I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

This kind of situation is often the most frightening when you only vaguely know that you have caused trouble, but you don't know what kind of trouble you have caused at all.

"What's wrong with the smoking room...?"

A chubby man in his thirties wearing glasses and one of the trio from the Japanese TV station asked tentatively.

This person was mentioned by Sonoko before when he was introduced one by one. He was the head of the reporter team that came to film the Kidd showdown from Nippon Television. His name was Mizukawa Masaki, or Mizukawa for short.

"Don't answer questions with questions." Serabel glanced at him with her cane. "I ask you to tell me honestly whether you have been there. Any ambiguous answer will be regarded as acquiescence. If you deliberately lie, you will be held legally responsible."

"I……"

Mizukawa Masaki did not answer immediately and fell into hesitation.

Everyone can hear the unusual smell in this, especially when he doesn't know the consequences. He really doesn't want to admit that he has been there, but he also doesn't want to be legally responsible for lying to others and saying that he has never been there.

When they were in a dilemma, a low whimper came from outside the human wall.

"Uh...I...ah, it's so itchy..."

The atmosphere in the sightseeing hall was already extremely tense. When hearing this voice again, everyone's eyes turned to follow the sound almost instantly.

"That's... Mr. Fujioka?"

The person who was whimpering in pain was none other than freelance journalist Fujioka Takamichi who had previously recommended himself according to Sonoko's introduction in the hope of documenting the duel between Suzuki Jirokichi and Kaitou Kidd.

However, it was completely opposite to the leisurely and calm expression he showed before. At this moment, he was scratching all over his arms and cheeks in embarrassment. The outside of his strong arms, which had been tanned by years of travel, were red. He hates his parents for not giving him two more hands to scratch with.

"Look! He's got a rash!"

With sharp eyes, Yuanzi immediately caught a glimpse of the small raised rashes on the red skin of the freelance reporter.

"What..." Zhongmori Police Department was startled and immediately shouted loudly, "Mr. Fujitsu, have you ever been to the smoking room?"

However, the only answer he received was Fujioka's meaningless muttering as if he was in a daze after being extremely frightened.

"I...I don't want to die...Hurry, help me...save me..."

As he spoke, he not only stretched out his arms covered with red rashes, but also walked towards the crowd step by step like a zombie in a doomsday movie.

"Stop! Don't go any further! Stop! Answer my question!"

The Zhongsen Police Department repeatedly tried to stop him, but was ignored.

At the critical moment, Serabel used his cane to push through the crowd and come to Fujioka's opposite point.

The two faced each other at a distance of four or five meters. Serabel stopped and touched the ground with her cane, placing both hands on the top of the cane as if holding a knight's sword.

"We don't want to deceive you. Now you have been infected by murderous bacteria. Although I don't know whether you can be saved later, for the safety and health of other people on the airship, I hope you can calm down and stop approaching, and consciously go to the smoking room. Quarantine.”

"Don't leave me...I don't want to die...Save me, please save me..."

Still meaningless nonsense.

Serabel sighed softly: "In this case, there is nothing you can do. Even though you already know that you are carrying deadly bacteria, you still refuse to listen to dissuasion and insist on trying to get close to others... Then, legitimate defense should be established."

After he finished speaking, the sword light flashed in the sightseeing hall.

It was like the sound of the inner wall of the scabbard grinding against the blade. As Serabel lifted the cane and gently pulled it out, a slender and sharp cane sword came out of the sheath. The sharp blade reflected the cold light and was exposed to the air, showing murderous intent.

Serabel raised her hand with the sword, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Fujioka Ryūdō's throat, hanging just a millimeter away from the skin.

"Last chance, go to the smoking room and isolate yourself. If you don't calm down, I will chop your head off right now."

"..."

The dazed muttering stopped for an instant, and Fujioka Ryūdō really stopped.

Serabel tilted her head: "Calm down?"

Nod.GIF

"Turn around."

Turn around.GIF

"Go out and don't look back or resist, or I'll chop you to death."?

Chapter 217 The Good Show Begins?

Serabel → arm → hilt → tip → Fujioka Takamichi.

The two of them left the observation hall step by step while maintaining this position, and walked through the corridor on the lower level of the airship to the door of the smoking room.

stop.

As soon as Fujioka Ryūdō stopped, Serabel also stopped immediately.

After all, the tip of his sword was pointed directly behind the former's neck. If he didn't stop, he would have stabbed it in directly.

Serabel hummed lightly.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in consciously."

While speaking, he also looked around. There was still a strong smell of disinfectant in the air, but to be honest, choosing a smoking room as an isolation location was not a good idea.

Although it is the best-sealed room in the tourist area on the airship, a big problem is that the door of the smoking room is sliding on both sides.

To put it simply, there is no door lock. People outside only need to push the door lightly to get in, and people inside only need to push the door lightly to get out.

Not to mention a normal person like Takashi Fujioka, who has sound limbs and can move freely, even if he is tied up and unable to move his hands and feet, he can still roll out all the way.

If I had known earlier, I would have called the Zhongsen Police Department to follow me. At least there would be a guard...

Watching Fujioka Ryūdō walk into the smoking room honestly, Serabel couldn't help but clicked her tongue in her heart.

squeak--

The door shaft rotated, and the door of the smoking room automatically closed again. The door panel with excellent sealing swayed back and forth twice slightly under the pull of the floor spring, and then completely stopped.

After waiting for a moment, Serabel stepped forward, knocked on the door with the tip of his sword, and repeated it in an extremely calm tone.

"Listen, if you stay in there and don't run around, as long as you can hold on until the airship lands, the Suzuki Consortium will immediately send you to the best hospital for isolation treatment. But if you dare to come out without authorization, no matter what the virus is, If I don’t kill you, you will be dead.”

