Chapter 883: How is it, do you feel better?

Flight 865 took off at 18:15. As Maki Juri and Sakai Natsuki arrived at the airport to meet up, everyone hurried to check in, passed through the gate, and followed the crowd onto the plane.

First class was located on the second floor, directly connected to the cockpit. It was much more spacious and comfortable than economy class, and there were fewer people; this theater troupe was quite wealthy.

Ai and Akaso Kaze sat behind Sakai Natsuki, while in front of Sakai Natsuki, Maki Juri sat alone in an aisle seat.

Conan had been staring at Maki Juri from the airport all the way onto the plane, especially at the sapphire Maki Juri wore on her right hand.

He had let Kaitou Kid escape last time, but there was still a chance this time.

A major reason why Conan wanted to catch Kaitou Kid so badly was that Kaitou Kid had escaped from Akaso Kaze's hands.

If he caught him, wouldn't that prove he was stronger than Akaso Kaze?

For this reason, Conan was full of motivation.

"Relax," Akaso Kaze smiled at Conan, "the plane hasn't even taken off yet."

"I'm not worried about the plane; I'm worried about Kaitou Kid."

Conan said solemnly, "I've been thinking, did he really want to steal the jewel yesterday? It didn't look like the Kid of the past at all."

"You mean to say, Kid's goal yesterday was to make the theater troupe lower their guard."

Akaso Kaze changed to a more comfortable position.

He had known this all along, and he also knew that Kaitou Kid still wouldn't make a move today.

"Indeed, that warning letter didn't seem to say he would strike during yesterday's performance."

"I only just realized it too," Conan explained, "the four English words at the beginning of the warning letter actually refer to communication codes."

"They are radio communication codes. For the 26 letters from A to Z, to prevent mishearing, corresponding word codes are used. Reo is R, Juliet is J, Victor is V, and Bravo is B."

"This kind of communication code is also used in aircraft radio communication, so the meaning of 'dancing and intersecting among the 26 letters' in the warning means he intends to commit the crime on a plane that uses these letters, and it's on this outbound flight."

"Because of that playing card, he tore the spade 2 into two halves, meaning odd numbers that cannot be divided by 2. Only flights departing from Tokyo are odd numbers like this Flight 865; all return flights are even numbers."

Conan analyzed it and felt very refreshed. He turned his head and asked puzzledly: "Akaso-niisan, why didn't you interrupt me today?"

Akaso Kaze smiled and said: "You cried so hard at my place last time, it was really too pitiful, so I'm giving you a chance to deduce. How is it, do you feel better?"

Conan had a face full of black lines.

It was a bit satisfying at first, but now it was all gone.

Why was I pitiful?

But thinking about last time, it really did seem quite pitiful.

"Excuse me," Shinjo Kun suddenly arrived in first class amidst hurried footsteps, "sorry to keep everyone waiting!"

"Mr. Shinjo?"

The troupe members turned their heads one after another to look at Shinjo Kun appearing at the top of the stairs: "Weren't you feeling unwell and couldn't come with us?"

"Yes, but I feel much better now. Since I was idle anyway, I decided to come with everyone."

Shinjo Kun smiled lightly, put away his sunglasses, walked straight to Maki Juri, and gentlemanly crouched down to kiss the back of Maki Juri's hand: "Queen Josephine, sorry, I'm late..."

Maki Juri didn't appreciate it; instead, she lowered her voice and blamed him: "Why didn't you do as I told you?"

Shinjo smiled: "It's okay, don't worry, there's still time to prepare when we get there..."

Conan's gaze fell between Maki Juri's fair and slender fingers; Shinjo happened to kiss the sapphire, but he didn't make any further moves...

Even with magic, it's impossible to swap it like this.

"Do you think he could be Kid? Someone who wasn't supposed to come suddenly shows up." Conan asked Akaso Kaze in a low voice.

"No need to ask, he is!"

Akaso Kaze said casually, almost choking Conan to death.

You just told me to deduce, damn it.

Revealing the answer directly like this, what the hell am I supposed to deduce!

"Attention, colleagues," the plane's broadcast sounded, "all personnel on board, please close the cabin doors immediately."

"Dear passengers, thank you very much for flying with Sky Japan Airlines. If you need any service, please press the service button, and we will come to serve you as soon as possible."

"Juri," another actress in front, Tajima Tenko, saw Maki Juri holding her forehead in discomfort and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Maki Juri's face looked a bit ugly: "A little, I just feel a bit dizzy..."

"Take some vitamins," Tajima Tenko poured two vitamin pills into Maki Juri's hand.

After a brief period of turbulence, the plane successfully took off.

"Ah," Ayumi suddenly felt the surroundings quiet down, and her ears felt a bit uncomfortable, "Why do my ears feel weird?"

Genta tugged at his ears: "Me too."

"It's because of the change in air pressure."

Ai looked at her magazine and reminded them: "You can try pinching your nose and exhaling, but don't use too much force, or you'll get dizzy."
