Time goes back slightly, about ten minutes ago.
Just when Conan was about to return to the restaurant after talking to Mao Lilan on the pretext of going to the bathroom, he accidentally heard two self-defense officers talking to Miwako Sato in the passage.
From what I heard, it seemed that Memu Shisan had discovered something on the deck.
There's a clue!
It was as if the light of dawn directly aroused Conan's curiosity, and he followed him without any hesitation.
At this time, most passengers were eating in the restaurant.
Conan was not discovered by anyone along the way.
Reached the deck without incident.
He tilted his head and looked outside, and saw Kogoro Mori, Juzo Megure, Yukio Tateishi and several self-defense officers in uniform surrounding the hatch of the missile launcher.
Is that...a mobile phone?
Conan moved closer again.
Miwako Sato knew that Megure Thirteen was an 'idiot' with electronic products, so she took the initiative to take the phone and first checked her inbox and call history.
It was found that the time of the last call coincided with the presumed time of death from the autopsy.
Mouri Kogoro analyzed: "In other words, Captain Sasaura was still on this Aegis ship before this, but he was not discovered..."
"I will investigate." Yukio Tateishi said calmly.
It was okay for a sea captain who was not scheduled to appear on the Aegis ship, but no one witnessed him until his death. It was really a major work mistake.
Embarrassed and sent to the Metropolitan Police.
"By the way, what was the cause of his death?" Mouri Kogoro asked without knowing.
"It was drowning." Mumu Shisan said.
Hearing this, Masaaki Kurata of the Security Division continued: "Does this mean that Captain Sasaura fell into the sea from the Aegis ship and died at about 5:30 this morning?"
"Well... Judging from the clues, we should be able to infer this." Mumu Shisan nodded.
"profound!"
Mouri Kogoro screamed strangely, with an "I understand" expression on his face, and said: "Captain Sasaura had a dispute with someone here at 5:30 this morning, and the phone was dropped here at that time. After that, Captain Sasaura tried to escape, but was forced to the guardrail and pushed directly into the sea, and the man was still hiding on the ship. The evidence is that a passenger was attacked not long ago!"
The clues were connected together smoothly, and apart from the unclear motive, there was no logical problem at all.
"In this case, it can definitely be a murder case." Mumu Shisan believed it.
Captain Yukio Tateishi's expression became particularly bad.
so……
Now that is to say, on the Aegis ship he manages, in addition to Captain Sasaura who ran up without following the rules and regulations, there is also a murderer who also sneaked up around 5:30...
And the identity of the murderer is probably a self-defense officer? !
"Police Department, the memory card of this mobile phone has been taken away."
Here, Miwako Sato, who was checking the internal files of the mobile phone, immediately reported the discovery.
"It seems that the murderer of Captain Sasaura was targeting the memory card of the mobile phone!" Mouri Kogoro took the initiative to fill in the reasoning clues.
Conan huddled in the corner, looking at the phone with burning eyes.
He didn't really trust the observation skills of this group of people, and at the same time, out of curiosity, he wanted to borrow his phone and check it carefully.
Do whatever you want.
He was just about to run out and make some jokes like this, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the female self-defense officer hiding in the opposite corner of the cabin just as sneakily as he was.
The two sides looked at each other, and Fujii Nanami also saw Conan.
To be honest, she already had a psychological shadow on this group of people. At this time, she was afraid that the other party would scream, so she didn't dare to stay and turned around and left the deck in a hurry.
This behavior, which is equivalent to writing "I have a problem" on your face, is fatally attractive to a certain detective boy.
Immediately, Conan didn't care about whether Mouri Kogoro and the others missed the clues on the phone, and followed them hurriedly.
Fujii Nanami was indeed misled by the cell phone and the detective's reasoning.
When she learned that Captain Sasaura appeared on the Aegis ship around 5:30, she made the same judgment as Yukio Tateishi.
Sasaura's accomplice, that 'X', is most likely another self-defense officer!
Unknown level, unknown authority...
The losses caused by ordinary sailors are nothing more than intelligence leakage, and there is still room for recovery and redress. But assuming 'X' is the operator of a certain device in the CIC, then this Aegis ship is really It's dangerous!
Interfered by all kinds of vague information, Nanami Fujii thought more and more that her guess was true.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she had no choice but to go to the captain's room to check the operation log of CIC. She could also check the picture that she had taken from Sasaura's mobile phone. the contents of the memory card removed from it.
Of course, in Conan's eyes, this series of actions can no longer be described as 'suspicious'.
…
The screen jumps back to the passage outside the restaurant.
After hearing that the naughty big-headed kid who ran into the kitchen and made a fuss was Edogawa Conan who was staying at his house, Mouri Kogoro rolled up his sleeves and went to the multimedia conference room to bring the kid over.
Tsk...maybe this is the consequence of knowing the clues but not being willing to share them.
Ye Geng thought boredly.
I really don’t blame him for always scheming against that kid. It’s really because Conan’s habit of deliberately concealing any clues for the sake of the final highlights can be called a bad habit.
For example, when he said he smelled almonds before, if the detective boy had some knowledge of his elementary school student's appearance and shared this information, instead of running to the kitchen to investigate alone, it would not be so easy for him to successfully put it in the drink. poison.
Well...it doesn't matter anymore. This series of headless events is enough to focus their attention on finding the mole.
If Bourbon is a member of the Self-Defense Forces, no matter how calm his personality is, he should show up when problems that are difficult to deal with arise one after another like this.
Ye Gengyi was still thinking about how to implement the next step if the situation still failed to meet expectations.
Suddenly, the intercom in Yukio Tateishi's pocket rang:
"Captain, this is CIC. We have detected satellite signals in the captain's cabin. Are you the one making the call?"
What? ! The captain's room... there is very important data there!
Damn it!
Yukio Tateishi's face changed drastically, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "It's not me! Send someone over now, we must catch that guy!"
