"Eh? Bacteria?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Fang Zheng's words. They had never imagined that the deadly bacteria that had been stolen would be spread on the flying ship...
"That's right. So, just to be on the safe side... Ran, Sonoko, take the kids back to their rooms and isolate yourself. As for Uncle Mori..."
Fang Zheng glanced at Kogoro Maori who was sleeping soundly.
"Forget it, just let him sleep."
“…”
Hearing this, everyone became extremely uneasy. However, at this moment, a reporter who was with them suddenly covered his throat in pain.
“Wu…Wuwaaa!! Help, help!!”
Hearing the reporter's scream, everyone turned their heads hurriedly, and then a shocking scene appeared - the reporter was covered with red rashes all over his body and face, he was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he opened his hands and touched towards other people.
"Please, save me, save me..."
Seeing the reporter begging for help in pain, the others instinctively retreated. After all, they had just learned about the deadly bacteria, and the symptoms of this man were almost exactly the same as when he was infected with the bacteria!
“Save me!!”
At this moment, the reporter was also extremely anxious. He rushed towards the crowd and grabbed Fang Zheng directly. Fang Zheng dodged his grab by leaning sideways, then hit the man on the neck with his backhand. The next moment, the man fainted without a word. Then Fang Zheng squatted down, felt the man's pulse, and then... took out handcuffs from his pocket and handcuffed him with a "click".
"Why?"
Seeing Fang Zheng's strange behavior, everyone present was stunned.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Xiaolan also came up and asked in confusion, while Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Nothing, just in case, actually..."
"Don't move!"
However, before Fang Zheng finished speaking, he saw a guy wearing a bulletproof vest and dressed like a soldier in the anti-terrorist force rushing in with a submachine gun and aiming at everyone. Almost at the same time, Fang Zheng reached into his arms, took out a pistol and aimed at the guy in black.
"Put down your weapons!"
At this moment, another man without a hood walked in, holding a pistol smugly and looking at Jiroji.
"How's it going? Did you find the ampoule?"
"So you are the red cat with low IQ?"
Hearing the other party's question, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, then moved his pistol and aimed at the other party.
"I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, bullets will not have eyes."
"snort."
In response to Fang Zheng's words, the other party sneered and raised his pistol to aim at Fang Zheng.
"We have placed a bomb inside this ship. As long as you behave, we won't detonate it..."
However, before the man could finish his words, he saw Fang Zheng raise the hand that was not holding the gun and press a button.
“——!!”
With a burst of shrill noise, everything returned to silence.
"You still want to blow up the spaceship? Impossible. We have already installed a powerful jammer on this spaceship... Well, it's not for you though."
Fang Zheng chuckled and threw the remote control in his hand to the ground. Taking into account that Kidd had a history of several explosions, he specially installed powerful jammers in important locations throughout the airship. Once turned on, all detonation signals would be invalid - he didn't expect that it would come in handy here.
But as long as it works, it's fine.
"you……!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the man's expression changed slightly. He immediately reached out and took out a remote control from his pocket. He took a look at the dim signal light on it and his expression changed drastically.
"you……!"
"So don't just follow others and become a thief. Now, put down your weapons and surrender. I can still leave you with an intact body."
"Huh, do you think this is the end?"
Facing Fang Zheng's sarcasm, the man's expression changed again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out an ampoule from his arms.
"What's in there is deadly bacteria! I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender. By then, not only the smoking room, but the entire cabin will be filled with killer bacteria! None of you can escape!"
"Alas--!!"
Hearing the man's threat, the others were so scared that they stood still, not daring to act rashly, but Fang Zheng...
“Hahahaha, hahahaha… He’s really at an elementary school level. I’m afraid he hasn’t even graduated from high school.”
Fang Zheng was almost laughing madly.
"why are you laughing!?"
Seeing Fang Zheng laughing wildly, as if he had heard a joke, the man also roared. Only then did Fang Zheng stop laughing and look at him with a weird smile.
"Listen carefully. I need to teach you some scientific knowledge. If the bacteria you are holding were indeed stolen from the National Institute of Microbiology, then we would have been infected by now, and no one would be spared."
"Why?!"
Fang Zheng's words were like thunder out of the blue, shocking everyone, and Jirokichi stared at Fang Zheng in amazement.
