The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"No, it's all Hattori's fault. He insisted on having a dream. Even though he was involved in a case, he dreamt that I was in trouble, so he had to drag me to Osaka, and he even dragged Uncle and Ran along. Don't you think he's crazy?"

"I don't think so. You detectives should have pretty good intuition. You might really get into trouble. I think you should take this rare opportunity to go to the temple and burn some incense. The number of killings you've committed in this line of work is too heavy."

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly; this was the only resistance he could offer. He couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't win an argument, so he could only roll his eyes.

Who taught Conan to focus all his verbal skills on targeting criminals? Justice champions like Kazama Kaoru have their verbal skills automatically reduced to a mix, and he rarely uses them against his allies.

"Alright, the tea is ready. I have a feeling that you'll probably get involved in the case I'm here to handle as well."

Before Conan could react, Kaoru Kazama finished speaking and strode out with the brewed tea.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Mori finally came up, but there was a young man with him. After asking, we learned that he was a colleague of Kazama Kaoru, and was Officer Sakata Yusuke of the Higashi-Ki Police Station under the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department.

What's truly baffling is that these two actually planned to take the Mori group on a tour of Osaka in a police car. Seriously, their sense of shame would be off the charts! I have no idea how Hattori Heiji developed such a thick skin.

If Kaoru Kazama hadn't rented a car from a special place beforehand, the Mori group probably wouldn't have escaped the treatment of having their own police car.

Finally, Kaoru Kazama was also invited to tour Osaka. After declining several times without success, Kazama Kazama stopped refusing. Anyway, he had half a day off, and it was a rare opportunity to come to Osaka. It would be a bit boring to travel around by himself. Besides, with Heiji Hattori, a local, there was no need to be ripped off when choosing local specialties.

Having made up his mind, Kaoru Kazama and Hattori split into two cars and drove to the udon noodle shop recommended by Yusuke Sakata.

Of course, that so-called coolest car in the Dongjiu Police Station was only enjoyed by the two of them.

Even through the car window, you could see Hattori Heiji's smug expression. No wonder he grew up in a police family; he had the siren on, and apart from not being handcuffed, he was no different from a real criminal the whole way.

As a result, Heiji Hattori completely ignored those strange looks. Just by his thick skin, he was much better than Shinichi Kudo.

"You should learn from him. How can you pursue girls without such a thick skin? You need to hurry up."

Kazama Kaoru, who was at the back, irritated Conan, and then leisurely walked into the udon noodle shop under the other's deadpan gaze.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiaoxun?"

When Kaoru lifted the curtain, he suddenly sensed that someone was watching them. He instinctively turned around but didn't see anyone. However, the sudden movement startled Ran.

"It's nothing, it's probably just my imagination."

Yes, there must be someone watching this place, but it doesn't seem to be targeting us.

Kaoru Kazama thought back and realized that Ran was the only person by his side at the time.

The experienced Officer Sakata and the uncle Mori who had a stomachache got involved, followed by Kaoru Kazama and Ran, and finally their best buddies who were always whispering in each other's ears—Heiji Hattori and Conan.

Chapter 158 It's all because of beauty

"How about that? This is what real ramen looks like. The broth is so clear you can see the bottom of the bowl."

Heiji Hattori stood on a bench with his hands on his hips, excitedly introducing Ran and the others to the authentic ramen in Osaka.

Kaoru Kazama picked up a noodle with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and gently bit it. It was indeed very chewy. Each noodle seemed to have absorbed the soup, bursting on her tongue and bringing an ultimate taste experience.

Heiji Hattori wasn't exaggerating; this so-called long-established noodle shop really does have some real skill.

So he stopped talking and started eating his noodles in silence, since you can eat more if you talk less.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He felt a gaze sweep over his back, and realized it wasn't just directed at Xiaolan anymore; he could sense that she was also paying attention to him.

And it seems to be with malice. What's going on? I just arrived in Osaka, and so did Ran. Surely we don't already have enemies after only half a day here?

Just then, Hattori Heiji suddenly went to the restroom. No sooner had he left than a pretty girl with a ponytail sat down in his seat.

"Excuse me, this is my friend's seat."

When Ran saw that Heiji Hattori's seat was taken, she went to explain to the girl, but the girl didn't say a word and just stared at her and Kaoru Kazama as if they were enemies.

"Oh my, isn't this Hattori's official pairing?"

If he was still a little confused when he sensed a malicious gaze from behind, Kaoru Kazama understood everything the moment he saw the girl.

What else could it be? His childhood sweetheart was jealous when she saw her husband being so close to another woman.

This trip was probably meant to intimidate him, but Kazama Kaoru overlooked one thing: with his current appearance, he was enough to make any girl consider him a rival in love.

That's why he received the same treatment as Xiaolan. It was a completely undeserved disaster, all because of his good looks.

"Which of you two is Kudo?"

After staring for a long time, Toyama Kazuha finally spoke, but his words left Ran completely dumbfounded.

Do you know Shinichi?

Xiaolan had a feeling something was wrong, but she didn't show it on her face. She was never the kind of girl who would get jealous easily.

She was just a little annoyed. All the girls in Osaka knew Shinichi Kudo, but she, as his childhood friend, had never known him. This meant that Shinichi Kudo was very likely out fooling around while he was on a case.

"You must be Kazuha Toyama?"

"Hey, how do you know me? Did Heiji tell you?"

As the girl spoke, she unexpectedly turned the gun on Kazama Kaoru, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

Teenage girls are incredibly jealous and competitive, and this tendency is starting to appear at increasingly younger ages; it seems like Ayumi's age is already experiencing this.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m a police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department named Kaoru Kazama. And the person next to me is Kudo’s childhood friend, the one you’re looking for.”

