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

The Aegis-equipped warship 'Harvest' is still sailing in the Maizuru Bay area of ​​the Sea of ​​Japan. The ship has already reached a conclusion regarding the broken arm that was previously stuck in the flood control net.

The arm belonged to Lieutenant Commander Sasaura of the Japan Coast Guard, who died between 4:00 and 6:00 this morning. According to the autopsy, Lieutenant Commander Sasaura drowned.

According to passengers on board, the strange noises from the sump drainage system likely occurred when Lieutenant Commander Sasaura's arm was severed by the filter screen. This suggests that the deceased was already near the ship when the Aegis destroyer left Maizuru Bay.

Furthermore, since Sasauura was also a member of the Aegis ship crew, it is highly likely that he had an argument with someone on the Aegis ship and was then pushed into the sea by the murderer and drowned.

Later, when the Aegis ship set sail, the water injection system sucked the body up again, and then the arm was severed during the voyage, causing the body to drift to Wakasa Bay Port.

However, Conan and Heiji Hattori remained skeptical of this deduction, because the captain stated that Lieutenant Sasauura was not scheduled for this voyage, so why did he board the ship?

Hattori Heiji, who was originally going to find Self-Defense Force Officer Fujii Nanami to check on the passenger's lost cell phone, found that Ms. Fujii was behaving strangely.

She went up to the top deck alone, where the Aegis ship's captain's office was located. Hattori Heiji cautiously followed behind, and it seemed that Kudo's suspicions were indeed correct; this Self-Defense Force officer was indeed very suspicious.

Conan, who had been following the police, received a call from Inspector Ōtaki, who told him that the female Self-Defense Force officer they were investigating could not be traced to any unit.

"Can't find the affiliated unit?" Conan glanced at the police officers who were discussing the case. "Inspector Ōtaki, what kind of situation would result in not being able to find the affiliated unit?"

Inspector Ōtaki replied in a very serious tone, "Perhaps the other party has a very high level of secrecy, or... her identity is simply fake."

Fake? Could it be the X that the captain mentioned who infiltrated? Conan initially guessed, but then thought that the other party might have another identity.

Conan decided to find Hattori Heiji first, otherwise, if the female Self-Defense Force officer really was X, Hattori would be in danger. After leaving a button-shaped listening device on Takagi, Conan rushed off to find Hattori Heiji.

As he ran around the corner, he almost bumped into someone. Conan looked closely and recognized him as the child who had been separated from the CIC command center and left unattended on the deck.

"I...I'm sorry." Yuuki apologized and was about to leave when Conan called out to him, "Wait! I've seen you alone several times before. Don't you have any adults with you?"

Courage pursed his lips, looking unwilling to answer. Conan had long found the father and son to be strange. He wanted to ask more, but Courage turned and ran away.

Conan quickly gave chase, but the other person ran incredibly fast, and he couldn't find them even after chasing them to the end. Just as he was about to sigh and give up, he heard the voice of courage again.

"I've done as you said, so this will save Dad, right?" Conan only saw Yuuki talking to someone around the corner, but he couldn't see the person or hear their reply.

Save his father? That man wasn't his father after all! Conan instinctively thought that the person he spoke to was the bespectacled man from before.

Conan's brain raced: the accident during the exercise, the imposter father and son, saving his father, the man who disappeared in the CIC command center... Conan's glasses instantly reflected light.

It turns out X wasn't that Self-Defense Force officer, but the guy who impersonated someone else's father. So, during the time he was missing, he most likely went to a classified compartment on the ship to steal military intelligence!

If that's the case, then what about that female Self-Defense Officer? And what role did she play?

Conan decided to inform the others first. However, at the corner that Conan hadn't checked, the person speaking to Yuuki wasn't the spy X he thought he was talking to, but Jiang Jin.

Hearing Conan leave, Jiang Jin knew his plan was probably successful. Based on the plot, he deduced that Conan must have already noticed the courageous X. He only needed to say something ambiguous and suggestive enough to easily lead Conan to suspect that X was involved in something.

Given Conan's inquisitive nature, if he were to encounter X, he would inevitably expose X's identity and conspiracy. At that point, X would believe what Conan had said before, and his murderous intent towards Conan would shift from being forced into threats to willingly killing him to silence him.

"Yongqi, let's go." Jiang Jin reached out his hand and took Yongqi's hand as they left.

Everything was progressing roughly according to the plot. Hattori Heiji cornered Fujii Nanami in the captain's cabin and summoned the captain and the police officers from the investigation team.

Left with no other choice, Fujii Nanami revealed her identity: she was an intelligence security officer from the Cabinet Ministry of Defense, and she boarded the Aegis destroyer "Harvest" to investigate because she had noticed X's actions.

"So, Fujii Issuke, what was the passenger's phone you found earlier?" Hattori Heiji hadn't forgotten his original purpose.

“That’s not a passenger’s phone, it’s Lieutenant Commander Sasura’s phone,” Fujii Nanami explained. “I discovered that he was sending out intelligence about the Aegis ships, which is why I refused to give you the phone.”

Later, Officer Ayanokoji from Kyoto Prefecture, who was on board the ship, said, "So, that's the reason you, Lieutenant Sekiguchi, interrogated Lieutenant Sasaura earlier, is that right?"

The Self-Defense Force officer surnamed Sekiguchi glanced at Fujii Nanami and finally said, "That's right... There was a data leak incident involving Aegis destroyers at the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Wakasa base before, and Fujii Kazusa assigned me to investigate that incident."

"So who did he leak the data on the Aegis ships to?" Hattori Heiji pressed.

Fujii Nanami replied, "A man named Takekawa was acting as the representative, in charge of a private investigation agency that had ceased operations several years ago. This company was bought by this man, who called himself Takekawa, to carry out espionage activities. This tactic is very common in Japan."

It is clear that Captain Sasaura leaked the information to this spy named Takegawa, and then died for some unknown reason.

"The day after we found out about this, we received information from the Japan Coast Guard that a suspicious vessel had been spotted near Maizuru Port. The Aegis destroyer was anchored near Maizuru Port, so it's hard to believe it was a coincidence."

Therefore, Fujii Nanami speculated that the spy, X, who shared the same nationality as Takegawa, was likely using Lieutenant Commander Sasaura's cover to infiltrate the ship and steal data. This is also why she was on the Aegis ship.

While everyone was still speculating about Spy X's actions, Conan had already encountered X on the road.

"Little brother, I just heard the Self-Defense Force officers say not to stay on the deck." X looked at Conan, a hint of malice in his eyes. "Let me take you away from here."
