The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

They were secretly trying to investigate and make contact with other Templar or Assassin organizations.

But in the past forty years, apart from having some minor connections with the Forerunner Foundation in some insignificant places, they have found absolutely no information related to the Templars or the Assassin Brotherhood.

On the contrary, the more they dealt with the Pioneer Foundation, the more they felt the mystery and impenetrability of the Templar organization.

To this day, no matter how hard intelligence agencies around the world investigate, they have not been able to find anything on the Forerunner Foundation. Moreover, the Templars have been hiding for thousands of years. As for their brewery, even though they have been careful enough over the past few decades, they still cannot avoid being detected by intelligence agencies from various countries. They themselves do not even know how many traitors and spies are in the organization.

After years of fruitless investigation into the Knights Templar, they had even given up on continuing the investigation when suddenly the “Brotherhood” that Jiang Hang had fabricated to frame Gin came to light.

They then discovered that Jiang Hang, the nominal heir of the Pioneer Foundation, had settled in Tokyo, Japan, two months prior.

The Templars had demonstrated their power and mentioned the Assassin Brotherhood in front of the brewery forty years ago, so after Gin leaked information about the Brotherhood, the brewery's higher-ups did consider whether it was a frame-up by the mysterious Templars against the Assassin Brotherhood.

But upon closer reflection, they realized that the Templars had nearly brought them down forty years ago. Even though they had secretly developed for forty years into a powerful criminal organization feared by countries around the world, they still didn't believe they could surpass the Templars, who had been developing in secret for thousands of years and possessed unknown and formidable power.

In their eyes, the Templars, who were far more powerful than them, had no need to resort to such troublesome means if they wanted to take Sherry away.

In other words, even if the Templars were responsible for this, they are not ready to go to war with them. Therefore, they currently believe that the Templars discovered signs of the Assassin organization's activities in Japan, which is why they sent Jiang Hang here to investigate.

Vermouth was the person they chose to negotiate with Jiang Hang.

After all, Vermouth's position within the organization is quite special, and she also possesses extremely strong disguise and intelligence-gathering abilities. It would be best if she could find out Sherry's whereabouts. Even if the negotiations ultimately fail, at least it would ensure that she doesn't strain the relationship between the Distillery and the Templars.

Who would have thought that the two people chatting now are Vermouth, who is in a sense a double agent of the brewery, and Jiang Hang, who has not yet figured out how many "surprises" his own mischievous system has added to his life. Therefore, the two of them are thinking to themselves when they are talking.

Vermouth spoke "frankly" to Jiang Hang about the organization, while also subtly trying to elicit information from him.

Knowing that Vermouth wanted to extract information from him, Jiang Hang chose to speak as little as possible, or simply chat with her with a blank expression. He even ignored the subtle "hints" in her words, which were meant to help build a harmonious society.

However, Jiang Hang obtained a lot of information about the brewery from Vermouth, and he also revealed some information about the Assassin Brotherhood.

Of course, all this information was made up by him in his capacity as a Templar Knight. He described the Brotherhood as "madmen who excessively pursue freedom" and spread rumors that important members of the Brotherhood "might have their left ring fingers cut off." He also casually mentioned a few famous historical figures who were assassinated, saying that they were all assassinated by assassins.

Vermouth will truthfully pass these things on to the brewery's higher-ups, and whether they believe them or not is their business.

Jiang Hang felt that Vermouth, being such a shrewd woman, should be able to understand what he meant.

During this negotiation, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning Conan's matter.

Jiang Hang knew that among all the people in the distillery, only Vermouth, who had been saved by Ran and Shinichi Kudo, would pay attention to Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective who had been missing for two months.

Furthermore, given that she deliberately disguised herself as Araide Tomoaki to meet Conan, she probably already realizes that Conan is actually Kudo Shinichi, who has undergone strange changes in his body after taking the organization's drug A.

Conan, who shrunk because of Drug A, and Shiho Miyano, who developed Drug A—even Jiang Hang, a third-rate detective, could sense the connection between the two. With Vermouth's intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to figure it out.

But Vermouth's current attitude seems to be telling Jiang Hang that she is not that loyal to the organization, and she will not mention Shinichi Kudo to the organization.

