Chapter Summaries

Irish and Hashimoto Maya waited to see whether Uzo would threaten the plane, while Kaito Kuroba stayed hidden and prepared to act only if necessary. In economy class, Okiya Subaru overheard reporters discussing Maki Juri’s murder and the poison involved, while the passengers remained unaware of the plane’s danger.

• Irish told Hashimoto Maya to wait and watch rather than risk exposing themselves or escalating the crisis.
• Kaito Kuroba helped a passenger back into his seat and decided to stay hidden while the Autopilot System kept the plane flying.
• Okiya Subaru eavesdropped as three reporters discussed the murder of Maki Juri and the secrets revealed by her makeup artist.
• The reporters worried they might have touched cyanide at the crime scene and praised Jiang Xia for solving the case quickly.

Okiya Subaru worried that Uzo’s story about a disobedient subordinate was a warning, so he drafted an email to reassure his superior. Before he could send it, the plane plunged downward, and Irish discovered that the unconscious captain had knocked the autopilot off; Irish tried to regain control but his injured shoulder failed him.

• Okiya Subaru drafted an email telling his superior that he wanted to remain in Japan and serve under his command, but could not send it because the flight had no WiFi.
• The plane suddenly plunged, terrifying Okiya Subaru and throwing Hashimoto Maya and Irish to the cabin floor.
• Hashimoto Maya threw away his prayer cross, while Irish rushed into the cockpit and found the captain unconscious against the controls.
• Irish ordered a flight attendant to move the captain, then lifted him away from the Control Stick himself.
• Irish tried to take control of the plane, but his injured shoulder hurt and his hand slipped off the Control Stick.

Jiang Xia stopped the plane’s dive and Hashimoto Maya restored autopilot, averting the crash. As the passengers settled, Kid knocked out Conan and returned him to Ran, while Irish ordered Hashimoto to examine the pilots.

• Jiang Xia took the controls and pulled the plane out of its dive until it stabilized above the clouds.
• Hashimoto Maya switched on autopilot, and Kid stopped Conan from entering the cockpit by putting him to sleep with an anesthetic needle.
• Kid handed the sleeping Conan to Mouri Ran and told her the child had knocked himself out on an armrest.
• Irish told Hashimoto Maya to examine the incapacitated pilots, and Hashimoto reluctantly began checking the Captain.
• Suzuki Sonoko asked Hashimoto why he had not helped when Maki Juri was poisoned, and he claimed he had been too inexperienced and flustered.

After the plane’s crisis, Hashimoto Maya and Irish spoke with passengers while Conan quietly investigated the people aboard. He suspected Irish and the supposed medical student, Mr. George, but still had no clues about whether the mysterious executive had arranged the events.

• Suzuki Sonoko told Hashimoto Maya to visit crime scenes more often so he could become bolder about helping people.
• A flight attendant thanked Irish for helping the Captain, and Irish worried that public praise would expose him.
• Conan hid by the cockpit and decided to gather clues quietly, while Kaito Kuroba watched him and prepared to use one of his own Anesthetic Needles.
• Conan recalled Irish’s reaction when the Captain was poisoned and wondered whether the mysterious executive, That Lord, had caused the accident.
• After reviewing the passengers’ reactions, Conan identified Irish and the supposed medical student, Mr. George, as the two most suspicious people.

Conan explained how Maki Juri’s poisoned hand caused the pilots to collapse, while Hashimoto Maya began treating them. After Irish accidentally struck a cockpit control during turbulence, Jiang Xia and Hashimoto realized he may have opened the Fuel Exchange Valve.

• Conan explained that the pilots had kissed Maki Juri’s poisoned fingertips and later ingested the toxin while eating.
• Hashimoto Maya diagnosed the pilots with acute poisoning and ordered them moved to the cabin and given oxygen.
• Jiang Xia asked Irish to help move the co-pilot, then redirected the request to Hashimoto Maya because Irish’s arm was injured.
• The plane jolted, and Irish struck a control while bracing himself against the overhead panel.
• Jiang Xia said he had seen several markers rotate on a screen, and Hashimoto Maya suspected Irish had opened the Fuel Exchange Valve.

