Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

At least Sonoko, who originally only knew how to play "Drumming Master," now looks quite good, and Ran has almost gotten used to the keyboard.

The group only played one piece, and the song he presented wasn't too difficult. If they practiced continuously, it's hard to say how popular it would be, but it should be fine for a formal performance.

You can't expect too much from a band made up of a group of amateur girls.

Metropolitan Police Department, tiered conference room.

"At 9:50 p.m. today, the National Institute of Microbiology in Nishitama City was suddenly attacked by a group of seven armed men. The group subdued two security guards, coerced the on-duty researcher to break into the highly secure laboratory, and fled the scene a few minutes later, detonating a plastic bomb inside the room."

"The destroyed laboratory contained some very dangerous bacteria, which are presumably stolen by a criminal group."

When Akatsuka arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri, and a counselor from the Criminal Investigation Department were holding a press conference, requesting that reporters cooperate with the police in their reporting.

"Is the situation serious?" Akatsuka asked Megure from outside the conference room.

Calling him over so late at night, and with the Criminal Investigation Department making such a big show of trying to block the news, it must be no small matter.

“Yes,” Megure said gravely, “Although it’s not our place to get involved, I have a feeling something is wrong. It doesn’t seem like a simple terrorist attack, so I specifically asked you to come.”

"But what can I do here?" Chi Chufeng said speechlessly.

"Counselor!" a reporter asked the spokesperson in the conference room, "Is there a possibility that the explosion could have caused a leak of bacteria?"

"That's not possible. Even if there were any bacteria left, they would have burned away long ago. This has been confirmed with the director of the research institute."

"The criminal group's motives are currently unknown, and the possibility of a bioterrorism attack cannot be ruled out. Therefore, we would like to request your assistance. To avoid unnecessary panic, please limit your reporting to the bombing incident."

A police officer hurriedly ran down the corridor and entered the conference room past Akaso Kaze and Megure.

"Inspector," Takagi, sweating profusely, followed him over and reported in a low voice, "The criminal group has posted a statement about their crimes online, claiming to be Red Siamese Cat!"

"Red Siamese cat?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise. "Is that the organization that carried out terrorist attacks against large conglomerates? But wasn't that organization wiped out ten years ago?"

"That's still unclear, but," Takagi looked around, a troubled expression on his face, "do we really have to get involved? After all..."

Megure frowned and remained silent, only turning to Akatsuki Kaze.

“That’s really a bit strange,” Chi Chufeng said, checking online news on his phone. “If their goal was to take away the bacteria, why would they blow up the lab? And why would they make a point of posting about it online?”

"Our red Siamese cats have attacked the National Tokyo Institute of Microbiology and successfully obtained the killer bacteria. We will launch the next operation within seven days. Please stay tuned."

Looking at the content online, Chi Chufeng frowned slightly in thought.

I vaguely remember it; it was also a theatrical film, and it was even related to the Suzuki family's airship.

The image of Sonoko's uncle, the old man Suzuki Jirokichi, appeared in Chi Chufeng's mind.

Yes, it's the airship "Sky Lady" that Ai just mentioned.

To get a front-page news story, Jirokichi Suzuki built the world's first flying ship, and it seems he's even preparing to challenge Kaito Kid.

However, the old man's front page is gone again this time. After all, the Red Siamese Cat organization is quite a topic of discussion because of the terrorist attack.

037 “In any case, this is a big problem,” Inspector Megure said in a deep voice. “It is said that the mortality rate of that kind of bacteria is as high as 80%, and there is still no good treatment. If the other party really takes further action.”

With that, Inspector Megure bowed deeply to Akatsuka Kaze and said, "Lord Akatsuka, please accept this as my personal request. I can only ask you for help now!"

"Ah, this," Chi Chufeng said with a slight smile, coming back to his senses. "I'll do my best."

If he remembers correctly, that terrorist organization didn't take away any bacteria at all; the online statements were just deliberately creating panic.

However, there are definitely other actions going on. Although I don't remember the specific purpose, since it's a case from the movie and the other side has bombs, it's possible that old man Suzuki Jirokichi's airship will be destroyed this time.

This is quite a big case.

Chi Chufeng ignored the reporters who swarmed out of the conference room after hearing the news and left alone along the corridor.

Chapter 627 There's still a tool we can use.

"how is the situation?"

As the deadline agreed upon by the criminal gang approached, which was also the day the airship was scheduled to depart, Aka Chufeng received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"We still can't figure out the identities of those prisoners," Takagi contacted. "The former executives of Red Siamese Cat, who are currently serving their sentences, insist that they know nothing about it. The only clue we have now is the ampoule that those guys dropped in the research institute's parking lot when they left."

"Ampoules?"

"Yes, I've already sent you the pictures. We searched all the manufacturers, both domestic and international, but couldn't find the same style. We can only guess that it was made by that group of people themselves."

