Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

A man wearing glasses, led by a flight attendant, entered the first-class cabin and headed straight for the cockpit.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a doctor.

Xiaolan nodded to Longye, immediately took his hand, and followed him.

Inside the cockpit, after a brief examination of the two captains, the doctor, pale-faced, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, removed his glasses, and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"It should be acute poisoning caused by poison. I will give them first aid immediately. Please help me move them to the cabin..." Although the doctor's tone sounded calm, his hand holding the handkerchief was trembling slightly.

Obviously he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

With the help of others, the two captains were carried into the passenger cabin.

During the transport, the director accidentally pressed a button on the top of the cockpit.

Upon seeing this, Longye immediately reached out and turned off all the buttons.

The button he pressed controlled the aircraft's fuel tank valve; once opened, the four fuel tanks on the aircraft would merge into one large fuel tank.

Ryūno's actions were observed by "Mr. Shinjō," who glanced at the buttons on the cockpit and realized something, giving Ryūno a deep look.

Five minutes later, after performing basic first aid, the doctor looked up at his watch.

"How is it?" Kogoro Mouri asked quickly.

"The amount of poison they ingested was very small, and they are not in mortal danger. However, both of them are currently unconscious and completely incapacitated to fly the plane..."

Upon hearing these words, everyone's hearts, which had just been at ease, were once again on edge.

There were only two pilots on the plane, and they are both unconscious due to poisoning and will not wake up for a while.

But what about the plane?

Even if an aircraft has autopilot, it is only useful before the aircraft lands. Once the decision altitude for landing is reached, the pilot must manually take control of the aircraft and make a critical judgment.

Accidents are most likely to occur during takeoff and landing, with landing being the most complex and dangerous process.

Because aircraft maneuverability is very poor at low speeds near the ground, and various airflow problems are very likely to occur near the ground, thus affecting landing safety.

Allowing an airplane to take off and land automatically without supervision is no different from gambling with one's life.

Therefore, upon hearing the news that the two pilots had lost consciousness, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grim.

After calming everyone down, Kogoro Mouri and Conan returned to the cockpit and explained the situation to Ryuno and the others inside.

After hearing this, Mr. Shinjo immediately turned on his communication device, contacted the nearby control tower, and explained the situation.

"Currently at an altitude of 12,000 meters and a speed of 280 knots. Fortunately, the landing command has been entered into the automatic control system, and I know a little about operating the wings and landing gear..."

Upon receiving the news, the control tower immediately suspended the takeoff and landing procedures for other aircraft and began preparations for the aircraft about to land.

……

Cabin

After ending the call, Mr. Shinjo took off his headset, turned to look at Tatsuno, and said, "In short, I'll take the captain's seat, and as for the co-pilot's seat... you'll be in charge."

Everyone in the cabin turned to look at Longye.

"Huh? Let Tatsuno be the co-pilot?"

"Let this kid handle it?"

"..."

Mr. Shinjo smiled and said, "Yes, he just turned off the fuel tank valve that the director touched. It seems he knows a bit about airplanes."

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Longye helplessly shrugged and nodded in agreement to his suggestion.

Xiao Lan squeezed Nie Longye's hand and whispered in his ear, "Longye, can you really fly a plane?"

"Yeah, I know a little bit~ Anyway, the plane has an autopilot, so just sit still and wait for landing." Longye smiled and patted Xiaolan's head.

Although Kogoro Mouri wanted to say something more, the plane was about to land in about ten minutes. Therefore, he had no choice but to follow Mr. Shinjo's advice and return to his seat.

After everyone left, before Shinjō could even sit in the driver's seat, Ryūno grabbed him by the back of the neck and placed him in the passenger seat.

Kaito Kid: "?"

"Didn't you tell me to stay? With me here, you can only be the passenger."

"cut……"

After grumbling, Phantom Thief Kid obediently fastened his passenger seatbelt: "You can actually fly a plane? Really?"

