The cross-dressing master in the world of Detective Conan

"Really, Sister Xiaoxun? Are you sure he's not making that face because he's in some kind of predicament with the case?"

Even the smartest person becomes clumsy when facing the person they love.

The most typical example is the Kudo Washing Machine Brothers.

This guy's famous saying is: "Even Sherlock Holmes couldn't deduce the feelings of the girl he liked."

This should be considered the most direct confession to Xiaolan.

However, even his confession of love involves Sherlock Holmes, which suggests that his true love isn't actually Ran.

"That's right, I also saw Hattori staring straight at you. It must be because you cried that he was so flustered."

Xiao Lan also comforted her from the side.

Chapter 459 The Metropolitan Police Department's Third Trump Card

With the combined efforts of Kazama Kaoru and Ran, they successfully transformed the crying Kazuha into the shy Kazuha.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, revealing a triumphant smile.

Then, Heiji Hattori also showed a knowing smile.

Although I don't know what this guy was imagining, he should have realized that women are more important than solving cases.

Next, this guy will probably start to go easy on us.

Kaoru Kazama thought to herself with some uncertainty.

"I still don't understand why only these four building blocks are stained with ink. If we look at the actual building blocks without looking at the photos, we can see the words hidden behind them, and maybe we can find some clues."

Hattori Heiji suddenly began to loudly express his confusion, and then held the photos high so that the people behind him could see them.

Incidentally, to understand his intentions more clearly.

Even a fool could see from this series of actions that he was deliberately letting the opponent win.

However, Kazuha, who is single-mindedly focused on winning the reasoning competition, probably wouldn't be able to see it.

"So perhaps the message the prisoner wanted to leave us wasn't the ink-stained words."

"In short, you won't know unless you take it all apart and look at it."

Kaoru Kazama and Heiji Abdomen took turns giving their advice, and they had basically given very thorough reminders.

Kazama Kaoru glanced at the drawing out of the corner of her eye and noticed that Kazuha had already drawn a plan of the building blocks in her notebook, along with the corresponding Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana).

"Takagi, were there any conflicts or disagreements between the parties involved in this case and the deceased?"

Seeing that the people had already been taken away, Kazama Kaoru asked this question, which was more about the motive for the crime.

"Yes, the company manager is the deceased's ex-wife. The reason for the divorce was that Ai Nao had a new lover, and I heard that the two of them had a big disagreement over alimony."

"As for Jun Hasami, who is in charge of business, I heard that the president warned him that if this year's performance declines compared to last year, he would be fired."

"Kyoto Nakagami from the planning department also has the same problem. In the past, he had a very unpleasant argument with the president over the design of a new toy."

"Do you know the specific reason why the design of the new toy caused any unpleasantness?"

Upon hearing this, Kaoru Kazama suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"I'm sorry, Officer Kazama, all we know right now is that it's a design flaw. As for the specific reason, since he hasn't revealed it, we don't know yet."

"I see. What about the last person? He must have had a motive, right?"

The first three people had motives to kill, and Takagi showed no signs of stopping.

Therefore, Kazama Kaoru concluded that all four of them should have it.

"No, there was no conflict or dispute between the last vice president, Iwato, and the president. It's just that if the president dies, he will be the next president."

"Isn't it the president's son who should inherit it?"

Kaoru Kazama had never heard of a company being inherited by its vice president before.

In terms of their relationship, the president and vice president are just business partners.

"Because this toy company is a joint-stock company, if the largest shareholder, that is, the president, passes away, then the second largest shareholder, that is, the vice president, will automatically be appointed as the president. This was agreed upon from the beginning."

Kazama Kaoru understood after listening to Takagi's explanation that this company seemed to be quite loyal.

When the company was first started, everyone contributed funds together.

Then, regarding the issue of rotating the president, it has a bit of an "emperor's turn, next year it's my turn" mentality.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Takagi."

Officer Takagi is truly a friend of women; these gossips and disputes are very unlikely to come from the mouths of the people involved.

No one would be foolish enough to voluntarily reveal things that are detrimental to themselves.

Therefore, apart from those alibis that have been thoroughly verified with these people in the relationship.