"But, didn't the other party say that this kind of bacteria is only released in the smoking room?"
"Because of the central air conditioning, Mr. Jirokichi."
Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly.
"Although the TV said that this bacteria is spread through droplets, that is only limited to the state of human infection. The bacteria itself is a highly purified sample. The air circulation in the smoking room also relies on central air conditioning. It can be said that if the other party really put this kind of bacteria in the smoking room, everyone on the flying ship would have been infected by now."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the man with a smile again.
"So in my opinion, this guy's behavior is as ridiculous as standing on a burning boat with gasoline and shouting, 'Don't come over, or I'll set it on fire. Besides..."
The muzzle of Fang Zheng's gun was aimed at the man motionlessly.
"I'm very curious... Americans dare to take a can of laundry detergent and call it a weapon of mass destruction, what is in your green stuff, wind essential oil?"
“Woo…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's ridicule, the man's face suddenly changed. He stared at Fang Zheng fiercely, not knowing what to do for a moment. He originally thought that as long as he took out this bottle of "deadly bacteria", everyone would obey him obediently. He never expected that such an unreasonable person would appear, leaving the man at a loss as to what to do for a moment.
At this moment, one of the waitresses not far behind Fang Zheng slowly reached her hand into her pocket, and then suddenly raised it towards Fang Zheng!
"Bang!!"
However, as the gunshots rang out again, the waitress fell to the ground screaming, and the gun in her hand was directly smashed into pieces.
"Haaa...Mr. Jiroyoshi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should at least do a good job of certifying your employees."
Fang Zheng pointed a gun at the man in front of him with one hand, and with his other hand he pointed another gun at the waitress behind him, while at the same time he did not forget to talk to Jiroji beside him.
"Look at your ship. It's almost been infiltrated like a sieve by these things. As the saying goes, it's hard to prevent thieves at home even if you guard against them day and night. No matter how good the equipment is, if you have a bunch of traitors controlling it, it will be ruined, right?"
"Ah...haha, sorry..."
Jiroji was also very embarrassed at this moment, not knowing what to say. At this moment, the host and the photographer who were supposed to interview Jiroji, who were sitting not far behind him, exchanged glances, then suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Jiroji, and took out the pistol in their arms!
“Bang, bang!!”
The gunshots that rang out again startled everyone. They looked at the photographer and the host who were lying on the ground covering their hands, then looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mira standing by the window, holding a smoking pistol in each hand, looking at everyone triumphantly.
"I never thought there really was a traitor. Hey, don't forget about me!"
"Ms. Mira?!"
Looking at Mira who was holding a pistol smugly, Xiaolan and Sonoko were also stunned. They didn't expect that this princess - oh, no, it should be said that Her Majesty the Queen - had such ability.
In fact, Fang Zheng only found out about the princess's abilities after dating Mira. She liked playing video games, but later felt that playing video games was not enough so she started shooting real guns. The princess's shooting skills are top-notch. To make an analogy, if the princess was put in a western cowboy movie, she would be able to draw her gun and shoot much faster than the most powerful cowboy in the movie.
It can be said that Xiaolan maxed out her close-range attack, while Mira maxed out her long-range attack...
When Fang Zheng saw the ampoule under the smoking room, he knew there must be a traitor, so he asked Mira to hide aside and observe so that she could be ready to take action at any time. Now it seems that his idea is obviously correct.
"Okay, now do you want to surrender? Or do you want to die?"
Fang Zheng only glanced at the reporter and photographer lying on the ground, then retracted his gaze and looked at the man in front of him. At this moment, Mira also raised two guns and aimed at him - the photographer and reporter she had just knocked down were immediately controlled by Jiroji's bodyguards and no longer posed a threat.
"hateful!!"
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and there were two perverts on the opposite side who shot very quickly. The man hesitated again and again, and finally threw the gun in his hand to the ground in anger.
Things shouldn't be like this!
In their imagination, they could use this bottle of "lethal potion" to control everyone on the flying ship and then proceed smoothly according to the plan. But how come it turned out like this right at the beginning?
"You all need to gather here!"
“…”
Even though he was very unhappy, but now...he could only accept the defeat.
"Who are you?"
