The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"What!"

The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the brightly lit hall, leaving Conan and the old woman who fired the shot across from him speechless with astonishment.

"

Chapter 180

"Are you kidding me? It actually split the bullet in two! Is this even human?"

Conan could hardly believe his eyes. He had actually cleaved a pistol bullet traveling at 350 meters per second in two. To achieve that speed, one would have to slash with a knife before the other person could pull the trigger.

Seeing Kirito accomplish such amazing things in the game is already incredibly impressive, let alone bringing it into real life.

As the person directly involved, the old lady felt the extent of Kazama Kaoru's terror much more clearly than Conan, an observer. She was so frightened that she stood there dumbfounded.

After striking a pose for about three seconds, Kaoru Kazama, realizing there would be no applause, grew bored and simply used the back of her knife to knock the pitiful old woman unconscious.

This poor woman who went to great lengths to transform herself into an old lady has now truly become a pitiful old woman.

At least passing out like this is much more comfortable than watching the imagined treasure turn into bubbles in the original story. Who knows if she can withstand such a huge mental shock?

"You, you, you can actually cut through bullets?"

Last time I cosplayed Kirito, Conan wasn't around, so I didn't get to see Kaoru Kazama wielding her sword to cut bullets. This time, I was completely blown away.

I guess I won't be so surprised when I see my childhood sweetheart dodging bullets in the future, after all, there's a living person who can split a pistol bullet.

"Phew, thank goodness I had the Sharingan, otherwise my attempt to show off would have failed."

Kaoru Kazama quietly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword with his left hand.

Actually, he was quite nervous at the time. It's much more difficult to replicate Kirito's classic moves in real life. Fortunately, he had the Sharingan's super dynamic vision to assist him, otherwise he might have accidentally failed.

"Alright, stop praising me. Let's go back and tie those two up first. We can leave this one for now."

The rest was simple. The police arrived at dawn, and Kazama Kaoru had collected very comprehensive evidence; they could go straight to court and file a lawsuit.

Inspector Megure also praised Kaoru Kazama highly, since this was a case that was solved without the help of a detective, and it could be used as positive publicity material for the police. It is said that Superintendent Matsumoto has been planning to make the reputation of the police surpass those so-called detectives.

If he hadn't known Matsumoto's character, he might have actually suspected that Shinichi Kudo's disappearance in Tokyo was orchestrated by Matsumoto.

Unfortunately, after Shinichi Kudo, who was known as the savior of the island nation's police, was banned, he actually applied for a new Conan account and continued to go online. Moreover, he ignored the GM and used cheats without restraint, which is why Matsumoto's plan has never been realized.

"Xiao Xun, you're really something! You can get something like this even on a vacation. I think next time we don't need to maintain order anymore, we can just patrol behind you and we'll definitely find criminal cases."

Miwako looked somewhat helpless, but she was mainly worried about Kaoru Kazama's personal safety.

After all, this was a legitimate shooting incident, and it involved openly attacking the police.

In island nations, gun control is extremely strict. To put it simply, a patrol officer would have to diligently patrol for at least ten years to become a patrol chief. However, if a firearm is found during a street fight, the officer can be immediately promoted to patrol chief. This demonstrates the severity of gun control in island nations.

Discovering a smuggled firearm is a valuable contribution, even for Kazama Kaoru who has now become a police inspector.

Although a police officer like him, who entered the police force through a prestigious university and passed a special examination, can be promoted to police inspector after serving for a year and passing the position examination, whether he can lead a team on his own still depends on his merits.

Although Inspector Nakamori suffered repeated losses at the hands of Phantom Thief Kid, Kid's contributions cannot be ignored. As an inspector in the Second Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he has dealt with all sorts of formidable thieves. Not everyone would show mercy to their future father-in-law like Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaoru Kazama felt very wronged by Miwako's very pointed remarks.

If he followed Conan, the elementary school student who's a death god, he'd be guaranteed to never encounter a criminal case until he died.

In his previous life, he lived peacefully in China for over twenty years without ever encountering a single theft.

