Suspense gets fortified after the bacteria threat has taken Osaka by storm and Heiji Hattori has his hands full in how to address the situation while Kaito Kuroba, O's and Ankh are racing back towards the airship where they would soon discover something strange about the turn of events…and what would lead them to something they deemed as a "deception"…
At the airship, while the prisoners are locked at the smoking room, the Red Siamese Cats are pleased with their handiwork now that Osaka is thrown into a panic after the e-mail message about the "deadly bacteria" is coming their way and the terrorists inside the airship can move freely as they wish, with no one to stop them from making their successful escape.
"Heh…looks like we're going to make things easy…and we'll be enjoying a lot from the caper we pulled off…we got the millionaire in this ship…we got the jewels and those colored medals we can sell at the black market…not to mention scaring those fools out of their wits at Osaka…I wish I was there to see their scared faces…I really want to look forward to that…"
"Too bad we can't…we got our hands full here…"
"That's right boys…at least we're on the safer side here…no one knows that we hijacked this ship…and even if those authorities find out…they wouldn't dare attack us knowing we got hostages here…"
"What about the prisoners?"
"When we got what we wanted…we can use them as hostages…we extort money from them…or we waste them all except we take his niece hostage so we can coerce that old geek to take us to his house and grab all of his money…then we shoot them after we got them…at least we can make a clean getaway…and we'll be millionaires by the end of the day…"
"Sounds like a good idea, boss…"
"Hey, boss…look…something is coming behind the ship…"
"Huh?"
"Birds?"
"Should we…?"
"No need…don't waste bullets on animals…we'll only use one if they try to smash their way in…which is unlikely…"
"Okay…"
However, one of the terrorists spotted something and saw what appeared to be a swarm of birds, and even though the henchmen wanted to shoot them away, the terrorist leader felt that they don't pose a threat and believed that they are just migratory birds passing by, as he doesn't want his men to waste bullets on them and instructed them to follow the route as they planned.
"Should we…?"
"No need…don't waste bullets on animals…we'll only use one if they try to smash their way in…which is unlikely…"
"Okay…"
"We go straight to Osaka as planned…"
"You got it…"
What the terrorists didn't know that the birds are actually Taka Candroids as they distract the terrorists and have them focus on seeing what is at front, and this enabled the trio to arrive behind the airship via the makeshift bridge that the Tako Candroids made.

While the Taka Candroids are flying like normal birds and their antics causes the terrorists' views to be slightly obscure, it successfully prevented them from seeing what is behind them as O's Ankh and Kaito arrived and got onboard from the rear portion of the airship, as the trio are getting ready to find a spot to sneak back in, Kaito noticed something and called for the two to check something out, and within a minute Shinichi's consciousness kicks in as he sensed that something is not right here.
"Hey, you guys…"
"Eh?"
"Not now!"
"Listen…"
"You got on board the ship again…so that's that! Go do what you want!"
"Ankh, that's not a nice thing to say after he saved you…"
"Look carefully…there's smoke coming out…"
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
"Hmm…something's not right here…Ankh…can you get closer?"
"Not now…!"
"Please…?"
The trio then glances at the airship's "exhaust pipe" where it is emitting smoke which seem to be a bit out of place as the airship doesn't emit carbon monoxide, but as the next few seconds passed, Shinichi's consciousness slowly made some deduction and spoke to Ankh mentally about his suspicions, much to the Greed's chagrin, sensing another "lecture" that he wanted to ignore. Unfortunately, Shinichi isn't letting this opportunity pass him by.
"Ankh…I'll be needing your help again…"
"What is it this time?"
"I want you to go inside and help me scan the ship…I have a bad feeling that the entire situation is a set-up…"
"Like I care!"
"At least we can end this scenario with less obstacles and you can get your Core Medals…"
"Grr…fine…just this once…!"
"Good…tell the others to do their thing when they get inside…"
"Grr…fine…"
"Oh…use my bowtie…contact Heiji…and here's what you're going to do…"
As O's and Kaito glances at Ankh, seeing that he is "arguing" with Shinichi, Ankh is almost irritated yet in the end he is persuaded to "play detective" for a little longer as he tells O's and Ankh to split up and find a way to sneak in, instructing them to disable the terrorists on sight before the Greed himself moves ahead, but then toggles the bowtie and is following Shinichi's mental instructions as he contacts Heiji to inform him of the discovery.
After a brief conversation, Ankh went inside the airship with O's and Kaito going in at separate areas and the trio are now inside, though Kaito went to parts unknown while O's started to slowly knocks out some terrorists stealthily and hid them somewhere so as not to alert the other terrorists.

Elsewhere inside the airship, Ankh, still in "Conan" form, was forced to knock a few passing terrorists out using his "monster right hand" and hid them away and navigated within the lobby area while staying out of sight from the enemies' eyes, which is due to Shinichi's consciousness serving as Ankh's "eyes" so that he can alert the Greed if an enemy is approaching. As he hid behind a corner, he saw a terrorist escorting Ran, and noticed that something which he relayed to Ankh.
"Ankh…look carefully…"
"What's there to look about…?"
"Look at Ran…"
"What about her…?"
