Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"In addition, I don't think the place where Captain Sasaura was killed was on the Aegis ship," Chi Feichi put forward his second deduction, "Someone witnessed Captain Sasaura on the cliff of Maizuru Port at 5:30 in the morning. , and at 5:30 in the morning, the Aegis ship just sailed into the Wakasa base and docked. It took about half an hour for Captain Sasaura to rush from the cliff of Maizuru Port to the Wakasa base, that is, at 6:00 in the morning. At that time, There was more than one member of the patrol on the bow deck doing the final checks, there's no way someone could have been able to hide from the others, clash with him on deck and kill him..."

"According to the time of death inferred by the forensic doctor, Captain Sasaura died between 4:00 am and 6:00 am," Mu Mu Shisan frowned and thought, "In terms of time, it is unlikely that he will die in God's office." On the shield ship."

"The Aegis ship had a visit to the bow deck in the morning. At that time, many people were active on the bow deck, but no one found the mobile phone placed on the hatch of the missile launcher. That place is not considered hidden. If that The mobile phone was there in the morning, and someone should have found the mobile phone in the morning, but it was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon, when Kazuo Fujii and I passed by there, that the mobile phone was seen, and then you were also arrested by the patrol team. People came to find them," 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 brought his mobile phone to the Aegis ship. On the shield ship, but did not take away the SD card in his phone."

The meeting room was quiet for a moment, and everyone was digesting the information Chi Feichi said.

Conan is also sorting out his thoughts.

So far, he and Chi Feichi have the same judgment, and the person who put Captain Sasaura's mobile phone on the deck is probably the murderer...

Miwako Sato also thought of this, "The person who found Captain Sasaura dead but kept quiet and did not call the police, even took his mobile phone and put it on the deck of the Aegis ship, is very likely to be the murderer himself !"

"Even if it's not the murderer, it's 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 meeting room fell into a new round of silence.

How easy is it to find this person?

The other party has not shown up until now, and it is unrealistic to expect the other party to stand up by himself.

The body of Lieutenant Sasaura was soaked in sea water, and even his arms were cut off by the drain, so they couldn't get 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 worth investigating...

"The other party can put the mobile phone on the deck, which means that the other party is on the Aegis ship. It is not so easy to sneak away from the Aegis ship. Even if the ship is prepared in advance, there is no way to hide from the detection system. Therefore, this person It is still on the Aegis ship." Chi Feichi reminded again, and couldn't help but glance at Conan.

Is the famous 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 the clues, and didn't notice Chi Feichi's gaze.

Chi Feichi had no choice but to continue to come by himself, "At the same time, during the period from 5:30 to 6:00 this morning, the other party will be at the cliff area of ​​Wuhe Port. People like Officer Mu and Officer Takagi are definitely not that person."

The others suddenly felt that their minds had been opened.

"That can't be me," Mori Kogoro said with a relaxed expression, "I was sleeping soundly in the hotel at 5:30 in the morning, and I didn't wake up until after 6:00 in the morning. 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," Ayanokoji Fumimaro made an interesting discovery and said with a smile, "It's 5:30 in the morning, it's still too early, and many people still Sleeping, it should be easy to identify the suspect..."

Conan suddenly raised his head and looked at a man in the uniform of the Coast Guard, who was a patrol member of the Coast Guard who spotted a suspicious ship in Maizuru Port in the morning. Realizing that my suspicion was correct, after thinking about it, I decided to guide others to pay attention to the suspects in the team, and asked in a childish voice, "Mr. Kurata, you found a suspicious abandoned ship in Maizuru Port during your morning patrol. So, you should have been patrolling around Maizuru Port this morning, right?"

Like everyone else, Chi Feichi looked at the patrol member of the Coast Guard.

In fact, he and the other party met each other two days ago.

This person is from the Security Division of the Wakasa Security Department, and is a subordinate of the section chief Tomokazu Takashima. On the day he and Tomokazu Takashima arrived at the Wakasa Security Department, this member of the Security Section with the surname 'Kurata' sent information to Tomokazu Takashima. , but they just met and glanced at each other, and they didn't have much intersection.

Probably because in this plot, the spy X incident took up too much of the scene. At that time, he didn't notice that it was Kurata he saw, who was the key person in this incident...

"Did you see any suspicious people in the Maizuru Port area this morning?" Conan was still pretending to be innocent and asked Kurata, "Where is Captain Sasaura? Did you see him when you were patrolling?"

