Jiang Hang was curious about how the murderer planned to clear himself of suspicion after killing Maki Juri.

She probably didn't think she could use this method to make people think that the chocolate balls were poisoned beforehand, so that the police wouldn't examine Maki Juri's body more thoroughly, right?

After all, death from cyanide poisoning would obviously be treated as a criminal case, and given that Maki Juri is a public figure, the probability of her undergoing an autopsy and dissection if she dies is almost 100%.

Even if cyanide evaporates relatively quickly, some residual traces will still be left on the victim's fingers and face. Once these traces are detected, the identity of the murderer can almost be confirmed.

Is she betting that the forensic doctor won't be able to find the other person's face during the autopsy?

After thinking about it, this seems to be the most likely possibility.

However, after Jiang Hang appeared, the other party's objective was thwarted before it could be implemented.

But it seems that precisely because his purpose was exposed, Sakai Natsuki, now the prime suspect, exploded on the spot when faced with Maki Juri's provocative questioning.

She immediately retorted to Maki Juri, "If you hadn't ruined my biggest dream in this life, I wouldn't have done this. Don't you know what you've done?"

Although Jiang Hang didn't care much about the reasons for these crimes, the fight between the two women was still quite lively.

He also took two steps back, leaving the stage to the two women.

At the same time, the situation was quickly clarified during the conflict.

The gist of the story is that Sakai Natsuki recently received an invitation from Hollywood to attend an awards ceremony and do makeup for Hollywood stars.

If she can fully utilize her skills, she can truly become a top makeup artist in the industry.

This was also a dream she had pursued for a long time.

However, Maki Juri found Sakai Natsuki very easy to use, as she could help with many other secretarial and assistant tasks besides makeup artistry, making her much more useful than her actual assistant Yaguchi Masayo.

Maki Juri had even considered dismissing Yaguchi Masayo Sakai Natsuki and having Sakai Natsuki take on both roles.

Under these circumstances, without consulting Sakai Natsuki, Maki Juri secretly sabotaged the invitation.

However, her methods were a bit lacking, and Sakai Natsuki inadvertently discovered the truth.

Sakai Natsuki was already somewhat dissatisfied with Maki Juri's usual harshness, and after discovering this truth, she developed hatred for Maki Juri.

So she managed to get some high-concentration cyanide, mixed it into her own perfume, and applied it to Maki Juri's face.

In fact, the method she used was quite subtle; she didn't apply the poison perfume all over the other person's face.

Instead, they simply selected a few places that were easy for her fingers to touch, such as the bridge of her nose and a spot a little distance from the corner of her mouth. As long as they could get Maki Juri to touch these spots, they could naturally transfer the cyanide to her fingers.

As long as it can be ensured that Maki Juri dies on the plane, by the time she gets off the plane and the cyanide has mostly evaporated, it should be difficult for the police to detect that the problem is with the perfume when they arrive to conduct tests.

Of course, Sakai Natsuki was mentally prepared for the investigation to come to light.

So after being discovered by Maki Juri, she directly admitted that she had done it all, as she wanted to take revenge on Maki Juri.

Given their mental state, if the flight attendants hadn't intervened, these two women would have really started fighting on the plane.

Of course, Jiang Hang had reminded the flight attendants that Maki Juri's hands and face might have some highly toxic substances on them, and that they should be careful not to touch them.

It was only at this moment that Maki Juri realized that the most important thing for her now was to wash her face.

She glared angrily at Sakai Natsuki, who had already been restrained, then turned and went to the bathroom.

However, the next moment, the flight attendant next to her realized that Maki Juri's fingers were poisoned and also let out a scream in panic.

"Wait a minute, it seems like the captain and co-pilot have known Miss Mu for a long time. Just now, Miss Mu even went into the cockpit and let them kiss her fingers. Could the captain and the others be poisoned too?"

Chapter 548: Jiang Hang's Riding Skill

Almost at the same time the flight attendant uttered those words in a terrified voice, the passengers in the cabin who heard them immediately showed expressions of fear.

After all, they are thousands of meters in the air right now. If something really happens to the pilot, wouldn't they all be doomed?!

It was Jiang Hang who spoke up and calmed everyone down.

He only got up and went upstairs after seeing Maki Juri, a woman with a face full of poison, running into the cabin to chat with the captain.

After all, Maki Juri had always been under his control.

However, if something unexpected happens in the cockpit of the plane, and he cannot take over immediately, even with his current physical condition and assassin bloodline, as long as there is sea below, he still has a chance to save his life through Leap of Faith. But the other people on the plane will have no chance of survival.

Even with two experts Kaito Kid and Conan around, Jiang Hang still chose to go upstairs early just to be on the safe side. As soon as he sensed anything amiss in the cockpit, he would immediately take control of the plane.

