Chapter 831 The People on the Airship.
And so, a strange atmosphere gradually settled between the three men present—
Gin and Conan are mutually attracted to each other, but Amuro Tooru seems poised to interfere...
Well, all I can say is that Amuro Tooru's appearance and hair color perfectly fit this description....................................
Dark skin, blond hair—perfect for being a minotaur...................................
On the other side......................
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Suzuki Jirokichi, Kogoro Mouri invited everyone to board the airship..........................
Once aboard, Jirokichi Suzuki warmly invited everyone to join him on a tour of what is touted as the world's largest airship.
During their visit, they also encountered several people whom Suzuki Jirokichi had mentioned as "people who had no choice but to come"—
"This is Mr. Takamichi Fujioka,"
Mr. Asano, the cabin manager who was also acting as a part-time tour guide, introduced the situation to Jirokichi Suzuki with a respectful expression.
"He was one of the self-media bloggers who volunteered to come up and report on Suzuki's work..."
"He stated that he had complete confidence in Advisor Suzuki's ability to successfully capture the Phantom Thief Kid, and believed that Advisor Suzuki would definitely be able to capture the Phantom Thief Kid. He was already prepared to write a long article for Advisor Suzuki..."
Hahahaha..................................”
Jirokichi Suzuki burst into laughter.
He gave Takamichi Fujioka a look that said, "You'd better be sensible, kid," and then continued to direct everyone on the tour...
Afterwards, the cabin manager introduced several reporters from Nichiri TV to everyone—
They are Masaki Mizukawa, the producer of this follow-up report by Nichiri TV; Kasumi Nishitani, the reporter; and Junpei Ishimoto, the cameraman.
These newcomers were clearly far more attractive to the Mori family than the previous one, Takamichi Fujioka...
Well, actually, it's mainly the attraction to Kogoro Mouri.........................
Because reporter Kasumi Nishitani was considered quite beautiful, Kogoro Mouri couldn't resist going up to her and starting a conversation.................................
However, compared to Kogoro Mouri, Jirokichi Suzuki was less than satisfied with the appearance of these individuals.................................
"What the hell?"
Jirokichi Suzuki looked at producer Masaki Mizukawa with dissatisfaction and said angrily,
"Why did Nichiuri TV only send these few people...?"
"I've made a duel with Phantom Thief Kid this time!"
"Also, this time the location is on the world's largest airship, and the gems were carefully selected by me..."
"What news could possibly attract more attention than this...?"
"Forehead............................."
Masaki Mizukawa wiped his sweat and spoke weakly to Jirokichi Suzuki.
"I'm so sorry, Advisor Suzuki............................"
"It's not that we didn't want to come and interview you, it's just that............................."
He looked around as he spoke, then hesitated for a moment...
Finally, he leaned close to Suzuki Jirokichi's ear and whispered something to him.
"Because of the fire at that research institute, the killer bacteria inside were stolen, so our TV station has been focusing most of its efforts on that..."
"Damn it............................"
Suzuki Jirokichi cursed under his breath...
It's about this research institute again.........................
Damn it, those robbers are such bastards, they stole all my news and glory............................
Of course, all Suzuki Jirokichi could do was curse the robbers.
He knew perfectly well that Nichiuri TV's arrangements were sound; after all, the killer bacteria could potentially threaten anyone. Compared to that, his duel with Kaito Kid was nothing more than after-dinner entertainment.
Jirokichi Suzuki is certainly aware of this principle...
Thinking of this, Suzuki Jirokichi, though very displeased, still waved his hand.
"Never mind, it's good that you came..."
"Anyway, I don't care what methods you use."
"Later, during my duel with Phantom Thief Kid, you absolutely must film my heroic moments in the highest definition possible, capturing everything perfectly..."
"do you understand?"
"Hi--"
When Mizukawa Masaki and the other two heard Suzuki Jirokichi's words, they all nodded heavily.
After exchanging glances with several seemingly unrelated people, Suzuki Jirokichi, along with Kogoro Mouri's family, his niece, and her husband, headed towards his most prized spot...
"This is the Sky Observation Deck..."
The tour guide, Mr. Cabin Manager, smiled and said to everyone,
"This is the most beautiful place on our airship, and also the location where Advisor Suzuki's precious gem—'The Sky Lady'—is kept..."
As he explained, everyone gasped in amazement...
The airship's observation deck, located at its highest level and surrounded entirely by sturdy glass, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Its design is both aesthetically pleasing and grand, exuding elegance without being ostentatious...
As a top-tier heir to a wealthy family, Jirokichi Suzuki's aesthetic sense was cultivated from a young age, giving him an excellent appreciation for beauty. Unlike some nouveau riche who would pave every corner with gold bricks...
The 'Lady of the Sky' is located in the very center of the Sky Observation Deck, surrounded by a small display stand specially prepared for it.
This is practically telling Kaito Kid directly, "The jewel you want is right here. Come and get it anytime you're up to it."
Everything at the Sky Observation Deck brings joy and relaxation to everyone who visits.
Everyone who comes here feels that the trip was worthwhile...............................
The scene was filled with gasps of amazement...
However, the gasps of amazement from the audience were varied, each reflecting their own thoughts...
Gin was indifferent to the beautiful scenery and the jewels before him...
His thoughts were divided: on one hand, he wanted to kill those mercenaries to save face; on the other hand, he was thinking about Conan...
Similar to Gin, Conan, besides thinking about his Mr. Kurosawa, was also reminded of his old rival, Kaito Kid, by the 'Lady of the Sky' jewel in front of him...
The rivalry between Conan and Kaito Kid has a long history, dating back to before he became Conan...
Conan has a love-hate relationship with this old rival............................
For a fleeting moment, he even considered teaming up with Mr. Kurosawa, who was currently present, to simply capture this guy.
He refused to believe that, with Mr. Kurosawa's help, the two of them couldn't catch a mere Phantom Thief Kid.
However, this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment and didn't leave much of a trace......................
The reason is simple: Conan has developed some sense of right and wrong now, and he believes that dealing with Phantom Thief Kid doesn't warrant a major overreach, so he's asking Mr. Kurosawa to help as well...
Although his old rival was an adversary, his crime did not warrant such a punishment.
Compared to Gin and Conan, Amuro Tooru was thinking about much more...
He had to keep an eye on Gin, cultivate a closer relationship with Conan, and also figure out a way to catch Kaito Kid...
Well, all I can say is that Touko is incredibly busy; he truly deserves the title of "Emperor of Working Life"............................
"Speaking of which..."
Standing on the observation deck in the sky, Kogoro Mouri raised his question.
"Can something like this really stop Kaito Kid?"
He looked at the display stand in front of him, used to showcase the 'Lady of the Sky' gem, pointed to the thin glass cover on top of the stand, and his lips twitched.
"Why does this thing seem so vulnerable...?"
"yes,"
Sonoko Suzuki might actually be Kogoro Mouri's biological daughter; at this moment, she cooperated perfectly, repeatedly echoing his sentiments.
"And it seems there's no security on the observation deck..."
"Uncle Jirokichi, are you sure everything's alright...?"
"We would also like to know about this issue............................."
After Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki finished speaking, a steady voice came from not far away.
Everyone turned around and saw 'Matsumoto Kiyoshige', who had come up ahead of them, and a group of police officers walking towards them..............................
