"This is not good..." Nanami Fujii paused, without any further hesitation in her tone. She shook her head firmly and said, "No, it's too dangerous for my little brother to be used as bait. We have other ways to catch X, no. It is necessary to put children’s lives at risk!”
Chi Feichi didn't want to dwell on this issue, "That's right."
Conan didn't think Chi Feichi would really use him as a bait, and said, "When we met bad guys before, Brother Chi was stabbed in the shoulder by the bad guys with a knife in order to protect us, wasn't he? I don't believe you would Think of me as bait!"
Chi Feichi: "..."
If the famous detective continues to be so cute, he will have to seriously consider how to make a 'death schoolboy bait'.
In the past, he was stabbed by a murderer with a knife to protect the little devils in Yijiaoyan. That was because the three children Yuantai, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were only seven or eight years old and lacked the ability to deal with danger. Although Xiao Ai has a good mind, But at the critical moment, it is difficult for that child's body to stop the criminals... Conan is fully armed with anesthesia needles, footballs, stretchable belts, and foot-strengthening shoes. He has no problem dealing with one or two gangsters, but can it be the same?
In this plot, Conan has a satellite phone hidden on his body, a USB flash drive hidden in his watch, and those offensive and defensive props. The equipment on his body is more than one level higher than that of Spy X. Even if he is used as a bait, he is still the same. One person can take out X's bait.
Conan didn't know that Chi Feichi had already evaluated the success rate of the 'primary schoolboy bait' in his mind. Seeing that Chi Feichi remained silent, he thought he had exposed Chi Feichi's bluffing remarks and made Chi Feichi embarrassed to answer. Getting down to business, "Speaking of which, what did Brother Chi talk to Courage and the others at that time?"
"I just asked them why they didn't stay on the deck for a while and why Courage seemed so lethargic. The man said Courage was seasick. He took Courage back to the conference room to take a rest. Then I gave Courage a mint candy and a lemon candy. I applied some peppermint oil to him," Chi Feichi said. "What concerns me is that I asked the man if Courage was allergic to peppermint, but he couldn't tell. He said that Courage was taken care of by his mother most of the time..."
"Even if the mother takes better care of her, the child's allergies are not a trivial matter. As a father, he should know about it, right?" Conan frowned and thought, "That man looks like a gentle and patient father. He shouldn't Ignore this problem."
"Later, Courage told me that he would be allergic to milk. His mother never allowed him to drink milk. At that time, he looked at me with a strange look." Chi Feichi recalled that Courage looked at his eyes at that time, "I wonder if you have any I saw a photo that won an international photography award. The child in the photo was so hungry and emaciated. His eyes looked at the camera with longing and expectation. Courage’s eyes at that time were very similar to that one, which made me feel that his situation might not be good. Great."
Conan's heart was heavy, and his expression became serious, "Children usually don't have that kind of reaction when they say they are allergic to milk. Even if they want to express that they drink milk, but are always stopped by their mothers, they shouldn't just The expectant and longing eyes should be a little bit complaining. If not, Courage might have wanted to ask for help..."
"But Courage quickly said that my mother said that Dad was busy at work and asked him to listen to his words. The man also said that he brought Courage here this time because he wanted to accompany Courage well," Chi Feichi said, "Looking at how they get along, it seems It’s also like a father and son who have a good relationship.”
Conan nodded to express his understanding and said seriously, "Because during the combat drill, that man was not with Courage, and Courage was very worried on the deck. I also suspected that there was something wrong with the father and son, but when we went to the restaurant to eat later, I I have observed that they get along very harmoniously, and I also think that maybe I am overthinking... If he is Spy , with him by his side, I’m afraid Courage won’t dare to tell the truth, we must find an opportunity to meet Courage alone!”
"This is what I want you to help with," Chi Feichi said. "Even if you didn't provide the information that the man was not in CIC during the combat exercise, I still want you to help confirm whether there is anything wrong with the father and son... "
Fujii Nanami then remembered that Chi Feichi had indeed said that he wanted Conan to help, and looked at Chi Feichi in surprise.
Could it be that what Mr. Chi wants this child to do is...
"You are a child, and it will be easier for you to get in touch with courage." Chi Feichi lowered his eyes to meet Conan's gaze, and whispered a plan that Conan and Fujii Nanami had also thought of, "Separate their father and son, and communicate with Courage." Here, leave that man to me, and I will divert that man's attention. After you lure Courage away, meet up with Fujii Kazusa and have a good talk with Courage to see if he is threatened."
Conan nodded seriously and reminded, "It may take about ten minutes to bring Courage to a place where he can feel at ease and let Courage explain the situation clearly. That man is very concerned about Courage's position. If you want to hold him back, I'm afraid it won't work." too easy……"
"No, it's not difficult to hold him back," Chi Feichi said calmly, "I will consider using physical delaying methods if necessary."
"Physical delay method?" Fujii Nanami wondered.
"Knock him out or imprison him," Chi Feichi said.
Conan: "..."
He just knew...
