Chapter 1639-1647 [Praying for the plane to not have an accident]
After a moment, Okiya Subaru silently put the phone back.
...I almost forgot, he can’t send emails now.
Subaru Okiya didn't know what to do to avoid making a mistake. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask for some information first.
The graduate student quietly fiddled with his hair and mask, changed his hairstyle, and then quietly slipped to an empty seat.
When the stewardess who came to look for a doctor passed by, he asked in a professional tone, "Who needs treatment?"
"It's a woman..." The stewardess wanted to say an actress, but was worried about running into a celebrity-chasing pervert, so she came to her senses and hastily changed the subject, "It's a young passenger."
"I see." Okiya Subaru showed a helpless look, "I have learned some first aid methods for rescuing the elderly before, but it seems I can't help you this time."
Stewardess: “…” We also know first aid techniques, but doesn’t this require a doctor…
She smiled and thanked him, then said no more to this enthusiastic but troublesome passenger and quickly walked away along the aisle.
After the flight attendant left, Subaru Okiya breathed a sigh of relief, slipped back to his seat, and turned back into the low-key, silent tourist he was.
…
Although the flight attendant quickly changed her words, Subaru Okiya heard the word "female" clearly, so Jiang Xia was ruled out as the deceased first.
Subaru Okiya: “…” Although he doesn’t want anyone to die innocently, in his heart, Jiang Xia’s life is indeed more important now.
Because the only task assigned by Wu Zuo at present, "to lure Jiang Xia to the crime scene by any means necessary", is centered on Jiang Xia.
And if this core suddenly disappears, then Uzo will feel that his younger brother is useless and want to lay off employees...
Subaru Okiya thought of his hellish experience some time ago, and what resigning from the organization meant. He pressed his forehead, unwilling to think about it any further.
He buried himself deeply in the blanket and tried to pray: "..." I hope that things will end here and the plane will land safely... There must be no other accidents!
…
Although the crew made some efforts, it was too late to save Maki. The inevitable murder still happened.
"The plane cannot be stopped now. We have decided to continue flying to the destination." The flight attendant covered the body with a white sheet and sighed, "Please do not panic and try to avoid moving around to avoid damaging the scene."
Everyone stopped running around and found a place to sit down. But they couldn't rest in peace - in this small, enclosed space of the plane, there was a murderer whose true identity had not yet been exposed. At this time, whether it was the detectives who were dedicated to fighting crime, the ordinary passengers, or the people who were on guard against Uzo, all of them were unable to sleep or eat.
The makeup artist couldn't help but ask, "So how did Miss Makiri get poisoned?"
The director rolled his eyes and glared at the assistant and the box of chocolates in his hand:
"Is there even any need to ask? Maki Shuli fell down right after eating the chocolate, the poison must be in the chocolate!
"As for why the detective was fine after eating the same chocolate, it's because there were more than a dozen different chocolates in the box, some of which were poisonous and some were not. Maki happened to eat the poisonous one, and the detective was lucky enough to choose a non-poisonous one."
Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly as she listened. Thinking of how lucky Jiang Xia was at certain times, the more she listened, the more she felt that the director's analysis made sense, but at the same time she felt a little scared.
After the assistant handed the chocolate to Maki Shuri, he actually distributed snacks to everyone else except the deceased and Jiang Xia.
It’s just that Mu Shuli poured too quickly, and in the end, only Jiang Xia and Mu Shuli ate what the assistant handed them.
Conan remembered something and looked at Ireland and the mixed-race man who was said to be acquainted with him.
The mini detective did not forget Ireland's suspicious behavior. He adjusted his voice to that of an innocent child and deliberately tried to find fault with him: "Just now, the assistant sister also handed you chocolates, why didn't you take them? Is it because you knew there was poison in them?"
“?!”
Although the two outlaws knew they were innocent, they couldn't help but feel uneasy when they thought there was a villain watching them from behind the scenes, worrying that this was the beginning of a trap.
However, they were not those disposable peripheral members who would be exposed as soon as they cheated. They quickly adjusted their mentality and found excuses.
Ireland: "I don't have a sweet tooth."
This sentence, combined with his face, is unexpectedly convincing.
Hashimoto Maya: "I, I think the powder on the chocolate is too troublesome. I have to wipe my hands after eating it. And it's not just us. Except for Jiang Xia, no one else ate it."
Conan: “…” Tsk, pretty quick reaction.
He showed an innocent smile, pretending that he was just an elementary school student who was confused: "That's right."
The assistant didn't come to her senses until then. She held the chocolate in her hand, not knowing whether to throw it away or hold it. She broke out in a cold sweat in the blink of an eye. Finally, she could only loudly explain:
"I didn't poison it! I bought this box of chocolates at the airport and just opened it. The torn packaging is still there. I didn't have the time and it's impossible for me to do anything with it!"
As she spoke, she looked at the makeup artist beside her for help: "Xia Shu has been sitting next to me. She can testify that I really didn't touch the box of chocolates."
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, and looked embarrassed: "Sorry, I was dozing off before and didn't pay attention to you."
"?!" The assistant was anxious. Her companions were unreliable, so she could only defend herself dryly, "I'm really not the murderer. Even if I wanted to kill Maki Shuli, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing as poisoning him in front of her!"
Jiang Xia was a little curious: "So what method are you going to use?"
"Of course I want to..."
“…”
The assistant suddenly shut up. When she opened her mouth again a moment later, she took a detour and said, "I don't want to kill her at all, and I won't use any method to deal with her. What I just said was just a theory. In short, I didn't kill her. Why don't you contact the airport where you left and find the guy who sold this box of chocolates!"
Jiang Xia nodded, as if accepting her explanation tolerantly.
The director at the side was not giving in: "Don't pretend, everyone was sleeping during the long flight just now, and they had no time to pay attention to what others did. You had plenty of time to tamper with the chocolate.
"All you have to do is prepare some poisonous chocolate and some non-toxic chocolate in advance, and then find a way to manipulate Maki Shuli to eat the former."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
The word "control" made Ireland and Hashimoto Maya feel nervous at the same time. They raised their heads suddenly and looked at the assistant again, occasionally glancing at the director, their eyes were countless times more serious than before.