"Could you please check the cockpit first? I have a pilot's license and have flown private planes abroad. If necessary, I can help control the aircraft."

The Riding Skill provided by the system are comprehensive. Cars are just one part of it. Basically, Jiang Hang has learned about almost anything that can be driven in the learning space.

Moreover, they all have valid certificates, so there will be no unlicensed driving.

Let alone airplanes, even if a nuclear submarine or a rocket were placed in front of him, he could still get on and take control without changing his expression.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Hang's statement, many people in the cabin calmed down a bit.

After all, Jiang Hang's reputation as a famous detective speaks for itself, and there were a few people in this group who vaguely knew some of Jiang Hang's background.

The only person who might have had a conflict with Jiang Hang, Maki Juri, is currently in the bathroom washing off the poison from her face.

Therefore, under Jiang Hang's command, the cabin immediately became much calmer.

Then Jiang Hang glanced at the silent Kaito Kid sitting in the back, gave him a look that said, "Looks like you won't have a chance to appear this time," and then carried Conan toward the cockpit.

After all, Conan did seem to have learned how to fly a plane from his dad in Hawaii, so he's definitely capable of flying helicopters. Since Kaito Kid isn't planning to show up, Conan can come and help him out.

As the flight attendant opened the cockpit door, the two captains frowned slightly upon seeing her bring a stranger into the cockpit.

After all, Maki Juri had worked as a flight attendant for a few years and had cooperated with them for several years. She knew about these things on the plane and wouldn't touch things recklessly.

Even after being discovered by a talent scout and switching careers to become an actress, because the scout had bought a villa in Hakodate, the scout would occasionally take this flight, so they were considered old acquaintances for many years.

But what's the situation now?

However, before the two captains could ask any questions, they first noticed the flight attendant's flustered expression, and then she began to stammer about what had just happened in the cabin.

Although she was a professionally trained flight attendant, this was the first time she had encountered such a poisoning incident on a flight, which could even implicate the captain. Therefore, the flight attendant's explanation took a while and she couldn't quite grasp the main point.

Jiang Hang, who was standing behind, finished the explanation for the other party.

"To put it simply, your old friend Maki Juri has been poisoned, and you may have just come into contact with the poison on her fingertips. For the safety of the flight, I need to conduct some checks on you now. Also, if you are indeed poisoned, I will need to take over the flight for you."

As Jiang Hang said this, he handed his business card to the captain, who had not yet shown signs of infection.

The captain took the business card with some skepticism.

Although this was their first meeting, Jiang Hang was now quite a celebrity, and the co-pilot seemed to have heard of Jiang Hang before.

"You're that amazing Eagle-Eyed Detective's been all over the place lately?"

He wiped his forehead, looking somewhat nervous.

After all, they had indeed kissed each other's hands at Maki Juri's invitation.

If the other party really had some deadly toxin on their hands, wouldn't their lives be in danger now?

"Yes, I am. I also have a special pilot's license and a foreign medical qualification certificate, so I need to test you now. But before that, you can explain this to the ground control center."

Jiang Hang, who possesses advanced Poison Mastery, was able to tell from just a few glances and a touch of the other person's pulse that the poisoning was not severe, at most only moderate.

Symptoms of dizziness and difficulty breathing will begin to appear about three or four minutes later, and the captain who first kissed Maki Juri's hand will likely fall into a coma as a result.

Before this, the other party was able to explain the situation to the ground control center normally.

As pilots, both captains are quite decisive. After learning about their situation, they immediately contacted the ground control center.

After explaining the situation, and experiencing a slight loss of clarity, he promptly unbuckled his seatbelt, sat in the seat behind the cockpit, and observed how Jiang Hang had taken over.

They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Jiang Hang had indeed demonstrated extraordinary proficiency with the instruments and equipment on the aircraft.

The only thing that made them feel uneasy was the little boy that Jiang Hang had brought in.

Wouldn't it be okay for a little boy who looks to be only five or six years old to be in the cockpit?

"Don't worry, I watched him grow up. His dad taught him a bunch of skills in Hawaii. He also had experience flying helicopters before. Although he might have some problems flying this kind of plane, he should be fine as an assistant."

Of course, Jiang Hang also suggested that the flight attendant could go to the business class to find someone with piloting experience, and perhaps even find a Kaito Kid who would be willing to come and help.

In short, thanks to Jiang Hang's intervention, the situation on the plane was stabilized, and the two captains subsequently took the antidote that Jiang Hang had prepared in advance.

Of course, since their poisoning wasn't too severe, the antidote Jiang Hang gave them was further diluted so that they could feel the negative effects on their bodies, but it wouldn't have a significant impact on their health.

Seeing that the two captains had already shown symptoms of turning purple and having difficulty breathing before receiving IV fluids, the flight attendants watching nearby couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear.

If they had discovered this a few minutes later, it's hard to say what would have happened to their flight.

