"That's it...if It's not surprising," Yukio Tateishi expressed his understanding and added, "Anyway, there will be people here who will continue to keep an eye on me. As long as they find someone doing something unusual, they will tell me in time. You can also come here at any time to watch the surveillance."
"Thank you, Captain," Fujii Nanami looked at the conference room on the surveillance screen, "Mouri Kogoro..."
"That's right, the famous detective Kogoro Mori also got the invitation code and was qualified to board the ship. He also brought two high school girls and four children with him," Yukio Tateishi looked at Mori on the surveillance camera. Kogoro and his group turned to Chi Feichi and said, "By the way, that famous detective seems to be Mr. Chi's teacher..."
"Yes, he is my teacher," Chi Feichi looked at Maori and his group who were joking on the surveillance camera, and briefly introduced them, "The female high school student with long hair is his daughter, and the female high school student with short hair is her daughter. Among the four children, the boy with glasses lives in his house temporarily, and the other three children are classmates of that boy, and they are all people I know."
"I see..." Fujii Nanami hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly to Chi Feichi, "Maybe you want to say hello to Mr. Mori and the others, but I stick to my previous plan and hope you can follow me."
"No, you are wrong," Chi Feichi said without thinking, "I don't want to say hello."
Yukio Tateishi paid attention: "?"
Could it be that the famous detective Kogoro Mouri has a bad relationship with his apprentice?
"Why, why?" Nanami Fujii, who was a little more familiar with Chi Fei, asked directly in surprise, "Isn't the master-disciple relationship between you and the famous Maori detective not good?"
"We have a very good relationship between master and apprentice," Chi Feichi looked back at the surveillance camera, "but when they invited me to fill in the application materials for boarding the ship, I said that I wanted to participate in a technology product launch conference, so I rejected them. Now I go there I have to say hello and explain to them why I boarded the ship. If I’m not careful, I might get entangled by children and be unable to leave.”
Fujii Nanami laughed, "It seems that you have a very good relationship with those children..."
"They are also my sister's classmates."
Chi Feichi wanted to remind the two of them not to underestimate naughty children, especially a certain boy with glasses, but when he thought that the reminder would be accompanied by an explanation, he suddenly became too lazy to say it.
After all, they are just children. He warned them in advance, and the two of them probably wouldn't take it too seriously. It would be better for them to experience it in person, and he could watch and have fun.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Aegis ship officially set sail.
The Aegis ship's navigator, Third Class Aegis Saigami Fumitada, was responsible for receiving the people who boarded the ship. When he arrived at the conference room, he expressed his welcome and thanks to the people who boarded the ship, and introduced the arrangements for today's activities and the precautions for activities on the Aegis ship.
After the introduction, Inoue Fuminada arranged the next step of activities, leading the boarding people to the Aegis ship's combat center to demonstrate anti-air combat exercises.
The Combat Information Center is abbreviated as CIC. It is a confidential place and is not a public surveillance area. There is no way to see the situation of the Combat Information Center in the bridge navigation monitoring area.
Yukio Tateishi did not stay in the monitoring area all the time. He returned to the bridge navigation command office early to pay attention to the overall situation.
When the anti-air combat exercise was coming to an end, a rapid siren suddenly sounded on the bridge.
At the same time, the voice of the commander from the war situation center also came out.
"This is CIC, α target detected! Bearing 5 degrees, distance 8000..."
Yukio Tateishi's expression changed, "A target α was actually detected?"
Fujii Nanami had a heavy look on her face and cast a communicating look at Yukio Tateishi, "Captain."
Alpha targets are targets that are large enough, can move forward independently, and may pose a threat to the safety of the Aegis ship.
They had been preparing for the enemy to use weapons such as sea drifting bombs to disrupt the exercise. Did they really encounter this?
Yukio Tateishi calmed down, picked up the walkie-talkie on the communication equipment, and gave instructions in a slow and clear voice, "This is Captain Tateishi, all radars have begun to search for enemies, I will go to CIC!"
Nanami Fujii waited for Yukio Tateishi to put the walkie-talkie back and said, "I'll go take a look with the captain."
Yukio Tateishi nodded, and while turning around and walking out, he gave new instructions to other people at the command office, "I will go to CIC, starting immediately, and the bridge will be commanded by the deputy captain!"
Chi Fei didn't wait for Fujii Nanami to invite him, and took the initiative to follow him.
He knows about espionage incidents, has been in and out of the secret areas of the Aegis ship, and already knows many things that still need to be kept secret.
Including Fujii Nanami's true position, that is something that even the deputy captain does not know, but he already knows.
No matter what impression Nanami Fujii and Yukio Tateishi have of him, what he knows is related to military secrets, and both of them will be cautious.
He is not a spy who wants to steal secrets. It is better not to do anything suspicious at this time, so that everyone can worry less.
…
On the way to the war situation center, Fujii Nanami also thought that Chi Feichi would meet an acquaintance and discussed new plans with Chi Feichi.
"Mr. Chi will see Mr. Maori soon. Can he take the opportunity to contact them, sneak into the people boarding the ship, and observe if there are any suspicious people inside at close range?"
