That night, Chi Feichi took a plane to Osaka with Dr. Agasa, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Haibara Ai.
Less than an hour after checking into the hotel, Odagiri Toshiya's call came into Chi Feichi's mobile phone.
"Fei Chi, aren't you busy now?"
"I'm not busy. What's wrong?"
"Actually, my dad has something to do with you. He said that someone imitated one of H's works and committed a crime. The police want to get some information from H. He knows that H is you, but H's identity is something that both THK and you are keeping secret. That’s why he called me and asked me to discuss with you whether I can let you provide information to the police as H. In addition, you may need to go to the scene to take a look... How are you doing there? Is it convenient for you to cooperate with their investigation? ?”
"I have no problem here, but it is not good for too many people to know H's identity. If possible, I hope the police will not let too many people know H's identity."
"Yes, I also think that the fewer people who know, the better. This is why my dad called me. He hopes that we can let the police get the information they need, and try not to affect our business plans or personal lives. In short, he said that it is not convenient to disclose too much about this case to the outside world. It is up to you to communicate with him about the specific arrangements. I will call him back now and ask him to call you again..."
"Okay."
Two minutes after hanging up the phone, Toshiro Odagiri called again.
Chi Feichi answered the phone and pretended not to know that the police had something to do with him.
Odagiri Toshiro did not say the specific circumstances of the case. He only said that the Coast Guard wanted to ask Ike Feichi for help and needed Ike Feichi to go to the Wakasa Security Department.
At the same time, Odagiri Toshiro also bluntly stated the conditions that the police could provide - as long as Chi Feichi is willing to help, the Coast Guard is willing to keep Chi Feichi's secret, and no more than five people will know H's identity, and all insiders will be The identity is notified to Chi Feichi, and insiders can also guarantee that 'H's identity' will not be disclosed to the outside world.
"Five people..." Chi Feichi paused deliberately, "Is that case very troublesome?"
"No, actually there may not be five insiders. According to the results of my communication with them, only the head of the Wakasa Coast Guard Security Division and one or two people will know H's identity. The five people are just in case. , in fact, only two or three people should know. When they explain to the outside world, they will not say that you are H. They will say that they specially invited you to help investigate because they heard that you showed great ability when helping the Metropolitan Police solve cases. , As for the specific circumstances of the case..." Odagiri Toshiro hesitated, "It is indeed a bit complicated, so I'd better wait for the Coast Guard to tell you. I wonder when you will be free and can meet with the Coast Guard? "
"I am in Osaka, currently staying at the Mobius Hotel near Shinsaibashi, Osaka," Chi Feichi responded politely, "If they are not very anxious to ask me to go to the scene, I would like to participate in the new technology launch in Osaka tomorrow. For the opening ceremony of the conference, I will be available after 12 noon. If there is an emergency, they can contact me at any time."
"Then I will reply to them like this," Odagiri Toshiro said, "It is a good thing that you are in Osaka. The person who wants your help this time is the Wakasa Coast Guard. Osaka is not too far away from there. Whether you go there or It wasn't too much trouble for them to pick you up, but I'm really sorry that Fei Chi has to trouble you to help with the investigation."
"Don't be polite to me, and if I can help this time, it should be someone from the Coast Guard who says thank you or not."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. If you are free another day, you can bring your sister and Min Ye to play at home. Next, I will give your basic information and contact information to the person in charge of the incident. He should confirm the specific meeting time with you."
"No problem, I'll wait for them to contact you."
After the communication was over, Chi Feichi put down his phone, stood up and went to the window, reaching out to open the window with only a gap left.
"Gah!"
Two crows outside the window flew into the house.
A crow held a palm-sized box in its talons. After entering the house, it placed the box on Chi Feichi's outstretched hand, flew to the table with its companion, and lowered its head to drink from the water glass.
The other crow was another deliveryman on the "alternative transport" on the road. After entering the house, he also hurriedly flew to the table and ate the broken biscuits in the small plate.
Chi Feichi closed the window a little, took the box to the table, opened the box, took out the bottle with bright red blood inside, and mixed the blood into the whiskey that the hotel front desk had sent before, while his mind was always sorting out Plan of action for the next few days.
The Coast Guard they are talking about is affiliated to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, with its headquarters in Tokyo. It has 66 supervisory departments on the coasts of various places. It is a police force and is usually responsible for maritime patrols, harbor security, combating maritime criminal crimes, and maintaining maritime security. , smuggling prevention, maritime accident investigation, maritime intelligence collection and other tasks. It will also be responsible for tasks such as rescuing shipwrecks, managing maritime communications, and collecting maritime intelligence.
Although the Coast Guard is known as the "Second Navy" among the people, that is because the Coast Guard is Japan's second largest force active in the sea. When it is inconvenient for some navies to come forward, the Coast Guard will be dispatched. In essence, the Coast Guard and the Maritime Self-Defense Force are different. The Maritime Self-Defense Force is the formal military force.