After Hashimoto Maya stabilized the three poisoned pilots, he and Irish decided not to rely on them and contacted the Control Tower for help. Jiang Xia took the pilot's seat despite admitting he could not really fly, leaving Irish alarmed and Hashimoto Maya relieved that he might avoid becoming the plane's hero.

• Hashimoto Maya treated the three pilots and judged that they could recover, but worried the Captain might panic and endanger the plane.
• Hashimoto Maya, Irish, and Jiang Xia returned to the cockpit, where Hashimoto Maya contacted the airport's Control Tower.
• Jiang Xia announced that he would fly the plane, and Irish warned him not to touch the controls carelessly.
• Jiang Xia sat in the pilot's seat, while Hashimoto Maya quietly felt relieved that he would not have to take the role himself.

After the pilots on a long-haul flight were incapacitated, Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya worked with Hakodate Airport’s Control Tower to prepare for an emergency landing. Hashimoto feared Uzo was watching and planned to escape to the United Kingdom, while Irish remained uneasy as the plane approached the airport.

• Hashimoto Maya persuaded Jiang Xia to help fly the plane, offering his own knowledge of aviation.
• Jiang Xia reported the plane’s altitude and speed to Hakodate Airport’s Control Tower, while Hashimoto explained that they needed precise guidance for manual operations.
• Kaito Kuroba stayed away from the cockpit to protect his Phantom Thief identity and silently vowed to report Hashimoto if he committed a crime.
• Hashimoto Maya suspected Uzo was watching and resolved to flee to the United Kingdom after the landing and once Uzo returned to Japan.
• Hakodate Airport halted other flights, prepared a runway, and arranged experienced Pilots to guide the plane as Jiang Xia, Hashimoto Maya, and Irish prepared for landing.

Okiya Subaru worried as the plane approached its destination through a violent thunderstorm, while Conan exposed Kaito Kuroba as Kid after mistaking him for Anonymous. Kid explained the real Shinjo Isao’s planned trip to Hokkaido, but the plan was no longer possible because the person who hired Jiang Xia to protect the gemstone had died.

• Okiya Subaru watched the storm from his seat and feared for the plane as it prepared to land.
• Conan left the cockpit after seeing Jiang Xia learn about the aircraft controls from Hashimoto Maya and Irish.
• Conan asked Kaito Kuroba, disguised as Maki Juri’s old lover, to reveal his Pattern Seal, then tried to tear off his disguise.
• Conan identified Kaito as Kid by the different Anesthetic Needle and the missing needle from his Wristwatch.
• Conan explained that the real Shinjo Isao had been expected elsewhere, and Kid revealed that Shinjo planned to fly to Hokkaido and pose as Kid.
• Kid noted that Shinjo’s plan could no longer happen because the person who hired Jiang Xia to protect the gemstone had died.

Kaito Kuroba explained that he gave up on stealing Maki Juri’s Stone of Destiny because he had discovered it was a fake. Conan suspected Kid’s choices had been influenced by someone connected to the plane’s poisoning, and asked him to list everyone he had met.

• Kaito Kuroba told Conan that the Blue Sapphire in Maki Juri’s ring was a cheap fake, so he no longer planned to steal it.
• Conan grew alarmed when he connected Kid’s hand-kiss to Maki Juri’s interaction with the captain and the pilot’s poisoning.
• Conan questioned why Kid had chosen to disguise himself as Maki Juri’s lover and board the plane instead of verifying the ring through safer methods.
• Conan suggested Kid might have encountered a mysterious man who had influenced his decisions and asked him to list everyone he had met since targeting the gem.
• Kaito Kuroba suspected Conan wanted to use the list to uncover his identity and arrest him.

Kaito Kuroba knocked Conan unconscious again and worried over Conan’s claim that someone was controlling him, while the real Shinjo Isao fled Inspector Nakamori in a Kid costume. Jiang Xia remained in the cockpit as the control tower guided him toward a safe landing.

• Kaito Kuroba drugged Conan, carried him back to Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, and told them Conan had fallen asleep after hitting an armrest.
• Kaito Kuroba dismissed Conan’s warning about being controlled, then worried that the real Shinjo Isao might be caught while he was aboard the plane under that identity.
• Shinjo Isao raced through Hakodate in a Kid costume as Inspector Nakamori and dozens of police cars pursued him.
• Jiang Xia monitored the autopilot in the cockpit while Hashimoto Maya considered telling him a ghost story but avoided giving him food or drink.
• The airport Control Tower contacted Jiang Xia and instructed him to change the radio frequency to 118.35.

