It was probably a psychological effect at this time. Kogoro Mouri felt uncomfortable all over and seemed to be unable to breathe. He sat down on the ground and reached out his trembling hands towards Xiaolan and Eri Kisaki.
"Ran, Eri..."
Hibiki Eri was also too concerned to think about anything. She quickly took two steps forward and half-knelt on the ground to hold the hand that Maori Kogoro extended to her. There seemed to be tears in her eyes: "Husband——"
"Lan, when daddy is gone, you have to listen to mommy. And Eri, I'm sorry, I've always wanted to tell you, I, I--" Maori Kogoro panted, his heart and eyes filled with Kisaki Eri, "I actually--"
Everyone gathered around, watching this touching scene, waiting for Kogoro Mori to confess his true feelings.
Only Conan, the little detective with a negative EQ, didn't care about the situation behind him. He squatted on the ground alone, carefully examining Maki's body, and comforted Maori Kogoro casually: "Don't worry, uncle, the poison takes effect so quickly, if you were poisoned, you would have taken effect long ago, how can you still say so much?"
"..."
"..."
Chu Ming, who was enjoying the show, wanted to punch Conan. With your emotional intelligence, you can actually pursue Xiaolan. Did you save the world in your previous life?
Chapter 355 New Love
When he heard that he was not poisoned, Kogoro Mori froze his outstretched hand. He was so obsessed with saving face that he refused to mention that he collapsed due to psychological effects.
He sat up stiffly, his brain CPU probably spinning like smoke before he came up with a lame excuse: "Haha, how could I not know? I'm a famous detective. I just got up too fast and felt a little dizzy, so I sat down on the ground. Hahahaha..."
"..."
Everyone present were experienced people who had worked in the entertainment industry, and after hearing Kogoro Mouri's reasons which were full of loopholes, no one questioned them. Instead, they all nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment, thus maintaining Kogoro Mouri's precarious detective status.
Kogoro Mouri jumped up and stopped talking about the previous topic.
But how could Feiyingli let him go after only hearing half of the love words? She quickly grabbed Mao Li and said embarrassedly: "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Now that he was sure that he was fine, Maori Kogoro felt his tongue getting tied up again. He couldn't say anything sweet at all. He could only make up a story with a serious face: "I've always wanted to tell you that the food you cook is really terrible. Don't cook it again in the future."
The relaxed expression on Hibiki's face froze instantly, and she gritted her teeth: "Really? Then I really wronged you so much before."
After saying that, he turned around and stood far away from Kogoro Mori, hoping that out of sight, out of mind.
"Wait, Mom—" Xiaolan was a little anxious when she saw the two of them were arguing with each other again. She rubbed Conan's head in frustration: "Why are you like that guy? If you hadn't said anything just now, maybe they would have reconciled! Dad is the same, he keeps talking about things that are not related to the topic!"
Conan, who was concentrating on reasoning, looked up blankly: "Ah? What did you say, Xiaolan?"
"..." Xiaolan's eyes were full of complexities, and she shook her head, "Nothing, I just think you and Shinichi are becoming more and more alike. Are you secretly in contact with him? It's okay for you to learn reasoning from him, but don't learn his personality!"
Chu Ming couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Xiaolan's complaints. How could they not look alike? They were simply printed from the same mold.
Kidd stood behind the crowd and peered in. Reasoning was not his strong point.
However, seeing that everyone had gathered around Mu Shuli, Chu Ming was the only one sitting quietly in the entire first-class cabin. Thinking that this was a devil playing with souls, he couldn't help but step back and ask quietly.
"Lucifer, can you see her soul?" Kidd sat back in his seat and moved closer to Chu Ming.
"Yes." Chu Ming looked up at him and licked his lips deliberately, "Arrogant, selfish, and vain, this soul tastes pretty good."
Kidd's eyes suddenly widened: "It tastes okay? You ate her?!"
Chu Ming's eyes were full of smiles: "Of course, demons feed on souls. The more negative the soul, the better it tastes."
Seeing that Kidd hadn't come to his senses yet, he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, you are special. Your soul is filled with light and peace, which is different from others. Don't worry, I won't eat your soul, I will just collect it. What kind of picture frame do you like? I can customize it for you according to your preferences."
Kidd laughed dryly twice: "It's still early, no hurry, no hurry, haha, what are you doing?"
Kidd watched Chu Ming stretch out his index and middle fingers and press them on his forehead. With a faint light, he saw a ball of red light flash between the two fingers.