"I think everyone will be interested in me as a person who doesn't board the ship with other people, doesn't wear a military uniform, but can hang out with the Self-Defense Officers. Not only Teacher Mori and the children will ask endless questions, but other people will also pay special attention to me. , if I were to blend in among the people, it would probably not bring any help to the investigation, X would be wary of me, and I would lose a lot of energy to other people and other things."
"That's right..."
"I even think that I shouldn't meet Teacher Maori and the others so early."
"But……"
"How about using this?" Seeing Nanami Fujii's hesitation, Yukio Tateishi took out two small walkie-talkies, handed one to Chi Feichi and the other to Nanami Fujii, "Fujii Kazusa and I entered the CIC, Mr. Chi doesn't need to Follow up and stay in the corridor outside. You can use these two small walkie-talkies to keep in touch. This will prevent Mr. Chi from being noticed by Mr. Maori and others. As long as you keep communicating at all times, you can ensure that you know where the other person is and what he is doing. , Fujii Kazusa doesn’t have to worry about Mr. Chi telling others the secret, Mr. Chi can also hear the situation of CIC, and if Mr. Chi spots any suspicious person in the corridor or thinks of something key, he can inform Fujii Kazisa in time.”
Fujii Nanami thought the proposal was good, and Chi Feichi had no reason to refuse. The two debugged the communication channel of the walkie-talkie and set up encrypted calls to ensure that only the two walkie-talkies in their hands could access the communication channel.
After confirming that the intercom communication was in good condition, Chi Feichi separated from Fujii Nanami and Tateishi Yukio in the corridor and hid in a side road.
The atmosphere in the war center was solemn, with people constantly reporting on the situation and giving orders.
"Alpha target, bearing 50 degrees, distance 7500!"
"Understood! Be prepared for the possibility of the target temporarily shifting gears!"
"Prevent the target from launching an attack!"
"The possibility of living things and natural objects is zero!"
"Identification Friend or Foe signal is not responding!"
"It is a diving object that does not belong to friendly forces!"
"Start Nixie, the ship will stop at its current position!"
The people boarding the ship stood at the entrance of the CIC and were not allowed to enter and look around. They thought this was part of the exercise and were not worried. They were just infected by the heavy atmosphere. Most of them breathed lightly while staring intently.
Mouri Kogoro exclaimed excitedly, "This scene has become real!"
Mao Lilan couldn't help but agree, "Yes, I feel so courageous!"
Inoue Fuminada, who led the team, knew that this was not part of the drill. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at the people who were talking quietly and did not tell the truth.
Conan discovered that the Aegis ship had really stopped, and realized that something might be wrong, but did not participate in the discussion.
"Prepare the glowing flare! The flare is launched..."
"It will be displayed on the third screen soon!"
The screen showed a picture of a luminous flare taking off, and the three children, Gentai, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko, clapped excitedly.
"It's so cool!"
"Bravo!"
Behind the child, other people who didn't know the truth also applauded, completely treating this as a wonderful exercise.
"It must be true that it looks like this, right?" Suzuki Sonoko teased.
Mao Lilan also regarded all this as an act and replied with a smile, "How is it possible..."
"Everyone is ready to fight the submarine!"
Yukio Tateishi walked through the door from behind the boarding crowd and shouted sternly to Fumita Inoue, "Red alert!"
Inoue Fumizhong looked solemn and said, "Yes, sir!"
Yukio Tateishi stepped forward quickly, "Requesting immediate data confirmation! Report to the bridge immediately!"
Fujii Nanami followed Yukio Tateishi, picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "The α target is constantly approaching...it may make an emergency evasion and turn to navigation...Stand still and pay attention to safety!"
"Okay."
In the fork in the corridor outside, Chi Feichi leaned against the wall and responded on the walkie-talkie.
The next second, the Aegis ship turned urgently, and you could feel unsteady shaking under your feet.
The people who boarded the ship felt that all this was too real, and they began to feel uneasy.
Nanami Fujii stood behind Yukio Tateishi, turned to look at the people who were talking about each other with panic expressions on their faces, took a breath, and asked in a low voice through the intercom, "Did you see anyone suspicious outside? "
"No, don't worry, I will continue to watch."
Chi Feichi stayed in the corridor, listening to someone shouting to launch anti-submarine torpedoes, and someone shouting that the navigation direction should turn 20 degrees to the left. Suddenly, he felt a little regretful that he could not go to the deck to see the "Big Fish".
"The anti-submarine flash torpedo has been launched..." Fujii Nanami's voice came from the intercom. "Then the sea water pushed by the explosion impact will hit the ship, and the ship will shake even more. Find a place against the wall and stand stable……"
"I'm right next to the wall."
Then, the ship shook again, more violently than before.
Chi Feichi was reminded by Fujii Nanami and kept standing against the wall without being affected.
The voice on the other side of the intercom was not as high-pitched as before, and the rustling was a little unclear. After a while, Fujii Nanami said softly, "The alert has been lifted. It is not a submarine, but an abandoned ship. The radar detection ship is not carrying Explosives, now the ship is about to return to the public exercise route, and the sailing has stabilized. It should take the public to visit the bow deck and let them have a tour. I want to go over and take a look."
"Meet up first." Chi Feichi replied softly.
