Serabelle held her forehead slightly in her heart.

After all, the plane is a sealed space, especially the first class cabin because the number of seats is not as many as the economy class. Although the average space per person is more spacious, the total space is actually much smaller.

You are amazing for drinking beer and eating snacks in a small and enclosed public space.

"Um……"

Suddenly, a very light groan from Hibari was heard beside him.

Serabelle looked in the direction of the voice and saw the female lawyer put the back of her hand under her nostrils as if her nose was itchy, and then she moved her hand away after a brief pause.

Noticing the gaze of the young man next to her, Kisaki Eri pursed her lips and smiled reservedly.

"It's nothing. Every time I fly, my ears feel a little uncomfortable. Covering my nose to relieve the discomfort makes it much better."

"Oh……"

Serabelle nodded in understanding.

In fact, many people will experience ear discomfort when flying. Usually, it can be cured by swallowing. However, some people may have special situations and need to take other measures.

But covering your nose can relieve the symptoms? How does this work?

Before Serabelle could figure out the problem, the voice of Ayumi from the three little ones in the back was heard.

"Come to think of it, my ears have been feeling a little weird since a while ago. It's very uncomfortable."

"It's very simple. It's caused by the imbalance of air pressure inside and outside the body as the altitude increases after the plane takes off."

As the one who knew the most among the three little ones, Mitsuhiko quickly explained and demonstrated by pinching his nose with his hand.

"Just 'hum' like this."

"Really? Let me try..."

Yuantai immediately followed suit, but it seemed that he used too much force, and he snorted and his nose burst into tears.

Because Ayumi is a shy girl, she could only try it with the help of Professor Agasa who was beside her.

Oh, it turns out that it’s not rubbing the nose, but pinching the nose and humming…

Serabelle, looking back through the gap between the seats, immediately understood the principle.

And when he turned his gaze back and inadvertently fell on the female lawyer next to him, Kisaki Eri obviously turned her face away.

At the right angle, you can clearly see the faint blush on the latter's cheek.

Oh, are you still shy?

"It's just... a little trick."

Fei Yingli turned her face away even more, and her voice was mixed with a hint of shame and panic.

"Because of my work, I often have to fly to other places. Basically, this problem occurs every time I fly. In addition, there are only a limited number of toilets on the plane, so it is inconvenient to go to the toilet. So I gradually figured it out."

"So that's how it is..."

"Don't laugh at your aunt."

In fact, Serabelle didn't make any comments, nor did she ask any questions. She simply wanted to express a fact that she already understood. But before she could finish her words, Kisaki Eri pinched her hand a little harder under the armrest as a warning.

Then he thought about it and added another sentence.

"…I am not allowed to laugh at you in your heart."

"Oh."

I didn't expect that she would be shy about such a small thing. This woman is damn cute.

On the other side, Makuri, who had been sitting next to Kogoro Mouri since boarding the plane, held his forehead and took a deep breath.

Because the inhalation sound was too obvious, it attracted the attention of Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting next to him, drinking beer and eating snacks.

"What, what's wrong, Miss Juri, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable."

The actress covered her forehead and shook her head, seeming to be in great pain and even reluctant to open her eyes.

Upon hearing this, actress Tianjima Tenko, who was from the same troupe and was sitting across the corridor from her, took out a box of vitamins from her bag and motioned for her to stretch out her hand.

"Come on, Juri, take some vitamins."

"okay……"

Mu Shuli reached out his hand, took two vitamin pills, and swallowed them with his head tilted back.

At this time, the bathroom door at the end of the cabin opened, and Cheng Ze Wenjiro, who had entered the bathroom earlier, walked out.

Makuri, who had been paying attention to the situation in the bathroom, turned around to confirm, then quickly got up from her seat and walked towards the bathroom, even ignoring Kogoro Mori who was about to open his mouth to share his experience with her about the side dishes.

Maybe it was less than half a minute. As the bathroom door reopened, the actress walked out with a slightly relieved look on her face.

At this moment, the stewardess at the door opposite the cabin bathroom was holding a cup of coffee and entering the password with one hand to prepare to enter the cockpit. Seeing this, Makuri, who was obviously in a much better condition, quickened his pace and followed her, taking the opportunity of the stewardess entering the door to sneak in.

But her action really scared the flight attendant, and she hurried to dissuade her.

"Please wait for this passenger, the driver's cabin cannot be entered casually..."

"What's the matter? I just came in to say hello~"

As expected, he is a big star, just busy, he even went to the driver's seat to say hello.

After a moment, the actress, looking refreshed, stepped out of the cab, humming a little tune, holding her head high as if she were a queen who had won a battle, and walked briskly back to her seat.

Noticing this, agent Yaguchi Masayo seemed to remember something. She stood up, opened the storage rack above her head, took out a box of chocolates from her bag, walked out of her seat and quickly walked to Maki Juri and handed it to her.

"Juri, do you want some chocolate?"

“…Oh, thank you.”

Makuri was in a good mood after having successfully shown off. He picked through the box of chocolates, chose a spot he liked, took one out and put it in his mouth.

Then Yaguchi Masayo turned to Mori Kogoro and said politely.