Longye fastened his seatbelt, gripped the steering wheel, and smiled slightly, turning his head slightly: "Hehe~ I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about flying a plane for the first time."

Kaito Kid: "???"

Kaito Kid was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened immediately, and he reached for the seatbelt buckle: "Huh?! Hey, at a time like this, don't scare me..."

When he saw the smile on Long Ye's lips, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Please, at a time like this, don't joke with me..."

"Speaking of which, why are you always able to see through my disguise instantly?"

"Of course it's because your disguise skills aren't up to par. If you really want to fool me, you'd need to be at least as good as your father."

Kaito Kid was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "So you knew all along."

“Yes, I met him once when I was a child.” Longye nodded casually.

"Can you tell me about it, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a call came through the earpiece.

"—This is the control tower, this is Captain Shimooka. Have you seen the MCP? Please press the APP button above..."

"receive."

No sooner had they replied than the airport appeared before them.

"Note: Adjust the wings to 1..."

—"Boom!"

Before the control tower could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the aircraft, shutting down all its electronic equipment.

Everyone in the control tower tensed up upon seeing this, as the lightning strike had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The phantom thief Kid inside the cabin immediately tensed up.

"Don't worry, just turn the white button on the dashboard to restart the power system."

"Okay, okay!"

"click"

Seeing the equipment on the machine light up again, Phantom Thief Kid couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the control tower also transmitted a message: "Flight 865, the lightning strike just now..."

"The lightning strike just now caused the equipment in the cabin to malfunction, and the autopilot system is no longer working."

"What?! Stop the descent immediately, you..."

"Don't worry, I learned to fly in Hawaii, so I can fly even without autopilot!"

"???"

"You're not Mr. Shinjō from earlier?! You..."

"Let's stop talking now, or we won't have time to land~" Before he could finish speaking, Longye cut off the communication and started operating the various devices in front of him.

Seeing this, Kaito Kid watched Tatsuno's actions nervously, not daring to even breathe, for fear of interfering with him.

Inside the control tower

As the plane drew ever closer, everyone turned pale, their eyes glued to it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the plane land smoothly on the airport in the crosswind.

"Great, it seems there are passengers on the plane who have flown before. But he just mentioned Hawaii..."

Chapter 234 No pigeons, no being let off the hook

After the plane landed smoothly, everyone in the first-class cabin breathed a long sigh of relief.

To prevent panic among the passengers, the news of the two captains collapsing was not spread; only those in first class knew about it.

If the other passengers on board had known that the pilots were not the captain, but two "outsiders," there would probably have been a "riot" caused by fear.

After the plane finished its landing roll, Ryuno unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and patted Kaito Kid on the shoulder.

"I'm going back to the cabin now. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I'll just put all the blame on you this time, okay?"

"Huh? Wait a minute! You were telling me about my father, you met him when you were little?"

"Let's talk about it another time. Xiaolan is waiting for me."

"You bastard..." Phantom Thief Kid muttered under his breath, pursing his lips.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"N-nothing! Take care~" Phantom Thief Kid immediately sat up straight and waved to Ryuno with a smile.

Before leaving, Longye suddenly stopped and muttered to himself, "Do you think a top magician, upon sensing danger, might fake his death during a performance to escape?"

After saying that, Longye walked straight out of the cockpit.

"Fake death during the performance to escape..." Kaito Kid repeated his words softly as he watched Ryuno's retreating figure.

A moment later, he pursed his lips, unbuckled his seatbelt, and prepared to get up and leave the cockpit.

"How could I possibly believe such a nonsensical statement?!"

After he finished speaking, a joyful smile appeared on his lips.

……

First class

Seeing Ryuno step out of the cockpit, Ran, who had already unbuckled her seatbelt, rushed forward and excitedly hugged him.

"Great! We arrived safely! You're amazing!"

"Yes, I told you not to worry~" Longye looked at Xiaolan in his arms and smiled gently.

"cough!"