Mu Mushisan noticed that Kurata had a tense expression on his face. Having been a criminal police officer for many years, his experience and intuition made him think of an answer, which also made his heart sink, "Mr. Kurata, can you tell us that you are on patrol in the morning?" Did you see Captain Sasaura or anyone suspicious?"

Cold sweat broke out on Kurata's forehead, but he still insisted, "I... no... I only found out about Captain Sasaura after I participated in the investigation of this incident..."

Fujii Nanami looked at Kurata, "But you found the location of the abandoned ship, very close to the cliff..."

"During your patrol, you also need to regularly contact the base of the Wakasa Security Department, right? Just ask the Wakasa Security Department's Security Division, and you will be able to confirm whether you are near the cliff at around 5:30 in the morning," Memu Thirteen I still hope that Kurata can speak out by himself, and 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 The death is related to..."

Chi Feichi felt that it was necessary for Kurata to understand that they could have evidence, "Captain Sasaura appeared at Maizuru Port at 5:30 in the morning, waving the flag was likely to send a signal to spies, and the phone call at 5:30 It may also be a call to a spy, and the spy who contacted him may have been identified, and after the spy is caught, the police can ask him to find out if there is any special sound heard on the phone."

Kurata stood up suddenly, and the baton and pistol on his waist collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Seeing Kurata reaching out to touch the pistol, Takagi stood up vigilantly, took out the pistol, "Don't move!"

Seeing that Kurata didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them, Mu Mushisan reached out his hand to signal Takagi She to not worry.

Kurata took the baton and pistol from his waist, put them on the table, looked down at the conference table, and explained with some collapse, "I didn't mean to kill him. When I was patrolling in the morning, I saw a suspicious person on the road. At that time, he was wearing a long black windbreaker and was making a call on his mobile phone. When I saw him, I felt suspicious, so I yelled. Unexpectedly, he ran away immediately, and I didn’t even care if the phone dropped on the ground. I chased him to the cliff I wanted to catch him, but when he hit me with the suitcase in his hand, the rock under his feet split open... I reached out and grabbed his windbreaker, but he still fell, and finally I just Just grabbed a windbreaker!"

"He should be leaking information to spies at that time, so he was so nervous." Fujii Nanami speculated.

"I didn't know his identity at that time, and I didn't know what he did. After I found him falling off the cliff and into the sea, I ran down and tried to find him," Kurata sighed and honestly explained this morning. Everything that happened, "I found the suspicious ship halfway, and then I notified the headquarters and contacted the Maritime Self-Defense Force. I was very busy. After I was free, I received a message from the Kyoto Prefecture Police. I heard that The severed arm of Captain Sasaura was found on the Aegis ship. I quickly checked the belongings left by the man who fell into the water, only to find that the suspicious man I saw in the morning was Captain Sasaura, although it was a work negligence , but being a member of the Self-Defense Forces still terrified me, so I begged the officer to let me join the investigation team of this incident..."

"Why did you do this?" Mumu Shisan asked in a deep voice, "Is it just to put Lieutenant Sasaura's mobile phone on the Aegis ship?"

"Yes," Kurata looked down at the table, "Captain Sasaura's severed arm was found at the discharge port of the Aegis ship. I think everyone may suspect that he was killed on the Aegis ship, so I said I brought the mobile phone to the Aegis ship and put it on the deck, and what happened after that was as everyone knows, the mobile phone was found, and I pretended not to know."

Fummaro Ayanokōji stood up, took out the handcuffs from his pocket, walked to Kurata's side, and cast a questioning look at Kurata, "Mr. Kurata, we are going to take you back to understand the situation now."

Kurata did not resist, nodded to Fummaro Ayanokouji, took two steps back, and bowed to the others to apologize, "It was because of my selfish behavior that I misled the direction of the case. I am very sorry!"

When the truth of the incident came to light, Conan completely relaxed and quietly looked at Chi Feichi.

His little friend said earlier that 'Officers Megure and Takagi are excluded', so it's not like he deliberately led them to investigate internally first, right?

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, let's talk about the past and wait for the Aegis ship to dock easily.

Fujii Nanami felt the vibration of the satellite mobile phone she was carrying, she was stunned for a moment, looked at Yukio Tateishi with some guilt, and took out the satellite phone, "Captain, I will answer the call."
