In the end, Inspector Nakamori did not resign.
This is not because he caught Kaito Kid, but because... Kaito Kid did not come that night.
That's right, they wasted a whole night, but Kaito Kidd disappeared without a trace.
This left Nakamori and the others completely puzzled. They couldn't understand why the Phantom Thief, who always appeared on time, was nowhere to be seen this time. Could it be that he also learned the bad habit of standing up?
Only Fang Zheng knew that Kaito Kidd was not absent. Even if he came, he would not be able to appear. After all, he had beaten Kaito Kid so badly that he could not take care of himself and would not be able to get out of bed for at least three to five days. Unless Kaito Kidd planned to appear in front of everyone with a limp, it would be better for him not to show up. He could just say that Inspector Nakamori and Kogoro Mori had misinterpreted the code.
If you think about it, maybe that's why Kaito Kid always sends these crazy, chuunibaku letters? After all, if you write down the time and place, then if you don't show up, then you're standing him up. But if you write a code and don't show up, you can blame others for being stupid and misinterpreting it...
Anyway, you wrote the code, so you can say whatever you want.
So when Fang Zheng walked onto the plane and came to his seat, he just happened to hear Conan excitedly reasoning to Xiao Ai the true meaning of Kidd's notice letter, saying that he had seen through Kaito Kidd's tricks, and in fact Kaito Kidd was going to commit a crime on this plane!
but……
"It's a pity that he can't come this time."
Fang Zheng sat down silently, then fastened his seat belt and said something. After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Conan and Xiao Ai looked at him.
"Why?"
“It’s very simple.”
Having said this, Fang Zheng smiled coldly.
"I treated him to a meal of fried pork with belts. He won't be able to walk properly for at least three to five days. Unless he wants to limp out and make a fool of himself, he will have no choice but to go home and sleep."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
"I told him that if this little bastard dares to show up as Kudo Shinichi again, I will beat him so hard that he can't even take care of himself and even his mother won't be able to recognize him!"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Conan also shrank his head silently. He was sure that after being beaten up by Fang Zheng, Kaito Kid would never dare to appear in his big identity again. However... he always felt that Fang Zheng's words seemed to be half directed at him, after all, he had disobeyed Fang Zheng many times.
Who knows, one day Fang Zheng might give him a fried pork belly meal, that would be really scary...
"Since Kaito Kidd won't show up this time, we have nothing to do."
Xiao Ai seemed very calm.
"It's better this way. In fact, I would say you shouldn't have gotten on the plane."
"Is there any way?"
Xiao Ai knew that Fang Zheng was referring to his "Strange Theory of Science". To be honest, Xiao Ai herself now believed Fang Zheng's statement a little. Last time, she encountered kidnappers even when she was riding a public bus. It is not impossible that the plane fell from the sky this time. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Xiao Ai is not a gentleman, she does not want to seek death.
"Dr. Agasa and those kids have been invited, so I have no choice but to come along."
"Why……"
After hearing Xiao Ai's answer, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. Only Conan was still staring blankly at the two people's conversation, which seemed like a secret code, looking here and there.
"What are you talking about?"
"Haha, guess."
Looking at the culprit in front of him, Fang Zheng didn't want to say a word.
At this moment, the conversation between the two women sitting in front caught Fang Zheng's attention.
"What's wrong? Juri?"
"Ugh...I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked forward, only to see a middle-aged woman with short red hair sitting on a chair. Her face looked a little ugly. This person was none other than Makiri, the person to whom Kaito Kid had sent the notice letter before, and she was also a very famous drama actress.
Of course, she also thinks highly of herself and is quite arrogant towards other people. She is the type who wouldn’t survive a single episode in Conan… huh?
No way.
"Feel sorry."
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's mind moved, he stood up and walked to Mu Shuli's side.
"Ms. Juri, please let me take a look. I know a little bit about medicine."
"Ah, it's Mr. Fang Zheng, thank you for your help."
Seeing Fang Zheng appear, Makishu also forced a smile. After all, Fang Zheng was sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, and he was also the president of a large company. Although Makishu was a well-known drama actor, he was just an actor after all. He would never dare to show his displeasure to someone like Fang Zheng.
"How do you feel now?"
"I feel a little dizzy and want to vomit..."
"Shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat?"
"Um……"
"Are you too tired?"
At this moment, another actor next to Juri looked at her and took out vitamins from his bag.