Chu Ming pretended to be mysterious and took out a tiny red light bulb from the system backpack and put it back instantly, deliberately making a pose.
"The cause and effect of this soul is tied to the girl with the ponytail." Chu Ming finished pretending to be mysterious and stared at Kidd and said, "She was the one who did it."
Kidd was really curious sometimes. He stared at Chu Ming's fingers that had just flashed with light, and wanted to touch them to see if there was anything different. He asked, "Are you talking about the makeup artist Sakai Natsuki? What else can you see?"
"I can even see her actions." Chu Ming looked at Kidd's instantly excited expression and chuckled at him, "What price can you pay to get this information?"
"Any price?" Kidd raised his head and stepped back a little.
"You deal with demons, do you think all this is free?" Chu Ming said as a matter of course, and suddenly changed the subject, "But if you want it to be free, that's fine too..."
"..." Kidd had a hunch that there was something wrong and quickly shook his head, "No, I still prefer to find the answers myself."
And anyway, Kudo Shinichi is still here, so that detective will definitely be able to solve the case!
While Kid and Chu Ming were chatting, Kogoro Mori was also actively solving the case.
Natsuki Sakai suddenly stood up and said that everyone had a motive to kill Makiri, pointed around, and finally looked at Kidd.
"…As for Mr. Shinjo, although he is Juri's new love, Juri has been a little tired of him recently and has been asking me if there is anyone new she can introduce to her."
Kidd, who was singled out as a lecherous henchman who hangs out with rich women, didn't feel embarrassed at all facing everyone's gazes. Instead, he tilted his head back and smiled, letting everyone appreciate his handsome face, which made those who were looking at him feel a little embarrassed.
Xinzhuang is actually pretty cool.
"New love? So you like this type of lady?" Chu Ming turned his head to look at Kidd, deliberately playing with Kidd's mentality, and whispered to him, "Although the soul is the same, your current skin is not as good-looking as your own. But if you like, I can help you mold your soul into this shape."
"...No, no, thank you so much, but I also think that my own appearance is good and there is no need to change it." Kidd quickly rejected Chu Ming's kindness, fearing that if he said it too late, his soul would be made ugly by the group.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do for a precious collection. I will try my best to meet all your wishes. Do you think that woman's new lover wants the gem in her hand? I will help you get it now?"
"No, no, no, I don't like it anymore."
Kidd quickly stopped Chu Ming from casting a spell, saying that he no longer liked the gem.
Seeing Chu Ming withdraw his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The devil of passion is hard to resist.
Chapter 356: Don’t laugh, or you’ll lose your dignity
Conan listened to Sakai Natsuki revealing all the suspicions against everyone, including himself. It seemed that he was being frank, but this kind of behavior——
The twisted logic that Chu Ming had instilled in him before appeared in his mind uncontrollably: Generally speaking, the one who is most active at the crime scene must have a problem, especially the one who jumps out and doesn't let everyone else, even himself, go, and drags everyone down with him...
Conan couldn't help but think of the previous golf course bombing case, when the murderer Minami Tomofumi was also like this, and took the initiative to say that both he and the people present had motives to kill. Then he exposed everyone's bottom line without stuttering. He was also confused by Minami Tomofumi's actions at the time, and thought that someone who took the initiative to say that he was a suspect should not be the murderer.
Isn’t this also the case with Natsuki Sakai’s behavior this time?
So, is she the murderer this time?
Conan shook his head to dispel Chu Ming's twisted logic. No, he was a detective, how could he solve the case with such twisted logic without investigating the truth!
Just at this moment, Conan accidentally noticed that Genta was sucking his fingers while eating in the back seat. He instantly remembered that when Makiri was eating chocolate, he also seemed to suck his fingers!
That means the poison is on the finger!
Was it when Mr. Shinjo kissed her hand when he boarded the plane? Was it when Ms. Sakai handed over the pen? Or was it...
Conan's mind flashed through everything that Makiri had done since getting on the plane. Suddenly, his eyes opened suddenly and he understood! The murderer was really Miss Sakai!!!
Damn, Brother Chu Ming’s theory has been proven... I always feel like Brother Chu Ming is showing off from a distance!
In the silence, Conan's childish voice suddenly rang out: "Ah, uncle, look, what is that over there~"
Everyone looked curiously in the direction Conan pointed, but saw nothing.
Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn there, Conan quickly took out the anesthetic needle and shot it at the old spot.
