The Daily Life of a Salted Fish Assassin in Anime Crossovers

“I suspect the organization may have already taken action. Have you investigated the doctor who came here to treat Kudo today? I still think it’s not a wise thing to give Kudo baijiu at this time.”

This afternoon, she followed Jiang Hang's instructions and gave Conan some baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor) because she trusted him, and also because she hadn't fully believed that the mysterious substance in the baijiu could turn Conan's body back to normal.

Jiang Hang was well aware of Shiho Miyano's concerns. Although Shiho Miyano had never actually met Vermouth at the brewery, she still knew which people in the organization disliked her.

Among those who wished to see her die was Vermouth.

To prevent Shiho Miyano from overthinking, Jiang Hang didn't tell her about Vermouth.

“I’ve already met that person, and he is indeed from the distillery.”

Shiho Miyano's expression changed slightly, but after spending more time with Jiang Hang, she knew that with Jiang Hang's cautious nature, if the other party was really a member of the organization, Jiang Hang would not let Kudo drink the baijiu if he was not confident. Therefore, Jiang Hang must have something else to say.

Seeing that Shiho Miyano wasn't intimidated by him, Jiang Hang shrugged and continued making things up: "But that person wasn't here to investigate you; he was sent by the brewery to investigate me."

This time, Shiho Miyano's face finally showed a look of shock again.

"Investigating you?"

Could it be that there is some kind of unspeakable secret between the Pioneer Foundation and the organization behind Jiang Hang?

“After all, the Pioneer Foundation made a lot of money from the Karasuma Group forty years ago. The two organizations even fought back then. Now that I’ve come to Japan, the brewery naturally wants to find out why I’m here,” Jiang Hang smiled at Shiho Miyano.

"However, the distillery probably didn't expect that the person they sent to investigate me was a traitor who told me everything the distillery wanted him to do."

"So you don't need to worry. The distillery is just investigating me and also looking into whether they can recruit me into their organization. They don't know about Conan yet, nor do they know that I rescued you."

Jiang Hang mostly told the truth regarding Shiho Miyano's explanation.

He blurred Vermouth's gender, and she was indeed sent by the brewery to negotiate with him. The brewery's higher-ups did indeed have the idea of ​​cooperating with the Templars behind Jiang Hang.

Therefore, Shiho Miyano quickly believed what Jiang Hang said.

She seemed somewhat concerned about the identity of the "traitor" Jiang Hang mentioned, but she didn't dwell on it too much.

In comparison, she was more curious about something else Jiang Hang had just mentioned.

"So, do you have any other purpose in coming to Japan?"

Faced with Shiho Miyano's curiosity, Jiang Hang thought to himself, "It's because his system's transmigration system malfunctioned that he ended up here."

Of course, Jiang Hang couldn't tell Shiho Miyano that he originally wanted to go to 15th-century Florence to become Leonardo da Vinci's best friend. So after thinking for a while, Jiang Hang looked at Shiho Miyano with a serious expression.

"Because I'm an otaku, I came to Japan just to better watch anime and play games. Detective work is just a side job and hobby for me. My biggest goal is to build my own ACG empire in Japan."

Aside from the system he can't talk about, and the things that a shut-in like him can't directly tell women, this is arguably Jiang Hang's most genuine thought right now.

However, it seems that Shiho Miyano is completely uninterested in Jiang Hang's "ambitions".

Ignoring Jiang Hang's words, Shiho Miyano asked him to leave her laboratory, saying, "I need to continue my research."

It's clear that Shiho Miyano's personality and mental state have changed considerably since she first arrived here.

After meeting with Shinichi Kudo that evening, Ran's mental state began to improve dramatically.

On the very night she met Shinichi Kudo, she regained many of her past memories, and even the tone of her voice gradually changed from the softness she had when she had amnesia back to her original tone.

As Kyosuke Kazato confessed to his crimes, and Miwako Sato was successfully discharged from the hospital and treated by another doctor, and after a few days of recuperation in the hospital, Ran's memory was basically fully restored.

With this, the case, which concerned the reputation of the Metropolitan Police Department, came to a complete end.

Chapter 224: Chapter 222: Urban Rumors About Jiang Hang

With Xiaolan regaining her memories, Jiang Hang's life returned to normal.

Every morning at seven o'clock sharp, I am woken up by my own system, and then spend an hour completing my daily exercise tasks.

After Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Koharu arrive at work, Jiang Hang will check how many requests he needs to take on today.

If there are many commissions, he will just take on a few and do them. If he is too busy for several days in a row, he will choose to take a day or half a day off to rest.

If his agency doesn't have any commissions, after finishing his work, he'll go back to his agency to watch new anime, spend money on mobile games, and then go to the tokusatsu company to check on the preparations for Ultraman and the editing of Gomera.

However, as Jiang Hang hasn't made any big headlines recently, and many of his clients are no longer being accepted, the firm's clientele has gradually stabilized.

At night, he would usually play games in the agency until late, then put on a simple disguise and go out to do exploration missions, while also "upholding justice".

