Chapter 956: What Do You Understand Now?
Kuroba Kaito and Maki Juri whispered a few words. Seeing that the airplane was about to take off, they found their seats and sat down.
Conan withdrew his line of sight and lowered his head to ponder.
On the seat beside him, Haibara Ai, looking at a magazine, said, "You're still thinking about Kid, aren't you?"
"Huh?" Conan was slightly surprised and nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking..."
"Haven't you guys played the Letter Game?" From behind the seat backs of the two, Sawada Hiroki's head popped out.
Conan was startled. "Xiao Shu?"
Haibara Ai closed the magazine, turned her head to look at Sawada Hiroki who was leaning on their chair back, and asked, "Xiao Shu, do you want to play a game with us?"
"Let's play together too!" Genta said enthusiastically.
"But Xiao Shu, what is the Letter Game?" Ayumi asked.
Conan had Black Lines on Forehead. "Hey, hey..." It's fine if you don't help me think about Kid's matter, but please don't bother me, okay? He didn't want to play any Letter Game...
"It's just randomly saying one of the 26 letters, and then making a word, for example, if it's A, there's Apple..." Sawada Hiroki was still leaning on the Seat, looking at Conan and Haibara Ai, frantically giving a hint, "Or Alpha." These two were still pondering Kid's matter, he couldn't stand it anymore. Although he hadn't thought of this meaning even with Godfather's reminder last night, it didn't stop him from giving Conan a hint when he was bored.
"It's an English Word game." Mitsuhiko touched his chin, somewhat eager to try. "It doesn't seem too difficult."
"Xiao Shu is really amazing," Ayumi said smilingly. "Have you already started learning English?"
"If there are many participants, and there's a time limit and no repetition allowed, then it's still a bit difficult," Haibara Ai said leisurely. "Especially for Children, it's indeed a good educational game."
Conan had Half-Moon Eyes, and listlessly echoed, "Yeah." For this kind of game, if you give one, he can think of a string of them. Playing with Children is too much of a Cheat.
"But is Alpha an English Word?" Genta recalled, "I remember it seems to be a circle symbol with a long Tail..."
"Alpha, A-L-P-H-A," Haibara Ai spelled it out. "It is indeed an English Word, but it does indeed refer to the first letter in the Greek Alphabet, which is the symbol you're talking about."
Genta seemed to understand but not quite. "Then Xiao Shu didn't say anything wrong..."
Kisaki Eri pulled Sawada Hiroki to sit properly, but she didn't stop the Group of Children from playing. She listened smilingly, sighing in her Heart that this Group of Children was really extraordinary.
"Then..." Mitsuhiko looked down at his Seat Number '2K' on his Plane Ticket. "K! Let's say words starting with K next. Everyone come on, let Xiao Shu say first, then we say, even if you're the last one to say, you can't repeat!"
"Kilo." Sawada Hiroki said.
Silence.
Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko: "..."
Could you come up with something more common? Like Key, King, Kiss, or something...
Conan also didn't say anything, frowning and pondering.
Wait, 26 English Letters, and Alpha, Kilo...
"Then I'll say Keeper, manager, Guardian," Haibara Ai looked towards Conan, and seeing Conan in a deep thought appearance, she asked in confusion, "Edogawa?" This isn't difficult, right?
Conan's Eyes became brighter and brighter. "I See... I understand!"
"Oh?" Haibara Ai was Speechless. "What Do You Understand Now?"
In the Rear, a certain Child said faintly, "Understood that Romeo is R..."
Mitsuhiko, sitting in another row, couldn't hear Conan and Haibara Ai's Whispering, only heard Sawada Hiroki suddenly say this Sentence, and sweated, "Uh, Xiao Shu, we have to wait until we finish saying words starting with K before starting the next letter."
Haibara Ai understood, and asked Conan in a low voice, "Kid's Notice?"
"Yeah, in the Voice Code used in Radio Communication, in order to prevent reporting and listening errors, there will be English Word groups to represent the 26 letters, and it's also used in Flight flights," Conan said in a low voice with Half-Moon Eyes. "R is Romeo, J is Juliet, B is Bravo, V is Victor, corresponding to those four Word groups in Phantom Thief Kid's Notice. In Other Words, what Kid's Notice said, 'dancing and interweaving in the 26 letters'..."
"It refers to Radio Communication." Haibara Ai took over the words, "Or rather, Flight flights?"
Conan nodded with a determined face, and said in a low voice, "Moreover, it's very likely this Flight we're taking. The Notice is drawn with a Spade 2 Playing Cards torn in half, which refers to odd numbers that are not multiples of 2. The Flight numbers of this Airline Company departing from Tokyo are all odd numbers, and the Flight numbers returning to Tokyo are even numbers. If Kid wants to Take Action on the Jewel, he can only choose this departure Flight of ours. In Other Words, Phantom Thief Kid is very likely already mixed into the Airplane."
Silence.
Conan looked at Haibara Ai: "..." Is he sure this Child hasn't Shrinking?
Haibara Ai lowered her head, Silence, pondering: "..." Impossible...
The Airplane was about to take off. Doctor Agasa called for the other members of the Junior Detective League to sit down properly. Flight Attendants walked past, helping the Children fasten their Seatbelts.
In the Rear, the sound of Kisaki Eri's conversation with Sawada Hiroki could be heard clearly.
"Xiao Shu, come, drink some Water. When the Airplane takes off, your Ears will feel a little Uncomfortable, drinking Water will prevent that, okay?"
"I'll eat Snacks."
"Ah, eating Snacks is also okay, be careful not to choke. What do you want to eat?"
"This one."
In the Front, Mori Kogoro noticed that Maki Juri beside him was lowering her head and holding her forehead, and asked with concern, "What's Wrong?"
