I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Thinking of this, Chaki Shintaro couldn't help but hum softly.

Because Ginzo Nakamori didn't run away. It's said that he set off in a large group with the Second Investigation Division this morning and has been working ever since. He hasn't even returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to rest yet.

Indeed, the way people are treated depends mainly on comparison.

Compared to Nakamori Ginzo, he felt that the current unpopular atmosphere was much better than the 18-hour workday where he was busy from morning till night and never had a chance to sit down!

"You must be Mr. Chaki Shintaro?"

A doctor nearby asked curiously,

"I heard that you and Mr. Kogoro Mouri joined forces to thwart the Phantom Thief Kid's plot to steal the Destiny Jewel. Could you please tell me more about this?"

Ochagi Jintaro:?

Can we not bring this up? I don't know how to tell you this. Should I say that I got through it because of my backbone?

Fortunately, the boarding announcement had already sounded at that moment.

Chaki Shintaro, as if grasping at a straw, quickly said...

"It's almost time to board. I have a lot of luggage, so I'll go through security first. Excuse me, excuse me!"

Under the doctor's questioning gaze, Chaki Shintaro walked out of the waiting room empty-handed.

He was completely baffled.

What is this? Is it air being checked at security? Or is it some kind of luggage that only smart people can see?

At that moment, Conan pushed up his glasses.

He turned to look at the Hakodate weather forecast displayed in the waiting room.

It clearly states that the entire route from Tokyo to Hakodate is cloudless, and no other abnormal weather is expected before flight SKJ865 arrives at Hakodate Airport.

This means that this flight will not encounter any special accidents.

"Although the uncle and the Junior Detective League all boarded the plane this time, since Chen En didn't come, it shouldn't have such a negative impact as to cause a flight accident, right?"

Conan muttered to himself,

If an accident were to occur, he would have to consider whether or not to fly again.

If something goes wrong in the sky, there's nowhere to run!

He glanced at the crowd, preparing to have Kogoro Mouri, who was still talking animatedly, follow him, but unexpectedly found that one person was missing from the waiting room: Shinjo Isao, who played Josephine's lover "Hipporiltshire".

This handsome guy, who is said to be in a private relationship with Maki Juri, apparently didn't come at all.

That's strange, what's going on?

Even if they broke up, Shinjo Ko is still an indispensable and important member of the troupe, so there's no reason for him not to come back, right?

Also, why is Xiaolan smiling like an idiot right now?

Is there some funny aspect to this that I'm unaware of?

Chapter 246 The Hijacked Flight SKJ865

At this moment, passengers on flight SKJ865 have begun boarding.

Maki Juri's theater troupe and Kogoro Mouri's group were all seated in the front first class section. It wasn't until Kogoro Mouri and his group were seated and the plane door was about to close that someone rushed onto the plane.

Kogoro Mouri sat in his seat, already preparing to doze off.

Then, a hand patted his shoulder, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Excuse me, sir, are these seats 2A-F?"

Eri Kisaki kept her head down, staring at her seat number on her plane ticket, completely oblivious to who the man next to her was. She simply patted him on the shoulder and asked about the seating arrangement. Meanwhile, the somewhat sleepy Kogoro Mouri didn't even realize who it was.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look behind him at what appeared to be the source of a beautiful woman's voice.

“Of course, my seat is 2A-E, and inside that are 2A-F… Ah, Eri!”

When Kogoro Mouri looked up, he saw Eri Kisaki's face and was immediately shocked.

When Eri heard that familiar voice, she looked up at Kogoro Mouri and was also startled.

"What are you doing in this seat? No, why are you on the plane too?"

Mori Kogoro:?

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

Eri Kisaki glanced down at the receipts, then at Kogoro Mouri. Remembering the phone call Ran Mouri had made to her earlier, she immediately realized what had happened. She turned to look at Ran Mouri, who had just emerged from the restroom after hiding there.

Ran Mouri, on the other hand, made a cute "heh heh" face, trying to get away with it.

Looking at the retracted boarding stairs, Eri Kisaki felt a bit like she'd been tricked into joining a bandit gang, but she couldn't bring herself to yell at Ran. She simply spoke to Kogoro Mouri...