"Would you like one too, Mr. Maori?"

"……Um?"

Kogoro Mori couldn't help showing his joy when he didn't expect that he would have a share.

"Then I'm welcome!"

As he spoke, he took a chocolate and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

The two of them ate the chocolate almost at the same time. The mellow taste and texture made Kogoro Maori give a thumbs up.

"good to eat!"

But the same food has different evaluations.

Mu Shuli's face turned pale in an instant, and he grasped his throat tightly with both hands. He made a hoarse sound in his throat, and fell down in pain after struggling for a few times.

There was no further movement.

It seems.

Chapter 289 Water God Reasoning

In the cabin, Makuri, who had collapsed and died after eating chocolate, had been helped back to his chair.

Kogoro Maori placed his hand on the skin of the pulse area on his neck and tested it for a few seconds, then slowly withdrew his hand and shook his head heavily.

"No, it's too late."

"Varied……"

This simple sentence, less than ten words, not only announced the death of Makishuri, but also woke up the rest of the people in the cabin.

After all, the whole process just now happened too quickly. In the eyes of others, Mu Shuli's sudden situation was more like a prank than an accident. Even until now, there are some people who think that the latter was actually nothing wrong and was just doing it on purpose to amuse everyone.

So Kogoro Mori also laid the facts in front of them.

Makishuri was indeed dead.

"Wait a minute! You said Miss Juri was really dead? But...how could that be?!"

The first person to stand up and express doubts was the short and fat middle-aged man who had previously revealed the secret relationship between Shinjo Isao and Maki Juri to Serabelle and Kisaki Eri at the door of the theater's dressing room.

Judging from the information given by other troupe members, he seems to be the nominal screenwriter of the entire troupe. His name is a bit strange for a Japanese, it is called Ban Heng. It is said that he was discovered by him before Makuri embarked on the path of acting.

Including previously performing on stage with Ban Heng, he played a role like the Pope. His short and fat figure matched with luxurious and solemn costumes really gave him the feeling of someone in a high position.

But now after taking off his stage costumes and returning to his usual look of sunglasses and pigtails, Ban Heng gives people the impression of a greasy middle-aged celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Not even a big shot.

And someone soon gave an answer to his question.

"There is a faint taste of almonds in the mouth, probably cyanide poisoning."

The person who spoke was Serabelle.

When he answered, he had already come to Mu Shuli's seat. He put on the disposable white gloves he carried with him, gently pinched the cheeks of the corpse to force it to open its mouth, and then spoke after sniffing it by drawing air into its nose.

Although doing so is somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, we cannot care less about this when we are dealing with a criminal case.

"Cyanide poisoning? Does that mean someone poisoned Juri?" Ban Heng still looked unconvinced.

"probably."

Serabelle released the hand that was pinching her cheek and pointed at Makiju, who was completely fixed in the chair by the seat belt and was completely dead.

"Besides, didn't she eat a lot before?"

"You mean...chocolate?"

Ban Heng immediately thought of the chocolate that Maki Shuli ate before his death.

However, it would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said this, someone in the cabin suddenly changed his expression.

The first to be hit was Kogoro Mouri, whose face turned green with fright.

Because he had eaten chocolate before...

"Don't worry, there should be nothing wrong with the chocolate. That female star died on the spot after eating it. Uncle, you haven't had any reaction for so long, so there's basically nothing wrong with it."

Serabelle raised her hand and patted Kogoro Maori's shoulder to comfort him.

To be honest, it seems to be true.

Kogoro Mouri's Hulk transformation was immediately lifted, and he returned to normal, covering his chest and breathing a sigh of relief.

"That makes sense, yes..."

Serabelle shrugged and added, "Well, I can only say that the piece you ate is fine, after all, it's such a big box. As for the other chocolates, I don't know."

"Eh? So that means—"

Kogoro Mouri blinked twice, and after a brief hesitation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"I see. I now understand completely!"

Huh? What do you understand?

Serabell was stunned by him, and Conan, who was sitting next to Xiaolan not far away, also narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.

Sure enough, the next second, Kogoro Mouri turned around gracefully, and his arm swung 180 degrees like a clock hand, pointing at his agent Yaguchi Masayo who was sitting in the back seat with a chocolate box in her hand.

"That's right! The murderer is you, Ms. Yaguchi!"

"Please wait... stop, the murderer is not me!"

Seeing that she was about to be identified as the murderer by the famous detective in front of her, Yaguchi Masayo stood up suddenly.

After denying it, she turned to the makeup artist Natsuki Sakai beside her with the chocolate in her hand.

"Xia Shu, you were sitting next to me. I bought this box of chocolates at Ginza nearby during my afternoon performance. You just watched me unpack the package, right?"

It is reasonable to ask witnesses to testify. Moreover, the two people were sitting next to each other, separated by an armrest. They should basically understand what the person next to them was doing.

But for some reason, after being called out by Yaguchi Masayo, Natsuki Sakai, who should have stood up to verify the truth of what the other party said, actually shook his head awkwardly but politely.

"Uh, sorry, I wasn't really paying attention just now..."

"Natsuki!"
