Chapter 1088

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"If you don't believe me, go take a look under the sofa on the left."

"Hey! Don't hang up yet!"

The strange phone call attracted everyone's attention. Sonoko was still worrying about the cake, and seeing this, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Uncle?"

"N—nothing, just a prank call."

Jirokichi Suzuki put down the phone with sweat on his face, smiled at Sonoko, and turned gravely to Ginzo Nakamori, who had also heard the content of the call.

Conan didn't know the content of the call, but he noticed the expressions of old man Jirokichi and Ginzo Nakamori. Watching old man Jirokichi, who followed a group of police officers and left the restaurant, he asked Akaso Kaze in a low voice, "Akaso-san, that phone call…"

"I know."

Akaso Kaze's expression was calm.

He heard the words "smoking room." He was very certain that the criminal group didn't have that kind of dangerous bacterium, whether it was his own impression or through the prediction magic.

In other words, it was very likely that the other party was setting up a smokescreen right now. Of course, regardless, it all indicated that the other party was about to start acting.

Outside the smoking room was a small bar, also located by the deck.

Ginzo Nakamori and a subordinate put on gas masks and gloves, cautiously pushed open the door, and entered the smoking room to search.

"Inspector!"

The subordinate quickly found the opened ampoule bottle under the sofa on the left, and there was a Red Siamese Cats logo on the bottle.

Ginzo Nakamori nodded, didn't touch the ampoule bottle, but first took a picture and confirmed it with the headquarters.

"It is indeed that kind of ampoule bottle…"

Metropolitan Police Department, Megure replied immediately after receiving the picture.

"The police didn't make the information about this kind of ampoule bottle public, so the man on the phone should be those guys.

I guess the ampoule bottle in the parking lot was deliberately left by the other party, and the goal was to make us confirm the authenticity of the ampoule bottle in the smoking room.

In short, I will report to my superiors first. As for the airship… By the way, Lord Akaso is on it, right?"

"Yeah," Ginzo Nakamori frowned, "I originally wanted to deal with Kid, but I didn't expect to run into this kind of thing. Wait, you wouldn't have received the news long ago and invited him over, would you?"

"Not at all. I only learned about the situation from you just now. Then, I'll leave the airship side to you for now." Megure breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and hung up the phone.

"Hello?"

Ginzo Nakamori put away the phone angrily, turned to Jirokichi Suzuki and his subordinates, and said, "Seal the smoking room immediately. To be cautious, it's best to isolate the bar here as well!"

"Yes!" A police officer hurriedly went to the restaurant to notify everyone.

Akaso Kaze and Conan stood outside the bar watching the police leave.

Unlike him, Conan's face looked increasingly ugly, as the situation happening before his eyes didn't look like nothing was wrong at all.

"Akaso-san, what exactly is going on?"

"Let's wait and see."

Akaso Kaze stood calmly with his hands in his pockets, not in a hurry or panic.

He was also a bit strange. If the criminal group wanted to hijack this airship, there was no need to be so troublesome.

With the other party's armament, as long as they could sneak in, they would be almost unimpeded, because the police led by Nakamori on the ship were aiming for Kid and didn't carry guns at all.

If it was said that it was to create chaos to facilitate sneaking in, it seemed to have had the opposite effect so far.

Could it be that he thought wrong, and the criminal group didn't intend to hijack the airship?

"Oh no, Inspector!" The police officer who had just gone to notify everyone suddenly rushed back, "Someone has already been infected!"

"What?" Ginzo Nakamori was shocked.

In the restaurant, Fujioka, who was covered in red rashes, had already been knocked unconscious. Just as Ran, who was going to take action, went to disinfect, the long-haired waitress also suddenly fainted on the ground, and the red rashes on her right palm and left arm were clearly visible.

Seeing this situation when he returned to the restaurant, Nakamori's head was huge, and he couldn't care about dealing with Kid at all.

"…Damn it, has anyone else entered the smoking room?" Nakamori asked, looking at the crowd. After not getting a response, he turned to Jirokichi Suzuki and asked, "Is there any place where we can isolate the two of them?"

"There is a ward in the infirmary. Although there are no doctors accompanying us this time, it would be very suitable to use it for isolation."

"Good, then move the two of them there. Just in case, seal this restaurant as well, and everyone go to the lounge!"

A few police officers who had taken protective measures helped the unconscious Fujioka and the long-haired waitress away. Sonoko looked at this scene uneasily and leaned against Akaso Kaze.

"By the way," Professor Agasa suddenly asked, "Where are the kids?"

"They're probably exploring everywhere on the airship," Conan said with a headache, "I'll go find them and bring them back."

"Akaso-san," Sonoko hugged Akaso Kaze's arm, her mood low, "If I hadn't invited everyone, we wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

"It's fine. The maiden voyage of the world's number one airship isn't something everyone has the chance to ride."

Akaso Kaze's gaze had been fixed on Fujioka, and he shook his head slightly, "Stay with Ran and don't move around. I'll solve the trouble."

He had already identified one inside man, and he was also very certain that there were no bacteria.
