While the first-grade child laborer carried a camera around and worked diligently at the murder scene.
In the corridor outside the restroom.
Jiang Xia stifled a yawn and turned to look toward the cabin, his gaze sweeping over the passengers.
Jiang Xia: "..." A murder case had suddenly occurred on the plane. With something this serious, wasn't there any police officer or someone similar who could step up and handle it?
There was no hope for Tokyo's Investigation Division 1. When the plane took off, Inspector Megure, Sato Miwako, and the others were still busy wrapping up the previous murder case.
But the plane was almost in the United Kingdom now. Shouldn't a couple of British police officers show up?
—If a murder case occurred somewhere in a city, the police were undoubtedly among the groups most likely to receive the news.
In other words, getting hold of a local police officer's business card meant having more opportunities to wander around crime scenes... And an enclosed environment like an airplane would surely foster a feeling of mutual appreciation between detectives and police officers.
He was looking forward to it when someone patted his shoulder.

Jiang Xia turned around and saw that the flight attendants had finally come to their senses.
They asked worriedly in low voices, "Is it really okay to let that child photograph the scene?"
"Of course." Jiang Xia looked as though it was no big deal as he patiently explained, "Children are more attentive. And his unique perspective can help us discover quite a few hidden issues."
"...I-Is that so?"
Looking at his perfectly natural expression, the flight attendants could not help gaining an entirely new understanding of the concept of a "first-grade child."
As they spoke, several people suddenly came over from first class.
