Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Osamu Shiraishi understood what the "card-flying technique" was. It was actually similar to what was shown in many movies: throwing playing cards around randomly, which could kill people or create all sorts of fancy and unconventional moves.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!"

Kogoro Mouri patted Osamu Shiraishi on the shoulder with delight, raised an eyebrow at his daughter with pride, and admired his own method. Finding someone to monitor him would make things perfect. However, he had no idea that although the idea was good, it could also lead to someone else stealing from him.

Kogoro Mouri is a decisive person. After agreeing, he immediately made a phone call to pull strings. Having been a policeman for many years, he still had some familiar connections and had never missed a chance to do so.

He believed that even if he couldn't do it, the other woman, who was terrible at cooking, would definitely have a way. He also trusted her and knew she wouldn't want her daughter to pass away so confusedly.

Shiraishi Osamu shrugged helplessly at Ran.

Xiao Lan could only smile helplessly.

However, he is not alone now; he has someone at home, so he should let them know before leaving.

Also, prepare a deck of cards; you never know when you might need them.

Chapter 0055: Sweet Sleeping Posture

night.

On the plane to New York.

Late at night, everyone was resting quietly.

Three people per row of seats.

Shinichi Kudo was positioned on the outside, Osamu Shiraishi in the middle, and Ran at the very back.

"Um?"

Xiao Lan made soft noises through her nose. She was covered with a blanket provided by the airplane, her head resting on Bai Shixiu's shoulder. She was sleeping soundly, her breath hitting his face.

As for Shiraishi Osamu, he had been on a plane for several hours, so he fell asleep as soon as he arrived at night.

His head was also resting on Xiaolan's. The two of them were like an intimate couple, lying here quietly to rest, looking remarkably like a married couple.

Shinichi Kudo, who was on the outermost side, couldn't sleep.

Even his body was trembling slightly.

He was angry.

Seeing Xiaolan and Shiraishi Xiu sleeping like that made him very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do because he couldn't control Xiaolan at all.

Furthermore, since Osamu Shiraishi was sent by Kogoro Mouri to supervise, he had even less say.

Fortunately, he felt he could tolerate it. After all, it was just sleeping with each other close together, which wasn't a big deal. He figured he could just bear it and it would pass.

"meet?"

Xiaolan murmured unconsciously again, feeling a little heavy in her head and a breath hitting her face. Then she opened her eyes groggily.

She blinked her misty eyes.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion; she hadn't yet recovered from her daze.

For a long time…

Her face flushed instantly, and she carefully moved her head away.

next second...

Losing his support, Shiraishi Xiu collapsed and fell headfirst into Ran's arms.

"meet--"

Xiaolan let out a shy moan, instinctively hugging Shiraishi Xiu's head, her face showing a bewildered and embarrassed expression.

She looked around and immediately spotted Shinichi Kudo, who was still awake, and looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Humph!"

Shinichi Kudo gave a soft, cold snort, turned his head to the side, and muttered:

"Serves you right. You don't sleep well. You like to lean on things, so go ahead and keep leaning on them."

Hearing this sarcastic voice, Xiaolan instantly became furious, snorted, and ignored him.

As if in a fit of pique, she just hugged Shiraishi Osamu's head, using it like a pillow, stroking it unconsciously, without even glancing at Kudo Shinichi.

Shinichi Kudo: ...

For some reason, Shinichi Kudo suddenly felt a little regretful.

Especially that indescribable feeling, I felt very uncomfortable all over, and there was also a kind of frustration that made me so angry I wanted to vomit blood.

If he had another chance, he would definitely choose to help, but now that he had caused this mess, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Time passed little by little.

Xiaolan felt sleepy again, her eyes closed drowsily, and her head nods little by little...

then……

One time when I tried to climb down a little, I couldn't climb up at all.

Holding Shiraishi Xiu's head, she leaned against him, revealing a sweet sleeping posture.

Shinichi Kudo had completely adopted a Zen-like attitude, choosing to ignore it and quietly shift his gaze elsewhere.

And at this time—

He heard a soft but clear sound coming from the seat diagonally in front of him.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

"Huh? You called me?"

"Yes, could you please stop smoking? This is a non-smoking area. You're causing inconvenience to everyone. If you want to smoke, could you please go to the designated smoking area at the back?"

(Smoking was allowed on airplanes in the past; this is just a brief explanation.)

The young man, smoking a cigarette and wearing a woolen hat, looked at the fat man across the aisle and gave him a malicious smile.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"The roc feeds the eternal sky."

"Oh~ Eagle and Ocean."

Daiyo introduced himself and smiled, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chishi, I'll be more careful in the future."

After saying that, he took a deep drag of his cigarette and blew it directly at Kunshi Hengtian across from him.

Caught off guard, Quail Feeder Hengtian took a puff of smoke and immediately coughed.

The short-haired woman next to Da Ying and Yang woke up from her sleep, noticed what was happening, immediately stubbed out her cigarette, and said with a slight reprimand:

"Heyang, don't do that, it will bother others."

"What are you doing...?"

Da Ying and Yang looked at the short-haired woman with a hint of displeasure and muttered irritably:

"Amano Tsukasa, you're about to become a millionaire's girlfriend, you can't talk to your boyfriend like that."

"Heyang..."

"Alright, you should be happier."

After saying this, Da Ying and Yang pulled out a series of photographic negatives from their pockets and said confidently, "The other newspaper has already agreed to buy these negatives from me at a high price."

"Only if those negatives are genuine." A woman's voice came from the seat next to Amano Tsukasa; it was a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair.

"Chizuru, you..."

Before Da Ying and Yang Hua could finish speaking, Tachikawa Chizuru interrupted and continued:

"I don't know if that New York senator who once visited Dongying has been involved in any scandals. If I'm wrong, it would be a huge embarrassment."

Da Ying and Yang glanced sideways and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! We already faxed copies of those two photos to their lovers for confirmation beforehand."

Chizuru Tachikawa said irritably, "Anyway, this trip is for vacation, not specifically to discuss your business."

Eagle and Yang were taken aback, but decided not to argue with a woman: "Fine, fine, you're both right. I'll definitely show you my amazing surfing skills."

"Alright, Saginuma."

No one answered after the words were spoken.

Da Ying and Yang couldn't help but peek behind them.

Behind him were also three seats in a row, but the middle and inner seats were empty, and only the outermost seat had a person lying there fast asleep. He was the one that Daikichi and Hiroshi called Rujinuma, whose full name was Rujinuma Ben.

Da Ying and Yang were speechless. "This guy is really something, sleeping so soundly."

Finding no one to flatter them, Daying and Yang also got bored. They sat up straight in their seats, picked up the blankets and eye masks provided on the plane, put them on, and prepared to go to sleep.

In front of the eagle and the ocean, a foreigner wearing glasses listened to their conversation thoughtfully, but soon looked down at the book in his hands.

In his hand was a notebook with a person's name written on it—Edward.

If nothing unexpected happens, Edward will likely be the name of this foreigner.

The night was unusually quiet.

The plane was unusually quiet.

I don't know how much time has passed...

It might take half an hour.

It could also be an hour.

Amano Tsukasa pressed the emergency call button on his seat.

Very soon...

A flight attendant approached Amano Tsukasa and asked with a smile, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

Amano Tsukasa made a slightly pained expression and said listlessly, "Excuse me, I think I'm feeling a little airsick. Do you have any airsickness medication here?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away, please wait a moment."

The flight attendant left.

As soon as the flight attendant returned to her work area, she saw a slightly overweight man wandering around in their aisle.
