On the night of the same day, the Pearl Tree approached New Zealand airspace and began to descend gradually.

In the garbage storage area, there is the sound of rhythmic footsteps - a man who hides himself in a black suit is tiptoeing down the stairs with a small flashlight.

The man in black walked quite lightly, and there was almost no hesitation in the whole action, and after coming here, he walked straight in the direction of the garbage bag filled with methamphetamine that Qian Yu had found earlier. Coming to the garbage bag, the man in black put the flashlight in his mouth, then grabbed the mouth of the garbage bag with both hands, and checked the contents of the bag by the light of the flashlight.

Well, it's still those rock candy bags, and it looks like the contents haven't been dropped...... Thinking like this, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief and let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the lights in the garbage storage area were suddenly turned on.

"Ah, you look relaxed, huh?" Under the frightened gaze of the man in black, Officer Nakamori stepped out of the darkness - he was covered with a black cloth to hide his tracks.

"To be honest, I really didn't think it was you as the mastermind," Officer Nakamori nodded, looking at the man in black with some playfulness. "Miss Masako."

Under the light of Officer Nakamori's powerful flashlight, the delicate face of Miss Masako, a calm waitress who had not been defeated by the panic caused by the spread of the virus in the red Siamese cat, who had been specially investigated by Mori Kogoro and had similar symptoms, had a hint of anger on her delicate face.

"Why are you here?" Miss Masako snapped.

"Yo, what, are you curious?" Officer Nakamori scoffed. "Do you think that we police would not have thought that it was possible for you to hide valuable methamphetamine here, intending to fish in troubled waters and let these methamphetamine evade our police search through the identity of household garbage? You guys are underestimating the police! ”

"Then why haven't you taken the methamphetamine yet?" Masako snorted coldly. "Didn't you follow me and find out there was methamphetamine here? If you are ashamed to say that you are very good at reasoning, then you can tell me why you didn't transfer these methamphetamines? Aren't you afraid that I will somehow evade your lurk and steal these methamphetamine? ”

"Ice?" Officer Nakamori asked in a puzzled tone, then changed to a sneer. "Hmph, Miss Masako, if you still have such thoughts, I can give you a chance - come on, go and take a second look at that garbage bag, and then carefully show me if the garbage bag is the crystal methamphetamine bag you thought it was!"

"What?" Masako was stunned and immediately pulled the mouth of the bag down, then looked inside and reconfirmed the ingredients. "It's clearly just—"

Her words ended with a sudden narrowing of her pupils, and she took out a packet of methamphetamine disguised as rock candy and examined it carefully. "This ......"

"You can open a pack and taste it," Officer Nakamori continued lightly. "Trust me, it's sweet and delicious, not methamphetamine."

“！！！？？？” Masako's eyes widened, then she tore open the bag of rock candy three times and two times, placing the crystals under her nose, sniffing vigorously - despite all the hard work she had, she still didn't smell the smell of methamphetamine she expected, but instead had a faint sweet smell. "You ......"

"Yes, that's what you think," Officer Nakamori said with the corners of his mouth curled. "We found out that the methamphetamine was hidden here before you came here, and then we brought in a lot of real methamphetamine from the kitchen - luckily the airship's merchandise collection is strictly standardized, so the rock candy is all in the same style of packaging, so we have enough rock sugar to replace these methamphetamine bags. The methamphetamine you see in this bag now is not the real thing, it's just the most harmless rock candy. ”

"......" Masako looked at Officer Nakamori dumbfounded, then sighed helplessly and shook her head. Or not...... ...... don't hesitate."

"Hmph, let's go back to the temporary interrogation room and talk about the rest slowly," Officer Nakamori narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling his men to emerge from the darkness as well and control Masako. "You two take her with me, and the rest of us will continue to wait here!"

……

"What?" Chiba, Conan, and Ash Hara all showed expressions of surprise.

"yes," Kogoro Mori took a sip of sake and nodded nonchalantly. According to the results of their interrogation, this woman was also a member of the Red Siamese Cat, and she did not reveal her identity before because she was placed as a secret stake among the hostages, and only when there was a serious problem among the hostages, she would not hesitate to reveal her identity and use her own guns to stop them. Because the police's anti-hijacking process was very simple, rough and efficient, she had no chance to turn the tide, so she lurked and became a fish that slipped through the net. ”

"Uh......" Conan seemed to remember something. If I remember correctly, she seemed to have behaved all the way during the previous collective hysteria...... Pretty calm, do you say-"

"The reason why she is so calm is entirely because the news circulating on their side is that the bacteria released by the red Siamese cat are spreading, and as one of the members of the red Siamese cat, she knows very well that they don't get the bacteria, so naturally it is impossible that the bacteria are causing a large-scale infection that cannot be handled." Kogoro Mori nodded. "Actually, that's why I'm not surprised that Miss Masako is the mastermind of the whole incident."

"If the news she knew was Honda and Ashbara's symptom system that was characterized by bruised spots and vomiting, rather than cough and rashes, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been so calm," the corners of Chiha's mouth twitched. "Really...... I really didn't expect such a coincidence - what we thought was just evidence of her tenacity turned out to be evidence that she was a member of such a dangerous organization. ”

At this moment, something seemed to flash through Chiba's mind, but he himself failed to capture the details - it seemed to be something about some scene during the day, but he himself had forgotten where the anomaly was.

What's the problem?
