Chapter 752 Hmm, very direct.

As soon as the four of them finished speaking, a cloud of smoke billowed out of the lounge, only to dissipate quickly after two or three seconds.

When their vision returned to normal, the people wearing platinum cloaks and nun's robes had disappeared, leaving only the window next to them open.

Kaito Kid, who always disguised himself as an ordinary-looking staff member: "..."

That cloak looks familiar...

No way?

Was he in cahoots with Mr. He and Teacher R?

Thinking about it that way, that 'Lady of the Sky' does look a bit like a magic stone fragment...

Kaito Kid has fallen into a state of numbness.

I did a lot of work, but ended up accomplishing nothing and getting myself into trouble.

Kaito Kid glanced at Ran Mouri and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her attention was on Conan and the others. Then he quietly moved toward the window as well.

Since the gem has already been taken, it's perfectly reasonable for this phantom thief to leave early, right?

As he was thinking this, he began to move his feet little by little, and then suddenly someone grabbed his sleeve.

Kaito Kid turned his head and saw Chizu's smiling face.

"......"

Qianzhu's smile deepened slightly. After releasing his sleeve, she silently mouthed a question to him: "Mr. Phantom Thief, are you leaving now?"

Kaito Kid immediately flashed a forced, polite smile, "..."

However, ever since the last time Mr. Chino disguised himself as Mr. Chino, he has had a slight psychological shadow.

And... how come these two really look alike in some ways?

Kaito Kid took a deep breath and reminded everyone present, "Everyone, we don't have much time left. We need to decide quickly whether to find all the bombs or abandon the airship and disembark."

As soon as he spoke, almost everyone's attention was focused on him.

Ran Mouri, who had been somewhat worried, felt a sense of relief and security upon hearing his voice.

Conan, sensing her change in mood: ? ? ?

“Even if we choose to find and remove the bombs, we don’t know how many bombs have been planted on the airship, and we might not have enough time,” Suzuki Jirokichi said, frowning.

"There is time here."

A cold voice followed immediately, seemingly in response to what he had said.

Everyone turned to look at Kawasaki Masuru, who was squatting next to the group of dazed mercenaries, taking out an object that looked like a bomb from the leader's pocket.

In the very center is a bright red number; one indicates the countdown to the explosion, and the other shows the current number of bombs.

41 minutes and 57 seconds.

35.

Almost everyone: ! !

"Also, there are a few more bomb locations here." A dark-skinned blond man squatted down next to Takamichi Fujioka, holding a piece of paper in his hand. "There's one in the restaurant, kitchen, smoking room, cockpit, and observation deck. We need to find the remaining thirty. And the bombs are very simple to construct; just cut the wire to stop the timer."

As the highest-ranking person present, Officer Nakamori immediately organized everyone upon hearing this.

The children stayed behind, while the rest of the children helped find and defuse the bomb.

He figured that since the other side had left clues, it meant they had given them enough time to find all the bombs.

Their goal was simply to manipulate them.

Although Officer Nakamori was furious, the most urgent thing now was to deal with the bombs.

Because he looks like a child, Conan, who was forced to stay in the lounge, fell into deep thought.

Would the people he taught really be so kind as to leave them hints?

"Conan? What are you thinking? Aren't we really going to help?"

Kawasaki Machi sat next to Conan, staring at him with her large, light purple eyes.

"Of course we'll go, but let's check out the lounge first."

Conan composed himself, nodded slightly, and looked at the Teitan trio who were also waiting nearby.

Although they're not great normally, these three can be quite useful in crucial moments.

After hearing Conan's instructions, they all nodded and then carefully searched the lounge, but found no bomb.

As for the one that Kawasaki Masuru just took out, he has already taken it with him and will inform the others of the time and quantity as needed.

After the people who went to those five locations found and defused the bombs, the numbers on them changed to—

38 minutes and 41 seconds.

30.

Debunking the bomb was indeed easy, but finding it took a lot of time.

After they defused all the bombs, the 'timer' in Kawasaki Masuru's hand also changed.

The quantity becomes 0.

The countdown stopped at 2 minutes and 12 seconds.

Finally, the group, who had been running around, collapsed onto the floor of the lounge, too exhausted to move.

Sitting in the corner, Conan's eyes looked a little strange.

Really... that's it?

Could there be another conspiracy at play?

This isn't due to Conan's conspiracy theories; it's mainly because the people in the church have never acted like the benevolent people their name suggests.

But if you consider that they did this just to fool them, Conan thinks it's not impossible.

"......"

Conan's lips twitched slightly.

Mo, Bei, Ye: Is it possible that the main body was on the airship, which is why it wasn't directly blown up?

Qianzhu sat at the table, propping her head up with one hand, her head slightly drooping, her face somewhat gloomy.

Kawasei Masuru, who was wiping the face of Shinji, who looked a bit dirty from climbing somewhere, glanced up at him, then stuffed the handkerchief into Shinji's hand and told him to wipe it himself, before getting up and walking to Chizuru's side.

But before he could get close, Qianzhu swayed and fell off the chair. Chuan Shengzhen quickly went over and caught him.

This commotion naturally caught the attention of others who were relaxing and taking a break.

Kawasaki Maru took out a new handkerchief from her pocket, wiped away the blood from the corner of Qianzhu's mouth, picked him up by the waist, said something to the others, and then took him back to the room.

Seeing this, Kawasaki Machi also got up and followed.

Although Kogoro Mouri and those close to Sentake were worried, they did not go with them because of what Maru Kawasaki said.

He said, "A large group of people crammed together can cause poor air circulation, so you don't need to come along."

Yes, that's very direct.
