarantee you'll be satisfied then, okay?"

Kazama Kaoru was utterly speechless. He was completely convinced of the so-called occupational hazard of detectives. This was a profession that recklessly flirted with death.

Where are you going? What is your purpose?

"Well, I think the people from the organization have already left, but I doubt they'll let me go easily. They'll definitely come back to silence me, and I might cause you trouble then. I think I'll just go back to my apartment."

"Come with me first, we'll talk about the rest when we get there. Conan, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll just knock you out. You're such a worry."

"That tone, and that intimate way of addressing her, it seems she really is someone close to me. Why does this attitude feel so familiar, like I've met her before? Damn it, I just can't remember."

Conan subconsciously followed Kazama Kaoru forward, but his mind was still preoccupied with trying to figure out his true identity.

There's a saying that goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Even a renowned detective can feel subconsciously confused when a case connects to his family and friends. Conan simply can't recall having such a terrifying person in his life who can cut bullets with a knife.

And so, a man, a woman, and a child—a group that looked remarkably like a family of three—walked openly down the street. They did look like a family of three, but the atmosphere among them was quite different.

"Alright, we're here. Let's go in."

Kaoru Kazama spoke softly, waking the two from their reverie.

These two are really something, actually spacing out while walking. It seems that what happened today must have had a significant impact on their values, leading to this situation.

"Hmm, isn't this the place?"

Conan subconsciously looked up at his destination, not realizing it at first, but the more he looked, the more it resembled his own home. He hurriedly looked to both sides and, sure enough, found Professor Agasa's house next door.

"Don't just stand there, open the door now, or I'll have to forcibly demolish it."

Conan was stunned by the other person's matter-of-fact tone.

This seems to be... his home, so why is this guy acting like he's the master, ordering him around? Don't children have any human rights? How infuriating!

"The Kudo residence? Could this be Shinichi Kudo's house?"

Akemi Miyano looked at the nameplate outside the door that read "Kudo Residence" and realized that the huge villa in front of her was actually Shinichi Kudo's home.

She had heard from her sister that Gin was using drugs developed by her sister to kill people, and the most noteworthy case was the only one whose death had not yet been confirmed, namely the high school detective who appeared on TV every now and then.

Moreover, it seems that the organization has also sent people to this place to conduct several searches, and even the younger sister went with her once, but they did not find any clues.

Because of Shiho Miyano's research, Akemi Miyano was not completely ignorant about Shinichi Kudo. Don't underestimate the curiosity of researchers; as the only person among the drugs she was developing whose death was not confirmed, the amount of curiosity she felt about him was immeasurable.

"Alright, Ms. Miyano, please come in."

"Damn it, why is this guy acting like this place is his own home? Who is he anyway?!"

Under Kazama Kaoru's silent threat, Conan had no choice but to obediently open his front door. To be honest, this was actually the first time he had returned home in the last three months, and he had to thank Kazama Kaoru for that.

However, looking at the familiar furniture and decorations, he couldn't help but feel an urge to burst into tears. How miserable it is to have a home but not be able to go back. Even though he is now living with his future girlfriend, it doesn't change the fact that he is living under someone else's roof.

"Conan, I'm really disappointed that you still haven't recognized me."

Kazama Kaoru's voice suddenly changed, from that androgynous voice to her original voice, which Conan recognized instantly.

"That voice... is that Sister Xiaoxun?"

Conan felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. He never expected that the mysterious figure who was confronting the organization this time would be that neurotic female police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

(Conan, if Kaoru Kazama knew the word "neurotic," you'd be dead meat.)

"What, are you surprised? Hello, Ms. Miyano, we meet again."

Kazama Kaoru used her right hand to remove the golden mask from her face, and at the same time released the air sac hidden inside her trench coat that was used to change her body shape, thus restoring her original appearance.

"You are... Ms. Kazama? How could it be you? I remember you were a police officer."

Akemi Miyano also looked incredulous. She had met Kaoru Kazama when she first infiltrated the bank, and because of several "chance encounters," they always greeted each other and were practically friends.

To her surprise, this terrifying figure who dared to confront the Black Organization head-on was actually a delicate and beautiful woman, which far exceeded her expectations. At first, she thought that there was a scarred face under the mask, but she did not expect that it was a familiar and stunningly beautiful face.

