The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

This is the type who says one thing but means another; they might not say it, but they're probably secretly quite excited inside.

Normally, Ai, who has caught Kazama Kaoru's laziness, would never be so proactive about something.

"Welcome! May I ask what you need?"

The polite sales assistant bowed to Kaoru Kazama, and then, as she was about to introduce the dazzling array of bags to her, she saw Kaoru Kazama wave her hand and point to Ai, who was already swimming in a sea of ​​luxury items.

"The person who wanted to buy the bag wasn't me, it was her!"

Such a confident tone left the sales assistant in disbelief.

Are Japanese elementary school students' interests really this sophisticated these days? Are they starting to develop an interest in luxury goods so early?

My God, is Japan doomed to collapse sooner or later?

"No doubt about it, it's her. Just treat her like an adult. I'm here today to handle the card swiping."

The sales assistant's values ​​have been shattered, and she is currently in the process of rebuilding them intermittently.

However, Ai was already used to it. She had seen most of these bags in fashion magazines, so it didn't matter if no one introduced them to her.

Besides, if this sales assistant in high heels really did walk around her attentively, introducing the bags to her...

Then she'll have to worry about her neck, since always looking up at others isn't a pleasant feeling.

And you also have to worry about being affected by high heels, since height is a real disadvantage.

Kaoru Kazama herself had no interest in these luxury goods; in fact, they all looked pretty much the same at first glance, and she really didn't know how they could be divided into so many types.

Of course, in everyday life, we often carry a small backpack.

Inside, there were basically some basic cosmetics, tissues, a small mirror, and a mobile phone, keys, and wallet.

She is very different from ordinary Japanese women. If Sato's behavior hadn't been equally abnormal and hadn't confused the public to some extent, Kaoru Kazama's path to becoming a cross-dressing master might not have been so smooth.

After all, there is never a shortage of eyes that can discover secrets in life.

Chapter 330 A Man Who Truly Takes Responsibility

"Drip drip"

As Kaoru Kazama got into the car, intending to go home, her phone, which was in her jacket pocket, suddenly rang.

And it was the mobile phone used for work.

As a police officer, it is essential to keep your phone on 24/7.

"Mom, it's Aunt Miwako calling. I answered the phone for you directly."

Christia's voice suddenly rang out, but fortunately Kaoru Kazama had received special training and was not frightened.

"Okay, it should be a case involving the Metropolitan Police Department."

Ai was sitting next to him admiring her bag when Kaoru Kazama picked up his earphones as a disguise, but actually used Christia to connect to Miwako's phone.

"Xiao Xun, where are you right now?"

Miwako's voice sounded very anxious, it seemed that a case had occurred at the Metropolitan Police Department.

"I'm in Ginza, Tokyo. Has a case occurred?"

Kazama Kaoru didn't care about calling Christia "mother" or "aunt" anymore; a case had indeed occurred.

"A kidnapping has occurred at Beika General Hospital."

Miwako speaks very fast; if Kazama Kaoru had just arrived in Japan, he definitely wouldn't have been able to understand her.

"okay, I get it."

"Ai, I have an emergency here and don't have time to send you back. Why don't you come with me?"

"Didn't you already make up your mind?"

Ai watched Kaoru Kazama start the car with effortless ease and knew that she intended to take her directly to the crime scene.

"Well, anyway, Conan is always messing around at crime scenes, so you're much more obedient than him."

"Tch, I'm not like that childish brat."

"You're only about seven years old. If you mature too much, people will suspect that I'm abusing you."

While driving at high speed, Kaoru Kazama couldn't resist teasing Ai Haibara.

For the sake of the designer handbag, Ai gave Kazama Kaoru a generous gift and didn't say much in protest.

Although he usually drives slowly, Kaoru Kazama gets quite anxious when he encounters a real case.

Especially with the help of the artificial intelligence Christia, there were none of the usual problems like taking detours or getting lost.

"Is this the Beika General Hospital?"

Kaoru Kazama is quite a novelty here; she, Akemi, and Ai have basically never been here before, and they are all in good health, while the great detective is the exception.

I've had this problem countless times since I started taking aptx-4869; it's probably due to a weakened immune system.

"So they've already arrived. Let's go up too."

