Just when Qianyu and the others were still eating, the atmosphere in the cabin changed unconsciously. "Why are there so many more members of the Self-Defense Forces," Chiba, who had already finished eating, whispered to Ai Ashbara, who had not finished eating. "And they are all crews who have not appeared in the exercise before."

"Huh?" Gray Yuan Ai glanced around, only to realize that there were several more rather taciturn young Self-Defense Force members nearby, and they seemed to be eating their own meals.

"Five new members of the Self-Defense Forces, and then one passenger I haven't seen before," said Chiha, gesturing to look diagonally ahead, only to see a young man dressed in tourist costume also eating his curry rice in a rather silent manner. "It's understandable that the Self-Defense Forces members haven't seen me, but the passenger's words ...... No, I had a good look at all the faces of all the participants when I was here listening to Inoue Sansa's lecture on sightseeing, but I never saw this guy......"

"Could the members of the Self-Defense Forces also have dinner with us here, just like they did when we were sightseeing on the ship before, to add to the atmosphere?" Gray Plains Wai came up with such an idea.

"In that case, we should have seen the sea crew we saw on the deck in charge of interacting with the visitors, not a group of newcomers." Qian Yu shook his head. "The Self-Defense Forces are not a circus, so how can we introduce everyone to us all day long."

And while they were still discussing the matter, the restaurant suddenly went off with alarm bells. "Woo-woo-woo-"

“！！！” Chiba was taken aback, and Ash Yuan Ai had already wanted to put down the spoon in his hand, but after seeing Chiba's defensive posture, he relaxed again and continued to eat the last part of the curry rice with the spoon.

"......" Qian Yu glanced at the other people who were a little panicked next to him, and saw that Gray Yuan Wai was completely indifferent, and his brows twitched. Gray Plains ......"

"Huh?" Wai seemed dissatisfied with the interruption of his curry rice, glaring at Chiha, who replied with a rather confused expression.

[Miss, please make a little bit like you've heard some strange sound!] Your reaction seems to be either auditory hallucinations for all of us, or you're deaf......]

Faced with such a reaction, Gray Yuan Ai only glanced at Qianyu's chest, and then glanced at the curry rice in front of him. In Qianyu's crying and laughing expression, he ate it again - probably because he was addicted to savoring the taste of curry rice, so although most of the people present had already finished eating, there were still some curry rice on the plate in front of Gray Yuan that he couldn't finish for the time being.

【Don't, curry rice is delicious!】 And you're ready anyway, why should I do something in vain? 】

At the same time as Chiba sighed, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the cabin outside the restaurant, and it was still rapidly approaching the restaurant.

[At least six people can already be identified by cadence and step nodes...... Isn't that a sense of panic among tourists? Chiba frowned. [But in fact, even if there is no such thing, the alarm bell will already scare everyone...... So what's going on? 】

In the midst of Chiba's speculation, six members of the Self-Defense Forces ran in - and two of them were captains in cadre uniforms with pistols.

"Don't move, everybody!" One of the lieutenants commanded. "After our investigation, some of you have used floppy disks to steal top-secret information from this ship, please cooperate with us immediately to accept the inspection!"

"Top secret?" At this moment, even Gray Yuan Wai raised his eyebrows.

In such an atmosphere, the members of the Self-Defense Forces divided into six groups and began to check everyone present.

"Huh?" Chiba suddenly noticed something interesting.

There were a total of 49 tourists, 54 after counting the five Self-Defense Force members who were eating. And if the 54 people are numbered from the entrance in serpentine order, then the six SDF members will be inspected from 1, 10, 19, 28, 37 and 46, respectively.

Of course, this is not really interesting, because the really interesting thing is that if you follow this pattern, the five SDF members who are not familiar and the passenger who you have never seen before will be the last of the six SDF members to check.

The method of searching is actually quite simple - rummaging through bags and pockets.

"Oh......" Chiba watched as the six SDF members rummaged through everyone's pockets one by one.

"What are you looking for, and rummaging through your pockets......" Qianyu's brow twitched. Electronic storage devices? ”

"Anyway, we can't find it," Gray said as he finally finished his last bite of curry rice, wiping his mouth lightly.

While they were discussing this, a member of the Self-Defense Forces checked in with the father of the father and son that Chiba and Gray Hara had complained about before.

"This USB flash drive, is it yours?" The Self-Defense Force member asked as he looked at the USB flash drive he had taken out of his father's bag. "I remember...... It says on the application form that you are Mr. Amamiya."

"Well, I'm Amamiya and I'm an office clerk, so I need this - do you need to check what's inside?" Father asked. "Some of them are documents from my office, and there may be some confidential information."

"The USB flash drive is fine, but can I take a look?" With that, the SDF members took the plug of the USB flash drive to their own devices.

On the plug, there was an eerie green glow.

"It's him!" The self-defense team member was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps back, and the USB flash drive in his hand was also subconsciously thrown out, drawing an arc in the air, and was caught by Chiba.

[That green light ......] Qianyu's gaze locked on the port of the USB flash drive - the inside of the USB flash drive had been coated with a layer of fluorescent green paint. [This fluorescence...... How to color, could it be that there is a paint applicator on the inside of the socket? Well...... Judging from the color condition on the inside, which resembles friction marks, this should be the case. Maybe it's the unique way of data protection on the Aegis ship, using this method to mark the used transmission tools? 】

And just as Chiba was thinking like this, there was a sudden commotion on Mr. Amamiya's side.

"Don't come!" Almost instantly, one of Amamiya's hands suddenly grabbed the girl in front of him, and dragged the other party from the seat in front of him across the dining table with brute force in a rough way like strangling his neck, and pulled him in front of him, while his other hand took out a plastic knife from his bag and put the serrated part on the front of the girl's neck who suddenly lost her breath. "Whoever dares to mess with me, I'll kill her!"

————————

I actually want to complain...... The surname Amemiya has appeared in other places in Conan, and there is still an impression, right?
