Chapter 10: Finally Landing
"Tower, this is MN1993, 10 nautical miles from the runway, 3000 feet, we are ready to land. Repeat, we are ready to land."

The captain's voice was low and clear, his eyes fixed on the runway lights flickering faintly in the night ahead.

"MN1993, this is Tower. Runway 24 right is available, wind direction 240 at 10 knots. Cleared to land on Runway 24 right."

The two pilots in the cockpit had no idea what had happened in the cabin over the past three hours.

After getting permission, the captain's voice suddenly rang out on the broadcasting system. His calm tone, which was inconsistent with the atmosphere in the cabin, made the entire cabin quiet for a moment.

"Dear passengers, this is the captain's announcement. We are about to land at Tokyo Metropolitan Airport. The current local time is 3:15 pm and the ground temperature is 10 degrees Celsius.

The aircraft may encounter turbulence during landing, so please do not move around in the cabin. Thank you for your cooperation."

Obviously, there is no time left to continue reasoning.

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth, a hint of urgency and determination flashed in his eyes: "Damn it, give me another minute!"

Suddenly, a clear name emerged in his mind.

"Wait, I already know—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the last sound from the microphone beside his ear -

"Click", it was the sound of the phone being hung up directly, like a dull thud hitting Kudo's heart.

It was Lin Sheng who took the call from Okada Naoko. He didn't even frown and just pressed the hang-up button.

"This is actually a misunderstanding."

Lin Sheng raised his head and clapped his hands, like a director directing a large-scale drama, drawing everyone's puzzled gaze to himself. "Stand up, Dr. Hashimoto. I appreciate your efforts."

The next second, his gaze turned to the other side of the cabin, "Also, Tian Yang, how long are you going to hide in the infirmary?"

Everyone stared in amazement as the "dead secretary" Ameda Hiroshi walked out from behind the infirmary door with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"The dead secretary is alive again!" Even the timid ones shouted.

"Ah, actually I'm not dead at all, this is actually-"

Yu Tianyang wanted to explain how this happened, but Lin Sheng interrupted him.

"I know everyone might be confused right now, but that's why I told Ms. Naoko not to rush to report to the control tower," Lin Sheng said, looking at Ota Xiaochuan. "This is actually a puzzle I designed for Mr. Ota, and it seems that Mr. Ota has done a very good job."

"and many more!"

Naoko Okada couldn't believe that all this was fake. Her voice was filled with shock and confusion. The rapid ups and downs of things made her mind a mess.

"You mean... there wasn't a murder on our flight?"

Now Ota Xiaochuan and everyone else in the conference room felt like someone had nailed nails into a soft carpet.

"All of this, all of this..."

"Yes," Lin Sheng said with some apology in his tone.

"I sincerely apologize for the panic I've caused you. As compensation for the shock you've suffered, I've prepared a gift of approximately 50,000 yuan for each of you."

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with the gift, you can convert it into cash.

However, the plane is about to land. I will have Secretary Yu explain the specific arrangements to everyone after we land. After all, I believe everyone is also very curious about the case. "

Lin Sheng smiled slyly, "What could be clearer than the deceased himself explaining the circumstances of the case?"

The tense and depressing atmosphere was swept away, and the cabin was filled with happy laughter again - this was of course fake.

But the expressions of surprise and anger after being teased gradually gave way to a complex emotion, and some even smiled quietly. Now was the time for money.

In such an atmosphere full of doubts and confusion, everyone, especially Datian Xiaochuan——

He had no idea why Mr. Lin had designed such a complicated case to test him. He even wondered if what he had said in the meeting a few days ago had led to the current situation.

What does this have to do with me? I don't seem to be Mr. Lin's employee, nor have I submitted my resume to Mr. Lin?

But the plane was about to land, so he returned to his seat.

As the plane gradually lowered its altitude and approached the runway, the details of the ground outside the window became clearer and clearer, and the lights on the runway could be vaguely seen flashing.

To the cabin crew, it was just a slightly frightening joke played by a quirky, detective-loving millionaire during the three boring hours of the flight.

However, considering the "sincere" compensation that followed, even the wronged chef and flight attendant could not say anything.

But for Lin Sheng, the ten-day cycle finally came to an end!
He finally got rid of this damn plane and flight——

He really shouldn't have chosen only chicken pasta as the flavor of fast food!
A feeling of relief filled Lin Sheng's mind. Even the mechanical sound of the wing flaps deploying and the low hum of the tires rubbing against the runway sounded so pleasant.

As the plane touched the ground with a slight jolt, some people in the cabin swayed slightly. Then, the engine reversers activated, and with a low roar, the plane gradually slowed down.

We have arrived in Tokyo.

……

Later that day, Kudo Shinichi, who had been searching various news channels for information about "plane" and "murder case", finally received news from Detective Mori.

"What?" Kudo Shinichi folded his hands casually behind his head and clamped the phone with his neck. He was a little speechless. "It turns out that this is a case game played by a weird rich man on the plane..."

"I was wondering why Uncle Mori solved the case so quickly." Kudo Shinichi kept this in his heart.

After all, he knew that if he really said it on the phone, he might have to face Xiaolan's karate at school tomorrow.

"Well," Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head and made a guilty sound. He was indeed a little embarrassed. "Anyway, the case fee has been transferred."

But when his eyes fell on the check on the coffee table, his expression suddenly changed to a smug one, and his tone was also somewhat self-consoling:

"It's better than a real murder happening."

"Dad, how long are you going to occupy the phone?" Xiaolan walked over from the kitchen while wiping the water stains on her hands, frowning slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "I still have to talk to Shinichi!"

"It's that brat again," Kogoro frowned immediately and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Despite this, he handed the phone over reluctantly, but when his daughter wasn't paying attention, he quickly folded the check with his other hand and put it into the inside pocket of his suit. His movements were quick and decisive, like a habitual criminal.

"Hehe, now I have money to bet on horses again!" Kogoro lowered his voice, but his tone was still full of unconcealable excitement and pride.

Xiaolan took the phone, completely unaware of her father's little movements.

Compared to the case, she is more concerned about the appointment with Shinichi this weekend. What happened today made her feel that she still needs to teach a lesson to a high school student who is obsessed with puzzles.

"Kudo Shinichi," Ran deliberately stretched out her tone, exuding a threatening aura around her, "Do you remember that you agreed to go to Dorobiga Tropical Paradise with me this weekend?"

"Ah! Of course I remember!" Kudo Shinichi sat up straight on the sofa as if he had received an electric shock, and almost broke out in a cold sweat. "Ah! It's Dobigaro Tropical Paradise, right? Of course I remember it!"

Xiaolan on the other end of the phone twitched her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a vein appeared on her forehead:
"Shinichi!" Her voice rose an octave, her tone full of menace, "You even said the name of the park wrong, try it tomorrow when you go to school!"

"Shinichi!" It was obvious that a certain high school detective who couldn't even pronounce the name of the park correctly was going to be in big trouble at school tomorrow.

Kudo Shinichi suddenly didn't want to go to school tomorrow.
