The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

However, it is obvious how many self-criticisms Takagi wrote afterward and how much salary he was fined.

Although it's unlikely that Kiichiro Numabuchi will be murdered, given his status as a serial killer, his crime of missing someone is no less serious than Takagi's.

"Honestly, why are there so many carefree and irresponsible police officers everywhere?"

"Is this the main reason why the police can't beat the detectives?"

Kaoru Kazama is now seriously doubting her career prospects.

Not only is there no future in it, but it also seems like there's little chance of making money.

Chapter 428 Conflict in the Magical World?

"Misuhiko!"

"Mitsuhiko, where are you?"

"Mitsuhiko, if you hear this, reply with one sentence."

After learning about Numabuchi Kiichiro's situation, Kazama Kaoru and his group officially began their search.

Finding a small child deep in the mountains is quite difficult, especially since it's already getting very dark.

So they didn't separate, but stayed together.

If Mitsuhiko isn't found, it would be even more ridiculous if a few more of these people went missing.

Fortunately, the watch-shaped flashlight invented by the doctor still has a pretty good battery life.

It's remarkable that Professor Agasa, who is usually prone to making mistakes, can still be of use when it comes to serious matters.

However, Conan's calls never stopped, but he never heard a response from Mitsuhiko.

As darkness fell, Mitsuhiko's situation became increasingly dangerous.

This forest has been developed by humans and cannot be considered a primeval forest, so there are naturally no large wild animals.

However, venomous snakes may still exist, especially at night. If Mitsuhiko accidentally steps on one, he could very well be attacked by a venomous snake.

If that's the case, and the serum can't be injected in a short time, this guy's life will definitely be over.

However, given Tsuburaya Asami's tolerance level and the emotional issues of the group of kids, Kazama Kaoru did not reveal the matter.

Instead, he privately asked a police officer to go to the Gunma Prefectural Police Department to bring over some medical supplies and common snake antivenom.

After all, it's better to be prepared. If something does happen, the chances of being rescued are greater.

"Who?"

Kaoru Kazama's sudden voice startled everyone. When they came to their senses and followed her gaze to the book, they discovered a horrifying truth.

It turned out that the fugitive serial killer, Kiichiro Numabuchi, whom the Gunma Prefectural Police had been searching for, was standing on the tree above them, watching them the whole time.

"crash"

Before Kaoru Kazama could even shout, Kiichiro Numabuchi had already leaped down from the tree.

Although his hands were handcuffed, it clearly did not affect his dexterity.

After quickly regaining his balance, he started running at an extremely fast speed in a very strange and awkward posture before Kazama Kaoru's whip kick could reach him.

"You stay here, I'll go after him."

After leaving behind those words, Kaoru Kazama and Kiichiro Numabuchi disappeared into the dense jungle in just five seconds, at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Damn, that explosive power is really extraordinary."

Although Kaoru Kazama possesses the physical attributes of Miyako, ultimately it is still the speed that a girl can achieve when she has complete control over her body.

If Misaka Mikoto's powers were still present, it would be possible to stimulate her muscles with electricity to achieve maximum speed in an instant.

But now, it's clear that he can't catch up with the incredibly fast Numabuchi Kiichiro.

This guy not only runs fast, but his running posture is also very strange.

If I had to say, it gives off a feeling somewhat like the Abnormal Beings in the world of Attack on Titan.

They ran incredibly fast in all sorts of strange and unusual ways.

It's highly likely that this is some kind of special power-generating technique.

There was no time to bring the 3D Maneuver Gear, so in desperation, Kaoru Kazama drew his Demon Blade, Thousand Blades.

After being infused with chakra, the blade of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades extended several times over, instantly reaching the back of Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Unfortunately, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades Plus version does not have a back of the blade.

So Kazama Kaoru planned to cut his calf so he couldn't escape.

"Swish"

"Chong"

I expected to feel the blade cutting into flesh, but instead it produced a metallic clang.

This was clearly beyond Kaoru Kazama's expectations.

Could it be that this guy even put on protective gear on his calves?

"No, don't come any closer."

Originally, Kiichiro Numabuchi was running forward without looking back.

But after Kazama Kaoru slashed his calf with the knife, the guy suddenly turned around and showed a terrified expression.

"Don't touch my test subjects."

A female voice suddenly appeared in Kazama Kaoru's ears.

Before she could react, she heard the whooshing sound of wind behind her head.

A sense of crisis sent a chill down her spine, and without hesitation, she immediately activated her Sharingan.

Then, turning back, he used the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, guided by instinct, to slash downwards fiercely.

"Boom"

"I never thought that someone could actually block magic with their bare hands. It seems that what Shatter said wasn't entirely a lie."

What came into view was a woman dressed in a strange way.

Judging from his voice, he looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, the person was completely covered by a black cloak, and even their face was completely hidden by the huge hood.

However, judging from her figure, she should look like a young woman.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

Holding the Demon Blade Thousand Blades horizontally in front of him, Kazama Kaoru suddenly remembered the mission hints from before.

I vaguely remember it being said that we would get caught up in the conflicts of the magical world.

In other words, this guy is very likely a magical girl.

Looking at the faintly red blade of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, and the sparks that scattered when he turned around.

This guy must have just cast a fireball spell on me.

"I just don't like it when people mess with my test subjects."

Their faces were still not visible, but a sense of willfulness could be heard in their words.

"What is this? Could she be a spoiled little princess?"

"Since you're being so impolite, then don't blame me."

Kazama Kaoru doesn't have the habit of standing still and letting people beat him up. Since the other party attacked him without any explanation, the best way to respond is to fight back with his fists.

She doesn't have the habit of using verbal persuasion on others.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

With a few quick hand seals, chakra surged to his throat.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kazama Kaoru blasted the massive fireball, the size of a washbasin, towards his opponent.

"hiss"

Even after spraying, my throat still felt a little uncomfortable.

It seems that ninjutsu requires a lot of practice; you can't suddenly use it after a long period of neglect, or your body won't be able to adapt.

She had just picked it up when she felt a sore throat.

"Oh ho ho ho, it seems I was right after all, you really are not an ordinary person."

These blatantly taunting words only fueled Kazama Kaoru's resolve to show no mercy.

The Fireball Jutsu was launched directly at the opponent's face, but it did not cause any effective damage.

Instead, about ten centimeters in front of the other party, it was blocked by an unidentified object emitting a fluorescent green light.

Based on her years of experience with online games, this should be the legendary mage shield.

Is the level of magic development in the Conan world this advanced? She noticed that Koizumi Akako seemed to be more skilled at making love-themed items. She hadn't expected that there were still legitimate magicians in the world.

Moreover, the "experimental subject" she just mentioned is probably referring to Numabuchi Kiichiro.

Chapter 429 Numabuchi Kiichiro: Forever a Test Subject

Kaoru Kazama was not surprised at all that the Fireball Jutsu had failed to work.

This ninjutsu is specifically designed to test an opponent's skills and reaction time.

Even in the Naruto universe, very few people would likely be hit by the Great Fireball Technique.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Fire Release ninjutsu has never actually hit many people.

After realizing that his Great Fireball Technique had failed to take effect, Kaoru Kazama stopped using ninjutsu.

She wouldn't be foolish enough to use her chakra to test how thick the other person's "turtle shell" was if she wasn't sure how thick it was.

Chakra is a product of energy extracted from the body's cells and combined with the spirit. Although it won't make you helpless when it's depleted, it's normal to experience mental exhaustion and physical weakness.
