Chapter 77: Flying to the Sky Chamber in New York (End)
"I went to the bathroom because I was feeling unwell..."

The first person to explain was Amano Tsume, with a sad look on her face, "But when I came back, Kazuhiro was still sitting in his seat..."

At this time, the flight attendant who helped get the medicine also remembered: "Indeed, when this lady asked me to help get the medicine, there was indeed someone sleeping next to her."

Tsuneo Ukai, who was standing by, also said that he saw Tsume Amano asking for medicine while he was walking up and down the aisle, and that he went to the bathroom after that, which took about five minutes.

Lie listened to their speeches quietly, with a strange smile on his face.

The second person to narrate the story was Chizuru Tachikawa: "I went there after the stewardess brought the medicine..."

When Chizuru Tachikawa finished speaking, everyone discovered some doubts:

Because according to her description, after she finished using the toilet, there was a response coming from the toilet where the deceased was.

"Then there is only one person left..."

Inspector Megure looked at the foreign uncle wearing glasses.

When he looked over, the half-moon eye appeared again:
Kudo Shinichi had walked up to the tall foreigner and began to ask questions in English with a Japanese accent.

But the foreign uncle said he couldn't remember when he entered the bathroom.

Kudo Shinichi was a little helpless, and then he was choked by the perfume on the foreign uncle and coughed repeatedly...

"The cologne on this uncle is so thick..."

He couldn't help but fan his nose.

At this time, a man named Sagi Noboru among the deceased's companions was a little impatient: "Hey, hey, how long are you going to keep asking these unreliable questions? I think it would be better to search their luggage and see who has the murder weapon, right?"

At the end, he inexplicably added: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, a person who has been sleeping all the time."

"Nonsense! You obviously left your seat!"

Ukai Tsuneo, who had been choked by smoke before, immediately pointed it out, "And you were sitting behind the deceased..."

Inspector Megure put on a serious face again:
"What's going on?"

"Didn't I say before that I saw the deceased sleeping on his seat? Just when the lady wanted to go to the pharmacy... But at that time, this guy was not even on his seat!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you fat guy!" Saginuma Noboru's hands were shaking with anger, and he pointed at Kudo Shinichi, "This little brother clearly said that only the four of you went to the toilet! Right, little brother?"

“…Ah, um…”

Kudo Shinichi suddenly seemed to be stupid and could not speak clearly.

He always felt that something was wrong.

When these people went to the toilet, except for Chizuru Tachikawa and the foreign uncle, they had no contact with the deceased... But how did they do that? No one saw the deceased go to the toilet...

"Hey, did you find anything?"

Lie suddenly came up to Kudo Shinichi with inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

Kudo Shinichi scratched his head, "Well, not yet..."

Then he felt a little suspicious: Could it be that Mr. Lin has discovered something?

Sure enough, he heard Chi Yanlin excitedly analyzing it with him:

"Look, the blood on the wall has dried, but there is no blood on the body. This means that the position of the body has been changed, right?"

"Indeed, I thought so too..." Kudo Shinichi nodded.

But he couldn't quite understand why the murderer would change the location of the body? Besides, it would take some time for the blood to dry up.

"And there are scratches on the neck of the corpse, right?" Lie still looked excited.

"Correct."

"The lining of the body's pockets was wet, which means the criminal may have had water on his hands!"

“…It’s not impossible.”

Kudo Shinichi nodded secretly after hearing this.

At the same time, Lie's words seemed to open a shackle in his mind, and a magical guess suddenly emerged in his mind. Could it be...

"So I thought!" Lie was still talking, guessing, "Could there be two murderers?"

Kudo Shinichi: “……?”

No, where did this conclusion come from?

Lie thought his speculation made sense, and he stretched out his hand and gestured twice:

"Look, if the first murderer killed the victim, he might have grabbed the victim's neck, and then worried that there was skin flakes on his hands, so he washed his hands before picking the victim's trouser pockets!"

"Then the murderer came out, and the person who went in later was actually his accomplice. He wanted to make sure the deceased was really dead, but he saw scratches, so he moved the body to cover it up..."

"So! The two of them know each other!"

Lie clapped his hands excitedly: "Then it can only be those two girls!"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Qiudou Madai, did he guess wrong? Why does Mr. Lin's reasoning seem so logical?
But this conclusion is still a bit hasty!