"I feel a little Uncomfortable." Maki Juri frowned and said.
"It must be because you're too tired, Juri, Reach Out your Hand..." Tenko Tajima, holding a Small Bottle, leaned forward and shook a Pill into Maki Juri's outstretched palm. "Eat a Vitamin."
Conan glanced at it and continued to Consider Sawada Hiroki's matter.
The Airplane took off, the cabin tilted slightly, and then stabilized.
When the Flight Attendant walked over and said that they could move around freely, Ayumi rubbed her Ear. "My Ears feel Weird."
"Hey, me too." Genta reached out and covered his Ears.
"That's because of the change in Air Pressure," Mitsuhiko said. "Just swallow your Saliva and it'll be fine."
Ayumi swallowed her Saliva. "It's still Weird."
Genta also tried it, and looked at Mitsuhiko. "It's useless."
"Then try pinching your Nose and exhaling a breath," Mitsuhiko said, demonstrating it himself. "Humph!"
"But you can't use too much force," Haibara Ai reminded, Speak Out. "Otherwise you'll get Dizziness."
"Haaa—Humph!" Genta pinched his Nose and exhaled a breath, smilingly letting go of his Hand. A string of Snot hung from his Nose to his Finger. "It's better now, huh? Huh? What's flowing out?"
Ayumi who See it: "..."
Chi Feichei Reach Out his Hand and handed a Paper to Genta. "Wipe it." Don't play with Snot like that, it's Uncomfortable for him to See. But after the Airplane took off, he didn't feel any discomfort in his Ears, and the feeling of weightlessness during a high-altitude fall wasn't particularly Uncomfortable either. This Cold was quite worth it, and his Body's overall qualities have improved a lot.
"Ah? Thank You, Brother Chi." Genta took the Paper and obediently wiped his Snot.
Ayumi lowered her head and pinched her Nose, just about to exhale, her Action suddenly stopped again. She looked up at Chi Feichei who was paying attention to their side, and then looked at Conan who had Turn Head to Look Towards her, put down her Hand, and said in a slightly embarrassed low voice, "Could you guys not Look at me..."
"Girls are very conscious of their Appearance," Haibara Ai Speak Out. "All Males, Turn Head."
Conan chuckled drily and withdrew his Line of Sight. Such a big Child, already knows to start maintaining Appearance in front of the opposite sex, huh.
"Opening your Mouth wide to Yawn is also okay." Chi Feichei Say a Sentence, and didn't continue to Look down.
Ayumi tried to open her Mouth wide, and suddenly realized that this was still very unladylike. She secretly Glanced at Chi Feichei over in the Aisle, turned sideways towards the Window, pinched her Nose, and exhaled.
"Is it better now, Ayumi?" Mitsuhiko Turn Head to Look at the other side.
"It's better, it's not Uncomfortable anymore." Ayumi said smilingly.
Only then did Conan Get Up and lean on the Chair Back, Gaze at Sawada Hiroki who was being held by Kisaki Eri in the Rear. "Xiao Shu, you did it Intentionally, right? I mean the Letter Game..." He thought about it over and over, and felt that the Possibility of it being a coincidence was too small. A mentioned the saying 'Alpha' in Radio Communication, and K was also the saying 'Kilo' in Radio Communication. How could there be such a coincidence?
"What Intentionally?" Genta asked in Doubt.
Sawada Hiroki nestled in Kisaki Eri's arms, eating Potato Chips, Turn Head to Look at Chi Feichei for two seconds, and decisively shifted the Responsibility. "I heard Uncle Hissashi recite it last night. A is Alpha, B is Bravo, C is Charlie, D is Delta, E is Echo, F is Foxtrot, G is Golf, H is Hotel, I is India, J is Juliet, K is Kilo, L is Lima, M is Mike, N is November, O is Oscar, P is Papa, Q is Quebec, R is Romeo, S is Sierra, T is Tango, U is Uniform, V is Victor, W is Whiskey, X is X-ray, Y is Yankee, Z is Zulu... I memorized it and wanted to play the Letter Game with everyone."
"I See, so that's how it is." Mitsuhiko misunderstood that Conan's 'Intentionally' meant that Xiao Shu memorized it first and then Intentionally asked them to play, and said with a smile, "At Xiao Shu's Age, it's already amazing to memorize it and then play. Conan, don't be so fussy anymore!"
"Yeah, it's very amazing..." Conan said with Half-Moon Eyes, but his Eye was aiming at Chi Feichei. So it turned out to be a Fellow who is not good at Deciphering Code. That's not surprising. But what's also not surprising is that he clearly knew it long ago but still didn't tell him. If Xiao Shu hadn't memorized it and brought it up today, was Chi Feichei still Intention to watch coldly and see him struggle for a long time? Really... As Little Friend, if you have Clues or Answers, share them!
Chi Feichei ignored Conan's resentful Gaze with a calm Face. Actually, he just remembered the Plot... But when he thought of Conan once Acting Cute and rolling around in his Car Backseat because of these Things, he didn't want to explain.
"But Xiao Shu, aren't your Ears Uncomfortable?" Ayumi asked with concern. "Whether or Not you want to try pinching your Nose and exhaling a breath?"
"No Need, oh, he was eating Snacks when the Airplane took off, his Ears won't be Uncomfortable because of the change in Air Pressure," Kisaki Eri said smilingly, looking down at the Child in her arms. "Because the discomfort caused by the change in Air Pressure is more Uncomfortable for Children of this Age, and it may also lead to the occurrence of some Diseases, and they may not be able to follow the Adults' Instructions to do relieving Actions. So when taking a one-year-old Child on an Airplane, you can let them eat Snacks or drink milk from a Baby Bottle when the Airplane takes off. Swallowing helps to relieve the discomfort caused by the change in Air Pressure."
