The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

I just didn't quite consider Kazuha and Ran's feelings.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Do you guys think it was that teacher, Judy, who did it?"

Judy Kazama, an FBI agent, naturally knew what was going on.

Putting aside political factors, he can be considered Conan's teammate for now.

However, it seems more likely that the two of them have turned her into an enemy at the moment.

As a police officer, Kazama Kaoru could never explain such a thing clearly. In any case, the great detective's life was not in danger, so let him discover it on his own.

"It's not certain yet, but Hattori is right, she is indeed quite suspicious."

As Kaoru Kazama walked to the door, she overheard Conan giving Professor Agasa some instructions.

Have Dr. Agasa impersonate a fan of Chris Vineyard, infiltrate their group, and investigate everything about the star.

Poor Professor Agasa, at his advanced age he still has to pretend to be a female celebrity's little fanboy.

"So what do you plan to do? Go and investigate directly?"

"Let's do it this way. There's no time like the present. Kudo, you should know where this teacher lives, right?"

Heiji Hattori looked at Conan with a certain gaze, seemingly very certain that Conan would know the other person's address.

And so, the two of them happily went to Ms. Judy's house hand in hand.

Kazama Kaoru, of course, had no time to fool around with them and quickly ran to the Metropolitan Police Department to report for duty.

Then they put the Medicine Buddha statue into the police safe.

Although these items belong to Sanonji Temple, given that they are stolen goods in this case, they must be preserved and investigated.

However, I should still be able to make it to the consecration ceremony at Shanneng Temple.

In the office, Kaoru asked Ran for the phone number of Sannoji Temple and explained the matter to the abbot.

The phone had barely been hung up when Inspector Megure's voice came through.

"A fatal fall has occurred at an apartment building on Street 13 in Mihana Town. Kazama, Sato, and Takagi, come with me immediately."

"apartment?"

"Could it be at Ms. Judy's house?"

It would be a miracle if the two great detectives from Kanto and Kansai didn't commit a serial murder when they gathered together.

As he got into Sato's car, he called Conan.

"Conan, has a case happened over there?"

"Yes, but how did you know? It seems like this only happened recently, right?"

Conan on the other end of the phone was extremely surprised. He could vaguely hear Hattori Heiji's Osaka accent, so it really was the two of them.

"Never mind how I know this, listen carefully, stay there and don't wander off. Heiji Hattori, you two absolutely cannot leave the scene."

After saying that, Kaoru Kazama hung up the phone.

This left Conan on the other end of the phone completely bewildered.

In fact, Kazama Kaoru was too anxious, to the point that he forgot about Conan and Hattori Heiji's personalities.

Detectives like these, whose eyes are only on the case, won't be taken away even if they're beaten with sticks, as long as an incident occurs.

However, you can't blame her; it was just too dangerous for the two of them to be in Tokyo together.

Who knows if those two will suddenly run off to investigate clues elsewhere and trigger a series of murders?

This is never going to end. We just finished one serial murder case, and now there's another series of arson attacks. Let Tokyo have some peace.

The people of Tokyo are trembling with fear and misery.

According to surveys, immigration rates have declined this month, though it's unclear whether this is due to the case.

If things continue like this, she'll probably be close to resigning soon.

Kaoru Kazama, suddenly facing a major career crisis, could no longer afford to be a slacker; she was destined to be a hard worker.

"Miwako, drive faster."

"no problem."

Although she didn't know why Xianyu Xun was in such a hurry today, Meiwako, for whom speed was life, didn't care; as long as she sped up, that was all that mattered.

Chapter 402 The Glorious Years of Director Takagi

When Kaoru Kazama arrived at the scene, she saw that it was heavily surrounded by patrol officers.

Besides the two detectives, one big and one small, there was a woman crying and a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a hot figure.

A person was lying face up on the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from their head.

I heard he fell from the 21st floor and died on the spot.

"Excuse me, are you a relative of the deceased?"

Takagi took out his police handbook and stepped forward to ask the crying woman a question.

"That's right, I'm his girlfriend. I only left the room for a moment, but I never expected... I never expected Takai to... Waaaaah..."

Please accept my condolences.

With practice, Takagi gradually became skilled at comforting people, especially women, and was no longer the clueless boy who would be at a loss when others got emotional.

"So, that's the scene. It looks like he fell from a height and died. There are no other obvious external injuries on his body."

