The boy soldier next to the famous detective

The group quickly arrived at the Wakasa base. For the sake of secrecy, Dave and his team only contacted the base commander and explained their purpose.

Having already learned from Ryuichi Shiraishi that Dave and Jonah were there to help with the investigation, the base chief readily showed Dave and Jonah the entire personnel list of the base and secretly investigated the whereabouts of all of them within the base.

"It's now confirmed that two of the members who were supposed to stay at the base and didn't apply to leave are not in their dormitories... Oh, now there's only one left."

After hanging up the phone call from the base commander, Dave tossed aside a photograph he was holding, keeping only one.

"Yosuke Sasaura, the intelligence officer at the Wakasa base, is responsible for protecting the secrets of warships equipped with the Aegis system, including navigation and combat data. If it's him, he would definitely be a target for spies."

"It would be too much trouble for us to investigate. Jonathan, why don't you call Mr. Shiraishi and ask him to investigate Yosuke Sasaura's recent bank statements?"

"Dave, why didn't you just call?"

Jonah looked at Dave with confusion. Dave had always contacted Ryuichi Shiraishi directly before, and Jonah didn't understand why he needed Jonah's help this time.

"It's too late for me to call, it would be too intrusive, but Jonathan, it's okay for you~"

"...All right."

Jonah glanced at Dave with disdain, knowing that Dave was actually somewhat afraid of Shiraishi Ryuichi.

After all, Ryuichi Shiraishi usually keeps a low profile, but he still wields considerable power, and he can oversee Dave's actions that violate the law.

Before meeting Jonah, Rei Furuya was already enough to make Dave put up with a lot of trouble, let alone Ryuichi Shiraishi, who was far superior to Rei Furuya.

"That's it, Uncle Shiraishi. Our mission is to capture Yosuke Sasaura... I don't need to worry about him?"

"Okay, I understand. Three hours later? No problem, I'll get involved."

After speaking with Shiraishi Ryuichi for five minutes, Jonah raised his head with a serious expression.

"Dave, Uncle Shiraishi said that you should try to capture Yosuke Sasaura. If we don't have his location, Takekawa Kouryo absolutely cannot be allowed to escape."

"That's no problem, but do you have other things to do?"

Just by listening to Jonah's answer, Dave could tell that Ryuichi Shiraishi had assigned Jonah other tasks, and asked curiously.

"Yes, Uncle Shiraishi said he found the route that the group of spies took to infiltrate the southern shore of Wakasa Bay. Following the trail, he found their hidden ships and personnel on a small island in the Sea of ​​Japan."

"Uncle Shiraishi has no intention of handing the operation over to the Self-Defense Forces. He plans to have his SAT subordinates take over the operation directly, and I'm going to help him."

"So, asking Jonathan for help... means annihilating them all, leaving no survivors?"

Rumi Wakasa, who was listening nearby, blinked and frowned.

"Such an important person, instead of arresting and interrogating him, they're just going to kill him outright. What is Shiraishi Ryuichi up to?"

"If we don't ask, it's either because Mr. Shiraishi already knows what he needs to know, or... Mr. Shiraishi doesn't want to know, or dares not to know?"

Tilting his head, Curaçao couldn't understand what Shiraishi Ryuichi meant by this action.

"Forget it, what he thinks is none of our business. We just need to focus on the tasks assigned to us."

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Dave clapped his hands, interrupting their contemplation.

Dave had it all figured out: to Whitestone Dragon, they were now a group of people who made it easy to hire people to do dirty work, oh, except Jonah.

Therefore, they don't need to guess what Shiraishi Ryuichi is thinking; they just need to do their job.

Anyway, with Yona around, Shiraishi Ryuichi wouldn't scheme against them.

When are you planning to leave?

"No need to go, I'll meet up with the SAT people here."

"Alright, then we'll leave Sasaura Yosuke to us."

Because of the new mission, Jonah was separated from Dave and the others. Instead of leaving, he stayed in the base commander's office at Wakasa Base, drinking tea and eating snacks sent by the base commander, patiently waiting for the SAT members to arrive.

Two hours later, three armored vehicles entered the Wakasa base, and three teams, a total of 15 SAT members, came out.

"Long time no see, Jonah. It's been so long since you've trained with us."

The leader of the first squad, who was also the overall commander of this operation, saw Jonah, smiled, and waved, ordering his police officers to bring over the equipment they had brought for Jonah.

"We've been quite busy lately, how are we going to get there?"

Jonah took the familiar equipment and quickly put it on, placing the weapons and gear in convenient locations.

"Two routes: three armed speedboats by water and an armed helicopter in the air. Which one do you want to follow?"

"Does the helicopter carry missiles?"

Jonah's eyes lit up slightly when he heard that armed helicopters had been deployed.

"Not equipped."

"What about the machine gun?"

"...No, we're there to fight terrorism, not to create panic, Jonah."

"That can be called an armed helicopter?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jonah's eyes. He completely lost interest in the armed helicopter and chose to take a speedboat to the deserted island.

The squad leader was helpless about Jonah's disdainful look, but still included Jonah in his squad's combat formation.

Fifty minutes later, just as dawn was breaking, Jonah and his men arrived at the marked uninhabited island.

"Intelligence indicates that the enemy has at least 20 people, all of whom are highly skilled and professionally trained. Their weapons are uncertain, but they should not have heavy firepower."

"Mission objective: Annihilate all enemies. No warnings required. Free fire is permitted. Ensure that every enemy in sight is killed."

"Jonah, will you come with us, or will you act independently?"

"I'll go that way; it'll be easier for me to move around there."

Having already seen the outline and terrain of the entire island through satellite maps, Jonah thought for a moment and decided to act alone.

"Okay, stay in touch and don't rush into anything."

In other places, the squad leader might have asked Jonah to join them in the attack, but after glancing at the lush forests and rolling hills of the island, the squad leader felt that there was no need for him to delay Jonah.

"Check your watch, 07:12 AM. Everyone, move out! Let's go!"

......

"I'm so excited to be boarding the Hodaka soon!"

"Yes, this is my first time boarding a warship!"

"Ayumi really wants to see the ocean; it'll be so beautiful!"

The three little ones, who were queuing up to board the Hotaka train, chattered away for a long time. They noticed that Conan Edogawa, who was standing next to them, was silently looking at his phone. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but curiously lean closer.

"Conan, what are you looking at? There's been an explosion on Yagi-i Island in the Sea of ​​Japan, and half of the island has fallen into the seabed. Wow, that's terrifying!"

"Yes, it really is terrifying."
