My lover is this organization

"What can we do? We can't just launch a full-scale attack just for the sake of show effect. The cost would be too high. The ticket money probably won't even cover a fraction of the cost."

This is the truth. For example, the torpedo launched earlier would cost several million dollars if converted into US dollars. Otherwise, there would not be the saying that war is a waste of money.

Judging from the ticket price set by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force for this public performance, it is probably just a small token of appreciation, not even enough to cover the fuel cost for such a round trip at sea.

"I know, that's why I'm just saying that."

Akai Mary glanced at him, seeming very dissatisfied with Doghead's indifferent reaction.

Really, do you have any emotional intelligence? When a woman says this, does she want you to give her a rational analysis with reasons and evidence?

"Yeah, that's what I said."

Qin Wuque paused here, then without warning reached out his hand and hugged her, sitting her on his lap.

"What are you going to do? This is..." Akai Mary was surprised by his bold action.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Wuque tapped her head lightly.

"I just want you to sit down and feel it for a while, then you will find, ah~ this wind, ah~ this sea, ah~ this blue sky."

"But this posture is too..."

Akai Mari twisted her body reflexively, with a barely perceptible embarrassment in her tone.

"Don't worry, in the eyes of others, we are just a pair of very harmonious and friendly siblings, well... maybe even father and daughter." Qin Wuque's tone was vague.

"Or is there something that's making you uneasy, Mary?"

"...Not bad." Akai Mary was silent for a while and shook her head slightly.

"Of course, we have another option."

"what?"

Akai Mary answered subconsciously.

Then, she saw a dog head giving her a mischievous smile.

"We can go on an adventure!"

"…Exploration?"

Akai Mari was stunned for a moment.

This statement was indeed a bit ridiculous. It took her two seconds to understand what Qin Wuque wanted to express.

So it means free exploration on the warship?

It's not that it's impossible. After all, running around is just like cheating in an exam. It doesn't count as long as you don't get caught.

"I took a look." Qin Wuque turned around and looked around the deck. "The people from the Maritime Self-Defense Force are basically taking photos with other tourists. Now is the best time to sneak away. Even if we are discovered, we can use the excuse of going to the bathroom."

He used a universal excuse he had learned from a high school detective.

"Um……"

Akai Mary hesitated for a moment and was about to nod in agreement.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a glimpse of a sharp horn similar to that of a unicorn emerging from the side of the cannon that Qin Wuque was leaning against, and her gaze subconsciously wandered a little.

Qin Wuque noticed this and just as he turned around, he saw a Tokyo Unicorn sticking half of its head out from behind the cannon base and looking at him.

As their eyes met, Xiaolan blinked twice, turned around, waved her hand and spoke loudly.

"Shinichi—over here, over here!"

"what?"

Before Qin Wuque could figure out what was going on, he heard brisk footsteps approaching from afar.

Then a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Um, can you ask me something?"

"..."

Qin Wuque rolled his eyes.

"Not convenient, next one."

However, if he could just dismiss the words with a simple "it's inconvenient", then he would not be Kudo Shinichi.

A few minutes later, in the intricate corridors of the bridge.

"Well, to put it simply, you just want to ask me if I saw the father of the little boy named Courage when I visited Yandiao in CIC before, right?"

After listening to Kudo Shinichi's question, Qin Wuque nodded seriously.

It seems like he is really thinking seriously.

But then he changed the subject and shrugged.

"Then I definitely don't know. How would I know if you ask me about this?"

"……Eh?"

Kudo Shinichi originally just wanted to give it a try, and if he could ask, that would be the best, but if he couldn't, that would be fine.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wuque refused so decisively, which made him feel very frustrated.

Qin Wuque seemed not to notice the expression on his face and continued, "Besides, I don't even know who this courage you are talking about is, let alone his father."

"Courage is..."

Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt a little powerless.

As a detective, he instinctively collects information that would seem insignificant and can be ignored to ordinary people.

For example, when he entered the meeting room before, he accidentally heard the man who Qin Wuque had said "What are you looking at" shouted "courage" to the little boy he was holding hands with, and he remembered the name.

However, he overlooked a very important point, that is, Qin Wuque was not a detective, and would not pay attention to unimportant things like him.

Akai Mary, who had been silent, suddenly spoke calmly: "Courage, I remember this name should be the little boy who passed by you in the conference room before. I remember the man who pulled him called him this..."

"Oh--"

Qin Wuque nodded as if he suddenly understood something.

