The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

When Chris woke her up the next day, she found that she had already been covered with a blanket and was sleeping on the sofa.

This is the downside of not having a woman with strong fighting skills in the family.

Akemi couldn't lift Kaori Kazama, let alone Ai.

So, we had no choice but to let her sleep on the sofa outside.

Fortunately, the temperature is still quite comfortable, so I won't catch a cold.

Moreover, a soft pillow was placed under my neck. If I had been resting my head on the sofa armrest, it would have been strange if I hadn't gotten a stiff neck the next day.

"It's only six o'clock? Looks like I went to bed really early last night."

After yawning, Kaoru Kazama went to wash up full of energy.

As for work, I've long forgotten about it.

There's no need to rush to finish the report as long as it's written before bringing charges against the criminal.

Kaoru Kazama has always been carefree; otherwise, it would have become homework.

"Drip drip"

"I had just brushed my teeth twice when the phone in my pocket rang."

"Hello, Moshi Moshi, this is Kazama."

"Kazama, I have a task for you today. It's a very difficult one, and you must do your best to complete it."

"Huh? Why are they putting on this show so early in the morning? Is Inspector Megure planning something big?"

Kaoru Kazama received no good news from Inspector Megure's phone calls.

Either a murder has occurred here, or a bomb has been discovered over there.

Tokyo remains as unsafe as ever.

She even considered moving out.

However, this doesn't seem to be a sudden incident, but rather a murder case that Inspector Megure was handling previously.

Strictly speaking, those cases occurred at the end of last month.

As a result, there are still some things that haven't been clarified yet.

Therefore, Inspector Megure specifically asked the sleeping Kogoro Mouri to help him solve the case.

Moreover, the time was set for this afternoon, and he was originally supposed to accompany him the whole time.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department is holding a commemoration session this afternoon, and the time is yet to be determined.

As the most idle person in the entire Metropolitan Police Department, it would be strange if she didn't get caught.

And so, Kaoru Kazama, toothbrush in hand, listened to Inspector Megure recount the case details for over ten minutes.

Is he memorizing his lines, preparing to be Kogoro Mouri's straight man?

"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of it. Alright, that's all, bye."

Just as Kaoru Kazama was feeling a throbbing pain in her jaw muscles, Inspector Megure had finally finished recounting the details of the case.

She quickly hung up the phone and then finished brushing her teeth in no time.

Then he lazily lay down on the sofa, ready to take a nap.

That's right, it's catching up on sleep.

How can you do something for someone without getting paid?

However, if the person seeking help is your immediate supervisor, it would be inappropriate to ask for money or gifts.

So, Kaoru Kazama spent half a day taking a vacation.

Mr. Muguru, who needed her help, readily agreed and gave her half a day off.

However, it was so that she could study the case and cooperate with Detective Mouri in the investigation that afternoon.

Kaoru Kazama, however, used the time to catch up on sleep.

Solving the case can wait until later.

Such opportunities to take a legitimate nap are rare, so we must make the most of them.

It feels like you've woken up early in the morning, are brushing your teeth, and then see a notification in the group chat that there's no class today.

At that moment, you were actually ecstatic.

He didn't even brush his teeth on the spot, and went straight back to bed for a legitimate nap.

This kind of time, where you can sleep in openly on school days, is something many students dream of.

------------

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

After taking a nap, a refreshed Kaoru Kazama sat on the sofa at the crime scene, waiting for the arrival of the Grim Reaper trio.

She wouldn't stand at the door like a hostess, dumbfounded, to greet the sleeping Kogoro.

By the way, let's see just how bizarre this case is.

Why not just call her over directly? Why ask Uncle Mori for help?

Isn't this blatantly trying to turn the case into a cold case?

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

I had only read two pages of the file when there was a knock on the door.

It must be Uncle Mori and his group who have arrived.

At a crime scene cordoned off with yellow caution tape, no one would be foolish enough to knock on the door.

"Click"

"Sister Xiaoxun, it's you?"

"Hey, Kazuha, what brings you guys to Tokyo all of a sudden?"

Kaoru Kazama looked at the familiar dark face outside the door and asked Kazuha in surprise.

"Come in first."

There were quite a few people standing outside the door. In addition to the usual Grim Reaper trio, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha were also present.

When Heiji Hattori and Shinichi Kudo stand together, it's almost like the Grim Reaper unleashing his full power in Tokyo.

Chapter 456 Choosing Uncle Mori is tantamount to choosing failure!

"We originally came to invite Xiaolan and the others to go to Osaka, but we disagreed on where to go, so we decided to settle it with a deduction contest."

Kazuha waved her little fist at Hattori Heiji, indicating her determination.

"So Xiaolan and the others are the audience?"

"No, no, no, Uncle Mori and Ran are my reinforcements this time. Heiji, you'll be crying this time."

With the help of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, Kazuha appeared very confident.

However, they did not notice that Kaoru Kazama's gaze had become somewhat strange.

Based on this team division, Kazuha should be on one team with Uncle Mori, and Heiji Hattori should be on the other team with Conan.

With such a luxurious lineup, not to mention Kazuha, even Sherlock Holmes could put up a fight.

I heard that Kazuha wants to go to Takarazuka, while Hattori Heiji wants to go to Koshien Stadium.

Uncle Mori, if you want to go to Koshien, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?

"You two, are you doing this on purpose?"

While Ran and Kazuha were talking, Kaoru Kazama walked over to the two of them and asked in a low voice.

"No, she chose it herself. I didn't say anything. You can ask Kudo if you don't believe me."

Kaoru Kazama glanced at Conan.

This guy immediately spilled the beans:

"It was indeed her own choice, and Uncle Mori offered to help, so there was nothing we could do about it."

Although that's what they said, it was clear that both of them had a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.

With the two great detectives from Kanto and Kansai joining forces, no one can stop them.

Moreover, without Conan's help, Uncle Mori is a complete disaster.

Is there even a need for this reasoning competition? The results are already obvious.

Kazuha, you naive and silly girl, by choosing Uncle Mori, you've essentially chosen failure.

Moreover, there's no need to choose any old cases; just let these two guys drive around the streets.

Within ten minutes, a fresh and exciting murder case can be produced.

Of course, for the sake of Tokyo's safety, it's better to keep these two people here quietly.

"Seriously, did Inspector Megure know those two Grim Reapers were coming before he went to the meeting?"

Kaoru Kazama now strongly suspects that Megure's reasons for going to the meeting are not simple.

However she had her doubts, she still had to do what needed to be done.

Just like a well-rehearsed script ready to be performed, Kaoru Kazama began to introduce the case details he had been memorizing for over half an hour to these people.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is a residential building; it has actually been converted into an office.

Many companies do this now.

After all, not every company can afford to rent an entire office building, especially companies that are struggling financially and are even more short of money.

In comparison, purchasing a residential building under a company's name with a mortgage and then renovating it actually results in a fairly spacious interior.

Moreover, it can make the office feel like home, so it can be said to have multiple benefits.

"This murder occurred in the office. The deceased was the 53-year-old president of the toy company. This had always been his residence and factory. The estimated time of death was around 5 p.m. last Sunday, and the body was not discovered until around 10 a.m. the following day."
