Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 323 Wiping Them All Out at Once? Novelist Level 5
Flight 865 is a rare large aircraft on domestic routes, with a first-class cabin on the second floor.

The reason the man with the mustache called it a luxury trip was because the theater troupe had booked first-class seats for everyone.

This was Gao Mo's first time experiencing this, and he felt it was much more spacious than economy class, and the flight attendants were younger and prettier.

"Kido..."

Ai's condition is worsening; her throat is so swollen and red that she can barely speak.

Gao Mo could only take Ai to the plane and hand her over to Sonoko and Ran for care.

After taking the special medicine, Xiao Ai gradually fell asleep in her seat, but her fingers were still tightly gripping Gao Mo's hand and she refused to let go.

He's clearly a virgin, but he gives off the vibe of a father raising a daughter.

Gao Mo was quite helpless.

"Is it alright to bring her on the plane?" Sonoko asked worriedly. "Should I ask someone to take her to the hospital?"

"fine."

Gao Mo shook his head.

Ai insisted on taking her medicine only after boarding the plane.

Moreover, he felt much more at ease with Ai here than at the hospital.

Those 100 stars are, in a sense, also a weapon against death.

"No! I want to get down! Let me down!"

A frantic argument suddenly erupted from the first floor of the plane.

"This plane is going to crash! Everyone will die!"

"Sir, please calm down! The plane is safe..."

"To hell with your safety! I'm not sitting here! You guys just wait for this to happen!"

Sonoko and Ran looked at each other in bewilderment, just as the man with the mustache came upstairs looking dejected.

"What a madman," the man with the mustache said speechlessly. "The plane hasn't even taken off yet, and he's already saying something's going to happen. What bad luck!"

Gao Mo paused slightly upon hearing this.

The cabin was indeed much more oppressive.

The sounds inside the terminal building were strange from the beginning, and when we got to the plane, even the shuttle bus passing by seemed to be implying something.

It's not surprising that some people feel it more strongly.

There are many similar situations in "Final Destination".

However, leaving the plane is not a good option.

Leaving means losing the chance to change your place on the death row.

Who says planes are bound to crash?
This isn't Final Destination.

Gao Mo turned his gaze to the makeup artist, Sakai Natsuki, who was chatting and laughing with her fellow actors in the seat in front of him.

He knew the murderer, and judging from the circumstances of these people, he could probably guess who was killed.

Then there's the plane crash that Ai mentioned.

How could a murder, even if it happened on an airplane, lead to a plane crash?

Gao Mo's gaze was thoughtful.

My gaze followed the flight attendant as she turned to the cockpit, which is connected to the first-class cabin.

Since Sakai Natsuki had neither the ability nor the reason to damage the aircraft, the only explanation is that she indirectly affected the cockpit.

How will it have an impact?

Normally, passengers are not allowed to enter the driver's cab...

Gao Mo squinted as he observed the glamorous Miss Shuli.

The entire first-class cabin was booked by the drama troupe, and there were no other factors involved. The problem must lie with the woman who was most likely to be killed.

The first priority is to prevent this incident from happening.

"Mr. Mori? Mr. Kido?"

A gasp was heard at the bottom of the stairs on the second floor.

Sato and Takagi, carrying police handbooks, somehow ended up in first class.

"Huh?" the man with the mustache asked in surprise. "What are you doing here? It's just a troublesome passenger, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

“No,” Takagi stared blankly at the first-class passengers, “because someone saw Kid in Hakodate, Inspector Megure sent us to Hakodate…”

"Isn't Kidd under the care of that idiot Nakamori? What's it to you?"

"What we care about is not Kidd, but rather that a number of dangerous individuals have recently set their sights on Kidd."

Sato grabbed Takagi, who looked bewildered upon seeing the beautiful actress, and hurriedly said goodbye.

"We won't bother you any longer. If you see any suspicious people after you arrive in Hakodate, please contact us immediately."

