But when he saw Shizuka Sakaki beside him, who had just finished showering and had a slightly flushed face, he hesitated.
It's late at night, and the two of them are in the same room. Is it really appropriate for him to leave Shizuka Sakaki and go play games on his own?
Shouldn't we do something more appropriate for the atmosphere at this time?
To be precise, it seems he has been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hang's throat involuntarily moved.
“That Sakaki…” His gaze met Sakaki Shizuka’s eyes.
Shizuka Sakaki seemed to sense a subtle change in the atmosphere of the room after Jiang Hang put away the invitation.
When she met Jiang Hang's straightforward gaze, her heart started racing.
She nervously kneaded her hands in front of her.
"What...what happened?"
Jiang Hang breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Shizuka Sakaki slightly avert her gaze.
Then he tentatively asked the girl a question.
"Want to play a game together?"
"what?"
The girl's eyes widened slightly, her emotions already building up. So it turned out Jiang Hang just wanted to invite her to play a game together?
......
It is well known that 80% of the players on the Japanese server of a certain game are Chinese.
So when the still-newbie Shizuka Sakaki was playing a game with Jiang Hang, she saw Jiang Hang type out a series of pinyin that she couldn't quite understand with amazing speed after being let down by his teammates.
When Shizuka Sakaki asked Jiang Hang, completely bewildered, what they were talking about, Jiang Hang simply told her that it was just a friendly exchange, pointing out each other's shortcomings, and that she shouldn't overthink it.
Seeing Jiang Hang typing with a smile on his face, Sakaki Shizuka still believed the nonsense Jiang Hang was telling.
Anyway, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't understand what the four letters "NMSL" meant. She only saw that after Jiang Hang typed those four letters, the chat in the game just wouldn't stop.
Even after the game ended, this friendly exchange didn't stop. And to Sakaki Shizuka's puzzled look, the person who had just talked to Jiang Hang pulled Jiang Hang into a room for a one-on-one duel and even typed the words "shu de jiao die".
According to Jiang Hang, the other person knew he hadn't played well in the previous game, so he wanted to learn from him.
"Jiang Hang, you're really helpful." When she saw Jiang Hang sparring with his opponent while typing "instructions" for him, Shizuka Sakaki couldn't help but exclaim.
Chapter 246: Chapter 244: The Oda Group
One evening, I played a few games with Shizuka Sakaki. After gradually getting the hang of it, Shizuka, who couldn't understand Chinese pinyin, still had a lot of fun and gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Hang's kind heart.
It turns out that Jiang Hang is just as enthusiastic even towards strangers in the game. Even if he loses the game, he will still guide his teammates who didn't play well in the previous game.
Jiang Hang, who possesses assassin blood and the ability to see through things, gained three sons that very night.
Why did I run into so many idiotic teammates tonight? They fed the enemy faster than I killed them.
Jiang Hang muttered to himself, thankfully Sakaki Shizuka didn't understand Chinese. In her eyes, he was still that refined, easy-going, and positive detective.
However, having finished playing the game, Shizuka Sakaki's mood had calmed down, and it was time for him to get down to business.
After Shizuka Sakaki went to her guest room to rest, Jiang Hang glanced at the information about the mud conference that Conan had sent him, then changed his clothes and left the agency.
In addition to the main body, the Mud Ginseng Association also has several gangs or branches.
There are also gang struggles within the Mud Ginseng Association, such as the lucrative drug trade and arms dealing. Even though everyone knows that they are likely to be targeted by the police, these gangs still want to get involved in the face of huge profits.
Within the Mud God Association, those willing to do dirty work for the Mud God Association naturally have an easier time obtaining these channels. For example, the cadre who was in contact with Kazeto Kyosuke was a Black Star Association cadre who took the initiative to handle arms transactions, while the cadre who contacted Tsugawa Hideji for drug transactions was from the Oda Group.
According to the information provided by Conan and Takagi, these two gangs have been among the most active within the Muddy Sand Gang in recent years, and are also among the biggest thorns in the side of the Japanese police.
It must be said that the Mud Ginseng Association is really shrewd. They control equally lucrative gray-market transactions that are not easily targeted by the police, while they outsource the black-market transactions that are more likely to be targeted by the police to others, taking only a cut and a fee.
