However, before she could be smug for long, Aragaki Yu's next words froze her smile on her face.

"However, I have other evidence..."

"It's that powder box and powder puff that were poisoned."

"However, given the ingenuity with which you devised this method of poisoning, I think it's impossible to bring them on the plane..."

"It would be too dangerous to just throw them in the airport trash cans and risk someone picking them up."

“I think if it were me, I would send it by mail. I could send it back to my home by mail.”

"I think we can find out about this immediately by contacting the post office at the airport."

As Aragaki Yu analyzed each point, Sakai Natsuki's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, she was completely stunned and stood there in a daze.

……

Finally, with her head hanging low and having completely given up struggling, Natsuki Sakai confessed to poisoning and murdering Kuri.

The motivation for all of this was that Maki Juri ruined her long-held dream—to become a great makeup artist in Hollywood.

To this end, Natsuki Sakai not only went to study at a makeup school in Los Angeles, but also learned to speak fluent English.

After returning to her country, she worked for Ms. Maki while constantly writing letters to Hollywood seeking employment.

Until a month ago, a Hollywood actress came to Japan and was impressed by Ms. Sakai Natsuki's makeup skills. However, Maki Juri sabotaged her invitation to Sakai Natsuki to develop her career in Hollywood.

Ms. Maki ruined what might have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Natsuki Sakai in order to keep her by her side as an easy tool. This action undoubtedly aroused strong hatred and murderous intent in Natsuki Sakai's heart.

"That woman ruined my dignity as a makeup artist!"

Amidst the sighs of the crowd, Sakai Natsuki involuntarily covered her tear-streaked face and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Your dignity as a makeup artist? Don't be ridiculous!"

However, this time, Kogoro Mouri, who had been silent all along, couldn't stand it anymore.

Unlike his usual carefree or muddle-headed expression, Kogoro Mouri's face was unusually serious at this moment.

"I'm asking you, then why did you use cosmetics as a murder weapon?"

"With the way you've done things, let me tell you, you don't even deserve to talk about dignity!"

"I...I just...I just..."

At this moment, under the reprimand of her mentor Kogoro Mouri, Natsuki Sakai finally couldn't hold back and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

……

The case came to a close amidst Sakai Natsuki's sobs, a mixture of regret and relief.

However, just after everyone returned to their seats, a strong sense of unease suddenly struck Aragaki Yu's heart.

Driven by this ominous premonition, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but take another look at the flight carrying Conan, Ran, Kogoro Mouri, and a host of other Grim Reapers, and his heart suddenly felt uneasy.

This plane...

Is something going to happen?

At the same time, an incredibly familiar memory suddenly flooded into his mind.

Goodness, could this be the same plane Ran flew in one of the movies?

At that moment, Yuu Aragaki, disregarding any explanation to everyone, grabbed the long-haired flight attendant who happened to be passing by and asked, "Wait a minute, may I ask where Miss Juri went besides the restroom?"

"what!?"

In fact, ever since Yuichi Aragaki boarded the plane, the long-haired flight attendant had been secretly watching this exceptionally handsome young man.

Therefore, when the other person suddenly stood up and grabbed her, the long-haired flight attendant was overjoyed, thinking that the other person was eager to ask for her contact information.

Although she seemed a bit rough and reckless, she actually quite liked it...

Upon hearing Aragaki Yu's anxious question, she was stunned and stood there frozen in place.

A strong sense of loss immediately overwhelmed her.

Chapter 757 The cockpit is inaccessible!?

"Cough cough..."

A light cough from Ai Haibara nearby reminded the long-haired flight attendant to finally come to her senses.

“I remember… when Ms. Maki came out of the restroom, I was on my way to the cockpit to deliver snacks to the captain and the others…”

"Because I heard that Ms. Maki was once a flight attendant, the captain specially allowed her to come into the cockpit with me."

"The captain and first officer greeted her warmly and even kissed the back of her hand..."

