The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

To be honest, if we disregard the mindless revenge aspect, Shigu Guofan was actually a good friend to some extent.

There are countless cases of school bullying in Japan, so it is not uncommon for students to suffer from depression or even commit suicide.

However, very few friends or classmates were willing to step forward.

Even though two years have passed and rumors are circulating on campus that Hideaki Hosaka was tricked into dying, the incident has not been resolved.

However, Shigu Guofan did not stand idly by; instead, he chose to find the truth in his own way.

Although this method is somewhat simplistic and crude.

Moreover, it made the campus atmosphere and atmosphere terrifying, but his willingness to go to great lengths for his friends is still commendable.

Kaoru Kazama only gave him a verbal warning and then let him leave.

After all, this kid is at a crucial stage in his college entrance exams. If he's really locked up in a detention center for more than ten days, it could have a huge impact on his exams, which would be terrible.

As for Mononobe Masao, this whole thing had nothing to do with him.

I spent two whole years feeling guilty towards Hideaki Hosaka; that should be enough as atonement.

Especially when this guy heard what Dr. Araide said about what Hideaki Hosaka was muttering to himself before he died.

That feeling and realization should help him let go of his guilt and start a new life.

"I never imagined that the truth behind paranormal events would be like this."

Sonoko, who had a great interest in paranormal events, found herself somewhat bored after learning the whole story.

Perhaps in her mind, paranormal events are still the most interesting.

Once the veil of mystery was lifted, the simple and brutal truth could no longer satisfy her extraordinary curiosity, which surpassed that of most women.

"Isn't this great? It would be perfect if there were no paranormal events."

Compared to her best friend, Xiaolan felt a complete sense of relief.

Despite her superior karate skills, when it comes to things like gods and ghosts, her fighting ability and intelligence both drop to zero.

This result is actually quite good for her.

"What really leaves me speechless is how bored you high school students are that you can turn such a small thing into a supernatural event."

Kaoru Kazama retorted with the air of someone who'd been there.

"Who can blame us for having such a boring and dull school life? Speaking of which, it seems like the midterm exams are coming up again soon. There are so many worries for girls."

Sonoko clutched her cheeks and wailed in pain.

For someone like her, who falls somewhere between a poor student and a top student, the constant struggle between giving up and trying to save herself during exams is a feeling that most people couldn't bear.

"Rather than this, I really wish some paranormal events could distract me."

"Really? I heard there's been talk of a haunted apartment building lately, and someone even called the police. I might have to go investigate it soon. Sonoko, do you want to come with me? It'll cheer you up!"

"Never mind, I was just saying."

Sonoko is a little braver than Ran, but only by a little bit.

It did not go beyond the scope of high school girls.

Where did this paranormal incident originate? Has anyone already reported it to the police?

Compared to these two timid high school girls, Conan, an elementary school student, is much braver.

Kaoru Kazama's curiosity was piqued.

It seems he's been holding back because he failed to deduce the answer this time.

Chapter 450 Showing off depends on the occasion

"It seems to be an old apartment building in Mihua Town. Because it is quite old, the facilities are outdated, and the residents are a mixed bunch. It seems that the developer has not carried out any maintenance for several years."

"Oh, it's in Mihua Town? Is that very close to us?"

Xiaolan's biggest worry is that the haunted place will happen near her home.

As for other places, she didn't have the courage to explore them.

"Probably not. Those old-style apartment buildings are all on the outskirts of town, in rather remote areas. I'm sure you wouldn't run into them, Xiaolan."

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

Hearing Kaoru Kazama's words, Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, if the residents over there hire a detective to solve the problem privately, it might still get you involved. That's just how it is, since your father is a famous detective in Tokyo."

Kaoru Kazama spread his hands, looking completely innocent, and said...

This successfully caused the girl's expression to contort in terror.

Teasing teenage girls is a very enjoyable thing.

For male animals, this is not subject to age.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Although this situation does exist, the possibility is still very small. I'll try to resolve it before they call the detective, but before that, I have other things to do."

