Chapter 16441652 [Kid, Danger]
The female lead seemed to associate something with Conan's words. She frowned in disdain: "Makiri doesn't wash his hands before going to the toilet?"
Conan: "..." Oh, it's so hard to explain the case to someone who can't reason. I really want to prick her with an anesthetic needle and then tell her the truth...
However, in front of everyone, Conan touched his watch and finally had to withdraw his hand with regret, waiting for Jiang Xia to continue his reasoning.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Xia opened his mouth, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but glance at him, her tone very complicated: "'She spends very little time in the toilet'? 'Not like the time a normal woman spends in the toilet'?... How can you know so much about this kind of thing at such a young age? You're just like a voyeur. Wait, no wonder you have no feelings for those cute little girls in your school, it turns out you like older women like this?"
Conan: “…”
...This guy's mind is full of nothing but love between men and women! And the age difference between him and Maki Juri is "a little bit"? Maki Juri is the same age as Kudo Yukiko, totally older than her!
Conan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he felt that his reputation had suffered a devastating blow. He could only explain in the tone of an innocent child:
"Kid didn't get the ring last night, and his target, the 'Stone of Destiny', is still on Aunt Makuri's hand. I kept staring at Aunt Makuri because I wanted to protect the ring.
"As for the time it normally takes a woman to go to the toilet, well, this is Jiang..."
A hand suddenly fell on my head.
Jiang Xia stopped daydreaming at some point and was now touching his head in a seemingly kind manner.
"..." Conan's mind suddenly flashed back to the criminals who had been stepped on and knocked by Jiang Xia, and his desire to survive instantly broke out. "That's what Hattori-san told me before! Detectives must pay attention to every detail in daily life. Not only normal women, but also women with children, men, the elderly, and disabled people with inconvenient legs and feet... All of these must be paid attention to. Only in this way can you become a mature and serious detective!"
This reason was barely acceptable, but Suzuki Sonoko still couldn't help but mutter: "...What is that black guy teaching the kids?"
The detectives were busy pushing the blame among themselves.
On the contrary, the suspects were brainstorming, and everyone wanted to catch the murderer immediately so that they could feel more at ease during their journey.
Hashimoto Maya also tried to quietly relieve some of the pressure on himself with the help of Jiang Xia. He suddenly thought of something: "Well, from what you said, the ring on the deceased's hand was coveted by the notorious Kaito Kidd? - Could it be that Kidd failed to get it last night, so he killed people today out of shame and anger?"
Kuroba Kaito: “……?”
"Notorious? He should be world-famous. I have as many fans as some celebrities." Kidd retorted in his heart, "And what about 'killing out of shame'...slander, this is blatant slander! This guy is really wrong, full of bad intentions, and he is not a good person at first glance. We have to pay more attention to him in the future. If we catch him committing a crime, we will pack him up and send him to the police station to eliminate this evil for the people."
Hashimoto Maya was completely unaware of the hostility from a certain Phantom Thief. He just wanted to swim out of the whirlpool at the center of the case as quickly as possible, so he had to pull an unlucky guy to take his place.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." In addition, like Jiang Xia, Kaito Kidd is actually the target that he and Ireland intend to contact on this trip. If this Kaito is thrown off balance, it might be easier to find his flaws.
Although he was thrown off balance by Uzo just now, Hashimoto Maya has now recovered with the help of Jiang Xia, and his performance is back on track - after all, he has been following the brutal cadre for so long, and so far Hashimoto Maya has not been shot to death due to a work mistake, which shows that he rarely makes mistakes and is good at seizing opportunities.
Hashimoto Maya quickly got into the situation: "Kid can disguise himself. If he disguises himself as an ordinary passenger and gets on the plane, we won't be able to recognize him at all - in other words, everyone on the plane is a suspect. Why don't we grab the faces of all the passengers first and find out where Kid is."
"..." Hei Yu Kuaidou's face turned pale: his disguise was not easy to be picked out, and if he picked out the passengers one by one, he could really find out his true identity.
Moreover, this is an airplane, an absolutely confined space. If someone were to expose his identity as a thief, would he have no choice but to risk jumping out of the plane?
Kidd: “…” We are on the sea now, can we survive if we jump down?
Anyway, calm down first, this proposal will not be accepted. Because everyone's goal is to find the murderer hiding around them, and Jiang Xia knows that Kaito Kid is not the real murderer. As long as this detective finds the real murderer immediately like before...
"Good suggestion." Jiang Xia looked at Hashimoto Maya and actually seemed to agree with his suggestion. "This will definitely help us catch Kidd."
Kuroba Kaito: “?!!”
...After all, we are fellow monsters who share the same secret, and you actually treat me like this! Detectives are really not good people!
Kidd looked silently towards the escape door, planning his escape route.
Fortunately, before the thief was almost caught, the detective's conscience finally awakened a little.
Jiang Xia: "But there are no police on the plane right now. If the passengers refuse to be checked, we can't force them to do anything - and there are too many people to verify, including the crew members and passengers. It's better to find the murderer directly, so we don't have to go through the trouble of catching Kidd."
Conan's heart skipped a beat: "Do you know who the murderer is now?"
Hashimoto Maya and Ireland suddenly looked at Jiang Xia. Intellectually, they both believed in the detective's sense of justice and reasoning ability, but when they thought of Uzo's amazing manipulation, they instinctively became alert, worried that Jiang Xia would utter a fatal judgment.
Jiang Xia raised his finger, intending to point out the murderer directly.
But before that, he glanced at two colleagues next to him who were mumbling murderous words.
"..." Jiang Xia raised his hand that was pointing at someone, then immediately changed direction and touched his chin.
Then he changed the beginning as if nothing had happened:
“When flying, some people cannot adapt to the change in air pressure and their ears become stuffy. At this time, everyone who has experienced it has their own way of relieving it.
"For example, chewing gum and swallowing. Or like Maki Shuli, pinching the nose and trying to blow air - that is, pinching the nose with the index finger and thumb and exhaling once. The deceased actually had some diving experience. Some divers use this method to balance the air pressure on both sides of their eardrums."
Hearing this, Hashimoto Maya felt relieved: "Since you mentioned this specifically, the murderer must have taken advantage of this characteristic of her. It seems that the real murderer is someone who is very familiar with the deceased's usual habits." - It has nothing to do with me, a complete passerby!
