Chapter 11 Encounter in the Sky



Flying there... Is the destination really Osaka? Conan stood on the ground, looking up at the airship heading straight west.

At this moment, he felt his cell phone vibrate with an incoming message and reached into his left pocket to take out the cell phone.

[The bacteria are fake, and their purpose is to create panic. So I think you can guess the other party’s real purpose.

Kudo Shinichi.

——HLJ】

Conan's pupils suddenly shrank - this guy knows his identity!

Conan has two identical cell phones, the one in his left pocket is Conan's, and the one in his right pocket is Shinichi's. The cell phone that received the text message is the one on Conan's left.

Conan: "..." He took a deep breath.

He neither denied nor confirmed it, but asked, "How did you get my contact information?"

【#HLJ#: Why not? Don't underestimate my ability to acquire. Of course, I am a law-abiding citizen under normal circumstances, and your communication method was told to me by my temporary helper.】

Temporary help? Conan narrowed his eyes.

[#HLJ#: Jiang Lai. But he only knows your mobile number, Edogawa Conan, so I have to use this to contact you. ]

[#HLJ#: Jiang Lai seems to have some problems and cannot be contacted. So I will inform you of the other information. ]

[#HLJ#: I have said enough today. Let’s just say that we are officially introduced. See you later, great detective.]

Conan caught a glimpse of a Metropolitan Police Department helicopter flying in the sky. Combined with the text message he just received, he already had some thoughts in his mind - Osaka direction, panic, empty city, a place with weak security system, high value - Nara's national treasure-class Buddha statue!

The other party's matter... we'll talk about it later, the important thing is the current problem. He took out Kudo Shinichi's cell phone and used a voice changer to talk to the Metropolitan Police Department.

You put your phone back in your pocket.

You suddenly remember in the smoking room that the theater version has to attract box office revenue.

So in the end you didn't directly reveal the information of this incident. After all, a plot with reasoning and ups and downs is attractive. If the crisis is solved smoothly, the box office of this theater version may be ruined...

The door of the smoking room was opened again and the girl with long hair was pushed in.

“Ah, Lansang?” You said hello while sitting cross-legged on the sofa. “Come sit over here. There’s room next to you.”

"Jiang Lai?" Xiaolan looked a little surprised. "Officer Nakamori said that you were isolating yourself in your room."

“That’s how it was originally, but it was discovered,” you spread your hands, “and then you were brought here.”

Mizukawa, who was lying on the sofa, slowly woke up. He opened his eyes in confusion, and when he regained consciousness, he suddenly started crying and holding his head: "Ahhh! I don't want to die! Why did it have to be me?! Why is it like this..."

you:"……"

Xiaolan looked at her red arm with a gloomy expression.

"Don't cry, big brother. Relax, everything will be fine." Seeing that Mizukawa looked mentally broken, you couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Wuwu, we are all infected now...we will die..." Mizukawa shook his head frantically.

"Apart from redness and itching, there's no other feeling. The bacteria are fake. We just have a simple allergy." You explained simply.

Mizukawa looked a little confused. Xiaolan raised her head, thought for a while, and replied: "Indeed, except for the redness and itching, I don't have any other discomfort."

Xiaolan has always been a smart and brave girl. She paused and continued, "Is this virus spread by droplets? But... Mr. Fujioka only shook my arm..."

Finally, she asked curiously, "But...how do you know that this bacteria is fake?"

"A very powerful guy told me. He is also in touch with the Metropolitan Police Department, and the information is 100% accurate." You said calmly, "Everything will be fine - don't worry, why don't we chat for a while."

So when Conan pushed the door open, what he saw was not the pessimistic scene he imagined, but instead a scene of three people chatting happily... Huh???

His body stiffened.

Xiaolan noticed Conan immediately. Although she half believed that the bacteria were fake, she still subconsciously covered her mouth and stepped back: "Conan, don't come over here!"

Conan also regained his composure: "Ah... It's okay, Xiaolan." He looked up and smiled, "Because no one is infected by bacteria at all."

"Although everyone has a rash, it's probably just a common allergy to lacquer," Conan continued to explain.

"See! I told you!" You patted Shuichuan happily.

Conan: “…”

You: “Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt… just keep going.”

Xiaolan asked at the right time: "Raw lacquer?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded and started explaining from the person who brought them here and the location of the rash.

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded, his body shook, and then he pushed away the crowd behind him and ran out.

"Ah! Why suddenly...?" Sonoko at the back was startled.

"Conan...?" Xiaolan also looked confused.

"Really? You haven't finished talking, little brat." said Kogoro Mouri with salty eyes.

"Hey, wait a moment!" You stood up and followed immediately.

However, Conan had already disappeared.

Really... At least prepare something before going to find the big boss. You showed your half-moon eyes, searched the ground for a gun that the terrorists dropped when they were knocked down, and then continued to move forward.

Conan meets Fujioka on the top of the airship and calmly and clearly reveals the other party's evidence and operations.

"Hmph, your reasoning is quite brilliant." Fujioka sneered, "But you missed the most important part... First, I have no intention of running away."

"But your subordinates have already..." Conan narrowed his eyes.

"They are not my hired subordinates." Fujioka paused and looked at Conan with a squint, "They are my original subordinates."

Conan was shocked: "Is there anyone else?!"

Fujioka continued: "I didn't come here to escape... but to lure you out--"

What?! Conan's heart sank.

However...if the other party wanted to find the person who ultimately ruined his plan, he probably didn't expect there was another guy. While Conan was thinking about the unknown HLJ, he listened to Fujioka's explanation of his own plan.