Warships like the Aegis are naturally under the control of the Navy. In other words, it is not the Coast Guard that decides whether he can board the Aegis. It mainly depends on the attitude of the Maritime Self-Defense Force officers and the top commander on the Aegis.
Of course, the Public Security Committee said that he would be allowed to board the Aegis ship, so he would definitely be allowed to board the Aegis ship.
In fact, the Maritime Self-Defense Force has a high possibility of inviting him. The public security does not even need to arrange for him to go through the back door. It only needs to ask senior defense officials to express their importance to the public exercise.
For example, let the Ministry of Defense issue an internal announcement - "This public exercise will open the Aegis ship to the public for the first time. If an accident occurs, it will affect the public's trust in Japan's maritime affairs and the public's confidence in Japan's national defense security. Therefore, There is no room for error in this exercise and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong...'
If the top attaches great importance to it, the bottom will pay more attention to it.
Even if he went to the coast to see the lost equipment and said with certainty that the dangerous elements did not succeed in making the electromagnetic booster, the commander on the Aegis ship would still feel uneasy.
If nothing else goes wrong, the Maritime Self-Defense Force will take the initiative to invite him to board the Aegis ship, allowing him to stay on the Aegis ship on the day of the public exercise and pay attention to the situation along the coast and in the sea.
If he discovers that the Aegis ship may encounter a long-range attack from an electromagnetic booster weapon, he can immediately tell the top command on the Aegis ship so that the Maritime Self-Defense Force can respond in time.
As the public security committee member said, bringing one more person with him is not too much. His background can withstand investigation, and he may receive the invitation without the Zero Team doing anything.
However, in the next two days, he should undergo a 'special review'.
Warships in service are generally not open to the public. This public exercise is equivalent to the Maritime Self-Defense Force taking the initiative to open the door of this mysterious fortress, inviting others to come in to visit, and also taking out the large gems hidden in the room to display. This is a rare opportunity for the thief who has always wanted to steal the gem but has been unable to get in. The owner knows that the thief is likely to come and knows that the thief has many ways to steal the treasure, so he will definitely strengthen the candidates for the door. Review.
For ordinary people to apply to participate in this public exercise, the most basic conditions are their nationality, adults who have lived in the country for more than ten years, formal employment and the ability to issue tax certificates, and no criminal records. Applicants also need to go to the local government office. The purpose of confirmation is to prevent spies or criminals from getting into the Aegis ship.
He is different from ordinary people participating in public exercises.
If the Maritime Self-Defense Force wants him to help guard, they must reveal some inside information to him, and may need to allow him to go to some places that the public is not allowed to visit. In addition, during the exercise, his opinions may also influence the Aegis captain's decision.
Therefore, the scrutiny on him will be stricter than that of ordinary people.
For people in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, even if he is the child of the leader of a large group, it does not mean that he will not be a spy.
It was impossible for Team Zero or the National Police Agency to reveal his identity as a public security consultant, and he would not let Team Zero or the police tell others about his identity. This time, he had to pass the review himself.
He should try his best to help Team Zero collect intelligence on the personnel on the Aegis ship. It is best to contact everyone from top to bottom. Then, the higher his 'safety index' in the reviewer's report, the more likely the command on the Aegis ship will be. The more the person trusts him, the easier and smoother he will complete the task.
Therefore, what he needs to focus on next is not whether or how he can board the Aegis ship, but how he can gain a high enough level of trust in the review.
Including tomorrow, the Maritime Self-Defense Force only has two days to confirm whether he is reliable. Similarly, he only has two days to win more trust from the other party. For them, time is too tight.
…
The next morning, Chi Feichi attended the opening event of the press conference.
Although it is said to be a technology product launch conference, there are actually no particularly high-tech products. Except for a small number of electronic equipment and electrical appliances, there are more small items for children and family life.
On the first day, only some novel and old products will be displayed, and the next two days will be the release and display of new products.
Although Dr. Agasa’s new invention demonstration was scheduled for the last day, I still went to the venue with Chi Feichi and others. I laughed when the host of the opening event mentioned his own inventions such as railcar toys and hot spring dolls. Not from ear to ear.
The opening event lasted for an hour. During the subsequent free tour time in the venue, Chi Feichi accompanied Dr. A Li and the two girls around and introduced some unpopular and interesting inventions to the three of them.
After returning to the hotel for lunch, and while the group was resting in the hotel leisure area, someone from Wakasa Coast Guard contacted Chi Feichi.
"Yes...are you here? I am in the A3 leisure area on the first floor, which is at the end of the corridor on the right side of the hall..."
Chi Feichi listened to the call on his mobile phone, stood up from the sofa, turned around and saw a sturdy middle-aged man walking to the corridor while making a phone call. After the other party waved to him, he confirmed aloud, "Yes, I I saw you."
