The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

Although Kaito Kid is a thief in name only, he probably wouldn't do something like sneaking into a girl's room by breaking and entering.

After all, he was a jewel thief, not a womanizer.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

While his mind was filled with wild and imaginative thoughts, in reality, Kaoru Kazama held his breath and waited quietly for this person to arrive.

"Da, da, da"

It was the sound of high heels; it seemed a woman had entered.

Kidd should be at the venue right now, he couldn't possibly be here, and those shoes are about ten centimeters high, not Ran's style.

Aside from myself and Kid, there shouldn't be any other cross-dressing men in this area.

Chapter 302 I Have a Date with Sister Bay

"I never expected to meet you here, my angel."

The deep female voice had a unique charm, as if it had been imbued with the patina of time.

However, Kaoru Kazama's attention was entirely focused on the phrase "my angel".

If she remembered correctly, there seemed to be only one person who liked to treat Xiaolan as an angel, and that person was also a woman.

So it seems that the person who walked into Xiaolan's room must be Vermouth.

Kaoru Kazama's usually calm mood suddenly became a little excited, partly because an important character in the plot had suddenly appeared, and partly because of the thrill of eavesdropping.

Vermouth is likely a high-ranking member of the organization. She is an expert in disguise and is known as the Thousand-Faced Witch. She used to operate under the alias Sharon Vineyard. She is good friends with Yukiko Tengfeng and once studied disguise with her under the original Phantom Thief Kid, Toichi Kuroba, in order to play the role of a female agent.

Her disguise skills are slightly inferior to those of Kaito Kid, because Kid can change his appearance instantly, while she cannot.

She became acquainted with Ran and Shinichi Kudo because of the Silver Killer incident in New York. In order to lure out Shuichi Akai, she killed the real Silver Killer and faked it as a suicide, but was shot and wounded by Shuichi Akai. She was saved by Shinichi Kudo and Ran when her life was in danger.

From then on, she considered Ran her angel and showed mercy to Conan on several occasions in their subsequent confrontations.

She has a tendency to betray the organization, is someone the boss values, and is an important figure in the organization. She has confessed her love to Gin multiple times, but it is difficult to tell if it is true or not.

He harbors a deep-seated hatred for Ai and her parents' research, and has repeatedly expressed his desire to kill Ai.

It is speculated that this may be because she also took that drug, because at some point, Vermouth stopped aging and, in public, pretended to be Sharon Vineyard's death, reappearing in the public eye as Sharon Vineyard's daughter, Chris Vineyard.

Kaoru Kazama understands her personality traits very well.

Because I was once obsessed with this queen-like villain, I even went to Baidu to look her up.

The system ignores non-plot-related memories, which means she knows the important characters in the plot but is unaware of the current state of the plot.

Of course, even if she were sitting openly on the bed, Vermouth would most likely not notice.

This passive concealment skill, to put it bluntly, is like Conan reducing his own presence.

You see, Conan often does his deductions from extremely stupid positions, which is basically no different from being face-to-face with someone, yet no one can see him.

The same principle applies.

However, making a loud noise would attract attention, and if Vermouth escaped because of it, it would be a loss.

Regardless of her motivations, she was really looking forward to meeting him.

After a brief moment of thought, she smeared the makeup on her face and transformed into Xiaolan's appearance.

If the goal is to tease Bayonetta, then this image is undoubtedly the most reliable.

Moreover, she had just asked the system, and that contacting such an important figure in the organization as Vermouth would greatly advance her main quest.

Kaoru Kazama hasn't seen Gin and his old flame for quite some time now, and he's been missing them a bit. Now that Vermouth has come knocking on his door, he can't let her go.

Silently crawling out from under the bed, and relying on her invisibility passive skill, Kaoru Kazama brazenly walked past Bayonetta, crossed her legs, and sat on the sofa before deactivating the passive skill.

Then, in an instant, a small pistol appeared in Vermouth's hand, the muzzle pointed precisely at Kazama Kaoru's forehead.

"Isn't it impolite to treat the room's owner like this? Like an uninvited stray cat?"

Kazama Kaoru glanced at the concealment card in her hand, but didn't even look at the small pistol, as if it didn't exist at all.

"Accelerator Trial Card: One hour duration, grants access to all of Accelerator's abilities. Note: Accelerator's abilities are extremely powerful; please use them wisely, host."

With this thing, we wouldn't even care about a pistol, let alone a nuclear bomb.

Kazama Kaoru's nonchalant and carefree attitude secretly alarmed Vermouth.

With such a lack of fear, does that mean the room is already surrounded?

She couldn't help but think of this possibility. The moment she saw Kazama Kaoru, she was certain that this person was definitely not Ran.

As for her voice and appearance, she was a master of disguise herself, so she wasn't surprised to see this.

