With the crisis at Osaka and in Nara slowly being placed back under control, we are now going to shift back to the airship where O's and Ankh are going to lash out at the Red Siamese Cats, but a surprise twist will be shown towards the end of this chapter…which will put our heroes' push to a halt…
Before the policemen are about to make off with the Buddhapuras being loaded inside a police van, 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.

With the fake policemen in custody, Heiji sent a text message to Ankh informing him that Osaka is now safe and that the rest of the investigation is under way, and now he joins the Osaka Police to interrogate the fakers and get information out from them. As of now he still has no idea what is happening at the airship where the final battle is about to go underway.
"Thanks for the assist, Heiji…"
"That's nothing…"
"Now all we need to do is get information out of them…"
"Yeah…and hopefully get to know more about our terrorist in the Red Siamese Cats…"
"I wonder why they sent their goons here to steal the Buddhapuras…?"
"That I wonder…"
"Well…let's go…your dad's going to be there to lead the interrogation.."
"Right. I'm going to be there as well…Shinichi will be needing to hear what we're about to hear…"
"Right."
"Let's go, then…!"
-x-
Back at the airship, O's took on some oncoming terrorists and intentionally drew their attention by causing a ruckus so that the Red Siamese Cats would come and fight him so that he can deal them all at once. It worked as almost everyone from the Red Siamese Cats came and opened fire, but to their surprises their bullets didn't dent his armored form, and this causes them to lose their composures.
BANG! BANG!
RA-TA-TA-TAT!
PA-KOW! PA-KOW!
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
"What the heck…?"
"My bullet just bounced off him!"
"What is he?"
"Who cares? Let's use the bombs and…"
"You crazy? We'll fall down!"
"Let's use our knives and pry him open!"
"Good! I should cause a scene to get every terrorists to come here and few will be left to guard Ran and the others…and if I'm lucky…the leader will join in the fray…"
"What is going on there?"
"Boss…that guy's snuck in and is wearing some kind of bullet-proof armor…"
"Just kill him!"
"Right!"
"Huh? What the…? Bullets bounced off him…? What is he?"
Hearing the commotion, the terrorist leader joins in on the hunt, but hesitated at seeing his armored intruder and is considering setting off the bomb but then something caught his attention at seeing Conan (Ankh, actually) standing at a corridor, and he is taken by surprise as he wondered how he survived the fall, as he had no idea that Conan (Ankh actually) was saved by Kaito and Kyuji. Ankh then runs off with the terrorist leader chasing him, leading them to a vacant room, where he is taken down when Ankh reveals his "monster hand" pinned him down while holding the ampoule that he took from the terrorist leader's pocket.
"How…?"
"Heh…looks like I'm the one's who is about to throw you out…"
"So you survived…"
"Now then…tell me what is your plan…and get your men to free the prisoners…or I shower you with this liquefied content you are holding…"
"…"
"Are you to scared to say something…?"
"…"
"What's with that silence?"
"…"
As Ankh threatens the terrorist by using the ampoule, O's arrived and saw him holding the ampoule and tries to talk him out of sparing him, but then the two slowly sensed that something is not right here given the terrorist leader's behavior, which further strengthens the suspicions of Shinichi's consciousness amid the situation within the airship.
"Ankh! What are you doing?"
"Doing what I do best!"
"Stop it! You'll spread the bacteria!"
"WILL YOU LET GO?"
"Ankh!"
"What about those goons you fought?"
"They're taken cared off…"
"Grr…fine…I'll take my Core medals back from you and…"
Ankh then opted to take the items from the suspect's pouch, but when he opened it, he is dismayed that both the Lady Sky and the Core Medals are fakes, and demanded an explanation from the terrorist leader, who is equally surprised that even he was fooled into thinking he got the items.
Seeing that things are going nowhere, Ankh knocks the terrorist leader out while contacting Ai, telling her that the airship is no longer under the Red Siamese Cats' controls, having taken out the group. He then ties up the terrorist leader and heads out to where the others are while O's secures the other unconscious terrorist members.
-x-
Meanwhile, after receiving Ankh's text message, Ai causes a ruckus and this enables the others overpower their guards and their captors (including the female terrorist who disguised as a waitress) and within minutes they regain control of the airship and there Ran saw Ankh (still in Conan's form) and the two meet up, and there she saw him heading for the smoking room and she advises the Greed to keep Conan's body away from there, fearing it might contract the infection.
"Ankh! Don't go in there! You'll infect Shinichi's body!"