"Suspicious person?"

The man with the mustache was still muttering to himself, while Gao Mo was getting a headache.

Even Sato and Takagi were on this flight. After accumulating points over this period, his star count still hadn't exceeded 1000, so he wasn't extravagant enough to use it to protect everyone.

Sonoko, Ran, Mustache, and Sato—that's about enough for one hand.

and……

"Mr. Shinjo?" The appearance of a figure following closely behind Sato and Takagi caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.

He is a young, handsome man with long hair, and he looks like an idol.

"Didn't you say you couldn't come because of something?"

"The matter was resolved, and I was feeling bored by myself, so I rushed over."

The long-haired handsome man, Shinjo Kō, took off his sunglasses and walked straight to the superstar Maki Sūri at the front, pausing slightly as he passed by Takamo.

This guy……

Gao Mo saw through the long-haired handsome man's disguise immediately.

Kaito Kuroba's aura was too obvious to be hidden from his mind network perception. He didn't even need to activate his mind network; he could sense him automatically as soon as he got close.

Forget it, I can't be bothered with this guy.

"England?" Exclamations rang out again from first class.

This time it was the mustache's turn.

Gao Mo turned his head and saw Eri Kisaki standing at the entrance of the corridor with a stern face.

"It's you again, Xiaolan! You said this guy couldn't come because of something, so I came to keep you company!"

"Haha," Xiaolan chuckled dryly, holding her hands, "What a coincidence! I thought Dad wouldn't be able to come..."

"Are you kidding me? You're definitely doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

"hey-hey……"

Gao Mo's eye twitched.

Good heavens, are they trying to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?

Could it be that the Grim Reaper's consciousness has descended and is specifically targeting this plane?

Gao Mo's expression turned solemn as he thought of Gao Yuanyao, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Regardless, he had no choice but to accept this battle.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, and he ultimately didn't get to advance to the 4th rank.

Novelist level was raised to level 5 ahead of schedule thanks to Rena Mizunashi's interview, but freelance journalist level remained at level 4.

[New Talent for Level 5 Novelists: Story Space]

The new talent is somewhat similar to the "Hall of Mind" obtained by a level 5 detective, but the "Hall of Mind" is more inclined towards clue reasoning and physical simulation, while the "Story Space" has a much smaller scope of application, mainly specializing in character simulation, and is more suitable for writing novels.

and many more……

Gao Mo's gaze returned to the people in first class.

"Plot space" doesn't seem to be unusable in reasoning.

“That’s really strange,” the mustachioed man said, still pondering Kid’s situation after he and his wife sat down separately. “How did Kid end up in Hakodate? He failed before, and I’ve never heard of him trying to steal it a second time.”

"Can I see the notice?" Gao Mo tried to loosen Ai's fingers and sat down next to the mustachioed man.

"I did take a picture with my phone."

Without giving it much thought, the man with the mustache took out his phone and showed a photo of the notice.

"The notice meant they were going to steal the jewels during the theater performance, so I deliberately hid on the stage and almost caught the guy..."

Gao Mo understood the meaning the moment he saw the trailer.

The trailer actually refers to the theft of jewels on a plane, specifically the flight bound for Hakodate.

No wonder he disguised himself as an absent male actor and suddenly showed up.

Could the plane crash have been caused by this guy?

Gao Mo shook his head secretly.

As the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid, Kaito Kuroba may be despicable at times, but he would never joke about something like this.

Gao Mo continued to pay attention to Sakai Natsuki and Maki Juri.

He frantically simulated possible methods of committing the crime in his mind.

First class offers excellent views, but the only convenient spots to make a move are the front and rear lavatories, where any unusual activity is easily detected.

What are some convenient ways for makeup artists to commit murder?

He happens to be a makeup artist too...

Gao Mo's expression changed slightly.

Poisoned.

If it were up to him, poisoning would undoubtedly be the best way to kill.