If something really happens and they get caught by the police, they can simply walk away and shift the blame to the gangs that have merged into them.
Once the storm has passed, they'll support another gang within the organization to take over. After all, there's never a shortage of people in the underworld willing to take risks for money.
Therefore, Jiang Hang's current task is less about dealing with the Mud Ginseng Association and more about eliminating the Oda Group, which lost hundreds of millions of yen worth of drugs due to Sakaki Shizuka's interference.
Jiang Hang brought Altaïr along as well, and they arrived near the territory of the Oda Group, intending to conduct some simple investigations into the group.
However, it seems that Jiang Hang is quite lucky. The Oda Group is planning something big tonight. Dressed in dark clothes, he stood on a high-rise building and noticed that the Oda Group leader, Oda Taisei, got into a car and headed to a certain place.
Following him, more than a dozen Oda-gumi underlings also left their territory in various inconspicuous ways.
Jiang Hang didn't know what the Oda Group was planning, but he still had Altaïr follow the car that Oda Taisei was riding in through the air. For Altaïr, who was already very intelligent, this was something he could do even without using the shared Hawkeye feature. Jiang Hang only needed to wait for the car to stop and then know where the other party was going.
It didn't take Jiang Hang long to get the answer he wanted.
Kabukicho, Tokyo.
As the entertainment hub of Tokyo, even though it's already past midnight, the people of Kabukicho are just getting started with their activities.
Nightclubs, love hotels, brothels, and bars—these are the iconic buildings of Kabukicho. And on the streets of 1-chome, heavily made-up call girls are the most common sight.
Of course, male escorts are also indispensable.
Basically, in Kabukicho, both men and women can find something to do.
This wasn't Jiang Hang's first time visiting Kabukicho; in fact, he'd been there quite a few times.
Of course, he wasn't here to have fun, but to complete exploration tasks and find suitable commissions.
After all, how could a place teeming with pink-themed industries not breed any evil?
In fact, Kabukicho has been a major gathering place for Japanese gangsters for decades, and these things have been depicted in many films, television shows, games and anime.
Within the Mud Ginseng Association alone, several gangs have their strongholds here, and some gangs that have not joined the Mud Ginseng Association also frequently roam around this area.
As Jiang Hang watched Oda Taisei, the leader of the Oda-gumi, lead a few of his underlings into a nightclub, his eyes began to scan the surroundings.
He simply scanned the area with his eagle eyes and, apart from the underlings who were sent outside to monitor the surroundings and to indicate that the nightclub had been booked out, he also spotted no fewer than ten armed men in the vicinity watching the nightclub!
After focusing his attention, Jiang Hang quickly deduced their identities from various details.
These people had deliberately covered their ears to prevent others from noticing the earpieces they were wearing. In addition, the handguns they carried were all Japanese police-specific models. If nothing unexpected happened, they were probably all plainclothes police officers.
It seems the Oda Group has really made a big move today to attract so many police officers.
"After being let down by my terrible teammates so many times in the game tonight, am I finally going to be able to win in real life?"
Standing atop a high-rise building in Kabukicho, looking at the plainclothes police officers, Jiang Hang could easily tell that they probably intended to arrest the Oda-gumi today.
He arrived at just the right time; perhaps the Oda Group would have been taken care of by the police before he even had to lift a finger.
He didn't have to wait long. In Jiang Hang's sight, a car stopped in front of the nightclub that had been booked by the Oda Group. Judging from the habit of the person who got out of the car putting his hands together in front of the group of underlings, the other party should be from Southeast Asia.
With his eagle-eye camera fully activated, Jiang Hang could clearly notice that after this person got out of the car, the plainclothes police officers around him all showed some unusual reactions.
Considering the situation in Southeast Asia and the main responsibilities of the Oda Group in the Mud Ginseng Association, which drug lord is the Oda Group going to talk business with here today?
With the idea of waiting for the police to make a move and then secretly helping them, Jiang Hang fully activated the ability to conceal his presence, completely hiding himself away.
Chapter 247: Chapter 245: Are you playing Infernal Affairs here?
According to Jiang Hang's original plan, he wanted to avoid too many losses on the police side when a conflict broke out between the police and the Oda Group.
