The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

So, as a privileged user, Kaoru Kazama stood openly inside Suzuki's broadcast van, enjoying the night view above the Suzuki Museum with Ai Haibara through dozens of screens.

Honestly, there's not much to see before the main character, Kaito Kid, makes his appearance.

A huge crowd craned their necks, waiting for the phantom thief Kid to appear; this was probably the most smug part of the story for that flamboyant thief.

"Ha~~~"

Kaoru Kazama couldn't help but yawn.

The waiting time was so boring that Kaoru Kazama began to regret wasting his precious time waiting for Kaito Kid to appear.

"What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest last night, Sister Xiaoxun?"

Although yawning is rather impolite, obviously no one would blame a perfect beauty for that.

Or rather, they're too busy appreciating it to even notice it.

The "them" here refers specifically to the programmers who are typing away at their computers.

It was only at this point that they realized the greatest significance of touch typing was that it allowed them to appreciate beautiful women while working.

"It's alright, it's just a bit boring while waiting. How about I perform a magic trick for you?"

On a whim, Kaoru Kazama made this suggestion.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoxun, do you know magic tricks?"

This time, Sonoko is acting strangely.

As a loyal fan of Kaito Kid, Sonoko actually practiced magic for a while.

I also understand that the key to magic lies in how to cleverly divert the attention of the person being performed on, and how to use well-trained hand speed to achieve one's purpose during that gap.

This process is impossible without a long period of practice.

Of course, if it's just about learning a little magic trick to show off, that's a different story.

"No problem, it will definitely surprise you. However, this magic trick requires the cooperation of Phantom Thief Kid. You'll see when the time comes."

Kazama Kaoru had a strange smile on his lips, a smile that sent a chill down the spine of the great detective.

His manly intuition guaranteed that this great devil was definitely plotting something sinister.

In all honesty, Kaoru Kazama had no intention of doing anything to Kaito Kid. She simply wanted him to understand the price he would have to pay for wasting her precious time.

Chapter 418 The Mastermind and Phantom Thief Kid

Although Kaoru Kazama said that, so far everyone's attention is still on Kaito Kid.

I'm curious to see how he'll make his entrance.

It must be said that Kaito Kid is a master at manipulating people's hearts.

Kaoru Kazama didn't care that everyone was distracted, since she wasn't trying to get anyone's attention anyway.

As long as that guy who always comes out in a white suit to show off remembers it, that's enough.

However, from an angle she didn't notice, Ai's eyes held a hint of searching.

Time can pass quickly, or it can pass slowly.

Such sensory perception depends primarily on a person's reaction time to external stimuli.

For most people today, time seems to move very slowly.

It's fair to say that every single second that Kaito Kid appears is agonizing.

Among them, Mr. Suzuki and Inspector Nakamori were the leaders.

The two of them even had a minor argument, mainly about who could play a greater role in the battle against Kaito Kid: the old man's private team or Inspector Nakamori's police force.

Although, as a police officer, Kaoru Kazama should support Inspector Nakamori.

However, given the opponent's formidable record against Kid, Kazama Kaoru couldn't bring himself to say that this Second Investigation Division was stronger than the old man's private team.

However, this does not mean that the private team recruited by Jirokichi Suzuki is of higher quality than the police; in some ways, they are even far inferior.

After all, the police were at most infiltrated by Kaito Kid in disguise, but the old man's private team was a hot commodity for Kaito Kid, who had already been confirmed to have an assistant.

It's possible that Kaito Kid's assistant has already infiltrated this private team.

Kaoru Kazama stroked his chin, thinking...

Just then, a gasp came from the person next to him.

"He, he seems to be here!"

Just as Suzuki Jirokichi was showing off how heavily guarded his museum was, Conan pointed at the screen and said...

This one sentence immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Quick, zoom in quickly."

Mr. Suzuki also noticed the "shadow" on the moon on the screen in the very center.

Then he sternly urged the technician, which startled the programmer.

Then, with trembling hands, I zoomed in on the dark figure in the upper right corner of the screen, and sure enough, it was Kaito Kid.

