The stress of death pervades the cabin, and everyone seems to be waiting for the judgment of fate.

Then, the Grim Reaper literally swung his scythe and slashed at the DC-10 airliner - with a shudder, many passengers sitting on the left side of the plane could hear the crisp crash. Subsequently, the entire aircraft deviated uncontrollably to the left and tilted.

"Buzz!" The engine on the left immediately roared, and together with the engine on the right, which had also increased its power, the plane was saved from imbalance. At the same time, however, everyone could feel that the entire plane had regained its head in the process.

The landing failed.

……

Cockpit.

"Tower, can you see what we're doing?" Sadaharu Takamori asked. "What just happened to us?"

"You may have encountered a turbulent current, so you yawed sharply to the bottom left and hit the lights next to the runway." Communication was restored only after the plane had re-raised its head. "In addition, we can see that your engine 2 and rear wing have almost completely fallen off."

"Is the tail wing off too?" Sadaharu Takamori, who had slightly reduced the thrust of the left engine, didn't seem too surprised. "Okay, so can you see how our left wing is doing? I suspect that our wings hit something. ”

"Your wings are intact," the tower said after waiting a few more seconds. "But we can't see it well here, at least there is no major structural damage to your wings."

"Got it, but I think something might be wrong......" Sadaharu Takamori frowned. There is a drop in power on the left side, and if there is no problem with the engine, then there is probably a problem with the aerodynamics of the wing. ”

"What are you going to do now?" The tower immediately asked.

"The left maneuver re-attempts to land," Sadaharu Takamori replied. "I hope that the firefighters will be in place as soon as possible...... Such a hovering is very risky for the plane, if the next situation is not particularly critical, I guess I may force a forced landing, the situation of the plane is not clear, I am worried that if the second return flight may disintegrate, then there is really nothing to be done - to be honest, I am actually not optimistic about this return flight, if it is not really impossible to land, I will not delay until now. ”

Thanks to the fact that the nose landing gear cannot be put down, the plane does not need to be so delicate when it lands on the ground - the two main landing gears and the nose of the aircraft will form a more stable support system than the three landing gears, so that as long as the aircraft is aligned with the runway, no matter how it lands, it is basically impossible to roll over and so on. In addition, the stability of the aircraft is now difficult to call stable, so Takamori Sadaharu took forced landing as a potential alternative.

"Understood." After a long silence, the tower responded. "How can we help?"

"Please wait for the fire extinguishing vehicle, that's all." Sadaharu Takamori said. "Also, please let them wait at a distance, we will land quickly, so the need for a runway will definitely not be closer than the average aircraft, please pay attention to this."

……

At the same time, the economy class is at the end of the segment.

"Don't worry, we're just going to do a go-around now," Conan said reassuring Ayumi next to him and Mitsuhiko Motota in the row of seats in front of him. "All the plane has to do now is turn around and re-enter."

Just as he was saying this, the plane suddenly entered a short freefall situation without warning.

"Ahh No matter how mentally strong a person is, it is difficult to overcome the innate fear of people in this situation, and when the plane regained its altitude after the roar and continued to stagger like a drunk, everyone's faces were already filled with a thick sense of anxiety - if before, due to Chiba and Takamori Sadaharu controlling the plane properly, even the gravity tossed everyone's mood was more exciting than fearful, and now they are clearly aware for the first time that death is beckoning to them.

"What are you doing?" A few rows in front of them, a middle-aged man asked curiously about his companion.

"Write a letter." His companion replied briefly as he scribbled.

"Pen and paper—" The middle-aged man immediately realized that it seemed to be the time to do this, and took the pen and paper from his briefcase. After the graphite on the tip of the pencil gently left a hesitant contact on the paper, he began to write hard.

[Mariko, Tsukei, Chiyoko, you have to take good care of your mother. Dad is really sorry, this time it may really be hopeless. I never want to fly again in my life, God bless me! 】

As he wrote this, the plane jolted so that the tip of the pen was drawn several lines below, and the middle-aged man seemed to have no patience to re-align the tip of the pen at the line where it should be written, and wrote directly on this line.

It seems that there is still a little time, and the most important things have been explained, what else to write next?

[I didn't expect that yesterday's dinner with everyone would be the final goodbye. …… Whatever happens, son, it's all up to you. 】

As the plane spun, he suddenly felt his eyes tingle with the light of something—it was his wedding ring.

[Wife, it's really a pity that this kind of thing happened. Please take good care of the children, just as I am going to travel far away, and I will try to bless you in heaven!! 】

When he wrote this, the middle-aged man took another deep breath, and tears couldn't stop coming out of his eyes.

[I can pat my chest and say that my life so far is really happy! Thank you! Goodbye (Seyonala). 】

At the same time, many members of the detective group are actually writing.

"......" Conan held a pen and paper, but he hesitated in the movements of his hands, and it took about half a minute before he began to write.

As he wrote this, Conan felt the tip of his pen tremble a little. [Don't waste your time on me, forget me, you still have your own life.] 】

After a moment's hesitation, Conan wrote at the end of the paper a quote and signature that he hadn't written for a long time. [——Shinichi Kudo, who loves you]

At this point, Conan put the paper away and stuffed it in a net pocket behind the seat in front of him - at least it won't be lost, and as long as the seat remains intact, the contents may be found by search and rescue personnel.