"Look at her arms…"
Ankh glances at Ran and there he noticed that her arms have rashes and there Shinichi tells the Greed that the bacteria can only be spread through droplets and not physical contact (which Ankh read through voice messages via his hidden cellphone that Ai secretly sent earlier and Shinichi read it through Ankh). Moreover, both Ankh and Shinichi saw the terrorist escort have black fingernails, and again recalling earlier about Genta mentioning that he passed by the smoking room earlier and not getting infected, the comatose detective's consciousness had realized the true nature of the "infection", in which he requests Ankh to send a message to Heiji that the "bacteria threat" is nothing more than a hoax.
"Send a text message to Heiji using the cellphone…please, it's urgent…!"
"I'm not your messenger!"
"Please…you're the only one I can count on…"
"I can't believe I'm doing this for you…!"
"I know…but this is the only way to stop them…and if they get away…you'll lose your medals…"
"Fine, fine…now shut up so I can get on with this!"
"Thanks!"
"Shut up, already!"
After doing what Shinichi asked him to, Ankh decided to send a pair of Taka Candroids to follow the gunman who is escorting Ran, as he saw another pair of terrorists passing by, and decided to distract them as he detaches himself from Conan's body and started to "molest" one of them, which resulted in him accusing his partner of "fondling" him.
"Hey! Stop touching my butt!"
"Huh? It wasn't me!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…"
Ankh's right forearm then "molests" the other terrorist and accuses his comrade of the same accusation which he denied.
"Now you're touching my crotch!"
"Now I'm the one doing that?"
"Did you?"
"Hell, no!"
With both men's backs turned, Ankh then poke the goon's butts, and then poke the other goon's "balls", and this is enough to provoke an argument and the two began shoving and hurling accusations, and within minutes, they started to brawl against one another , much to the Greed's delight in seeing two humans fighting each other due to their "stupidity", even though it was Ankh who started it.
"Alright…are you gay? You're making advances on me! Now you're touching my "balls"!"
"I did not!"
"You lying asshole!"
"Who are you calling "lying asshole"?"
"You are! What next? Touch my "birdie"? You really are gay!"
"Who are you calling a "gay"? Are you looking for a fight?"
"I'll deck you!"
"Bring it on, you greenhorn!"
"I'll kill you!"
As the two men began beating each other out, Ankh flew towards them and grabbed one of them by their hair and slammed him against the wall, knocking him out. As the other terrorist got up, Ankh did the same and knocks him out, and after reattaching onto Conan's body, he slowly hid them at a nearby closet and locked it before heading to where Ran is being taken.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Osaka, where the prefecture became a "ghost town" as the streets are devoid of people after fleeing the place after the e-mail spread like wildfire, as they feared of getting infected and dying, and nearly everyone took the hoax well, and soon the scene shifts to Hofuki-Ji, where it shows that a few policemen are coming out from a temple, carrying priceless Buddharupas and are getting ready to load them onto a parked police van. By then, Heiji shows up and confronted the policemen, seeing that something odd is going on, with policemen carrying priceless artifacts instead of helping ease the panic at the city.
"Okay…load them in…"
"This is easy…"
"Good thing that no one's here…even the priest is scared to stay and pray…"
"What do we do if we got in to a roadblock?"
"They won't…"
"Who would want to stop a police van?"
By then, Heiji shows up and confronted them, seeing that this is a very odd scene and the policemen appeared to be calm and collected.
"So…what are you policemen doing here at a temple loading Buddhapuras inside a van when you're supposed to help ease the tension at the streets…and why are you here when the place is literally a ghost town…no one here to check on…I find it strange. What are you intending to do, officers? I expect an honest answer from you guys…"
"Ah, we're safeguarding the statues…we believe there are looters here…and they might take advantage of sneaking these artifacts out…"
"That's right…"
"We're safeguarding them…"
"Don't you worry…we'll return them here once the crisis ends…"
"We'll see to it that robbers won't get their hands on these…"
"You have our word…"
"…as members of the law."
But Heiji didn't bite the alibi and stated otherwise, telling them that he got word that the Red Siamese Cats uses the bacteria threat as a hoax so that the city would be empty of panicking residents and tourists, leaving the establishment empty with no protection, and there the looters would take advantage, and there he points at the policemen that THEY are the fake ones, dressing as fake cops so they can smuggle the Buddhapuras out of Osaka.
Seeing that their covers are blown, the policemen then revealed themselves as members of the Red Siamese Cats and are about to draw their guns when the lights shone at them, where it is shown that the police from Nara prefecture, along with members of the Osaka Police District, are there inside their cars, and then came out and aimed their guns them the fakers, surrounding them.
"DROP YOUR WEAPONS! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!"
The terrorist members are taken by surprise, and left with no choice, they surrendered and the Buddhapuras are safe and brought back inside the temple, while Heiji informs his dad via radio about the situation and there he is told that he will inform the citizens about the fake threats of bacteria epidemic.
To Be Continued…
Looks like one problem is solved…thanks to a bickering team-up of Shinichi Kudo and Ankh…along with some help from Heiji Hattori…
Preview:
The remaining chapters will now focus on the airship as a melee breaks out, resulting in O's and Ankh fight off the Red Siamese Cats, but a shocking revelation is exposed, which would shift the tide to either party.