"Sorry, I still don't know. I was holding my sister and watching the show. Why would I pay attention to a strange man I didn't know? Or you..."

He looked up and down at Kudo Shinichi with some caution.

"what!"

Noticing that his childhood sweetheart's gaze was also filled with a hint of disbelief, Kudo Shinichi quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"I just saw that the kid named Courage was alone when the torpedo exploded and the ship was hit, so I was a little curious."

"Oh, then I'll tell you clearly now, I don't know."

Qin Wuque sighed.

"Also, if you really want to know, why don't you just ask the person himself? If there's nothing else, my sister and I will..."

"what!!!"

“This, this is!!!”

At the same time, two suppressed exclamations came from a room deep in the corridor ahead.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Damn, it turns out that you can’t eat too much before typing. If you eat too much, you will feel stupid and can’t even type.

Sitting in front of the computer and typing after eating too much is really... both writer's block and uncomfortable.

Chapter 481 Mary Shark Goes Crazy

As we all know, even if you have a ship's visiting permit, there are places on the warship that the general public can go to and places that the general public cannot go to.

This is why, when they first boarded the ship, the officers and soldiers of the Maritime Self-Defense Force immediately led the tourists to the conference room, and only began the tour after they gave a general introduction to the scope of permitted activities based on the layout of the Aegis ship.

However, considering that not everyone can understand maps, the Maritime Self-Defense Force was very considerate and set up isolation belts at various dividing lines with words "Tourists are not allowed to enter" written on them.

Just like what is happening in front of Qin Wuque and the others right now.

The restroom was on the left, and the screams of panic came from the front.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Qin Wuque was still hesitating whether to go over and find out what was going on, but Kudo Shinichi, who had been asking him questions a second ago, had already made a prompt decision and took action.

He took two decisive steps and nimbly climbed over the isolation belt. In the blink of an eye, he rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Hey, Shinichi, that's..."

It was too late for Xiaolan to pull him away, and she could only watch her boyfriend rush into the area where tourists are prohibited from entering with big steps as if he was jumping over hurdles.

Qin Wuque curled his lips inwardly when he saw this.

This little Zaizhi, usually he has a lot of tricks when he says others are breaking the law, but when it comes to breaking the law himself, he is so careless that he even breaks the restricted area on the Aegis ship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force of Japan.

From now on, just change your name. Don’t call yourself Kudo Shinichi anymore, just call yourself Kudo Zhangsan instead.

He muttered to himself and lowered his head to look at Akai Mari who remained silent.

"Want to follow and have a look?"

"……Um."

The girl thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Let's go then."

Qin Wuque shrugged, picked up little Akai Mary from the ground, nimbly crossed the isolation belt, and walked forward.

Xiaolan behind was in a dilemma. She hesitated for a while, but finally gritted her teeth and followed.

The location where the sound came from was actually not far away.

It was a room that looked like a work computer room, with servers with flashing colored signal lights lined up against the walls.

Apart from the server, there was only one table in the entire room. Two soldiers from the Aegis ship were standing around it, staring at the object on the table with horror on their faces.

It was a severed arm.

The severed arm did not look fresh, and there were debris such as seaweed mixed between the fingers, as if it had just been fished out of the sea.

Due to long-term immersion, the broken arm turned white and wrinkled, emitting a fishy smell, and looked very disgusting.

The most important thing is that on the broken arm, there is a piece of Maritime Self-Defense Force uniform.

Judging from the rank on the cuff, this should be the arm of a first-class lieutenant colonel.

"Oh! Look what I found, a piece of the King's Power!"

A rhythmic voice sounded from the door of the computer room. The two soldiers sitting around the table raised their heads suddenly and saw four heads, three big and one small, curiously looking inside.

They looked like a college student, two high school students, and one who might have just graduated from elementary school.

"Hey, you guys, this place is forbidden to enter!" The soldier reacted in time and reminded.

"I'm sorry, we didn't plan to come in. We just heard the noise and thought something unexpected happened, so we came in to check it out."

Kudo Shinichi did not retreat but moved forward, his eyes fell on the broken arm covered by white cloth on the table.

"This is a human arm, right? I'm high school detective Kudo Shinichi. Can I take a closer look?"

"High school detective Kudo Shinichi..."

Upon hearing the name, one of the Maritime Self-Defense Force soldiers looked puzzled.

"Who is that?"

Another Maritime Self-Defense Force soldier exclaimed, "That's the Tokyo high school detective who solved so many cases!"

"Who?"

"No, so it's that famous high school detective..."

"Have not heard."