At this point, not to mention Conan and the others who had already jumped up from their chairs, even the long-haired flight attendant herself turned pale and realized that something was wrong.

"Get to the cockpit immediately!"

When another short-haired flight attendant sitting outside the cockpit saw a large group of passengers running out of first class and rushing towards her, she jumped up from her assigned table in an instant.

Was it a terrorist attack?

It's still a zombie crisis!

Having watched all sorts of movies, her mind began to wander unconsciously.

Fortunately, before she could press the alarm button next to her seat, the long-haired flight attendant squeezed through the crowd to the front, grabbed her arm, and explained the situation to her.

"You mean, even the captain and co-pilot might have been poisoned?!"

After hearing her colleague's description, the short-haired flight attendant became increasingly nervous.

She ran quickly to the cockpit door, picked up the communicator to inquire about the situation inside, but soon put it down again.

At this moment, realizing the current situation, her pretty face turned deathly pale. "Oh no, there's no response from the cockpit!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was struck dumb; as expected, things had indeed developed in the worst possible way.

Conan jogged to the cockpit door and tried to open it by turning the handle, but there was no response.

The cockpit door was locked from the inside.

"Open the door quickly!"

Seeing everyone looking at her, the short-haired flight attendant explained to them with a grim expression, "There's no way to open it. To prevent anyone from interfering with the cockpit, when the cockpit door is locked from the inside, only one key can open it, but that key is currently with the captain."

"damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who was following behind, became even more anxious. If the captain and co-pilot were both unconscious due to poisoning, they would be doomed since they couldn't enter the cockpit.

He couldn't help but pull Conan away from the doorway and kick the hatch hard, but the hatch, which was designed to be blast-proof, didn't budge and was completely useless.

On the contrary, Kogoro Mouri himself fell to the ground a distance away due to the reaction force.

The short-haired flight attendant said urgently, "It's no use. This cabin door can't be opened without a key. No matter how hard you smash it, it won't work. There are several layers of alloy inside!"

"Step aside!"

A warning was heard.

Everyone looked up and saw that Xiaolan was standing in front of the cabin door at some point, with her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her waist and chest heaving violently, and her knuckles white from clenching her fists too tightly.

After taking a deep breath, she whirled around, her long black hair whipping in a sharp arc. With a soft crack of bones, her long legs, like a cheetah poised for action, suddenly unleashed their power, her leather boots slamming heavily into the cabin door with a whooshing sound.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, the hatch panel trembled violently, even emitting a deafening, piercing roar like metal clashing.

This time it was a little more effective than before.

Unfortunately, even in front of Xiaolan, the hatch only showed dents and deformations on the outer layer.

It's clear that the hatch was only damaged on the outer skin.

"Damn it, even Ran can't kick him away?" Seeing the situation before him, Conan clenched his fists.

As for Aragaki Yu, who was standing outside, he couldn't help but hold his forehead at this moment as well.

He knew this job wouldn't be that simple...

Good grief, this time we've actually run into a door that even Ran, the humanoid Gundam, couldn't kick open.

I might really have to become a frequent flyer this time...

Ha, if it weren't for Kaito Kuroba going on a date, I wouldn't have run into this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but take out his little notebook from his pocket and silently make a note for Kaito.

"There must be another way. Now is not the time to sit and wait for death." Kogoro Mouri looked anxiously at the two flight attendants beside him. "Is there any other way to open the door?"

Normally, he would have already leered at them, but at this moment, his mind was preoccupied with important matters.

I'm about to lose my life, how can I have time to flirt with girls!

The short-haired flight attendant was already at a loss looking at the sturdy door in front of her, and after hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, she stamped her foot in frustration, "There really is no other way, we can't open it without the key!"

At this point, she even began to consider whether to inform the passengers in economy class on the first floor about the current situation, giving them enough time to deal with the aftermath.

Although the plane is currently flying smoothly in mid-air thanks to autopilot, it can't stay in the air forever.

Without human intervention, the plane has no way to land smoothly on the ground.
