The Pitch Black Express Chapter 107: Aegis Ship (6)

"Nothing to discover......"

"yes, it looks like I still have to report to the captain for decision......"

"Then you can continue to check here now, and I'll go on deck and investigate."

"Okay."

Kazama left the area under investigation with Conan, "That's where I was talking to Dr. Asasa just now, and it seems that our satellite phone communication signal has been detected. "Yes, you should still be careful, after all, you can't carry communication equipment on this Aegis ship, so be careful of being caught as a spy." "Spies? What's the situation? And why didn't those two crew members seem to see us? Conan quickly threw out a flurry of questions.

"That's just a trick, a ninja is a person who is good at forbearance, this is our basic skill." As he spoke, Kazama snapped his fingers again, and in an instant, he disappeared from Conan's eyes, but his voice continued to come, "This trick can only make people lose sight of me for a while, but the sound and touch are still there, so I'm going to cover your mouth and drag you aside." Saying that, Kazama gently patted Conan's shoulder, confirming that what he said was true, of course this is not a trick, how has the Konoha Ninja School ever taught such a skill, this is a genuine illusion, that is, with the help of that snap of his fingers to spread the chakra of Kazama, to achieve the effect of manipulating other people's senses, this inconspicuous trick cleverly combines the characteristics of visual illusion and auditory illusion, and can achieve such an effect because the other party is not an ordinary person who does not have chakra, and does not have any resistance to illusion, Even the lower ninja who had just refined Chakra would not have been able to fall so easily. "As for the Spy, I heard the female self-defense officer and Captain Tateishi talk about Spy X and Aegis intelligence, so you have to be careful when using that satellite phone again."

Kazama turned his head abruptly and beckoned not far away, "Sister Xiaolan, we're here...... There are so many passages in this cabin that you can get lost if you are not careful. Just around the corner, Xiaolan Yuanzi walked over with the children, "Conan, this Aegis ship is so big, don't you run around with Kazama." Everyone gathered together again and walked in the direction of the stern of the ship with Mr. Inoue leading the way in front, "Then what I am leading you to visit now is the Sea Hawk carrier-based anti-submarine helicopter located at the stern of the ship, this kind of helicopter ......"

Thinking about the seafarers' examination of the satellite signal, Conan was ready to slip away again, "I'm going to the bathroom......" "Detective, can't you make a better excuse, you have been to the toilet three times in less than half an hour." Kazama silently complained in his heart. Conan, who was about to leave after speaking, was stopped by Xiaolan, "Wait a minute, Conan, I'll go with you too, whoever told you to run away without paying attention will be gone." Grabbing Conan's small hand, the two of them broke away from the group of tour passengers and walked towards the back of the cabin.

Ran and Conan, who were walking in the cabin, suddenly heard a strange shout, and Conan broke free of Ran's hand and ran in the direction from which the sound came. Conan, who was standing at the door of the cabin, saw what happened inside, it was a human arm, with a watch on it, wearing the uniform of an officer of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and sure enough, something terrible had happened on the Aegis ship. "Hey, you two, this is an area that is not allowed to tourists!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we went to find the toilet, but accidentally got lost in the cabin." "Anyway, let's report it to the captain first, there has been a terrible incident." Conan at the door whispered to Xiaolan, "Let's go and inform Uncle Kogoro." "That's right." Xiaolan took out a business card of Maori Kogoro from his pocket and handed it to the crew, "Excuse me, do you want to consider discussing it with my father, it is a human arm on that table, he is Maori Kogoro, I don't know if you have heard of it, it is the detective, the sleeping Kogoro." ”

……

"What's the matter, Kudo?" Heiji Hattori, who was still in class, answered Conan's phone.

"Remains? You say there are bodies on board the Aegis? ”

"No, it's just a left arm, but I think the man is ......," dodging the crew members passing by, "yes, that left arm seems to be wearing a Maritime Self-Defense Force uniform." ”

"So it was the Self-Defense Forces who were killed?"

"I don't know if this case was man-made or an accident, but there is nothing wrong with the clothes on the deceased's body that are indeed first-class captains."

"That's really weird, so I'll rush to Maizuru City first, and wait for me to contact you."

Conan, who hung up the phone, heard the sound in the passage, and realized that his satellite communication revealed his location again, and quickly hid in the shadows, not far away, two crew members armed with pistols came here, and one of them turned on the wireless communicator in his hand, "There is no similar equipment that can communicate with satellites here, and no suspicious people have been found." ”

'Sure enough, it was my satellite phone that exposed ......'

"X may have infiltrated the Aegis ship, be sure to check it carefully."

'It's X again, who the hell is that?' ’

Dodging the search of the crew, Conan began to look for a place for a satellite phone, but the phones on the warship are not usable, that will be regulated by the internal line, once it is used, it means that the call is in a state of monitoring, he saw the yellow exclamation mark sign on the cabin in front of him at a glance, 'Huh? This is...... This sign indicates that there is a strong magnetic field here, and talking in this room should be able to avoid the detection of the Aegis ship. ’

……

Mori Kogoro and Captain Tateishi met in the bridge, and after the two shook hands and identified each other, they began to cut to the chase, "Mr. Mori, I've already heard the details of the situation at Sekiguchi. ”

"Hello Mr. Mori, I'm a police officer." The man holding a tray introduced himself, and inside the tray was the left arm that had been found.

"Speaking of the identity of a police officer, it is equivalent to a police officer in the Self-Defense Forces, right?" Uncle Maori still has this kind of common sense, after all, he is a former policeman. "This is the part of the body you just mentioned, right?"

"Yes, right here." The police officer Sekiguchi placed the tray on the table and opened the cloth that covered it.

Uncle Maori carefully looked at the details on the severed arm, "From the analysis of the section, this arm should not have been cut off by a sharp blade, and judging from the wound, there is no sign of a living reaction." ”

"So, was it removed after death?"

"Yes, where was this arm found?"

"On the strainer of the drain injector."

"Isn't the drain device the same machine that made a strange noise at that time, that's why it made that sound at that time?" Xiao Lan suddenly remembered what had happened when the Aegis ship had just set sail.

"When I set off in Maizuru Bay, I often inhale large chunks of garbage floating along the current, or some kind of large marine animals, so no one cares about making that noise, but I think it was at that time that this arm was attached to the filter."

"What do you mean by a filter?"

"When we inhale seawater, in order to prevent large garbage or fish, shellfish and other things from clogging the injection and drainage equipment, we will install a net near the injection and drainage outlet to filter these things, and when the things attached to it are large enough to affect the operation of the filter, we will go to check and remove these things, and this arm is where it was found."

Conan came to the gate of the bridge, stuck to the doorway and looked inside, eavesdropping on the conversation between the captain and Kogoro, and suddenly he was patted by someone, and when he looked back, it was Kazama again, "You want to know how things are going?" Kazama asked softly next to Conan's ear. Conan nodded slightly, and Kazama took out two kunai from the ninja bag on his waist and struck them lightly on his chest, making a crisp sound, but Uncle Mori and Captain Tateishi and many crew members on the bridge were still talking about this arm to themselves as if they hadn't heard it.

Kazama dragged Conan into the bridge, and no longer lowered his voice, letting go of his voice, fiddling with the two kunai in his hands, "This is a very advanced technique, and it is not surprising that we ninjas, who are the best at forbearance, can master these techniques." Well, you take it easy, they can't see us now, they can't hear us, as long as you pay attention and don't touch their bodies. ”