These disputes and conflicts were all things Takagi learned by asking the old ladies on the street.

This level of efficiency, and this speed at which they reach out to the masses.

Without a doubt, he is already a specialist in this field.

"People die for money, birds die for food. Sometimes, conflicts of interest far outweigh those of emotions, which is not surprising."

However, we cannot simply conclude that Yan Fuchuang is the most suspicious.

"Hearing Takagi say that, it's really strange that a company where the president and employees each have their own ulterior motives can still have a steady stream of business."

Uncle Mori finally finished admiring the toys on the other side of the cabinet. After hearing that each of the four people had their own motives for murder, he couldn't help but sigh.

To some extent, Uncle Mori saw through the true meaning of life.

"I heard that these people often meet at the vice president's house and treat criticizing the president as a topic of conversation over drinks."

It's not surprising that a company with five people only has two small groups.

It's important to know that humans are the most complex creatures.

There's a legend that even a six-person student dormitory can produce five small cliques.

In comparison, these five people only have two opposing small groups, and there are no overlapping members, which seems much simpler, doesn't it?

"On the night of June 29th, the three of them went to the vice president's house for drinks as usual, drinking until late at night and then spending the night there. The next morning, the four of them went to work together and discovered the president's body."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

After recounting what happened that day, Takagi took a deep breath.

It's quite like the style of the father in Jackie Chan Adventures.

"Although it may not be relevant to this case, I'd still like to say something anyway."

"All four of them have a collecting habit. Ai Nao, whose hands and feet are easily cold, has collected fifty pairs of gloves. I heard that she always takes more than three pairs of gloves with her when she goes out."

“Jun Saeki, who loves watching movies, has collected a total of thirty pairs of sunglasses, including limited edition sunglasses worn by big stars.”

Takagi's voice sounded a little envious; she never expected that such an honest and unassuming person would be a fan of celebrities.

"The man who likes horse racing collects hats. He chooses hats that will bring him good fortune each time, based on the race schedule. I heard he has collected forty hats in total."

"I see, that's a great idea."

Uncle Mori, who also enjoys horse racing but rarely wins, had a look of sudden realization on his face.

It was as if they had obtained the true scriptures.

It's a bit ridiculous; is this guy really here to solve a case?

Fortunately, Kazuha didn't count on him, otherwise there would have been no hope long ago.

"Iwato, who often plays golf with the president, has collected thirty pairs of white golf shoes, all of which are limited edition designer shoes. I heard that he takes them out and takes great care of them every week."

No wonder these four people are so compatible; they all share common interests.

It's not surprising that the president, who doesn't have a collecting obsession and has a rather eccentric personality, is excluded from the small circle.

After all, Japan is a country that values ​​atmosphere very much, and the thing they fear most is not fitting in.

This is the only characteristic they inherit from their student days into society, besides knowledge.

"Then I'll trouble you to investigate the specifics of their conflict in detail, as thoroughly as possible. Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes"

After giving a salute, Takagi turned and left.

In this respect, Kaoru Kazama trusted Takagi quite a bit.

If even one middle-aged woman knows such gossip, it's practically the same as Takagi knowing it too.

The title of "Friend of Women" is well-deserved.

He was a deadly weapon carefully cultivated by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Besides Kazama Kaoru and Miwako, the two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, this is the third deadly weapon against criminals.

Chapter 460 The Mori Family's Rules

"What's going on? Why did you call us over so late? Don't you police officers let people get a good night's sleep?"

Nao Ai, who is going through menopause, is clearly very hot-tempered.

Because of the need to conduct an on-site simulation, Kaoru Kazama asked Takagi, who was investigating outside, to call over these key individuals.

There might indeed be a problem with the timing, since it's already 11 p.m.

However, according to Takagi, he found these people at the vice president's house.

They were drinking at the time, not sleeping, as the grumpy menopausal woman claimed.

"You guys all seem to have pretty good mental fortitude. Your boss was murdered, and you still have the mood to have a party and drink."

"Tch, it's not like I killed them, what does it matter?"

Upon hearing Kazama Kaoru's words, the expressions of the four people changed.

However, the older woman still stubbornly retorted.
