A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

At Maizuru Bay Port, a huge warship is docked, and a long line of visitors are undergoing security checks before boarding.

Jiang Jin, his beloved knife confiscated, followed dejectedly behind Xiao Lan and Shirley. The crew members led the visitors onto the warship's deck in batches.

Although the odds of winning tickets for the open day were low, Jiang Jin and his two companions found that there were quite a few people on the deck after they went up. However, compared to the deck, which was as spacious as a football field, these tourists were nothing.

"Zhibao, the scenery over there is beautiful!" Xiaolan said, shoving her phone into Jiang Jin's hand. "Brother, come and take pictures for us!"

Jiang Jin, holding his phone, lazily replied, "I know."

Because Momiji and her group were VIPs, Conan and his friends entered the warship before the other ordinary citizens. By the time the regular tourists boarded the deck, they had already entered the warship's lounge.

Through the porthole, one could see the vast ocean stretching into the distance, and of course, the situation on the deck was also clearly visible. So when Conan glanced over unintentionally, he saw Ran taking pictures by the ship's side.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see it very clearly yet, but it looked very similar. So he immediately used his glasses to magnify the image, which allowed him to see Xiaolan's face clearly.

It really was Ran! Conan was overjoyed, but at the same time he wondered who was taking pictures of her... Conan shifted his gaze in the direction opposite Ran.

Conan recognized the person taking Ran's picture as Ai Haibara, thanks to her short, brown hair and half-profile photo. Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He glanced at the time; there were still five minutes until the warship departed for the exercise. Conan jumped up from his seat, and Sonoko, holding a cake, said, "Hey, where are you going?"

"I'll be right back!" Conan didn't give a clear answer. Heiji Hattori seemed to be thinking, put down the cake, stood up, and said, "I'll go and see."

On the deck, Jiang Jin returned with three bottles of cold drinks, just as Xiao Lan and the other person finished taking photos.

Conan arrived on the deck just in time to witness this scene. Upon seeing Jiang Jin, he abruptly stopped. It would have been fine if only Ran and Ai Haibara were there, but he hadn't expected Du Yago to participate in this kind of event as well.

He's probably just here for a visit, right?

Hattori Heiji followed Conan and noticed him staring in a certain direction. He followed Conan's gaze and naturally noticed Jiang Jin and his two companions by the ship's railing not far away.

"Isn't that Xiaolan? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go over there!"

Conan shook his head: "It's not the right time yet, let's go back first."

Hattori Heiji asked, puzzled, "What are you waiting for?"

“The organization’s people are here too. If we go over now and that guy notices us, wouldn’t we be alerting him?” Conan said, pointing at Jiang Jin. Hattori Heiji looked in the direction Conan was pointing. “That’s… the guy from the Shinkansen before!”

When Hattori Heiji saw Jiang Jin, he immediately understood Conan's concerns, and in his opinion, Conan should indeed be more careful.

Just then, the ship's loudspeaker announced that the ship was leaving port and the exercise was about to begin. Conan and Hattori Heiji exchanged a glance and returned to their cabin together.

The warship roared loudly, and white waves surged on both sides of its hull. Jiang Jin and his two companions followed the flow of people into the first deck of the ship. There was a huge screen that could broadcast the exercise performance in real time, as well as benches and long tables with manuals on them.

As for Conan and the others in the VIP room, they were fortunate enough to enter the upper control area, where they could see the situation in the control room through a layer of special glass.

After the tourists were seated, the officer in naval uniform on the screen spoke: "Thank you all for coming today to participate in the Maritime Self-Defense Force's public exercise. I am Inoue, who has been guiding you all on the tour today. I appreciate your guidance."

First, let me explain the details of this public exercise. Please look at the screen directly in front of you. The areas marked in red on the map are places you can freely enter and visit. Please cooperate and do not wander into any other passageways or rooms by mistake…”

Jiang Jin rested his chin on one hand and flipped through the inserts in the manual with the other. There were also structural diagrams of warships on them. He glanced at them and memorized all the important positions on the warship.

The same thing happened in the control area on the third floor. The officers there were explaining the contents of the manual when suddenly the entire ship emitted a huge, strange noise.

"Don't worry, everyone. Please stay calm. That sound was made by the drainage system sucking in a large amount of seawater." After hearing this from the officer, most people calmed down.

But Conan sensed something was off and whispered to Hattori Heiji, "Hey, Hattori. Is it normal for the drainage system to make that kind of sound?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head: "I don't know much about this either, but since the officer said it's normal, I don't think there should be any problem, right?"

The warships sailed across the sea, heading towards the designated area for the exercise according to the predetermined course.

"Prepare for air combat exercise. All personnel to their positions!" With the captain's order, all crew members on the warship began to move about in an orderly manner. "Air combat is about to begin. All personnel must take their positions as soon as possible."

On the large screen on the first floor of the ship's cabin where Jiang Jin and his two companions were located, a realistic exercise scene was displayed, and they could also hear commands and introductions from the control room. Meanwhile, the third-floor command and control area where Conan and his friends were located contained the core secrets of the Aegis ship. Here, they could see more detailed control panels and data.

All the shipboard weapons of the Aegis-equipped ship are controlled by the CIC system. As a series of commands are issued, the ship's radar system can be seen working on the big screen. Then, images of simulated torpedo targets being hit and exploding by missiles appear on the sea surface at different locations.

However, none of this really bothered Jiang Jin, since he had seen many larger and more advanced exercises before.

Just when everyone thought the exercise was over, the detector suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Sonar detection detected unidentified target... Target A initiated detection, approaching our ship..."

The unusual alarm finally piqued Jiang Jin's interest. Everyone else around him thought the exercise wasn't over yet, but Jiang Jin's intuition told him that this must be an emergency.

When Conan, Heiji Hattori, and Iori Muga in the three-level command area saw that the expressions on the crew members' faces were completely different from those during the previous exercises, they keenly sensed the different atmosphere.

As increasingly urgent and complex commands were issued over the same frequency broadcast, the situation became even more critical.

"Why does it suddenly feel so tense? This should be a drill, right?" Xiaolan said, looking at the interceptor missiles and signal flares being launched on the screen. Shirley, who was next to her, also noticed something was wrong and whispered, "This doesn't feel like acting."

Jiang Jin glanced at the expression on the front crew member's face; he was no longer as relaxed as before: "This is probably no longer an exercise. Don't forget we spotted a suspicious vessel in Maizuru Bay this morning. This exercise is finally getting a bit more interesting."