Chapter 216: Chapter 214: The Amusement Park Where It All Began

Vermouth obtained information about the assassin organization, while Jiang Hang acquired information about the winery.

At the same time, the two of them also developed a subtle understanding because of Conan.

Jiang Hang will not tell Conan about Vermouth's affairs, while Vermouth will continue to provide Jiang Hang with some secret information about the distillery.

Jiang Hang didn't know how long this subtle understanding could last.

To be honest, Vermouth is indeed a very charming and extremely mysterious woman. Jiang Hang has no idea what kind of past she has or what her position is in the organization.

He couldn't even be sure how important Ran and Conan were to him.

However, given the current situation, Jiang Hang has once again achieved a win-win situation.

Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh when he thought that his background was already powerful enough to easily destroy the winery and even overturn the world order, while he himself still had to play a role-playing game with the winery.

The feeling of being treated with utmost respect as a big shot was not bad, but he also felt that his gaming experience had become plain, unpretentious, and boring.

Of course, Jiang Hang did not get arrogant. He knew very well that his current strength was only at the level of someone who had just left the beginner village, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Moreover, he hadn't forgotten that he still had an unsolved case on his record.

After so much time has been wasted on Vermouth, it's time to bring this case to a close.

He drove towards Dorobiga Amusement Park, and at the same time made a phone call to Shiho Miyano.

......

At Dorobiga Amusement Park, it was already getting dark.

Having lost her memory, Ran, accompanied by Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri, spent a day at the amusement park, experiencing almost every ride and attraction.

In this amusement park, Xiaolan's spirits gradually improved, and she could even vaguely recall some people or events from the past.

Kogoro Mouri was quite gratified to see that his daughter's mental state was gradually improving.

Just thinking that the amusement park rides that Ran could recall were basically the ones she went on with Shinichi Kudo, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but recall that Shinichi Kudo had been missing for more than two months.

It seems that the last place Shinichi Kudo was seen was this amusement park, after which he completely disappeared.

After two months of not appearing in the public eye, even the police began to suspect that Shinichi Kudo's disappearance might mean he had been murdered.

Despite Kogoro Mouri constantly calling Shinichi Kudo "Detective Boy" and complaining that Shinichi stole his thunder,

But he knew very well that his daughter had devoted her whole heart to Shinichi Kudo since she was a child.

So after arriving at the place where Shinichi Kudo disappeared, Kogoro Mouri was constantly worried about what would happen if his daughter remembered Shinichi Kudo's disappearance here.

Over the past two months, he could certainly feel how much Shinichi Kudo's disappearance had affected his daughter.

He even couldn't help but think: rather than letting Ran worry about the missing Shinichi Kudo every day, wouldn't it be better for her to remember nothing at all?

At least for now, Xiaolan seems quite happy.

Of course, this idea only briefly appeared in Kogoro Mouri's mind before he forgot about it.

As evening approached, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but say to his daughter, "Ran, how about we call it a day and come back to play tomorrow?"

However, Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to Ran, expressed a different opinion to Kogoro Mouri.

"There will be a celebration banquet at the amusement park tonight. Let's go after we watch the banquet."

As she said this, she walked over to Kogoro Mouri and whispered to him, "Last time Ran and Shinichi came over, they originally planned to watch the celebration party in the evening before leaving the amusement park. But Shinichi ran into a murder case that day, and the celebration party was postponed by the amusement park."

"The day after we returned from the amusement park, Ran told me that she was disappointed that she didn't get to see the celebration party. After Shinichi disappeared, she never came back here. Perhaps letting Ran see this celebration party that she had never seen before would have an effect on her condition."

Hearing Sonoko Suzuki say this, Kogoro Mouri still seemed somewhat skeptical.

However, he didn't have a good solution for Ran's condition, so he followed Sonoko Suzuki's advice.

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Inspector Megure calling.

"Inspector Megure, it's me, Kogoro Mouri... What? Tomonari has been arrested by the police?" Upon hearing this news, Kogoro Mouri immediately exclaimed in surprise to Inspector Megure on the other end of the phone.

Even Sonoko Suzuki's attention was drawn to Kogoro Mouri's voice.

After all, according to the police, Yoo Sung-jin is the prime suspect in this case.