After saying that, without waiting for a reply, Serabel turned around and left.

Returning to the sightseeing hall, the atmosphere in the room was still very solemn. When Conan saw the former returning, he immediately came up to greet him and asked in a deep voice.

"Where's Mr. Fujioka? Did you escort him to the smoking room for isolation?"

"Then... what else?"

Serabel shrugged, and tapped the cane that had been put back into the scabbard and returned to the state of a staff sword, making two clicks.

"Well, although it would be a good idea to kill him directly and throw his body from the airship into the sea. By the way, it would also solve the only source of infection found on the airship. But that would probably pollute the environment. I'm not that worried. Public conscience.”

"..."

Conan didn't answer, but just stared at him persistently for a while. Although he didn't move his mouth, it was obvious that he wanted to speak several times, but he forced himself to hold it back.

At the same time, Sera Masumi noticed that her brother had reappeared and came over, followed by Xiaolan and Sonoko.

"That's right, brother, did you see those children on your way here?"

"……No."

Serabel glanced across the observation hall.

Sure enough, except for Conan who was right in front of him and Haibara Ai who was not far away beside Dr. Ali, the other three little ones were not here.

"So what about them?"

"Maybe...exploring somewhere on the airship."

Conan thought carefully and recalled it.

"I remember that when we came down from the sky observatory just before, Yuantai and the others seemed to have taken a structural diagram of the airship and said where they were going to explore, but I really don't remember where exactly, and I didn't hear it clearly at the time. .”

"They shouldn't go to the smoking room, right?" Yuanzi blinked, "Anyway, those little brats don't smoke."

"Yes, yes." Xiaolan also said.

"To be on the safe side, let me ask first..."

Conan said as he took out the detective badge and pressed the call button on it.

"Misuhiko, Ayumi, Genta, can you hear me?"

About two or three seconds passed after the words were said, and the voices of the three little ones in the detective badges came out clearly.

"Ah, it's Conan-kun, what's the matter? We didn't run around, we're playing cards in our room right now~"

"..."

There really is no 300 taels of silver in this place. How can anyone come up and report their address and then insist on swearing that they are not running around?

Serabel raised her forehead slightly, and even Conan, who had been with her for a long time and was almost integrated into the segment, was inevitably a little speechless.

But right now, he didn't have time to dwell on this, so he asked straight to the point.

"If nothing else, have you ever been to the smoking room on an airship before?"

"Uh……"

This is a simple question. Under normal circumstances, the three little ones should have answered it long ago.

However, I don't know whether it was because Conan's tone when asking questions was too harsh, or because he was taught from a young age that he was not allowed to smoke or go to the smoking room, but there was a brief hesitation on the other side of the detective badge.

But the more they didn't say anything, the more anxious Conan became and urged again.

"Answer me, did you go?"

"Go, go, go... I went, I went, but I just took a quick look at the door..."

Genta's voice in the detective badge was still coming out intermittently, but Conan could no longer hear it.

His eyes widened little by little, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.

"Where are you now? Stand still and don't move. I'll be here right away!"

"We are now..."

After hearing the approximate location reported by Genta in the detective badge, Conan turned around and rushed out of the observation room.

At the same time, high-altitude airflow roared outside the airship.

In the blue sky and white clouds, a black helicopter of unknown origin quietly followed directly behind the Suzuki airship like a sneaking predator, its high-speed rotating propellers making a roaring sound.

On board the helicopter was a heavily armed assault team. Everyone was wearing a tactical bulletproof vest, a hood covering their face, and a submachine gun with a full magazine hanging in front of them.

The only person whose face was not covered by a hood was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old, with a tall build, and a knife mark carved on the bridge of his nose, making him look like a fierce and experienced mercenary.

The middle-aged man stood at the door of the helicopter cabin, holding the safety handle on the door with one hand, looking down at the airship flying unknowingly low in front of him with emotionless eyes, and took out the airship from his body with the other hand. Cell phone, make a call.

"It's me. We're right above the airship now. What do you say?"

"Ah~ It's finally here. I know, I know. I was still wondering how long it would take for you to arrive. Staying in the smoking room is too boring..."

What came from the other end of the phone was an unexpectedly familiar voice. If Serabel was here, he would definitely recognize it as the voice of Fujioka Ryūdō, whose head was almost beheaded by him not long ago.

After finishing speaking, there was a sound of someone standing up from the sofa.

"Hmm~ Okay, I'm going to open the passage for you now. It's time for the good show to begin."?

Chapter 218

The perspective changes to the middle level of the airship.

This is located between the lower tourist area of ​​the airship and the upper sky observatory. Although no one comes here under normal circumstances, it occupies 70.00% of the entire airship space.

The overall shape of the middle space is roughly olive-shaped. In this spacious space that looks like an Olympic stadium, steel walkways and ladders are criss-crossed with a large number of support columns to support the huge football from the inside out.

Located in the center of the rugby is a fully transparent elevator shaft that runs from top to bottom. Twelve huge air bags are neatly arranged on both sides of the top of the elevator shaft. They are filled with helium that provides buoyancy for the entire airship. It looks like a whale in the quiet space. Floating like alveoli.

squeak--

Suddenly, with a dull sound of the door shaft turning, the tranquility was broken. The sealed iron door located at the bottom of the middle floor and connected to the outside by a steel walkway was pushed open from the outside.

A small figure flashed into the door, and then closed it again.

"Really, these guys can really run. How did they find a place like this? Besides, it all smells like rust. What's the fun in it?"

Conan complained and began to look around.
