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

Chapter 250 Threat
The SKJ865 flight has been completely taken over by the Steel Society.

Takeo Miura attached great importance to this operation, and to that end, he deployed three of himself at once to ensure its absolute success.

Those are the three cadres wearing black masks currently on the plane.

The black masks on the faces of these three cadres allow them to share memories synchronously within a certain range, making them perceive themselves as the same person, only because they are too far away from Tokyo.

Therefore, even the masks on their faces could no longer connect them with the real chairman of the Steel Guild.

The only way to communicate with the chairman of the Steel Guild was through a communicator, but even that communicator failed completely after the vehicle continued to run, turning into scrap metal, and was eventually dismantled into parts and thrown aside.

The steel association's cadres occupied three cabins of flight SKJ865.
Five armed thugs were stationed in each of the three cabins of flight SKJ865, controlling the passengers. They showed no concern for the passengers' lives, if it weren't for the need to make the upcoming fireworks display spectacular.

The Steel Society leaders had already ordered these thugs to slaughter all the other passengers on the plane.

Looking at the corpse of Makiju lying on the ground, unattended, Chaki Shintaro frowned, a hint of anger rising in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to get up and take action, but saw Kogoro Mouri on the other side shake his head slightly.

—Now is not the time to take action.

Kogoro Mouri is confident in his fighting skills; he can subdue an armed assailant in an instant. If Ran Mouri were to join the fight, she could also take down an enemy, but it's uncertain whether Shintaro Chaki could.

This officer was formerly one of the Metropolitan Police Department's elite officers.

Those who can reach the rank of inspector or above are all highly skilled professionals, without a doubt. However, Chaki Shintaro is already old, and he may not be able to subdue an armed criminal instantly. Even if he could, there would only be one person.

If everyone works together, they can only subdue a maximum of three people.

The number of armed assailants far exceeds three. Upon hearing the commotion, assailants from other cabins will follow, and all first-class passengers will perish as a result.

"hateful……"

Kogoro Mouri cursed inwardly.
"If only I had a handgun right now."

Putting aside his past crime-solving abilities within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, his marksmanship was undoubtedly among the best in the department. If there were a handgun available now...
He was confident that he could use rapid fire to quickly eliminate the five armed thugs in the first-class cabin, so that he wouldn't be in a situation where he was hesitant to act.

At this moment, the other passengers in first class were also watching.

Shinjo's gaze fell on the person wearing the black skull mask.

His eyes narrowed slightly, sensing something was amiss.
Koizumi Akako had already fully revealed his identity and abilities to him. The night before last, Koizumi Akako told him that the flight would not encounter any danger, so why is it in this situation now?
Was Hongzi's prophetic ability interfered with?
Shinjo Kō thought about what Akako had once mentioned to him—

Magical prophecies are not omnipotent.

If the other party possesses a magical item, she will have a prophetic deviation and may even be unable to predict the occurrence of the event. So, does that mean the black mask on the villain's face is one of the magical items?
Did this thing interfere with Hongzi's judgment?

Shinjō Kō's expression was not very good.

His true identity is Kaito Kid, the phantom thief who infiltrated flight SKJ865 to steal the "Destiny Jewel" from Maki Juri, as instructed in the pre-announcement letter. However, during boarding...
After kissing Maki's hand, he noticed something was off about the luster of the gemstone on her hand. — This wasn't genuine; it was a fake.

If he hadn't noticed this, he would have stolen Maki's Destiny Gem during their first encounter, instead of leaving it in Maki's hands.

Kaito Kid's gaze then fell on the abandoned corpse next to Maki.

The Destiny Gem she wore on her hand
The five thugs in first class didn't even glance at the item after entering the cabin. This suggests that either they knew the gem in Mu Shuli's hand was fake, or they genuinely weren't there for the money.

Did they really come on this flight to seek revenge on Sonoko Suzuki?
This is perhaps a bit too absurd.

What evil could a high school girl, even if she were the daughter of the Suzuki Group, the largest conglomerate in the Kanto region, possibly do to warrant such a violent criminal gang hijacking a plane for revenge?
Kaito Kid couldn't figure out the answer.

Not only did Kaito Kid not know, but even Sonoko Suzuki didn't know.

Conan, who considers himself Sonoko Suzuki's childhood friend, feels the same way.

He frowned, glanced at Ai Haibara beside him, and made a hand gesture without turning his head—

These are tactical hand signals he learned from his father, Yusaku Kudo, while on vacation in Hawaii.

As a member of the Black Organization, Ai Haibara, who had received at least some training, naturally understood it.

She kept an eye on the thugs and responded with hand gestures in return.

—This is not a member of the Black Organization.

Her Black Organization radar failed her; her targeted, keen intuition was right.

Note the information given by Ai Haibara.

Conan's brow furrowed involuntarily.

He didn't believe these people were truly there for revenge against Sonoko Suzuki, but judging from the current situation, these thugs didn't seem to have any other desires...

Is it really for revenge?
"Not Sonoko Suzuki, but the Suzuki Foundation?"

Conan thought to himself,
He knew that Kaito Kid was definitely inside the first-class cabin. With him, Ai Haibara, and Kaito Kid working together, and if Ran, the old man, and Chaki Shintaro also helped, they could definitely take down the thugs in the first-class cabin without firing a single shot.

However, he didn't know how many rioters were still in the two cabins behind.

This has made him somewhat hesitant to act rashly, as this is an airplane at high altitude, and anyone who gets injured could die due to lack of treatment.

Most importantly, these rioters only threatened the captain in the cockpit to continue flying along the original route.
He could tolerate the fact that he hadn't yet attempted to seize control of the plane; he would wait until he knew the exact number of the thugs before taking action and eliminating them.

No, things seem to have changed!