While there was an element of luck involved, it also demonstrates just how good public security is in China.

(A quick patronage of the motherland; honestly, the author has never encountered a single incident like this.)

"I haven't even complained yet, but I always run into cases when I go on vacation. I'm the one who's wronged, okay? I think I should go burn some incense when I have time."

"You should use your time in America to work properly. The files on your desk are already piled up three feet high. If I didn't help you deal with them when I had some free time, you would probably be buried under them when you got back."

"I knew you were the best to me, Miwako. I've been spoiling you all this time. But what have you been up to lately? Aren't you usually a workaholic? I haven't seen you around after get off work lately."

"I... I have some personal matters to take care of, it'll be fine in a while, don't worry."

When Kaoru Kazama brought up this topic, Sato, who is usually straightforward, actually started to stutter, stammering and clearly hiding something.

"Could it be that you've fallen for one of your blind date partners?"

Kaoru Kazama looked incredulous; he had always held Aunt Sato in the highest esteem.

Not everyone can comfortably arrange their daughter's weekends as matchmaking events. Aunt Sato is probably the first person to be so afraid that her daughter will never get married.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; anyone who has witnessed Miwako's fighting prowess will think twice before acting.

Not every man can accept that his wife is a Super Saiyan, even if that Super Saiyan has a beautiful appearance and a devilish figure.

"How could that be? I'm only twenty-five. How can I get married so early? Let's wait another seven or eight years."

Miwako acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water; all her shyness and bashfulness had long been lost in her battle of wits with her mother.

Furthermore, she still has a deep-seated problem: she will not get married until the truth about her father's death is uncovered.

Of course, Aunt Sato knew this, which is why she hoped to help her daughter relax through a relationship. Even the only time Kazama Kaoru went home with Sato, Aunt Sato instructed her to help Sato relax and distract her.

However, his first thought at the time was: "What do you think about getting involved with lesbians?" This filthy thought was somewhat unfair to his aunt, but what could he do when she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter?

"In short, you should relax a bit. How about we go on vacation together next time? I remember you probably still have a lot of vacation days left, right?"

Anyway, the next plan is to go to the beach, wouldn't it be even better to have another beautiful woman in a swimsuit?

"I've been quite busy lately, maybe next time."

Given Sato's recent habit of disappearing after get off work and his tendency to often appear lost in thought with furrowed brows, it's highly likely that something has happened to him.

As her best friend, Kaoru Kazama felt it was necessary to understand Miwako's recent thoughts and feelings.

So after get off work today, he unusually didn't go home immediately, but waited until Sato rushed out of the Metropolitan Police Department building before slowly following him.

He wanted to see what Sato had been up to lately, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Surely he couldn't have gone on vacation and Miwako had been seduced by someone?

Chapter 181 The Reason Why Police Can't Beat Detectives

"This...this doesn't seem to be the way home, does it?"

Kaoru Kazama had been to Sato's house once before and vaguely remembered the general location, but Sato drove straight in another direction. It couldn't be that he was going on a date at this hour and wasn't going home.

You have to understand, how could Miwako, who had already become disgusted with blind dates eighteen years ago, possibly take the initiative to date?

Fortunately, it was Miwako they were tracking. Kazama Kaoru borrowed the most advanced tracking equipment directly from the group of uncles in the Metropolitan Police Department. This was the culmination of their efforts when the Miwako Guard was established, and it was practically the Metropolitan Police Department's highest technological achievement. It was said to be a legacy left by the former captain, Shiratori Ninzaburo.

When Kaoru Kazama went to borrow it, the group of middle-aged men gave it to him without saying a word, and even subtly asked if he needed any help, since they were all experienced veterans.

However, given the ill intentions of these middle-aged men, Kaoru Kazama politely declined.

If Miwako finds out that she's been followed by a group of middle-aged, greasy men with families, her death will be far more gruesome than Shiratori's.

His trunk is now full of high-tech tracking equipment, enough to rival even Conan's.

After all, the power of the state apparatus is far greater than that of a black technology inventor.

"Target has stopped moving 500 meters ahead. Please take cover."