"——Let me thank you for cutting off my financial resources!" Before Fujioka finished speaking, he pulled out a pistol from his waist——

"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bullet made a friction sound on the toughened surface of the airship.

And Conan was knocked to the side by you.

"Jiang...Jiang Lai?" Conan panted.

You thrust the gun in your hand toward the other person and quickly say, "Here, I don't know how many bullets I have left, and I haven't tried to fire it yet. Check to see if the safety is on."

"Huh, another one looking for death?" Fujioka didn't see you put the gun in, he raised his gun and aimed at you again.

Facts have proved that Conan's movements at critical moments are unusually fast. Before Fujioka fired, he had already shot a bullet at Fujioka's feet.

"What..." Fujioka took a step back in fright. He didn't expect that the other party also had a gun.

Conan raised his gun to Fujioka and said, "Hey, uncle, don't act rashly."

"We all have guns now..." Fujioka looked calm, "But you want me to crash into the Akashi Strait Bridge, I'm sorry, I won't be fooled!"

He turned around and bent to avoid the bridge. Conan took advantage of this gap to tie his belt and opened the football.

You and Conan hid behind the football, and you couldn't help but ask, "What kind of outer space material is this football made of? I'm going to advertise the World Cup."

"Huh?" Conan twitched his lips, "You're still in the mood to joke now..."

The football got stuck on the bridge, and the airship began to shake and tilt violently. Conan climbed on the airship, reached through the gap and pressed the button - the football deflated, and the airship flew straight up -

Fujioka screamed and fell off the airship. You stumbled and almost fell as well. Conan grabbed your wrist with one hand and held the railing of the airship tightly with his other hand.

The downward pressure caused Conan's arms to tear with pain. The child's hands could hardly hold an adult who was completely vertically downward, but he still gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold on.

You stretched out your other hand towards another railing, hoping to relieve the pressure on Conan's arm as quickly as possible. In the process, you felt your pocket lighten, and something fell out -

Oops! Your phone! You react instantly.

"...Conan," you looked up and smiled, "I can swim, don't worry."

"What?" Conan was stunned.

Then you pulled Conan's hand away and fell straight down.

"Ah wait...!" Conan watched you fall, "Jiang Lai!!"

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 5 bottles of tooth decay;

Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!

The following is a fan drama written by ==! The reasoning and interaction are so good. I'll hug you and spin around.

Ke: You are the good guy HLJ, right?

Lai: What are you talking about? I don’t know him.

Ke: This is not the first time I've had this reaction to hearing the strange name "HLJ".

Lai: Because Officer Matsuda from the Metropolitan Police Department once asked me if I knew about "HLJ".

Ke: What was your answer at that time?

Lai: Of course I don’t know. It feels like a strange code name or something.

Ke: What about now?

Lai: About the same, right?

Ke: Oh, that's strange. I don't know if Officer Matsuda mentioned the word "good guy", but I did mention it just now. As a Chinese, Jiang Lai, don't you have any associations with the words "good guy" and "HLJ" that appear at the same time?

Leos: How do you know about the red scarf? Did you also learn about it in Hawaii?

Lai: (pause) Ah, did you mean "red scarf"? (weird expression.jpg) I didn't expect Conan to know this kind of thing... In China, there is indeed a saying that red scarf is used to refer to good people, but it usually refers to primary school students - members of an organization called Young Pioneers - or it may be a joke.

Ke: So that's how it is. I misunderstood. What about the message sent to the Metropolitan Police Department? You know Officer Matsuda's phone number, right? HLJ also contacted the police through him. On the Belsherry II, you acted alone before the accident, and after the accident you were taken to the smoking room out of everyone's sight, so you naturally had the opportunity to secretly contact the police.

Leos: Officer Matsuda took the initiative to give me the phone number, but I can't tell you. "HLJ" knows about this, but "Jiang Lai" doesn't know about it.

Lai: I don't know. Maybe it's because I have some friendship with Officer Matsuda? In the incident on the Belsherry II, he mentioned Officer Matsuda when he asked me to help him temporarily, and that's why I agreed to help him. I did contact someone during the solo operation, but that person was HLJ, not Officer Matsuda. And before I was taken to the smoking room, my cell phone was confiscated.

Ke: Oh, didn’t Brother Jiang Lai say at first that he didn’t know HLJ?

Lai: I really don’t know him, even though we have fought side by side over the Internet.

Ke: So about the cell phone, you had a black silicone cell phone case when you were browsing the food guide, why was it gone when it was confiscated? -- I accidentally saw it when I got the cell phone back.

Leos: You accidentally saw a lot of things.

Lai: I just took it down before it was confiscated. It’s not important, right?

Ke: So why do you take off the phone case? (glasses reflection.jpg) Or are they two phones in the first place?

Lai: Conan-kun is really a curious kid. (Handing over the local phone in a phone case) If you're worried, would you like to see if I have another phone here?

Leos: Anyway, you can’t see the drone without a shell.

Ko: (searches Lai's house to no avail) But...what about when Yuan Tai mentioned the eel rice? You looked surprised. It's obvious that you didn't know what was displayed on your phone! You probably used some method to quickly switch without touching the screen. It's not impossible with HLJ's technology--

Lai: Well, I was just guessing that Genta-kun really likes eel rice, and it just so happens to match what I was browsing, so it’s okay to be surprised, right?

Ke: Then tell me, what is displayed on your phone now?

Lai: Another food illustration, this time it’s salmon nigiri sushi.

Leos: I was looking for reference materials, lucky.

Ke: ...Okay, I'll believe you for now.

Lai: Haha, I hope Conan-kun will stop doubting me (Half Moon Eyes.jpg).
