I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 232 No, you really turned yourself in? Aren't you the movie version's BOSS?
Mu Shuli's hype plan was a great success.

Just like every action she has taken before, every single one has been a success, transforming her from an ordinary flight attendant who left her job seven years ago into Tokyo's hottest drama star right now!

Every time she thought of this, Sakai Natsuki couldn't help but feel furious.

Why does Maki always get such good results? Why is Maki the one who realizes her dream?

She should have been one of those who achieved her dreams...

After leaving the Cosmic Theater,
Sakai Natsuki returned home alone and sat on the sofa.
She held her head in her hands, feeling the anger in her heart burning and growing stronger.

—She'll make Mu Shuli pay the price!
The cost of life!
------

Natsuki Sakai's dream is to become a Hollywood makeup artist.

With this dream in mind, she went to study at a beauty school in Los Angeles and also learned to speak fluent English.

After returning to Japan, Sakai Natsuki gained experience by helping Maki Juri with her makeup.

Meanwhile, he sent job applications to Hollywood.

Hard work pays off.

A month ago, a Hollywood actress visited Japan and met with Natsuki Sakai. Her agent highly praised Sakai's makeup skills and said that if given the opportunity, the agent would definitely hire Sakai as a makeup artist.

She was convinced this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, just as the actress's agent was preparing to offer Sakai Natsuki a contract,
However, someone secretly sabotaged things, causing her manager's favorability towards her to decline continuously, and eventually severing ties with Sakai Natsuki.

That person is Maki!

Maki Kuri ruined my Hollywood makeup dream!
------

Sakai Natsuki harbored murderous intent.

She knew that Mu Shuli did this simply to keep her, a talented makeup artist, by his side, leaving her nowhere to go, so that she could become a servant that Mu Shuli could order around at will.

However, she could not tolerate such a thing happening, especially when Maki was about to realize her dream!
"As long as we kill Makiju..."

Sakai Natsuki said in a low voice,

She has already thought about it.

Maki Juri's favorite food is chocolate, and when she eats chocolate, she unconsciously licks off the remaining cocoa powder on her fingers. All she needs to do is mix the poison into her foundation.

Then, we'll touch up Maki's makeup and make her ingest the poison along with it, which will kill her instantly!
Moreover, such a murder would not arouse suspicion against her.

Because Maki Juri always thought she had nowhere to go, she maintained a fairly close relationship with her on the surface. In addition, since Maki Juri was poisoned after eating the chocolate ball, others would only suspect that the person who bought the chocolate poisoned it.

The person who bought the chocolate was the gloomy, long-haired, bespectacled girl who always followed Maki.

To be precise, it was Maki's secretary, Masayo Yaguchi!

That child is dull-witted and has nothing to offer except for her appearance. She can easily gain Yaguchi Masaya's trust, then make Yaguchi Masaya take the blame. After they get off the plane, the police will check the chocolate's ingredients.
It will eventually be discovered that Masayo Yaguchi did not poison anyone, and then this will be closed as an unsolved case, with no one harmed.

Except for that Mushu who ruined her dreams...

"If you're going to kill someone, do you have to do it on an airplane?"

An unfamiliar voice entered my ears.

Just as Sakai Natsuki was lost in her own fantasy, she suddenly looked up into the darkness.

Although she couldn't see anything there, and it seemed like there was nothing there, the sound was coming from there. She was certain that something was talking there!

But this is indoors, in her house… “Who are you? How did you get in?”

Sakai Natsuki asked in a trembling voice.

She instinctively stepped back, about to say something,
Then, she heard the person in the darkness recount her criminal plan in detail.
"You're going to poison the foundation next, no, you've already poisoned it, that's why you don't let the kids touch it."

"Then, you'll touch up Maki's makeup before she boards the plane. Maki's hands will definitely have some foundation powder on them, and when she eats chocolate balls and licks cocoa powder, she'll ingest the toxins along with them."

"However, what you overlooked is that Maki likes Western etiquette, such as kissing hands."

Chen En asked in a calm voice,
"Do you think the captain or co-pilot would refuse Maki Shuri's request if she asked them to greet her with a kiss on the hand? If the plane goes out of control as a result, who will take responsibility?"

"You? Do you think you can take this responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Sakai Natsuki suddenly looked up at Chen En.

How could such a thing possibly happen?

The probability is so small as to be almost impossible; such a coincidence is impossible!
But if such a thing were to actually happen...

Sakai Natsuki lowered her head and said, somewhat devastated,
"I have no idea!"

"Even if you explained it to me, I wouldn't understand!"

"Why are there so many obstacles when I try to destroy Makiju's dream, but it's so easy for Makiju to destroy mine? Why? Why is this world so unfair?"

In response, Chen En simply approached slowly.
He gazed at Sakai Natsuki before him and said,

"If you want reciprocal retaliation, you can take other measures."

"Instead of resorting to murder, I advise you to turn yourself in now. According to your country's criminal law, if you illegally possess poison, attempt to kill someone, but regret it before doing so, you are guilty of 'prepared murder'."

"The maximum sentence is two years, but if the crime is stopped and the suspect surrenders himself, he will most likely be not prosecuted or given a suspended sentence."

“If you’re willing, I can help you find a job as a makeup artist in Hollywood, but if you still insist on doing so, then I’ll send you to the ICU.”

Speaking of which,

Chen En had already quietly taken out a crowbar and asked,

"Choose: turn yourself in, or continue fighting to the death?"

However, Sakai Natsuki hadn't seen Chen En's crowbar at all; she was just burying her head in her hands and crying. After a while, she said...

"of course……"

Oh, really? Are you going to fight me like the movie bosses Teiji Moriya and Kyosuke Kazato?

I really can't do anything with you, so I'll just have to give it my all.

Chen En slowly raised the crowbar in his hand.
Then, he heard Natsuki Sakai say,

"...If what you're saying is true, then...I'll turn myself in..."

"Ah!!! What, what are you holding in your hand?"

Chen En: ?
I was just telling you, are you really going to turn yourself in?

However, I'm not one to make empty promises. Since you're really willing to turn yourself in, I might be able to help you out.
