Chapter 1083

"As an inside man, one needs to be able to move around freely to observe the situation and be able to carry out actions without attracting attention," Akaso Kaze explained to Ai in the guest room, "Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that multiple inside men were arranged."

"And we have to add Kid, right?" Ai interrupted while operating the computer.

"That's not wrong," the scene of boarding the ship appeared in Akaso Kaze's mind.

"I think he's already on the ship. With his disguise ability, it wouldn't be strange for him to pretend to be anyone. But whoever it is, according to his habits, he should go to the gemstone to scout it out in advance."

"So we can find him through this?"

Ai stopped her movements and glanced at Akaso Kaze.

How did it sound like Kaitou Kid was just a minor character?

"Akaso-niisan!" Ayumi knocked on the door outside, "Everyone is going to the Sky Observation Deck, we can see the treasure!"

"Go ahead," Ai said upon hearing this, "I will keep in touch with the Metropolitan Police Department. Inspector Takagi has applied for a police helicopter, so we can get support at any time."

"No rush for now, let's go up and take a look first."

Akaso Kaze waved his hand and walked out of the room with Ai.

There were so many hostages on the ship. Besides making it convenient for the Metropolitan Police Department to understand the situation, a helicopter couldn't help much with anything else. However, he did indeed need to use the power of the Metropolitan Police Department. The criminal group on the ship was not a cause for concern, but since it was a criminal group, there must be other personnel assisting in the evacuation.

He needed the Metropolitan Police Department to help contact the police in each prefecture to solve those other criminals who might be waiting to pick them up somewhere along the way.

"Oh? Is this Lord Akaso?"

In front of the airship elevator, when everyone gathered, a young man with a long face, wearing a military green shirt and slightly rough sideburns, turned his gaze to Akaso Kaze.

"He is that reporter, Fujioka Takamichi, who recommended himself to come," Sonoko whispered in his ear, "He said he really hoped to write a report on the duel between Uncle Jirokichi and Kid. On the other side are the Nichiuri TV producer Mizukawa, cameraman Ishimoto Junpei, and reporter Nishitani Kasumi."

Akaso Kaze followed by looking at the staff members from Nichiuri TV.

The chubby man with glasses was Mizukawa, the young man with a crew cut was Ishimoto Junpei, and the beautiful woman with short brown hair and a delicate, pretty face was Nishitani Kasumi.

"Please take care of me." Nishitani Kasumi saw Sonoko introducing her and smiled politely at Akaso Kaze.

"We meet again, Lord Akaso," the chubby Mizukawa had met Akaso Kaze several times. They hadn't talked much, but they were acquaintances. He stepped forward enthusiastically, "This time it's my turn to do the exclusive broadcast. Although only 3 of us came because we couldn't spare any manpower, with Lord Akaso here, it will definitely be filmed quite brilliantly."

"Not at all."

Akaso Kaze saw Uncle Mouri in his peripheral vision and smiled without saying anything more.

Although the feeling of being famous was quite good, being recognized so casually was also annoying.

"Is everyone here?" A crew member wearing a white uniform greeted everyone, "Then next, I, Asano, the cabin manager, will lead everyone to visit the Sky Observation Deck. You can even see the inside of the airship from the elevator!"

"See the inside?" Mouri Kogoro stiffened, but before he could say anything, he was squeezed by the crowd into the observation elevator, which was surrounded by transparent glass curtains.

"Mr. Mouri, are you okay?" Akaso Kaze looked at Mouri Kogoro, who was shivering in the corner.

"I'm fine, very good, don't worry about me." Mouri Kogoro replied with his eyes closed and his head covered in sweat.

The main body of the airship was like a whale, with a vast internal space and many dense air sacs at the top like a whale's lungs. Besides the elevator leading directly to the top observation deck, there were also many iron ladders.

Akaso Kaze quickly found the entrance and exit on the upper part of the airship during the elevator's ascent; it was a work exit for maintenance personnel.

If someone opened the lock from the inside, the outside could invade the airship from the top.

In other words, the criminal group would probably sneak in through this position.

Akaso Kaze scanned the crowd around him without leaving a trace.

Although that was what he said, wanting to open the entrance without attracting attention didn't seem very easy either.

"Ha." The elevator arrived at the observation deck. Uncle Mouri rushed out at the first opportunity, leaning against the wall and gasping for air, and at this moment, the Sky Observation Deck was officially presented to everyone.

Unlike the passenger cabin hanging below, the Sky Observation Deck was built on the top of the airship, covered by a glass roof, where one could clearly see the blue sky, and there were even coconut trees with coastal scenery inside.

Akaso Kaze ignored the uncle with weak legs, his gaze falling on the gemstone display cabinet surrounded by Ginzo Nakamori's team on the opposite side.

Mouri Kogoro's fear of heights was really quite severe. Only he himself knew how uncomfortable it was. Good luck to him.