With the intermediate level of aura concealment and the assistance of the rope gun, Jiang Hang can now move freely across the rooftops of skyscrapers in Tokyo, a city filled with high-rise buildings. With Altaïr's help, he can arrive at the scene within minutes whenever he discovers something happening nearby.

Originally, Jiang Hang only went to help people in danger, but as his strength increased, he would occasionally disrupt illegal transactions between gangs.

After persisting in this way for more than two months in Jianghang and helping many people in danger late at night, urban legends have recently begun to circulate online that "if you encounter danger while walking on the streets of Tokyo at midnight, a man dressed in all black with a hood that obscures his face will appear to help you."

Initially, this rumor was just people who had received help from Jiang Hang sharing their experiences online and wanting to express their gratitude to him.

However, as time went by, in Japan, a country with legends of "eight million gods" and various monsters, no one had ever truly seen Jiang Hang's face. In addition, Jiang Hang's appearances and departures were always silent and ghostly, and even those who had been saved by Jiang Hang could hardly recall the events. As a result, the legend eventually began to develop in the direction of the supernatural.

It seems that because Jiang Hang's style is too bizarre, there are almost no positive comments on the internet so far. The best evaluations are that Jiang Hang is called "a ghost of the night" or "a black-clothed monster". Some people even regard Jiang Hang as an evil god or monster that brings disaster. Therefore, he only appears when others are in danger.

Jiang Hang, who didn't intend to be discovered by anyone, found these rumors somewhat amusing but didn't experience any other emotions.

However, recently, when he went out at night to complete exploration missions, he would occasionally encounter some reckless young people trying to carry out dangerous activities, hoping to lure him, the "monster who brings disaster," away.

Some of these people are genuine enthusiasts of paranormal rumors, wanting to know if the recent rumors of a "black-clad monster" are true, but others have more complex intentions.

Those people were members of certain violent gangs in Tokyo. Unlike those who had been saved by Jiang Hang, they had suffered a lot of bad luck because of Jiang Hang's appearance. Although they still hadn't seen Jiang Hang's true face, these gangsters wouldn't easily believe that a "monster" had ruined their plans.

So recently they have been deliberately making some moves to lure Jiang Hang out and then give him a "deep lesson".

However, Jiang Hang was not about to be fooled by those people's poor acting skills. He didn't hesitate to take action against those who wanted to take revenge on him.

With the effect of intermediate-level aura concealment, he no longer needs to use smoke bombs to ambush ordinary people. He can simply pick up a stick and leave those guys with an unforgettable memory.

After Jiang Hang did this more than once, those people, after weighing the gap between their own strength and Jiang Hang's, ultimately chose to report it to their superiors.

A clear hierarchy—this is the current state of Japan's yakuza, or rather, yakuza organizations.

In addition to a leader, a large gang usually has several or even more officers. These officers usually have their own smaller gangs, and these smaller gangs also have the same system of "leaders and officers". This layered division has led to the current situation.

If the smaller gangs under these officials want to gain the protection of the larger gangs, they must pay "fees" or "membership fees" regularly. For the top gangs, they don't even have to do anything; the membership fees they receive each month are already an astonishing amount.

Of course, only a very small percentage of people in the underworld can make money passively. For most low-level gangs, the monthly tax payments alone are enough to make them worry.

While yakuza organizations are legal in Japan, they are also prohibited by law from engaging in illegal activities.

But it's easy to understand: if someone joins a gang, how could they not engage in illegal activities?

Unable to pay their dues through normal means, the lower-level gangs have no choice but to resort to various methods to make money.

The bigwigs in those gangs only care whether the monthly tribute has arrived, not how the money was obtained.

If the police were to catch them doing these things, the bigwigs at the top wouldn't dare to go against the police for such a thing; they would be considered generous enough to hire a lawyer for them.

Of course, their membership fees weren't paid for nothing. Each gang had its own territory. On their own territory, no matter how much protection money they collected or how much illegal business they engaged in, aside from being arrested by the police, if any other unsavory forces entered their territory and they couldn't handle it, they could ask the big shots above them for help.

Now, Jiang Hang, this guy who suddenly appeared, is just that kind of person in their eyes. Since they can't deal with Jiang Hang, all they can do is report to the gang above them and ask for support.

Chapter 225: Chapter 223: The Mud Ginseng Association is a bit troubled lately.

This world controls the Tokyo underworld order, and the largest gang is the Muddy Ginseng Association.

Most of the gangs that were "harmed" by Jiang Hang were gangs that accepted the protection of the Mud Ginseng Association.

One can imagine that when reports of "mysterious men in black repeatedly disrupting their transactions on their turf" came to the attention of the Mud Ginseng Association's top brass, the expressions on their faces were not very pleasant.

The past few months have not been very comfortable for Mud Ginseng Festival participants.

The Mud Ginseng Association has had some bad luck these past few months. More than two months ago, the Japanese Public Security Bureau somehow found evidence of their arms deal, and they had to pay a heavy price to settle the matter.

