Conan's Unscientific Detective

The crew members, two flight attendants Kagaya Yui and Momoyama Deng, and the chief maintenance officer Sekiguchi Shinobu responded.

"Have you found out who the criminal is?"

Upon hearing the news, the co-pilot also rushed out of the cockpit.

"Co-pilot Koganei?"

Fujino turned to look at Koganei, "Is it okay for you to fly the plane without being at the control console?"

"It's okay. The plane has been switched to autopilot mode now. You don't have to worry about it for a while."

Koganei explained: "Since we have to point out who killed Captain Shida, I must also bear witness..."

At this time, Maori Kogoro and Shiratori Jinzaburo brought Ishida Maria and Okoshi Rei to open the door curtain and walked in.

"Wait, why did you bring me here?"

Maria Ishida was obviously a little dissatisfied. "Does it mean I'm going to be treated as a murderer just because I go to the toilet?"

"murderer?"

Fujino frowned when he heard this and asked, "Where did you hear the news that the captain died?"

"I heard that someone died on this plane..."

Maria Ishida was stunned, "Wait, are you saying the captain is dead?!"

After she came to her senses, she immediately looked panicked, screaming and trying to run away again.

"I say, what's wrong with you, woman?"

Da Yueli at the side restrained him again and said in a deep voice: "Even if the captain is dead, there is still the co-pilot, right?"

After controlling the woman, he turned to the others and said calmly, "So you called us here because you think we are the murderers?"

"Of course not."

Shiratori explained, "It's just that you two are the only ones without an alibi, so it's necessary to bring you here. In addition to you, all the maintenance crew members on the second floor of this flight are here too."

"Um, are we also under suspicion?"

Shinobu Sekiguchi couldn't help but say, "We all have alibis. We have ruled them all out before..."

"You all do have alibis for after the riot was over."

Fujino interrupted at this time: "But Captain Shida was not killed after the smoke ended, but was killed when the smoke just started to cause chaos."

"what?"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

Conan, on the other hand, turned his gaze calmly towards Fujino.

Fujino paused and continued, "The captain died during the riot. During that period of time, anyone could have used the smoke to kill Captain Shida within those ten minutes."

"But, Detective Fujino."

At this time, Momoyama Deng interrupted Fujino and asked in confusion: "When the smoke was coming out of the cabin, the captain was still alive, and he even talked to the passengers. He didn't return to the cockpit until the riot was over."

"It is indeed the case."

Fujino agreed with what Momoyama said, but then changed the subject: "But the premise is that the captain must be the real Captain Shida."

"I remember that when Captain Shida came out, he was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a coat. In order to prevent inhaling smoke, he covered his face with a handkerchief, leaving only his beard on his sideburns. His voice became unclear and muffled because he covered his mouth."

Fujino asked everyone, "The reason you think he is the captain is because he is wearing the captain's shirt and hat, right?"

"Yes."

Da Yueli, who was at the scene at the time, thought for a moment and said, "We really didn't see the captain's appearance clearly at the time, and his voice was very low."

"That seems to be the case."

Maria Ishida was also present at the scene. She thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"There are two murderers."

Fujino glanced around at everyone and said, "One of the murderers first anesthetized Captain Shida to ensure that the plane entered a stable autopilot mode, and then instructed another murderer to kill Captain Shida. He then disguised himself as Captain Shida to appease the passengers and create an alibi."

"And in order to prevent everyone from seeing my face, the smoke ball became a necessary part of the whole plan..."

Fujino turned to look at Koganei and said in a deep voice: "Co-pilot Koganei, the murderer should be you, right? You are the only one who can disguise as the captain in the cabin and put the plane into autopilot mode."

"What a joke!"

Koganei shouted, "Do you have any evidence? Why..."

"As much evidence as you want, whether it's the handkerchief you used to stun the captain or the fake beard you used when you disguised yourself as the captain, you should be able to find it inside the plane after you land."

Fujino looked at Koganei calmly. "In fact, I was wondering at the beginning why the captain came out when such a situation occurred on the plane. If a murder plan was being carried out in the cabin at that time, it would be much more reasonable."

"Is that just because of this?"

Koganei took a deep breath and said, "Although I don't know why the captain did this, this is just your unreasonable guess, right?"

"Of course it's not without reason. Maybe you didn't even notice that there are clues on your body that could confirm your suspicion..."

Fujino turned to Kagaya Yui: "Of course, your other accomplice didn't notice it either, right, Miss Kaga?"

Momoyama looked at Kagaya Yui in surprise when he heard this: "Senior Kaga, is she also... the murderer?"

"What on earth are you suspecting, detective?"

Kagaya Yui was also a little flustered when he heard this: "You are just guessing without any evidence. Tell me, what is the clue?!"

"smell……"

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly. "The main component of the smoke ball just now is sulfur. The smell of sulfur is difficult to remove. Even if you wash it, it will leave a faint smell. Is that right, Police... Conan?"

Conan's face darkened when he heard this.

This guy just now must have wanted to talk about police dogs, right?