"If everything is a misunderstanding, we can explain and apologize," Nanami Fujii thought about the feasibility, "But if he is X, your situation will be more dangerous. Maybe I can be responsible for this part of the task..."
"The boarding inspection is very strict. It is unlikely that he has a gun on him. At most, he has a knife." Chi Feichi did not want to let the prey go. "In terms of close combat, I may have an advantage over you."
After Conan thought about it, he also felt that Chi Feichi might be more reliable than Nanami Fujii, and said to the hesitant Nanami Fujii, "Let Brother Chi go, he is a very good fighter!"
…
Five minutes later, the three people arrived at the surveillance area.
Nanami Fujii called up the monitoring of the branch road near CIC from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
The surveillance camera could capture the entire forked road, and also captured Chi Feichi's figure at the fork in the road, with his back against the wall. During this period, whether Chi Feichi used a walkie-talkie to communicate with Fujii Nanami, or whether he was leaning against the wall when the ship was rocking, all the images were taken. It's completely natural, no problems whatsoever.
After the inspection, Fujii Nanami once again apologized to Chi Feichi for his suspicions, and then asked about the movements of captain Yukio Tateishi.
After learning that Yukio Tateishi was meeting with people from the Metropolitan Police Department and Coast Guard to discuss the death of Captain Sasaura, Nanami Fujii decided not to discuss it with the captain and take action first.
"After the captain finishes the meeting, please tell the captain that I will conduct a search nearby." Nanami Fujii did not say that she had a suspected target in order not to leak the news and alert Regarding the theft of computer data, he explained calmly, "I will explain the specific situation to him when he is done with his work."
"Yes! I will tell the captain!" The team leader in the monitoring area nodded seriously.
Chi Feichi watched the surveillance from the side and found the most recent surveillance footage of Courage and his son. Following that, he found the surveillance footage of Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and the three children.
Conan knelt on the chair next to him, supporting the console with both hands, and watched from the side.
In the surveillance footage, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko took their three children to participate in an indoor treasure hunt, together with most of the people boarding the ship, and there was nothing unusual around them.
"How's it going?" Nanami Fujii walked to the two of them and looked up at the surveillance screen. "Conan has been gone for so long. Are his companions looking for him in a hurry?"
"It seems not yet. Conan is too curious. He often follows Teacher Maori and the police officers to inquire about the case. They may think that Conan is at Teacher Maori's place and they haven't started looking for anyone yet." Chi Feichi cut the surveillance screen to the back of the activity room. , can see the actions of Mao Lilan and his party more clearly, "But Xiaolan is a little worried, you can ask them to contact the self-defense officer patrolling nearby, ask them to go to the activity room, and say that there is a kid named Conan on the bridge. If they get lost nearby, there will be self-defense officers who will take Conan back and tell them not to worry, so they won't be in a hurry to look for Conan everywhere."
"Then I'll contact the patrol officers in that area, and you can confirm the location of the suspected target." After Fujii Nanami finished speaking, she turned to contact the patrol team.
Chi Feichi stopped looking at the surveillance in the activity room and continued to search for the figures of Courage and his son in the numerous surveillance images.
Conan was concentrating on helping to find someone, and accidentally saw the figure of Courage. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at the corresponding surveillance screen and said, "Brother Chi, here!"
Chi Feichi called up all the nearby surveillance cameras and began to track and predict the activities of the father and son. "It seems that he wants to take the courage to go to the deck."
"Maybe he wanted to avoid Courage contacting others as much as possible. When there were many people on the deck, he took Courage indoors to rest. Now many people are participating in indoor treasure hunts in the activity room, so he took Courage to the deck again..." Conan Staring at the surveillance camera, when he saw the figures of Courage and his son on the fourth surveillance screen, he felt certain in his heart and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "As expected, I plan to go to the deck. Although the deck is relatively open and it is not as easy to get close to them as indoors, there are also suitable places on the deck. Where children play hide-and-seek, I can quietly take away the courage when the time comes!"
After Nanami Fujii contacted the patrol team, the three immediately set off for the deck.
For safety reasons, Fujii Nanami used a walkie-talkie to contact the bridge command office when he was about to arrive on the deck, and asked the bridge command office to arrange manpower on the deck and in the hidden passages near the deck.
Most of the people were engaged in an indoor treasure hunt. There were not many people on the deck, but there were a dozen or so people scattered throughout the deck.
Courage and his son stayed by the cannon launch pad.
The man leaned against the cannon launch pad and looked down at the public area map that came with the tour guide in his hand.
Courage was lying next to him, looking down at the base of the cannon launcher in a distracted manner.
Conan put on his life jacket and went to the deck. He walked lightly and quickly ran to the other side of the cannon launch pad.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Feichi also arrived in front of the man. When the man noticed and looked at him, he took the initiative to say hello, "We meet again."
"Yeah..." The man didn't know what Chi Feichi was doing again, so he was wary. He subconsciously looked at Courage beside him, and said politely to Chi Feichi, "Thank you for the peppermint oil you just used for Courage." , he is much better now, I took him to the deck to have a look."