"Tsk tsk, how come I never noticed that the Metropolitan Police Department had such high-tech stuff before? Such amazing equipment, used for tracking. No wonder the police can't beat detectives, they have no ambition."

This is a navigation-enabled tracker with built-in tracking and identification functions. It can also automatically connect to nearby networks to transmit data and even comes with voice packs from famous voice actors, allowing police officers to maintain a pleasant experience during intense tracking. It can be said to be very user-friendly.

"Who's this? Aren't these Officer Narasawa and Officer Shiba? Are they here to discuss work?"

Having spent more than half a year in the Metropolitan Police Department, he was quite familiar with his best friend Miwako's work experience.

Before being transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division 1, Violent Crimes Investigation Section 3, where Inspector Megure worked, Officer Sato was working with Inspector Tomonari, and the other two members of the team were Inspector Narasawa and Inspector Shibaichiro.

"This is clearly a confidential matter; I'd better not get involved."

The Metropolitan Police Department's equipment is really useful. Kazama Kaoru's car is currently parked 300 meters away from the coffee shop where Miwako and the others are, but they can see it clearly through the street corner's surveillance cameras.

Misaka Mikoto possesses super hacking abilities that allow her to infiltrate any nearby network-connected electronic devices in an instant; mere surveillance cameras are no match for her.

Unfortunately, this broken camera doesn't have a sound recording function, so Kazama Kaoru is watching a pantomime, seeing the people inside opening and closing their mouths, but he has no idea what they are saying.

"I should have gotten my lip reading professionally edited. You only realize how little you know when you need it most!"

The three of them talked for about half an hour, and it seemed they even exchanged the documents they were carrying. Judging from their serious and focused expressions, they were most likely investigating a case. And since Miwako didn't rely on the First Investigation Division, it meant that this was a case from their past that she was investigating on her own after get off work.

"As expected of workaholic Sato, he's still working even after get off work hours. He's truly a role model for us all."

Kaoru Kazama started the car and drove it toward the Metropolitan Police Department.

Not only do we need to return the equipment, but we also need to check the archives to see if Officer Youcheng's team has any unsolved historical cases.

This is definitely not about satisfying a perverted curiosity, but about providing both mental and physical support to my best female friend.

------------

"This is outrageous! Someone dared to openly attack a police officer in broad daylight! This is a blatant provocation against our Metropolitan Police Department. Superintendent Matsumoto has given us orders to arrest the suspect within a week and quell the negative impact of this incident. Do you all understand?"

"Yes"

Although Inspector Megure has always had a bad temper, he doesn't throw tantrums randomly; it's rare to see him this angry.

The reason is that at 2 p.m. the day before yesterday, a current detective from the Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Narasawa, was found shot and killed near the traffic lights in Beika Park. Although an ambulance arrived in time, he died due to the severity of his injuries.

According to eyewitness Conan, before Officer Narasawa died, he tightly gripped his left chest with his right hand. Later, his police manual was found in the pocket of his left chest. Therefore, everyone agreed that Officer Narasawa was implying that the murderer was someone within the police force.

"The first eyewitness to Officer Narasawa's shooting was Conan and his friends. They're in the interrogation room now. Kazama, Sato, Takagi, Shiratori, you guys come with me."

"Yes!"

Because of the seriousness of the situation, Kaoru Kazama was not as lazy as usual, otherwise he might have been made an example of by the in a bad mood of Inspector Megure.

Sato didn't smile at all all day.

Although he is usually a workaholic, even the most oblivious officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, Takagi, could sense that Officer Sato was in low spirits.

To be honest, Kaoru Kazama was a little worried about her safety. During his previous surveillance, he learned that Sato, Narasawa, and Detective Shiba were secretly investigating a case.

Three days later, Officer Narasawa was shot and killed, making it hard for him not to connect the two events.

Perhaps it was because their investigation offended the interests of certain high-ranking police officers that it was not impossible for them to be killed.

Even in the Conan anime, the world is not all light and good; there is also a dark side.

"Miwako, are you alright?"