Takagi explained to Akatsuka Kaze while flipping through his notes.

"It seems that the group of people carried multiple empty ampoules and replaced the bacteria stored at the research institute into the empty ampoules."

Upon hearing this, Chi Chufeng checked the pictures on his phone.

It was a double-walled ampoule with a red Siamese cat logo, but there was no trace of any liquid inside.

It was indeed a deliberate deception.

Replacing containers with dangerous bacteria is not only dangerous but also quite difficult. If the red Siamese cat's purpose is simply to steal bacteria, it could simply be taken away.

According to the police, the other party didn't have that much time either.

In other words, the empty ampoule was deliberately left in the parking lot for the police to see.

"So," Takagi continued, "Lord Akatsuki, do you have any leads?"

"I'm going to take an airship today. I'll contact you later if anything comes up," Akazuka said after hanging up the phone. "Could you please tell Inspector Megure for me?"

"what?"

Takagi stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, looking completely bewildered.

"An airship? Today is indeed the day the airship takes off, but how am I supposed to tell the inspector?"

"Today is the last day of the announcement for the red Siamese cat, and there is no further news yet."

On the third floor of the office, when Chi Chufeng finished his phone call and went upstairs, the living room TV was still playing news about the Red Siamese Cat.

These days, almost all news media are reporting on this, and the atmosphere of panic is becoming more and more obvious, which is probably the purpose of the criminal gang.

"The main route of bacterial infection is through droplet transmission. Once infected, the body will itch and develop a rash, followed by several days of high fever, eventually leading to systemic failure and death."

"Bacteria can be spread through breathing or coughing, and young children are especially susceptible to infection, so please, parents."

"Some residents have stopped going out, and there are far fewer people on the streets and in shopping malls today. What exactly is the red Siamese cat up to?"

"under."

"Are you sure you don't want me to come along?" Ai handed her coat to Akatsuka. "Actually, I'd love to try it too. I've never been on a flying ship before."

Since there was only one day, there was no need to bring too much luggage. Ai only prepared a change of clothes for Akaso Kaze, as well as a small communicator that Professor Agasa had repaired.

Chi Chufeng straightened his collar and turned to look at Xiao Ai upon hearing this.

"It's alright to go. Although it may be a bit dangerous, I should be able to handle it."

“Just kidding,” Xiao Ai laughed. “I wouldn’t knowingly rush in if there’s danger. Let’s stick to the original plan. I’ll stay and gather information to see if I can be of any help.”

“Let’s go together,” Chi Chufeng shook his head and considered carefully. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to ride a spaceship again. Besides, I’ve thought about it. The other side may not just be the seven people who attacked the research institute. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of too many places by myself.”

"What do you mean?" Ai asked Chi Chufeng in confusion.

"Even if Jirokichi is useless, he wouldn't let terrorists bring weapons onto the ship so easily. Besides, Inspector Nakamori will definitely be leading a team up this time."

Chi Chufeng analyzed carefully, "So the other side will definitely try to infiltrate in another way. Our target is those people, but to infiltrate the airship, there must be an inside agent. I need you to help me find the inside agent."

"I see," Ai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go pack my things."

Once Ai left, Akatsuki turned his attention to the television. Amidst the bombardment of news about the terrorist attacks, there was also a report about an airship flying from Tokyo to Osaka today.

Although he remembered some of the plot, he couldn't stop the airship from taking off. Not only was the old man, who was determined to challenge Kid, unlikely to agree, but missing this opportunity would also make it difficult to arrest the criminal group.

In reality, apart from the matter of bacteria, everything else was just his speculation, which he only told Ai.

The only problem is Ayumi and her group of kids; if Ai goes, those guys won't stay.

To be precise, even if Ai didn't want to go, there was no way to stop her, otherwise there would be no explanation at all.

Chi Chufeng smiled slightly.

Forget it.

The main danger this time is the group waiting to infiltrate the site; the bomb should be carried by that group. Relatively speaking, the threat from the inside is not very great.

Knowing that the dangerous bacteria were just a smokescreen, he felt much less pressure, and ensuring everyone's safety wasn't a problem.

And above

As he watched the news report about Kaito Kid on TV, Aka Chufeng's mind raced.

Maybe there's someone else we can use as a tool.

Chapter 628 Lord Chichu...

"Ah!"

In the galley of the Suzuki Ichiro airship, a male waiter who was drinking water almost choked, prompting his colleagues to ask with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, my nose is just a little itchy," the male waiter smiled, picked up his tray, and left, saying, "I'm going now."

As always, Jirokichi Suzuki enjoys taking on challenges. This time, he has invested heavily in building the Suzuki I, which is 246 meters long and has a maximum diameter of 42.2 meters, making it the world's largest flying ship.

In order to get the headlines, he even challenged Kaito Kid to a duel and placed a large gem called "Sky Lady" on the observation deck at the top of the whale-like airship.