When Kaoru Kazama introduced Ran, he deliberately dragged out his words, which unsurprisingly caused Kazuha to misunderstand. Her bright little eyes locked onto Ran, but she only realized what he meant when she heard the words "childhood friend." Her eyes instantly turned into beady eyes, and she was completely embarrassed.

It has to be said that the little girl's facial expressions changed very obviously, which was really hilarious. Even Kazama Kaoru couldn't help but tease her a little.

When Hattori Heiji returned to his seat, the two bickered and joked around, which helped them sort out their relationship.

It turns out that the girl who suddenly appeared was Heiji Hattori's childhood friend, Kazuha Toyama, who also grew up in a police family.

Furthermore, the two women complained about each other's tendency to boss the police around. One asked Officer Otaki to bring her over, while the other had Officer Sakata act as her tour guide. They were two of a kind, no doubt about who was the boss.

"I must say, you two really have a good relationship. Kudo and Ran got along just like this when Kudo was still around."

"Hey, please don't talk like I'm dead, okay?"

Upon hearing Kazama Kaoru's words, Conan immediately rolled his eyes, but unfortunately, due to his height, the words didn't reach his target's eyes.

"Hey, what's your relationship with this woman? You wouldn't happen to..."

Heiji Hattori then leaned close to Conan and whispered in his ear, but judging from his lewd smile, he wasn't saying anything good.

Despite Kaoru Kazama's apparent enjoyment of the meal, he actually heard every single word those two said.

Are the beastly intuition and superhuman senses produced by the system fake? He just couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Teenage boys are all like this. He even felt a strange sense of familiarity with it, so he didn't bother to argue with the two of them.

At this moment, Kazuha had already started chatting and laughing with Ran. Women's friendships often come out of nowhere. One second they were sworn enemies, and the next they were chatting and laughing together. It was simply a miracle.

Kaoru Kazama didn't say much, mainly because they weren't very familiar with each other. This gave her the feeling of a cold and aloof goddess. She could feel that Officer Sakata, Heiji Hattori, and even Conan glancing at her every now and then. This behavior was simply ruining her image.

"Host, as a glorious cross-dressing master, you need to be bolder and have a broader vision. Attracting a few famous detectives is nothing. In the future, you will be the one spreading your influence throughout the world."

The system, which had been offline and lurking for ages, suddenly spoke, almost causing Kazama Kaoru to choke on his noodles.

This unpredictable appearance is truly terrifying, and the timing of its appearance is also impeccable, always speaking up just when he's about to forget he has a system, thus asserting its presence.

"Sister Xiaoxun, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, I just choked a little."

"Officer Kazama, I'm so sorry. I misunderstood you and Ran. I'm sorry."

Kazuha Toyama is a straightforward girl, without any beating around the bush. Knowing that she had mistaken someone for someone else, she apologized on the spot without any hesitation, which made him and Ran a little embarrassed.

It wasn't a big deal, and the kid just bowed 180 degrees to apologize. You could say he's too honest.

"It's okay. We wouldn't have met if there hadn't been a misunderstanding, right? Boss, another bowl of ramen, it's on you. Let's not talk about this anymore after we finish eating."

Kazama Kaoru took the opportunity to have another bowl of ramen, which was really delicious. It seems like she might have the chance to bring Akemi and Ai to Osaka for a visit.

Feeling that I hadn't had enough of Kaoru Kazama, I decided to come back and eat my fill sometime in the future.

After a satisfying meal, the group left the ramen shop. As Hattori was looking at the manual to plan their next destination, a dark shadow suddenly fell from mid-air. Kazama Kaoru reacted quickly and tackled Ran and Kazuha, who were standing nearby, to the ground.

When they got up, they realized that what had fallen was actually a corpse, and it had landed right in front of the police car that Hattori and his team had brought.

Is this a provocation against the police?

Seeing this scene, Kaoru Kazama couldn't help but think that there were quite a few people who hated the police, and even carried out terrorist attacks because of them. So it seemed reasonable that he was transferred to Osaka to help, since his position in the Metropolitan Police Department was that of a jack-of-all-trades, and he was good at various skills.

It's no exaggeration to say that he could fill in even if the forensic doctor was sick and couldn't come.

After all, he's a cross-dressing master with a system; how can he be compared to ordinary people?

Chapter 159 Reaching the heavens and standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun in an instant

"Upstairs, is someone still watching upstairs? Sakata, please report this to the police station. I'll go up and chase after them first."

"it is good"

Kaoru Kazama glanced up and spotted another figure above, who was probably bending over and looking down.

He immediately gave chase, and the reason I say "we" is, of course, because of the two detectives following behind us.

"Hey, Kudo, who is this woman? Her physical abilities are incredible. I can't even keep up with her."

Heiji, this chatterbox, didn't forget to make a few jokes even while chasing the criminal; he certainly has a lot of lung capacity.

"Tch, I reckon even you couldn't beat this woman, she's a monster."

As Conan spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, probably recalling the miserable time when he was abused by Kaoru Kazama.

It wasn't actually that far, just three or four flights of stairs, and we arrived in no time.

Kazama Kaoru tumbled open the iron gate to the rooftop, and in that brief moment, he pulled out a pistol from his pocket, cocked it, and aimed it at the man looking down who was wearing a pink shirt and white jacket and had a small mustache.

"Don't move! I'm a police officer. Put your hands up!"

With the gleaming gun pointed at him, the man, who had been looking confused, was almost scared to death. He shakily raised his hands, and Kazama Kaoru slowly walked up and handcuffed them, then took him downstairs.

"Just confess, did you push that person down?"

At this moment, Conan and Heiji Hattori rushed up, panting heavily but still pressing for answers.

"No, no, I, I didn't push that person down!"

"What? You mean someone called and told you to go somewhere?"
