Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

"Really? Thank you for the compliment!"

"Yes, we will support you again if we have the chance in the future." With that, the captain took off his gloves and prepared to shake hands with Maki.

Seeing the captain's action, Maki smiled and extended the back of her hand.

The captain saw the back of her hand, paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, smiled, took Mu Shuli's hand, and kissed her fingers.

Seeing this, the co-pilot, who was standing nearby, was obviously reminded of yesterday's performance. He quickly took off his gloves, took Maki's hand, and kissed it in the same way.

After doing all this, Maki said goodbye to the two captains and walked out of the cockpit.

Seeing Ms. Makiri step out of the cockpit, Conan quickly ran back to his seat.

Assistant Yaguchi, carrying a box of chocolates, approached Maki and said, "Here, have some chocolates~"

"Thank you~"

"Mr. Mori, would you like one too?" Ms. Yaguchi placed the chocolate in front of Kogoro Mori.

"Oh? Then I won't be polite!"

Kogoro Mouri picked up a piece of chocolate, put it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it with relish.

The next second, Maki, who had just finished eating chocolate, suddenly grabbed her own neck with both hands and let out a painful scream.

Not long after, she collapsed to the ground and became unresponsive.

A short while later, under everyone's watchful eyes, Kogoro Mouri withdrew his hand from Maki's neck and shook his head: "Sigh..."

Seeing this, everyone understood that Maki was beyond saving, and they all showed complicated expressions.

Conan bent down and sniffed Maki's mouth, then looked up and said, "Uncle, it smells like almonds!"

"Hmm, it should be cyanide poisoning."

Upon hearing their conversation, the director immediately shouted, "Chocolate! Someone must have poisoned the chocolate he just ate!!!"

"Chocolate?" After repeating it to himself, Kogoro Mouri immediately opened his mouth wide, performing a "lightning-fast face change" right under everyone's noses.

"Dad?!" Ran immediately looked at Kogoro Mouri in alarm, remembering that her father had also eaten a piece of chocolate earlier.

Seeing this, Longye grasped Xiaolan's hand: "Don't worry, if the chocolate Uncle ate was poisonous, he should have shown symptoms by now. Since Uncle is fine, it means the chocolate he ate was okay."

After hearing Ryūno's explanation, Ran and Kogoro Mori felt a little relieved.

After calming himself down, Kogoro Mouri carried Juri Maki to her seat and then asked the flight attendant to tell the captain what had happened.

After doing all this, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"It really was the chocolate from earlier, wasn't it? Because she collapsed after eating it!" The director insisted on his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement: "Actually, I think so too."

Ms. Maki-ri did indeed collapse the moment she finished eating the chocolate.

Therefore, without other evidence and clues, anyone would suspect that there is something wrong with the chocolate.

And this chocolate seems to belong to Ms. Yaguchi, the assistant...

Thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze to Masaki Yaguchi, who was standing to the side. It was she who had taken out the chocolate earlier.

Seeing the suspicious looks from everyone, Ms. Yaguchi immediately turned to Kogoro Mouri and shouted, "No! It really has nothing to do with me! I bought this box of chocolates in Ginza this afternoon, and I just opened it!"

At this point, she turned to look at her side: "Natsuki, right? You should have seen me open the package just now, right?"

"Huh? Sorry, I didn't actually see it just now..."

"Natsuki?! Mr. Mori, you have to believe me! I really didn't kill him!"

After thinking for a moment, Kogoro Mouri took out a white cloth and walked to Masayo Yaguchi's side: "In short, please give me that box of chocolates for safekeeping."

"OK……"

After collecting the chocolates, Kogoro Mouri looked at everyone in the cabin: "The rest can only be handled by the police after landing. In order to preserve the scene intact, please sit in the back seats. Also, since the deceased went to the toilet, the toilets in the front are closed to use from now on."

five minutes later

Conan rested his hand on his chin, carefully recalling everything that had happened.

"Besides the chocolate, Miss Juri also seems to have eaten a few vitamin pills. Her brief trip to the toilet earlier is also suspicious..."

"—Ahem! I already know!"

Just as Conan was analyzing the clues he had, Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up and shouted.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to him.

"Since Ms. Juri died of poisoning, the culprit is obvious! Since boarding the plane, Ms. Juri only ate two things. Besides the chocolate given to her by Ms. Yaguchi, it was the vitamin tablets that Ms. Tajima gave her earlier!"

At this point, he confidently pointed at Ms. Tajima: "The murderer who killed Ms. Juri is you—Ms. Tajima Tenko!"

"W-What?! Are you kidding me! I had absolutely no motive to kill her!"

