The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

This was the first time the usually laid-back system master had reacted so quickly, and Kazama Kaoru was sincerely grateful. However, in this critical moment, there was no time to dawdle any longer.

Yosano Akiko's character image and abilities flashed through Kazama Kaoru's mind in that instant.

That's a character from the anime "Bungo Stray Dogs," who possesses an extremely special healing device called—"Please Don't Die."

This is a very special ability that can only be used when the patient is on the verge of death. Therefore, when using it, the patient is usually tortured to the point of near death. In the original work, he is a terrifying doctor of death.

The other person's attire was relatively simple, mainly in black and white. The upper body was a white shirt with a black tie, and the lower body was a black skirt that went past the knees and black stockings. What was different was that they also wore a pair of black gloves.

In this critical moment, Kaoru Kazama couldn't care less about anything else.

He was wearing a trench coat on his upper body, and thankfully he was wearing a white shirt underneath, although a black tie wasn't so easy to find.

He looked around and noticed that none of the men in suits were wearing black ties.

In desperation, he could only grab his trouser legs with both hands and tear them upwards with all his might.

With his current strength, let alone ordinary women's clothing, even an expensive spacesuit probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

He tore off a long strip of black cloth, and everyone thought Kazama Kaoru was going to bandage himself. But to everyone's surprise, he simply wrapped it around his neck and tied it like a tie.

Chapter 187 Helpless Amnesia

The upper body is almost done, except for a black glove, but the stockings and over-the-knee black skirt for the lower body are nowhere to be found.

He couldn't possibly run out and try to pull down a female guest's skirt at this critical moment, could he? He'd be considered crazy and thrown out.

In fact, his series of actions just now had already made Inspector Megure and the others doubt whether he was still mentally sound.

"System, let me see how well I match the system?"

As soon as Kazama Kaoru finished speaking, a virtual fluorescent screen appeared in front of him, which amazed him.

"System, did you secretly go out to upgrade? How come I've never seen this before?"

The current compatibility score is only 43%. If I wore black gloves, it should be over 50%. It's a pity that the event I attended was a wedding celebration, not a memorial service, otherwise I should have been able to find someone.

"Forty-three it is, let's start copying."

Kaoru Kazama sensed a special power slowly developing within him, like a sapling gradually taking root, sprouting, and growing into a towering tree on a conscious level.

"Is this the healing ability—'Please do not die'? It really feels extraordinary."

Kaoru Kazama gently closed her eyes, carefully pondering this new sensation.

All the abilities they acquired before were used for combat, such as Misaka Mikoto, Kirito, and Saeko Busujima. This time is different; it's for healing.

The specific feeling might be like someone who has always focused on AD carries suddenly playing a support role one day.

A pale blue light shone on his palm, and life force seemed to materialize into a small river, flowing continuously into Sato's body.

However, this efficiency is nothing compared to the complete Yosano Akiko. After all, Kazama Kaoru's cosplay is not complete yet, and her abilities only match 43% of the original. It's still barely usable for combat-type superpowers, since this was a slice-of-life anime hundreds of episodes ago.

However, healing-type abilities are more troublesome.

Originally, the "Please Don't Die" plea, if activated, would have at least saved Sato's life, if not healed on the spot.

However, Kazama Kaoru's current level of power was not enough to wake Sato up in such a serious condition. Seeing the unconscious Miwako, Kazama Kaoru could only silently increase her power.

Before the ambulance arrived, Sato, who had lost a lot of blood, finally had some color in his face, which was the complete opposite of Kazama Kaoru's pale face.

"Kazama, why do you look so pale? Why don't you go back and rest instead of going to the hospital?"

Shiratori advised Kaoru Kazama, who was about to get into the ambulance. Under the dim light of the street lamp, Kaoru Kazama's face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

Kaoru Kazama waved his hand and followed Sato's stretcher into the ambulance.

On the way, he kept using the incomplete "Please Don't Die" ability, and almost collapsed on the spot when he got off the ambulance.

"Kazama, I order you to go back and rest immediately."

As Sato's superior, Inspector Megure was naturally in the ambulance. Upon seeing this, he immediately ordered Kazama Kaoru to go back and rest with a serious expression.

With so many police officers at the time of the incident, manpower was not a problem at all. Moreover, Chief Odagiri is in charge there now, so there's no need to worry.

"Okay, I'll come over tonight."

After Kazama Kaoru finished speaking, he turned and left. Next, Miwako should go for surgery to remove the bullet. With her own special ability as a foundation, she should be able to hold on. Rather than waiting there foolishly, it would be better to investigate the real culprit.

"Drip drip!"

"Xiao Lan... has lost her memory."

After answering the phone, the person on the other end hesitated for a long time before saying only this one sentence, which revealed a complex mix of emotions.

"In that case, don't wallow in self-pity. Don't forget your strengths. Xiaolan is waiting for you too."

Instead of offering direct advice, Kaoru Kazama uttered this seemingly random statement.

This was the first time Conan had ever been so downcast. He never expected that Ran, whom he had carefully examined and found no wounds, would end up with such a troublesome consequence as amnesia.