Just as the announcement had stated, he appeared precisely at eight o'clock in the moonlight.

Kaoru Kazama noticed that the moment they spotted Kaito Kid, everyone in the broadcast van became highly focused.

Of course, Kaoru Kazama is no exception.

Although she wasn't particularly fond of Kaito Kid, he was, after all, the target she had been waiting for for several hours.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ai's short screams failed to attract anyone's attention.

At this moment, Ai Haibara is restrained by Kaoru Kazama's hand and cannot move.

While everyone was intently observing Kaito Kid, no one could save Ai Haibara from the clutches of the Great Demon King Kazama.

The above is a magical realism description; the actual situation is as described above.

Because Ai isn't as shameless as a certain great detective, she didn't stand among the adults.

Given her current height, she naturally cannot see the content on the screen.

Kazama Kaoru saw this, which is why he picked up Ai without hesitation so that she could see the situation on the monitor.

However, Ai Haibara, who has rarely had such close contact with others since childhood, could hardly adapt to such a posture, especially being picked up like a child.

The shame was overwhelming.

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around and watch the screen quietly. It's tiring for me to hold you like this."

"Then put me down."

Ai's short legs swung uneasily in mid-air, but she didn't kick Kazama Kaoru.

"Relax, relax, this looks more comfortable."

Kaoru Kazama didn't take Ai's resistance seriously. Women are all like that, saying one thing but meaning another, even little girls are no exception.

Perhaps realizing that resistance was futile, he glanced around and, finding that his actions had not attracted anyone's attention, breathed a slight sigh of relief before beginning to observe the Phantom Thief Kid on the screen.

Kaoru Kazama looked at Ai Haibara, who had stopped resisting, with satisfaction. That's more like it.

Children should be obedient and well-behaved; didn't you see that the great detective had already resigned himself to his fate?

Even if he were carried around, or even taken to the women's bathhouse, that guy would still be having a great time.

Of course, this is also a problem of moral integrity being compromised.

It's entirely innate; any effort later on can only catch up to a negligible amount.

"As expected, it's Phantom Thief Kid."

Inspector Nakamori stared intently at the image of Phantom Thief Kid on the screen.

I glanced down at my watch and realized it was exactly eight o'clock.

This guy's timing is amazing, he's a timing maniac.

However, what Officer Nakamori didn't know was that these were all special skills that Kaito Kuroba had honed at Ekoda High School.

Every day, I enter the classroom right before the school bell rings, not a minute more or less; that's a talent.

"The main character has finally arrived. Now we can just sit back and watch the show, but we also need to teach this guy a lesson."

Kaoru Kazama thought to herself.

However, he was also staring intently at Kaito Kid.

The helicopters in the sky and the police forces on the ground were all notified of the appearance of Phantom Thief Kid.

The general public is unaware of this yet, as without such high-tech equipment, it would be difficult to spot the Phantom Thief Kid at night with the naked eye.

"Hmph, this time I'll make sure this guy doesn't leave alive. Just you wait and see, Phantom Thief Kid."

Judging from Suzuki Jirokichi's confident demeanor, he might have just wasted a lot of money creating a bunch of useless equipment.

In this regard, Kaoru Kazama actually felt that Inspector Nakamori had more authority to speak on the matter.

Although their financial resources are far inferior to those of the Suzuki Group, the mechanisms designed and orchestrated by Inspector Nakamori are not to be underestimated because of the support of business leaders behind them.

Although, in fact, his greatest role as a police officer was to become a stumbling block for his own people.

The wind is quite strong tonight, and Kaito Kid's mode of transportation is gliding, which is most suitable for his appearance in this kind of weather.

Because the escape speed will increase to the maximum.

Of course, his cloak wouldn't be able to be blown up if the wind wasn't strong enough.

That would defeat the purpose of showing off.

"Ah, Lord Kid has finally appeared! I'm so happy! Lord Kid is the most handsome."

Screams erupted from the broadcast van.

As Kaito Kid's number one fangirl, Sonoko spares no effort in supporting her idol.

Beside her was Xiaolan's helpless expression; her best friend was good in every way except that she was a little too infatuated.