He obediently disarmed himself and handed the wind essential oil in his hand to Fang Zheng. The man stared at him and asked, but in response to the man's question, Fang Zheng just smiled slightly while holding the wind essential oil.
"I'm bond, James Bond."
Soon, six fully armed soldiers were detained by Fang Zheng. According to the man in charge, they were hired mercenaries, and the ones who hired them were the reporters, photographers and hosts who had fallen there. They were not members of the Red Siamese Cats, they just used the name as a cover. In fact, they pretended to rob the deadly bacteria for their theft plan - but they didn't expect to be caught as soon as they arrived.
This is really tragic for them.
The members of the theft gang over there were even more unbearable. They confessed their criminal plans in no time. After learning about the situation, Fang Zheng also called Officer Megure and asked him to capture the remnants of the criminal organization on the ground.
After receiving Fang Zheng's call, Officer Megure was surprised and happy. He quickly called the Osaka Police Station to ask for cooperation. Then the two sides would naturally work together to arrest the person... As long as the person was caught, there would be no problem.
As for the bomb, Fang Zheng sent Conan to dismantle it. After all, Conan had learned how to do it in Hawaii and was an old hand at it.
When Fang Zheng finished interrogating the prisoner and returned to the restaurant to eat, he saw other people suddenly gathered around him.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, how do you know that bottle of bacteria is fake?"
Xiaolan asked hurriedly, this question had been hidden in their hearts for a long time, and Sonoko nodded.
"Yes, yes. And when that reporter had his attack, we were really scared, but you handcuffed him right away... Did you realize at that time that he was an imposter?"
"certainly."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"Although he appears to be in great pain, any medical school graduate or non-graduate can feel his pulse and find that his body temperature is normal, his heartbeat is steady, and he has no symptoms at all. It's obvious that he's faking it."
Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced at Jirokichi silently again.
"Any dedicated doctor on this flying ship could have uncovered his tricks."
“Ahahahahaha…”
At this moment, Jiroji had nothing else to say except touching his head and smiling bitterly.
"But didn't that person have a rash? And another waiter also had it..."
"It's probably caused by some kind of irritant. The symptoms of internal rashes and external rashes are different. Seeing that person has red rashes all over his body and face, it's probably because he came into contact with some kind of irritant."
"I see."
After hearing this, Yuanzi suddenly realized what was going on, and then she looked depressed again.
"But now that things have turned out like this, I'm afraid Mr. Kidd won't come."
“Hehehe…”
Hearing Yuanzi's words, Fangzheng chuckled and glanced meaningfully at the corridor not far away.
Even if this didn't happen, Kidd probably wouldn't have the courage to come.
After this, everything went smoothly.
When the airship arrived in Osaka, it was already night. Standing on the observation deck, Fang Zheng couldn't help but yawn as he looked at the brightly lit city. At this moment, he heard a "ding" sound. Fang Zheng turned his head and saw the elevator door behind him open, and then Mira walked out.
"Today really makes me feel exhausted."
"Yes, but now I can take a good rest. I hope nothing will happen in Osaka."
Fang Zheng also stretched himself, watching Mira walk to his side, and looking at the moonlight in front of him. Looking at Mira's figure under the moonlight, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel moved, and then he reached out his hand, hugged Mira's waist, and held her in his arms.
"Eh? Um...?"
Mira seemed a little surprised and subconsciously turned her head to look at Fang Zheng, who stared at her and smiled slightly.
"You did a great job today, so let me give you a little reward."
"Eh? Wait, no..."
Mira seemed to blush as she looked at Fang Zheng's face approaching. She struggled to break free, but the next moment, Fang Zheng lowered his head and kissed Mira's lips.
“Ooooo…!”
Feeling Fang Zheng's kiss, Mira trembled all over, and then she clung to Fang Zheng's body. But... to Fang Zheng's surprise, Mira did not take the initiative to respond like before. On the contrary, she seemed to be struggling... uh...
Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him with a flushed face.
"Are you... Xiaolan?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Xiaolan nodded with a flushed face, then lowered her head.
“…”
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
How to do this?
Looking at Xiaolan, whose face was red and she didn't say a word, Fang Zheng was also stunned.
Or... let's just pretend nothing happened?
