Chapter 1082
The maiden voyage of the Suzuki I was also known as the "Lady of the Sky" journey. The flight time was 6 hours, and it would arrive over Osaka in the evening.
"It's Tropical Land!" Ayumi and the other kids, led by Professor Agasa, leaned against the restaurant's observation window to look down.
"The castle looks so small, the park looks just like a model!"
"That's awesome!"
"The scenery is great, right?"
Sonoko also pulled Akaso Kaze to the window in excitement. Through the slanted window, the earth could be clearly seen.
"It's my first time seeing Tropical Land from this angle, it's truly a spectacular view!"
"Yeah."
Ai stood to the side with her arms crossed, looking at Tropical Land with a faint smile.
"This height is just right."
"Come to think of it," Ayumi and the others discussed, "Does Kid usually see this kind of scenery?"
"It's really enviable."
"Don't let Inspector Nakamori hear that."
Akaso Kaze listened to the little brats talking, his eyebrows raised slightly, his peripheral vision looking at Mouri Kogoro, who was standing with his back to the window, not daring to get close.
For some people, this kind of scenery wasn't beautiful at all; instead, it was like a nightmare. He didn't know why this guy had come up.
"Akaso-san," Sonoko looked at the beautiful scenery and turned to Akaso Kaze, who seemed to have little interest, in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"No," Akaso Kaze gathered his thoughts and said, "Sonoko, introduce me to the passengers on this ship."
"What? You think the airship is the clue Lord Akaso found, so he went to ride it?" At the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure looked at Takagi, who was reporting, with his eyebrows drooping, his eyelids twitching.
"Idiot! That's the Suzuki family's airship, what's so strange about him going up there?!"
"But it's too much of a coincidence," Takagi shrank his neck in the saliva sprayed by Megure, "The last day of the 7-day deadline happens to be the day the airship departs."
"Then tell me, why wouldn't Lord Akaso just tell us directly?"
"This…"
"Forget it. I had to stake my reputation to get a chance to participate in the investigation, but I haven't been able to find any further clues."
Megure interrupted Takagi in a deep voice.
"Regardless, today is the final deadline predicted by the criminal group. Before they launch a biochemical terrorist attack, we must investigate clearly as soon as possible. I'll leave the matter of keeping in touch with Lord Akaso to you. Notify me the moment there is any news."
"Yes!" Takagi stood straight, saluted with great energy, and ran out of the office.
Megure sighed softly and turned back to look at the sky outside the window.
Honestly, he was also very strange as to why Akaso Kaze would go to ride an airship at such a critical moment. Could it be that he had already given up?
He had entrusted Akaso Kaze before because he felt it was very likely they wouldn't be able to intervene in this matter.
Because it involved a biochemical terrorist attack, this was always the responsibility of the Public Security Bureau. The First Investigation Division was able to participate in the investigation this time by starting from the explosion case, and Akaso Kaze was not only a special advisor but his own ability was absolutely trustworthy.
But now, not only was there no news from the Public Security Bureau, but even the First Investigation Division had no results. They could only rely on Akaso Kaze.
"Lord Akaso."
Megure muttered to himself while looking out the window, his face full of worry.
Although he felt it was unlikely, besides arranging for his subordinates to continue the investigation, he could only hold hope for Akaso Kaze.
He hoped that Akaso Kaze had really found a clue, rather than going to play or just escaping at such a critical moment.
After case after case, Akaso Kaze had long since become a god-like figure in his heart; it seemed there was no case that could stump Akaso Kaze.
Should he be able to trust him?
His intuition told him that this incident was not a terrorist attack, and the criminal group must have some special goal, and today was the last chance to stop them.
Suzuki I airship.
Just as Megure was muttering to himself at the Metropolitan Police Department, Akaso Kaze had already obtained the passenger list provided by Sonoko, as well as a list of crew members. It would be difficult to investigate the numerous crew members in a short time, so Akaso Kaze was more concerned about the passengers.
Excluding the friends Sonoko invited and the police brought by Ginzo Nakamori, there were only 4 remaining passengers: 3 staff members from Nichiuri TV, and a freelance news reporter, Fujioka Takamichi.
Akaso Kaze's suspicion of an inside man was placed among these 4 people, and in addition, there were old man Jirokichi's bodyguards and those crew members.