Just as Rei excitedly expressed his judgment to Kudo Shinichi, Officer Megure suddenly screamed:
"What did you say? There's no murder weapon in their luggage?!"

Lie and Kudo Shinichi turned around at the same time.

The same thought occurred to the two people almost at the same time: Damn, there is no murder weapon?
Doesn't that mean the murder weapon is still on the criminal? !
After searching the luggage without success, Officer Megure, under the reminder of Kudo Shinichi, also took turns searching them, but still did not find any items related to the murder weapon on them...

"Are you guys done yet? You've made us take off our clothes twice!"

Chizuru Tachikawa was obviously a strong woman, and she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

Detective Takagi, who was the first to be hit, was caught off guard by the situation. He waved his hands repeatedly and smiled awkwardly: "But, but... the murder weapon has not been found yet, and the boy over there also said that you were the only ones who went to the bathroom during the time when the victim was killed..."

"Hmph... Who knows if he made a mistake? I think he's just a kid who's read a few mystery books—"

Sagi Noboru was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when he realized that the boy's attention was not here at all, so he had to hold his anger back.

Ukai Tsuneo seemed to be arguing with him, "I think you should just admit it! You must be the murderer... because your testimony is the only one that doesn't hold water!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing the increasingly uneasy look in the policeman's eyes, Saginuma Noboru was a little panicked.

……

Next to the seat where the deceased Ohtaka Kazuhiro sat, Kudo Shinichi used a handkerchief to pick up the film fragments he found on the seat. He also heard Ukai Tsuneo and the flight attendant testify that at that time - when Amano Tsugumi asked for motion sickness pills, the seat behind the deceased was empty.

Lie also stared at the fragments of the film in a daze: "Strange~ Why are there fragments of film?"

Kudo Shinichi narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid this is..."

"Ah, I see. They must have cut off the film after killing someone, and it accidentally stuck to their bodies and was brought back, right?"

Lie didn't wait for Kudo Shinichi to finish, he completed his guess and looked at him happily: "Right, Shin-chan?"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

That's exactly what should happen...but there is only one murderer! The other one is innocent!
"Shinichi! What are you doing here? Do you know that the uncle just said to you..." Mao Li Ran was probably unable to sit still. Seeing Kudo Shinichi hanging around the deceased's seat, she couldn't help but run over.

But she immediately noticed Rei's white hair. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at her childhood sweetheart and said, "Shinichi, who is this?"

"Oh... this is Mr. Chi Yanlin who I just met." Kudo Shinichi said to Xiaolan with a smile, and then looked at Lie uncertainly, "Mr. Lin, he should be a mystery enthusiast, right?"

"Hmm~ Reasoning seems very interesting! From now on I will be a mystery lover!"

Lie probably thought the name sounded good and accepted it very easily.

"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Mao Lilan."

Xiaolan also greeted her politely.

"Hello, hello..." Lie looked at the two people and laughed out loud: "Are you a couple?"

Kudo Shinichi: “!?”

Mao Lilan: “?!”

It does not make sense!

Both of them blushed instantly.

"Um, Mr. Lin...have you found anything over there?" Kudo Shinichi blushed and changed the subject.

When the clues to the case were mentioned, he immediately became serious again and smiled with great confidence, "If you, Mr. Lin, hadn't found it, then I might have solved the case before you!"

Lie blinked, stroked his chin and thought for a while: "Then you go first? I want to take a closer look."

"it is good."

Kudo Shinichi raised the corners of his mouth.

He already has the key evidence, there is no doubt that the murderer is that person...

Kudo Shinichi found the stewardess who delivered the medicine to Amano Tsume and whispered, "Excuse me, when you delivered the medicine, did you see..."

……

The last row of seats in the cabin, in the middle right position.

Tokyo Tenma never stopped writing and working for a moment.

He's already numb.

Lie took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and leaned on the back of Tokyo Tenman's chair, puzzled and said, "I say, little Dongman, you don't remember it in such detail, do you?"

Tokyo Tenma was still listening to the conversation over there, especially Kudo Shinichi who had already started reasoning. Every word and action of this young man was recorded in detail in Tokyo's notebook.

But he was able to answer Lie with one mind: "Why not? Master Ren works day and night. I don't know how much effort it takes to be an undercover agent in the enemy's territory... Only by reporting the mission in detail can we reduce Master's workload!"

strong:"……"

Really? But why did he feel that doing so would make his elder brother more tired?

