Seven armed men proceeded cautiously and quickly broke into the cabin.

After leaving two people to check the guest rooms, the others continued to approach upwards.

The only leader who had taken off his mask had already contacted his inside contact and knew that the passengers had been gathered in the lounge hall opposite the restaurant.

The remaining areas that need to be controlled are the galley, the cockpit, and the observation deck on the top of the airship.

Chi Chufeng held a detective badge, his ears twitching as he heard a series of footsteps coming from below.

“All seven people have gone,” Conan said after explaining the situation to Akaso Kaze through his detective badge. “We’ll find a way to defuse all the bombs.”

"Be careful."

Chi Chufeng closed the communication and said to Kidd, "Anyway, I'll leave this to you. I have some things to take care of."

"Okay." Kidd also heard the noise and returned to the rest room with a troubled expression.

Chi Chufeng really thinks highly of him, actually entrusting him with such a troublesome matter. If he were attacked by several guns, he would be lucky to even be able to protect himself. Besides, there is also Officer Nakamori at the scene.

On the deck, Aka Chufeng evaded the menacing armed personnel and entered the smoking room alone. He suspected that the ampoule containing the deadly bacteria was still under the sofa on the left, but there was nothing else unusual.

According to his speculation, the reason why the long-haired girl developed a rash was because she touched something when she came here to smoke, or perhaps the entire smoking room was sprayed with some substance that easily causes rashes.

Fujioka deliberately caused himself to develop a rash all over his body in order to mislead people into subconsciously associating the rash with an infection.

Since it happened right after the police discovered the bacterial leak in the smoking room, no one would suspect anything.

As a result, Fujioka and the long-haired waitress who had fainted were taken to the examination room and given the opportunity to move around freely. It was at this moment that someone went to the airship pier to open the entrance and exit.

If I'm not mistaken, Fujioka is still in the clinic directing operations.

Chi Chufeng quietly left the smoking room and sat down at the bar counter.

Fujioka had previously tried to invite Uncle Mori over for a smoke, probably hoping to isolate him as well.

After the failure, it seems that the uncle was drugged again. Since drinking beer during afternoon tea, the uncle has been in a deep sleep ever since. He couldn't even be woken up when something as important as the bacterial leak happened. It was only with his help that he was able to get to the rest room.

Speaking of which, before afternoon tea, Fujioka also tried to get close to him by trying to be friendly, but he avoided her. He probably wanted to make him get a rash and be isolated, thus clearing away any obstacles.

Xiaolan is the same way.

Chapter 634 Things Are Strange

"Attention all crew members," Jiro Suzuki's voice suddenly rang out over the ship's intercom, "Assemble immediately in the mess hall. I repeat, all crew members."

Chi Chufeng raised his head but did not choose to leave the bar.

His identity would definitely arouse suspicion, and it wouldn't be a good idea for him to go there as a hostage. Besides, the smoking room is relatively safe for the time being.

Beep!

In the airship's rest area, with all the crew members confined to the dining room on the other side, Ai hid behind Sonoko and quietly turned on her listening device, transmitting her voice to Akatsuki. She looked like a frightened little girl, which went unnoticed.

"Hmph," the bearded leader said coldly to the group in the break room after receiving confirmation from his subordinates in the restaurant across the street. "This airship has been hijacked by us Red Siamese Cats. Everyone, hand over your phones!"

"I don't have a cell phone." Ai looked pitifully at the gunman approaching with a bag from behind Sonoko.

The gunman didn't pay any attention, and after taking Sonoko and Randi's phones, he turned to Uncle Mori, who was still fast asleep.

"Dad! Wake up!" Xiaolan anxiously tried to wake the uncle, but the gunman seemed to have expected it and directly took the phone from the uncle's arms, then went to look for the others.

Reluctantly, Nakamori Ginzo handed over his phone, staring intently at the bearded leader and asking, "What exactly do you want? Money, or the release of your accomplice who's currently serving time?!"

The bearded leader grinned and said, "To be honest, we have a deep-seated grudge against the Suzuki Group, especially against this old man."

Suzuki Jirokichi gritted his teeth, facing the gun pointed at him by the leader, sweat beading on his eyes: "I'm willing to be a hostage, please let the others go!"

"Impossible, the spaceship must continue its journey to Osaka."

The leader snorted and handed the phone back to Nakamori, forcing him with a pistol, "Contact the police. And while you're at it, pass on this message: if you dare to make any rash moves, this ship will explode."

In the bar, Chi Chufeng listened silently, pressing his earpiece.

In addition to the bomb, the other party also appeared to pull out a vial of deadly bacteria as a threat.

They've already planted a bomb, yet they're still threatening us with so-called deadly germs.

Moreover, they proactively requested to contact the police, as if they were afraid the police wouldn't know.

So far, things have been very strange; the trick of using the killer bacteria seems to have some deeper meaning than being used to threaten the people on the ship.

“We’ve found three bombs,” Conan reported via his detective badge. “One is behind the smoking room. Strange, if, as you said, the bacteria are a decoy, why would they plant a bomb here? There are four bombs in total. Planting them near the fuel tank makes sense, but here…”

“Let’s defuse the bomb first,” Chi Chufeng interrupted. “The other side has an inside man who might come looking for you.”

