Chapter 135

Ran said with some concern: "Akaso-san warned us several times yesterday not to get on the plane. If I had known, I would have told him when we came."

Mentioning Akaso Kaze, Conan was unhappy and muttered to himself.

"Why tell him? If he came, he’d steal all the spotlight."

Hiroki Tsuji sat in the cockpit, took out eye drops, put two drops in his eyes, and then piloted the helicopter into the high sky.

Once the plane was steady, he turned his head and said with a smile:

"Everyone, it’s not easy to get a chance to ride a helicopter, so let’s all enjoy the beautiful scenery! We’ll be at Beika Town soon!"

"It’s true!" Conan the brat began to act cute.

Suddenly, a beam of sunlight shot in.

Hiroki Tsuji felt a stinging pain in his eyes, then covered them with both hands and screamed: "My, my eyes! I can’t see!"

"What?!" Everyone on the helicopter was stunned and looked at Hiroki Tsuji in the pilot’s seat together, "Mr. Tsuji, what’s wrong?"

Hiroki Tsuji closed his eyes tightly: "The sunlight, the sunlight is too dazzling, I, I..."

"It’s the eye drops!" Before Hiroki Tsuji could finish, Conan suddenly interrupted, his face darkening.

"Mr. Tsuji used eye drops before the helicopter took off; it’s very likely the eye drops were swapped."

"Damn it! That damn killer!" Uncle Mouri cursed.

Inspector Megure said nervously: "Wait, this isn't the time to talk about that. What about the plane? Brother Mouri, do you know how to fly a plane?"

"Fly a plane? How could I possibly know?"

Acrophobia patient Uncle Mouri curled into a ball.

"Who knows how to fly a plane!" Following Inspector Megure’s fearful shout, everyone was dumbfounded.

Conan’s expression was serious, and he gritted his teeth, "Since that’s the case, I’ll give it a try..."

"Better call Akaso-san."

Ran didn't trust the brat at all and immediately took out her phone, dialing Akaso Kaze’s number.

"Hello, Ran, what’s wrong?"

"Akaso-san, help~"

Ran’s voice immediately became sweet.

Conan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his small arms: "What good will calling him do? I’ll save everyone..."

Thud.

Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head.

A large bump immediately rose.

"You brat, when lives are at stake, don't cause trouble."

Conan clutched his head, tears streaming down from the pain.

Damn it, does no one believe me?

I’ve even simulated flying a helicopter at the museum!

"What, you’re already here?"

Ran suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone turned their heads.

Beside the helicopter, a person was standing in mid-air, with a magical creature flapping its wings beneath his feet.

The sunlight shone on him, emitting a dazzling halo.

He was truly too handsome.

Handsome beyond words.

Ran’s eyes were full of little stars.

Akaso Kaze’s mouth curled up, revealing a top-tier charming smile.

"Don't worry, Ran, I’m here."

Primary magic, Wind Pillar Technique.

Placing a few in the front, back, left, and right, the helicopter immediately stabilized.

"Alright, shut down the engine, I’ll take you down."

To facilitate the manipulation of magic, Akaso Kaze arrived at the bottom of the plane.

Extending his palm, the entire helicopter seemed to be supported by him.

On the campus of Teitan Elementary School.

Ai, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were playing on the playground.

"Ai, let’s go to the restroom together." Ayumi ran over and issued an invitation.

Ai Haibara curled her lip, and the two pretty little girls walked toward the restroom holding hands.

At this moment, in the air, Akaso Kaze swept his gaze downward.

"Teitan Elementary School is not far below; let’s make an emergency landing on the school playground!"

"Everyone, hold on tight."

He told everyone in the plane using telepathic magic.

Everyone grabbed onto various handles.

Inside the Teitan Elementary School teaching building, women’s restroom.

The two little lolis walked into two facing stalls.

It was very quiet for a moment.

After a while, Ayumi’s voice suddenly rang out in the restroom: "Ai, do you like Brother Akaso?"

Ai Haibara was stunned and didn't speak.

"I, I also like Brother Akaso so much."

Ayumi’s sweet voice came from the opposite side.

Ai Haibara curled her lip.

That bad guy is really too charming.

Even a girl as young as Ayumi likes him.

But thinking about it, I’m also this young, and isn't it...

"Ai, let’s become sisters in the future."

Ayumi’s voice came from the opposite side again.

Sisters...

For some reason, hearing Ayumi say this word, Ai Haibara had no intention of refusing.

It was as if there was some inexplicable relationship between the two of them in the dark.

"Then I’ll be the older sister, and you’ll be the younger sister."

Ai Haibara finally spoke.

"Okay!" Ayumi replied with great joy, "Sister, can I come live at your house?"

Oh my?

Ai Haibara’s eyes widened.

I, a genius, actually got tricked by a little girl?

The two girls walked out after using the restroom.

After a while, another small door in the restroom opened, and a girl with long brown hair wearing red clothes poked her head out.

"How strange, both Ai and Ayumi like Brother Akaso."

