Shinichi yawned softly, covering his mouth with his hand to muffled the noises as he leaned against his seat comfortably. He looked out the window into the night sky without much interest, glancing at the person next to him occasionally.

KID- Kaito, was busy playing games with his tablet.

They had changed their school uniforms into their casual wear on the flight to Paris.

Two more hours until the plane lands, he thought with a sigh, glancing at his tranquilliser watch, bored out of his mind.

He then glanced at Jigen, who was asleep next to Kaito after reading his newspapers before moving towards Lupin, Fujiko and Goemon in the seats in front of them.

Shinichi yawned again before poking at Kaito with a pout. His blue eyes gleamed when twin indigo orbs clashed with his in surprise. Kaito switched off his tablet before paying attention to the elder teen.

"Are you bored? You look sleepy, Meitantei," Kaito murmured, running his hand through Shinichi's hair gently. The cowlick haired male nodded his head, body relaxed under the hand scratching his scalp with much gentleness.

"Jetlagged," he answered.

"Figured," Kaito commented and as if on cue, someone in the front row let out a scream, making Shinichi startled.

The international thief let out a wry smile towards Shinichi. "Well, not so bored now, is it?"

"Very funny, Kuroba." Shinichi stood up and ordered everyone to remain on their seats, putting on his gloves.

"Who are you to order us around?" a bratty bald man demanded before Shinichi pinned his dark gaze at him.

"I'm Kudo Shinichi, a high school detective and I work with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. So, if you don't shut it and remained on your seat, I can arrest you for disturbing the crime scene," he snarked before paying attention to the victim.

Female, around 30ish, cause of death? Shinichi checked the pulse at her wrist as he thought, eyeing the person crying next to her. "It's too late. She's gone," he said and closed her opened lifeless eyes with his gloved hand.

He glanced at Kaito, who stood next to him with a frown. He handed him a pair of extra gloves. "Wanna help?"

"Uh.. I don't know how much of a help a magician could give but sure," Kaito said, wearing the gloves professionally. "Could she be poisoned?" he asked curiously, leaning close to her, sniffing.

"She might be but from where?" Shinichi wondered out loud, looking around, eyes analysing. "Did she ate anything or drink anything?" he asked the lady sitting next to the victim.

"N-No. I don't think she did because she's not fond of airplane food but even if she did, I was asleep so I didn't know," she said.

Shinichi sighed, looking at Kaito who was watching the victim's bag with a hard look. "I don't think we can do much until the plane lands, Kaito."

"Is she an alcoholic? I can smell wine from her mouth mixed with something else." Kaito said suddenly and the lady was startled. "Y-Yeah, she is. Ever since Nanako broke her engagement with her ex-fiancé, she became alcoholic," she explained with sad eyes.

"Is that so.. The death was quite quick and I saw her grabbed her throat before she died-" Kaito straightened up with a swift glance at Shinichi.

Understanding, Shinichi opened Nanako's bag and saw a bar of chocolate inside it. It looks like Nanako ate it with her fingers and didn't bite into it. Smelling it, he couldn't smell anything different.
