The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

However, thanks to the black coat produced by the system, it not only maintains a constant temperature but also has a 360-degree windproof property.

It's comparable to Nick Fury's signature black coat, which is practically a work of cutting-edge technology.

Although it was just a piece of clothing, it was an unparalleled enjoyment for Xianyu Xun.

"Sigh, walking alone between heaven and earth has its own unique flavor."

However, the forest on this small mountain, which is not very high, is exceptionally dense.

Let alone at night, even during the day, you could easily get lost here if you're not careful.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many mountain accidents.

In fact, for someone who has lived for so many years and still can't tell east from west, finding a graveyard deep in the forest under such a limited view is really asking too much.

Nevertheless, she still refused Conan's suggestion that she take Saburo out with her.

Because she is currently using 3D maneuvering to move forward.

That's right, it's 3D Maneuver Gear.

Although the trees here are not as impressive as the Giant Forest in the world of Attack on Titan, they are still tall cedars and can be used to some extent.

If Saburo were to be brought along, it would be impossible to use 3D Maneuver Gear.

The night breeze ruffled the strands of hair by her ears. If her character imitation ability hadn't been absent, she might have even worn the Wings of Freedom cloak, in which case she wouldn't have been able to enjoy the benefits of the high-tech coat.

"Hmm? There seems to be someone ahead."

Although I really dislike this comparison, Kaoru Kazama's sense of smell, while not as good as Saburo's, isn't too far off.

She couldn't easily find the scent of the dead covered by the blizzard, but it was still easy for the living to walk in the snow.

Three minutes later, she was about fifty meters away from the target location.

At that moment, she was hiding in the tree like a cat, observing the person walking silently in the snow.

The man with the Mediterranean hairline wasn't lying; he was indeed completely covered up so his face was obscured.

Wearing a dark blue turtleneck ski suit that completely covered his chin, along with a scarf, sunglasses, and a black knit hat, he was truly fully armed.

Moreover, this guy is indeed very muscular; just standing there can create psychological pressure for people.

"This person looks vaguely familiar."

Perhaps influenced by Ran, Kaoru Kazama also felt that the mysterious person in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

However, regardless of the circumstances, one thing is certain: this person is definitely not Shuichi Akai.

As someone who was able to successfully infiltrate the organization and even deceive the old fox Gin, Shuichi Akai's success was not solely due to his top-notch skills and sniping abilities.

That aura that blended perfectly into the darkness was the real reason why Gin recognized him.

To put it another way, even if this guy is an FBI agent representing the side of justice, if he appears in this area, he can still be detected by Ai Haibara, the detective of the dark organization.

"Who's there? Come out!"

The man who had been walking silently suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Kazama Kaoru was.

Beneath his serious exterior, his voice was surprisingly young, sounding like he was only around twenty years old.

Although you can't see his eyes through the sunglasses, you can still feel the heavy killing intent.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come down by then, I won't be polite."

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, but Kaoru Kazama found the voice strangely familiar.

It's not just the voice, it's the tone of voice too.

Could it be...?

"Kyogoku Makoto?"

The cool voice seemed to descend from the sky, but it startled the tense man.

How do you know my name? Who are you?

"Come on, wandering around outside in the middle of the night, are you lost or something?"

"Swish!"

She leaped lightly from the tree, sending sprays of blood flying everywhere; her entrance was surprisingly beautiful.

"You must be here to see Sonoko, right?"

"Aren't you... that policewoman?"

Makoto Kyogoku's voice was no longer as cold as before; instead, it had become somewhat... adorable.

"Um, um, could you please not tell Sonoko about this? I wanted to surprise her."

This guy held it in for ages and all he said was that one sentence. What an innocent virgin!

Kaoru Kazama sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Hey, you, wandering around here in the middle of the night, are you sure you're trying to surprise Sonoko, or scare her?"

It seems there are quite a few emotional idiots in this world. I remember Sonoko called before to say that the two of them were in a misunderstanding.

Then this morning while I was on the bus, I heard a lot about their daily interactions. In summary, Makoto Kyogoku is a total straight man.

