378. The Mystery of the Warship
The Aegis-equipped destroyer is currently on patrol in the Sea of Japan. Visitors on deck for the open day are taking photos and exploring the ship. The sky is clear, and everything seems peaceful.
In a corner of the deck.
"Hattori, do you know anyone who can investigate the information of those female Self-Defense Force officers?" Conan asked. Hattori Heiji thought for a moment, "I do, but why do you want to investigate female Self-Defense Force officers? Is there something wrong with that Self-Defense Force officer who took a picture with us just now?"
Conan raised his arm; his watch had a satellite phone function, and he had just used the excuse of looking at photos to transfer one of the photos of the female Self-Defense Force officer to his watch.
"I'm just curious about something," Conan said vaguely, seemingly without a clear guess yet. Heiji Hattori gave him a phone number, which was that of Inspector Goro Otaki of the First Investigation Division of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. "If it's relatively basic information, Inspector Otaki should be able to find it, but if it's more in-depth, he doesn't have that authority."
Conan took off his watch and handed it to Heiji Hattori: "That's enough. We just need to find out which unit she belongs to. Women only make up 4% of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. Most of them are exposed as models for external propaganda. We should be able to find out soon."
After the call connected, Hattori Heiji succinctly explained the situation to Otaki Goro and asked him to investigate as soon as possible.
While Conan and his friends were using the satellite phone, the radar in the ship's CIC command center had already detected the satellite signal. Unaware that Conan was making the call, Captain Yukio Tateishi's expression was serious: "Investigate immediately."
"Captain, could this be X's doing something?" a crew member said nervously. Yukio Tateishi fell into deep thought. "X..."
Jiang Jin listened to the crew members explain some of the equipment on the warship as he followed Xiao Lan and Shirley. When they walked to the deck area where the radar was installed, Jiang Jin noticed that two crew members seemed to be investigating something in a corner of the deck behind the radar.
"Next, please follow me to the stern..." As the team leaving the radar area and crossing the corridor, Xiaolan suddenly whispered, "Um, I need to go to the restroom."
Shirley turned her head and asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"
Xiaolan shook her head, waving her hand as she walked back: "No need, I'll be right back."
Jiang Jin and the other man weren't too worried. After all, they were on a warship, and if they really didn't know the way, they could ask the crew members on board.
“Then we’ll wait for you at the stern,” Jiang Jin said.
However, the two of them underestimated Xiaolan's terrible sense of direction. She got lost very quickly after coming out of the restroom, and to make matters worse, she didn't encounter a single person in the places she went.
"That's strange, going this way isn't right either?" Xiaolan muttered to herself as she walked, until she bumped into someone at a corner. "Xiaolan... Sister!"
Conan was just here to investigate when he unexpectedly ran into Ran: "What are you doing here?" He looked around but didn't see Du Yago or Ai Haibara.
"I was going to the restroom, but I think I got lost," Ran explained, then looked at Conan strangely, "Conan, what are you doing here all alone? Are you lost too?"
Conan twitched his lips, thinking to himself, "He really isn't. Ran is terrible with directions, how come Duya and the others let her wander around alone?"
However, there's no one here now, so this is a good opportunity...
"Actually, I..." Conan was about to say something when Ran interrupted him, "It's okay, I'll take you back. Since this way isn't right, going the other way shouldn't be a problem."
After saying that, Ran grabbed Conan's arm and dragged him away without saying a word. Conan, with his small arms and legs, could only be dragged along by Ran.
But clearly, Xiaolan had gone the wrong way. The two of them didn't know where they were, but when they heard voices ahead, Xiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least she could ask for directions.
"It seems we've inhaled something extraordinary; we need to report this immediately!"
When Ran and Conan reached the door of a certain cabin, they heard such a sentence. The two looked inside and saw something covered with a cloth on the table in the cabin.
However, the cloth wasn't completely covering the hand, and the two could see a hand sticking out, with a watch on the wrist and the clothing appearing to be that of a Self-Defense Force officer.
"Is that an arm?" Conan's voice caught the attention of two crew members in the cabin. One of them immediately covered the arm with a cloth. "Tourists aren't allowed in here, you two."