"Fumino is very curious, who is this Brother Akaso?"

With such a question, the little girl walked out of the restroom.

A cheer erupted on the playground outside.

"Wow, so amazing."

"A big brother is supporting the plane down!"

"So magical!"

"This big brother is really handsome."

Fumino ran out quickly.

She saw a very, very handsome big brother sitting on a large flying dog.

He held his hand up, supporting a huge plane, and slowly landed on the ground.

"It’s Brother Akaso, that’s my Brother Akaso!"

Ayumi ran over excitedly.

Ai Haibara curled her lip and walked over with steady little steps.

Fumino stood behind them, her large eyes staring fixedly at that handsome big brother.

Is this the Brother Akaso they were talking about?

He’s really so handsome~

The little girl’s heart was moved.

[Ding, Fumino Kujyo has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 1.]

Oh my?

Akaso Kaze was a bit puzzled.

What did I do?

How did I receive favorability out of thin air?

He swept his gaze around in the distance, and a little girl in red clothes was blushing and hiding behind a wall.

Who is this?

It’s simply inexplicable.

Akaso Kaze didn't think too much about it.

The plane opened, and Ran had already rushed over.

On the other side was little Ayumi.

Akaso Kaze was holding them in his arms, unable to attend to anyone else.

Watching this scene, Conan had a look of hopelessness on his face.

"Wooo, so envious."

"So jealous."

"Why am I not Brother Akaso?"

Two strange voices came from the side.

Conan turned his head.

Genta and Mitsuhiko were hugging each other and crying.

Damn it, why am I feeling the same emotions as these brats?

Conan looked up.

That way, the tears wouldn't fall.

"So, Mr. Tsuji’s eye drops were really swapped?"

Kogoro Mouri’s question behind him immediately attracted Conan’s attention.

Forget it, I’d better focus on reasoning.

Conan’s attention quickly shifted.

"That’s right, this case of Mr. Tsuji and the previous three cases should be the work of the same person. Because in the plane, we found this!"

Inspector Megure, wearing gloves, took a playing card out of the plane.

10 of Spades!

Looking at the playing card in Inspector Megure’s hand, Conan’s eyes lit up.

Sure enough, does that mean the next one should be nine?

"Uncle, after ten, it seems to be nine." Conan reminded Kogoro Mouri.

"Nine, huh."

Kogoro Mouri frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Among my acquaintances, it seems there’s no one with 'nine' in their name, but as for 'eight', there is one."

"Eight?" Inspector Megure asked quickly, "Who are you talking about?"

"Sommelier Kohei Sawaki!" Kogoro Mouri said a name, "In his name, above the character 'Ko', there is an 'eight' character."

"I see!" Inspector Megure nodded, then reached out and pressed his hat.

"Since you can't think of who is 'nine', let’s go see this Kohei Sawaki first and see if there are any clues!"

"Well, alright!" Uncle Mouri responded and followed Inspector Megure to investigate the case.

Conan looked at the couple still showing affection and painfully turned to follow.

"Eh, where did Dad and Conan go?"

After a long while, Ran Mouri finally came out of Akaso Kaze’s arms.

Turning her head, she saw everyone had run off.

Only a bunch of police officers remained to clean up.

"It’s okay, I know where they went."

Akaso Kaze took an invitation out of his pocket.

It’s really interesting; he actually received an invitation from Katsuyoshi Asahi this morning.

Inviting him to visit the Aqua Crystal.

He’s actually targeting me; that criminal is really not afraid of death.

Akaso Kaze’s mouth curled up.

The Aqua Crystal was built on the sea, with most of its structure beneath the seawater, and the building’s design was also very strange and beautiful.

"So beautiful, it’s really a luxurious place." Ran said.

Suddenly, the sound of tires rubbing against asphalt came from near to far.

A bright red convertible sports car rushed over and stopped in the parking space in front.

A woman stepped out.

A bright red trench coat, a head of red curly hair, wearing pink-rimmed sunglasses, and stepping on red pointed high heels!

The woman took off the sunglasses on her face, revealing purple nails.

Her eyes lit up, and she walked straight toward Akaso Kaze.

"Are you that famous Onmyoji, Lord Akaso Kaze? I am Nana Oyamano."

Nana Oyamano?

Don't know her.

Akaso Kaze looked indifferent.

Ran Mouri on the side quickly asserted her sovereignty and hugged Akaso Kaze’s arm.

Nana Oyamano deliberately twisted her waist and puffed out her chest.

Little girl, I’m a super model, you know.

At this moment, three cars arrived one after another.

A man in a purple suit stepped out of the car and walked over excitedly.

"Are you that famous Onmyoji, Lord Akaso Kaze? I’ve seen reports about you in the newspaper. I’m a photographer, Eimei Shishido."

A few more people got out of the cars behind, writer Minoru Nishina, famous announcer Peter Ford, Kohei Sawaki, as well as Detective Mouri, Conan, Inspector Megure, and Officer Shiratori.

There are quite a few people.