After all, the same person appeared near the crime scene several times in a row, and each time he left, he seemed rather furtive.

More importantly, after the hotel explosion and the shooting of Miwako Sato, Tomonari Makoto completely disappeared, as if he was afraid of being found by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The police naturally wouldn't give up investigating such a suspicious individual.

Thanks to the efforts of the Tokyo police and intelligence from a police informant,

Ultimately, they uncovered You Chengzhen, who was hiding in a hotel under a false identity.

Yoo Sung-jin has now been arrested by the police and is being interrogated.

Upon hearing that Tomonari was being interrogated, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

In his view, You Chengzhen, who fled to avoid punishment, was the murderer in this case. Originally, they were worried that the escaped murderer might have bad intentions towards Xiaolan, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Lan, You Chengzhen has been successfully apprehended by the police. Now you can finally enjoy the amusement park without worry." He said this, turning to share this happy news with his daughter.

But when he looked at Xiaolan, who was standing not far away, he suddenly realized that his daughter had disappeared without him noticing!

Chapter 217: Chapter 215: Kyosuke Kazato, from Doctor to Murderer (Combined Chapter)

Kyosuke Kazato is a psychiatrist at Beika Hospital.

Many people know that he is about to become a specially hired psychological consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department. In addition, he also provides expensive psychological counseling to many political figures and dignitaries.

To outsiders, he could be said to have reached the very top in the field of psychiatry.

Few people know that seven years ago he was hailed as "the most talented surgeon at the University of Tokyo Hospital in the last twenty years".

Seven years ago, during an operation, his wrist was slashed by the notorious Yasushi Nino.

Although the injury caused by the knife was treated in time, his daily life was not affected, and he was even able to undergo some routine surgical procedures.

But when Kyosuke Kazato picked up the scalpel again, he knew that his chances of becoming a top surgeon had been completely blocked by Yasushi Nino's knife.

Kyosuke Kazato is a very proud man. From childhood to adulthood, his grades have always been among the best in school. When he first graduated from medical school, his goal was to become the world's top surgeon.

Knowing that he could no longer reach the top as a surgeon, he eventually chose to leave the University of Tokyo Hospital and become a psychologist instead of a surgeon.

Despite his current success as a psychologist, only Kyosuke Kazato himself knows how desperate he felt when he realized his dream was unattainable.

This is why Kyosuke Kazato harbors deep hatred for Nino, who only received a punishment from the hospital and seemed unmoved when apologizing to him.

He suppressed this resentment in his heart for six whole years!

To avoid arousing suspicion from the police, he did not meet with Nino Yasushi very often after leaving the University of Tokyo Hospital, and at most he would contact her during holidays.

Those who knew about Kyosuke Kazato's hand injury also thought that Kyosuke Kazato was a magnanimous and optimistic man, because in the past six years they had never heard Kyosuke Kazato complain to Yasushi Nino.

Six years have passed, and Kyosuke Kazato has become one of the top psychologists at Beika Hospital. With so much time gone by, almost everyone has forgotten what happened six years ago.

But Kyosuke Kazato didn't forget. Instead, he was quietly waiting for the right opportunity. He even secretly cultivated relationships with the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department, starting with lower-ranking officers and gradually providing psychological services to the higher-ups.

Until last summer, when Kyosuke Kazato learned that Yasushi Nino had caused the death of a patient due to a surgical error on the operating table, he knew that his opportunity had come.

Six years later, Kyosuke Kazato visited Yasushi Nino's home for the first time.

Because of Kyosuke Kazato's open-mindedness over the past six years, Yasushi Nino did not have any suspicion about Kyosuke Kazato's visit. Instead, he drank with Kyosuke Kazato at his home.

This man, Yasushi Nino, had just caused a patient's death on the operating table not long ago due to his own fault, but instead of showing any remorse, he complained while the two of them were drinking that the money the deceased's family was demanding from him was nothing short of "extortion."

At that moment, Kazato Kyosuke subtly inquired of the half-drunk Jinno Yasushi what he was thinking when Jinno Yasushi slashed him six years ago.

After being forced to drink a lot of alcohol, Nino Yasushi said something like, "You were too honest back then." Although he didn't say it was intentional, the meaning was quite clear.