"Is that so? I think everyone here probably has a motive to kill Juri~" Sakai Natsuki glanced at Tajima-san and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the cabin lowered their heads and remained silent.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri looked at Natsuki Sakai: "I remember you are Ms. Natsuki Sakai, Ms. Juri's makeup artist, right? Could you please explain what you meant by that sentence just now?"

“Yes. Because I’ve spent the most time with Ms. Juri, I know her interactions with others better than anyone else.”

"First of all, there's the director. Although he's the director of this play, it's basically directed by Juri. He can't hold his head up in front of Juri. I've seen his wife, Ms. Tajima, scold him loudly about this several times."

"As for Mr. Chengze, he agreed to divorce her three years ago at Juri's request. But he is still infatuated with Juri and has asked to get back together several times, but has been ruthlessly rejected by Juri each time."

At this point, Sakai turned to look at Shinjo Isao behind her: "As for Mr. Shinjo, Juri has recently grown tired of Shinjo, who is younger than her, and even asked me to introduce her to a new love interest."

"As for her assistant, Ms. Masayo Yaguchi, Juri often complains that she has a gloomy personality and is slow to react. Juri often humiliates her in front of everyone."

"As for me, I'm always being bossed around by her. Every time I want to change jobs, she maliciously obstructs me. I hate her very much."

Maori Kogoro:"……"

After hearing such a rich and colorful "history", everyone fell silent.

Longye shook his head speechlessly.

Playing such fancy tricks, offending so many people, plus Uncle Mori and Conan's "magic," if you don't die, who will?

"Captain? Captain? What happened?! Are you alright?!"

Just then, the flight attendant's exclamation reached everyone's ears.

Sensing something was wrong, Kogoro Mouri and Conan rushed to the cockpit door first.

Chapter 233 The Untold Secrets of Airplanes and Hawaii

Inside the aircraft cockpit

The two pilots had their eyes closed and pressed their hands tightly against their necks, their heads covered in sweat.

"What's going on?!" Seeing the two pilots in pain, Kogoro Mouri also became nervous.

The two pilots' appearances left Conan somewhat bewildered.

Just now, Ms. Maki-ri also strangled herself before she died from ingesting cyanide... Could it be?!

If the captain and his crew were also poisoned, it means the poison wasn't in the chocolate, but in Maki's hands!

"boom!"

After struggling for a moment, the captain lost consciousness, and his head hit the control stick in front of him.

The impact immediately shut down the aircraft's autopilot system, and the plane plunged nose-first into the ground.

Seeing the flight attendant next to him almost fall, Kogoro Mouri immediately used his left hand to hold onto the door frame and then used his other hand to put his arm around her.

Conan, who was standing nearby, staggered a few steps and shouted, "Quick, help him up!"

Upon hearing Conan's shout, the flight attendant, who had just regained her footing, immediately stepped forward and pulled the captain up, keeping his head away from the control stick.

Conan immediately ran to the joystick and used all his strength to pull it back to its normal position.

"di"

At the same moment, Shinjo Ko, who had appeared out of nowhere, pressed the autopilot button again: "It's all over now, quickly call the doctor over."

"Ok!"

First class

Ryūno released Rin from his arms, placed her in the seat next to him, and fastened her seatbelt.

"Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid at all~"

Seeing the unwavering warmth in Longye's eyes, Xiaolan smiled and shook her head. She gazed quietly into his eyes and chuckled softly, "No matter what happens, as long as you're by my side, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Looking into Xiaolan's clear, autumn-water-like eyes, Longye shook his head indulgently.

"You know what, Xiaolan? Whenever the female lead in a movie says these words to the male lead, they always encounter a thrilling and dangerous situation!"

"Huh? Is it too late for me to take back what I just said?" Xiaolan covered her mouth.

"Don't worry~ No matter what danger we face, we'll be fine." Longye looked at Xiaolan, who was as cute as a little animal, and couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

Just then, the announcement came over the loudspeaker.

— "Dear passengers, a passenger on board has suddenly fallen ill. If any of you are doctors, please inform the nearest flight attendant immediately."

After listening to the broadcast, Xiaolan seemed to realize something and looked at the cockpit in front of her with a serious expression.

The plane's recent tilt, coupled with the announcement that "a passenger has fallen ill"...

With just a little thought, the connection between the two becomes clear.

"Longye, could it be that something happened to the captain?"

"Yes, it should be. The fact that the captain had an accident at this time is definitely related to Ms. Maki Juri's matter."

"You mean the captain might have been poisoned too?!"

"I think so. Didn't they just call for a doctor over the loudspeaker? We'll know once the doctor gets here."