Unfortunately, he is now overusing his powers, and it involves brain-related issues, which, strictly speaking, cannot be considered an illness.

Because the brain's self-protection mechanism was activated, Xiaolan selectively forgot everything that happened at the time, as she couldn't accept those scenes.

"It seems that Sato's matter has also greatly affected Ran."

"Uncle, please turn left and go to Beika Pharmacist Clinic."

"no problem."

I just asked Conan, and the Mori couple took Ran to Beika Pharmacist Hospital to see a psychologist, I think it was the same Dr. Kazato that Shiratori introduced before.

Whether it's useful or not, he should take a look, both morally and logically.

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

"Mori-senpai, Attorney Kisaki."

"Kazama, you're here. I'm sorry you look so pale."

"It's alright. I've heard about Xiaolan's situation. I've come to see her and hope she gets better soon."

"Officer Kazama, how is Officer Sato? We have to thank her this time. If it weren't for her, Ran might have been in mortal danger."

Eri Kisaki truly lives up to her reputation as a legal queen; she excels at dealing with people and doesn't forget to express her gratitude even in this situation.

"She's already been taken to the hospital. Good people are always protected by heaven, I believe she'll be alright."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kaoru Kazama followed the Mori couple into Ran's hospital room.

As expected, Conan was by Ran's bedside, but Ran's eyes were no longer gentle as before; instead, they were full of confusion, making her look quite dazed and pitiful.

"Xiao Lan, it's me, Sister Xiao Xun. Do you remember me?"

In order to help Xiaolan regain some of her memories, he disregarded his own discomfort and awkwardness.

"Little...Little Xun-jie?"

Xiaolan even stuttered a little when she spoke, it seems that she was really shocked this time, and it even had a significant impact on her physiology.

Hearing Kaoru Kazama speak, Ran slowly raised her head. Her movements were very slow, and she looked more like an elderly person with limited mobility than a young girl.

After staring for a moment, she gently shook her head. Her empty eyes sent shivers down the spines of everyone who saw her. Why was God so unfair to such a gentle and kind girl?

Upon first seeing Ran, Kaoru Kazama asked the system if he could use his current superpowers to heal her.

To enhance the effect, he even went to a women's clothing store on the way and bought stockings, a black skirt, and black gloves. It was already a perfect cosplay, with a 95% compatibility rate, which allowed him to effectively perform most of the "Please Don't Die" effect.

Unfortunately, the system's answer was no; even medical superpowers were helpless against mental trauma in bed.

Chapter 188 I, Conan, Just Have to Show Off

"Alright, there's no use just staring at your little Ran. Memories are something that can only be developed slowly, you can't force them. If you turned back into Shinichi Kudo, you might still have a chance, after all, she thinks about you every day."

"Easy for you to say, do you think I don't want to?"

Conan was too exhausted to even roll his eyes. Ran's sudden amnesia made him feel fear for the first time, something he had always been complacent about.

He had always been the most important person to Ran, but had he ever imagined that one day Ran would forget him?

That feeling, that sensation, was truly awful; it felt like someone had violently gripped my heart, making it impossible to breathe.

"Feeling sorry for yourself isn't your style. Instead of wasting your time, you should hurry up and find the real culprit."

"Kazama, didn't I tell you to go back and rest? What are you doing here?"

Kaoru Kazama turned around and found that Inspector Megure and the others had also come here. They must have heard about Ran's amnesia and rushed over.

"Boss Megure, you guys are here too. How's Inspector Sato?"

"He just had surgery and has been moved to a ward, but he hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time one of his men had suffered such a serious injury, and as his superior, he felt terrible.

"How is Xiaolan? Is she alright?"

They just arrived here and don't know the situation yet.

"The current situation is not very optimistic. Psychological problems like amnesia are not easy to solve, but fortunately, common sense has been retained, so normal life should be no problem."

The Mori couple had just had a fight about this. Attorney Eri Kisaki advocated for conservative treatment because stimulation therapy requires recreating the scene at the time, using the same stimulation to help Ran recall her forgotten memories.

This method is somewhat violent, but it is a treatment with a relatively high success rate.

Uncle Mori just wants his daughter to get better soon. After all, she can't remember anything and will face great difficulties in life. As parents, they see this and it hurts them deeply.

"By the way, how's the crime scene investigation going? I remember seeing a silenced handgun when I went in; that should be the murder weapon, right?"

"That's right. After ballistic comparison, it was confirmed that this is the murder weapon from the previous two cases. In other words, this murderer is the same murderer who shot and killed two police officers in succession."

"Inspectors Narasawa, Shiba, and Miwako were all once under Inspector Tomonari's command. So it seems this attack is indeed related to that incident, right?"

"Although we can't draw a conclusion yet, it seems very likely given the current situation."

"What kind of case was it?"

As soon as Conan heard about the case, he completely forgot about his older sister Ran.

"It's a case that Officer Sato's team once handled, the case of Dr. Nino Yasushi of Beika Pharmacy Hospital who died unexpectedly. At the time, it was ruled a suicide."

"Oh, is that so?"