As for Maki Juri, Jiang Hang did ask her if she wanted to come over and get an IV drip together, but Maki Juri, who had been washing herself in the bathroom for half an hour, refused.

According to her, she would arrive at the airport in about ten minutes. As long as nothing unexpected happened, she had already contacted the hospital there, and she could take an ambulance directly to the hospital for a full medical check-up as soon as she got off the plane.

She only asked Jiang Hang to confirm her poisoning status, and it was enough for her to know that she should not have any symptoms before the plane landed.

Even poisoning is fine, as long as it's not fatal when you get off the plane.

Even though Jiang Hang saved her life, Maki Juri's personality didn't seem to change much; in fact, it became even more extreme.

At least she didn't think Jiang Hang's medical skills were enough to deal with such a highly toxic substance as cyanide. Instead of having Jiang Hang administer the IV, she thought it would be better to wait and have more professional medical staff come.

Jiang Hang didn't care at all about this.

He was genuinely worried that if he gave the other person the antidote he had prepared, the other person might come after him because of vomiting and diarrhea.

After all, he had just experienced a similar incident not long ago.

Now, Maki Juri's response is the best he could have imagined.

After all, he should have no further contact with this woman after this incident, and whether she would suffer any lasting health problems as a result of the poisoning was no longer his concern.

Some unexpected things actually happened during the rest of the journey.

Because it's been snowing in Hakodate recently, it slightly slowed down the plane's landing speed.

Originally, the ground crew wanted Jiang Hang wait until the weather conditions were more stable before landing, because they were worried about his skills.

But the enhancement from the advanced Riding Skill is truly not for nothing. Let alone snow, even if several bolts of lightning were to strike the plane right now, Jiang Hang would not allow anything to happen to it.

He can even now use this plane to perform some technical maneuvers that would normally be difficult for it.

After Jiang Hang repeatedly assured him that his skills were not a problem, he still managed to land the plane at the airport quite steadily after a 15-minute delay.

Seeing the crew members and ground control personnel visibly relieved after landing, and even cheers and sounds of relief coming from the cabin, it was clear that they were relieved.

Jiang Hang felt that flying the plane like this was really meaningless and didn't allow him to fully utilize his abilities.

Hopefully, there will be an opportunity in the future for him to demonstrate his skillful control of the large spin technique in the learning space.

Because the hospital and police had been notified in advance, almost as soon as they got off the plane, the ambulance quickly loaded the two captains, who had recovered slightly, and Maki, who had finally collapsed during landing, onto the Maki Juri and sent them to the hospital.

Jiang Hang wasn't worried that the antidote would be discovered, since the two captains did indeed have some cyanide residue in their bodies, and even if they were tested, they would be able to detect mild poisoning symptoms.

Besides, the treatment for cyanide in this world is still the same old methods. Severe cases are incurable and result in immediate death, while mild to moderate cases are treated with gastric lavage and conventional antidotes.

It's impossible to find his Ke Xue antidote.

In short, after saying goodbye to the captains and seeing Sakai Natsuki, who looked gloomy as she was led off the plane by the police, Jiang Hang couldn't help but shake his head.

Normally, an attempted murder by poisoning would only result in about ten years in prison, but with a reduction in sentence, it could be released in about seven or eight years.

But the fact that they caused trouble on an airplane, almost killing all the passengers, has made them a serious criminal.

Ten years can turn into indefinite imprisonment; no matter what, he'll have to spend at least twenty years in jail.

However, she had already achieved her goal of revenge.

When the ambulance took her away, Maki Juri was already in a coma. Although modern medical technology could most likely save her, the recovery period would be quite long.

At least for the next year or two, the other person will definitely not be able to perform on stage anymore.

"So you've already figured out that the gem is fake?" Before disembarking, Conan stood behind the person disguised as Kaito Kid and asked him.

"Yes, I sensed it when I first came into contact with that gem," Kaito Kid shrugged helplessly.

Because having Conan sit in the front passenger seat was still a bit too worrying, the flight attendant obviously went out to ask the passengers again.

He was unsure whether he had been poisoned by his previous contact with the virus, so he decided to join Jiang Hang and Conan in piloting the plane and check if he had been poisoned.

Fortunately, he only kissed the fake gem. Although his hands may have been contaminated with some toxins, as a competent phantom thief, he naturally wore a layer of disguised thin gloves to prevent himself from leaving fingerprints at the scene so easily.

Therefore, Jiang Hang only gave him a look, which reassured him a lot.

However, his younger brother does indeed have a very keen sense of smell.

Jiang Hang probably hadn't revealed anything about him, yet his younger brother had already figured out his identity.

Under such circumstances, even if the gem is real, and even if Maki Juri doesn't encounter any crisis during this trip, it seems difficult for him to calmly take the gem and leave.