Jiang Xia followed Captain Shimaoka’s instructions and guided the plane toward Hakodate Airport, while Hashimoto Maya and Irish remained on edge. Just as the plane was about to land, lightning struck the cockpit.

• Captain Shimaoka instructed Jiang Xia to activate the approach system, and Jiang Xia set the plane to land automatically.
• Hashimoto Maya refused to take over the controls, and Irish misinterpreted his warning that he would crash the plane as a possible threat.
• Captain Shimaoka reassured the Control Department Chief that the plane’s autopilot was protected against lightning strikes.
• Jiang Xia adjusted the wings and landing gear as Captain Shimaoka guided the plane toward Hakodate Airport.
• A bolt of lightning struck the cockpit at the nose of the plane just before it landed.

After lightning knocked out the plane’s instruments and autopilot, Jiang Xia followed Captain Shimaoka’s directions to keep the aircraft aloft, but it careened toward the airport’s Tower Building. The chapter ended as the Control Department Chief closed his eyes before the approaching plane.

• Lightning struck the plane, blacking out its cockpit Dashboards while leaving its radio intact.
• Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya restored power by turning a backup switch, but Irish discovered the autopilot had failed.
• Captain Shimaoka ordered Jiang Xia to abort the landing and climb, since the plane had not slowed enough to land safely.
• Jiang Xia struggled to steer through strong winds, narrowly avoiding the ground and a steel fence before the plane headed toward the Tower Building.
• The Control Department Chief watched the plane rush toward him and closed his eyes, fearing the imminent collision.

Jiang Xia piloted the plane through a near collision with the Control Tower, while the detached engine caused a chain of explosions across the airport. As Vodka checked a news alert about Jiang Xia, he realized the flight might have landed and Uzo could be back in Japan.

• Jiang Xia reinforced himself with Puppet Clay and pulled the control stick, guiding the plane past the Control Tower, though an engine tore off and crashed below.
• The engine explosion sent vehicles flying and ignited a fuel line, causing another plane to burst into flames; the Control Tower staff survived without casualties.
• Okiya Subaru watched the fires below and recalled his disastrous romantic history before resolving to find a girlfriend if he survived.
• An intern reporter photographed the airport disaster and sent out a news report while grieving for her mentor aboard the plane.
• Vodka received a news alert related to Jiang Xia and realized the flight might have landed, possibly bringing Uzo back to Japan.

Vodka mistook an airport explosion for Uzo's death, but Gin told him Uzo was still alive and ordered him to investigate the incident. As Vodka pieced together what had happened, Gin remembered Irish's email saying he was flying to meet Uzo.

• Vodka saw a photo of the airport wreckage and wrongly concluded that Uzo had died, then celebrated until Gin caught him.
• Gin read the news, told Vodka that Uzo was alive, and ordered him to check the latest reports and send nearby Organization members to the airport.
• Vodka realized the destroyed plane had been empty and that Uzo's aircraft was still safely in the air.
• Gin drove while Vodka searched online for reports, passenger accounts, and airport surveillance footage.
• Gin remembered Irish's email saying he would fly to an appointment at Uzo's invitation and telling unrelated people to stay clear.

Gin and Vodka pieced together how Uzo had taken control of the damaged plane, leaving Irish likely to land it and attract public attention. Gin accepted that Uzo was behind the disaster and wondered whether That Lord had found a psychiatrist.

• Vodka found reports of a murder and poisoning aboard the plane, where the pilots had become unable to move and an enthusiastic passenger named Jiang Xia was flying it.
• Gin and Vodka realized the plane had failed to land after lightning damaged its Autopilot System, and Vodka suspected Uzo had tampered with it to take control.
• Vodka reasoned that the plane could keep circling until it found a place to land, but Irish would likely have to step forward and become a public hero.
• Gin decided Irish was not capable of treating a plane like a toy and recognized Uzo as the main cause of the incident.
• Gin wondered whether That Lord had found a suitable psychiatrist, since Vermouth had not reported any progress.

