Chapter 16561664 [The Client Who Will Not Live Long]
In the ordinary cabin.
Subaru Okiya pressed himself against the window, looking at the dark clouds below through the small porthole.
The thunderstorm was getting more and more severe, and occasionally one could even see arcs of electricity jumping between the clouds. In the night, the strong flashes were dazzling, making people who saw them feel as if they were about to ascend to heaven at any time.
Okiya Subaru: “…” This thunder… won’t destroy the plane, right?
His mind couldn't help but flash back to the joke that the couple played in the departure lounge before boarding the flight - although the possibility was small, this was not the first time he had encountered such a flag coming true.
But no matter how worried he was, as an ordinary passenger sitting on the plane, Okiya Subaru could do nothing but pray: "God, that's not right. My boss... isn't right either. No matter how outrageous Uzo is, he can't control a real natural disaster. I'd better pray to the god of luck."
But, speaking of luck...
Subaru Okiya thought of Jiang Xia who was also on the plane and sighed tiredly.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but high school detectives always have bad luck when it comes to 'encountering murders' and 'encountering accidents'."
Okiya Subaru muttered to himself: "Although the former may be the work of Usa, but before being noticed by Usa, Jiang Xia must have encountered many cases himself, otherwise he would not have become a famous detective... Oops, the more I think about it, the worse it seems.
"But if you calculate the time, the plane will reach its destination in no more than 20 minutes. As long as it lands smoothly, everything will be over - but then again, what on earth was that sudden dive just now?"
The ordinary passenger who did not want to reveal his name was fidgeting. In Subaru Okiya's impression, that was not how an airliner should operate.
At this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded in the cabin.
The sweet voice of the stewardess echoed in the cabin: "Dear passengers, the plane is about to arrive at the destination. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."
Okiya Subaru: ...Is it really possible to land smoothly? That's great!
However, after carefully listening to the stewardess's voice just now, I always felt that she seemed to be in a panic... Was it an illusion? It must be an illusion!
Subaru Okiya glanced at the seat belt that was already firmly fastened on his body, took a deep breath, and forced himself not to think about it anymore.
…
In the cab.
Jiang Xia was still listening to Hashimoto Maya explaining the uses of various instruments.
Conan eavesdropped at the door of the cockpit for a while and found that Ireland and Hashimoto Maya were just teaching people how to fly a plane seriously and did not reveal any other flaws. He was a little disappointed.
But soon, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, left the cockpit and returned to the cabin.
Conan found the "old lover" in Makiri, jumped onto the seat and sat next to him.
Kuroba Kaito came back to his senses and glanced at Conan: "..." What are you doing here? Are you asking for trouble again?
He hid the anesthetic needle between his fingers and smiled cheerfully: "Little friend, what's wrong?"
Conan revealed a childish voice: "Hello, Uncle Anonymous. This is the first time I see you. Where is your tattoo? Can you let me see that handsome tattoo?
Kidd was slightly startled: "..." Anonymous? Tattoo?
"So when Conan was stabbed just now, he wanted to shout 'Anonymous'? No wonder it doesn't sound like 'Kid'." Kid suddenly realized, and at the same time he was a little confused, "How am I like Anonymous? I have been honestly playing the role of the old lover in Maki. The only slightly special thing I did was to prick Conan with an anesthetic needle... Uh, could it be that this organization likes to prick people with anesthetic needles, and Kudo Shinichi was stabbed by them several times?"
Kid wanted to laugh when he recalled the scene where Conan chased those mysterious people who called themselves "Anonymous" and kept asking questions, and then was stabbed down by the Anonymous.
But he still managed to hold it back. He played this new role with great interest, raised his finger to his lips and said, "This is a gentleman's secret."
"..." Conan was not discouraged, "Even if you don't tell me, I know it. Listen to my guess. Is your tattoo right?..."
As he said this, he moved closer and pretended to whisper.
Kuroba Kaito was quite curious about what kind of result the famous detective could guess with the false information.
He leaned in gracefully, just about to listen carefully, but suddenly felt something was wrong. The next moment, Kuroba Kaito suddenly stood up, just in time to avoid Conan's outstretched short hand - this cunning mini detective didn't want to whisper in his ear, but to tear his face off!
Kuroba Kaito: “…” The cunning detective is just as much of a bastard even when he’s smaller!
Although he managed to dodge it, the sharp-eyed high school detective next to Kidd had obviously noticed something.
Conan showed a smile that showed he had seen through everything: "Sure enough, you are not Anonymous, you are Kidd - I just saw the needle hole, the anesthetic needle you used is different from theirs. And I found that the anesthetic needle in my watch is missing. You are the only one who can steal my anesthetic needle without anyone noticing."
...As for whether Anonymous has the ability to steal, Conan is not sure, because whether it is experience or intuition, it tells him that Anonymous will not bother to do so. Even if the group really wants his anesthetic needle, they will only stab the victim with one needle and then rob him openly.
Conan felt a little sad as he thought about it. He shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the bad memories from his mind.
Next to him, Kuroba Kaito had no idea what he was thinking. The thief touched his fake face, which was almost torn, in fear: "Very perceptive, how did you find out? It can't be just because I stole a needle."
Conan came to his senses and said, "I have suspected you for a long time. Before boarding the plane, Mr. Shinjo did not show up, and others said that he would not take this flight. But after we sat down on the plane, 'Mr. Shinjo' suddenly appeared and said that he had changed his itinerary at the last minute.
"Makiri was very surprised to see you, 'Xinzhuang Gong'. This is because the real Mr. Xinzhuang was assigned another job by her and would not appear on the plane at all. At that time, she thought that her old lover had disobeyed her, so she got angry. If you hadn't stabbed me with a needle during the trip and misled me, I would never have thought you were Anonymous."
Kidd clicked his tongue and said, "He's worthy of being a detective. Indeed, that guy is about to be abandoned, but he is still devoted to Makuri. At Makuri's request, he took a red-eye flight back to Hokkaido overnight. He planned to dress up as Kaito Kid there to give you a 'surprise' and stir up a topic at the same time."... In addition, Makuri probably wanted to use the excuse of "Kid's presence" to keep the detective by his side for a longer period of time.
Unfortunately, this plan can no longer be realized - because the person who asked Jiang Xia to "protect the gem" has tragically gone to another world.