Then, the excellent drug supply channel on Tsukikage Island was discovered by the Japanese police. They not only lost a large amount of drugs, but the people on Tsukikage Island also revealed their drug syndicate under police interrogation. It took them a lot of effort to resolve this matter, but one of the drug syndicate's executives was imprisoned as a result, and they almost lost control of the entire Tokyo drug market.

After spending almost a month, they finally regained control of Tokyo's drug market. However, the director of the Beika Library, Tsugawa, was found to be involved in drug trafficking by the police for murder. As a result, they lost a large amount of drugs again and were once again targeted by the police.

Not long after the incident involving Director Tsugawa, another member of the organization fell into trouble. The reason for his downfall was that he sold bombs and weapons to that guy Kyosuke Kazato, which resulted in the deaths of two policemen and serious injuries to another.

After the Metropolitan Police Department lost face because of this case, the officer who supplied Kyosuke Kazato with weapons naturally had to suffer as well.

What made the Mud Ginseng Association's higher-ups even more uneasy was that, as the largest gang in Tokyo, they naturally knew that their every move was being watched by the Japanese police. But recently, they realized that in addition to the police, there were several hidden forces that were blaming the Mud Ginseng Association for a lot of trouble.

To this day, they still haven't figured out which organizations are smearing them, and can only vaguely guess that it's a few mysterious organizations that have recently gathered in Tokyo.

One of them is a mysterious organization whose members are named after alcoholic beverages. Because this organization originated in Japan, the higher-ups of the Mud Ginseng Association know a little about it. The other organization is a mysterious multinational organization that recently entered Tokyo. Its members are all codenamed "animals." They seem to have entered Japan in search of a mysterious gem.

Besides these two organizations, they recently learned that an even more mysterious "Assassin Brotherhood" has also entered Japan. However, this organization is so mysterious that even they have not been able to find anything about it so far.

A group of "drunkards," a group of "animals," and now a group of "assassins" have emerged. These guys have attracted a whole host of monsters and freaks to Tokyo. It looks like the Mud Ginseng Association's revenue will plummet this quarter. And in this turbulent time of internal and external troubles, their gangs are being thrown into chaos by a mysterious guy. Naturally, the Mud Ginseng Association's higher-ups are not in a good mood.

They didn't take Jiang Hang seriously. After all, judging from the reactions of the other gangs, he was just a guy with decent skills.

Compared to Jiang Hang, who is considered "insignificant," the higher-ups at the Mud Association are now more concerned about the seemingly unstable situation in Tokyo.

"Just find a few assassins to help them take care of that guy," the Mud Ginseng Association made its final decision almost without much discussion among its higher-ups regarding Jiang Hang's matter.

Jiang Hang, of course, had no idea that he hadn't yet gone to cause trouble for the Mud Ginseng Association; on the contrary, the Mud Ginseng Association had already set its sights on him.

Even if he knew about this, he wouldn't have any special reaction.

After all, the winery that used to hide in the shadows and constantly smear the Mud Ginseng Association is now trembling with fear at the background that the system created for him. A Mud Ginseng Association that is out in the open doesn't really exert that much pressure on Jiang Hang.

After settling into a comfortable daily life, Jiang Hang is now more concerned about the upcoming Gomera movie, which will be officially released next week.

The promotion for Gomera is currently in full swing, but what worries the staff at DaBao Films is that during the release of Gomera, two other popular tokusatsu series will release a theatrical version of Kamen Rider and a brand new special episode of Edo Warriors: The Great Shogun.

In comparison, although Jiang Hang was willing to spend money on the production and promotion of Gomera, Gomera's popularity was indeed far behind those two popular works.

Jiang Hang didn't have any good solutions to this gap in popularity.

All Jiang Hang could do was give the crew a break after the film was released in Gomela, and then focus all of Dabao Films' energy on the production of Ultraman.

Even Jiang Hang himself felt that, sandwiched between these two popular tokusatsu films, the box office performance of this last Gomera movie in the "old era" might not be very optimistic.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the morning news on television reported that the lead actor of "Great Edo Warrior Shogun," Saburo Hosei, had been arrested on suspicion of murdering actor Takeshi Ikuta.

With this happening, not only were the special episodes that were originally scheduled to be released postponed, but even the tokusatsu series "The Great General" has had its broadcast temporarily suspended.

Upon seeing this news, Jiang Hang couldn't help but sigh.

This case is from the Ace Attorney series. Unlike Detective Conan, which already had over a thousand episodes before he traveled through time and was still ongoing, Ace Attorney's storyline isn't very long. Jiang Hang still remembers most of the Ace Attorney stories, and he also knows the truth behind this case.

He Xingsaburo was not the murderer; in fact, Ibuki Takeshi died in an accident.

To be precise, Takeshi Ikuta was preparing to take revenge on someone and wanted to frame Saburo Hosei, but he died unexpectedly during the process of revenge.

A month after he acquired Dabao Films, he visited Yingdu Studio, where the Great General series was filmed, several times under the pretext of cooperation. He even chatted with Takeshi Ikuta, hoping to "poach" him to his Dabao Films.