However, at this moment the plane suddenly shook, and Kisaki Eri, who was walking next to Mouri Kogoro, misstepped and was hit by Conan's anesthetic needle.
Looking at Kisaki Eri falling towards him, Conan hurriedly gave up his seat to let her sit down. When he put down the button loudspeaker, he met Haibara Ai's eyes that saw through everything, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Where is the thing?" Kogoro Mouri looked as if he had been fooled. In the past, every time this kid showed him something, there were some useful clues, but this time there was clearly nothing!
Conan took a step back: "I think I saw it wrong, haha, I'm going to the bathroom!"
Xiaolan frowned slightly as she watched Conan running to the toilet, a little worried: "Is Conan's health not well yet? Why is he always running to the toilet?"
Ai Huihara behind him suggested maliciously: "Why don't you take him to the hospital? Edogawa likes to show off and save face, so he may be too embarrassed to tell you if he has a problem."
Ayumi, who has always been concerned about Conan, is also worried at this time: "That won't do. If you are sick, you have to go to the hospital. Conan usually looks like an adult, but he is afraid of going to the hospital?"
"That's right, I'm not afraid!" Yuantai patted his chest, showing that he was a brave child.
Xiaolan was already a little worried, and after listening to the children's words, she secretly made up her mind to take Conan to the hospital after the trip. Conan has a good relationship with Chu Ming and Hattori. Conan probably feels that he is too old to talk to her about this issue. Osaka is still too far away, so he decided to ask Chu Ming to take Conan to see the doctor later.
At this time, Conan, who was already ready in the bathroom to use the help of Kisaki Eri's reasoning, suddenly felt a chill all over his body and shivered twice.
What’s going on? Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my back?
He twisted the voice changer skillfully: "Husband, stop pretending~"
However, the voice that came from Kisaki Eri's shoulder was Sonoko's.
Oh my god, I got on the wrong bus, a major car rollover.
Kidd was already laughing so hard that the whole chair was shaking. Chu Ming was also trying not to laugh as he watched Conan pop his head out from the toilet and frantically adjust the voice changer. He then looked at Mouri Kogoro, whose face was filled with a look of "am I hallucinating?" and only through great willpower did he not laugh out loud.
You can't laugh, you can't laugh, it will ruin your status. Look at Kidd next to him, he looks like a fool when he laughs.
Everyone turned and gathered around Eri Kisaki, listening to her methodically talking about the doubts and problems she had discovered. In the end, she identified the murderer as Natsuki Sakai and produced evidence that she could not refute.
Makiri felt uncomfortable because of the buzzing sound in her ears caused by the change in middle ear pressure after the plane took off, so she went to the bathroom and pinched her nose to let out some air, but she came out without washing her hands. She even took chocolate with the hand that pinched her nose and licked her fingers. As a result, she died of poison because of the poisoned foundation on her nose...
Tsk, after listening to this reasoning, it seems that this glamorous female star is a bit unhygienic...
After Conan finished reasoning, he came out of the bathroom and looked at Natsuki Sakai, who was kneeling on the ground and crying with her face covered. He did not feel the usual sense of relief after completing reasoning. Instead, he always felt that he had missed something.
What exactly was missing?
Mingming's cause of death and the murderer have been found, and they will be handed over to the local police as soon as we get off the plane.
Miss Mu's ring was still on her hand and had not been stolen by Kidd. Although Kidd's identity had not been completely confirmed, he had definitely boarded the plane. As long as we kept an eye on the ring, we would not let him get away with it.
Even though everything has been taken care of, he still feels a little uneasy?
Conan looked around the entire first-class cabin, and when he saw the stewardess standing at the door leading to the cockpit, he suddenly remembered that Miss Mu had just entered the cockpit, her poisoned hands had touched the captain and the co-pilot, and the stewardess had also sent in some snacks!!!
Thinking of this, he hurried over and anxiously told the flight attendant to ask the captain not to eat the snacks that had just been served.
However, it was too late. When the flight attendant opened the door, she found that the captain and the co-pilot had groaned and fallen in the driver's seat.
The captain even fell headfirst and happened to hit the autopilot lever. After the autopilot was released, the entire plane fell straight down and everyone standing fell to the side.
Kidd held onto the armrest of his seat, looking at the people in the cabin all staggering around. Only Chu Ming was still sitting there with all his dignity, still calm and composed, not even swaying at all. Envy could not help but show in his eyes.
As expected of a demon, he can still maintain his elegance in this situation...
