The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

As for the fact that a policewoman who seemed like a mere decorative figure claimed to know the murderer, he didn't really believe it.

"No, she's not a simple person. You'll see as you read on. Let's be spectators for today. As a detective, you have to learn from other people's methods of solving cases so you don't get stuck."

"Yes, that makes sense."

Faced with his best friend's words of comfort, Hattori Heiji visibly calmed down.

He crossed his arms, ready to see how this policewoman would solve the case.

Kaoru Kazama, of course, had no idea what these two best buddies were thinking.

Now, all she cares about is the ins and outs of this case.

"Alright, now everyone can take a look. This is the scene at the time. Kawakami Noboru, Nakamachi, and the deceased Mr. Takai were drinking, with Ms. Shimoda accompanying them. Is that right?"

"According to you, the reason you left early was because Mr. Takai couldn't hold his liquor and got drunk beforehand, right?"

"kindness"

"Next, I'll need Ms. Judy and Hattori to help me with a demonstration."

When Kaoru Kazama suddenly called out to him, Heiji Hattori, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, ready to enjoy her mystery-solving show, was taken aback and was clearly not quite there yet.

In his opinion, as a police officer, Kaoru Kazama should have gone to the police for a demonstration, so why did he come to him?

"I'd be happy to help. What do you need me to do, Miss Officer?"

Compared to the stunned Heiji Hattori, Ms. Jodie seemed very warm and generous.

Whether it's true or false, it saves Kazama Kaoru a lot of trouble.

Kazama Kaoru's plan was to get the woman drunk and then have her impersonate the deceased, Mr. Takai.

As for the purpose, besides restoring the true circumstances of the case, it was also to test the FBI agent's alcohol tolerance and see if he might reveal the truth while drunk.

"Well, I never thought that I, a high school detective from Kansai, would have a day when I'm helping someone out."

Looking into his friend's eyes, Hattori Heiji clearly understood his true mission.

He was sent to spy on this suspicious woman in place of Shinichi Kudo.

Clearly, Kaoru Kazama's arrangement gave him a very good opportunity.

Heiji Hattori plays Noboru Kawakami, who makes phone calls to the deceased.

Upon realizing this, Mr. Nakamachi and Ms. Shimoda's expressions changed, and they subconsciously distanced themselves from Noboru Kawakami, who was standing in the middle.

As for Noboru Kawakami himself, he remained silent, watching the demonstration unfold.

It seems like something is brewing.

"Alright, that should be about right now, Ms. Judy?"

Kazama Kaoru's lips twitched slightly. This woman must be made of a vat of alcohol, right?

After drinking five small bottles of Japanese shochu, his face slowly flushed, and his eyes gradually became hazy.

Although Japanese sake isn't known for its high alcohol content, we should at least give it some face.

The idea that breast milk production equals alcohol tolerance is an unscientific formula that scientists haven't discovered yet.

"Hiccup, it seems, it seems about right."

After Judy let out a loud, alcohol-smelling burp, her steps became even more unsteady.

However, this state is exactly what Kazama Kaoru expected. Now it's up to Hattori Heiji to show his abilities.

Kaoru Kazama helped Judy to the bedroom that the police had arranged, and then casually closed the door.

Feeling the softness beside him, Kaoru Kazama suddenly remembered something.

It seems this woman is also Shuichi Akai's girlfriend.

I'm not sure if she's my girlfriend now or my ex-girlfriend.

His ex-girlfriend, Akemi, is now his boyfriend, and there's this woman now leaning almost her entire upper body on his arm.

This should be considered the second time that Shuichi Akai has been given the color of forgiveness.

I'm sorry, silver bullet, this is beyond our control.

After silently saying it to himself, he placed the rather heavy woman on the bed.

Then he placed a Nokia phone next to her pillow, and now it was up to Heiji Hattori to decide what to do.

Chapter 407 A Woman Who Defies Common Sense Physics

"You can begin."

Back in the room where everyone was, Kaoru Kazama nodded to Heiji Hattori.

This guy picked up his phone and started calling Ms. Judy next door.

They didn't know what the phone call was about, but judging from the expression on Hattori Heiji's face, the spying operation should be going smoothly.