Kaoru Kazama did a quick check and found no bruises indicating suffocation or marks from sharp objects.

Neither of these two most common ways of dying in the Conan world could be found on the body of the deceased named Takai, so it seems that we can temporarily rule out the possibility that someone in the room killed him and then staged it as an accidental fall.

"You two, wherever you go, people die. Didn't you say you had something to do? Is this the kind of thing you're doing?"

"I was doing just fine in Osaka, who knew Tokyo would be so unsafe."

Hattori Heiji shrugged, indicating that it was none of his business.

He's not wrong; Osaka's crime rate is much lower than Tokyo's.

Therefore, Heiji Hattori has solved far fewer cases than Conan, or rather, Kogoro Mouri.

However, we can't make a conclusion based solely on this, since Conan is actually using Kogoro Mouri's persona.

Unlike Heiji Hattori, who relies on luck to solve cases, Kogoro Mouri, due to his reputation, often finds cases coming to him on their own.

After all, Uncle Mori is the famous Sleeping Kogoro, isn't he?

In comparison, although Hattori Heiji has the title of a high school detective, people often believe that age equals experience.

He probably wouldn't go to Hattori Heiji, a high school student, unless he was forced to.

"Let's not talk about that. You two should know more about the ins and outs of this incident than I do. Tell me about it."

Although the combination of these two is comparable to the arrival of death.

However, given that the two were the first to discover the incident and are also keen-eyed detectives, they must have many clues.

"Originally, Ms. Judy was planning to treat us to dinner, but as soon as we went downstairs, we saw the woman next to us, who was Mr. Takai's girlfriend, taking pictures of the dark building. We were wondering what she was taking pictures of so late at night when we saw Mr. Takai fall from the sky."

Is there anything else?

"There's another point of contention. Before you arrived, Mr. Takai's girlfriend made a definitive judgment that he committed suicide because he was alone in the room and the door was locked. However, we saw Mr. Takai's phone and discovered that he was on the phone with someone named Kawakami Noboru. Moreover, a minute before he fell, he received a text message from someone named Nakamachi. So there shouldn't be any reason for him to commit suicide."

"Kamikawa, bring me that evidence bag so I can take a look."

Kaoru Kazama took the transparent evidence bag and began operating the deceased's phone directly through the bag.

Sure enough, the evidence Conan mentioned was found on it.

Moreover, she sincerely admired Nokia's quality.

According to Conan and his friends, the phone fell from the 21st floor first, followed by the deceased, Mr. Takai.

A 21-story building, with each floor about three meters high, would be at least 60 meters high.

Despite its height, this Nokia flip phone only had a few scratches, which did not affect its normal use, and the battery did not even come out.

This isn't just impressive; it's downright ignoring Newton's laws.

Even if Newton has turned to ashes, he can still float out of his coffin and give you allergic rhinitis or something.

"According to you, this woman is a bit suspicious, but the most important thing right now is to bring over the two people who called and texted the deceased to get some information."

Kaoru Kazama summoned Wataru Takagi, the most hardworking and dedicated officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, and asked him to copy the contact information recorded on the phone into the police handbook before calling the person over.

After all, they are involved in this incident, so there's no reason to ignore them.

"Yes"

Takagi Wataru saluted, then turned and squatted in the corner to copy down the contact information.

This guy's biggest achievement during his year-plus as a police officer is that he fills up an entire police handbook every month.

I think I heard him complain about this to Yumi before, but she just said:

"These are all traces of your work as a criminal investigator; you must preserve them carefully."

Moved to tears, I began my journey as a connoisseur of handbooks.

It is said that Takagi would carefully wipe the covers of the more than ten police manuals that he had already copied, then wax them every morning and place them on the balcony with the best ventilation. He would then admire his beloved little black notebook while memorizing the materials he needed for the promotion exam.

He's practically a manual fanatic on the verge of becoming an expert, and has even corrected his sloppy handwriting for it.

This guy's plan was to wait until he became the Superintendent General of Police, then copy down all these manuals and publish them as a book.

The book is titled "The Glorious Years of Director Takagi".

As for Kazama Kaoru's reaction after hearing it...

Aside from the phrase "Go, brave warrior!"

All that's left is the lament that beauty can lead people astray.

With Yumi's mouth, she can turn white into black; Takagi has completely fallen into her trap.

The forensic team arrived a little later than Kazama and the others, since not everyone is like Miwako, who can drive a car like an airplane.
