The sky was clear, and seagulls soared above Maizuru Bay. The sea breeze carried the salty smell of the sea to Maizuru Port. Long queues formed at the pier; today was the open day for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis Fleet.
The queue at the port was mostly made up of young people and parents with children. Everyone who was lucky enough to win a ticket for the open day was able to board the Aegis ship for a tour today.
Xiaolan wore a light blue sundress with a loose white shirt over it, looking like a special drink called "Blue Aegean Sea" from a dessert shop—captivating, beautiful, and full of vitality.
Her companion, Shirley, wore a pale yellow shirt with the ends tied together, the ribbons fluttering in the sea breeze. Beneath her light blue denim shorts were a pair of long, straight legs. She was like a refreshing sea salt and lime drink, cool yet captivating.
The two beautiful girls were like a scenic view in the group, complementing the azure harbor perfectly. Behind the two girls stood Jiang Jin, tall and with long legs.
Her silver hair was blown about by the sea breeze, and she wore photochromic glasses on her nose. Her silver-gray short-sleeved shirt seemed to be made of silk, and when the wind blew, the fabric clung to her skin, revealing glimpses of her muscular physique.
Jiang Jin's long legs were encased in black trousers. He raised his hand to pull down his sunglasses and looked around. "I say, why the sudden urge to visit some kind of fleet open day? This kind of thing that you can only look at but not touch is so boring. And, Xiao Lan, are you interested in warships?"
"It's alright. But mainly because I won tickets to the Zeus Aegis Fleet's open day! I heard the odds of winning are only three percent! Since I won, of course I had to come and see." Xiaolan said, taking the lottery ticket out of her bag. Jiang Jin turned to look at Shirley, "Could it be that Shirley, you're a warship enthusiast now?"
Sherry raised her hand and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "Xiao Lan invited me, so of course I couldn't refuse. Besides, although I'm not a warship enthusiast, it's nice to come and see the sea once in a while."
"Then why did you have to drag me along?" Jiang Jin had no interest in visiting Japanese warships, but he would be willing to bomb them if it were up to him.
Ran pointed to the special note on the lottery ticket: "Originally, I only planned to come with Shiho, but it said that an adult must accompany me. The only adult I can bring is you, brother."
However, I did have a backup plan. If you, brother, refuse to come, I can ask Mr. Furuya.
Hearing this, Shirley crossed her arms and said, "Then you should have just chosen the backup option. After all, Bourbon seems more like a reliable adult than someone else."
Jiang Jin suddenly took off his sunglasses, his dark red eyes widening as he said with great dissatisfaction, "How am I unreliable!"
Sherry crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "She has a face that can lie, and sometimes she does childish and inexplicable things. No matter how you look at it, she's not as reliable as Bourbon."
"Tch! Just watch, today I'll definitely become the most reliable adult behind you all!" Jiang Jin suddenly raised his sunglasses above his head and shouted, attracting the attention of the people queuing on both sides to look at Jiang Jin and his two companions.
It's so exciting, but I don't know what's exciting about it.
Xiao Lan looked around awkwardly, then tugged at Jiang Jin: "Brother, what are you doing!"
Shirley: See, I told you so.
At the very front of the line, seven or eight acquaintances of Jiang Jin had gathered. Because of the Ooka family, Momiji was able to obtain tickets for the Zeus Aegis Open Day.
She then invited Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama, and coincidentally, Conan and Kogoro Mouri came to Kyoto to help capture Kid at the invitation of Shiro Suzuki.
Heiji Hattori called Conan to invite him to visit the park, and they also came along because they could get tickets there.
However, Kogoro Mouri preferred to stay at the hotel and watch polo, so he didn't come along. Fortunately, no matter where they went, Muga Iori was always there to protect Momiji Ooka. So it didn't matter whether Kogoro Mouri was there or not.
[Following this, the next news item states that the Japan Coast Guard previously discovered suspected explosives and parts from a foreign vessel inside a suspicious vessel in Maizuru Bay...]
"Are you watching the news? If it's Maizuru Bay, isn't that here?" Hattori Heiji bent down to look at the news on Conan's phone. Conan nodded. "They said they discovered a suspicious vessel from another country."
Kazuha turned around and saw Conan and Heiji Hattori whispering to each other. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey you two, why are you always whispering together? Aren't you listening to Mr. Iori's introduction? That's so rude."
The two immediately separated and listened attentively to Iori Muga's brief introduction of the Zeus Aegis warship.
"The so-called Aegis warships are actually ships equipped with the Aegis system weapons developed by the US Navy." Even in summer, Iori Muya was still dressed in a proper butler's uniform.
Hongye said with a smile, "Only a small portion of these tickets are allocated to conglomerates like ours, and a small portion is distributed to the general public in the form of lottery tickets. Heiji, the moment I got the ticket, I immediately thought of you."
Hattori Heiji awkwardly thanked her, while Kazuha was a little jealous but couldn't say anything else, since it was indeed Momiji who had invited them to visit.
Finally, the Zeus Aegis ship was open for business, and passengers lined up for security checks.
Sherry walked beside Jiang Jin and quipped in a low voice, "I saw on the news this morning that a suspicious vessel was spotted near Wuhe Bay early in the morning. Judging from this, security checks will be even stricter. I wonder if some dangerous individual is carrying any contraband?"
Jiang Jin twitched his lips. He had almost forgotten that Shirley hadn't mentioned it. Although he wasn't carrying a gun this time, he still had his butterfly knife.
"Passengers, your handbags will need to be opened for inspection. Items such as cell phones, lighters, and knives are not allowed on the warship and will be kept safe for you." The loudspeaker in the security checkpoint kept repeating this message.
Jiang Jin scratched his head, feeling unsafe without any weapons.
Xiao Lan and Shirley naturally didn't have any contraband on them. When it was Jiang Jin's turn, he stood on the platform, and the crew member in charge of security checks on the warship still managed to pull the butterfly knife out of him.
"Sir, this item cannot be taken upstairs. We will keep it safe for you." Although the crew member was smiling, there was already a hint of wariness in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin pointed at the knife and said, "This is actually fake."
The crew member maintained a polite smile: "That won't do, sir. If you insist on taking it, then we'll have to ask you to go to the Japan Coast Guard."
"Then there's no need for that." Jiang Jin glanced regretfully and reluctantly at the knife that had been taken away.
Sherry and Xiaolan were waiting for him ahead. When Jiang Jin arrived, Sherry said, "It's good that you only had a knife on you. Otherwise, if you had really been taken away, I'm afraid I would have had to ask Gin to bail you out."