Definitely, right?!

Taking a deep breath, Conan calmed himself down and tried to control the urge to stab Fujino with an anesthetic needle.

"Yes! I just noticed that Kaga-sister doesn't have any smell on her body, but Momoyama-sister and Fujino-brother both have this smell."

Conan said in a baby voice, turning to look at Koganei: "And I smelled it just now, the co-pilot brother also has that smell!"

"Logically, everyone on the second floor of the cabin should have smelled of smoke... maybe it was because you were killing people in the cockpit at the time... and the other co-pilot was pretending to be the captain, so he had the smell. The real captain didn't have any smell."

Fujino looked at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else to say? After a detailed investigation, once the police find the beard used for disguise and the drugged object, the case should be solved."

"It's not me! I was just helping!"

Koganei suddenly panicked.

He knew that all the evidence now pointed to him.

If this continues, he will take all the blame...

Thinking of this, he quickly put the blame on Kagaya Yui: "She said she wanted to kill the captain who dumped her before, so I helped! That's right, she was the one who killed someone, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Why are you like this? It was you who said that the captain discovered your drug trafficking, so you asked for my help?"

Kagaya Yui was also unhappy after hearing that. She grabbed Koganei's collar and cried tearfully, "What are you saying, 'Please, you're the only one who can help me now, as my fiancée. Didn't you get ruthlessly abandoned by that guy before? If I'm caught by the police, I'll definitely lose my iron rice bowl, and our future lives will be ruined!' and so on? It's all because of what you said..."

"Where did I say such a thing? Do you have any evidence?"

Koganei turned his head away, not daring to look her in the face. "You are obviously the mastermind of the murder... Officer, arrest her quickly!"

"You're really going too far! I did this for you..."

Kagaya Yui was so angry that she pulled out a pen from her pocket and stabbed Koganei in the chest, yelling, "You scumbag!"

"stop it now!"

Fujino rushed forward and kicked Kagaya Yui away.

He squatted down, looked at the location of the pen, frowned slightly, and shouted: "The pen has pierced the heart, go get the first aid kit!"

After bringing the first aid kit, Fujino quickly performed first aid on Koganei.

However, this kind of injury that penetrates the heart may not necessarily save the person even with first aid on the ground.

Even if a heroic doctor came, he would just shake his head.

Four minutes later, accompanied by a scream, blood suddenly spurted out of Koganei's mouth.

At the same time, there was no pulse.

Fujino stood up with a gloomy face: "The person is already dead..."

"The captain and the co-pilot are both dead. Who will fly this plane?"

The flight attendant was also panicked for a moment. "The plane will land in forty minutes. If no one comes to fly the plane, I'm afraid..."

"Let's use the in-flight announcement first."

Fujino took a deep breath and said to the chief engineer, "Even if it causes panic, it's better than having no one behind the wheel."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

…………

The chief engineer made an announcement and there was a commotion in the cabin.

However, with the maintenance of the crew, the unrest soon ended.

A few minutes later, the chief engineer also got the result. He said to everyone with a gloomy face: "There are 400 people on the plane, and no one else can fly the plane... Now there are only minutes left before landing... If no one flies the plane..."

Shiratori Renzaburo took over the conversation with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid that if we keep circling in the sky like this, even if we do nothing, we will eventually crash."

Amid the noise of the crowd, a system task suddenly appeared in front of Fujino's eyes:

[Pilot's professional mission: emergency landing

Mission objective: Land the Boeing 747-100sr at Naha Airport in Ryukyu (Okinawa)

Mission Reward: 50 yen, 500 driver professional proficiency points]

"Sure enough, can a pilot even fly an airplane?"

Fujino stared at the system task in front of him, muttering to himself.

Then he suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's words: "Speaking of which, Chief Guankou, the model of this aircraft is a Boeing 747-100SR, right?"

"No...that's right."

The chief engineer looked at Fujino and asked in confusion: "What do you mean..."

"Leave it to me." Fujino said calmly.

"You can fly a plane?!"

Conan looked at Fujino in surprise.

Fujino nodded and said, "I learned how to fly a plane with my dad when we were traveling. I also simulated the flight of a large passenger plane in the flight simulator. With ground guidance, there should be no problem."

What Fujino said was not a lie. The original owner had indeed gone on a flying experience with his father, but... it was all in vain.

But it was a good excuse.

After all, his cheap dad is dead, and now in this world, no one knows how well he has learned.

Under the current circumstances, he is the only one who can open it.

At least he's much better than Conan, that half-baked one.

Although he had never been in contact with an airplane, he had a career as a pilot, so flying a Boeing 747 should not be a problem.

Conan: "..."

Why does it feel familiar?

"But……"

The others still had some concerns.

"Is there any other solution now?"

Fujino looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice, "If it was a Boeing 747-400 model, it would be fine, but this passenger plane is a Boeing 747-100SR Neon Special, and it doesn't have automatic landing."

"If this continues, the plane will run out of fuel in the air and crash."