"Would you like some vitamins?"
"Please wait a moment."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Mu Shuli in front of him. When he was the emperor, he also learned the skills of observation, auscultation and palpation from the royal doctors of the time. Now Fang Zheng put his hand on the table and took a look, and quickly found the problem. Then he moved in front of Mu Shuli, first smelled her arm, and then smelled her neck.
"Mr. Fang Zheng?"
Seeing this scene, everyone around was a little surprised. Fang Zheng's action was really too intimate for a man and a woman... However, Fang Zheng completely ignored it. He just kept sniffing, and then stopped in front of Miss Juri's cheek, and then his face darkened.
"Ms. Juri has been poisoned."
"Eh? Poisoned?!"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
"Luckily the poisoning isn't too severe... Can anyone of you help remove her makeup?"
"Ah, I'll do that..."
Hearing this, the actress who was sitting next to Shu Li also stood up hurriedly, and Fang Zheng glanced at her and nodded.
"Well, please be careful. The makeup she put on may be mixed with poison."
"Why?!"
The actress was also shocked by Fang Zheng's reminder.
"Is everything going to be alright?"
"Just wash it off thoroughly and it will be fine."
"OK."
Although she was a little scared, the actress nodded and looked at the stewardess next to her.
"Then please take us to the bathroom."
“Ah, yes…”
At this moment, the flight attendant was also frightened by the twists and turns of the situation. Seeing the situation, she hurriedly took the drowsy Maki Shuli and the actress to the bathroom, while Fang Zheng turned around and looked at everyone.
"To be honest, this should be the time for a famous detective to deduce something, but I'm not good at it. And I think at this point... I can guess who the criminal is without any deduction."
Just as Fang Zheng said, in fact, when he said that Miss Shuli's makeup was poisonous, everyone immediately cast their eyes on Maki Shuli's exclusive makeup artist. And everyone knew that she had just touched up Maki Shuli's makeup before boarding the plane...
"You, you mean I'm the murderer?"
The makeup artist also looked pale at this moment.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Haha... Miss, I think you are mistaken."
Facing the makeup artist's question, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
"We are the police, not detectives...Okay, stretch out your hand. I now suspect that you have a serious suspicion of poisoning Miss Makiri. Please cooperate with our investigation. If you don't cooperate with the investigation... then I think you know the consequences."
“…”
After that, the plane quickly flew back to Tokyo, partly to arrest the suspect, and partly because Miss Makiju needed to be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. As for the makeup artist, she didn't last a few minutes before she exposed herself. The reason she killed Makiju was that she had an opportunity to develop in Hollywood, but because Makiju wanted her to stay with him, she ruined this opportunity, so she wanted to kill him... It was really a reason that could work in any way, and Fang Zheng said it was meaningless.
If you are unhappy, just resign. If I am not welcome here, I will find another place to stay. Why do you make yourself act like a maid? Did you and Mu Shuli sign a contract to sell yourself?
After instructing Dr. Agasa to send Conan and Ai home, Fang Zheng brought the criminal to the Metropolitan Police Department, and after a series of handover procedures, he handed the frustrated makeup artist over to Officer Megure, and then planned to go home and sleep. However, at this moment, Officer Sato stopped him.
"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, you've come just in time."
"Hmm? What is it? Officer Sato?"
"It's like this..."
At this point, Officer Sato showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Actually, just now, a girl came to the Metropolitan Police Department to look for you..."
"Who is it?"
Fang Zheng was also stunned by what Officer Sato said. Xiaolan and Sonoko were on the same plane with him. If it was Shimabukuro Kimie, Kosaka Natsumi or Okino Yoko, they could also call him directly. As for the rest... did he know anyone else?
"Well, actually..."
Just when Officer Sato didn't know what to say, a girl rushed in.
"Let me go. Isn't that guy Fang Zheng in the Metropolitan Police Department? I want to talk to him and get things straight!"
"Who is this?"
Fang Zheng took a look at the girl in the sailor uniform and decisively said... well, he didn't know her.
And judging from her murderous look, she probably wasn't here to confess.
"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, actually she is..."
"You are Fang Zheng, right?"
Seeing Fang Zheng at this moment, the girl hurriedly broke free from the policeman who was holding her, rushed to Fang Zheng, and pointed at him.
"My name is Nakamori Aoko, and I'm Inspector Nakamori's daughter!"