"Oh, yes, do you have any impression of the dead person?"

Lie is here to cheat with Tokyo Tenman.

Tokyo Tenma kept writing without looking up, "Sir, I noticed the movements of these people when I was observing that boy before."

"Then why didn't you say it before?" Lie blinked.

"You didn't ask before." Tokyo Tenman answered confidently.

"..."

Fine.

"I remember that the person who went to the bathroom with the deceased was his girlfriend." Tokyo Tenman said while recording Kudo Shinichi's quotes, "But she was the only one who came back. After she came back, the fat man and the American went in, and then the other woman."

"Oh~ So, the deceased was no longer sitting there when that woman named Amano Tsugumi came back?"

Lie narrowed his eyes. "But this is very strange. The testimonies of the stewardess and the fat man are also problematic... The murderer is the woman, but why does she have a witness?"

Tokyo Tenman took a deep breath, turned to a new blank page helplessly and began to write - in Chinese, which was faster than writing in Japanese, but the translation took a lot of brainpower, "Why don't you ask my target and find out? I think he has found the key."

His brain is about to explode, can Lord Lie please stop bothering him? !
"That's right~"

Lie smiled without any embarrassment, glanced at Kudo Shinichi who was already halfway through reasoning, and walked over naturally.

"…The person who entered the bathroom and wet the deceased's trouser pockets was Mr. Edward, right?"

Kudo Shinichi's words made everyone turn their attention to the foreign uncle.

Lie happened to hear this when he came over, and said in surprise: "Eh? The murderer is this foreign uncle? Isn't he Miss Tian Ye Jimei?"

Saginuma Noboru, who was about to rush over to question him, said: “?”

Police Officer Meguro: "?"

other people:"?!"

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Did Mr. Lin think of this as well?

Kudo Shinichi coughed, "Well... it was indeed Miss Amano Tsugumi, but Mr. Edward also went to the bathroom after Mr. Otaka died and searched for something on him... I think he was looking for negatives."

"Wait, wait! This is just your guess, right? Do you have any evidence that Jimei is the murderer?!"

Chizuru Tachikawa first looked at the incredulous Tsume Amano, and then argued back.

Because Kudo Shinichi hadn't yet fully expressed his reasoning, Rei intervened, and the others were not very convinced.

Kudo Shinichi just opened his mouth to continue explaining, but Rei immediately took the lead and said with a smile: "By the way, Shinichi, I just asked a passenger who saw the deceased, and he said that after the deceased went to the bathroom, Miss Amano Tsume followed him...

But after Miss Jimei came back, the passenger did not see the deceased. I would like to ask why the stewardess and Mr. Ukai Tsuneo saw the deceased sitting next to him? "

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

Wow, Mr. Lin found all the witnesses directly?

"No, it's impossible, right?"

Chizuru Tachikawa and Noboru Saginuma looked at their companions with some disbelief.

"That's because Miss Tsumei Amano took advantage of Mr. Saginuma Noboru, who was sitting one seat behind the deceased." Kudo Shinichi first glanced at those people, then looked at Rei and said, "The deceased wore a knitted hat and eye mask when he slept... I think Miss Tsumei should have dressed up Mr. Saginuma Noboru like this, sitting next to him and asking the stewardess for airsickness medicine."

After the flight attendant went to get the medicine, Tsugumi Amano returned to her original seat and deliberately woke up Chizuru Tachikawa to let her see that Otaka and Hiro were not in their seats.

"So this is ah!"

Lie clapped his hands as if he had suddenly realized something. He had no interest in listening to Amano Tsuyoshi's confession and his motive for murder. Instead, he excitedly ran to share the case with Tokyo Tenma.

Tokyo Tenma: I heard it all, don’t tell me again!
Kudo Shinichi went over the details of the case with Inspector Megure, and when they wanted to communicate with Rei again, they found that he was gone.

Kudo Shinichi: ...?
Where did Mr. Lin go?
I feel that the Flying Chamber was written a bit hastily, mainly because there are too many details in the original book that need to be written out and it would add another big chapter QwQ.

The main purpose of this case is to connect Rei and Shinran. After Conan's first year, Gin will definitely not be able to contact Conan directly...

PS: Preview of the next chapter: Gin is going to slack off