"Are you kidding me? Could it be that you, Kazama... ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Before Conan could even utter the words "undercover agent," he was brutally punished by Kazama Kaoru's iron fist.

"Kids need to be polite, you know? Even Shinichi Kudo has to call you 'older sister' respectfully. A cocky guy like that will never find a girlfriend."

"Mind your own business. Aren't you single too?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Conan was clearly unaware that Kazama Kaoru possessed a beastly instinct, and his supposedly quiet mutterings were completely overheard by Kazama.

"It's nothing, I was just surprised that it was you, Sister Xiaoxun."

Once Kaoru Kazama glanced at him, Conan immediately backed down. He had been thinking that he wouldn't have to call her "older sister" anymore after she found out his true identity, but he was instantly punished. His little thoughts vanished in an instant, and he could only obediently continue to back down.

Chapter 121 Would you believe me if I said he was my ex-boyfriend?

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. The reason I know your identity is that I guessed it myself, and it has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Then why were you there? It seems like you also knew about that organization?"

After hearing Kazama Kaoru's explanation, Conan first breathed a sigh of relief, then hurriedly asked:

"Oh, would you believe me if I said that the long-haired guy was my ex-boyfriend? He ran off with that burly man next to him, which is why I chased after this heartless man."

Kazama Kaoru really didn't know how to answer Conan's question, so she gave this bizarre answer on a whim.

"Ex-ex-boyfriend? No way, you actually liked such a cold man? That's unbelievable."

Whether Conan is genuinely stupid or just pretending, he didn't doubt Kazama Kaoru's words at all, and instead went along with her guesses.

"There's nothing I can do. Maybe in his eyes, that burly man named Vodka is more attractive than me."

Kaoru Kazama shrugged, indicating that he was also helpless. If you ignored the smile on his lips, he might really look like a pitiful girl whose boyfriend came out as gay.

"Nonsense, I wouldn't believe you. If you don't want to tell me, fine. But since you know I'm Shinichi Kudo, aren't you curious about how I ended up like this?"

Conan asked, puzzled, "Now that you know my true identity, why aren't you surprised by my current state? Or was this person present when I shrunk, which is why you're not surprised?"

"Stop, stop, stop your inhuman imagination. When you disappeared, I hadn't been transferred to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department yet. I was still studying at the police academy."

"So you know the secret of how I shrunk, which is why you're not curious?"

Conan is like he's on drugs now, with an endless curiosity about Kazama Kaoru. They say that once a woman becomes curious about a man, she's not far from falling for him. I wonder what would happen if it were the other way around?

"I only know a little bit about it. It seems that the organization is researching some kind of drug, and you just happened to become the guinea pig for the experiment. However, the fact that you have undergone such a miraculous change is obviously not under normal circumstances. It might be a genetic mutation."

Kaoru Kazama was talking nonsense with a straight face. Although he knew about the drug aptx4869, he obviously couldn't say it now. He didn't have any way of knowing about the drug, and it would be difficult to explain if Ai came.

For now, you can pretend to be a police officer who happens to know a little about this organization. There's no rule that only FBI and CIA members can encounter this organization committing crimes. Shinichi Kudo saw them making a deal when he went to an amusement park.

Moreover, although this organization is well-hidden, its operations are not exactly secretive. These two guys dressed in all black drive around in luxury cars all day long, so it's no wonder they attract attention.

When she heard about the drug, Akemi Miyano's expression became noticeably unnatural. It seemed she had guessed that the drug Shinichi Kudo had taken was probably the one her sister was developing. She had previously heard her sister complain at a party that the organization had taken the drug out for people to take without authorization.

However, it was clearly not the right time to say it, because no matter what, his sister was the culprit, and under these circumstances, no one with a brain would say it casually.

"By the way, Ms. Mingmei, where did you hide that ten billion yen? The police are still investigating."

"I put it in a safe east of Beika Station, but I don't know if they'll search for me in the area, so..."

Miyano Akemi hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping herself. Kazama Kaoru had just taken her away in front of Gin and Vodka. As someone who knew about the organization's existence, she didn't think the two of them would let her go easily. Going out now would be tantamount to courting death.

"I will explain this to you in detail later. I will get you out of this organization completely and will not hand you over to the police."