"I'm not sitting with you, you can sit by yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately replied,

"I don't want to sit with you either!"

Conan watched the elderly couple sitting separately in a huff, his face expressionless. He couldn't help but sigh. Honestly, he wondered when Auntie Fei and Uncle Mori would ever be able to get along normally.

Yesterday, Xiaolan had tricked Aunt Fei into coming to the office under the pretense of teaching her how to cook.

As a result, Aunt Fei hadn't been sitting for long when Uncle Mori's photo frame fell out because it wasn't properly hidden. When she picked it up, she saw that it was a photo of Uncle Mori drinking with a bunny girl in a nightclub, which immediately made Aunt Fei blush.

The two parted on bad terms, and unexpectedly, the two were tricked into coming back the next day. No wonder Aunt Fei had this attitude.

Why are you here?

A voice rang out from the shepherd's tree.

Conan turned his head in the direction of Maki Juri with some curiosity, wondering what kind of trouble Maki Juri was up to now, but he saw Shinjo Isao's figure. This actor, who was already very handsome, had a special aura at this moment.

Strange, why is Shinjō Kō boarding the plane at this time?

Is he as busy as Aunt Fei?

Didn't I tell you to go do other things?

"I'm annoyed," Maki said.

However, Shinjō Kō wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile,

"After thinking about it, I think this place suits me better."

"Then, my dearest Queen, may I show my respect by kissing your hand?"

Previously, Maki had also asked the two pilots of the plane to kiss their hands.

This is clearly one of Mushuli's habits.

Therefore, Conan was not surprised that Shinjo Isao, as Maki Juri's boyfriend, would say such things. He just watched with a bit of boredom as Shinjo Isao went to sit down in another seat after giving a hand kiss.

The boy detective club next to them, on the other hand, were full of energy.

Ayumi pointed to the map of Hakodate, discussing where to go to see the fish, while Genta and Mitsuhiko also chatted and shared their ideas, making Conan, who was sitting next to her bored, frown more and more as he listened.

He had been wondering why the announcement from Kaito Kid didn't match the actual situation.

But now, he suddenly had a new idea.

Could the four English words on Kaito Kid's announcement refer to the 26 letters of the alphabet for international aviation radio communications? If so, it means Kaito Kid will commit theft on the plane. And if we consider the context further…

No, there's no need to match them. We're on a plane right now, what's the point of solving a riddle?

Conan suddenly looked up and scanned the people in the first-class cabin.

Kaito Kid may have already boarded the plane.

He has to find out the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid before the Destiny Gem is stolen, and then send the thief to the police station when the iron bird returns to its nest!

But just as Conan was searching for Kaito Kid...

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the other cabins, along with faint screams.

Upon hearing this, Conan frowned and looked towards the rear cabin door.

Moreover, not only him, but Shinjo Kō also looked in that direction almost simultaneously.

Furthermore, as the commotion grew louder, others gradually noticed something amiss. Maki Shuri frowned, already annoyed by Shinjo Kou's disobedience, and now she became even more irritated.

She got up and walked to the cabin door, pulled it open, and was about to ask the flight attendant what was going on.

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

Mu Shuli collapsed instantly, blood gushing out, causing the passengers in first class to scream in alarm.

"Everyone, please calm down."

A strange-sounding noise came from inside.

Stepping over Mu Shuli's body, a figure appeared at the cabin door. He was dressed in black, wearing a terrifying black skull mask, and his eyes held a hint of cruelty.

His gaze swept over the people in first class, and he said,

"I came here solely for revenge."

Hijackers?

Conan frowned.

His size gave him an advantage; if he seized the opportunity to use the gadgets in his belt, taking down the masked hijacker wouldn't be difficult, as long as...

The next moment, several more gunmen appeared from behind the black mask.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that there will be even more hijackers in the other two cabins!

What exactly happened? Why would a hijacker of this size target this plane?

The black-masked man's gaze finally stopped and landed on Sonoko Suzuki, and he said,

"I have come to take revenge on you, the jewel of the Suzuki family."

All eyes immediately turned to Sonoko Suzuki.
