We are just two chapters away from ending this arc, and a lot of twists have been unraveled now that Ankh (through Shinichi Kudo's consciousness) realized who is the REAL enemy is, and this puts everyone inside the airship in danger. It's up to him and Ran to find the true villain before he has the chance to blow up the bomb.

Moreover, He has yet to find the red Core Medals if he wishes to regain his full Greed form, but where will that leave Shinichi…?

Without wasting any time, 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…"

RING!

"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 some 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 and threatened to use his bacteria on him…"

"That's the reason why I called you right now…and the terrorist leader is the least of your worries…about the other terrorists...well… 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 steal the Buddhapuras by someone, and said the one who hired them is among those who boarded the airship..

90: Hikōsen, koa no Medaru, Haijakkā part 13

Ankh is listens on at what Heiji just said, and Shinichi's consciousness is in disbelief that there is someone among the passengers being the actual culprit and prods Ankh to ask Heiji for more information on the true culprit's identity. He felt that he knows the culprit identity but wanted to be sure as he couldn't just assume anything and let the conversation take its course.

"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 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.

Ran and the untied airship employee leaves the infirmary and enters the lobby room where the others are assembled, having secured the terrorists and are now ready to find the nearest airport in Osaka as they intend to land the airship and hand over the Red Siamese Cats, and there she told everyone the true nature of the incident and situation, which Kogoro, Ginzo and Jirokichi are stunned at the revelation, yet they are at ease as they now need to find Fijuoka and secure him as well, and all their problems are solved.

"Dad…everyone…thank goodness you're okay!"

"Ran!"

"Hey! Wait…what if you're infected…"

"It's alright! There is no infection!"

"Eh?"

"Everything is a sham! And Fujioka is the real suspect! The Red Siamese Cats are just hired goons!"

"Really?"

"Yes…and all we need now is find him while we land at the nearest airport and…"

However, Nishitani and Ishimoto suddenly grabbed Sonoko and Ayumi, drew their guns and pointed them at the hostages' heads, threatening to kill them if anyone resists, putting everyone at bay. As the surprised passengers are surprised by this, the duo revealed that they are with Fujioka all along, and are now taking over the airship, while forcing Agasa and Ai to tie up his fellow passengers or else they'll shoot Sonoko and Ayumi. Agasa realized why Nishitani blurted out the Detective Boys being in the attic earlier and mentally blamed himself for not noticing this.

"Okay…stay put…nice and easy…"

"You two…"

"That's right…we're with Fujioka…and we're taking over…"

"You two…"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Hey, old fat man…and you little girl…tie the others up…or else…"

"Do it now…"

"Blast!"

"Damn it…so that's why…why those two fools blabbed on the kids' location at the airship's attic earlier…why didn't I notice this earlier?"

With all the hostages secured, Nishitani and Ishimoto bragged at how good their Acting were and are threatening to blow up the airship once they and Fujioka gets out, while the Red Siamese Cats questioned on why are they being abandoned, which Nishitani cruelly stated that they are no longer needed, and that Fujioka has already took the Lady Sky and the medals, hence they have no need and use for the Red Siamese Cats. Hearing this, Jirokichi went into a fit, blaming the two for ruining his chances of capturing the Phantom Thief Kid.

"Now that we're done…we'll blow this place up…"

"And with the boss already secured the Lady Sky and the medals…we won't be staying long…"

"Wait…what about us?"

"Sorry…you Red Siamese Cats are no longer needed…"

"BLAST YOU…YOU RUINED MY CHANCES OF CAPTURING THE PHANTOM THEIF KID!"

Jirokichi's fit of rage is enough to evoke the Yummy eggs to stir and finally the Yummies have awakened, which the roe of eggs hatched and a school of Yummy fishes emerged, revealing them to be an army of Tobiuo Yummies. The Tobiou Yummies then crashes out of the door of Jirokichi's office and are making their way towards the lobby, threatening to take out anything in their way while searching for the Core Medals.

-x-

Elsewhere, Ankh passed by the room where the items used to bait Kaito, and found that the items are gone and moments later he could sense his Core Medals' aura and heads toward the roof of the airship, where he finds Fujioka standing there, holding the Lady Sky, and the small bag where the REAL Core Medals are hidden. There Ankh confronted Fujioka, where he willingly allowed Shinichi's consciousness to take over and do the talking.

"So…you took the items…"

"Yes…and I'm surprised you survived the fall from earlier…how did you managed to survive since you have no parachute?"

"How about telling me why go through all of this?"

"Very well…I'll tell you why…"

Ankh (through Shinichi's voice) asked Fujioka why going all the trouble of doing this, and Fujioka braggingly explained the reason, in which he and his cohorts targeted the statues because they won't be detected by modern technology, such as x-ray machines, since stolen money is easily tracked, and there they can pull off the heist, while informing Ankh that Nishitani and Ishimoto are his accomplices and have by now secured the passengers of the airship.

"What? Nishitani and Ishimoto?"

"Yes…they're with me and we've been planning this from the beginning…"

"If you hurt the others…"

"You don't need to worry…"

"Why is that?"

"Because…"

"Huh?"

"I'll kill you right here and now…"

Alarmed at hearing this, Ankh took control of the body just as Fujioka took out his gun and starts to shoot, firing bullets as he intends to kill Ankh, but the Greed summoned his "monster hand" and uses it to deflect the bullets, much to the villain's surprise seeing the "monster hand" appearing out of nothing, while seeing the bullets dropping to the floor after being deflected.

"What the…?"

"You fool…"

"How…where did that glove came from?"

"Stay down and out!"

Ankh then detaches himself from Conan's body and flew towards Fujioka, punching him straight to his face before re-attaching to Conan's body, and is pleased at how he took control of the situation, and now he is about to get to the bag where the Core Medals are, intending to pick up the red Core Medals so he can use its power to regain his full Greed body but Shinichi's consciousness tried to prod Ankh in to checking out Ran and the others, and an argument ensued.

"Ankh…you can get your medals later..go and check on the others…"

"Shut up!"

"There's no need to rush in getting your body back…"

"Keep out of this! I won't miss the chance to regain my body!"

"You can do that later…"

"Mind your own business!"

"I'm begging you…"

"Will you stop pestering me?"

As the two are engaged in a "word war", several Tobiou Yummies came out and are going after Ankh, which the Greed is forced into defending himself and managed to repulse most of them but as more Yummies emerged from the airship, Ankh is outnumbered until several Tako and Taka Candroids showed up and saves Ankh, as the mecha assists in dealing with the school of Yummies. Kaito Kuroba then shows up to assist.

"Hello."

"Grr…you."

"Need help?"

"Do what you want!"

"Is that how you thank me for helping a Greed like you?"

"Stop teasing me!"

As Kaito and Ankh deal with the Yummies, they destroyed a majority of them and Ankh took the opportunity to absorb the Cell medals they dropped, while Kaito took as much as he could, placing them inside a sack and after taking more than enough, he disappeared from the scene just as Ankh finished off the last of the Tobiou Yummies.

To Be Continued…

Lots of action and a turn of events…

Ankh got the Core Medals…but will he be able to regain his true form?

And the Yummies...in case who don't understand Japanese, "tobiou" means "flying fish", and those are the Yummies for this arc. That's right, it makes sense since the situation is located inside the airship, and that why Mezeru used Jirokichi as a host assuming that O's can't reach them by air knowing that O's can't fly.

Preview:

The conclusion to this arc…and see what would happen when Ankh gets his red Core Medals and absorbs them…