"Chris, relay their conversation over here."

Kaoru Kazama said to Chris.

With the cheating expert Christia here, how could she not hear their conversation?

In fact, with his hearing, he could hear a conversation from 500 meters away if he concentrated.

It's just that this kind of eavesdropping is more exciting and more stimulating.

"Let's talk about the answer to that text message from earlier."

"Okay, but before that, can I ask you a few questions?"

The two seemed to be speaking in cryptic language on the phone, probing each other's identities.

After listening for a few minutes and finding nothing she needed, she stopped eavesdropping until a sharp, high-pitched cry for help came from the opposite room.

"Help me, help me, please come and save me."

It was Ms. Judy's voice.

Realizing the sudden change, everyone was startled and then ran towards the next room.

When they arrived there, they found Judy, dressed scantily, leaning against the window, looking terrified.

Of course, Kaoru Kazama thought this acting was somewhat fake.

This guy's adrenaline level didn't rise at all; his expression and voice were just an act to suit Kazama Kaoru's needs.

This shows that she had already seen through the truth of the case.

She seems to be a very intelligent woman.

Unfortunately, after being exonerated, or rather, after revealing their identity, their IQ seems to plummet.

It's rare to see a woman in Detective Conan who defies the laws of physics. Even after becoming Conan's teammate, she still can't escape the "big boobs, no brains" rule and is forcibly made less intelligent.

"Ms. Judy, are you alright?"

Unaware of the situation, Inspector Megure approached and inquired.

"I am fine."

"How could this happen? How did the bed end up in this position?"

Inspector Megure asked,

He noticed the change in the positions of the beds; the bed that should have been under the balcony walkway window had quietly moved to under the building window.

"That's right, this is the killer's method of murder."

"I think Ms. Judy probably held her phone outside to find a signal because of a bad connection, right?"

Kaoru Kazama said confidently.

"Oh, right, this is the 21st floor. The cell phone signal is very weak. I often straddle the window of the balcony walkway when I make a call because the signal is better there. But just now, when I was in the middle of a call, I realized that what I saw outside was not the balcony, but the sky above. I was so scared that I almost fell off. Luckily, I had this belt."

Unlike the irresponsible Conan in the original work, Kaoru Kazama didn't conduct experiments on the 21st floor, simply tying someone up with a rope as a token gesture and then leaving it at that, without even providing life insurance.

She used a specially made elastic belt from Professor Agasa to firmly connect Jodie's waist to the sturdiest part of the room.

Although she didn't think the FBI would slip up and fall.

"So you mean?"

"That's right, the murderer used this method to slowly lure Mr. Takai into the abyss of death while talking to him on the phone."

"As for the bed, it must have been moved while they were drinking, under the pretext of going to the bathroom. There's a clear outline left on the wall near the balcony, but since they assumed he didn't dare turn on the light, it's not visible."

As Kaoru Kazama spoke, she pointed to the wall in the corridor.

"Are you going to remain silent now, Mr. Kawakami?"

Kazama Kaoru turned around and questioned Kawakami Noboru, who had been silent ever since he started deducing.

"Your reasoning is brilliant, Miss Officer, but what about my motive? What was my motive for murder?"

“I admit that I did move Takai’s bed, but that was because Takai asked me to rearrange the room for him. I just didn’t expect that Takai would fall to his death because of it, and he didn’t even hear me tell him to die.”

As he said this, Noboru Kawakami's expression became somewhat smug.

His testimony was flawless. Takai himself was already dead, so he could defend himself however he wanted, since such behavior could not be used as evidence for conviction.

However, perhaps because he was so confident of victory that he lost his mind and said such a thing.

You see, this is in the world of Detective Conan.

If you remain silent, there is still a chance to overturn the verdict.

However, once the murderer asks what my motive was for killing, or where the evidence of my killing is, it is basically equivalent to admitting guilt.

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Kazama chuckled softly and waved the evidence bag at the seemingly composed Noboru Kawakami.

"You who just saw that photo should know that Takai grabbed the curtains outside before he died, right?"

"So what?"

Kawakami Noboru had a premonition that something was wrong, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

"I should have kept quiet."
