Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

As a result, the fresh front page was snatched away by the red Siamese cat in no time.

Jirokichi Suzuki crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can as if it were garbage.

……

Two days later.

Kitagawa Taki and others were invited to participate in the maiden flight of the Suzuki family's "world's first flying ship".

"The tropical paradise is down below!" Xiaolan pointed to the Dorobiga Paradise below.

The entire park, viewed from above, resembles a model, and with the swirling clouds and mist, it evokes a sense of "viewing all the mountains from a high vantage point."

Conan touched the back of his head as unpleasant memories surfaced.

Ran turned around and called to Kogoro Mouri, "Dad, look at the scenery below, it's beautiful!"

Kogoro Mouri sat in a chair, withdrawn, because he was afraid of heights.

Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't even glance down.

Kitagawa Taki tugged at Sonoko beside her, pointed to a man admiring the scenery alone not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Sonoko, who is that?"

"His name is Takamichi Fujioka. He is a journalist. He said he wanted to write a report on the showdown between Uncle Jirokichi and Kaito Kid, so he volunteered to his uncle."

Journalist? Absolutely nonsense!

Kitagawa Taki asked Sonoko because he sensed a menacing aura about her.

At that moment, a fat man led a few people to Kogoro Mouri's side.

Besides the fat man, three other people caught Kitagawa Taki's attention.

The fat man said, "You must be Mr. Kogoro Mouri?"

He pulled out his business card. "I am Masaki Mizukawa, a producer at Nichiuri TV."

Then, he introduced the three people behind him: "These two are reporters, Nishiya Kasumi and Mizunashi Rena, and this is photographer Ishimoto Junpei."

Kitagawa Taki narrowed his eyes. Good heavens, out of four people, three of them have problems.

And why is Rena Mizunashi here too?

Kogoro Mouri quickly voiced the question that Kitagawa Taki was wondering: "Isn't this Rena Mizunashi a famous TV presenter?"

Because of his fear of heights, Kogoro Mouri isn't as enthusiastic about beautiful women anymore.

Rena Mizunashi smiled and said, "Mr. Mori knows me! He applied to come here because he was very interested in this showdown with Kaito Kid."

“We were short-handed, and Ms. Mizunashi was a great help,” said Masaki Mizukawa. “We originally planned to deploy a large number of people as before, but unfortunately, we ran into this situation.”

Kogoro Mouri asked curiously, "At a time like this?"

Kitagawa Taki stepped forward and said, "It must be about the red Siamese cat!"

Masaki Mizukawa nodded: "That's right, our station has been preparing for this ever since they released the announcement."

Then, looking at Kitagawa Taki, he asked, "And who is this gentleman?"

"My name is Kitagawa Taki."

Mizukawa Masaki's eyes lit up. "That famous exorcist! To be honest, I've always wanted to do an interview with Mr. Kitagawa! Unfortunately, Mr. Kitagawa didn't accept our invitation."

Kitagawa Taki thought for a moment, but had no recollection of ever receiving an invitation from Nichiri TV.

But Masaki Mizukawa had no reason to speak carelessly; he was probably ignored.

Kitagawa Taki replied politely, "If there's a chance in the future."

Just then, Jirokichi Suzuki walked in with several bodyguards in black.

"It was those red cat thieves who ruined my plans, it's infuriating!" Suzuki Jirokichi said angrily.

Ishimoto Junpei said, "Speaking of which, what exactly did those prisoners want to do with that bacteria?"

"And I heard it's spread through droplets, that's terrifying."

Nishitani Kasumi chimed in, "Who says otherwise! They say the mortality rate is quite high!"

Takamichi Fujioka chimed in, "What's there to be afraid of? Humans are much stronger than bacteria!"

Jirokichi Suzuki laughed and said, "No matter where those thieving cats spread bacteria in Japan, as long as we stay here, we'll be fine!"

Kitagawa Taki's lips twitched; these words sounded like he was planting a flag.

Jirokichi Suzuki then said, "Next, please move to the Sky Observation Deck and enjoy the jewel bait I've prepared for Kid!"

……

Sky Observation Deck.

