"In addition, I believe that the place where Captain Sasaura was killed was not on the Aegis ship," Chi Feichi put forward his second inference. "Someone witnessed Captain Sasaura on the cliff of Maizuru Port at 5:30 in the morning.
On, and at 5:30 in the morning, the Aegis ship had just sailed into the Wakasa base and docked. Captain Sasaura had to rush from the cliff of Maizuru Port to the Wakasa base, which took almost half an hour, that is, at 6 in the morning. At that time
, there is more than one patrol member on the bow deck doing final inspections, it is impossible for someone to hide from others, conflict with him on the deck and kill him..."
"According to the time of death deduced by the medical examiner, Kaiwei Sasaura died between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.," Megure Shisan frowned and thought, "In terms of time, it is unlikely that he would have died in God's time.
On board the shield ship."
"The Aegis ship had a bow deck tour in the morning. There were many people on the bow deck at that time, but no one found the mobile phone placed on the missile launcher hatch. That place was not considered hidden. If that
The mobile phone was there in the morning. Someone should have discovered the mobile phone in the morning, but it was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon when Ichizu Fujii and I were passing by that mobile phone that we saw the mobile phone. Then you were also arrested by the patrol.
People have been looking for him," Chi Feichi said, and then concluded, "In other words, Captain Sasaura may have died somewhere other than the Aegis ship, and the murderer or someone took his mobile phone to the Aegis ship.
On the shield ship, the SD card in his mobile phone was not taken away."
The conference room was quiet for a moment, as everyone was digesting the information Chi Feichi said.
Conan is also sorting out his thoughts.
So far, he and Chi Feichi have reached the same conclusion, and the person who put Captain Sasaura's mobile phone on the deck is probably the murderer...
Miwako Sato also thought of this, "When Captain Sasaura was found dead, he didn't say anything about it, didn't call the police, and even took his mobile phone and put it on the deck of the Aegis ship. The person who did this is probably the murderer himself.
!”
"Even if he is not the murderer, he is still someone who knows the inside story of many incidents," Fumimaro Ayanokouji said slowly, "As long as we find this person, we should be able to know the truth of the incident."
The conference room fell into a new round of silence.
How easy is it to find this person?
The other party has not shown up yet, and it is unrealistic to expect the other party to come forward on his own.
Captain Sasaura's body was soaked in seawater, and even his arms were cut off by the water outlet. They were unable to obtain any more clues from the body.
In addition, there are no obvious fingerprints left on the phone, and of course there are no stains or traces worthy of investigation...
"The fact that the other party can put the mobile phone on the deck means that the other party is on the Aegis ship. It is not that easy to sneak away from the Aegis ship. Even if the ship is prepared in advance, there is no way to hide it from the detection system. Therefore, this person
We're still on the Aegis ship now." Chi Feichi reminded again and couldn't help but glance at Conan.
Is the detective still working?
He cooperated with Conan and let Conan stay in the conference room, but Conan is silent now. Is he planning to leave all the reasoning work to him?
Conan lowered his head, concentrating on thinking about the clues, and did not notice Chi Feichi's gaze.
Chi Feichi had no choice but to continue on his own, "At the same time, between 5:30 and 6:00 this morning, the other party will be in the cliff area of Maizuru Port. Among the people currently on the Aegis ship, there will be people like the current ones.
People like Officer Mu and Officer Takagi will definitely not be that person."
Others suddenly felt their minds opened up.
"It definitely can't be me," Mouri Kogoro's face became much more relaxed, "I was fast asleep in the hotel at half past five in the morning. I didn't wake up until around six in the morning and came with me.
The sleeping Conan kid can testify!"
"I was resting at home in Kyoto at that time, and it was impossible to come to Maizuru Port," Fumimaro Ayanokouji made an interesting discovery and said with a smile, "It's five-thirty in the morning, which is still too early, and many people are still there.
It should be easy to identify the suspect while sleeping..."
Conan suddenly raised his head and looked at a man wearing a Coast Guard uniform. He was the Coast Guard patrol member who discovered the suspicious ship in Maizuru Port in the morning. He noticed that the man's mouth was tightly pursed and his throat was making swallowing movements. He suddenly realized
Realizing that his suspicion was correct, after thinking about it, he decided to direct others to pay attention to the suspect in the team, and deliberately asked in a childish voice, "Mr. Kurata, you discovered a suspicious abandoned ship in Maizuru Port during your morning patrol.
So, you should have been patrolling the Maizuru Port area this morning, right?"
Chi Feichi, like everyone else, looked at the patrol member of the Coast Guard.
In fact, he and the other party had met two days ago.
This person is from the Security Section of the Wakasa Security Department, a subordinate of Section Chief Tomokazu Takashima. On the day he and Tomokazu Takashima arrived at the Wakasa Security Department, it was this member of the Security Section named 'Kurata' who sent information to Tomokazu Takashima.