Therefore, Jiang Hang sneaked into the nightclub without anyone noticing, intending to coordinate with the police from the inside.
At this moment, he used the simplest method to disguise himself as an inconspicuous person among the gang members. In addition, with the intermediate aura concealment ability to reduce Jiang Hang's presence, as long as he stood in the corner and kept a low profile, even the person he was impersonating would not notice that there was an imposter of himself on the field.
His attention was now focused on the heart of the nightclub.
Oda Daisei, a key member of the Mud Party and the head of the Oda-gumi, sat on a sofa next to the nightclub, chatting and laughing with the Thai man.
For safety reasons, everyone's cell phones were collected and placed on a table to the side, where they were guarded by several gang members.
The Thai man seemed to know that Oda Taisei hadn't had a good time lately, losing billions of yen in the drug market due to various issues. He even asked Oda Taisei in broken Japanese whether the transaction could be guaranteed to be safe.
"Mr. Oda, I've heard that the Japanese police have been keeping a close eye on you. Will there be any problems this time?"
When his recent losses were mentioned, Oda Taisei's expression did not change.
"I'm prepared," he said with a smile to the Thai man, adding that he would pay as long as the drugs they brought were safe, and that the disposal of the drugs would be the responsibility of the Mud Ginseng Association, and they would not be involved.
Under Jiang Hang's gaze, the Thai man had his underling bring out a small sample of drugs for the Oda-gumi to inspect. It seemed that they hadn't brought all the drugs to Kabukicho, but rather were checking the drugs here before going to a pre-arranged location to make the transaction.
This plot seems kind of familiar?
Jiang Hang muttered to himself, especially when he noticed that the underling who inspected Oda Taisei's goods had a cast on his hand, this sense of immediacy became even stronger.
His gaze was completely focused on the person testing the drugs. Under the effect of Hawkeye, a ring on the underling's cast hand was faintly shimmering, indicating that it was not an ordinary ring. However, that was all Hawkeye could see.
Revealing Eagle Eye allows him to see more than a regular Eagle Eye, but when Jiang Hang uses Revealing Eagle Eye, his gaze also becomes uncontrollably sharp, which is the origin of his current title of "Eagle Eye Detective".
It can be said that the skills Reveal Eagle Eye and Concealing Aura are somewhat contradictory. Reveal Eagle Eye is certainly useful when collecting evidence at a crime scene or when you want to put some psychological pressure on the interrogation target. However, when playing as an assassin and infiltrating the area surrounded by enemies, if you don't want to go on a rampage like those assassin predecessors, the regular Eagle Eye is sufficient.
After silently memorizing the younger brother's appearance, Jiang Hang didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the police were already waiting outside, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
However, after Oda Taisei changed the transaction location twice, the middle-aged yakuza boss's expression seemed to turn somewhat ugly.
Even his underlings started discussing it in private.
During these discussions, Jiang Hang also vaguely heard voices suggesting that there was a "mole" within the organization.
Hearing these discussions, Jiang Hang couldn't help but twitch his lips. The winery was full of traitors, and now the Mud Ginseng Association was starting to suspect that there might be traitors within their own gang.
Everyone's playing a double agent game here.
However, the brewery has not yet exposed any undercover agents in the Japanese police or other intelligence organizations, while the Muddy Sandwich Association seems to have more of that intrigue.
Jiang Hang noticed that Oda Taisei would usually change the transaction location only after glancing at his phone. It was likely that the messages were sent to him by the Muddy Ginseng Association, or rather, by Oda Group's moles within the police force.
Oda Taisei held his phone and scanned everyone in the nightclub. He even gave Jiang Hang, who was relatively unknown, a fierce look. However, thanks to the ability to conceal his presence, the gang leader failed to notice Jiang Hang, the imposter.
Finally, he went to another room to set up a new trading location.
This time it seemed like there were no problems at all. However, after another ten minutes or so, Oda Taisei received the last message, and his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
He immediately instructed his underlings to dump all the drugs from the deal and escape. However, while making the call, he could already hear the voices of the police on the other end of the line.
He deleted the messages from his phone, then stood up with a grim expression: "There's a cop mole here. Everyone, search them."
The idea of an inside man was initially just speculation among the underlings, but after their boss admitted it, the entire nightclub became noisy.
