Chapter 110: Kaitou Kid's Cross-Dressing Habit

In the banquet hall.

"Kid, how did you end up like this?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at Conan, whose face was almost unrecognizable, "Did that thief, Kaitou 1412, do this to you?"

"Hahaha…"

Conan laughed like a child, "I just fell down."

At the same time, he kept glancing at Fujino.

Despite the torment, he had obtained the trick to seeing through Kaitou Kid's disguises from Fujino.

Just wait, Kaitou Kid!

I, Conan, will catch you and use my cute little sneakers to kick your butt to avenge the torment I suffered from Fujino today!

"Fujino-senpai, you're saying Kaitou Kid disguised himself as my dad and sneaked onto this ship?"

Next to him, Sonoko Suzuki asked Fujino in surprise.

"How could this happen…"

Hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki couldn't help but feel a chill. She hadn't recognized that her husband was actually Kaitou Kid in disguise from such a close distance.

"That's right."

Fujino nodded, "I noticed something off about Chairman Suzuki earlier, so I followed him… and it turned out to be Kaitou Kid."

"Then, Fujino-senpai, you must have confronted him, right?"

Sonoko glanced at the wooden sword on Fujino's back and excitedly asked, "Did you catch him?"

"No."

Fujino shook his head regretfully, "Although I grabbed his leg, he escaped using a smoke bomb and a decoy…"

"Huh?"

Sonoko's mouth twitched, "Fujino-senpai, you mean Kid… took off his pants to escape from you?"

"Indeed, he left behind a pair of pants, which I've handed over to the police."

Sonoko: "…"

She could vividly imagine the scene of Kaitou Kid, disguised as her father, running down the hallway in his underwear…

For some reason, the elegant and gentlemanly image of Kaitou Kid was gradually collapsing in her mind.

"What Kaitou 1412? His name is Kaitou Kid! Please stop getting it wrong!"

At this moment, a man's voice sounded.

Everyone looked over to see Inspector Ginzo Nakamori, who looked a lot like Kogoro Mouri, lecturing Kogoro.

Before leaving, Ginzo Nakamori patted Fujino's shoulder appreciatively, "Fujino-kun, if you find any clues about Kid next time, let me know."

Fujino nodded in response, "Will do."

"Damn it, Fujino-kun, who was that guy?"

Knowing the other party wasn't to be messed with, Kogoro Mouri didn't retaliate. After Nakamori left, he approached Fujino to ask in a low voice.

"That was Ginzo Nakamori, an inspector from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Division Two, specializing in Kaitou Kid's cases. He's been chasing Kid for over ten years."

"Chasing Kaitou Kid for over ten years and still hasn't caught him?"

Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched.

What kind of inspector was he? He seemed like an incompetent fool.

Chasing Kaitou Kid for over ten years and still failing, yet he had the nerve to lecture him, the great detective Kogoro Mouri.

Inwardly grumbling, Kogoro Mouri then asked Tomoko Suzuki, "But Mrs. Suzuki… among the five hundred people wearing them today, which one is the real Black Star? You have to tell Fujino and me so we can protect it."

Tomoko Suzuki gave Kogoro Mouri a meaningful look, then glanced at Fujino before taking a deep breath and speaking softly, "Although Mr. Mouri and Fujino-kun are knights protecting our family heirloom, the Black Star's location cannot be disclosed. We don't know who the thief might be disguised as…"

She paused, then continued, "But I can give you a hint. I've given the Black Star to the most suitable person."

"The most suitable person?"

Kogoro Mouri was still puzzled, "If it's the most suitable person, it should be a woman, right…"

"Who knows?"

Tomoko Suzuki chuckled, "If we're talking about suitable, Mr. Mouri, you're quite suitable too."

"This is confusing."

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, having no clue.

Fujino, with a deadpan expression, watched Kogoro acting clueless.

Could he really be that oblivious?

This behavior could make the client doubt the detective's professionalism.

"Kogoro-san."

Fujino intervened, "Since we don't know which one is the real Black Star, we just need to catch the troublemaker."

"Exactly!"

Kogoro Mouri nodded, borrowing the idea, with a confident look on his face, "If we don't know, Kaitou Kid likely doesn't know either. As long as we catch Kaitou Kid, the Black Star will be safe!"

At this moment, Conan, who had been searching for Ran, exclaimed, "Where did Ran-neechan go?"

"Ran must have gotten lost. She has a terrible sense of direction."

Sonoko Suzuki was well aware of her friend's poor sense of direction.

Though Ran appeared smart and did well in school, her memory wasn't great.

Not only did she often forget things, but she was also a notorious direction-challenged person.

"Sorry for being direction-challenged!"

Just then, Ran returned, her face slightly flushed.

Fujino scrutinized the newly arrived Ran, frowning.

This Ran was likely Kaitou Kid in disguise, right?

But something didn't seem right…

After some thought, Fujino activated his visual enhancement glasses and carefully observed Ran.

If he was wrong, it would be embarrassing to start a fight.

With one look, he noticed a subtle difference.

Hmm, this Ran wasn't Ran.

The disguise wasn't the problem, but the size didn't match.

To be honest, without the visual enhancement glasses and his past life memories, he wouldn't have believed the Ran before him was an imposter.

Confirming that the 'Ran' in front of him wasn't real, Fujino's expression turned strange.

To be honest, the guy was too convincing.

The height was right, the voice was right, the walking posture was right, and the demeanor was very feminine.

Kaito Kuroba's disguise skills were indeed impressive.

Especially in pretending to be a girl, he was exceptionally adept.

However, compared to Narumi Asai, he was still a bit lacking.

But seriously, why did this guy always like to disguise himself as a girl…?

It seemed he often sneaked into women's changing rooms to learn how to be more convincing.

Could he have some weird cross-dressing fetish?