The smell of disinfectant filled Kaoru Kazama's sense of smell even before he entered the hospital.

Upon seeing the row of police cars parked downstairs at Beika General Hospital, Kaoru Kazama knew he would definitely be the last to arrive.

"Miwako, how is it?"

After taking the elevator to the third floor, Kaoru Kazama followed the familiar scent directly to the location.

The sense of smell can be quite useful sometimes, especially in places where everything looks the same.

"Why are you so late? We're just getting to the bottom of things. It's not too late yet. Oh, what's this?"

When Miwako saw Kazama Kaoru, she quickly came over to explain the situation. Halfway through her explanation, she felt her gaze shift downwards and she saw Ai.

“This is my sister, don’t worry about it. I just took her out to buy something and didn’t have time to return it.”

Kaoru Kazama waved her hand, not taking it too seriously.

In fact, the police at the scene had already learned how to ignore Conan and his gang of kids, otherwise the great detective would have been stopped outside the crime scene in no time.

Actually, the most dedicated person was Uncle Mori, who wasn't very friendly to Conan, and he relentlessly drove the underage Conan away from the crime scene.

Is this what it means to be responsible?

"The missing person is named Jun Kataoka, a seven-year-old boy who is a first-grade student at Teitan Elementary School. He was hospitalized at Beika General Hospital because of a sprained ankle."

"First grade at Teitan Elementary School?"

"Ai, do you know someone named Kataoka Jun?"

Upon hearing the news of the missing person, Kaoru Kazama was truly glad that he had brought Ai along.

"Yes, he's a new transfer student who recently joined our class. Those kids are pretty familiar with him."

Ai wasn't quite used to being treated like an elementary school student by Kaoru Kazama, so she spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"By the way, speaking of which, a group of children did come to visit Xiaochun."

"Then, do you still remember their names?"

"Because there are quite a few children and I'm rather busy, I don't remember very clearly."

"But I have a very strong impression of a little boy who looks a lot like my son. He's a little boy with glasses, but he's much more well-behaved than my son."

"I remember, his name was Conan, right?"

Kataoka Jun's father, Shigeru Kataoka, who filed the report, said this with a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Could it be that Conan has encountered a lookalike?"

Kaoru looked at Ai with a puzzled expression, and received confirmation from her.

“The new transfer student does look a lot like Edogawa, but I’ve had a DNA test done and they’re not related by blood.”

Ai's second half of her sentence was immediately covered up by Kaoru Kazama. Talking about blood relations in front of someone's father was a bit too hasty.

It's fair to say that Conan has a rather generic face. He already had Kaito Kid before he shrunk, so it's not surprising that he now has Jun Kataoka.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, Mr. Kataoka, please continue.”

Kazama Kaoru turned around and smiled at Kataoka Shigeru. Although he didn't hear it, perhaps out of a man's intuition, he subconsciously turned his head when Ai mentioned the word "DNA".

"Here's what happened. This morning, those kids said they were Xiaochun's classmates visiting Xiaochun. Then, because of work, I left the ward first. About a few hours later, I received a call from the nurse saying that she couldn't find my son in the ward."

"What about the area near the hospital? Could it be that some children sneaked out to play?"

Kaoru Kazama asked this question.

"We have searched the entire hospital and the surrounding area, but we have not found it."

Miwako had already searched several times before Kaoru Kazama arrived, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

"Ai, do you...?"

"No, the Junior Detective League's badge was sent to the professor for repair, and I don't have a way to contact them."

Kazama Kaoru was interrupted by Ai Haibara halfway through her sentence, probably as revenge for what had just happened.

If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, Kaoru Kazama might have actually laughed.

That smug little face of hers is just so incredibly cute!

"Ahem, I have an Edogawa mobile phone here, let me try calling it."

Kaoru Kazama coughed lightly twice, actually trying to control her emotions.

Then he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number in group S, but no one answered.

Immediately afterwards, Kaoru Kazama called the Mouri Detective Agency, and Ran answered the phone, saying that Conan's phone was at home charging and asking if something had happened.

Given that the current situation is still unclear, it's possible that these children simply went out to play.

Kaoru Kazama didn't tell Ran the specifics, only that he had something to discuss with Conan and told her not to worry before hanging up.