Kaoru Kazama's voice gradually approached, becoming a murmured monologue.

Neither Conan nor Ran heard it clearly.

She was actually talking about Miwako's arranged marriage.

Time flies, and although there are still a few days left, it doesn't stop her from starting to prepare for the weekend now.

"Ran, you go back and cook first. I need to talk to Conan about something. I'll bring it back to you when I'm done."

Kaoru Kazama simply lured Conan into the car, and then drove away at Ran's earnest urging.

"What do you want from me? Why are you looking for me so suddenly?"

The great detective was quite self-aware; as soon as he got on the bus, he found the most comfortable spot and put his arms around his shoulders.

Although his feet didn't touch the ground, he still crossed his legs with an air of superiority, looking extremely irritating.

"It's nothing, I just felt like asking about your studies and life."

"Next, we'll go to Teitan Elementary School."

"Hey, you're not serious, are you? Today is a school holiday, there are no students in the school except for the teachers."

"Are you addicted to going to school?"

The great detective recklessly speculated on Kazama Kaoru's true intentions.

However, Kaoru Kazama, who was the subject of speculation, remained as steady as a mountain, sitting in the driver's seat and driving without even turning his head.

It was as if those malicious, scrutinizing glances didn't exist.

Actually, she was thinking about how to get close to Conan's homeroom teacher, who was also Officer Shiratori's first love—Ms. Kobayashi Tsukihime, in the most reasonable way.

The character of Ms. Kobayashi, as seen in the anime, is an extremely dedicated and responsible teacher.

Moreover, he is very passionate about the teaching profession, and even goes so far as to change his gentle personality and force himself to be strict with his students in order to teach them well.

Although she is seen by her students as a strict teacher with a "tiger mom" personality, in real life she is a gentle and kind homebody.

It's safe to say that assigning this role to Officer Shiratori was a perfect fit.

Not to mention that the two had a previous encounter.

Isn't this the most popular kind of romance in the Conan world—a romance that grows up from childhood? Throughout the entire anime, apart from the three official childhood sweetheart pairs...

In addition, the Mori couple were childhood sweethearts, and Professor Agasa and his first love were also childhood sweethearts.

And that person has been waiting for him persistently until now.

You could say she was incredibly devoted.

Whenever he thought of this, Kaoru Kazama couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful.

Why didn't I have a childhood sweetheart? And instead, I became a cross-dressing master.

Compared to those time-traveling male protagonists who reign supreme, I seem rather pathetic.

Not only was his dream of building a harem shattered, but his tools of the trade were also confiscated, and he even faced the risk of being raped.

Life is so difficult.

"Hey, I've been calling you for ages, are you spacing out or thinking?"

The detective's youthful voice brought Kaoru Kazama back to reality from her reverie.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things. You wouldn't understand, you're just a child."

Kazama Kaoru glanced at the great detective, whose neck was red from shouting, and gave him a habitual look of disdain.

This is a fine tradition in their family, and she and Ai have maintained it very well to this day.

Only the gentle and kind-hearted Akemi has not yet been successfully reformed, clinging to the great detective's life-saving grace.

God knows, with Kaoru Kazama involved, he had long since become a messenger.

The rescue plan's success was entirely due to Kazama Kaoru's superb disguise skills and her incredibly dramatic acting.

It's not an easy task to fool the cunning and calculating Gin.

"Tch, you haven't explained yourself yet, and you suddenly dragged me into the car. What are you trying to do? And are we really going to Teitan Elementary School?"

Even the fearless detective Conan has something he's afraid of.

That is, having someone who knows your true identity know about your behavior at school.

It's not because he's not studying or behaving well.

However, I am someone who was once seventeen years old and is now seven years old.

It would be very embarrassing for people to know that I was just learning to speak in elementary school.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to the parent-teacher conference for you. You don't need to look at me like that. I just have some personal things to take care of, and I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I don't have time to deal with your trivial matters."

"What kind of matter is it? Is it a very important case?"

"It's a bad habit for children to pry into adults' affairs without permission. I suggest you correct it."
