Jiang Hang tried to use his eagle eye to survey the entire art museum. Although he didn't encounter many people along the way, it was still a day off, and there were still forty or fifty people in the huge art museum, including the staff.

The reason he was able to track Abe Yutaka before was because he had marked the other party in advance with Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye would automatically lock onto the other party when it was activated. But now he has no idea who the murderer is and who the victim is, and he can't lock onto the other party's perspective.

His brain is still that of an ordinary person; given that he can only see for one or two seconds per minute, it's simply impossible for him to monitor forty or fifty people at the same time.

After much deliberation, Jiang Hang could only focus on Conan for now and wait for the system to issue a case notification.

After all, Conan is always the first to discover a crime scene. As long as you know where Conan is, at least he won't miss a case.

Solving murder cases is naturally the best way for a detective to make a name for himself. To become a famous detective, one must go through countless murder cases, but he does not want to get used to it.

This might contradict the system's original intention of "cultivating himself into a world-class legendary detective," but Jiang Hang thought about it carefully and realized that his system was a complete rip-off. In the end, the system's original intention should have been to cultivate him into a legendary assassin.

It was a system that was so terrible that it was forced to switch from an assassin system to a detective system after being transported to the wrong world.

Although it has now given itself a detective's skin, it is still essentially the same assassin system.

He himself was not a proper detective at all, but an assassin disguised as a detective.

One is a fraudulent system posing as a detective, and the other is a positive-energy assassin disguised as a detective. There's no need to concern ourselves with the affairs of the real detectives.

Considering how much I've accommodated it, it shouldn't be a problem for it to accommodate me in this respect as well.

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"—Jiang Hang has always kept this classic tenet in mind.

Chapter 23: Discovering the Crime Scene

The system did not respond to Jiang Hang's idea.

Perhaps the system doesn't actively probe Jiang Hang's thoughts, or perhaps it tacitly approves of Jiang Hang's ideas; in any case, Jiang Hang is prepared to do things his own way.

As for whether I will change my mind in the future, let's wait and see.

Maintaining an average frequency of activating Eagle Vision every two to three minutes, Jiang Hang, led by Muchun Yuno, wandered aimlessly around the art museum.

Everything seems normal on Conan's side as well. Judging from what his Hawkeye camera shows, the case probably hasn't happened yet.

Suddenly, Yoshino, who was walking ahead, stopped in a rather strange manner.

"Strange, why is this place sealed off? I was quite interested in it before."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hang asked.

Yoshino Kiharu pointed to a fork in the road: "If we go straight ahead, we'll be heading to the Ocean Exhibition Hall, which is a place with some ship models and marine specimens. But according to the map we saw earlier, this place should be... the 'Hell Exhibition Hall.' It mainly contains medieval armor and weapons, as well as quite a few demon statues. I searched online, and it looks pretty scary inside. I was actually thinking of going in to take a look."

"Right, it must be because of that rumor about the walking armor that Jiang Hang heard that this venue has been temporarily closed." Kiharu Yuno suddenly remembered the rumor that Jiang Hang had heard and found a suitable reason for the closure of the Hell Exhibition Hall.

However, Jiang Hang did not think so.

He had been looking for exhibitions related to armor, but while he saw quite a few pieces of armor, they were all very ordinary and didn't seem like the kind of equipment the murderer would use to commit the crime.

While Eagle Eye can penetrate walls, it primarily detects living beings. Inanimate objects like armor and weapons will not be detected unless they have already established a connection with someone.

However, from Jiang Hang's eagle-eye perspective, there were two human reactions in this already closed exhibition hall!

One person stood silently against the wall, while another wandered around the exhibition hall at will.

The person standing against the wall was also in an abnormal posture, as if they were pretending to be something.

The murderer was wearing armor and standing still, waiting for someone else to approach!

Jiang Hang suddenly realized this.

"I want to go in and take a look," he said, looking at Yoshino Kiharu beside him.

The scene that follows might be a little cruel to the girl. Even though Jiang Hang wanted to take her to visit the crime scene, he softened at the crucial moment and therefore did not plan to bring Koharu Yuno along.

"Just wait here for me, I'll be out soon."

"This isn't a good idea..." Yuno Kiharu was unaware that a murder was about to occur inside the exhibition hall. She simply felt that since the area was already sealed off, it would be impolite for them to go in, and it wouldn't be good if others found out.

"I came here because of the rumors about the armor walking at night. If we go back without even seeing anything, Sakaki will laugh at us both in the office."

As Jiang Hang said this, he walked directly past the "No Entry" sign and into the exhibition hall.

Seeing that Jiang Hang had made up his mind, Mu Chunyuno hesitated for a moment before following him.

Are you sure you want to come with me?

As Jiang Hang walked briskly forward, he sensed that Yoshino Kiharu's footsteps were catching up, and he couldn't help but ask her a question.

“Actually, I’m quite curious about what’s inside,” Yoshino Kiharu chuckled softly.

There are definitely things inside that you don't want to see.

Jiang Hang was thinking this when, at that moment, he seemed to hear a scream coming from inside the closed exhibition hall.

The soundproofing in this exhibition hall was excellent; if it weren't for his assassin bloodline greatly enhancing his perception, he probably wouldn't have been able to confirm it.

Jiang Hang, whose eyes were still a little uncomfortable after just using Eagle Eye, forcibly activated Eagle Eye.

Sure enough, he hadn't misheard. In his eagle-eye view, the murderer had already made his move.

He quickened his pace and rushed to the entrance of the exhibition hall, only to find that the entrance door was locked!