"No need to guess, why don't you sit down and have a drink? It would be my way of showing hospitality."

Kaoru Kazama stood up and calmly walked to the cabinet under Vermouth's gun, picking up a glass of chilled red wine and two stemmed glasses.

Then he returned to his original seat, the whole sequence of movements flowing smoothly without any pause.

It was as if the person pointing a gun at him was a real guest.

"I remember you like it with ice, right?"

Kazama asked a question, but his hands did not stop moving.

In contrast, even with her strong mental fortitude, Vermouth's expression changed for a fleeting moment upon hearing those words.

"It seems you already know who I am, so there's no need for me to hide behind this mask anymore."

Under these circumstances, Vermouth actually took off her mask, revealing a torrent of golden waves.

She shook her head, seemingly a little uncomfortable, but in doing so, she exuded her feminine charm to the fullest.

Kazama Kaoru noticed that this series of actions seemed to be unprepared.

However, her index finger remained firmly on the trigger, as she was afraid that if she showed any sign of distraction or shock, she would immediately fire.

Interesting, she really is a witch.

Removing the ordinary mask reveals an incomparably beautiful face, as if she were God's favorite. Her features are sculpted perfectly, and together they create a breathtaking beauty.

"I have already shown my sincerity, shouldn't you be more frank as well?"

After removing her mask, Vermouth's gun disappeared, as if she had truly given up on fighting back. She looked at Kazama Kaoru's face, which was exactly the same as Ran's, with a half-smile.

Well, since Miss Bei is being so sincere, it doesn't seem right for me to keep it a secret any longer.

Following Vermouth's lead, Kaoru Kazama also removed his mask, revealing his true face.

Then, this face made her freeze in place, even though she was about to fire during Kazama Kaoru's brief pause in her movements.

However, the surprised and puzzled expression disappeared, and he still showed the same expression as if he had everything under control.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Kazama asked a question with a wicked sense of humor, and to everyone's surprise, Vermouth actually answered.

"Of course you look beautiful, so beautiful that I want to save your pretty face and make it into my human skin mask."

As she said this, a flash of silver light appeared in Vermouth's hand, as if she really was about to cut Kazama Kaoru's face off with a knife.

“Miss Bei, you must be tired after standing for so long. Why be so nervous? You can sit down and rest for a while.”

Kaoru Kazama pointed to the chair next to her, then looked at Vermouth with an expectant gaze.

While hiding under the bed, Kaoru Kazama had already located Ran's location using his nose.

The moment she appeared and distracted Vermouth, her shadow clone jumped out of the window, still wearing her clothes, to find Ran.

She wasn't afraid of Vermouth shooting at her, but if she hit the shadow clone, that would be bad.

Although he was quite interested in the woman who had come to him, he didn't think it was right to let Ran sleep outside.

Chapter 303 So, you like me?

Perhaps in order to observe Kazama Kaoru more closely, Vermouth actually listened to her and sat down in a chair just a coffee table away from Kazama Takeru.

It's important to understand that when you get close to observe someone, you're also giving them the opportunity to observe you.

As a typical mystic, she would rarely do such a thing.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating her?"

If you didn't look at his face, Kaoru Kazama would definitely think that the person who said that was a great detective.

The tone was far too righteous and indignant; could such words really come from the ruthless villain, Bayonetta?

"Who I am is not important. If you are interested, you can use the organization behind you to investigate my identity."

Kaoru Kazama's expression was casual, as if the person sitting in front of him was not the villain Vermouth, but an old friend who wanted to chat with him.

This fact secretly alarmed Vermouth.

These people who dwell in darkness all possess a special aura.

That chilling coldness emanating from within was like a venomous snake living in the darkness, ready to leap out and bite you at any moment.

Just by looking at Gin's audacious and exaggerated murderous aura, you can tell that this big shot once managed to stop a truck driver from running a red light with just a glance.

Although the example isn't particularly impressive, it at least illustrates that most people would absolutely not want to have any contact with them.

Now, Vermouth has almost completely revealed her temperament, and Kaoru Kazama's expression hasn't changed at all.

Is this person's heart really made of stone?

Kaoru Kazama is just naturally ditzy. She's probably the only person in the world who would dare to daydream while sitting across from Vermouth.

She wasn't worried about her appearance being exposed to the Dark Organization. With the Sharingan, such a useful memory-erasing device, she had nothing to fear.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. There's still plenty of time. My purpose... you can take your time to figure it out."

Kaoru Kazama paused here, unsurprisingly attracting Vermouth's attention.

A woman's curiosity can kill a cat, and Bei Ge is no ordinary woman.

While practicing mysticism, she also had an extraordinary interest in other people's secrets.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if she really needed to know something, she would usually resort to gunfire to force her to reveal it.