, but they only met once and glanced at each other, without much interaction.
Probably because the Spy
"Did you see anyone suspicious in the Maizuru Port area this morning?" Conan still pretended to be innocent and asked Kurata, "Where is Captain Sasaura? Did you see him during your patrol?"
Megure Thirteen noticed that Kurata had a nervous look on his face. He had been a criminal policeman for many years, and his experience and intuition made him think of an answer, which also made his heart sink. "Mr. Kurata, can you tell us what you did on patrol this morning?"
At that time, did you see Captain Sasaura or anyone suspicious?"
Cold sweat broke out on Kurata's forehead, but he still insisted, "I... didn't... I didn't know about Sasaura Kaiwei until I participated in the investigation of this incident..."
Fujii Nanami looked at Kurata, "But you found that the location of the abandoned ship is very close to the cliff..."
"During your patrol, you also need to contact the Wakasa Security Department base regularly, right? As long as you check with the Wakasa Security Department Security Section, you can determine whether you are near the cliff around 5:30 in the morning," Megure Thirteen
Still hoping that Kurata could say it himself, he said in a deep voice, "In addition, after you boarded the Aegis ship, Captain Sasaura's mobile phone also appeared on the Aegis ship. We have reason to suspect that you and Captain Sasaura
Related to the death incident..."
Chi Feichi felt that it was necessary to let Kurata understand that they could have evidence, "Captain Sasaura appeared at Maizuru Port at 5:30 in the morning, waving the flag, which was probably a signal to the spies, and the phone call at 5:30
It could also be that the call was made to a spy, and the spy who contacted him may have been identified. After catching the spy, the police can find out from him whether they heard any special sounds on the phone."
Kurata suddenly stood up, causing the baton and pistol in his waist to collide, making a crisp sound.
When Takagi Wataru saw Kurata reaching out to touch the pistol, he immediately stood up vigilantly and took out the pistol, "Don't move!"
Seeing that Kurata didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, Megure Thirteen stretched out his hand to signal Takagi Wataru not to worry.
Kurata took the baton and pistol from his waist and put them on the table. He looked down at the conference table and explained with some collapse, "I didn't mean to kill him. When I was on patrol in the morning, I saw something suspicious on the road.
He was wearing a long black trench coat and was making a call on his mobile phone. When I saw him, I felt suspicious and shouted. Unexpectedly, he ran away immediately, not even caring about dropping his mobile phone on the ground. I chased him to the cliff.
I was trying to catch him, but when he hit me with the suitcase in his hand, the rock under my feet suddenly cracked... I had already reached out to grab his windbreaker, but he still fell down, and in the end I just
Just grabbed a windbreaker!"
"He must have been leaking information to spies at that time, so he was so nervous." Fujii Nanami speculated.
"I didn't know his identity or what he did at that time. After I found him falling off the cliff and into the sea, I ran down and tried to find him," Kurata lowered his head and sighed, honestly confessing this morning.
Everything that happened, "Halfway through the search, I discovered the suspicious ship. After that, I informed the headquarters and contacted the Maritime Self-Defense Force. I was very busy. After I had some time, I received news from the Kyoto Prefectural Police. I heard that
I found Captain Sasaura's severed arm on the Aegis ship. I quickly checked the belongings left by the man who fell into the water. Only then did I realize that the man I saw acting suspiciously in the morning was Captain Sasaura, although it was a work error.
, but the fact that I was still a member of the Self-Defense Forces still frightened me, so I begged the commander to let me join the investigation team of this incident..."
"Why did you do this?" Megure Thirteen asked in a deep voice, "Is it just to put Captain Sasaura's cell phone on the Aegis ship?"
"Yes," Kurata lowered his head and looked at the table, "Captain Sasaura's severed arm was found at the Aegis ship's injection outlet. I think everyone may suspect that he was killed on the Aegis ship, so I
I took the phone to the Aegis ship and put it on the deck, and what happened next was as everyone knows, the phone was discovered, and I pretended not to know."
Ayanokouji Fumimaro stood up, took out the handcuffs from his pocket, walked to Kurata, and cast a questioning look at Kurata, "Mr. Kurata, we are going to take you back now to understand the situation."
Kurata did not resist, nodded towards Ayanokouji Fumimaro, took two steps back, and bowed to the others to apologize, "Because of my selfish behavior, I misled the direction of the project. I am really sorry!"
After the truth of the incident came to light, Conan completely relaxed and looked at Chi Feichi quietly.
His friends said before, "People like Officer Megure and Officer Takagi are eliminated as suspects." Could it be that he was deliberately leading them to investigate internally first?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chi Feichi did it on purpose.
But no matter what, they solved another incident. For the rest of the time, they just talked about old times and relaxedly waited for the Aegis ship to dock.
Fujii Nanami felt the satellite mobile phone she was carrying vibrating. She was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Yukio Tateishi guiltily and took out the satellite phone. "Captain, let me answer the phone."