Gin decided the Organization’s Doctors needed more survival training, while Vodka reconsidered whether Uzo’s ability to make targets die without exposing the Organization made him useful. After the airplane stabilized, Captain Shimaoka confirmed that the crash had caused no casualties and began guiding the damaged plane toward a safe landing.

• Gin blamed the Doctors’ poor vigilance and self-preservation skills for their deaths and considered adding requirements for future recruits.
• Vodka reasoned that Uzo could eliminate difficult targets without drawing suspicion, but still hoped Uzo would expose the Organization and be killed.
• Jiang Xia checked on Hashimoto Maya and Irish after the airplane stabilized, while Hashimoto despaired over the ruined runway and lack of emergency landing sites.
• Captain Shimaoka contacted the cockpit by radio and reported that no one had been injured or killed in the crash.
• Hashimoto Maya found that the plane’s second engine had detached, and Captain Shimaoka said the remaining three engines could carry it through the flight before his transmission was interrupted.

Jiang Xia kept the plane stable while Captain Shimaoka guided him through manual flight, and the group waited for the autopilot to recover. Irish discovered the fuel was nearly gone, leaving the plane with only about ten minutes in the air.

• Captain Shimaoka guided Jiang Xia through manual controls, and Jiang Xia stabilized the plane and circled at 4,500 feet.
• Jiang Xia stopped Matsuda Jinpei from interfering with the cockpit and kept Noah ready to take over if needed.
• Irish endured his injured shoulder and checked the plane, finding that the autopilot had not recovered.
• Irish noticed the fuel was almost gone, and Hashimoto Maya saw that the remaining fuel was rapidly dropping.

After lightning knocked an engine off the plane, Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya realized that Irish had left the fuel-transfer valve open, causing fuel to leak rapidly and leaving them unlikely to reach Hakodate Airport. With the radio broken and the fuel running low, Jiang Xia began searching for an emergency landing site while Kaito Kuroba worried that a hidden force might be behind the disasters.

• Jiang Xia identified Irish's open fuel-transfer valve as the reason fuel was draining through the fallen engine, and Hashimoto Maya confirmed the plane might not have enough fuel to reach Hakodate Airport.
• Jiang Xia comforted Irish, then asked the Captain how soon the runway would be cleared; Hashimoto Maya told him to seek a nearby emergency landing site instead.
• Jiang Xia discovered that the radio was broken, while Hashimoto Maya and Irish's Killing Intent rose behind him.
• Kaito Kuroba overheard the cockpit's predicament, reflected on the chain of disasters and wondered whether someone was secretly manipulating events.
• Jiang Xia proposed using the plane's map to find an emergency landing site, and Hashimoto Maya resolved not to give up.

With the plane running low on fuel and one engine missing, Jiang Xia and the others searched for a place to make an emergency landing. They chose Sakimori Pier and steered toward it, leaving the landing attempt ahead.

• Hashimoto Maya calculated that the plane had roughly ten minutes of fuel and searched the map for a place to land.
• Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran entered the cockpit and learned from Irish that Hakodate Airport was unsuitable and the plane was running out of fuel.
• Mouri Ran recalled a wide, straight road on Sakimori Pier, and Hashimoto Maya confirmed it was about 1,400 meters long and 30 meters wide.
• Jiang Xia explained how the plane's lighter weight and a westerly headwind might help it land on the short pier road.
• Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya adjusted the plane's course toward Sakimori Pier.

Jiang Xia continued steering the plane toward an emergency landing while Kaito Kuroba arranged for the passengers to move and falsely announced a diversion to Chitose Airport. In Hokkaido, Inspector Megure and his colleagues admired Hakucho Bridge and realized Jiang Xia was returning to the area.

• Jiang Xia offered Mouri Ran the chance to fly, but she refused and insisted he stay at the controls.
• Kaito Kuroba decided the landing site needed more lighting, then told the flight attendant to move first-class passengers and announce an emergency landing at Chitose Airport.
• At Hakodate Control Tower, the Control Department Chief discovered the plane had left its holding pattern, while Captain Shimaoka worried about the passengers.
• Inspector Megure, Officer Shiratori, and Officer Takagi visited Hakucho Bridge and discussed Jiang Xia’s expected return from London.
• In Tokyo, Sato Miwako recalled Jiang Xia’s return and went to sleep, anticipating that his cases might make her busy again.
