This... is a major accident.
The complexity of the incident exceeded the imagination of the detectives, just as they were pondering and digesting this information.
the other side.
In order to find out the situation as quickly as possible, X, who was leaving the multimedia conference room with the crowd, took the risk to approach a self-defense officer in the passage and expressed his fear and concern to him.
However, when asked by an ordinary passenger, the self-defense officer still gave the reply: "It was a small accident and we just need to wait patiently to recover later."
whispering sound……
X glanced at his watch.
3:50 p.m.
In the restaurant before, neither he nor Courage had a drink, so they had vague guesses as to why most of the passengers had food poisoning, but...who poisoned them?
But no matter how hard he tried, he still had no clue.
It sounds dramatic, but the facts are reasonable. When X was checking the scope of the suspects based on the known clues, he did not doubt for a second whether the person who did such a thing might be his senior spy. 'Yukio Tateishi.
X was thinking endlessly in his mind and walked to the deck with Courage.
Bright sunlight expands horizons.
The sea breeze blew in my face, adding a bit of coolness.
X subconsciously looked at the blue sky and sea, and then looked around the bow deck.
Like other areas, many passengers have gathered here due to the previous chaos.
"Come here."
He called for courage in a low voice.
He led it to a shaded area on the north side.
"Stay here honestly. If someone finds out, just say that you came here randomly. Do you hear me?"
"I..." Courage is a little timid.
Allergic skin inflammation is not only related to diet, but also related to mood. He feels itchy now, but the two tablets of medicine for treating urticaria were lost in the previous chaos.
X's face looked particularly gloomy due to anger, and he scolded:
"What? You're disobedient again! How many times do I have to say it before you remember it. If you still want to see your father, don't show such an expression again."
Dad was kidnapped by the man in front of him, and no one would come to save him... The cruelty of reality forced him to lower his head with courage, and tears kept rolling in his eyes:
"I...I know..."
"snort."
X glanced at him coldly, then decisively turned around and left.
…
Conan rushed back to the multimedia conference room against the crowd.
After the conflict, the top brass of the Aegis ship issued an order to allow evacuation.
At this time, several high-power flashlights were set up indoors where the power system had not been restored.
Conan's eyes swept over the self-defense officers who were inducing vomiting on the passengers, but he did not see Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and the three children from the Junior Detective Corps in the crowd.
Have you gone out yet...
Conan took a few steps inside worriedly and quickly checked under the table and chairs.
He didn't notice it, but he saw two boards of familiar medicine.
This is……
Conan picked things up.
By chance, a self-defense officer passed by and asked, "What is this, kid?"
"Uh, it's... it's my medicine. I accidentally dropped it on the ground just now." Conan quickly put the things in his pocket and turned around and ran away without waiting for further confirmation.
The spare flashlight aboard the Aegis ship wasn't enough to illuminate the entire passage.
Outside the conference room, the noise remained unchanged, and the environment fell into darkness again.
As Conan walked through here, he could hear that many passengers who failed to induce vomiting were taken to the bathroom for more violent measures.
Just when he was about to go to the bathroom to find someone, a figure passed him by.
Huh?
That person just now was... Courage's father?
"..."
Conan stopped and turned around to look. Although he could not see clearly due to the environment, the detective's inherent intuition still allowed him to make a similar judgment.
Why go inside at this time? Did he get separated from Courage again?
Conan's mind flashed to the scene that took place in the multimedia conference room.
At that time, Mao Lilan had not called him yet.
While sitting at his seat, Conan saw Courage's father serving Courage a meal. The two of them changed their previous disobedience and looked happy.
Hmm... let's find Xiaolan and the others first, and then return the medicine of courage to them.
…
X didn't expect that his acting skills had successfully deceived a certain detective boy, and now he rushed towards the captain's room with a clear goal.
Whatever the cause of the mayhem.
The accident has already happened. As a spy, he can't wait to get this part of the data instead of finding out the truth.
…
At this time, on the deck at the stern of the ship.
Yukio Tateishi was the first to break the oppressive silence: "Fujii Kazusa, I should have the right to know what Sasaura did, right?"
Regarding the suspicious ship mentioned by Masaaki Kurata, Yukio Tateishi also heard more detailed information this morning from Nanami Fujii, who contacted him.
Spy
That's right...it's 'trying'.
A yet-to-be-determined plan is being carried out.
What's the result now?
After the information was further disclosed, even myself became the part that was not trusted.
He didn't want to be brought to court as a confused captain who didn't know anything.
"..."
This time, Fujii Nanami was silent.
It was one thing for the information to be guessed, but if she told it herself, it would involve another issue.
Do you need to contact the Ministry of Defense? She reached into her pocket.
Report again!
Captain Sekiguchi saw this scene, and the anger he had suppressed since the incident finally caused the veins on his forehead to bulge uncontrollably.
He refused the assistance of the public security and refused to reveal the truth to the captain, which resulted in such a serious accident on the Aegis ship.
...It’s great to have a background, so you can communicate with big leaders in a timely manner, but you can’t have to take the blame for every reporting result!
You are the commander of this operation, don’t you have no responsibility at all?
The more Sekiguchi Haiwei thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said angrily:
"At the Maritime Self-Defense Force Wakasa Base, there has been a leak of Aegis ship data before!"
Fujii Nanami froze while holding the satellite phone, and shouted sharply: "Stop it, Lieutenant Sekiguchi!"
Captain Sekiguchi paused for a moment, took a deep breath, looked directly at his 'non-stick pan' leader, and finished the last key part in a cold and steady tone:
"...The entire incident, including the interrogation of Captain Sasaura in the base yesterday, was a task specifically assigned to me by Fujii Kazusa!"