"Okay, then I'll leave the upstairs to you." Conan said, looking at the elevator going up ahead. He noticed the bearded leader, Suzuki Jiro, who was holding Yoshichi hostage inside, and hurriedly led Ayumi and the others to hide.

The airship sailed smoothly above the clouds, with the clear blue ocean below. The islanders, oblivious to anything unusual, were instead filled with envy as the airship passed by.

While eavesdropping in the ship's bar, Chi Chufeng examined the airship's structural diagrams and marked the enemy's current location on them with a pen.

The captain, chef, and bodyguards had all been gathered in the restaurant after the announcement.

Two gunmen were guarding the hostages, while in the rest room, which was symmetrical to the restaurant, there were also two gunmen besides the leader.

As for the remaining two, one gunman guarded the observation deck in the sky, while the other took over the piloting of the airship. However, the flight direction remained unchanged, still heading straight towards Osaka.

But why leave a gunman at the Sky Observation Deck?

According to Conan's information, after the leader took the old man Suzuki Jirokichi hostage to retrieve the gem "Sky Lady" from above, the other party remained there.

0 ...... .......

If the purpose was to prevent the police from boarding the ship, they should have been monitoring from the top of the airship.

Although the transparent roof of the Sky Observation Deck can be opened, it is not a good defensive position.

Da da.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway outside, and two gunmen led the unconscious producer of Nichiri TV, Mizukawa, toward the bar.

Chi Chufeng put away the blueprints and used magic to conceal his figure.

He had just heard some noise from the rest room. It was said that Mizukawa had also gone to the smoking room, and now his palms were covered in rashes. He had been knocked unconscious by the leader and thrown into the smoking room.

It seems that even the smoking room isn't very safe.

After the two gunmen left, Chi Chufeng followed them down the stairs to the deck where the treatment room was located.

Across the corridor, the door to the examination room could be seen not being closed properly, and the voice of Takamichi Fujioka could be heard coming from inside, seemingly making a phone call with the leader.

Akatsuki quietly approached the examination room and heard Fujioka laugh, "Yes, I tied up a waiter over here. You guys over there... didn't you see the Onmyoji?! Impossible, he must still be somewhere on this airship!"

Chapter 635 What a chatterbox!

Not wanting to alert the enemy, Chi Chufeng quietly left after listening to the phone call.

It has been confirmed that Takashi Fujioka is an inside agent. There is also another one: the short-haired waitress who is the only one who had the opportunity to drug Uncle Mori's beer.

"Speak!" The bearded leader angrily pointed his gun at the group in the break room. "Where's that Onmyoji who was with you earlier? Why didn't he show up?!"

Seeing that everyone remained silent, the bearded man coldly ordered his men, "Find him!"

“That’s strange,” Nichiya Kasumi, a reporter from Nichiri TV, and photographer Ishimoto Junpei whispered, “those kids don’t seem to be here either.”

The bearded man suddenly turned around and looked at Nishiya Kasumi: "Child?"

“Yes,” Nishiya Kasumi said fearfully, pointing at Ai. “I remember there were three boys and one girl, about the same size as that child.”

"What a chatterbox." Professor Agasa and the others watched as the bearded man ordered his men to search for someone again, and they were secretly anxious. Ai Haibara's fingers were so clenched that they turned white.

Perhaps fearing resistance from the crowd, the bearded man only sent out two of his men, but it was still very dangerous for Conan's side. If anything went wrong and Akatsuki took action, all the plans would be for naught.

But that's all we can do for now. We'll deal with these guys first, and deal with the rest later.

Ai gripped the listening device on her body tightly, as if trying to convey her innermost thoughts to Akatsuki.

Regardless, safety is the most important thing, and it remains to be seen whether Chi Chufeng can handle these well-trained terrorists.

"Beep!"

As Akazuka was on his way back to the rest room, he frowned and contacted Conan through his earpiece, saying, "The other side might be looking for you. Be careful."

He quickened his pace and appeared directly at the entrance of the building before the two gunmen could even look for someone.

"Who goes there?!" The two gunmen warily aimed at Chi Chufeng, who had raised his hands.

"Don't misunderstand, I am Chi Chufeng," Chi Chufeng said cooperatively. "I just went to the toilet because I had an upset stomach."

"Where are the children?" the gunman shouted.

"Children? I don't know, I've always been alone."

Chi Chufeng, looking completely innocent, was pushed and shoved into the rest room by two gunmen, his eyes quickly scanning the room.

The situation was much better than he had imagined. Although the people who had been taken hostage looked worried, they were in relatively good condition.

but.

Chi Chufeng's gaze lingered briefly on the two staff members of Nichibuki TV.

There's also an inside man. Both of them seem suspicious. They seemed to have mentioned Conan's affairs unintentionally, but the timing was too coincidental. They were deliberately reminding the robbers, not just being nosy.

As a staff member for this exclusive interview, Nishiya Kasumi remained largely silent, and even during the tour of the ship's interior, only photographer Ishimoto took pictures.