"I won't…it was a hoax…"
"What?"
"You heard me! There's no infection! The ampoule's contents are just a fake!"
"What…what do you mean…"
"Grr…listen carefully…!"
Ankh then tells Ran that the bacteria infection is no more than a set-up and there, through Shinichi's coaching, explained to her that the rashes she caught was due to the smoking room being sprayed with "lacquer" which causes someone to catch with rashes once an object sprayed makes contact with the person's skin. After a few explanations, Ran is assured and they both head for the recovery room to inform Fujioka and the airship employee that they are not infected, but once they arrived, a surprising scene surprises them.
"Huh? What is this…?"
"Fujioka tied and gagged me before leaving the room…"
"Why would he…"
"Grr…I have a bad feeling about this…grr…not now…!"
Un-gagging her the employee tells them that Fujioka did this to her and left the recovery room, which Ran is baffled, and before the Greed could act, Shinichi's cellphone rang, and Ankh instinctively toggled with the bowtie so he would sound like Shinichi and then answers the cellphone. The next conversation would soon cause an unexpected twist of events that would once more shift the tide of the situation.
"What is it this time? I'm busy right now…"
"Don't be grumpy, Shinichi…I got disturbing news for you…"
"So do I…we got the terrorists nabbed here in the airship…along with their leader…though he doesn't seem to care when I pinned him…"
"That's the least of your worries…it's about the terrorist themselves…they're not really THEM…"
"What do you mean?"
"Here's what took place during the interrogation…"
Heiji called and unknowingly informs Ankh of what he and the Osaka Police have discovered about the fake policemen they captured, in which during the interrogation they learned that the men captured are just hired mercenaries and uses the Red Siamese Cats' tag name as a cover up to steal the Buddhapuras. Moreover, Heiji said that his dad, Heizo managed to convince the fakers what else they knew, and the fakers revealed that, according to them, they are hired to cause steal the Buddhapuras by someone, and said he is among those who boarded the airship.
"You can't…be kidding…"
"Sorry, but that's the truth…you've been had all this time…even those in Osaka…"
"So…why did they cause the fake threat all this time…?"
"To pull off what could have been a successful heist…and a very careful planning…"
"Whatever…get to the main point now!"
"Cool it, Shinichi…I'm about to get to the suspenseful part…"
"Just spill it out, already!"
"Hey…ease up!"
Shinichi's consciousness listens on at hearing this and mentally asks Ankh to ask Heiji who hired the mercenaries and who else is with him, sensing that someone is already here and has left the recovery room yet he wanted confirmation from Heiji, as he did not want to jump to conclusions and not assumptions, yet he couldn't help feel worried that he might have sneaked into the lobby and use the freed hostages as hostages, and realized that he may have the device to set off the bombs.
"Are you saying that the actual culprit is hiding among us?"
"That's right…"
"And he really pulled this caper off and knows about our every move?"
"Yup."
"Who is he, then?"
When asked about who hired the mercenaries, Heiji said the name is Fujioka. Without another word, Ankh cuts off the connection and tells Ran to inform the others that Fujioka is behind all of this as he leaves the recovery room to head for the room where the trap is placed, wondering if the Core Medals are still there, and despite Shinichi's prodding, the Greed proceeded, and arriving at the room, he finds Kaito there and the Phantom Thief Kid informs him that the REAL items are gone, with the traps being disabled and Ankh realizes what this means.
"Quick…tell the others!"
"About what?"
"Fujioka is the TRUE enemy! He is causing this scenario behind the scene!"
"You…can't be serious!"
"Do you want me to make a Yummy out of your desire or what? I said Fujioka is the culprit!"
"But…you couldn't make a Yummy as of yet…"
"I'LL EAT YOU UP IF YOU DON'T GET GOING…!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT AT ME! I'M STILL CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT HEIJI TOLD YOU…!"
"JUST GO AND TELL THE OTHERS ABOUT FUJIOKA! HE MIGHT HAVE THE BOMBS' REMOTE CONTROL AND MAY SET THEM OFF ANYTIME!"
"Okay…got it!"
Ankh leaves as he searches for Fujioka infuriated that he has taken the REAL Core medals with him and couldn't afford to let him get away, as this would ruin his chances of regaining his full Greed form and feared that the other Greed might show up and take them, which would also result in them regaining their "complete" forms as well.
To Be Continued…
A revelation, indeed…and now trouble is again being piled up now the actual villain is revealed to be behind this fiasco…and he has taken the Core Medals with him…