He actually misunderstood Sonoko's expressions of affection for him as meaning that he had someone else he liked.

What's even more amazing is that these two people managed to maintain this ambiguous relationship for a full six months without ever making a move.

She was truly exasperated; what kind of emotional idiots were all the people around her?

Now that it's confirmed it's not Shuichi Akai, Kaoru Kazama should go find Jiro.

After all, if they wait too long, Conan's deductions might not be completed.

Chapter 278 The Allure of a Cross-Dressing Master

"Um, um..."

Just as Kaoru Kazama turned to leave, he heard Makoto Kyogoku hesitantly speak from behind him:

"I'm a little embarrassed, but could you please tell me the address? I've been looking here for a long time, but I still can't find the little cabin that Sonoko went to."

"No way?"

Kaoru Kazama turned around in surprise.

Is this really the same cold-blooded karate master? How come he also has a terrible sense of direction?

No wonder this thing wandered around outside for a whole day; it couldn't find the place at all.

"Of course, no problem. Just follow me. But I might need to go to the cemetery first."

And so, Kaoru Kazama, accompanied by a dark-faced bodyguard, went directly to where Jiro was.

"Wang Wang."

The moment she saw Jiro, she almost mistook him for Saburo who had run away.

The two dogs look so alike, they might be twins, or even more than just the same breed.

"Oh no, I forgot to bring dog food. I wonder if this guy will come with me."

Kaoru Kazama hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and spoke to Jiro, who was looking at her warily.

"Come with me, we need your help now."

At the same time, he tentatively reached out his hand and slowly placed it on Jiro's head.

Regardless of whether dogs can understand human speech, the fact that it didn't immediately pounce on a stranger is already a very friendly act.

"Host behavior detected. The cross-dressing master's charm is automatically activated, Charm +50, effective against all male creatures within a 100-meter radius of the target."

The system's cold voice echoed in Kazama Kaoru's mind.

She only resorted to this method because she had no other choice.

Who knows why the cross-dressing man's allure only works on men? Shouldn't this lazy system aim to appeal to both men and women?

It was for this reason that she specifically told Makoto Kyogoku that the dog was aggressive towards strangers and that he should not approach it.

If he were to be implicated by this, Kaoru Kazama really wouldn't know how to explain it to Sonoko.

It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.

She still has some integrity.

Despite its unfortunate target, the effect is still quite remarkable.

With a charm boost of up to 50, Jiro, who was originally very wary of Kazama Kaoru, immediately became relaxed. Not only that, but he also excitedly stuck out his tongue and tried to jump into Kazama Kaoru's arms.

If she hadn't dodged quickly, that tongue would have licked her face.

It wasn't that she disliked Jiro, but rather that making such a gesture in front of the grave of someone's former master was somewhat inappropriate.

So after achieving his goal, Kaoru Kazama stood up briskly and walked back without looking back.

Jiro, who usually wouldn't leave the stone tablet no matter what, was now following closely behind Kazama Kaoru.

Now she was even more certain that the former owner of Fukito Villa had definitely trained Jiro and Saburo specifically to protect the grave.

She glanced at it and discovered that the owner of the stone tablet was none other than Mrs. Reiko, the first wife mentioned by Grandma Chiyoko.

It's not hard to guess; he probably didn't want his current wife to feel uncomfortable seeing it, so he used this secretive way to protect his ex-wife's grave.

Oh man.

When they passed by Kyogoku Makoto, Kazama Kaoru didn't say anything, and Kyogoku Makoto automatically followed.

The main issue is that the two of them aren't very familiar with each other, and he's a quiet and reserved person, so there's even less to say.

Knowing that Kyogoku Makoto wanted to see Sonoko as soon as possible, Kazama Kaoru quickened her pace.

Although 3D mobility is not available, fortunately the cemetery is not far from the resort.

In addition, both of them were physically strong, and they reached their destination in less than fifteen minutes.

As the bright and warm house came into view, Makoto Kyogoku stopped in his tracks.

Aren't you going in?

When Kaoru Kazama turned around to open the back door, she saw that the tall, burly, dark-faced man was already standing a dozen steps away.