Xiao Lan immediately said, "I'm sorry, we got lost."
The other person and his companion exchanged a glance, then said, "Then I'll take you back."
Meanwhile, Jiang Jin and Shirley waited for ten minutes at the stern of the ship, but Xiao Lan still hadn't returned.
"I'll go look for her, you wait here," Jiang Jin said to Shirley, then he walked in the direction Xiao Lan had left in. Halfway there, he saw Xiao Lan being brought back by a crew member.
After the crew left, Xiao Lan whispered to Jiang Jin, "Brother, it seems someone on the warship has died."
Jiang Jin's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at her sideways: "What's going on?"
Ran told Jiang Jin what happened when she got lost, and of course, she also told him about meeting Conan.
"So you ran into Conan," Sherry said, arms crossed. "Then it's not so strange that there were dead people on the ship."
Xiaolan asked, puzzled, "Huh? Why is that?"
Jiang Jin glanced at Shirley with amusement, then said to Xiao Lan, "It's nothing, it's just that wherever that brat goes, a murder occurs. Shirley feels like he's the Grim Reaper."
Conan immediately told Heiji Hattori about it and also called Kogoro Mouri, who hadn't boarded the ship. Heiji and Conan then found Captain Yukio Tateishi, and the two, on behalf of Kogoro Mouri, hoped to participate in the investigation.
After much deliberation, Yukio Tateishi agreed, but because he discovered that the water inlet and outlet filter had only sucked up an arm, he could not confirm the condition of the body or the identity of the deceased, which made Captain Tateishi somewhat anxious.
Conan then suggested that they continue to use exercises to have the ship's helicopters transport the remains back for autopsies.
So a helicopter takeoff exercise began on the deck at the stern of the ship. Jiang Jin looked up at the helicopter taking off. He had just seen a crew member carrying a box board the helicopter.
Since Xiaolan said she saw an arm, then this sudden addition of a helicopter exercise was probably just an excuse to avoid causing panic, right? The purpose was to send the discovered human remains back to the police station for an autopsy.
When Kogoro Mori arrived at Maizuru Bay Port, the dockworkers had just pulled up a body missing an arm. The body was wearing a first-class uniform of a Maritime Self-Defense Force officer.
During a naval exercise, an unidentified vessel was discovered; body parts were sucked into the sluice gates; and the body of a high-ranking Self-Defense Force officer was found in the port. All these events foreshadowed the gravity of the situation.
Soon, the helicopter that had flown away returned to the ship, bringing back a team of people. These included Inspector Megure and his team from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, as well as representatives from the Public Security Bureau: Yuya Kazami and Ichiro Kitano.
Despite the dark atmosphere among the high command of the Aegis ship, the tourists, unaware of these events, continued their activities. The ship then launched a treasure hunt, where collecting all the charms would allow them to exchange for prizes.
Jiang Jin was strolling around the boat, looking for the treasure map distributed during the event, when he unexpectedly spotted Bei Yeyi. His location was quite obvious, and Bei Yeyi noticed Jiang Jin when he turned his head.
"Kazemi, I'm going to the restroom for a bit, I'll be right back." Kitano Ichi said to Kazemi Yuya after seeing Jiang Jindu's figure. Kazemi Yuya didn't suspect anything, "Hurry up."
After the others entered the ship's cabin, Kitano Iku walked towards Jiang Jin, and the two found a secluded spot.
"What are you doing here?" Kitano asked curiously. Jiang Jin knew that Kitano was probably very busy today and hadn't even seen him live stream. "Xiao Lan won a ticket to the Aegis ship's open day, and since an adult had to accompany her, she dragged me here."
At this point, Jiang Jin asked, "So something quite serious happened on this warship. If it were just one person who died, it shouldn't have alarmed you, right?"
“I don’t know the specifics yet, but I heard that a Self-Defense Force officer’s body was found in Maizuru Bay. Also, there’s a high chance that a spy has infiltrated the warship. They’re probably still asking about other details.” Kitano Yi didn’t know much either. “But this isn’t entirely without clues. If I remember correctly, isn’t this movie 17? That spy X was on the ship, with a child with him.”
Jiang Jin narrowed his eyes: "With a child? I know who it is."