Nakamori Ginzo was standing guard next to the gemstone with several police officers.

Jirokichi Suzuki explained, "Part of the roof of the Sky Observatory can be opened and closed freely, allowing you to sunbathe, stargaze, and enjoy various other ways of doing so."

"Of course, we've added a lot of traps this time in order to capture Kidd."

The group arrived at the gemstone display case.

Jirokichi Suzuki continued, "This is the lapis lazuli 'Lady of the Sky' that was used to lure Kid into this trap."

"So you just put such a gem in this ordinary display case?" Nakamori Ginzo questioned.

Jirokichi Suzuki said smugly, "Nothing special? That's bulletproof glass that can withstand machine gun bullets, and a perfect device with both fingerprint and password unlocking!"

Kogoro Mouri, standing nearby, curiously touched the electronic screen. The next second, a fist popped out from under the booth and hit Kogoro Mouri squarely in the face.

Kogoro Mouri covered his nose, cried out in pain, and took several steps back.

"Dad, are you alright?" Xiaolan quickly went over to help him up.

Nakamori Ginzo scoffed, "Is this some kind of childish trick?"

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand, rubbed his nose, and walked onto the booth.

But the next second he was inexplicably shocked with an electric shock.

It turns out that a sensor was installed on the pillar next to it, but it's unclear why Kogoro Mouri alone would trigger it.

Jirokichi Suzuki looked at Ginzo Nakamori and said, "Is this some kind of child's play?"

Nakamori Ginzo curled his lip, "This is barely acceptable, but it's useless."

Kitagawa Taki didn't look at the mechanism; instead, he was using his divine sense to search for Kid.

After all, that guy is best at open-book exams.

As expected, Kitagawa Taki's gaze eventually settled on a waiter.

Kitagawa Taki smiled at the waiter, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

Kaito Kuroba's eyelids twitched. Why did this guy always manage to spot him? He had tried so hard to be inconspicuous.

Chapter 179: Is there any taiyaki?

"If Kidd pointed a gun at you and forced you to open it, how would you react?"

Nakamori Ginzo pulled Suzuki Jirokichi to the display case.

Without saying a word, Jirokichi Suzuki unlocked the electronic screen and pressed two numbers.

The floor beneath Nakamori Ginzo's feet suddenly opened up, and he fell straight down.

Several police officers rushed forward to check the situation upon seeing this.

Jirokichi Suzuki laughed as he opened the mechanism.

"How's my mechanism?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Kid, who was secretly chuckling!

The mechanism was good, but unfortunately Kidd saw it all.

"Kidd predicted the time would be evening, let's go downstairs and formulate an action plan!"

Nakamori Ginzo did not answer Suzuki Jirokichi's question. He straightened his clothes and spoke to his subordinate police officers.

"That was brilliant! This should be good enough to write a report."

As he sighed, Takamichi Fujioka pulled out a lighter and cigarettes.

A staff member standing nearby stopped him, saying, "Mr. Fujioka, if you want to smoke, please go to the smoking room!"

"There's really no other way." Takamichi Fujioka put away his lighter. "Mr. Mori, Mr. Kitagawa, would you like to come along?"

Kogoro Mouri was exhausted just now, "I want to rest for a while."

Kitagawa Taki smiled slightly, "I don't smoke."

Jirokichi Suzuki said, "Everyone, let's go to the restaurant for dinner first! The chefs on this airship are all specially hired by me, and their culinary skills are absolutely top-notch."

……

restaurant.

Kogoro Mouri was drinking heartily with a large glass of beer, showing no trace of his previous fear of heights and dejection.

"Miss, another one!"

A short-haired waitress helped Kogoro Mouri finish his meal.

Kitagawa Taki narrowed his eyes; this waitress also had a problem.

I don't know how Mr. Suzuki hired these people; apart from acquaintances, almost everyone on the ship had problems.

"Excuse me, this is dessert."

Kidd, disguised as a waiter, brought up several plates of cakes.

After distributing the cake to everyone, Kidd was just about to leave.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Hello, do you have taiyaki here?"

Taiyaki is a Japanese confectionery shaped like a sea bream.