"The door is locked... There's nothing we can do then, Jiang Hang, let's go back... Jiang Hang, what are you doing?"

Just as Koharu Yuno breathed a sigh of relief and was about to call Jiang Hang back, she noticed that Jiang Hang suddenly pulled out a thin wire from his person, bent down, and tried to insert it into the keyhole of the door lock.

"Hey, hey, hey, Jiang Hang-kun, this is a crime..." Mu Chun Yuno's expression turned strange. Why did her boss just pull out a wire to open the door without warning?

Do detectives now need to know this trick?

What if they find out? Will they be taken to the police station? But I heard that Jiang Hangjun has a good relationship with the police, and he's also rich. He should be able to settle this with money.

No, no, this is still a crime, no matter what. I can't just stand by and watch Jiang Hangjun do such a thing...

Just as Koharu Yuno was about to stop Jiang Hang's actions, Jiang Hang pushed open the previously locked door as the wire turned.

Well, it's too late, nothing she says will make a difference.

Yoshino Kiharu helplessly covered her forehead with her hand.

However, she just glanced around and it didn't seem like there were any cameras around. So, if the two of them were careful and didn't get caught, they could probably pretend nothing had happened... probably.

"Mu Chun, go outside and call the police now, and also call an ambulance."

Suddenly, she heard Jiang Hang's words, and then she discovered that Jiang Hang had rushed straight into the exhibition hall.

"Jiang Hangjun——"

She cried out in alarm, because once the door was opened, the sounds from inside the exhibition hall inevitably reached her ears.

It was a man's pitiful wail!

Just hearing that sound made Yuno Kiharu's legs go weak.

This hellish exhibition hall was designed with a gloomy and oppressive theme. Even during the day, there was little lighting inside the hall, not to mention that the hall was now closed off. Apart from the emergency lights around the perimeter, her eyes had not yet adjusted to the darkness, and she could not see anything inside the hall at all.

Remembering Jiang Hang's earlier whisper in her ear telling her to call the police, she couldn't help but swallow nervously.

She wanted to quickly take out her phone to call the police, but her trembling hands made it take her a long time to finally pull out her phone from her pocket.

Chapter 24: The Dragon-Slaying Hero Will Eventually Become the Dragon Himself

The exhibition hall, named Hell, seemed to transform into a real hell at this moment.

Accompanied by the man's agonizing screams, the smell of blood filled the exhibition hall. Even though Jiang Hang had prepared himself, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to seeing this scene with his own eyes.

In his line of sight, the murderer, clad in armor and wielding a blood-stained sword, resembled a medieval knight.

In front of him, another man lay on the ground, and judging from the bloody and gruesome wound on his back, he had been slashed in the back with a sharp sword.

If the murderer had been more forceful, the man would probably have died on the spot, instead of still having the strength to scream and call for help. However, as a large amount of blood continued to flow from his wound, his voice became weaker and weaker.

Surprisingly, the oppressive and dim environment around him did not make Jiang Hang feel any sense of incongruity.

Upon seeing someone suddenly burst into the exhibition hall, the man lying on the ground groaning in pain seemed to have found a savior, shouting to Jiang Hang, "Save me, save me, I'll give you any amount of money you want."

Jiang Hang stopped two or three meters away from the murderer.

He wasn't carrying any weapons. He wasn't a weapon master like Uncle Jackie, nor was he Master Huang or Master Ye. With only basic fighting skills, he could dodge the opponent's attacks with his own speed, but it was too much to ask of him to quickly take down a murderer wearing armor and wielding a weapon.

The murderer clearly hadn't expected tourists to run in at this time. He stared blankly at Jiang Hang, who was standing not far away, even through his armor.

"Stop it. Things aren't beyond repair yet. It's not too late to stop now." Jiang Hang was unaware of the feud between the two. He frowned at the wailing man's attempt to use money to get others to work for him even in the face of death. But no matter what, it was still a human life.

The man who had fallen to the ground immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy from the "armored knight".

"Director Ochiai, I know what you want to do. I promise you, I promise you everything. I won't demolish the museum, and I won't sell the artworks. Please, have mercy on me! I won't tell anyone about what happened today!"

Upon hearing the other party call out his name directly, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the person inside the armor.

He looked at the boy standing in front of him, the sword in his hand trembling slightly.

However, in the end, he still shook his head, and for the first time, his voice came from beneath the armor.

He looked very old, as if he had lost all his energy and spirit and was only holding on by his last bit of willpower.

"Do you think I'll be fooled by you again? This isn't the first time... What kind of determination do you think I had when I did this...?"

"To destroy demons, one must also become a demon, and this... is my resolve..."

His gaze fell on Jiang Hang.

"I'm sorry, young man... I'm sorry to have made you see this."

Jiang Hang sensed something was wrong when the other person said the first few words. When he saw the other person raise the blood-stained blade in his hand and slash at the man on the ground again, he wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Blood splattered on the cold armor, and the man on the ground had also lost his life.

After doing all this, the person inside the armor seemed to have lost all his strength. He released his longsword, staggered back a few steps, and then fell to the ground as if losing his balance.

Jiang Hang watched this scene unfold, his throat bobbing, but he couldn't utter a single word.

This was the first time someone had died right in front of me, and in such a way.

However, he did not feel nauseous or disgusted by the scene before him, perhaps because he was shocked by the murderer's desperate and reckless attitude at the end.

After a while, he slowly walked to the side of the corpse.

There might have been hope a moment ago, but now he's completely dead.

He looked at the murderer who had done all this right in front of him.
